HOBSON IN NEW YORK.
HIS ARRANGEMENTS ron RAISING
THE CRIsTOBAL COLON.
he DENIES THAT SOFT IMPEACHMENT.
Says He Knows Nothing of the Mat
ter Of the Alleged Marriage En-
saeement-wiIl Hardly Visit His
Home This Trip.

NEW YORK, July N.-Iieutenant Hob
son arrived here early to-day from Nor
ristown, N. j., and went at once to the
offices of the Merritt Chapman Wrecking
Company, in Wall street, where he was
in close consultation with the officers Of
the company for two hours. At the end
of the conference he said that the con-
tracts for the raising Of the wreck of the
Cristobal Colon were about concluded.
THE contracts, OF course, must be ap-
the Naval Construction Board" he said.
"They are not fully completed. / go to
Washington tonight. and will know more
about my future plans after / have seen
the officials there.
THE air-bags with which 1t Is pro-
posed to raise the ship will probably be
constructed by rubber company in New
York. They will measure about 6 by Is
feet, and will have a capacity of about
thirteen tons each. Pontoons OF the size
required TO assist in raising the ship will
probably be constructed at once"
DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT 1T.
When asked II there was any truth In
the report that he was engaged to
young lady from Kansas, and that the
engagement had been announced by her,
he smiled and said: II really don't know
what you are talking about l am sure
/ know nothing Of the matter"
Several visitors came to the Office Of
the wrecktng company to see Lieutenant
Hobson, and he chatted with each few
moments He said he might make
short visit to his Alabama home IL he
returned to the fleet via Key West, but
he was afraid 1t would be impossible on
this trip, as II would be necessary to get
back TO his work at the earliest date pos
sible.
There was no demonstration as he
walked up Wall street, accompanied by
two friends, and only a few persons recog-
nized him. He left for Washington on an
afternoon train.

About Money Paid Directors.


About Money Paid Directors.
LONDON, July N.-The public examina-
ton in the bankruptcy court to-day into
the affairs of Mr.. Ernest Terah Hooley,
the company promoter, for whose pro-
perty. on his own application, a receiver
was appointed on July 23d, attracted big
crowd OF people. The debtor attributed
his failure chiefly to his partner a man
named Rucker Gripping the business by
drawing out 100000 within two months.
In detailing the fotation OF the Dunlop
Tire Company, Mr.. Hooley said the names
on the directorate cost between $4,000
and 100000. including those of Lord AL
bermarle, 912,500, and Lord De la War;,
&25,000
In connection with the f1otation. Mr..
Hooley also said he lost 963, 600 on press
calls" these being shares intended for
people connected with newspapers" whose
names have not been divulged, though 1t
is expected they will be made public later
In the course of his testimony Mr.
Hooley detailed the payments he had
made to newspapers, including. as alleged,
the Pall-Mall Gazette, the Financial Post,
and number of smaller papers.
When Mr.. Hooley was questioned about
$1,000 paid TO Harry Marks editor of the
Financial News, he denied that 1t was in
consideration of the insertion Of "puffs"
In the paper named.
AS a matter Of fact, the supposed profit
Of the fiotation of the Dunlop Tire Com
pany, amounting to G1,70oO0O, had been
"sweated" away TO under G200,0O0.

PICKETT's MEN IN PHILADELPHIA,
Programme of the q. A. X. Posts for
Their Entertainment.
(Philadelphia Press.)

When the scattered and torn regi-
ments which, under Pickett, started out.
without music and with their guns at
shoulders arms, from Seminary ridge,
on July g. 1865, to charge the Federal
troops massed at the "copse OF trees" on
Cemetery ridge, they little thought
that in some future day the very men
against whom they turned their arms
would extend TO them the hand of good
fellowship and welcome them as COM
rades in arms to the city which was the
objective point of their commanders at
tack.
And yet it is a fact that. at the earn
est invitation OF many Grand Army
camps and civil war regimental as
sociations, the survivors of the charge
that to-day ranks highest in the his
tory Of American bravery are to be
entertained in August by the very men
who fought against them.
The old warriors of the Stars and
Bars and the old warriors of the Stars
and Stripes, from August Sth to August
18th, will meet in common conolave and
tell to each other their own views Of the
terrible days In '6S which ended in Lees
retreat.
On Saturday, August 9th, when Pick
ett's men will reach Philadelphia, the sur
yivors will attend services at the
Cathedral and at Bethany church. in
recognition of the eloquence of Arch
bishop Ryan at the Blue and Gray re-
union, in Washington, in 1896. and of
John Wanamaker's presentation OF a
silk flag on behalf Of the Pennsylvania
Brigade to Picketts men in 1859.
On the Monday following the sur
vivors Of Pickett's charge will call at In
dependence Hall. and. after registering
at the Grand Army headquarters. will
pay their respects TO Mayor Warwick.
and then turn toward the encampment
and assist at the ceremonies attending
the raising Of 'Old Glory"
On Tuesday the veterans OF the South
will be taken TO the large stores, to
the various large manufacturing houses,
and to the University of Pennsylvania
and the Masonic Temple. A day viii
also be devoted TO a trip to Fort MiffiIn.
and the beauties OF the Delaware will

club crushing his skull, from which death
resulted instantly. The men had been
using harsh language towards each other,

but seeing heavy club thought that
would best serve his purpose, and used 1t.
The murderer made his escape, and has

BIG PEACH CROP.
Georgia Has Eclipsed All Records
in This Direction.
Florida Times-Union.


