MANY NEW NARShlpS
To Be Built In the Near Euture.-Con-
struCtlon Record To Be Broken
This yedr.-Flve Battleshlps, Six
Armored Cruisers. Three Pro.
tected Cruisers, and Five Sub
marine Boats.

The coming year promises to be the
best in the history Of the Navy depart
nsnt, SO far IS the construction of new
ships is concerned, says Washington
dispatch. Work 10 already under way
TO increase the navy, in accordance
with the recent legislation on the sub.
ject.
Five battle-ships, costing nearly
S., 900, 900 each. six great armored
high speed, three protected cruisers,
similar in design to the Olympia, and
five submarine boats represent the
programme which the Navy Depart
ment now has to dispose OF, and to ask
bids on. Every one of these craft will
be built at private yards.
With the large nun Der of ships al
ready on the stocks, and the vast
amount of commercial business being
executed, the prospects for an exceed
inely busy period in the ship building
world are most promising, and bid fair
to exceed in tonnage any previous re-
cord of the country.
1t has been decided to adhere to tn t
policy of letting all contracts for ship
building to private yards rather than
risk the dangers of delays and higher
cost by undertaking to build them at
the government yards.
With the construction of fourteen
ships in prospect, the yards will DO
crowded to more than their capacity,
but the preliminary work of designing
will be finished by next fall. Vacations
for Navy Department employees, of q
certain class, will in Consequence
be very brief this gu miner.
A partial agreement has been reach
ID to have the two new battle-ships Of
the same size and power as those au.
thorized last year. and for which plans
have been decided upon, and a circular
letter prepared asking for bids.
These vessels are over IA, 900 tons dis.
placement, have a speed of eighteen
knots and terrific battery power. They
are without the superimposed turrets,
and have 12-inch guns as the largest
caliber.
The cruisers will cost as much as the
battle-ships, are to be the equal II not
the superior of the finest of their class
in foreign services. Designs for these
ships will be drawn and it is contem-
plated to duplicate them for the GLASS
authorized this session. Thus six OF
the armorsd cruiser GLASS are to be
built, costing when In commission pro-
badly $50, 900, 900. The three protected

FIGHTING FOR LIFE.
Flames Penned a Man On a Narrow
 Window Ledge. g., -..

Chicago, Nov 15.-Screaming with agony and framed with flames that biazed forth from the second story window, Thomas knoetka fought for his life last night on a narrow ledge of Libby, McNeil & Libby's tank and lard rendering building, in full view of hundreds of spectators who were powerless to aid him. Too frightened to notice that the ground was but hf- teen feet beneath, and deaf to the cries directing him to jump, he struggled against the sheets of fire that curled around him, singing his face, arms and body.
 Finally. with clothes ablaze, and as the firemen were putting up ladder, he leaped to the pavement. Besides being seriously burned he was inter nally injured from the fall. His ex- pected death will make two fatalities due to the fire. While hurrying to the scene James Breeland was run over and killed by freight train of the Pennsylvania road.
 The fire. which was located in the very heart of the stock yards, endan- pered millions of dollars worth Of property. and was by hard work con fined to the rendering building. The loss will not reach $50,O0O.

There Was Plenty of Rusiness Before

 There was not sufficient room ifl the dock of the city court to hold all the. prisoners that were before the court this morning. ' The i public benches were also. crowded and in a short time the atmosphere of the place was stiff ling Frank rPisano was charged with. Keeping house of ill-fame, and his wife, Lulu, and Eliza Northrop, were charged with living therein, and Will liam Bruso and Joe Rosso with ire quenting it. The above were gathered in raid upon Pisano's place, which is Q saloon at 299 Bank street. The pc lice testified that they were informed that when Pisano was coming to town some months ago that he would start a place of doubtful reputation. They found loaded 32-caliber revolver on the bar. and this Pisano stated he kept to defend himself against his bartend- CT, who had threatened to kill him. H. B. Northrop, of 12S North Elm Fstreet. testified that he is Mrs Pisano's father and that he was the complain ing witness. He had the place raided for obvious reasons therefore Pisano

 James B. Lawton was sentenced to sixty days in jail for assaulting his wife. Judge Cowell assisted in the prosecution of this case and called the accused a brute and other names of the same import. The Lawtons ap- peared to be respectable people and drink was the source of their difficult ties.
 An old woman named Ellie Lacour- siere was charged with keeping a house of ill-fame. and Mrs Margaret Ward and Joseph Hurley with being freqnenters of it. The defense was singular but the accused were found guilty and the alleged keeper was fined $25 and costs and the others $1O and costs each.
 There wasyno evidence against Mi chael Donahue and Mrs Lizzie Gun tningham, showing they were guilty of misconduct, and sentence was there fore suspended. The woman, how ever, was sentenced to thirty days in jail for intoXication. She made a scene after sentence was passed

THs -rnona FAILURE
Sudden Death of Heads of Two
 Firms the Cause.

