SHOOTING At SEA.


Necessarily the deck Of vessel at
sea offers much less satisfactory plat,
form from which to shoot than the
solid foundation provided in . land fort,
since even when the ocean is cafmest
the vessels must constantly roll from
side to side. Theoretically the best
time to fire would be at the moment be-
tween the rolls, when the deck of the
ship is perfectly level, and. in general
way it may be said that an attempt is
made to do the shooting at that in
stant It is practically impossible,
however, to fire invariably when the
decks are horizontal. No matter how
careful the gunner, the piece Il almost
always exploded just before or just
after the proper instant, says the New
York Press.
The American practics, both In the
army and navy. has always been to
shoot low and always save Ammunition
until 1t was possible to use it effective
ly. In the navy the tradition to shoot
low has crystalized into . standing rule.
unwritten, indeed, but none the less re-
ligiopsly observed, and its wisdom has
been proved on more than one occasion
OF great Importance.
The precise form Of this unwritten
naval rule is to "wait for the downward
ROLL" This is the converse Of the maxim
obtaining in the British navy that 1t is
best to take advantage Of the upward
ROLL" which has been observed almost
from the beginning Of naval fighting by
the gunners on English ships.
This was rendered the more certain
from the fact that the spherical projec-
tiles then in use would ricochet along

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in
this country. :Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven
years she withstood it's severest
tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed i'm
minent. For three months she
coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way
to recovery, by purchasing of US a
bottle of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that
she slept all night; and with two
bottles, has been absolutely cured .

A DiaboliCaI rIurder.

Joseph Miller an aged wood
chopper was found murdered in
his house, near North East, on last
Thursday. Miller lived alone and
had considerable money, The sup
position is that he was murdered
on Wednesday night while asleep
in bed, by being struck on the head
with a Ratchet which was found in
the room.
The discovery was made by two
little boys who called at his place
to try and sell some berries. They
stopped there in the morning on
Thursday, but finding the house
shut up supposed him to be asleep.
Calling again in the afternoon and
finding the house still shut they
thought something must be wrong.
An investigation of the premises
was made and the old man was
seen through the window lying on
the bed dead. His trunk was
broken open and rifled and a pocket
of his pants cut out, showing that
the murder had been committed
for the purpose of robbery.
George p. Hargraves was arrested
on Saturday afternoon and commit
ted to Jail, on circumstantial evil
dence which pointed strongly to
him as the party who had COM
mitted the crime,
Miller was industrious and saw
ing and recently received a back
pension amounting to considerable
sum. A bank book found in his
room showed that be had about
$500 in the National Bank of Elkton
and it is said that he also had about
5000 in PhoenixYille bank,

The War.

General Miles landed the first
detachment of his invading army
on Porto Rico soil on Tuesday
morning, to be followed by other
detachments of his army of 10000.
Spain, through the French Am.
bassador, has made the initial
move for peace, but Spain's pro
verbal slowness and would be
cunning is not likely to reach a
solid basis for peace until the
United States is in full possession
of Porto Rico, and the Philippine
islands are virtually in our posses
sion.
Commodore Watson's fleet is not
yet ready to; sail for the coast of
Spain, but the Spaniards are very
nervous over its apprehended ap-
pearance.
