ANKLE BONES BROKEN.

Mrs. Joseph Ward, of Benwood, wife
OF the city recorder, met with very
painful accident last evening. She fell
in the yard, and, thinking she was only
slightly bruised worked about the
house for some time afterward until
her ankle gave her so much pain that
she supposed she had sprained the
ankle. A physician was sent for and
he found that instead of sprain, two
bones in the ankle had been broken.

but preliminary arrangements toward
commencing the improvements and
getting the necessary money were dis
cussed. The subscriptions to pay for
the improvements have been very en-
couraging, and upon the strength Of
what money has been pledged the sum
of $1,000 will be borrowed. A good
attendance of the Sabbath scholars is
desired tomorrow, as their help IN the
work of canvassing for funds will be
asked. They will be asked to work on
the 81 bond system, similar to that
adopted by another local church. 1t is
intended to commence the improve
ments to the church about the first OF
July and complete them by fall. The
work will not interfere with the regu-
lar services, which will be held as usual
in the lecture room on the first floor.

UNDER SEALED ORDERS.
Why Ships of War Are Thus Sent on
Erran ds by the President of
the United States.

The custom of having warships sail
"under sealed orders" has arisen from
the desire of maritime powers to pre-
vent their plans from becoming known
to the enemy.
In the American navy such orders
come from the president, and are delv-
cred to commander of ship or squad
ron by confidential messenger, who
knows nothing of their contents.
Sometimes they are in cipher, but
they are always sealed with the official
seal Of the navy department, and the
package cannot be opened until the
time marked on it, which is usually sew
eral hours after the hour of leaving
port.
By this precaution the newspapers
are prevented from disclosing prema-
turely movements which may be of the
greatest importance, and the spies OF
the enemy are rendered useless SO far
as their ability to discover the secret of
such movements is concerned.
Sailing under sealed orders Is now
the common practice in time of war.
These INSTRUCTIONS are found in the
packet of sealed ORDERS" which is
opened whe we'll out TO sea.

TIE SMALL GUNS
They Play Most important Part IN
nnrbor Defense In Time
of War.

d a D. .H
Much has been written of the big
guns that are to defend the hsrbors.
In the system OF defense the smaller
guns play u most important part, both
TO supplement the work of the great
rifles and to be used against bodies of
men who otherwise might carry the
works by assault. For direct service
against attack by men the great guns
are useless. Their value is altogether
in the power of destruction possessed
by them, says the New York Press.
The smaller guns of the United States
artillery service are made in scores of
styles and are designed for all the diff
ferent kinds of service for which gun
possibly can be needed.
Among the smaller arms which have
been adopted by the ordnance depart
ment of the United States army in the
last year are six-pounder rapid-fire guns
to be used either behind ramparts or in
the open against landing parties, three
inch. 16-pounder, rapid-fire guns for
rampant, or easements. five and six-incll
rapid-fre guns for use with moving
troops. Gatling, Maxim. and Dreggs-
Schroeder guns and all sizes and styles
