Tho Umbria on her last trip outward
from New York, came very near carry
Ing on board an Internal machine with a
clock attachment wound up to explode
when the vessel got into sea; but, by a
lucky discovery. the box containing the
apparatus was found and plunged into
tho water and afterwards carefully ex-
amined by detectives.
A letter accompanying the machine In
dictated that 1t was part of n con-
spiracy OF the Malta Society to blow
up the ship, The box had been placed
among the Umbrlas baggage. On the
one hand, 1t Is believed to have been n
deliberate cold-blooded design to murder
the whole ships company. On the other
hand, some think that the whole thing
was designed as hoax. When the UNI
brlh was two days at sea she photographed
a passing ship to report her In New
York as 'all right" The mystery. how
ever. is receiving very serious attention
from tn eport officers, and the owners OF
the Umbria, especially IN view Of the fact
that tho letter accompanying the Internal
machine indicated that the Malta had
condemned British shipping generally.
and gave notice that internal machines
would be used against the passenger
ships Of that nation whenever possible.

War relics are still forging TO the
front, and. like the Governors wine,
the best is reserved for the last.
The last one is a gold watch with
the inscription George to Martha
Washington, 177j This watch be-
comes a war relic because it was cap
tured from a Confederate by a Union
soldier at the battle Of Iuka, so he
writes. 1t may be possible that the
watch will be returned TO the owner,
il living and can be found. At any
rate y. W. Parsons. Of Oregon, the
possessor OF the relic, writes to the
Mayor OF Richmond to know who
Martha Washington was, her name
before her marriage and ii she has
any relatives living. Now it will be
interesting to know from whom it
was captured, and why Mr.. Parsons
has kept such a valuable relic so
long from the public
