went to bed and slept eight hours, after
which he got up and had a breakfast con-

BATTLE SHIP LAID UP.
The Massachusetts stove In for Fifty
Feet Along the Bottom.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Times will say
yesterday the full extent of the injuries re-
ceived by the battle ship Massachusetts,
which struck reef or sunken obstruction
near Diamond reef off Castle William
Governors island, on Saturday while on her
way from the navy yard to the naval an
choIage off Tompkinsvile, Staten island. 1t
vas found, however, that the damage
wrought was considerably greater than was
at first suspected, and it is believed fully
ninety days will be required to put the vessel
in condition to go 10 sea, even if she be not
vitality hurt. The big vessel now lies at the
old coal dock at the navy yard and the crew
was kept busy throughout Sunday discharg
ing the ammunition preparatory to putting
her into the dry dock. If it is found that
she can be floated with safety with the
hasty repairs that have been made to her
she will probably go into dry dock No on
men, supervised by Naval Constructor Hills,
and assisted by a portion of the ships crew,
worked all night Sunday examining the in
terror of the vessels hull and putting her in
was sent down Sunday morning, but the
keel being buried in the soft mud at the
bottom, prevented thorough examination.
Unusual reticence was observed by Captain
Ludlow and the officers of the MaSsachu-
Sets as well as by Admiral Bunce, the COM
mandant of the yard, and Chief Naval Con-
Structor BOWleS 1t was learned, however,
from several members of the crew that in
crashing upon the reef or sunken obstruction
in the harbor the big vessel had her hull
plates on the port side smashed in for a
distance of at least fifty feet, and havoc
was wrought in her interior.

reach several hundred thousand dollars: the

at Hobart street and Central avenue burst
at o'clock in the morning. This main is
four feet in diameter, and when the pressure
became too great the water shot up eight
feet in the air, tearing a hole in the pipe
itself seven feet long and a half of it's cir
cumference. For the first hour 15O0 900 gal
Ions, it is estimated, rushed through the

three hours. The flood came so suddenly
that several persons were caught and three
were rescued by life lines Every house in
the twenty blocks was flooded, and a num-
Der of them so badly damaged that they will
fall if they are not pulled down. Hundreds

was sentenced to death on the charge of
numbering Miss Jane Yates, of Liverpool a
girl of good family, by conspiring with her
to procure an Illegal operation which re-
suited in her death, has been repleVed
The evidence in the case tended to show
that the girl was solely responsible. She
made Il statement before she died exoner-
ating Wark, who, after the jury had re-
turned a verdict of guilty, protested his
innocence in open court. Wark who is an
Irishman, is forty-six years old, and mar
ried. He enlisted as a private about thirty
years ago, and rendered distinguished service
IN the Afghan war. He met Miss Yates
while he was stationed at Liverpool She
was pupil in riding school there The
witnesses for the defense showed that Wark
tried to persuade her not to undergo the
operation, but, on her insisting he promised
to stand by her. The scene in which ne
protested his innocence was highly dra-
matte, and was followed by an extraordinary
demonstration against the trial Judge when
the latter left the courtroom. The news
papers took the matter up, declaring that
even if the verdict were legal it would be
an outrage to carry out the sentence, as

Earlham,. Football Rank.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. 1.-THE opinion
of A. p Jamison, coach of the Purdue foot
bah team, with regard to all-Indiana
team for 1898, does not meet the approval of
the football contingent at Earlham College.
1t is believed there that Jamison should
not have attempted to name such a team
without having seen all the college teams
of the State play. and that he did do so is a
rank injustice. Earlham is entirely ignored
in the all-Indana team, a fact which the
students believe is entirely unwarranted.

men for the Indiana team and is modest
in not claiming more. Merrtwether. fun

CHICAGO. Dec 11.-Central Music Hall
was this afternoon filled with citizens of

sion of the franchises of Chicago's street
car lines TO fifty years. Early in the meet
ing the speakers dwelt mainly on the ques-
ton of compensation for extension of street.

ton of municipal ownership was extensive
ly touched on and received generous APP
plause Franklin Fl. Head presided and the
speakers were Mayor Harrison, former
Governor John P. Altgeld, George Z. Cole
John Maynard Harlan and Rev. Father
Thomas p. Hudnett.
Ex-Governor Altgeld was first to advert to
the subject of municipal ownership and his
remarks aroused the greatest enthusiasm of
the meeting. Referring to the alleged use of
money in the City Council Mr.. Altgeld said:
How can we stop this thing?'
Hang them; get rope; hang the bood-
lers,' responded the audience.
The resolutions, which were prepared in
advance, were found inadequate to the sem
tfment of the meeting and a resolution was
included favoring municipal ownership Of
the street-car lines, if not this year, then
when the present grants expire in 1903. The
most significant portions of the resolutions
adopted were as follows:
Resolved, That, inasmuch as the begin
ming and end of all present corruption in
the City Council are the traction compa-
mics, the directors and stockholders of those
companies should not be permitted to es-
cape the odium now directed against venal
public servants, but that they be exposed
to condemnation as criminals and Anarch
ists in that they are organizing corruption
and plotting against the peace and prosper
ity of Chicago, and inviting consequences as
disastrous to this community as any out
RACES ever devised by the sworn enemies
of society; and
Resolved, That the citizenship OF Chicago
stands strong at the back of our mayor in
his brave fight for the peoples rights. That
it is the sense Of this meeting that the
time for municipal ownership, If not right
now, may be by the time the present fran
chises shall expire
