PUTTING OUR SHIPS IN TRIM.
Night Work Has Been Resumed at the
 Norfolk Nevy Yard

Norfc,k, Va, NcT. 19.-Twenty thousand 6-Pound sheels were shipped to the Mare Island navy yard today Three freight cars will be required to convey the ammunition across the continent. Orders have been received at ths yard to work night and day on the gunboat Prince ton in order that she may soon join the squadron which is to assemble in Hampton Roads, of which the cruiser New York is the flagship.
 The order also stated that work must be pushed on ths. monitors Puri- tan and Terror so that they will be available for service or. short notice.
 Naval men say the activity, indicated by the shipment of ammunition from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the ordering Of night work for the first time since the auxiliary fleet was equipped for service at the beginning of bostilities, is significant The am- munition shipL-d to Mare island is, in all probabilities, going o Manila, for the American squadron has shot away must of it's rapid-fire ammunition.
 New York, Nov. 18.-Instructions have been given by Secretary Long to the officials of he navy yard at Brook lyn prohibiting them from commencing any work on the arnCrclads in North Atlantic waters. Only repairs on them are to be completed. It is expected that within ten days Commodore Philip will have under his command an effective force consisting of the battleships and armored cruisers now in commission except the Iowa and Oregon, which are now at Rio Ja- neiro. These two vessels will be kept along the Brazilian coast for another ten days at least and by that time the authorities say that the policy of Spain with respect to the negotiations will have finally developed.
 The armored cruisers New York and ars in splendid condition; ,he battleship Massachusetts will have completed her repairs during the pres ent week and all construction work on the Indiana will also be completed within that tins. So far as the Texas Is concerned, naval officers say that a short time only will be necessary to repair her propeller.
 Just as soon as all of the armorclads are ready they will proceed to Hamp- ton Roads, where the will find the New York awaiting them. Here the vessels will remain pending such ac- ton as may be necessary as a result of information received from Paris

Honor System in the Lower Grades.
Prin. Traphagen, of the Emerson school,
in this city, has hit upon way Of putting
pupils in the various grades in that school
upon honor In an attempt to secure the
discipline desired which so far seems to have
almost remarkable success. The system,
which was begun some six weeks ago In an
attempt to decrease the amount of tardiness
and improve the order in the building, has
not been fully worked out yet, but enough
ifed success in this instance. In brief, it
consists in a scheme by which each grade is
given a credit mark il during week it has
no cases of hardness, another If there are
no occasions for speaking to pupil in the
halls, another for the grade having the least
number of hall. day absences, etc., while
the most difficult thing of all to check and
the one in which the result has been most
remarkable, Is In the manner of leaving the
room during school hours. In a room of
fifty, if each left the room but twice a week
on an average, 1t would make one hundred
such cases, aud this, multiplied by the num-
Der of rooms in a,building, would be some
thing of nuisance at the rate of twenty
per day for each room. So Well has the
plan worked that cases of leaving the room
have been cut down from somewhere neal
the above figures to none In number of the
grades for the past two or three weeks,
and yet there is not the slightest compusion
exercised by teachers upon pupils, who are
perfectly free to leave the room at any time
This has been the most striking result, but
In the various other opportunities for gettine
credit marks, good lessons, good behavior
prOvement has been quite remarkable. The
room getting the largest number of credits
during a week is given the distinction oi
being the banner grade for the next week
The secret may be said to consist in the
talks which the principal gives the different
grades, encouraging them to friendly
rivalry with the others, which is assisted By
the fact that different grades are continually
getting the prize, which keeps all spurret
up to the best. In addition. the grade which
has the largest number cf credits to 1T
account for the year or half year, Is to hav'
half holiday under the personal super
vision of the teacher or principal. Tn,
scheme seems to furnish an exceedingl,
satisfactory method of dealing with rathe
difficult and delicate questions, and Mr.
Traphagen and his teachers are to be con
graduated upon the success with which II 4

A GOOD POULTRY MARKET.
Large Amount of Poultry Purchased in

Large Amount OF Poultry Purchased in
Owosso-Remarks of Buyers.
Owosso's record as poultry market has
not suffered much this year in spite of all
the annoying causes for decline, and the
season bids fair to close with a record of
approximately $50 tons of poultry bought
and shipped In this city, and another record
In the neighborhOod of forty thousand dol
lars paid out to the poultry raisers of this
section of the country. These figures are
only approximately correct for none of the
large buyers have made an accurate sum-
mary Of purchases or total amount paid out
to date, but they are probably as nearly cor
rect as can be secured at present and show
to what an extent the market has grown.
During the busy season the work of pre-
pairing the poultry for shipment has given
employment to considerably over hundred
women pickers, the most of whom have
been kept quite steadily at work. AS may
be imagined 1t Is no small task to prepare
$50 tons of poultry for the market. The

The seasons business at the different
houses has been very satisfactory In every
respect IL the assertions of the managers
count for anything. Mr.. Arthur Bates, of
the Harrison, Swan Co., pronounces himself
as especially we'll pleased with the seasons
work which has exceeded his most sanguine
hopes, In fact he didn't expect one-h half as
much. He expects to get large amount
yet before the season closes. Mr.. Emory
says he has had the largest seasons business
of any year since he began coming to Owos-
so. He has had some sellers come from a
distance of thirty miles. His full force OF
pickers was kept busy for three weeks al
one stretch without losing an hour. Copas

knowing ones are found who express the
belief that "Your Uncle Robert" has done
his full duty by the poultry market and

Horrible Accident at Washington Street
Crossing Tuesday Night.

Horrible Accident at Washington Street
Crossing Tuesday Night.
The Washington street crossing OF the ID.
d NJ division of the Grand Trunk railway
III this city was the scene of horrible acci-
dent Tuesday night when the body of Chas.
Reynolds was ground to pulp by two. cer'
tainly, and probably three trains, before the
sickening affair was discovered.
After the west bound freight train had
run down to the station about one o'clock
it backed down again to the Washington
street crossing to do some switching and
then the conductor found the cold and life
less remains of man lying between the
rails just opposite the space between the
Parshall mill and elevator. But little was
left here of the body of the man, fragments
being scattered along the ties from the west
side of the crossing.
The conductor of the freight, who found
the remains, aroused Agent Wykes and
they called up DR.. A. l.. Arnold, the COM
pany's resident physician, aud Coroner V.
M. White and then went again to the scene
of affair. A jury consisting of John Ham,
mond, Chas. Beatty, c. Congdon, N. Percia,
A. W. Henderson and John Brown was
empaneled and Undertaken Fred Knapp
who had been called, gathered together the
gruesome relics and took them to the under
taking rooms of Knapp q Smith.
The most plausible theory seems to be
that Reynolds, who was going to his home
In the house at the gas works, after spend
ing the evening in down town saloon, was
about drunk and rounded the corner of the
Estey factory just in advance o; the 9:53
east bound passenger train. If this is true
then both this train and the east bound
freight which goes about an hour later must
have run over him, quite unknown to the
crews of both trains. Reynolds, who was
helper at the gas works. is said to be accus-
toned to drink rather heavily and 1t Is
claimed had been spoken to within day or
80 about this proclivity of his. Apparently
this warning was fatally ignored.
Reynolds had lived in this city for num-
Der of years and for the last two years had
been In the employ of the gas company liv-
ing In the company's house on Shiawsssee
street. He leaves a family of five children,
two daughters who are working In Durand
and three small son at home with their
mother. The family is nearly In destitute
circumstances.

that the performance is Of great impor-
