Chancellor McGill, In Chancery Cham
bers Jersey City, yesterday, effected .
temporary settlement In the fight Of j.
Edward Addicks to obtain possession OF
the Staten Island Terra Gotta Lumber
Company. The case is very complicated
one, and includes four distinct chancery
suits, which shave been described from
time to time in tic Herald.
The proceedings yesterday morning were
taken for the purpose of effecting some ar
rangement whereby the business could be
freed from the embarrassment of tho suits.
Tho Chancellor suggested that Mr.. Adj
dicks deposit $50 900 worth of the lumber
company's first mortgage bonds in bank
under the control ofthe Chancellor to Sc
euro the debts Of tho new company and
the receivers transfer to him all the assets
of the corporation in their possession. Mr..
Addicks, who was present in court shook
his head decidedly at this.

NAVAL MILITIA WILL

marine Times.

Washington, March l3-The program
of work for the Naval Militia in the event
of hcsliites has been arranged. No de-
tailed instructions have yet beed furnish
ed the commanding officers of the Reserve
bnttalions, but orders, charts and dcscrp-
tive matter are completed AMI will be for
warded from the Washing on authorities
as soon rs it appears beyond doubt that
thsre will be war.
klThc harbors so far protected are Port
land, Me-. Boston, New York, Delaware
Bay and Charleston. Beyond this the sys-
ten of protec. ion must b, improvisel,
and from all accounts it will be quite as
substantial and effective rs the permanent
works at New York or Boston or Delaware
Bay.
A Government submarine, such rs is
now known to have destroyed the Maine
at Havana, consists of hugo tank con-
tanning $40 pounds of dynamite or wet gun
cotton. This S tho regulation type of
mine, and Il field Of such is composed Of
eleven of these tanks of explosives. Sew
cral mine fields are placed across the on :
trance to the five bodies OF water men
TONED, and the disposition OF the mine in
each field Is SO rs to render 1t impossible
for II ship passing over the field to escape
the destructive force of the explosions.
The experts say thnt mine will destroy
ship Which Is sixty feot from the mine.
Observation points arc establ he'd ut two
place, along the shore one on limo with
tho centre Of tho mine field, and tho other
some distance away. At a signal from the
observer near tho field the officers ut the
rcmoter point discharge the entire field.
A whole fleet would be destroyed with the
pross Of button.
No war has occurred since the snbma-
rine mine has reached its present state of
destructiveness, but some idea of the tor
rifle force OF the system WAS furnished by
this diabolrcal outrage ut Havana, and
even on that OCCASION thore was but one
mine. During the war of the Rebellion
with he crude and limited and temporary
structures sunk IN harDors, great damage
was wrought OH the ships of that day.

Altered the Contract.

The contract made by the Harlan and
Hollingsworth Company with the Vir-
ginia and Norl h. Cai olina Chemical Com
PaRy for the construction Of a steamer for
ahe Waiter company, has been slightly ait
cred.
The original contract was Tor chemical
steamer to to be built for coast wise service
Shortly after the signing Of the contract,
however, the chemical company decided
that 1t would want Il larger steamer, and
one constructed for trans-oCeanic traffic.
In other words they decided to have built IL
tramp steamer, and last week de 'ignrr
Sinclair Stewart, of New York, and An
drew G. Wilson, of the Harlan and Hul-
Hngsworth Co., went 10 Richmond and
made all tho arrangements for tho
change in the contract and in tho plans
and specifications.
The vessel when completed will be about
S75 feet in length, Al feet beam, ?? feet
depth of of hold and will have $3.50 tons
displacement on 10 feet draught. The i'm
pOptant difference in her construction over
the chemical steamer first contracted for
lies in the arrangement of her deck hou os
and state rooms and in her weight Which
will be much greater.
The contract calls for the completion Of
the vessel by the fist of~~August.

BATTERY L READY TO MOVE,
Officers and Men VIII be at Fort Delaware
q
Before Wednesday Night. -

Orders have been received at Fort Nc
Henry for the transfer Of battery l., Of
the fourth araillery. to Fort Delaware.
No date was named in the order for the
transfer, but it is probable that the bat
Gerry will leave tho fort tomorrow or
Wednesday. Capt. William Everett, COM
mandng the battery, and his men have
been busy since the order was received
preparing for departure.
Captain Everett is the only commits
stoned officer who will accompany tliA bat

dercd to Washington for examination for
promotion, and Lieutenants Wilson and
Guguard are now on detached duty.
Private AlbcrG NJ. 1'ritJ will probably
bo tried BY court. martial soon after the
battery reaches its now quarters. Last
Thursday night he showed up at the fort
about midnight after an absence without
leave Of week. Ho had blood on his shirt
and All Investigation showed that he was
taken to the hospital, where it was found
thata bullet had struck a rib over the
heart and had passed partly around tho
body. Tritt said he was shot while in q
woods near Harrisburg, Pa The fact
that there was nothing to indicate that
bullet has passed through his bloody IN
derclo,hing IS taken to mean that he did
not tell all the truth about the manner in
which no was shot. He has scr we'd two
terms of enlistment and has entered upon
u third term.

FRANK PYLE'S FUNERAL.
ltTook Place This Afternoon and was
Attended Only By Immediate
Friends

Although Coroner Wright's jury Satur-
day afternoon concluded that Frank Pyle
died by his own hand it is not conclusive
that the wound was inflicted inten tionally.
This the many friends Of Mr.. Pyle refuse
to believe. They rather accept tho theory
of accidental death.
This afternoon the funeral took place.
There was no display and no crowd of un.
ruly curious people. None blu members
Of the family were admitted to the house.
The body lay in covered caskct, with OK.
tension handles James b. Martin was in
charge
Two police officers keptqutet In the VI.
cinity Of the house. The service was cQn-
ductod by Rows Bowser and Stone Of Tho
Unitarian Church. The bearers were em-

kins, Samuel Mckay and Samuel Harris.
