Ward died from injuries received 10

stomach and rupturing his bladder.
Ward was left for dead by Stewart
and the bystanders, and was picked
up for dead by passing freight crew
and carried to his home. He expired
from his injuries the following morn
ing. A coFoner's jury decided that
Ward came TO his death from injuries
received in the fight, and held Stewart

mously chosen as the Democratic can

SEVERAL sleighing parties are

They will hardly get out into the
country but the streets in town are
in fine condition for the pastime.
SLEDs have begun to run on the

not be allowed to be used in this
manner at all

will be able to get about soon.
THE Cadet band did very well at
their concert at the Armory last
night. The selections which they
rendered were highly enjoyed. Ma

this evening by the Christian En-
deaver Society of the Christian

be held next Saturday evening at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Wharton
A fire alarm was turned in last
night at ten thirty. The alarm was
sentin by some one who saw big
light in new house on the avenue.
Investigation showed that there
was very little fire. The night
was a bad one, and the fire laddies
would have suffered had there been a
good fire. The blaze was in a house
owned by John Hunt.
Major Frank Dewitt Ramsey
has been transferred to the States
and is now member Of the staff of
General Chaffee and located in New

LARGEST VESSEL IN THE WORLD
New White Star Line Steamer Cedric
Makes Maiden Trip-Has Gross
Tom age of 21,034 Tons.

New York, Feb. 21-The new White
Star line steamer Cedric, the largest
vessel in the world, arrived yestec
day from Liverpool and Queenstown
after her maiden transatlantic yoy-
age. The passage from Daunts Rock
to this port was made in eight days,
eight hours and 16 minutes. She
brought TAP passengers, of which num-
Der 430 were sfeerage. The external
dimensions of the Cedric are idend-
cal with those of her sister ship, the
Celtic, of the same line, but by reason
of structural differences to provide in
creased passenger accommodations,
the gross tonnage of the former vessel
has been slightly exceeded. The
Cedric is 700 feet in extreme length,
rs feet in breadth and 40 1-3 feet deep
with a gross tonnage of 21,034 tons,
dead weight about $4,000 tons and
displacement OF $4,000 tons. The pro-
polling machinery consists of two sets
of quadruple expansion engines driv-
ing twin propellers. The vessel is
designed to attain speed Of IL knots
at sea. The Cedric has four masts
and two tunnels, the height of the lat
ter being 131 feet above the keel and
their dimensions are Ia feet, three
inches by II teet Accommodations
for $50 first-class, 200 second-elass and
$500 steerage passengers are provid-
ed. The crew of the vessel consists
of 336 men, go of whom are employed
in the engine room
With the advent Of the Cedric the
White Star line possesses the worlds
two largest vessels. Harland &
Wolff of Belfast, Ireland, are the
Cedric's builders. She is commanded
by Captain II. J. Haddock, royal naval
reserve, who formerly was master of
the companys steamer Germanic and
whose sea career commenced in 1875.
On the passage from Queenstown
the Cedric encountered severe north
west gales during the last four days,
but as Captain Haddock remarked:
TT didn't bother us any for you would
hardly know you were at sea when on
this steamer"
