The fiocks of sheep introduced into this
part of the state during the past few years
are fiourishing in q way TO give the great

Morning News representative had occasion
to inspect a drove on the prairies in the
southern part of this county a few days

not one of the lot in bad condition. Last
spring lambs were nearly as large as the
ewes, and were well filled out.
In May last MIR. N. Mernaugh, a mer-
chant, was arrested by the city marshal
for selling whisky in violation of the city's
ordinances, which prohibit the sale of
whisky or beer within the corporate linn

Court, resulting in conviction and a fine
of $3.50 was assessed against the defendant.
His counsel took an appeal to the Circuit
Court, the required bond being given at
once. The case has just reached a final
hearing, the result being the affirmation
of the action of the Municipal Court. The
defendant had the best legal talent to be
secured, and the case has been strongly
contested throughout, il being regarded
as to a great extent a test case.

CAPTAIN CARRIERS CASE.
Wayne MacyeaGb Arrives Ready to

Contrary to expectations, no progress
was made yesterday in the Carter case.

Captain Carter, did not reach the city until
late last night. He is registered at the
Arlington, and viii remain in the city sew
eral days. When seen by a reporter for
The Times last night General MacVeagh
stated that he had just arrived in town
from Pennsylvania. He came to place him
self at the disposal of Attorney General
Griggs, and was ready TO present argu-
ments in the Carter case at any time. Gen
eral MacVeagh did not know when the case
would be heard by the Attorney General.
He will call at the Department of Justice
this morning and expects that time will
then be named fer arguments to be pre-
sented. He declined to discuss the points
in the case, stating that his views had been
given the public several weeks ago.
It is expected that arguments will be
heard today by Attorney General Griggs,
after which il is believed to be the inten-
tion Of the Administration to reach final
disposition Of the matter without delay.
The Attorney General was in consultation
with the President yesterday in reference
to the present status Of the case. giving
cclor to the rumor that a final settlement
may be reached within a very few days.

lieyed to be dying of dropsy of the heart at

GAS ENGINES FOR LIFEBoATs.
The Government Makes Satisfactory
Tests of Its Merits

NJ Wv HuaftS
Tests of It's Merits.
Recent experiments in the use of pc
culiarly constructed gas engine for the pur-
pose of propelling lifeboats have been so
satisfactory that Superintendent Kimball,
OF the Life Saving Board of the Treasury
Department, has decided to recommend its
permanent adoption by the Government
The engine was constructed under the di-
rection of Lieut.. Charles H. Mcclellan. a
life-saving inspector, and the final tests,
which have demonstrated its usefulness,
were held recently at Marquette, Mich
The crucial test of the experiment was
as to whether a regulation lifeboat thirty
TOUR feet long and weighing four TONS
would right itself when equipped with the
engine. The boat was capsized repeatedly
and 1t was thoroughly demonstrated that
the engine did not interfere in the least
with its self-righting and self bailing fea-
lures.
When this part of the experiment was
concluded the boat was sent out to a point
eight miles from the shore, and covered the
distance in about forty-five minutes.
st1n gale was blowing at the time, but it
did not interfere with the boats progress
Under ordinary conditions the boat would
have been able to have covered the distance
same distance by the old-time method
would have occupied three or four hours of
time, or have occasioned the use of a tug.
Lieutenant Mcclellan says that the value
or the gas engine in the life-saving service
cannot be estimated. He says il allows
the surfmen to accomplish great deal
more work and in shorter time. Another
great advantage in having motive Iower is
that the men are fresh when the week is
reached and can do great deal more
work. When they have to row out to
wreck they are almost exhausted. and it is
when the wreck is reached that they re-
quire all the strength at their command.
1t is said that having power in the beat
is even superior to having the boat towel
out TO the scene of the wreck, as the tug
must take the boat out to the wreck AMI
allow it to drift down and this occasions
loss of time. A lifeboat supplied with
the gas engine can run alongside the
wreck and much effective work can be
done in the time ordinarily lost in letting
the boat down alongside the wreck.
Another advantage is that the boat can
be turned more quickly. A twin screw
propeller has been adopted for the life
boat. complete circle on a twenty-five
foot radius can be made in a minute and
fifteen seconds. The boat can also be re-
versed inside of twenty seconds.

A sUPERsENsITIvE EDITOR.
He Rejected nm Article Because Els
ticuffs Was Referred To.


(From the Chicago Reeord)
Among the magazine readers in the Uni
ted States there is a strange prejudice
against anything smacking of pugilisru,"
said the Rev. Dr. Watson recently, while
on visit in Sioux City. ''Not long ago ]
was commissioned by the editor of an
American magazine to write story of a
certain length for specified sum. the
subject and treatment TO be selected by my
self. When l submitted the production the
editor looked at it and declared:
we couldn't think of printing such a
story as this TO go into the homes of the
United States. Ii would be suicide for the
magazine. OF course we will pay you the
sum agreed upon, but we cannot use the
matter at ALL
Il replied that he was under no obiiga-
tions TO pay for what he could not use, but
wanted to know what there might be in the
story that made it Objectionable to his
readers 1t would shock their moral sense
so seriously he answered that we would
lose subscribers by the article, instead of in
creasing our list

any other that l had written was there a
single expression that ought to offend the
sensibilities of the reader young or old
So | asked the editor for specifications
What do you suppose had been my offence
as an author? 1t was simply that had re-
ferred to a little fsticuff between two boys
at school. I did not detail the quarrel

that 1t was essential to the story. The ep-
isode could not be cut out. For this reason
the manuscript was rejected. / wanted the
EDITORS personal judgment of such senti-
mentaism, and you viii pardon NE for
quoting his reply literally;
'' I think 1t is - pharisaical rot
"The difference between the two great
English-speaking countries with reference

have always been glad of it. have known

That experience with the editor led me
to inspect American magazines to see how
much real care is taken in them not to Of
fend in other respects those sensibilities
which are so delicate concerning fisticuffs
OF course found page after page devoted

that a patronage dainty souled that it

THE MILITARY ROAD.
The War Department Will Take No
Action.

tnc war department w III lhke NO
Action.
The Secretary of War has finally decided
to take no action in the dispute over that
portion of the Military Road which. it is
alleged, passes through the old Murray
tract in Alexandria county, Va. An abso
lutte refusal has also been given by the de-
partment to the recent demands of the
trustees of the property for the payment of
an annual rental, as was done for a number
of years prior TO 1890, when the present
owners came into possession of the prop
erty.
AT the War Department yesterday it was
stated that the Government would not be
drawn into any controversy over the mat
ter. Investigation by legal officers of the
department has satisfied the Secretary that
the road in question is public highway,
and it is believed the officials of Alexandria
county can be relied upon to keep open
this important highway Should the Vir-
gnia authorities permit the closing of the
road. however, it is probable that trans
portation between Washington and Fort
Myer would hereafter be carried on by way
