william w. Hicks, a well-known Ches-
terneld farmer, while driving home in his
two-horse wagon last evening. was struck
about 7:30 o'clock by the shifting engine
at the Belt-Line crossing" mile from
Manchester, and killed almost instantly.
One horse was also killed by the engine,
and the other so badly injured that II
will have to be killed.
The crossing Is just at tho top OF q 1T
tie hill. and It Is supposed the team took
fright, and, getting beyond the control OF
Mr.. Hicks. dashed In front OF the train
going south The unfortunate man, with
half of the vehicle. was caught on the
fender of the engine and carried 900 yards
before 1t could be stopped. When re-
moved by the train-men the body was
not at all mangled, and death appears to
have been caused by small confusion
behind the left ear.
Mr.. Hicks had purchased provisions and
a number OF articles for family use In
the city, and these with parts OF the
wagon, were scattered all along the line.
Mr. Hicks had been to Richmond to sell
a load OF wood, and was returning alone
to his home. which Is about seven miles
from Manchester, on the Broad-Rock
road He was a married man. and has
six children. He was a Woodworking and
honest citizen. His family have been
notified of the accident, but the body Is

The many friends and admirers Of Jesse
Tannehill here ara happy because or his
success so far this season. The clever
little Southpaw has been Pittsburgs win
ming pitcher since the season or 1888
started He expressed here at Christmas
with much confidence the opinion that
this season would be the best OF his lie,
and we'll mas his prediction been Verified.
Before the season started II was thought
that Tame" would not appear in the
box often, but would be used as an out
fielder on account OF his hitting ability,
and Manager Watkins almost said as
much, but Brodie showed up In good
form and Jesse was sent TO the rubber.
Much surprise has been expressed that
Watkins has not given Sam. Lever
show. The big fellow can certainly pitch,
and a mistake is being made In not using
him. Last winter he wrote friend here
that he would not sign with Pittsburg
unless he got his price, and II he got 1t
the Pirates will certainly use him later.
There Is some talk away from home
about the ability Of the Richmond Club.
Some writer's say the local team is a
great fielding aggregation. but will not
be able to get up in the pennant race be-
cause they cannot hit. Can't hit? Why,
the Richmond Club outhit ali corners when
the season opened up here. The boys hit
hard, too. and many Of the hits made
runs. They hit 30 per cent better than
the clubs they played, and even on this
trip, the first away from home. the boys
have done good stick work The hitting
is all right, so is the fielding and base
running, but there is room for vim. snap,
and ginger, and the sooner Captain Klopf
or somebody else gets the players TO
open their mouths the better. Manager
Wells, when he was playing, had a way
Of singing out to the boys to work, and
Harry Berte used TO throw life into the
game, but Hargrove and Leahy are the
only players contributing ginger just now.
Speaking about Richmond's pitchers, It
is the general opinion all over the cir
cult that Richmond has a very strong
corps of twirlerS. Chesbro is rated as
the best, and there are lots OF patrons
here who agree that Jack Is a fine one.
Umpire Brennan and Players Klopf and
Hess say that Frank Sparks is wonder,
and that as soon as he works the kinks"
out will make the stars shine UP. Otis
Stocksdale Is pitching better than he
ever did since he left the National
League, three years ago, and may come
around In the form ne did when Ned
Hanlon picked him for a winner. Henry
Schmidt has been doing great work, but
there has not been enough hot weather
to get him in good working shape. He
will pitch better than he has been doing
by July. Archie Stimmell, who is, in the
opinion of many, the best pitcher in the
league, has mastered his sickness. and
Is working in fine shape. With such
catchers as Hess and vigneaux the pitch
ers arc being well supported behind the
bat.

Little Gus Dundon has faithfully kept
every promise made for him. When he
was signed Manager Wells told tho pub
lie that the young player would be
worthy successor to Elberfeld. Reports
from the practice grounds at Charlotte
gave Gus a good showing, and from the
very start tho youngster, though suffer
ing from a very sore arm, commenced
his march to the hearts of the rooters,
and now he is there safely. Dundon Is
not as brilliant in his work as was Elber-
field. but he does just as difficult acts
with neatness. He covers as much ground
as Brownie ever did. goes around the
bases with more speed, and hits the ball
oftener and safer. He Is in the game all
the time, never quitting until play ends.
His voice Is not strong enough TO be
heard in the crowd, but the pitcher hears
him chirp out words of encouragement
from the opening Of the game until the
last man is out. 1t was said that Gus
would make the rooters miss Elberfeld
very little, and it is fact that he has
done so.

A BoTHERsOME LAW.

The people Of this city are now getting
their first sight of the operations OF law
passed by the last General Assembly, and
are not particularly fascinated by what
they have seen so far. The law, briefly
explained, provides that the property sold
by the tax-colleotor for the payment OF
delinquent taxes, and heretofore bought
in by the State, may be purchased by
any one else, provided this person gives
the taxpayer four months notice. Then,
not only does the delinquent taxpayer
have TO pay the original assessment on
his property-that is, buy his property in
but he has to pay also the purchaser a
bonus Of s. and per cent. on the amount
paid to satisfy the State, together with
all costs. The people in Chesterfield
county have already felt and the clti-
Zens of Manchester are already feeling
the effects of the law. A syndicate has
been formed In Roanoke, whish Is ope-
rating generally under this law. One OF
its representatives has given notice to 1S7
delinquent taxpayers in Chesterfield that
his company will purchase their property
for the State. This representative is
Mr.. G. T. Beaman. He has completed
his work IN Chesterfield and spent yester-
day examining the delinquent tax-books
in the Hastings Court of this city. 1t Is
said 100 applications for purchase Of pro-
perty will be filed in Manchester

