More Praise for the Commander of the
BrookIyn in Santiago Fight.
New York, Aug. 3.-A dispatch to
The Journal from Madrid says:
Lieutenant Enrique Capriz, ex-gov-
ernor of Santiago, who was on board
the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya during the
battle of Santiago in an attempt to es-
cape with the city records and treasure
of Santiago, in an interview regarding
Admiral Schley, said:
81 was on the bridge of the Vizcaya,
and saw the fight. l saw the Brooklyn
and from an excellent position observed
her movements. The Brooklyn at
tackled us, and it is ridiculous to say the
Brooklyn kept too far away or stayed
out of the fight.
"There can't have been cowardice-
where the ship engaged three of ours.
Eye witnesses of the battle are dyin6 If
and it is better to finally settle the
question now while enough witnesses
are living"

Quincy, Ills, Aug. 3.-State Fish
Commissioner Bartlett of this city, is
responsible for the statement that
enough fish have perished during the
recent heated season to have stocked the.
streams of the United States. He says
that over in the ponds and lakes in the
Illinois river bottoms there are acres az
dead fish lying on the surface of thS
water. In one pond where the water
averages one foot in depth there are 2O,-
600 black bass lying on the surface ahd
mosRof them died in one day, July sS,..
These ponds end lakes were formed by
the overflow of the Illinois river. They
cover an average space Of from 80 to
40 acres each. and were originally from

New York, Aug. 3.-The hackers OF
the new refinery which is being erected
at Edgewater, near Fort Lee, n. j., Oh
the shores of the Hudson river, opposite
the tomb of General Grant, are Robert
Crooks & Co., among the largest in1-
porters of refined sugar in this market
However, the fact that Robert Crooks
& Co., have been identified with foreign
sugars is not factor in the new cbm-
pany's policy, as the firm will merely
act as selling agents for the new refn-
cry. E. H. Laing, of the Robert Crook.
g. Co. said that the new company syonld
be known as the Knickerbocker Sugar
Refining company. =.
The refinery is to large ext 3nt a
western enterprise, a number of westI
ern wholesale grocers and merchants,
operating under a New Jersey chartex
being interested i'll the company. Geo
K. Ross of Cleveland, o., will probably
be offered the presidency and be the
official head of the company. Mr., Rosa
is president of the Ross & Sprague conR1
pany, wholesale grocers of Cleveland Y
The capacity of the refinery will be-
1900 barrels daily. The men interested
in the plant say they will have a dis
tributing outlet of their own for over
90 per cent of the output. 1t is not thu
intention of the concerns identified witk

Judge Hayden's Opinion on

Mrs. Sarah Lehman, widow of JOS
eph Lehman, In 1897 became Mrs
John Wesley Houser. Now she wantc
divorce and alimony from her sec
ond husband, and also !nts to be
restored to the name of her former
husband-Lehman.
In a petition fled in Common Pleas
Court she accuses Houser, her second
husband, Of extreme cruelty and lazi-
ness. She had two daughters by her
former husband, and she alleges that
Houser has called both herself and
daughters names so vile that they
could not be mentioned in the petit
tion. On one occasion she claims he
kicked in the door and tried to choke
her, and with reference to his alleg-
ed laziness, she states that he would
not even take care of the stock on her
farm, even standing idly by while
she curried the horses.
She has considerable property in
Coventry township, and states that
he not only spent all his own money
for drink, but tried to apply some of
the profits of her farm to purchase
liquor.
