Considerable interest conferred around
the arrival. late Friday night. of the
schooner Cumberland. Captain Little
morning was lowed up to the Fort Nor
folk wharf and at once began loading
with shot and shell, cannon and car
riage and hamper.
1t will be remembered that a short
time ago the Navy Department held an
auction sale of old junk ut the navy
yard That sale included all the con
demned and worthless ordnance and
supplies at Fort Norfolk, and ST.
Helena, the obsolete guns, gun car
riageS, gun furniture and ammunition,
and amounted to several hundred tons
1t is this obsolete and useless stuff
which the Cumberland Is here to get
and carry to Boston, where 1t will be
rendered into scrap iron and brass junk
1t Is said the cannon will be broken up
and that by peculiar method, lie: the
guns filled with water, frozen solid,
plugged and burst by thawing. 1t may
be SO or 1t may be a fo'kcsle yarn-thc
choice Is free. After getting on the
Fort Norfolk pile of condemned stuff,
the Cumberland will be moved up TO ST.
Helena and finished off there. She has
nearly 600-ton carrying capacity, and

be curious one, dating back as it does
for the better part of half century.
What will be done with Fort Norfolk

Paris, Feb. 20--This election of M.
Loubet by single rollcall, and by repub-
licans only, is the greatest republican vic
tory since Grevy's walk over the course.
The new president comes from a part
of France where the Roman power lasted
longest, namely, Marsanne, in the depart
ment of the Drome. He gives the impress
sion of remote Latin origin and looks to
be solid, practical man who sees the
facts of life just as they are. As president
of the senate he has had official expert
ence that will be useful to him as presi-
dent of the republic, but he is essentially
plain, middle-class man, whose mind wis
sharpened by his practice at the bar in
the provincial town of Montellmar, in
the south of France. He is there most
popular, and everyone at Montellmar
counts himself a personal friend of Loubet,
who, as mayor, county councillor, deputy
and senator, always acted as the servant
OF the public.
He received 4s3 votes against 27O for
NJ. Meline.

about IL o'clock. Ten hours later he lay
dying in the gambling room of the Occur
d'Alene saloon, shot through the body
with bullet from revolver in the hands
of William Abb.
Lacey never spoke after being shot. The
murderer fired two more shots at his VIC
tim, then turned the revolver toward his
own head and fred one shot, the ball
missing him and imbedding itself in the
wall of the room. He then turned and
ran down the stairs, through the front
doors and west on Front street. He has
not been captured. Lacey died few
minutes after receiving his wound.
