RIoroUs FEMALE PRISONERS.
Jail Make q Vicious Assault Upon
the Matron and warden.

New York, Dec. 2s.-Twenty mad
dened female prisoners in the Ray
mond street Jail, Brooklyn, rioted
yesterday and fiercely assaulted Ma
tron Fannie Handy and Warden Nc
Grath. There was no attempt to es-
cape. The riot was the consequence
of nothing but i'll feeling. Miss Handy
was transferring the prisoners from
one corridor to another in the wom-
ans section when she was attacked
by Nellie Jones, a powerfully built
woman, who had been sentenced to
Is days for intoxication. Miss Handy
was felled. Nineteen other prisoners
then assaulted her. While the blows
rained thick upon her head and body
she managed to push a button that
rang bell in the warden's Office.
Warden McGrath rushed to the wom-
ans department without waiting to
call for assistance. AS he entered the
corridor he diverted the attention of
the Infatuated women and they
jumped on him. The blows were fast
and furious and McGrath went to the
floor. Hat pins were brought into
play and his face, head and neck were
gouged. Miss Handy made her way
through the crowd and again rang
the alarm. The sheriff, under sheriff
and five deputies replied. They had
much trouble in subduing the wom-
en-, but succeeded, and two of them
were placed in straight Jackets The
others were put in separate cells and
then the prison physician was called
to attend the wounded warden and
the matron.

WITH CEREMONIAL sPLENDoR
Exercises Attending the Inauguration of
President Mckinley Expected to Eclipse
All Previous Efforts in That Line.

Washington, Dec. 26.-President Nc
Kinley's second Inauguration, on
March 4 next, will be marked with a
ceremonial splendor never before at
tempted in the city. The inaugural
committee, of which John j. Edison
is chairman, intends to make the in
auguration a magnificent spectacle.
The navy, for the first time in an
inaugural ceremony, will be repre-
sented. In command of Admiral
Dewey, all the warships in eastern
waters will be ordered to Washing
ton and steam up the Potomac river.
Military will be the main feature
of the parade. The committee has
invited state organizations to par
ticipate, and from the responses it is
probable that more militia bodies will
be in line than ever before. The reg
ular troops around Washington will
be brought here. The cadets from the
military and naval academies also will
be in attendance. Civic bodies will
be well represented, but the object of
the committee will be to make the
parade as military as possible. Hun
dreds of applications have been. re-
ceived from rough rider clubs that
wish to participate.

Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with

words strong enough to express her
gratitude. She has written the follow

Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are the
greatest kidney and heart medicine
ever used. I had been troubled for over
three years with a severe pain in nv
heart, which entirely disappeared after
l had taken few doses of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. 1 also gave them to my little
girl, whose kidneys had been weak.

THE RICHARDSON CASE.
The establishment of the Innocence OF q
Business Partner3The Dead millionaire
Enamoured of a Young woman.

ST. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Two sensa-
tions resulted yesterday from the evil
dence adduced at the inquest over the
murder of Frank Richardson, the mill
ionaire merchant, who was shot down
in his home at Savannah Christ
mas eve. The first sensation was testi-
mony establishing the probable inno-
cence of the business partner of the
murdered man, who has been under
suspicion as the murderer, it having
been alleged that the partner, just
previous to the murder, was accused
by Richardson of undue intimacy with
Mrs. Richardson. The second sensa-
ton was the fact that the testi-
mony tended to fix the re-
sponsibility for the crime on a
woman and her adviser, a travelling
man, who are alleged to have black
mailed the deceased out of various
sums of money, covering a period of
almost a year.
Charles Stanton, superintendent of
the electric light station, testified
that Richardson was very much af-
fected of Goldie Whitehead, a young
woman who resided at Stanberry.
Mo-, with whom Mr.. Richardson had
been on intimate terms and who APP
peared to be bounding him for money.
Sensational evidence is expected to-
day.

A SALOON WRECKED.
HRS. Carrie Nation Tries to Draw Attention
to the Violation of the Prohibition
Law in Kansas.

Wichita, Kan, Dee. 28.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation, chronic saloon smasher,
who with scraps of iron, rocks and
billiard balls, wrecked the Carey
hotel bar, including a $500 picture of
Cleopatra at the Bath, yesterday, sent
two demands to the sick bed of Gov.
Stanley for him, as governor of the
state, to come to the city Jail and
take charge of her defense. On Stan
ley's refusal she telegraphed for Jerry
Simpson, her old neighbor, at Medi-
cine Lodge. With a Ratchet Mrs. Ma

WITHOUT VALUE
Fifteen Million Dollars Wasted on
Coast Defense Guns.
Battleships Do Not Fear Them and Army
and Navy Men Say 1t Is Impossible to
Aim the MOrtars at Nov
ing Vessel.

Washington, Dec. 26-Strenuous eff
forts are being made by certain in
terested parties to prevent an expo
sure of one tremendous item of ex-
traVagance which has accumulated
from year to year in the work of for
tifying the coasts of the United States.
1t is not generally known, but there
are corporate influences which have
been exerted upon congress year after
year for the express purpose of in
ducing that body to provide money
for the building and installation of
large number of rifed mortars for
coast defenses.
There are now in position or under
construction 372 of these mortars,
and the total number contemplated
under the general coast defense
scheme is no less than 500. These NOR.
tars cost an average of about $4,000
each, SO that the cost of the mortars
themselves will aggregate fully &c.
100000. To place these guns in posi-
ton, providing them with the neces-
sary carriages and the usual heavy
emplacenlents, costs more than as
much again.
penditure on account of 12-inch NOR
tars when the present coast defense
scheme is completed will be not far
from $15,OOO,OOO. This enormous ex,
penditure would be justified as a nee
essary feature of the defense of our
coasts, but inquiry among both ar
my and navy gunnery experts de-
veloped the fact that in their opinion
Oh ,4o1rr
for the purposes for which they are
intended. Distinguished ordnance
officers admit that there is not a
mortar in existence which can be de-
pended upon to drop its shell any
where within a radius of about ten
times the length of an ordinary war
ship.
It is an open secret in both the
navy and war departments that the
average battleship would think moth
ing at all of sailing right up against
a whole battery of mortars, whereas
it would hesitate to encounter sin
gle 12-inch rife. The mortar bat
terry fires its shell up in the air at
distance of several miles, and it is not
an eXtravagant statement to say that
there is not one chance in thousand
of the shells striking a battleship
moving even at the lowest rate of
speed.
1t is impossible to aim these NOR
tars at a moving ship, and even the
range finders are of slight assistance.
Naval experts estimate that battle
ships are in more danger of being
struck by lightning than a hostile
blow from all the mortars in the
world. There are now in position
24O of these 12-inch mortars, scatter
ed along the coast and supposed to
guard important ports on the Allan
tic, gulf and Pacific coast. Besides
that the mOrtars take as much care
as a rified cannon.
Gunnery experts will not talk for
publication on this subject, but it is
a well understood fact that the scan
dial has reached the ears of President
Mckinley, who has determined to put
a stop to the construction of these
useless guns, which bear the same re-
latiOn to a modern rified cannon that
the old musket does to the Krag-Jor-
gensen or the Mauser.
