MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
LEGAL and General News of Ships
and shipping.

The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry-Dock Company has the four-mast-
ed schooner Nimbus of Boston, which
was recently ashore at Ocracoke inlet,
in dry dock. The vessel is badly dam
aged. Her shoe is gone, keel split and
is hogged from within about 80 feet
of her stem to within the same dis
lance of her stern-post. the indenture
in her bottom being 26 inches amid
ship 1t is intimated that it will cost
50, 900 to repair her.
The Nimbus was to sail for Savan-
nah, when she went ashore.
One of the most difficult feats in
shipbuilding operations was accom-
plished last Wednesday when the hull
of the Clyde Line steamship Apache
was successfully pulled apart at
Cramps dry-dock, Philadelphia, in the
record breaking time of fourteen min
utes.
The forepart of the Apache's severed
hull rested on well-greased ways, and
was attached to several sets of 6-inch
and S-inch hawsers "reaved" in triple
pulley blocks. The hull was moved 50
feet, the exact length to be added to
the vessel.
When Built one year ago at the
tions were: Length, 2S4 feet; beam,
46 feet l inch, and depth of hold. 20
feet inches.
Supt. Clark, who is in charge of the
Cramp dry-dock, started the steam
winches at 9:31 o'clock. When the first
stop was made, eight minutes later,
a distance of 35 feet had been travers-
ed out of the ways. On the second pull
IL feet 91a inches more were made in
four minutes. On the third and last
pull feet ~ inches were covered in
exactly two minutes.
The weight moved was $50 tons of
vessel and about 100 tons of tackling,
ways and blocking.
Great care had to be exercised in
separating the Apache's hull so as to
preserve the alignment of the keel.

RODERICK IS BOUND OVER
Justice Bryant Fixes His Bail at One Thou
sand Dollars.
UNABLE TO FURNISH EVEN THAT AMOUNT
Defense Introduces No Testimony and
Insists There is No Evidence n
Crime Has Been Conn
mitted.

Otto Roderick, charged with causing the
death Of Clark Meyer, the railway mall
clerk, was held to the grand jury yester-
day afternoon by Justice Bryant. AS to
the degree Of the crime Justice Bryant
said he would leave that to the grand jury
to determine, but decided that Roderick
was entitled to bail II he could furnish 1t
in the required amount. which he placed
at 81, 900. The fact that Roderick will be
permitted to give bail indicates that the
court evidently did not consider the crime
as murder in the first degree. In default
of bail Roderick was recommitted to the
county Jail. 1t is not believed that he will
be able to furnish a bond in the sum
named.
The only witness offered by the state
yesterday was former Alderman f. G.
Brown, who, with County Surveyor Cook,
discovered the unconscious form of Meyer
on the sidewalk in front Of the Creston
house saloon q few minutes after he had
been assaulted. Brown testified to finding
Meyer and as to the nature Of the wound
on his face. This completed the evidence
for the state and Attorney FINLEY, for
Roderiok, stated he would not introduce
any testimony at this time.
Assistant County Attorney Kimball in
his argument to the court accused the
newspapers OF trying the case and drew q
vivid picture of Meyer being struck down
by a brick in the hands OF Roderick. This
drew forth a protest from the defendants
attorney, who insisted that there had not
been a particle Of evidence, or even a sug-
g~estion. that Roderick had struck Meyer
with q brick or any weapon
Counsel for the defense contended tina
there had been no evidence offered by the
state to show that a crime had been com.
mitted; that the testimony Of the wit
nesses showed that the assault was the
result Of a drunken street row and tina
1t had been without malice or premedita-
ton, and therefore no crime had beer
committed.
The grand jury will meet in September,

raise the price Of goods. but to secure a
fair remuneration and a uniform scale.

dents. F. ]. Gressler, Chaplin; George NJ.

the cars to. the boy and then learned that
the other had fallen OF and that the train
had run over i'm.