NEW YORK, Nov 15.-The cause of the Strong failure has been made public by Butler, Notnan Joline S5 Mynderse, counsel for the firm in the action for the receivsrsbip, which resulted in the ap- pointment of Edward A. Treat.
 Counsel said that the Strong firm had indorsed more than $5oo, GOO in notes for the Stott Woole1 mills, for which the firm was agent, and that the odd circum- stances of the death of former Mayer Strong and of F. H. Stott, heads of the two concerns, within three days sf each other had brought about crisis by dis solving both firms at . moment when large suns were due. The Stott mills are located in Ststtville, N. Y.
 One nete indorssd for tks Stett cen- pany fer $1o0,oOo ia due today. Other notes fer nearly half million are due soon. The Stott cemPany, in which tke Strong company is largely interested, counsel said, had indsrsed notes of the Strong company in return, but for an in- sf1niAcaat aNount, probably less than $1O0, eco in all.
 If either Mir. Strong CT Mir. Stett had lived, the difficulty might have been set tied without public embarrasswent," said the representative sf the csVRssl.
 MT. StronE had been sick man for years" he continued. He was in bed seven months of the year. Besides, he devoted much time to public and banking affairs. The indorsing of the notes was done by bis partners, but with his full knowledge and consent. There is no de sire to shift responsibility for the condi- ton of the business. We cannot say, of course, what action will be taken in re- gard to winding up the business of the .Stott company, but it is the debts of that concern rather than those of Strong & Co. that have brought about tine present condition. The Stott partnership is dis solved the same as that of Strong & Co.,

DEATH OF MRS LYNCH.
Was One of Waterbury's Best Known
 Catholic Residents.

CdIHO1lc leSlueuIS.
 Mrs Ellen Lynch died late yester- day afternoon at her home, 2S Pleas ant street. after an illness of about. four weeks. She leaves three sons and three daughters, Frank. John and William Lynch; Mrs C.. F.s Mahoney, ,4 Mrs Fred Furness and Miss Annie. Lynch; also one sister, Mrs Catherine, Hanley. Mrs Lynch was one of the old residents of Waterbury and had wide circle of relatives and friends who will regret to learn of her death. She was pleasant, good-natured wo- man, who made friends with all who came in contact with her and held them to the end so that it comes to the lot of but few people to live to a ripe age in one place and then pass over to the silent majority leaving be- hind them more warmer personal friends than did this good christian woman, who always aimed to do right by herself and her neighbors and who never appeared happier than when she was performing kindyaetslfor those who stood in need of helping hand. She was one of the staunch members of the Immaculate Conceptioni church and until her health failed, a constant attendant at the services held there. The funeral will take place from the house at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to the Immaculate Conception church, where mass of requiem will be cele- brated. The interment will be in the family plot in St Joseph's cemetery.

ROANOKE, Va, Nov. 15.-Virginia college, an institution for young ladies situated just outside the city limits of Roanoke, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour yesterday. A short time after the rising bell had been rung it was discovered that the railways of the big building were filled with smoke Word was quickly passed around, and the young ladies, 15o in number, made their way out, many of them thinly clad, hard ly any with anything more than the sim plest costumes of the bedroom. The fire started in the boiler room, exactly how is not known. It made quick work, and in less than two hours the buildings were entirely destrsysd. The desks frsm the business oace and . few articles of furni- turs were about all that was saved. The building was of brick anA fitted with all modern coRveliencss.

TROUBLE ABOUT HORSES.
Fire Horses Being Used by the Street. Department.

D6I)1TImolt.
 It looks now as though there might be, big battle any day between the board of public works and the board of public safety regarding the price to be paid to the fire department for the use of two fire horses which B. B. Kelley has been using on the street department. The board of public safe ty. takes the ground that the depart ment should receive some return for the use of the horses. but the board of public works does not look at the mat ter in that light. On the contrary, some of them believe that the fire de pertinent ought to pay the street depart ment handsomely for getting the hors- es in shape so that any one can han dle them. While it is not likely that there will be law over this matter, still it is occasioning a good deal of sharp talk between the two boards and if it is not settled soon there will be an all around row between the mem bers of these boards and the superin- tendent of streets. To-day Commis- sioner Kleinecke. of the board of pub lie safety, asked Mir Kelley if anything had been done towards coming to an understanding about the amount due the fire board for the use of the horses. Not that I know of," replied the su- perintendent of streets. T think your board ought to be satisfied to get out of this thing even. The horses were no good when we got them. but they are all right now and don't see what more you ought to expect" This made the commissioner mad, and he walked away. declaring that it was not going to stop at that, and perhaps it will not. <.--. -
