FOR RAISING THE MAINE.
COffer-Dam Scheme to be Used
by the Chicago Contractors.

COffer-Dam Scheme to be Used
by the Chicago Contractors.
Applicants in steady stream
have responded to an advertisement
for 100 men to work on the wreck OF
the battleship Maine in the harbor
OF Havana, says Chicago dispatch.
Only skilled mechanics and men ex-
perienced in directing construction
or wrecking work are being employ
ed in Chicago. Cubans will be used
for the common labor. The Chica-
go complement is about completed
and will be started for Cuba within
a few days.
N. f. Chamberlin, president of
Chamberlin & Co., 225 Dearborn
street, the firm which has the con-
tract for raising, is in New York
buying machinery. He has already
sent superintendent and several
men to Havana to make prepare
tions for the building of the great
coffer-dam around the wreck. The
dam is to be constructed wholly OF
alternate layers of brush, sacks
Of sand, rocks and earth.
There will be no piles used. The
wall will be thirty-five feet high
and at the bottom eighty feet wide,
narrowing at the top to fifty-five
feet. The inner face of the wall will
be perpendicular. The slope will be
on the outside, so as to offer most
effective resistance to the pressure
of the water, when that which is
within the inclosure is pumped out.
The contractors estimate the cost of
the undertaking at $4,000 and ex-
pect to complete it before July 1st.
The firm OF Chamberlin & Co. in
cludes, it is said, several prominent
men, who do not desire their names
to appear in connection with the
undertaking. The coffer-dam plan
Of raising wrecks is said to have
originated with Mr.. Chamberlin
in 1888, when he raised Missouri
river steamboat. In that case there
was twelve-mile current to con-
tend with, while there is little cur
rent in the water surrounding the
Maine.

Unfortunately the heavy rains have
handicapped the movement of British
troops from the north. The country
is reduced TO swamp. The rise OF
the Orange river behind the Beers.
which ought to have been an advan-

ate to-day to the temporary displace-
ment of the ship subsidy bill, but il
is not expected there will be an effort
to keep the bill before the senate be.
yond to-dayif it fails to beacted upon.
There is every reason to believe it will
fail. Indeed, there is quite a general
understanding that after to-day thers
will be very little consideration given
to any measures except appropriation
bills and conference reports. Tho
river and harbor bill, it is now under.
stood, will be reported next week. AL;
the appropriation bills to come carry
large appropriations and some Of
them more or less general legislation.
There is considerable pressure on tho
friends Of the subsidy bill to with
draw it, but so far they have declined
to yield, taking the position that il
was more desirable to have the bill
defeated by democratic antagonism
than to have it voluntarily withdrawn.

Dyersburg, Tenn, Feb. 1o.--lNred
King, negro charged with murder
ons assault upon Miss Elsie Arnold,
the daughter of a prominent physi-
clan, was lynched by mob of citi-
zens shortly after noon yesterday.
King, after being tracked by blood
hounds, was arrested and was given
trial before l2 prominent citizens.
After testifying in his own behalf the
negro finally confessed his guilt and
implicated Bee Montgomery. another
negro. King was taken to tree
near the courthouse and strung up.
Rumors were rife that several negroes
had been lynched, but these state
ments are without foundation. Mont.
gomery' who was implicated by King,
has been arrested and is in the city
Jail.
