SHOOTING SCRAPE.
John Gallagher Shot Twice by TIE
Waterman on the B. & QBridge
at Bsnv1od Last Night

John Gallagher and Thomas Murphy,
two men who live in Bellaire, were ar
resteahy the Bellaire authorities early
this morning on the charge of tres
passing 1t seems that the two men
went over to Benwood last night and
before they started home just after
midnight they had their share of Ben
wood booze on board. They were too
late to catch the ferry boat and started
to walk across the B. & 0. railroad
bridge. The Waterman on the bridge
stopped them and told them that it was
against the company's rules to allow
any one to cross on the bridge. The
Waterman claims that they assaulted
him and in seif-defense he drew his
gun and opened fire. Gallagher was
struck twice, once in the shoulder and
once in the hip. This sobered Murphy,
who helped the Waterman assist Gala
CHER to Bellaire, where the TWO men
were arrested. Gallagher was allowed
to go home, where he was attended by
DR.. Boone, of that city. 1t IS not
thought that his wounds are anything
serious. Gallagher will be remember
ed as a former pitcher in the Inter
State base ball league. The charge OF
tresspassing was placed against the
two men. Murphy was remanded to
jail.

times quite vivid in its recital and in
teresting in detail. Briefly summed up
his estimate of the antiago expedition
was that it had been a military sue
cess and cheap at the cost Of 500 men
lost in the fight. He considered the
expedition to have been as we'll fitted
out as the time allowed would permit,
and said that in looking back he had
no criticism of his plans to make and
would not change them if the events
had to be gone through again. He said
he had no complaints of any sort to
make and would be loath to intrude
them at this time if he had.

WILL GO SLOW.
Senators Not Favorable Ito Rushing
Naval Increases.

Washington, December 20.-There
was an informal discussion in the SEN
ate committee ON naval affairs to-day
of the suggestion of the Navy Depart
ment for the increase of the navy. The
question was raised by Senator Hanna
who advanced the opinion that for the
present additions to the navy should
be limited to the actual requirements.
Many. Improvements now making in
naval architecture, he thought, render
ed it eXpedient to wait as long as pos
sible before entering too extensively
upon shipbuilding. Other senators
present expressed a similar opinion,
but as the question was not formally
before the committee no action was
taken.

They Will Not Prove of Much Service
to the United States.

Washington December 20.-There
has been some speculation as to what
disposition the Navy Department will
make of the modern guns captured
from Spain during the recent war. 1t
has been generally understood that the
obsolete ordnance would figure only as
souvenirs for distribution ~ the gov
eminent to States and municipalities,
but there was quite a number of serv-
iceable, modern cannon, mostly naval
guns, captured at Santiago, Manila and
elsewhere. 1t is stated by the depart
ment that these guns are not likely to
form a very valuable asset. The Al
inch guns from the Maria Teresa, the
Viscaya and the Colon, several of
which are at the Washington navy
yard, are not the most modern type of
this weapon. They are different in
caliber from any guns in the American
navy except those of the New Orleans
and the Albany, now being completed
abroad. The siX-inch quick-fire guns
captured also require special amuni-
ton, not being adapted to our six-inch
shells, so that except in case Of acct
dent to one of the guns of the New Or
leans or Albany there would be small
IIhCIlIOOu Vi ScIIlHSo any VI CllC CclpIul
ed ordnance into service. The question
of boring out the captured guns to the
next higher caliber was considered, but
rejected as reducing too greatly the
factor of safety.
1t is interesting to note that the new
guns being planned for the navy will
conform in certain respects to those Of
the New Orleans, which was classed by
all the officers who saw her in action
during the war as marvelOusly quick
firing, hard-shooting piece of naval
architecture, Her guns are all $50 cal
ibers long" That is, the barrel is so
times the length of the diameter of the
bore Our standard has been 40 cali
bers, but the longer gun seems to bear
about the same relation to the shorter
as the As caliber rife does to the re-
yolver of the same bore. 1t is this Pc
culiarity of the guns that develops
their remarkable muzzle velocity of
something like $500 feet. The new
guns planned for our navy are expected
to develop about 5000 feet velocity. 1t
is expected that this new type of the
six-inch quick-firer with its additional
penetrating power will make it an even
more terrible weapon than that demon
strated itself to be in our two memoir
able actions with the Spanish fleets.

A DISSENTING VOICE.
One Massachusetts Citizen Who Does
Not Agree With McI<inley's Utter
anceS.


Somerville, Mass, DecembG0 20
Mayor A. A. Perry, a member OF VIII
lard C. Kinley Post No. 1879, G. A. r.,
has written a letter to the Post severe
ly condemning that portion of Presi-
dent McKinley's address at Atlanta
suggesting that it would be proper for
the government to assist in care and
preservation of Confederate cemeteries.
The letter says:
Perhaps it is better for me to stay
away from Grand Army gatherings for
a little time at least until | recover
from the shock of the statements lately
made by President Mckinley at At
lanta. / love the South and her peo-
pie, and no one rejoices more than | at
the splendid spectacle of a reunited
country during the recent war with
Spain. But | cannot yet believe that it
is the duty of the nation to give the
same attention to the graves of the
men who sought TO destroy it as to the
resting places of those who died for
its preservation. God forbid that any
word should come from my lips or pen
calculated to revive the sad memories
of the past. Let us extend the warm
hand of fellowship to our Southern
brothers. Let us give to them I'M
grudgingly of our love. But let us not
do any act or approve any policy from
which future generation may infer that
the great American republic in the
closing years of the nineteenth century
had become so blind that she could not
distinguish between her saviors and
her would-be destroyers."
