ELECTRIC MARVELS.
Appliances For Moving Turrets and
Guns of the Kearsarge.

Much has been written about the
II ,500-ton seagoing battle ship Kear-
sarge, but little has been said of the
remarkable electrical features pos
sessed by this fighting craft. An cleo
trical engineer has made a study of the
electrical departments of the vessel,
and his report, which appears in the
Electrical Review, is something of a
revelation.
The central electrical power plant
aboard the Kearsarge is just abaft the
main engines. Because of the eXigen-
cies of battleship design and allotted
space to the electrical machinery is
necessarily small and required there
fore an original installation.
There are seven generating sets
mounted in two tiers, three above and
four below. There is a main distrib-
uting board located on the starboard
side of the upper gallery of the genera
tor room, and seven other distributing
boards scattered about the ship. The
scattering of the boards was made nee
essary by the confined space in the
generator room.
The three wire system prevails on
all of the circuits, with 80 volts be-
tween neighboring wires and $50 volts
outside. There are about 800 incandes-
cent lights connected with the S0-volt
mains, and the four powerful search
lights derive their current from the
same mains. Every auxiliary bit of
power on the ship, with the exception
of the windlass and steering gear, is
electrically produced by 55 large mo-
tors. Even the great steel turrets are
moved by electric power, as well as the
guns, which are elevated or depressed
by the mere touching of a button.
The heavy turret, with it's two o.
inch and two 13-inch guns, can be COM
pletely revolved in about 40 seconds.
required for this purpose. Shunt mo-
tors are used to revolve the ventiIating
fans and work the pumps, and motors
operate the rammer heads for the 10
inch guns, boat and ammunition hoists
and small windlasses. In fact, one can
touch button or pull lever in most
any part and develop power when
ever required.
Other electric auxiliaries en- the ship
include the Ardois signal lights, tele-
phones connecting throughout every
part of the ship, themostalc and other
fire alarms and signal bells of every
description. Even the steering gear.
while not dependent upon electric pow
er, is equipped with an ingenious cleo
trio arrangement for use in cases of
failure OF the hydraulic mechanism

A REMARKABLE LOUISIANIAN.
Amassed Fortune of $10,0OO,OO0 and
Never Learned to Read.

The most remarkable man who has
developed in Louisiana in the last
half century died in this city tonight.
He was Leon Godchaux, who came to
Louisiana young Jewish peddler
from Bavaria, without the vestige of
an education, and who by a phenom-
email business instinct amassed q for
tune of nearly $1O,OOOOO0, and won the
admiration of the entire business
community. Only in recent years was
GodchauX able to write mis- own name,
and he never learned to read.
At the time of his death he was be-
yond doubt the highest sugar planter
in America, and he it was who de-
veloped the sugar business in it's pres
ent centralized system and caused the
abandonment of the old-time in
divldual plantation sugar houses.
which added much TO the pictur-
esqueness of the sugar business, but
were a great loss to the state OUTPUT.
When Godchaux first came to
Louisiana it was with a pack on his
shoulders, which he carried from plan
tation to plantation along the
Mississippi river, and he was
driven off as vagrant from
some of the plantations which he
afterward acquired. 1t is said in fact
that the young man shook his fist at
one arrogant planter and vowed he
would own the planters home. This he
did. Godchaux first entered into the
clothing business in New Orleans and
his establishment is still the largest in
the city. Later he embarked in the
sugar business, and exhibited a
shrewdness in his operations that
easily ranked him as the most expert
sugar man in the state. His business
rapidly widened, although not
owning as many actual sugar lands
as the recently deceased Gen. Porcher
Miles.
Mr.. Godchaux was born in Herb
vllliers, France, in 1S2O.-New Orleans

is as safe in San Domingo as he is in
New York-safer when the trolley and
cable cars are considered.
1.-THE chief cause of dissatisfaction
and uprising in San Domingo is the
currency question. A man who has
the man the natives are looking for as
president. Jiminez is hardly the man.
He is we'll known in New York, Ham
burg, London and Paris, where his
banking houses have suspended. The
chief products of San Domingo are to-
bacco, chocolate, fruits, wood, honey,
beeswax and hides. The best mahog-
any in existence grows there. Ma
hogany is the scarcest and most valu-
able timber known to the lumber
trade. The tobacco crops OF this year
will be $4,000 sefons, of l40 pounds
each. The country is in fine sanitary
condition, the interior furnishing ex-
cellent springs for drinking water.
while rain water is caught in shallow
vessels for drinking purposes in the
cities. There is nothing offensive in
the way of sewage in any of the towns.
notwithstanding the fact that there are
as yet no waterworks i'll the Republic
of San Domingo, except at points along
our railroad.
LAS to the peopie-the country peo-
pie l mean-at first the boys and girls
go abroad perfectly nude The first
article of apparel is invariably hat;
the next pair of shoes. After awhile
the boys wear a belt and knife, and
the girls short dresses.
Notwithstanding the present insur-
rection, commerce is not affected. San
Domingo was never so prosperous as at
the present time. The present gener-
alton does not inherit the revolution
airy propensities of the last and former
generations. The country people do
not want to fight, either for the govern
ment or against it, and not infrequent-
ly, in order TO avoid military service
they take to the BUSH"

WHITE RULE WANTED.
A Revolt Against a Black Minority In
Santo Domingo.

Andriano Grullon, a representative
in New York of the revolutionists of
San Domingo, who is now in New
York, said to Tribune reporter:
This revolution is an effort of the
white men to wrest the control of the
government from the colored element.
Heureux was negro; Ffguereo is al
so a negro, and practically all the men
in power are negroes. In short, the
negro is supreme in the government.
Notwithstanding that the pure whites
of the island-that is, those descended
from Europeans and Indians-compose
two-thirds of the population. But
nero rule might have been tolerable
had not the negroes virtually under
taken to drive the whites out. By op-
preston, confscation, Imprisonment.

to make the island a place a white man

comprise also the majority of the edu-

have concluded to take things into
their own hands and institute a de-
cent government. Jiminez was on ex-
cellent terms with Heureux, but Jim
inez was the only Dominican whom
Heureux feared. Jiminez built a canal.
diverted river to its old mouth at
Monte Christi, reclaimed a large log

turn received from the government a
title to all the district. Then Jiminez
exported logwood, and it was the foun-

manding more. He refused to give
again, and he and Heureux ceased to

THE PAIGES RICH AGAIN.

EX-Congrcssman Wins His Claim For
New York Aqueduct Contract.
Akron. o.. Oct. 24.-As the result
Of a decision made in the New York
court Of appeals David r. Paige, for
merly congressman from this district,
and now living in New York, and his
brother, City Commissioner Albert T.
Paige. Of this city, will become rich
again.
About ten years ago the Paiges and
General d. NJ. Carey. of Cleveland
composing the firm of Paige. Carey &
Co., had contracts for six miles Of the
Croton aqueduct In New York city.
When the work was concluded claims
for about S7.O0O.OO0 for extras were
thrown out and payment was refused
OF this amount Paige, Carey & Co.
held nearly $2.000,00O. On top Of this
came the explosion regarding over
100000 worth Of paper given by d.
r. Paige. and bearing the endorse
ment OF Millionaire John Huntington,
Of Cleveland. Huntington was on his
deathbed in Europe. and died before
he could testify whether or not the
notes were genuine. After his death
his executors refused to honor the
notes. claiming that the endorsements
were forgeries.
Paige fed to South America. In 1896
he returned and compromised the Hunt
ingtOn notes. He then devoted all his
energies to securing a decision In the
courts In regard to the aqueduct work
which he has now secured.
