FOURTH DISTRICT.

The time grows ripe for the Demo-
Gratis of the Fourth Congressional dis
trict to name their standard bearer for
the victory that certainly awaits them
at the end of the coming campaign.
1t is no purpose of mine to disparage
or discourage any one seeking this hon
orable place and position, but my aim is
to impress upon the minds of my fell
low Democrats the Importance Of select
ing a gentleman of singular ability, and
of much knowledge, not only of the
things pertaining to the whole people,
but of the ways, means and methods
conducting an aggressive campaign.
One who has fought them face to face
not for himself, but for his party's
choice. Such one is Hon. Holly G..
Armstrong, of Jackson county.
Mr.. Armstrong has never failed to
answer his partys' call, even though he
must sacrifice personal interests to
obey. He had always stood firm and
Fressive; has led his party through
py hard fought battles and always
the sake of the principles of his
y. Though he has few times

always acceded to the desire OF a

THE DIFFERENCE
Between the Rich ard the Poor in
Courts of Justice.


At the recent term Of our Circuit
Court two parties charged as criminals
stood before the bar of justice. One
charged with forging thousands OF
dollars came into the court room sur
rounded by friends lending their aid
and prayers to allay her troubles ID
this hour of her great tribulation. The
best legal talent that could be OBJ
tanned were there to rescue her from
The merciless clutches of stern law,
and save her from a gloomy abode be-
hind prison bars. In the same room
stood a young man, a boy, III Iacl, us-
formed by deadly cancerous CROWN
on his neck, and the drawn INES Oh
his face showing the many reVefses
he had met in fighting life's cruel bat
Ties. charged with forging fifteen pal
try dollars. No Christian woman OF
man was there to whisper TO MIN
kind word of encourage cement, or 10
lessen the great pain that was bursting
his poor heart. No learned legal talent
was there to fight his battles IN this
stern court of justice. With his only
friend. his mother, dead, discarded by
a reckless father, Wick Sipss pleaded
guilty, and was sentenced to the penl-
fenriary. In passing sentence the
Judge spoke kindly to the young man,
giving him good advice, perhaps the
first kind words he had heard for years.
and now he has gone to his prison
home. where in all probability, on ac-
count of deformity, he will never feel
the sunshine again. Thus again IS
shown the difference between stations
in life-the rich and the poor-in TINS
great world of ours.-Gilmer Item.

REDS DEATH DAY.
Andrew Henry's Father
Hears Sentence Passed
on the Murderer.
FAKE INSANITY DROPPED
Still Counsel Insist They Will
Take a Writ Of Error
Verdict Approved.

Unless something i~ntervenes, William
Reid will, on Thursday, September To-
pay the death penalty for the cold-blood-
ed murder Of Andrew Henry, In Hoboken,
on May IA.
The murderer was sentenced this morn
ing by Justice Lippincott, Judge Blair Sit
ting with him on the bench.
Reid was brought over from the County
Jail by Under Sheriff Heayey and Deputy
Sheriff Hague. AS he is looked upon as
a desperate man, who would take a long
chance to escape, Under Sheriff Heavey
took the ~precaution to handcuff him to
himself. The Court was sitting in the
rear room as the front room Is being rem
ovated. There were not man spectators,
but conspicuous among them was Andrew
Henry. the murdered mans broken heart
ed father.
Reid made no effort whatever TO keep
up his feigned insanity. He looked nerv-
Gus and frightened. but he had discarded
that stolid look and dull stare which he
maintained throughout the trial. HIS
counsel. former Judge Hoffman and MI.
st. Lawrence, of Paterson. were in at
tendance. and greeted the murderer when
he was brought in. Reid was ordered to
stand up. and Justice Lippincott said:-
This is the day fixed by the Court
for imposing sentence on you and the
Prosecutor has moved for judgment.
Have you anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced now, II so, the
Court win hear your
II nave nothing TO say just now" re-
piled the prisoner, in a clear voice, and
without any of the hesitation in his
speech which characterized his examina-
ton at the trial.
1.-The Court takes occasion to say to
you. continued Justice Lippincott, that
the Jury which tried you was fair, impair
tiai and as intelligent as could have been
selected. Your counsel defended you with
indispensable ability. The Court knows
of no facts in your case in your favor
that counsel failed to lay before the jury.
The Court desires to say that the verdict
was entirely satisfactory. There was only
one verdict that the jury could have pre-
scented from the evidence in the case, and
that was the verdict that was found. 1t
now remains part of the duty of this
Court to sentence you, therefore
it is ordered and adJudged that
the Sheriff of this county take you
William Reid from the bar of this court
to the jail of this county, whence you
came, there to remain and be kept by
the Sheriff in close custody and confine-
ment until Thursday, the fifteenth day of
September, 1898, on which day, between
the hours of ten in the forenoon n three
in the afternoon, you will be taken by the
Sheriff of his county to the place OF
execution, provided by the said Sheriff
according to law, and then and there be
hanged by the neck Until dead"
Reid. pale and trembling, was then
escorted back to the jail by Under Sheriff
Heavey and Deputy Sheriff Hague. His
counsel express an intention of taking the
case up on a writ of error and one of the
points is that testimony as to Reds repu-
tation for insanity was excluded.

