AN ACCIDENT TO THE
 BATTLESHlP IOWA.
Extent of the Damage Could Not Be Learned on Account of the Reti-
 csnee of the Officers.

New York, Sept. 1.-The Tribune says:
 An accident occurred on the battle ship Iowa Saturday in dry dock No. 3 at the Brooklyn navyyard, the extent of which could not be learned on ac-
 count of the retieence of the officers at the yard. It was reported that the en- zine rooms of the Iowa were partly flooded by the entrance of water through
 an open seacock as the ship was being fioated. AS near as could be learned from the stories afioat last night the officials got ready to float the Iowa III the dry dock where she has been for the last three or four days and the valves in the caission at the end of the dry dock through the valve, and at least one of the seacocks or injection valves in the Iowa's hull was either opened or inse- curely fastened, so that the force from the outside pushed the cock valve back
 and the water gushed into the hull of the vessel. AS soon as those on board the Iowa discovered that water was en- tering the ship signal was given to close the caisson valves, and this was done with as great promptness as possible Meanwhile there was 8
 sufficient quantity of water in the ! dock to enter the engine room
 of the battleship as it was impossible to promptly force the cocks shut while the
 water was going in. AS soon as possible
 the cocks were closed and an examina- tion made of the damage done. Just l what this amounts to will not be known
 until today. It was said that enough
 was let in the dry dock to come very
 near floating the ship and that she IS
 resting on her keel blocks the same as
 she was before the water was turned on.
 The pumping of the water out of the
 dock is matter of only a short time and 1 the officers seen would not admit that
 any accident had taken place.

but they were also denied the right to vote for the democratic nominee for state attorney general, the Hors Jefferson Davis, for his name was not printed on the ticket.
 The omission of Jeff. Davis name from the ticket has brought up an interesting discussion in political circles. Was his name left off by accident or design? People would readily accept the former explana. tion were it not for the fact that the political machine in this county has grievance against the Hon. Jeff. This grieyapce is due to the fact that the machine brought Jeff Davis here a few weeks ago to make a speech for Mccoy, but when the Attorney General-eleet mouh ed the platform he changed his determina- ton and the McCoyites failed to connect with a part of the State ticket. Since that time the ring sters, who have all the election machinery in their hands, have felt agrieved at the Hon. Jeff, and the failure of his name to get on the ticket may be due to that cause.
 Of course. it will be publicly ex. plained as an accident, and the blame for it may be laid on the ''poor printer, but in reality Jeff Davis and the world will never really know whether his name was left of the ticket by accident or design.

DECLARES THAT HIS
 MEN ARE CONFIRMED.
They Are Willing to ae,nain Until General Merritt Gets Back and All
 Arrangements Completed.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-Two patients in the division hospital have died since Sunday morning, Privates Oliver F. Mork, company D, Fifty-frst Iowa, of spinal meningitis, and Jacob E. Bert, company A, Twenty-third infantry, of typhoid fever
 Six patients have been taken to the hospital Of these two are suffering with malarial fever, two with measles and two with humps. Twenty patients have been dismissed to their quarters and one discharged as cured. There are now in the hospital 8l5 patients, s4 are out on furlough, and 9 are in other hos pitals and are beng cared for at pri- yate residences.
 Colonel Leopold of the Fifty first Iowa declares that his men are contented in the service and that they were willing to remain until General Merritt gets back, and 1t is settled whether they are to go to Honolulu. If the regiment is not to be sent away the colonel says he IS as anxious as any man 10 return home.
 Private Charles B. Anderson, company L, First Tennessee volunteers, has been acquitted by g courtmartial for an as- sault on Daniel Thomas, a negro who some men of the regiment recently threatened to lynch. Anderson was one of the two men with whom Thomas had a saloon row which led to the trouble.
 Private Harry H. Eleverson who was reported to the war department as hav- ing died on July 3l at the French hos pital has fully recovered his health. It appears that on the day he was taken to the hospital another soldier whose ident. ity is not known was also removed there. The unknown man died and his name was reported as Elverson.

SHAW IS GLAD.
He Says He Wants to Live as Long

Cleburne, Tex, Sept. $. John B. Shaw has this to say as to his lunacy trial set for next November:
 "Well, yes, I guess am glad to get to live that long. I did want the thing to be over, but you know man wants to live as long as he can. Say, somebody has printed book pretending to be 8 history of my life. Here is one of them, v and he pushed out through the bars Of his cell door little pamphlet with 2 very looking picture on the back.
 Now that is all bogus The only authentic history of my life is the one you had here the other day, and want to say now that any other is a forgery This is got up to beat me out of the sale of some of my books.
 ssSay, think I will do q little news paper writing soon. One day next week you come around and I'll probably have something to print that will De interest ing" and Shaw lay back on his bed, seemingly in deep study over what he had in mind to write.
