A SERIOUS MATTER.
The Condition of the Jail Something To
Be Looked Into.

The Condition of the Jail Something To
Be Looked Into.
1t has possibly never been suggested
to the Committee on Public Property Of
the city what n dangerous place the
city Jail it, and perhaps but few people
have any idea of what death trap it
is-both the upper and lower parts of
the building. There is but one way of
ingress or egress, and that is the main
stairway. to get up stairs and through
the Mayors office down stairs. Sup
pose ,aS an illustration, that fire should
break out in the hall up stairs. All
means of getting down that way for the
jailer and the prisoners would be cut
off. then there is no other way to get
out. The persons in the cells are faS-
tered up, the windows in the corridors
are all barred and as there is nothing
up there with which the bars could be
forced off, the result would be that n
could reach them. 1t is urged by those
in position to know. that the matter is
n serious one, and should be looked
into before some disaster of the kind
befalls us. 1t has been suggested that
Il door could be cut in the hall between
where the white and colored prisoners
arc kept and a small porch be built on
the outside that could be used in res
cuinS prisoners by means of ladders or
ropes. Perhaps it might be necessary
a some time TO take the jailer's family
out that way. There is window in
the hall, and the cost of changing it
to door would be small. and really
nothing compared to the value of hu-
man life. Frequently some of our best
citizens are confined, and they would
be in danger at all time. 1t is only
good luck that such n disaster has not
occurred. Some time ago one of the
cells was occupied by n man who had
box of matches with him, and neg
lected to take them with him when he
left. a few days afterwards some old
rags in the room caught fire at late
hour of the night and set fire to the
cell, and but for n woman who was in
cell opposite and saw the fire and
called for help and finally succeeded in
waking the jailer up. there would have
been trouble, and thcre is no telling

AN INTERESTING CAREER

An interesting visitor a, the Treasury
Department to-day was Chief Engineer
w. G. Wheeler. of the revenue cutter
service, now retired. Captain Wheeler
resides in Portsmouth, Va. He entered
the United States navy from Virginia
as third assistant engineer in 1917. and
was gradually promoted until 1SGI
when he was made chef engineer. He
resigned. however to accept service in
the Confederate navy. After the war he
secured an appointment in the revenue
cutter service. and has since done good
work Tor inc government. IF Captain

Consequently painting and cleaning
the good ship Raleigh has been aban-

tention to have the cruiser shed her
war paint of gray while here SO that
she might appear in shining white when
she entered New York harbor. The
hurry orders will prevent either this or
tne sprucing up of the ship, so when
the people of New York greet her she

BArTLEsH1ps COMING HERE.
Kentucky and Kearsarge VIII Receive
Secondary Batteries at MAYNARD.

IAehluChy anu hearSarSe VIII Receive
Secondary Batteries at Navy-Yard.
In another week the Newport News
ship-yard Will very probab bly, send to
the Washington gun foundry the order
for the powerful thirteen-inch guns
which are to be mounted on the battle
ships kearsarge and Kentucky. These
guns, as we'll as the eight-inch guns,
which will complete the main batteries
Of the two ships. were completed some
months ago and are now stored away
In the national gun foundry awaiting
the order of the shipyard. The eight
inch guns will not be sent for until
the thirteen-inch guns are in place. It
is expected that the latter will reach
the yard in the course of a month.
1t has been reported that the Ker-
sarge and Kentucky will soon go to
the Brooklyn navy-yard to have their
guns put on. This is q mistake. The
ship-yard contracted with the Govern
ment to deliver both ships at the Ports
mouth navy-yard when they arc in
condition to receive the secondary
battery, which is the only one put on
by the Government.
1t is possible after they are COM
pleted, with the main battery aboard
and the gun mounts for the secondary
battery in position. and they are ready
to be delivered to the Government.
that one of the vessels, the Kearsarge,
may go to Brooklyn. The boats and
other essentials for the Kearsarge, not
provided for in the contract. are being
made at the Brooklyn navy-yard, while
those for the kentucky are being made
at the Portsmouth navy-yard 1t is
the general impression here, however,
that both battleships will be fitted at
our yard.
One of the big turrete has been placed
IN position on the Kearsarge and the
other VIII be put on before Saturday.

Treasurer McCurdy cannot afford to
offer premiums for votes, despite the fact
that he handles county funds. His de-
votion to duty ought to be = better rec
ommendation, than soliciting votes with
chrome attachment. Mr.. McCurdy So
licits votes on his record as county treas
urer. He is not politician in any
sense and if he fails to ask you for your
v v.te, it is no argument whatever that hc
does not want it, for he does. He feels
now that his services are valuable to the
county and he can do more justice to the
treasurers records now than ever before.
Then above and greater than all else
there is a record of absolute and uucom-
promising probity, proven beyond doubt
or cavil whatever. This alone should
re elect him and we honestly believe it