WhE1h We
patched up by American engineers so that
they will be almost as good as new. The
big guns will need remounting in many
cases, but this will be q matter OF very lit
tie trouble.
Perhaps some of the ships which Dewey
sunk In Manila harbor may also be saved.
Commodore Philip Hichborn, chief con-
structor of the nayy, seems to think SO.
IL Commodore Hichborn says this can
be done, it is a foregone conclusion that it
is possible, for the chief constructor OF the
navy is q man who speaks with the conf
dence born of a thorough practical &C
~quaintance with the work before him. s
The methods of raising sunken ships
must vary largely according to existing
circumstances but they MAJ be said
broadly to depe7,d upon three factors
first, the depth of water; second, the size
and weight of the ship, and, third, the ma
ture and extent of the injuries by which
the ship was sunk.
Several methods might be employed for
raising vessels. The first operation, in
any case, would he to send down divers to
make an examination and report their
condition. In casa the injuries should not
be extensive, scoyys would be moored on
e0Cn Sluo "a Ui1G tfICCh DO IL AtDs7 NAta 80
ing apparatus of sufficient power to raise
the immersed weight. The injuries to the
exterior Of the hull could then be tempo
rarily closed by the divers and chains passed
around under the vessel. She could then
be raised until the top of the hatch coam-
ings was above water, and the vessel
pumped out.
Another method more likely to be used
$4,000 20 ov<on1iro ipi1rru world ha tn
sink pontoons or casks, provided with
means for attachment to the hull Of the
sunken craft. A sufficient volume of these
must be provided and judiciously located
to supply sufficient buoyancy to float the
vessel to the surface or as nearly as posi-
BILE on an even keel. The wreck can then
be towcd into shallow water and opera
tions for completing the salvage carried
on to greater advantage.
Some Of the smaller ships of the Manila
fleet it would hardly pay to raise, as, for
instance, the Marquise del Duero, q small
iron gunboat of 800 tons displacement
and 90 years old.
This problem of saving the sunken ships
of the enemy comes directly before COM
modore Hichborn. 1t is needless to say
that just now he is a very busy man. He
is peculiarly fitted for tho work because of
his many years of practical experience.
Commodore Hichborn is a native OF
Charlestown, Mass, and is SO years old.
Perhaps it was his frequent visits to the
Charlostown navy yard which influenced
| him in deciding what his life work should
be. At any rate, he began to prepare him
self for the navy early in life. After being
graduated from the Boston High school ne
took q special course in ship construction
supplementary TO five years tuition as
shipwright's apprentice in the navy yard.
Then he went to San Francisco, and after
two years Of service at the Marc Island
| navy yard he was made master shipwright
at the g Of 90. Since then his progress
has been rapid, and II the Spanish wrecks
are to fly our flag he is the man who can
put them in shape to do it.

SAVING THE WRECKS.
HOW UNCLE SAM WILL UNDO THE
WORK or scHLEY'S GUNS.
Perhaps Three Of Cervera's Finest War
ships Will Yet Fly the American Flag.
Methods of Raising sunken ~ships-Chief
Constructor Hichborn's Plans.

If West Indian hurricanes do not inter
ferc, Yankee ingenuity and skill will yet
save at least a part Of the fino squadron
with which Admiral Cervera sailed u OF
Santiago harbor on Sunday, July 3.
A big force Of American mechanics,
divers and ship repairers have been at
work on the wrecks for nearly three weeks.
They have plugged up the holes which the
guns Of Schlcy's ships punched in the sides
Of the fleeing enemy, they have pumped
ont the water which the vengeful and de-
spairing Spaniards let in after all hope
was lost. they have undone much of the
mischief caused by bursting shells and ex-
ploding torpedoes and they are confidently
looking forward to the time when at least
three of Ceryera's battered battleships
shall sail into an American port flying the
American colors.
With the energy and industry or SO
many beavers the wrecking crews are
working on the denied, heat blistered
hulks. Not having an equipment suitable
for the enterprise, the government IN
trusted the work to the Merritt Wreck1ng
company. This is the same concern which
was engaged in stripping the wreck OF the
Maine in Havana harbor.
The wrecking company is under n
tract to receive $500 a day as long as the
work continues, but it is to be stopped at
any time the government inspectors think
best. AS an incentive to expeditions work
q large bonus will be given for every one
of the wrecks which can be raised, patched
D and delivered to the government sale IN
Norfolk harbor. AS a tornado might at
any time spoil all chances of saving the
