THE MoRRoS LAST GUN.
Without Warning the Old Castle Opens
Fire on the Flagship San Francisco.


KEY WEST, FLA.-The flagship San
Francisco, the monitor Miantonomah
and the auxiliary yacht Sylvia were
fired upon by the Havana batteries
shortly before 5 O'Clock Friday morn
ing. One IA or Pinch shell struck
the San Francisco's stern as she turned
to get out of range and tore a hole
about foot in diameter, completely
wrecking Commodore Howell's quar-
tiers and smashing his book case to
fragments. Nobody was injured and
being under orders not to attack the
batteries the ships retreated as fast as
their engines would carry them. The
flagship and the Sylvia lay parallel to
each other not more than a mile from
Moro castle and separated from each
other by distance between three
eighths and one-quarter of mile.
The Miantonomah lay about three
quarters of mile to the rear of the
others. All were within range of the
Spanish batteries and the temptation
was too strong to be resisted.
The one-sided engagement had
scarcely ended when the men of the
Sylvia were treated to another surprise.
The little yacht gunboat which is
manned by the New York naval militia,
reached the blockading station only
| two weeks ago and this was her first
war experience. She had barely re-
covered from the Jingle of it when the
| flagship called the vessel over and
Captain Boilers was given packet of
private documents which he was or
| dered to take into Havana under a flag
of truce. Without wasting words the
white flag was ordered hoisted over
the Sylvia and she steamed toward the
guns which had just given her such
noisy greeting. Her men are very
proud of their first, and doubtless last,
war experience.

THE PIPE FACE. SMOKING uhe pipe
has perceptible effect upon the face.
The pressure of the lips to hold the
pipe in position increases the curvature
of the lips round the stem, and the mus
cles become more rigid here than in
other parts. Thus the lips at certain
point become stronger and the pipe is
unconscfously held in the same habit
ual position. After long continuation
of the habit small circular wrinkles
form parallel with the curvature of the
lips around the stem. These are crossed
by finer lines caused by the pressure
Of the lips to retain the pipe in position.
In the case of old men who have
smoked pipe for years the effect upon
the lips is very marked"

TWENTY LIVES LOST
In Cloudburst Near Rogersville, Tenn
Great Destruction of Property.

Great Destruction of Property.
A terrible cloudburst, in which at
least twenty lives are known to have
been lost, was Saturday visited upon
the community of Beach Creek, near
Rogersville, Tenn. The torrent OF
water fell in the vicinity of the home
of William Flgan, well-to- do farmer,
and his entire family-wife and five
children--was drowned and washed
away in the food. Figan, however,
escaped. The deluge of water carried
with it every human being within its
reach, and the only names of the lost
reported, in addition to the Figan
family, are John Arnold and Samuel
Henry and wife. The cloudburst de-
stroyed several thousand dollars worth
of property.

q. S. Hoaglin Turns Over All His stuff in
Butte and in Anaconda.

Yesterday afternoon G. s. Hoaglin
West Broadway known as the Boston
store. made an assignment to j. NJ
Hinckle, who is his attorney The estab-
lishment of which Mr.. Hoaglin was the
proprietor was the scene of the fire of
Sunday night, Jan. 16. The stock con-
sisted of general merchandise The
loss was as good as total; Mr. Hoaglin
claimed that an inventory taken Jan /
showed stock worth S2S. 900. The fire
was a suspicious affair and the author
tiles started on a searching investiga-
ton in the hope of discovering the
cause of it. That it was incendiary
seemed pretty certain.
Hoaglin says that the comment of
some of the Butte newspapers forced
him to make the assignment. The talk
OF these newspapers cast considera BILE
suspicion and. he says, what was pub
lfshed in Butte reached some of the
business houses in the East of which he
was customer and with which he had
credit. He says that the ugly stories
started in Butte raised "A suspicion with
these Eastern houses, that he realized
several attachments would be levied
that the attachment proceedings would
involve a very large expense and that,
in order to avoid this he concluded to
make an assignment without prefer
ences to his attorney.
This assignment covers the insurance
money and the stock of goods in the
Anaconda branch of the Boston store.

proposed to transfer at once to Butte

tions of the Public.
The period of so days during which
the offer of Mr.. Dogge was operative
wherein he gave an examination and a
months treatment for So, comes to a
close this evening, but owing to the
TACT that so many patients began treat
ment who have been partially cured
and may be entirely restored TO health
by little further treatment DIR. Dogge
has decided to extend the operation of
the offer to another 30 day period for
the reason that so many of those who
nave received treatment are unable to
stand the expense of ordinary medical
charges, and the requests that the time
be extended have been SO numerous
that DIR. Dogge has at last been induced
to continue the offer in full force and
erect as heretofore, for one more
month, Notwithstanding that the pur-
pose of the offer, that of introducing
DIR. Dogge and the modern methods he
has recently brought from Europe to
the Butte public, have been subserved
to most gratifying degree. DR.. Dogge
felt when pressed to continue the offer.
that he could afford the loss entailed
by so doing for the appreciation that
would be felt by his patients, and he
accordingly consented. DIR. Dogge will
remain at his present quarters, No As
West Park street, until Monday, and
will then be found at his private surgi-
cal hospital at Nos. 401 and 403 South
Montana street, instead of 525 and 527

AS certain as man can be about
voice. which is not as positive as If

fore not positively swear that Franey

WAS the next Witness and testified that
shortly after Moody had been arrested
and locked up Franey came down to the
Jail and talked to him. He told him
that he had seen Attorney Naughton
and they would have no trouble in
proving an alibi. At that lime Moody
had not been informed what he was
under arrest for.
DR.. Wells testified as tn the nature
of the two wounds found on Kroeger.
and said either one would have been
sufficient to cause death.

the Moody trial, that he lived few
doors from the scene of the murder,
and just before the shooting he saw
two men standing on the sidewalk. and
that in general appearance they re-
sembled Franey and Moody. John Hal
Ter also testified to seeing the men be-
fore the murder. At the conclusion of
his testimony court adjourned for the
day
