FRIDAY, JUNE "a, 1898
NOW FOR THE KATAHDIN.

We have seen what one of our new
and strange war craft, the Vesuvius,
can do with her awful guncotton
shells, and we will await her further
performances with interest, while the
enemy w.l watch for these volcanic
discharges in fear and trembling.
But we have yet to witness what that
other new and strange war craft, the
ram Katahdin, can do in fight
There was considerable doubt about
the practicability of the Vesuvius, but
that has been thoroughly overcome,
although it is still a question if, in
sea fight with her deadly load of high
explosives, she would not prove as
dangerous to her own crew and to
neighbering war vessels as to the enc
my, since one well directed shot
would blow her to pieces along with
everything around her for a consider
able distance. There is not so much
uncertainty, however, about the Kata-
din, and the only anxiety is to see
her hurting herself as deadly mis-
sile against the enemy's big ships.
She is practically without armament
although she is armored and protect
ed by the peculiarties of her con-
struction most effectively. She has
turtleback of six-inch curved steel
presenting practically no target. She
has no main battery and her second
ary battery is designed only to drive
off torpedo boats and their destroyers.
The Katahdin is designed to ram the
enemy with her long steel beak, back
ed by her 1000 tons and her seventeen
knots Of speed. At present this un-
tried vessel is wa iting for something
to do up on the coast of new jersey

NIGHT ATTACKS.
The New York Cavalry Worried the
Seventh Ohio With Continuous
Attacks.


Camp Algtr, June 81. The Seventh
returned to-day from its practice
march to the Potomac and was accom-
panied by the 65th New York and 1st
New Jersey. At the last moment the
destiny of the brigade was changed,
and instead marching to the river
near Alexandria, the objective point
was three miles above Georgetown, D.
c., just across the Potomac on the Ma
ryland side.
The march from camp was begun
yesterday morning at six o'clock and
the regiments reached their camping
ground at 1880, making the march OF
13 miles in four hours and a half.
The roads were dusty almost to suffo-
cation, and when the men reached
camp they were dirt-begrimed, while
perspiration streamed from their sun
burnt faces.
After a rest meal of bacon, hard
Potomac, the men declared they were
as fresh as blooming roses. The
night was spent in dog tents.
The regiment expected an attack
from the New York cavalry, and con-
sequently the soldiers slept on their
arms. Hardly had they fallen in arms
of Morpheus when the alert sentinel
excitedly called Turn out the guard"
and a moment later the bugle rang
GU ITO arms." In an incredibly
short time every comp any had fallen
in. ready for action, and marched to
the attacking point to repel the enc
my. Four times this was repeated
during the night and at o'clock the
boys rolled in their blankets to
catch an hours sleep until reveille
at o'clock. A sleepier, more woebe-
gone regiment could scarcely be i'm
agined than the Seventh as they ate
hard tack and bacon this morning.
the restless, Sleep
less night they were equal to the long,
dusty march before them, making the
return trip in three and half hours
This was considered pretty good time
when it is known that every man car
ried 40 pounds of baggage.
The march was conducted with the
same precaution as that of an invad-
ing army in an enemys territory
Scouting and skirmishing parties
we're kept constantly in the woods on
both sides of the marching army, and
several of the men had thrilling ex-
oeriences in scaling precipitous noun

On the return trip somewhat ex-
citing episode occurred. When about
half way to camp company G., in
command of Captain Blizzard, was
ordered by Major Wiedler to double
ime to close up a gap. At this |
uncture Major Wiedler took the cap
aims sword from him, placing him
lnder arrest and the company was
,iven charge of First Lieutenant AL |
en-. At this hour nothing further has
,een done, and what the outcome of |
he difficulty will be is not known.
Lieutenant Russell quite seriously
prained his ankle on the march and
Ie was obliged to return in the am
'ulance.
Lieutenant Burke, Company NJ, was
brown from buggy in a runaway
eserday and received a serious frac-
ure of his leg. He was taken to the
lospital and will probably return to
lis home at New Matamoras.
During the absence of the regiment
uard duty was done by the recruits.

