ADMIRAL DEWEY'S SUIT
70 Recover Prize Money For SPANS
VesseIs Sunk in Manila Raw

70 Recover Prize Money For SPANISH
Vessels Sunk In Manila Bay.
Washington, July 81. Admiral
George Dewey yesterday filed suit as
a libellant in the district court of the
District of Columbia to recover the
prize money due him and the officers
and crew of his feet for the vessels
sunk in the battle of Manila and the
property subsequently recovered by the
naval force under his command. Upon
the ships and equipments which have
already been appraised and inventoried
by the board of appraisers appointed
by the secretary of the navy Admiral
Dewey demands the sum of 1926, 141,
and in addition the amount due upon
the three cruisers sunk in the en-
gagement, but subsequently raised,
and upon which he places value of
$425 900. These vessels have never yet
been appraised. Hon. Hilary A. Her.
bert, the former secretary of the navy,
appears as the chief counsel for Adj
miral Dewey.
The number of men engaged aboard
the American vessels during the battle
10 given DIS l,ooo, anu, Wulle AuulIdl
Dewey declares that he Is unable to
give the exact number of men engaged
on the Spanish ships, he asserts that
the number was far in excess of those
under his own command, and that
their forces were superior. All the
property recovered as result of the
battle is now In possession of the
United States with the exception of
that which has been consumed.
Some days ago Admiral Dewey filed
an individual application for claim for
naval bounty growing out of the bat
tie Of Manila bay, and this, with many
others filed before the navy depart
ment, are now before the court of
claims for judicial determination.

CHAPTER XXXTI.

THE COUNT s RELEASE DEMANDED
The chief of police entered the room
mt this moment. He glanced keenly at
Percy.
"Who is this3" he asked.
1t was Borofsky who told him the
news; as for me, l could not have
spoken. There was horrid kind Of
paralysis-the spell Of horror-upon
my tongue could have yelled aloud.
but to speak quietly and sanely would
have been impossible to me.
"Whatr' exclaimed the chief, when
Borofsky had explained, in a sentence
or two, the position of affairs. "The
informer? He whom our friend here
has desired to screen; who laid informa-
ton of the railway AFFAIR.""
1.-THE same, said Borofsky. "Man

disposes in the endr'

beg to be allowed 10 pass lightly over
the sight we found awaiting us at the
little lodging hired for the use of our
ill fated informer
1t was plain, barely furnished bed
room, with tiny kitchen attached.
Upon the bed lay the student, dead,
as Percy had reported, and obviously
murdered, perhaps while asleep. The
knife l saw at once, to my horror, was
a Circassian silver handled dagger be-
longing to my father. Andre might at
least have used knife Of his own. re-

Jessie spoke steadily. but her face was
CHASTITY and her breath labored. Fred
Harding rose slowly from beside her. He
dropped her hand and clinched his own.
He set his teeth, and his face was AZ
: CHASTITY a. hers.
"Jessie," he said sternly, "from this
moment all Is over between US. don't
care what has passed before. You have
deceived me, and I'm not going to marry
a convict's daughter"
He turned in passionate haste and left
Jessie alone in the forest. When she saw
him 20, she stretched out her arms i'm
ploringly.
Erred, Fred, come back. If you knew
how love you, you would come back"
He only hurried on the faster Then
Jessie knew all was oyer-her dreams,
her. love- her hope everything She sat
long as he had left her till the darkness,
becoming more and more dense, warned
her to hurry from the forest, and the
lonely girl returned to her now doubly
lonely drudgery.
Fred's ship sailed the next day. That
was all she knew. She saw nothing Of
Clara, and she neither wrote nor went to
Barkingside herself. The weary months
dragged on. Her cough grew worse.
She could not eat, and she could hardly
do her work.
One day about four months after Jes-
sizes parting from Fred some one knock
ed at the door of her room. Clara opened
the door to see her friend lying on the
bed near the window, colorless, dying.
Her white hand loosely held bunch of
violets, and her dark eyes, bright with
fever, were fixed on the window, from
where she could see peep Of the sky.
"Oh, Jessie, what's the matter?
Jessie tried to answer, but coughed in
stead.
"I'm dying" she gasped.
Clara impulsively threw herself on her
knees by the bed and burst into tears.
Jessie laid her hand gently on her head.
Don't cry, Clara. I'm glad now.
Fred gave me up, and I couldn't live

And indeed, we all agreed, he would be
none the less discreet In having done

him, as we hoped and believed 1t, and
he was not the kind Of man to remain

laid our plans carefully for the morrow.
We felt that this would be an impor-

we had in view-namely, my dear ia

There were three things to be done
first, the students passport must be
begged, borrowed or stolen, and he
himself safely dispatched. Secondly, the
police must be warned of the DEVILS
work in progress on the railway. We
should go straight to the chief Of police
himself about this and persuade him
to wire the depot nearest to the spot to
send party of inspection. Should there
prove to be truth in the students tale,
we should have no difficulty in attain
ing our third and chiefest object-An-

test our contention further-namely,
that Andre was an impostor and that

BRICKLAYERS' WAGES
Advanced-An Increase of 33 l-3 Per
 Cent. Has Been Allowed Them.

