ARMY AND NAVY MANEUvERS END IN
DECISIVE VICTORY &c. TIE NAVY

The great game Of war. the drst
ever played by the army and navy.
practically ended Sept. s by . spec
tacular attack on the forts guarding
the entrance to Narragansett bay.
Three battleships and cruisers ran
the guns Of Forts Adams and Wether-
ell, getting within broadside range
for al their guns before they were
discovered.
The exploit was SO daring, SO reci-
less Theoretically, and SO well ex-
ecuted that it Is the general opinion

titled to the credit Of winning q bril-
liant victory.

miral Higginson's attack on the Mar
ragansett forts. He had been de-
feated in . well planned attack dur
ing the afternoon. The army looked
for a second attack. but was not ex-
pecting 1t 80 early in the night.
The searchlights were kept at work
in the perfunctory way, however. and
q little before 10 o'clock they picked
up the ships standing into the har-
Dor under full head of steam. They
came in by the Narragansett Pier,
and it was not until they had passed
Beaver Tail point that the forts picked
them up.
The Brooklyn, which was supposed
to have been seriously injured by
striking an obstruction in New Bed
ford harbor the other day, was lead
ing. Behind came the famous Olym-
pia of Manila days. Then followed
the Kearsarge, Admiral Higginsons
flagship. Behind the Kearsarge was
the Alabama, one of the most eff
cient of the big fighters. and the
Massachusetts, which throughout the
maneuvers has made a proud record
for itself, brought up the rear. They
were steaming at better than ten
knots, which perhaps accounts for
the absence Of the Indiana from the
column, for that battleship is not in
condition to make any speed.
At top speed they came on, and held
their fire until the forts opened on
them. Instantly the Brooklyn replied
with it's forward turret guns. The
range was then $500 yards. 1t was
just 10 o'clock. The forts fired with
tremendous rapidity.
Each ship came into action as soon

Alarmed the Professor.

Prof. J. B. Smith, state entomolo-
gist of New Jersey, has a fine grove
of fruit trees in the grounds of his
home in New Brunswick. With the
view of preserving them from cater
pillars he doused them with a new
insecticide. The other morning early
he saw some boys in one Of his apple
trees and was Mortified at the thought
that the lads might be poisoned. He
turned in police ambulance call
and then rushed into the garden, half
dressed as he was, catching the boys
before they could get away. To his
great relief he found that they had
not eaten any and was glad to let
them scurry away just as the ambu-
lance dashed up.

as the forts opened, firing with the
starboard battery at Fort Adams and
with the port battery at Fort Wether-
ell. 1t was a clear night, with
heaven full Of stars. and the play of
the lights and the flashing of the
guns made it beautiful picture.
With almost incredible speed the
ships came on, and the roar of the
fight filled the city. The forts were
firing with all the speed they could
muster, but the game, at such short
range was against them, for the ships
had them at great advantage in the
number of their guns as well as in
the caliber.
1t was evidence when the ships
got so close before being fired upon
that they had won the victory, for
with their tremendous preponderance
of fire points they could have both
the forts put out before the forts
could score enough to stop a single
ship. The ships came through the

mendous clip and steamed straight on
up the bay. AS they passed beyond
the forts, one by one, they ceased fir
ing, the Alabama being the last to
quit hammering at the forts.
In less than twenty minutes 1t was
all over. When they got up into the
bay the ships turned on their running
lights again and began playing their
searchlights. They went above Co.
nanicut island and there made a turn,
coming down the bay again, and
passed out again by the forts they
had just run SO successfully. but this
time there was no shot fired.
Not only was this the most daring
and spectacular exhibition given by
Admiral Higginson's squadron, but
its success was such as to justify the
belief that the forts had but small
chance to escape destruction under
the same circumstances with hos

LIVING WITH HIS WIFE.
Yet Had to Pay Counsel Fees for Al
imony Proceeding.

