New Sharon, Aug. 9.-The trouble
which has been brewing for some time
over the affairs OF the New Sharon
Produce Company eliminated in the
arrest of Il. r. Crawford, the former
manager, at Hampton last evening.
Crawford was taken from his berth in
an Iowa Central sleeping car, en- route
to Minneapolis. The charge against
Crawford is forgery in connection with
the affairs of the produce company, but
the nature of the alleged forgery is not
known, as the matter has been care
fully concealed from the public. There
has been no chang of ownership in the
company. There appears to have been
dispute recently as to the ownership
OF some of the company's funds and.

ure. Nothing verv definite resulted and
Crawford was discharged. Last night
Crawford came up to New Sharon and
going to livery stable hired man to
take him to Grinnell, where he pur-
chased a ticket, it is said, for Mime
apolis. Officers and those interested in
the company got wind of his going and
Immediately instituted proceedings to
have him brought back, as above relat-
ed. He was taken TO Grinnell this
morning and 1t Is presumed he will be
taken to Oskaloosa for preliminary
hearing. L. T.. Sherman, president Of
the produce company and banker
here, is said to have been principally
interested in the investigation and arr
rest of Crawford. Considerable interest
is manifested in the outcome of the
case, as Crawford has hitherto borne a
good reputation.

MINIATURE WARSHIPS.
A Toy Fleet BUILT by Maine Boy
Who In IA Genius in Their
Construction.

Some years ago George b. Moody, of
Bangor, began to be interested in
things of the sea. He now owns a feet
of wooden ships such as probably does
not exist elsewhere in the world.
These war vessels are built upon the
proper principles of naval science.
They are about five feet in length on an
average, the battleships being shorter.
Away up in the garnet of fine old
fashioned home the boy has spent days
upon days of combining labor. First he
draws the plans of the ship, designing
each frame and timber, and finally
drawing working schedule of her
parts. This he prints phofographically
in blue, as the regular architects do
and hangs it on the wall of his shop.
Then comes the putting together of
the craft. Timbers are cut from small
sticks of pine and spruce, with cedar
for the thinner parts, and the hull is
gradually nodded into form on lines
that would satisfy the. taste of the
most particular constructor of Uncle
Sans corps. AT first the ships would
not sit trim in the water. Small waves
would keel them over ANONYMOUSLY.
Notifications were necessary, and
were made after careful study with
models towed astern of rowed boats in
the Penobscot river.
All of his ships are fitted with water.
tight compartments-actu tight
they are, too, and with decks and in
terror fittings. The guns are of brass.
and can be fired, though of course they
are muzzle-loading. There are anchors
tit to hold the craft in the heaviest
blow, revolving turrets. metal gun
shields, compasses, windlasses. ammu-
milton hOists and tackle for working
the practical cranes, with which tiny
and correctly designed steam launches
are taken inboard from the side.
The cruisers are lightly built, with
out armor, but the battleships are ar
mored with block tin, carefully fitted,
and proof against the attacks of small
shot. There are fighting tops fitted
with tiny machine guns, coming
towers, flying bridges and everything
else to be seen on the proper warship,
all built securely and with a view to
actual use.
Every ship of the fleet has been in
deep water and in heavy seas. Not one
is accepted by Admiral Moody until it
has had its trial in the rough waters of
Penobscot bay, towed astern of a row.
boat for one hour without a pause
The craft are seaworthy to the last de
gree. No wave can upset them, though
it sweep from stem to stern and smash
their fragile fittings. The Bangor was
out in a heavy blow off Islesboro last
summer, and she carried away her
flying bridge and starboard and search
light, besides filling her forward COM
partment with water, but she came
ashore safely.-Harper' Round Table.

LYDDITE SHELLS.
The Superiority of the Shells Used by
the English I'm the
sOudan.

According to the accounts received
from those who participated in the re-
cent Soudan campaign, the destructive
power of the lyddite shells was enor-
nous and far exceeded any desultS
previously attained. In an incredibly
short time earthworkS were destroyed,
leaving breaches through which the
shrapnel or man-killing shells could
be fired. and the work of destruction
thus completed. The experience of the
whole campaign leaves no room for
doubt that lyddite is by far the most
efficient shell explosive known.
1t is a very difficult problem to as
certain the numerical superiority of
lyddite over other explosives 1t is GER
tainly six times more powerful than
nitroglycerin, which in turn is at
least eight times more powerful than
the same weight of gunpowder. Fur
ther, all experience shows that its eff
fects are spread over a much greater
area than in the case of nitroglycerin
or dynamite, which are intensely local
in their action. 1t has been frequently
enormously stated that lyddite or
melinite may be used as a substitute
for cordite or gunpowder in propelling
projectile; such could not be the case,
however, as the explosion takes place
so rapidly that the chamber of the gun
would be inevitably shattered. Prob
ably one of the greatest advantages of
lyddite is its absolute safety to handle,
which we can realize when we recall
it's use in the arts for over century
without its powers being even suspect
ed. In this respect, combined with its
superlative destructive capacities,
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive
for shells and it is safe to predict that
it will play an extremely important
part in the great military operations
of the future.-BoSton Globe.