GENERAL NILES WIFE.

The ranking general of uncle Sam S
army leads charming domestic life.
He and his wife are said to be the
handsomest pair in the army His
wife was Miss Sherman, niece of the
late General W. T. Sherman, and a
sister of Senator Don Cameron's
wife. She is tall, handsome and de-
voted to the General and her fam
lily. She has always been his con-
stant companion. 1t is even said in
the army that she has been near
enough to her husband in some of
his Indian fights to hear the shots on
both sides. She accompanied him to
Europe when he was assigned to fol-
low the Greek in their war with Tur-
key. When the General received or
ders to 60 to Tampa Mrs. Miles ar
ranged to go along. She is a thor
ough horsewcman, dresses in excel
le-. taste ard the fighter and his wife
make very handsome and martial
pair as they canter side by side. They
have two children, daughter, just
budding into womanhood. and son,
Sherman, fine, soldierly looking lad
OF 13. The mothers chief regret now
is that the boy is too young to follow
his father to the front. They say in
army circles that the Generals dash
ing and devoted wife is ably well
stocked with tactics and evolutions
and war plans,--New York Mail and
Express.

INDICTMENT FOUND
Against Cordelia Dickerson and Sa-
mantha Flagg for Murder

| ~
Marshal ]. H. Dye returned Thurs
| day evening from GAINESVILLE, where
he went as witness in the case
against Mrs. Cordelia Dickerson, Of
this city. and Mrs. Samantha Flagg
of this county, who were arrested
here Tuesday on the charge of muir
dering the two-weeks-old babe of Mrs
Flagg at GAINESVILLE in April, 1894.
The prosecuting attorney of Mus
kingum county procured the impanel-
ling of a special grand jury to investi-
gate the case and two days were spent
in examining witnesses. Indictments
were returned against the two Wash
ington county women and also against
woman named Fannie Wise, now
living in GAINESVILLE.
Mayor Gibson, of GAINESVILLE, was
one of the witnesses before the grand
jury and testified that Mrs. Dickerson
told him that the murdered child of
her sister had been given laudnam by
the Symms woman 1t was then
placed in a basket, but soon revived
and was given a second dose of the
powerful drug. The little body was
then taken to the Muskingum river
bridge and thrown into the water
The case has aroused much interest
in Muskingum county, where the
crime was committed, and also in this
county, where two of the three prin-
cipals reside.
The Times Recorder gives the fol-
lowing history of the crime:
On or about April 8, 1894, the two
women first named lived together on
Elm street, in this city, and the SYM
ons woman was frequent visitor and
intimate acquaintance of theirs The
Flag woman, whose name was then
Rhodes, had given birth to a male
child which was at that time between
two and three weeks old. One night
the three women and the child disap-
peared and a day or two later the
child was found in the river above the
tile works with its throat discolored
and its skull chrushed.
The inquest held at the time failed
to develop the identity of the child,
which only became known recently.
The matter has been worked I'D cuiet-
ly and carefully for some weeks and
the details sound like romance
The officers Of the law refused to al
low the details to be made public prior
TO the trial of the case, but it NAV be
said that the evidence is overwhelm-
ing to the effect that the child was
strargled and then cast into the river
where 1t was found by fshermn.
The Rhodes woman, the mother OF
the child. when she left here went to
Coal Run, Washington county, where
she has since married a man named
Flagg. Her sister, Della Dickerson
went to Marietta, where she has since
lived frankie Wise went to Clonm-
bus where she remained about a year
before drifting back to GAINESVILLE
The latter is now in the GAINESVILLE
workhous serving sentence for keep
In house Of ill-fame. She is the
same woman with whom former Sber-
IN Hanes became infauted, and who
driven to desperation by her unfaith-
fulness, attempted to shoot her. her
life being saved by the bullet from his
revolver striking watch he had
given her.