Yet Had TO Pay Counsel Fees for Al
imony Proceeding.
A contempt proceeding in which there
entered elements of decided human in
terest was tried before Judge Barrow
yesterday. An attorney had a husband
ruled for contempt for failure to pay
counsel fees in an alimony proceeding.
and it developed during the hearing
that the husband was again living with
the wife.
Nearly two years ago there came such
disagreements and unhappiness into
the marital life of Mr.. and Mrs. Mack
o. Shuman that they separated and
Mrs. Shuman filed an application in
the Superior Court for permanent and
temporary alimony. At the hearing
upon the application for temporary ali
mony it was granted and Mr.. Shuman
was further directed to pay L. G. Har-
vey, counsel for his wife, the sum of
$50 as fees for conducting the litiga-
ton.
No part of the counsel fees was ever
paid and in February of last year Mr..
Harvey had Shuman ruled for con-
tempt. The defendant was instructed
TO make his appearance upon a day
named and show cause why he should
not be punished. However, he neither
paid the counsel fees nor appeared in
court on the day fixed in the order of
Judge Falligant
A few days since Mr.. Harvey CHANGED
to see the delinquent husband in the
CITY Court room. and nailed him at
once. An order was secured from
Judge Barrow, which directed Shuman
TO appear on yesterday and show cause
why he should not be punished, not
alone for the failure to pay the coun-
sci fees, but also for his refusal to an
swer the previously issued mandate of
the court.
Shuman said he was not in contempt.
really as 1t was poverty and not OBJ
stlnacy that had caused him to fail to
pay Mr.. Harvey what was owing. He
asked further, in view of the fact that
the alimony proceedings had been stop
ped by the reconciliation that had been
effected between his wife and himself.
that the fee allowed by Judge Falligant
should be scaled down.
This view of the matter appealed to
Judge Barrow. and he reduced the
amount to be paid to Mr.. Harvey from
80 to $l5. He directed, however, that
the defendant, in the event of his fail
ure TO. meet any one of the three in
stalments into which the fee is to be
divided promptly, shall be lust as
promptly placed under arrest.

M0TORMAN CLARK JUMPED.
Badly Injured in Collision Near
ROnnVenture Cemetery.

Badly Injured IN COLLISION Nehr
ROnnventurc Cemetery.
With his car moving at the rate of
ten or twelve miles an hour and a col
lsion with a construction car inevita-
BILE. Motorman Roland Clark of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company, jumped
from the platform and was badly in
jured near Bonaventure Cemetery yes
terday morning.
The accident occurred on a curve and
several persons were bruised and other
wise injured by the collision, although
none so seriously as Clark, who had to
be removed to his home. No. 525 Gwin-
nett street, east, for treatment. Two
negroes on the construction car were
painfully injured. Walter Sims suf-
fered with a badly mashed foot. and
the other was hurt in the side. Pas
sengers on car No. 500. in charge of
Motorman Clark, were badly shaken
up, but suffered no real injuries so far
as could be ascertained.
NThe passenger car was coming to the
city and was moving a a rather rapid
rate. The construction car was at
tached to a loaded fiat car and was
going to Isle of Hope at a low rate of
speed. 1t was being operated by Track
Superintendent owens, who saved him
self by jumping. Because of the fact
that his car was not going at a rapid
rate he escaped injury. The double
track was not in use at the point where
the accident occurred, for the reason
that the overhead wire on the southern
track was being repaired. This fact
! was known to Owens and was respon-
J sible for the collision.
! The large car in charge of Motorman
/ Clark carried several passengers and
was moving rapidly towards the city.
When Clark turned the curve near
! BonaVenture he saw the construction
| car, with the fiat car attached, NOV
| ing in his direction on the same track
The construction car No. 81 is a small
| closed car, and owens realized that II
would get the worst of a collision and
jumped. Clark knew that it would be
impossible to prevent the meeting of
the cars and also jumped. He was
thrown into ditch on the side of the
track. and in this manner received the
injuries from which he is now suffer-
ing.
| The negroes in the construction car
we're hurled forward violently and had
no opportunity to jump. The passen-
| gers on the car also remained in their
seats and were only jolted Conduc-
| tor Anglin of No. 500 remained on his
/ car, but escaped injury. The fraiI con-
! struction car was almost demolished
by the collision and the large passen-
| ger car also suffered. A wrecking
crew was hurried to the scene and II
required considerable work to clear the
tracks Tor traffic. DR.. A. B. Simmons.
the companys surgeon, was summon
| ed and the injured received medical at -
tention. The damaged cars were taken
TO the shops for repairs and the
Ihunderbolt passengers were brought
! to the city on a special car.

Grocery Moved n Block to Make
Room for Residence.

The moving of L. B. Greer's grocery
store from the southeast corner of
Park avenue lane and Whitaker street
to the southwest corner of Park
avenue lane and Whitaker street
was practically completed yesterday.
The work of rolling the store almost
block from where it was built was
begun Friday and was accomplished
without mishap. Even while the store
was being gradually moved Mr. Greer
and his clerks were on hand to fill or
ders, and while inconvenience bust
ness was conducted as if nothing was
happening. The grocery was on the
property of Mr.. NJ. S. Byck, whose in
tention it is to begin building a resi-
dence next month.
Matters were arranged so that the
grocery did not have to be pulled
down, but could be rolled away. Mr..
Byck expects to build a pretty house
on the site until recently occupied by
the grocery. The store had to be
moved across Whitaker street and this
was done yesterday. The trolley car
track was blocked at the corner of the
lane and passengers were transferred
during the day at the switch at that
