|(lLD WAR RELICS
Two Twenty-Pound Parrot Guns Arrive
at Wooster.
VALUABLE HISTORICAL WEAPONS

cOla's Armament.

Wooster, Jan. 10.--Two 20-pound parrot
cannon each weighing 1,700 pounds.
have arrived in Wooster, these guns
being feet long, shipped here from the
U. s. navy yard at New York city on
the Pennsylvania railroad.
These relics of the war were secured
for Wooster, through the efforts of
Lieut.. VIM. RI. Woodland, Andrew Bran
stetter and l. II. Myers for Given Post
G.. A.. r., who were much aided by Con-
gresham Hon. John A. Mcdowell and
also by William werntz of the u. S.
ordnance department at Washington.
With these guns also came 80 solid
iron cannon balls of Ga pounds weight
each. including three shells of same
calibre, which are projectiles for much
larger cannon, but which are also
valuable relics. the balls, altogether,
weighing nearly a ton, and will make
q pyramid when arranged in position
with the cannon, which is the intention
to do in time.
These cannon are genuine and were
historically used on the u. S. war ship
Pensacola, which steamer was in SER
vice through the war from 1861 to 1855,
IL being in Admiral Farraguts s fleet
all along the Atlantic coast, engaging
many times with Confederate forts
and vessels, during which 81 men
were killed and wounded on its deck
while operating these guns now in
Wooster. The Pensacola was present
when the Union flag was hoisted on
the mint at New Orleans and she re-
mained as receiving ship at or near
Natu hn pln nf
war, her officers being Commodore II.
II. Bell, Commodore James o. Palmer
and Commander ]. II. Strong.
A large number OF the old soldiers
headed by Post Commander Capt. j. B.
Taylor, went to the p. FIT. w. & G.
railroad station. and with reverence
placed the cannon and projectiles
there on wagons. each wagon being
decorated with flags, and then, in
column with banners. under command
of Capt. w. o. Beebe, the column
marched up Liberty street and across
the square. saluted by crowd of cti-
Zens lining the pavements all the way.
and by blowing of steam whistles of the
electric light works and Barretts ma
chine shops, made spectacle and noise
that attracted all citizens. The march
ended by the cannon and projectiles
being placed in the warehouse CT Cap,
J. II. Kauke, on West Liberty street.
1t is hoped to obtain two more cannon,
one of the Spanish war.
Where the. cannon will be placed
has not been decided, and it will take
several months to settle that. Tsjafter
he two other cannon are secured, If
that result can be accomplished.
The general popular opinion Is that
the next Fourth of July will be the ap-
propriate date on which to hold the
ceremony and celebration of putting
the cannon in position. and make big
day of 1t in Wooster.

TOO EXTRAVAGANT.
Peculiar Manner In Which Defsulter
Was Detected.


Was Detected.
The manner IN which one defaulting
cashier was detected was rather pecul
lar. II was all due to the curiosity Of
the women OF bis nelghborhood. He
went to no expense In the way Of dress
ing, they never, heard Of his gambling
or drinking to any extent he was a
model husband but he loved a good
table. There was nothing unusual In
this, but one day when the ladies Of
the vicinity were discussing the best
method Of cooking meats the wife Of
the cashier declared very innocently
that her husband dotted on ham. but he
would not eat 1t unless 1t had been
boiled In champagne. "Boiled In cham.
pagnew exclaimed the listeners. "Heav-
ems, how expensive! We couldn't af-
ford to have ham on our table often II
we cooked 1t that way"
1t was soon noised all around the
neighborbood that Cashier Blank was
high liver indeed, and the men began
telling of his uplifted ideas of cookery.
This soon reached the ears Of the di.
recfors Of the bank. and they conclud-
ed 1t might be wise to investigate the
accounts OF such an epicure. Plain
water was pll they could afford for
their hams sp the champagne lover
was called up and subsequently rele-
gated TO the pen. where he had to fore
60 his pet dish for many, many weary
days.-LouisvIlle Times.
