OTHER NAVAL cATAsTROPHES.

The blowing up of the Maine is the
most serious catastrophe known to the
modern navy. The nearest approach to
it was the destruction in 1893 of the
British batteship Victoria, which, OIL
Tripoh, was rammcd by the Camper
down and sunk within few minutes,
drowning 35S officers and men. The
next nearest parallel case was the de-
struction of the British cruiser Dolerel
in the straits of Magellan, where 143 out
of the 100 of the officers and crew were
lost and no part of the ship was ever
seen again.
OF the other catastrOphes recalled by
the disaster of the Maine the first was
the explosion of a new gun being tested
ON the frigatc Princeton, in 1914, in
stantly killing Secretary of State Up
slur. In 1877 the war ship Huron was
wrecked off the coast of North Carolina
with a loss of 100 men. In 1889, at
Samoa, the Trenton and Vandalia were
wrecked and the Nipsie stranded in a
hurricane, the total loss being 81 lives
Later the destruction of the Kearsagc
upon the Roncador reef in the Carri-
bean sea involved a total loss.

and All Parties Seem Satisfied.
Hickory, n. c.. Feb. 1S.-eSpeciall
A serious shooting affair occurred in
East Hickory last night, near the houvo
of Matt and BesS Nance, two woman
of i'll fame. The facts according to tbo
information at hand are ars follows: r
II. Martin and Joe Jones went to the
house about 8 O'clock and asked admit
ance at the back door. Matt Nance
came out at the front door and went
to the place where the two young mon
were standing, She remarked that tbe,,
had better 60 away, rs Bess was
mad" They started off and the wo-
man turned the corner of the house 20
ing toward the front door. y few SEQ
Onds after she walked away, II pistol
shot came from the direction of tho
corner. Martin staggered back and fell
against Jones. The latter assisted him Ia
Il neighbOring house. where it was dis
covered that Martin was shot i'll the leo,
the bullet having entered just below the
knee, ranged downward and lodged in
the calf of the leg.
DR.. T.. Il. Russell was summoned and
dressed the wound. The bullet has
not yet been extracted. There was in
the house when the disturbance began.
besides the Nance women, Il man named
Raby. All claim to have had no knowl-
edge of the shooting, until they heard
the report of the pistol.
A warrant was this evening sworn out
for Matt Nance, charging her with
secret assault. Martin is doing well and
will recover.

THE RESULT OF DOING NOTHING.

The Hartford Courant, Senator Ham
ley's paper, says of financial legislation
by this congress:
THE Republican leaders cannot af-
ford to sit idle and let this session Of
Congress close without action on the
money question:. 1t is as bad politics as
morals. Such a course will impcril the
fall elections; worse than that. it will
practically lose them. 1t takes no great
prophet to see that. If the country goes
wrong this fall, then nothi..S can be
done before the next general election,
and we shall APPROACH 1900, after four
years of opportunity, with nothing done.
The honest money advocates from out
side of the party will find that they were
used and then oft. And those inside
the party will be in the same position"
1t is practically certain that nothing
will be done and quite as certain thai
the Republicans will lose the fall cleo
tions. The Republicans have already
shown the gold Democrats that ''they
We're us, merely to get offices for the
Republicans and high tariff for the
