ARMY VESSELS HERE.
Five Boats Comprise Its Navy in Local
Waters.

Many persons in this city who have an
idea that the United States army confines
it's operations to land will be surprised to
learn that its navy, on the Potomac in this
vicinity, consists of five vessels which in
point of numbers is mere than the navy
has in service on the waters hereabouts.
First in poin- of size comes the big steam
lighter Kearney of the quartermaster's de-
partment. She is a vessel of several hun
dred tons burden, and saw service in Cuban
waters in the war with Spain. She is now
doing duty as tender to the engineers bat
talon stationed at the Washington bar
racks, and makes frequent trips between
this city and Fort Foote. Md, where the
engineers have rifle range and drill
grounds.
The tug Gbbon Is the tender to the army
posts at Fort Washington and Fort Hunt,
and makes two daily trips between the
forts and this city.
The next in point of size is the tug General
Warren, q new arrival on the Potomac
She is doing duty with the United States
army engineers Office here, under the
charge of Col. c. ]. Allen.
The launch Mercedes, the private pleas
ure craft of the higher officials of the War
Department, is another of the army efiet
She lies in her boat house at the harbor
office wharf. with crew aboard ready for
service at any time, but she seldom makes
trip at this season of the year.
The Mercedes is relic of the Spanish
j war. having been the steam tender to the
Spanish ship Reina Mercedes, taken after
the surrender of Santiago.
The launch Neva. which has been doing
| duty here for ten years past with the engi-
neer's office, has recently been laid aside,
a larger boat having taken her place. She
has the distinction of being one Of the fast
est vessel of her kind on the Potomac
All these craft except the engineer
boats. are under the control of the QUAR-
dpDartm9nt do
their appearance on the river within the
past four years. for before the Spanish war,
the Neva was the only vessel of the army 3

George Adler, the father of Rachael
Adler, 17year-old girl who charged
Ben Driscoll, Del" Custer and George
Donovan with maltreating her at Don

daughters money.
Il know that my daughter had
money when she went to the room
money when she left the room in the
morning." said Mr.. Adler today.
Rachael was a good girl until she
met these scallawags, and 1 believe
they are the ones who sent her money
and induced her to leave our home
and return to Spokane shortly after
the first Of the year.
This is the saddest incident that
ever happened to our family. and may
prove the death of my wife, who has
been an invalid for several years. I
am here to aid the police in locating
my daughter and to prosecute the
case against the men,"
Mrs. Lottie Christop of E254 Bald
win avenue, who had charge of the
Adler girl after her release from the
hospital, and Omer Hesner, driver for
a fuel company, were arrested by the
police last evening and are locked in
the city Jail on the charge of aiding
the girl to leave the country.

United States Judge Lurton issued
restraining order against the Union
Pacific this afternoon on the applica-
ton of the minority stockholders to
prevent the management from voting
the stock it holds in the coming an

The complaint alleges defendants
have secured control of Southern Pa

purpose of depreciating the earnings
and profits of the Union Pacific.
The application for a restraining
order was first applied for in Louis
vile yesterday, as the Southern Pa
cific is Kentucky corporation. A
restraining order is also made against
Southern Pacific stockholders who

pire will look after us a bit" said
Mr.. Doran, they will find us as good