BY the end of this week three fourths
Of the peach crop in Georgia will have
been moved, and the supply Of peaches
in the market will then take drop, and
prices will very likely go up, so far as
this section of the country is concerned. d,
The entire crop in Georgia is estimated
at 200 carloads, as against from 200 to
LOU, the largest crop in previous years.
This big increase is not only due to
good season, but also to the increased
acreage, and the crop next year, If favor
able conditions prevail, promises to be
cars.
Under an agreement between the lines
TO the West from the peach district in
Georgia, the entire crop in that direction
Is being handled by the Western and At
lantic and Nashville, Chattanooga and
ST. Louis railroads The Times-Union
and Citizen gave the largest shipment
in single day, about a week ago, as
being sixty-four cars, but this figure has
since been eclipsed, going up to eighty
cars. This breaks all records, and gives
an idea of the tremendous crop that Is
being shipped from that State. The ship
ments referred to are. of course, entirely
to the West, and do not include the east
ern shipments, except as to the total
crop.
The fruit TO the West is being handled
over the lines indicated by agreement on
account of the facilities possessed for
icing the cars at proper intervals. The
large quantities Of ice used for the pur-
pose have even been felt in Jacksonville.
making 1t difficult to secure fee from
Georgia points to supply the unusual de-
mand here. Large quantities Of ice have
been shipped even from Chicago, with
which to supply the Armour refrigerator
cars. BY the end Of this week, however,
the demand win be lessened, as the bulk
of the crop will have been moved, as al
ready stated -r'f-

THE DISPATCH.
TASkINAS M WEB

Modern authorities attribute to
an excess of uric acid in the sys-
tenn many of the most serious and
obstinate forms of disease. Not
only such affections as govt, rheu-
matism, and stone in the kidney,
but also many conditions mani
tested by deranged digestion and
obscure nervous symptoms, have
their foundation in the uric acid
di9thesis. The rational method
of dealing with these cases is to
treat the cause by neutralizing
this morbid product. ManyTeme-
dies have been suggested and en-
ployed for this purpose, but for
some reason not fully understood
the artificial products have never
met with the success attained by
NATURES combination.
Recognizing this fact, the num-
Der of "lithia " waters on the
market is enormous. Many Of
these contain so little of the con-
stituent from which they derive
their names that a barrel full q
day would be the least amount
which would contain a therapeutic
dose. There has recently been
placed OH the market valuable
addition to the physicians re-
sources in this direction-name-
ly, Taskinas Water. As an anti
acid, wherever indicated, it would
be difficult to discover a better
remedy. In demijohns plain, and
in bottles carbonated. Pamphlets

Chicago Record. Annapolis letter.
ibid you expect 10 escape?"
NO; we expected 10 die. AS / have
said, the sailors knew nothing Of the
fate that awaited them, but there was
not an officer on the fleet who did not
feel that his end had come. There was
only one chance, a s..snl possibility that
one, or. perhaps, two. OF the vessels
might escape. The arrangement of the
Yankee fleet was favorable. The look
outs told US that the New York had
gone TO the east and the Brooklyn was
the only ship In sight that could outsan
the slowest OF our vessels. IL was the
intention TO ram the Brooklyn imme-
diately and sink or disable her, even
though one OF our vessels went down
with her. Then II was hoped the others
could outrun the battleships. Our plan
failed because we could not get near
enough TO the Brooklyn. She did not
close in on us like the Texas and Oregon,
but stood of at long range. and when
the Maria Teresa started for her she
made a vide sweep and ran away. Ger
vera asked Commodore Schiey why he
did not come nearer. but got no satisfac-
ton. But the Maria Teresa was almost
instantly disabled by shells from the
Texas which met her at the mouth Of
the harbor. and the Oregon was great
surprise. We had no idea that any bat
tleship could make her speed. II was
something we were not prepared for. II
was the Oregon that prevented our es-
cane"
What was the matter with the Span
ish gunnery? Why did your shots do no
more damageg'
First. because we had only a few
long-range guns. There were none on the |
Colon and only two each on the |
other ships. Then We had no proper |
range-fnders. and our sailors lacked |
practice. The gunnery OF the Yankee |
feet was marvellous. Nothing amer was |
ever seen In the world"
