MORE PRIZES AT KEY WEST.
Schooner Three BELLS and SloOp Pill
grim Brought in.

Key West July 1S.-The schooner Three
Bells and the sloop Pilgrim, captured by
the gunboat Dixie near Manzanillo on July
6, arrived here to-day under prize crews
consisting of Lieut.. S. NJ. Blount and
Gunners Mate J. E. Hatton, with ,our
marines each.
Marryatt never imagined a more gro
tesque tale of marine misadventure than
was experienced by those men in bringing
their spoils to port
Both prizes were under the British nag
bound from Kingston, jamaica for Man
zanillo with food supplies. on the Three
Bells was Capt. f. j: Harding, an English
man. and a crew of five, and three ia
maica negroes. The Pilgrim carried a
Dutch captain and four seamen of the
same class. Capt. Harding was much Ge-

FIRE PROOF wOOD IN wARsHIPs
VIII BE a Feature in Future Naval
Construction.

VIII BE n Feature in Future Naval
Construction.
Washington, July 1S.-The complaint of
the Spanish that our ships must have used
some deadly and unwarranted explosives
On their attacks upon the fleets at santi-
ago and Manila and the reported COM
ments in the same strain of some of the
newspapers which are supposed to reflect
the sentiments Of other European govern
ments, are laughed at by the officials of
our navy; but there is one feature of the
discussion that has resulted from these
protests in which the men in charge of
naval construction are deeply interested.
Ever since Manila the officials have been
investigating with greater interest than
ever before the problem of interior con-
struction and The necessity of removing
the possibilities of internal fires. 1t is
moi a new problem by any means but,
like many others, it has required an emer-
gency to impress its fun Importance upon
the authorities.
Monujo and Cervera have demonstrated
to the naval constructionists of the world
that the greatest danger in naval warfare
lies in the destruction by fire that follows
from well placed explosive shells, and how
to minimize this danger is one of the
problems of the future. A number OF
plans have been suggested, a large num-
Der of inventors have been found VINO are
willing to submit ideas 10 the government;
but It has been decided by the construc-
ton officers that of all of these, the only
one now feasible is the use of wood
charged with fire-proohng paint.
As little wood as possible will be used
in construction in the future but some is
necessary, and that which is used will be
fire-prOof.
Fire-proof wood seems an anomaly, but
IT is an accomplished fact A good deal
of il is in use in our navy now, and
recent orders by Secretary Long indicate
that much more is to be used in the fu-
ture. The interesting experiments made
with this at the South,s great exposi-
ton at Atlanta win be recalled by the
many people who were astounded by the
inability of the liremen to set fire to the
little building on the exposition grounds
though the blaze in and around the build
ing was sufficiently intense to destroy most
OF the so-called fre-proof buildings of the
city, which have no wood at all in them
1t is this same wood which is being used
In our navy and in several other navies
OF the world. Ex-Secretary Herbert, un-
der whose direction many of the excel
lent ships we now have, were builded. is
a firm believer in the new system, and
many of those who doubted the necessity
for such provision before the recent great
naval battles have been converted. The
process IS costly but the great value Of
the fire-proofed wood inside a battleshp
or cruiser, preventing as it would the fir
ing of the ships, is recognized and in all
future ships it will be used.

The advantage enjoyed by Indiana of
cheap natural gas as fuel for manufacto-

geologist says. The residents have been
lavish with natures bounty. They not
only waste the oil in their furnaces CRATES

which have been bored for oil. Last years
production of oil In the states gas terri
tory was $1,000 barrels less than in the
preceding year. This is one indication that
the end of the natural gas supply is rap
IDLY approaching, and there are other
signs. Originally, the gas territory en-
braced 5000 square miles. To-day il is
less than 1900 miles. The average rock
pressure az the beginning was S25 pounds
to the square inch now it Is 200 pounds or
less. During 1897 the pressure in the heart
of the Indiana gas field declined thirty
pounds per square inch. The geologist es-
Inmates that at the present rate of con-

A Mining Fraud.

The newly found Klondike in the
western hills of Obion county has been
brought to an abrupt close by the arrest
of one c. G. Moore, alias Charles T.
Aycock, of Boone county, Ark. The
fact, or at least what was thought to
be facts, concerning the finding of
gold in that county has been heralded
to the world through the news
papers, and the public is acquainted
with the facts, as great deal of in
terest was manifested by the best citi-
zens of that portion of the county and
a great deal of money expended to de-
velop the supposed gold fields. How
ever, last week Aycock was arrested by
Deputy E. S. Tatom on Reelfoot lake
on charge of forgery and embezzle-
ment When arrested he was playing
the role of an expert miner and he had
worked up quite a friendship with
many of that locality, on account of his
good behavior. Aycock was member
of the Odd Fellows and Masonic orders,
and this fact being established and his
four months residence there entitled
him to the respect he had received.
Soon after his arrival he and few
friends began to get options on large
tracts of lands, and then gold finds
would follow, he always receiving half
the advance in the land, and thus
number of good men were scooped for
a neat sum of money. But the charges
upon which Aycock was arrested were
preferred against him by the State of
Arkansas, and he had evaded the officers
quite awhile before he was finally To-
Gated. Aycoek had been the treasurer
of Boone county, Ark, and had en-
bezzled So, 200 of it's school money and
had robbed his bondsmen, who was his
father-in-law, of $4,000. However, be-
fore these facts developed Aycock
skipped the country and was not heard
of until his arrest was made. The gov
ernor of Arkansas offered reward of
$3.50 for the prisoner. When arrested
he had on his person $40.

PITTsBURG, Kan, Jan. 9.-The bodies
of John Posing, Charles Winters and
Antoine Vein berger, the miners whom
it was last night thought were alive IN
the Mount Carmel Coal Co.'s mine,
were brought up at hoon. Neither
Weinberger nor Winters showed signs
of having suffered any violence,
and it is believed that they were
smothered to death. Posing was
horribly burned, and was almost
unrecognizable. James Zimmerman,
who was last night reported as among
the rescued, was the last man taken
out to-day. Although badly burned
he will recover. Posing was 30 years

Vein berger was single. The bodies
were removed to the company's store.
