Death of Well Known Presbyterian
 Minister

Death of Well Known Presbyterian
 Minister.
 Word has been received in Bridgeport of the death of Rev, William Swan, a well known Presbyterian minister, who has many friends and relatives in that city, He died at the parsonage of the Presbyterian church in Snow Hill, Md, after short Illness The following ac- count of hls death and burial and a brief history of his life is from the Bal timore Americans:
 "The funeral of Rev. William Swan, who died at the Presbyterian parson- age, after three days illness with cry slpelas in the face and head, took place here this afternoon at three o'clock, and was one of the largest ever witnessed In Snow Hill, there being many present from Pocomoke City and neighboring towns. NIT. Swan came to Snow Hill in January, 1884, having accepted a call from the congregation of Mckenzie Me- morial Presbyterian church, and had filled the pulpit of that church since.
 MT. Swan was born in Bridgeport Conn.,, in 1S41, and was the son of a Presbyterian minister Rev. Benjamin l..

ANXIOUS TO COME HOME.

Connecticut Tars Disguised With Life
 on the Receiving Ship Minnesota.
 Following is a private letter from a member of the Connecticut Naval Re- serves who has served nearly three months in the United States navy on the receiving ship Minnesota:
 United States Ship Minnesota,
 Boston, Mass, Aug. Is, 1898.
 Dear --: We are having a fierce time aboard the old Minnesota now. There are only eighty Connecticut men left, and we constitute the entire crew and are doing far more work than was done when we had a crew of 200 We have not had particle of drill for near ly two weeks, and 1t looks as if we wouldn't have any more. Instead of that we spend all our time cleaning ship and we work harder and with longer hours than any day laborer and for less pay. We feel that we are be- ting thoroughly disgusted with our present mode of existence.
 The Minensota besides being an aux Hilary receiving ship, is the regular training ship of the Massachusetts Naval Reserve, and our commanding officer is the commander of that re- serve, and he is using us to get his ship thoroughly cleaned up for the Massa- chusetts boys. I'll bet the old ship hasn't had such an overhauling in a dozen years as she is getting now. It is fine thing for Massachusetts, but it is pretty rough on Connecticut. About the only time that we have to ourselves is in the evening, for we turn our at 53O and go to work at once and keep it up until 6:30, stopping only a little while for meals; and it is hard work
 too, dragging around heavy chains and cleaning out stuffy holds down below the water line. We are all getting thoroughly disgusted and hope that this life won't last much longer. Men of the auxiliary naval force are being dis charged every day, but our discharges are being hung up somewhere. The boys think that it is for no other req son than we can put Massachusetts, training ship in first class condition for her. We feel that we are not serving our country now, only a sister state. Instead of being tied up at a wharf | in the navy yard, we are anchored about 200 yards from shore, near the | old Constitution. We do not get any | more papers, and the only thing that | Keeps us in touch with the rest of the | world is the daily mail. The food, which at first was excellent, has been growing steadily worse, until now the | less aid about it the better. Getting a | dlscharge seems to be largely matter or influence, and as peace has come we wish that some one would exert little influence in our behalf.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
INJUNCTION AGAINST CAPT. HULL MADE FINAL BYJUDGE TH.4YER.

Assignment of Cases for the August Term of the United States District Court-Probate Court News Matters -- Judge DOvv's Grist in the City Court.
 Judge Thayer ordered a modification of the injunction granted by Judge Wheeler against Captain Nathan Hull and the Derby Transportation com pany, at the instance of the town of Or ange.
 The injunction was granted last month and arose from the trouble and expense created by the fact that boats of the defendants became lodged be- meath the bridge, and with the incom- ing tide the pressure was sufficient to raise the bridge to it's damage and in terfere with public travel. The injunc- tion restrained the parties from send- ing under the bridge any boat which would not give one foot clear space be- tween the highest part of the boat and the lowest part of the bridge.
 In his modification, which was made yesterday by agreement of counsel of both sides, Judge Thayer reduces this clearance from one foot to six inches providing that before undertaking to send boat beneath the bridge the de- fendants shall give six hours notice, in order that the safety of the public may be assured and that there may be op- portunity for the collection of evidence in the case should there be carelessness on the part of the defendants.

A BROKEN FORK.
The Rea' Reason why Colonel Cortejo Re-

| FUSED To Eat.
The true story of Colonel Vincente
de Cortejo's determination to starve
himself has recently come to light and
reveals the real motive which actuated
the distinguished prisoner at Fort Nc.
Pherson i'll refusing his food.
When Colonel Cortejo arrived at Fort
Mcpherson, he felt greatly Inundated
at being searched like an ordinary
criminal and at having all Of his mon
ey taken from him. He complained bit
terly TO the officers who directed the
search and gave every evidence of the
modification which he felt. But Colo
mel Oortejo is a soldier who has been
trained to bear up under whatever re-
verses might befall him. and he would
not have allowed even so great an in
suit as he felt the search to be to keep
nm from satisfying the inner man.
Nevertheless when the officer was es-
corted with his comrades to the regi.
mental moss hall he refrained from eat
ing, and the report at once went out
over the length and breadth of the land
that Cortejo had determined to die by
starvation.
When pressed by one Of the United
States officers to tell why he would not
eat the colonel of, Spain replied in
french: You seek every means TO NOR.
