Trial of Battleship Kentucky.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 25.-The
battleship Kentucky made an aver
age of 1886 knots per hour in her
trial Yesterday. In the entire run
out the tide was strong, against her
and as usual a "tide allowance
will be made. ThitnwiIl bring the
new battleship's speed up to fully
II knots. Her engines developed
Il. 600 horse power. The Kentucky
is sister ship of the Kearsarge,
and both are the product of the
Newport News Ship Building and
Dry Dock Company.
These two are the only battle
ships built with double or superim-
posed turrets. BY this device the
turrets fore and aft, not only mount
four 13-inch guns, but smaller tur.
rets above mount four 8inch guns.
The Kentucky is a Heating tort OF
solid steel. There is hardly enough
wood in the whole ship to start a
ERE.
After the speed trial came ex-
hibitions of the steering apparatus.
One of the twin screws went full
speed ahead, the other full speed
astern. The helm was thrown clear
over. She made a complete circle in
a little more than her own length.
The engines developed over $4,000
horse power. She proved herself
worthy, and the Star and Stripes
were run up to one masthead and a
big broom to the other.

The Hide Trade.

Texarkana as a hide market is
making quite lot of strides that
will findly put it in the fore rank of
more pretentious places. We have
a half dozen men here who pay par
ticular attention to this branch of
business and this makes hides, furs,
pelts and beeswax with tallow
bring full market prices, when the
holder put these men to bidding on
his holdings. Texarkana if the
proper steps were taken and the
surrounding country was rightfully
apprised of the fact, could be made
a market for all, many articles that
are shipped north and east to be
manufactured into useful articles,
Our greatness is not sufficiently ad-
vertised in this line. If those men
who deal in hides and furs would
send out price list as to what they
would give and then stick to their
prices offered, it would not be long
before they would have to erect
great warehouses for the storing of
their purchases for preparing them
tor shipment. Let some of our
hide men or all of them think the
matter over aud then act accord
ingly.