The numerous bricklayers throughout the city are very much elated over their re- quest for an increase in wages being granted.
 About three months ago this raise was asked for, and after carefully considering the matter the various companies and con- tracting firms decided to allow it. From now on all the furnace companies, con- tractors and others who need the services of bricklayers will pay forty cents per hour instead of thirty cents, the old price This is an advance of B 1-3 per cent, and naturally the bricklayers are joyous.
 One of them said yesterday that ready employment was found in the district for the men who do this class of work, but that now with such a good prospect be- fore them all ought to be happy and con- tented. The advance is considered large one.
 Many new members are being added to the Bricklayers' union of this city, and 1t is expected that at least 90 per cent. of the workers in the district will have be- come members within the next thirty days. The officers of the union are hard and en- ergetic workers and hope soon to make 1t one of the largest and most important organizations of its kind in the south.

D. A. Green Was Temporary Chairman Resolution That Tax Rate Be Not Increased By Constitution Was
 Lost Through Technicality.

The convention of delegates chosen by the people of Jefferson county at the primary election last Saturday met at the audito- rum yesterday. The most important busl- ness transacted was the adoption of resolution declaring that the new consti- tuition which it is proposed to adopt shall, after 1t is framed by the convention, be submitted to the people of the state for ratification or rejection. The convention also elected thirty delegates to the state convention in Montgomery and instructed them to vote as a unit to get that body to nominate Dr. R. M. Cunningham as one of the delegates for the state-at-large representing the Thirteenth senatorial ais trict of Alabama.
 It has been known all the time that pr. Cunningham would be endorsed and the Jefferson delegation instructed to vote for him, but the resolution declaring that the constitution should be referred to the peo- pie came more or less in the nature of d surprise. There was not a dissenting vote cast against it, and every speaker during the convention took occasion {, recommond the referendum plan, as it $ called. If the state convention adopts a similar reso- lution, declaring it to be the purpose of the party to refer the constitution back to the people, it is thought that the convention will carry easily; otherwise, that it will be defeated.

 Chairman Altman of the committee on resolutions then reported favorably on all resolutions except that of Mir Smyer, and they were immediately passed by the con vention.
 A substitute was offered to the Smyer resolution to the effect that there should be no increase In state and county taxes, but leaving open the question of municipal taxes. G. B. Burkhalter jumped up and said that he believed the people should have protection against excessive city taxes as well as burdensome state ana county taxes. He moved to lay the substi- ute on the table and Altman seconded It. The motion carried.
 The impression seemed to be that the original Smyer motion then prevailed, but according to parliamentary usages. the original resolution must again be referred to the committee before it can again be re- ported The convention adjourned before this was done, so 1t seems that the county convention did not express itself on the question of taxation.

SENTENCE PASSED ON WILL GOLSON Date of His Execution Fixed for
 April 28, 1899. NOTICE OF APPEAL GIVEN Judge Greene Denied Motion for New Trial-Ensley Liquor License
 Case Submitted-Doingsi in
 the Other Courts,

Judge Greene yesterday denied the mo- ton for a new trial in the case Of VIII Golson. convicted of the murder of Chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Warnock and sem fenced the prisoner to pay the penalty of the crime on the gallows on Friday, April 2S.
 The motion, which was filed some days ago, was taken up at the morning session and was argued by Attorney Joe Montgom- cry for the defendant Hugh Morrow and Solicitor Heflin for the state resisted the motion.
 After listening to the arguments Judge Greene denied the motion and announced that he would pass sentence upon the ne- gro at o'clock.
 It was almost o'clock when Golson was taken into the criminal court room, where Judge Greene was in waiting. The negro was calm and collected and stood before the judge without the least emotion. When asked if he had anything to say why sen- tence should not be passed upon him he replied in the negative. Not a muscle in his face moved as Judge Greene pronounc- ed the solemn words, q sentence you to hang by the neck until you are dead on Friday, April 2S, 1S99
 Notice of appeal to the supreme court was given and execution of the sentence was suspended. Under the law, sixty days from the date of conviction is allowed in which to file bill of exceptions, and Golson's attorneys will probably untilize the full limit of time in preparing this bill.
 Taken Under Advisement
 Arguments in the case of the state of Alabama ex rel Cummings vs. J. P. Stiles, judge of probate, were concluded in the circuit court yesterday afternoon and the case taken under advisement by Judge Coleman.
 As has been previously stated the action was brought to compel Judge Stiles to issue license for the sale of liquor in the city of Ensley. The petition Is being resisted by the liquor dealers of Pratt City, who en- gagged an attorney to defend the action of the probate judge in refusing to grant the license under an interpretation of an act of February 14. 1881, prohibiting the sale of liquor within three miles of the Pratt Mines school house. Pratt City is incorporated under a special charter granted by the legislature and which nulIlfied the act of 1881 as far as that city is concerned.
 City Court
 In the city court the jury in the case of G. M. Jones vs. Frank P. O'Brien. sheriff, for damages for an alleged false arrest. returned verdict for the defendant.
 In the case of Neil Johnson vs. Louis Knonenberg, damages, e verdict for $175 was returned.
 United States Court
 Only one case was tried in the United States court yesterday, that of J. c. Crow. charged with perjury. who was acquitted. Adjournment was then taken until F O clock today. when the criminal docket will be finished up and the remainder of the prisoners convicted win be sentenced.