PROTECTION FOR THE
COAST LINE OF MAINE.
Mounting of Guns in Portland Har-
Dor the Result Of Recent
Ordarc

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-An Augusta
(Me.) special to the Herald says: 1t
is no doubt true that the Government
is taking extra precautions to see that
the coast line of Maine can be speed
lily protected, but not much that is Of
fetal can be learned from any of the
authorities. The resuming of work in
the mounting of guns in Portland Har-
Dor is not the carrying out of any old
plan, as has been alleged, but is the
result of recent orders.
The National Guard of the State will
be kept in as good condition as posi-
BILE, and if any call for troops is made
the Governor will at once offer the
guard service. Members of the Ma
tional Guard of the State cannot be
compelled to do duty outside the State.
and at once it will be ascertained how
many of the guards will be willing to
enter the service of the United States.
By many it is taken as significant that
the surgeon general has been ordered
to see that stores for his department
are at once purchased, so as to be in
readiness at a moments. notice.
One officer high in authority tells the
Herald correspondent that it is a fact
that all the United States troops are
being put into shape to be moved in
stantly if required for service at any
particular point.

passed by the committee simply per~
nits the enlistment of 800 more boys
where the navy desires men. 1t is
hoped by the officials that in the con-
sideration of this matter the commit
tee will authorize the enlistment of a
couple of thousand men and that when
the increase feature is passed upon
provision for the construction of at
least two battle-ships will be made.
1t was officially admitted to-day at
the department that the cruiser Gin
cinnati and the gunboat Castine COM
prising the South Atlantic squadron,
had gone to Barbados. The date of
the departure of these ships from
Para was February Is, so that they
should be near their destination by
this time. The Annapolis has gone to
Laguayra, where the Wilmington is
anchored, and the Brooklyn is en- route
to Laguayra, having left st. Thomas
for Santa Cruz.
The Navy Department is in receipt
of applications from retired officers
and officers on the active list on shore
duty asking for assignment to ships.
The department has also received ca
Diagrams from officers abroad asking
if there is any need for their services
in the United States.

VULTURES FEAST UPON
BODIES OF THE DEAD.

HAVANA, Feb. pa large quantity
of clothing has been taken from the
wreck, and, after it has been disinfect-
ed, it will be given to the reconcentra-
dos. The bodies of the missing officers,
Lieutenant Jenkins and Assistant En-
gineer Merritt, have not been recov-
cred. The divers reached the formers
room. but it was found that his body
was not there. -a.sesss4st
Thus far the sharks have given no
trouble, but the vultures have left
scarcely anything but the skeletons of
three men who were entangled in de-
bris very near the surface of the water.
The bodies were not noticed by any one
until the foul birds had completed theifk
CHASTITY work. From the hand of one
Chaplain Chadwick removed a deeply
chased gold ring for purposes of identi-
fication.
Chaplain Chadwick says that the to-
tai number of missing is So or Sc, and
five have died in the hospital OF the
missing many doubtless were blown to
atoms, no portions of their bodies being
recoverable, and there exists much
doubt that any considerable number of
those whose remains are now being re-
moved will be identified.

Columbian Iron Works
Has Completed the
Plunger.
Submarine Torpedo-Boat Now
Ready for It's Speed
Trial.
The Mckee, Also Battle-Ship
Destroyer, Will Be Launched
in Two Weeks.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Feb. pa Baltimore
special to the Herald says: Work on
number of Government vessels is
being completed at the Columbian Iron
Works, where 500 to 600 men are
kept busy. The submarine torpedo boat
Plunger has been completed and turned
over to the engineers of the John P.
Holland Company for steam trials, and
the torpedo-boat Mckee will be
launched in about two weeks. Work is
progressing rapidly on the new triple
expansion engine for the torpedo boat
Rodgers, which is to take the place of
the one recently injured by the break
ing Of her crankshaft. The lengthen-
ing of the Holly, side-wheeler, for the
Government lighthouse service is also
under way.
In the event of an emergency requir-
ing the rapid construction of vessels,
the Columbian Iron Works can hold it's
own with any plant of it's size in the
country. Being asked as to the full ca
pacity of the plant, the superintendent
said:
Il believe we have room at the works
for the construction at the same time
of three battleQships and at least three
smaller vessels. This would demand
a working force of from 1000 to 1900
men, which we could readily supply.
How soon a ship ordered at the out
break of hostilities could be completed
it would be difficult to say. Ordinarily
we are delayed by the failure of the
material to measure up to the specifica-
tons demanded by the Government.
The slightest flaw in metal renders it
unserviceable. Where speed is required,
machinery might be constructed con-
currently at some of the shops in the
interior and shipped to the yard where
the shell lay. In the case of the Maine,
if 1 remember correctly, this was done,
certain portions of the ship being built
by the Richmond Iron Company.
II should say, however, that it would
be necessary in almost any circum-
stances to allow year and a half for
completing battle-ship. Smaller
cruisers could be turned out in much
less time. When we built the cruisers
Detroit and Montgomery we were at it
for two years, and had force varying
from 800 to 900. OF course, we could
have taken less time had necessity de-
ma ndpd If ~
