EXTENSIVE REPAIRS.
NEW PLATES FOR OLD ONES.
SEVERAL NEEDED To PUT BOAT IN
GOOD CONDITION.

ported-Of Interest to Seamen.
The revenue cutter Hamilton is still
on Rourke's marine railway, where
she is receiving a thorough overhaul
ing from stem to stern. The Hamilton
has been in service about thirty years,
and while repairs have been made to
her all along. this is the first time she
has probably received such a COM
plete going-over.
Many plates have been removed from
the cutter and new ones replaced. The
defects of plates cannot be we'll told
until the rust and other corroded sub
stances have been removed and the
solid metal reached. Workmen have
been engaged at this since the Hamil-
ton was hauled out. They scraped her
sides, and where a plate was found to
be too thin for further service it was
removed and a new one put on. The
cutters wheel was also removed and
repaired. When she is hauled off she
will be good for many years service
yet.

a good one for the boats. This is an
other commodity farmers have bought
freely, and the movement, particular

large one.

FLORIDA,
MARRIEs III HE is MAYOR.

The following unique interview ap-
peared in the Florida Times Union:
If James d. Burbridge, the popular
manager of Jacksonville's theater, is
winner in the coming campaign and
is nominated Mayor of Jacksonville,
there will be a Mrs. James D. Bur-
bridge few days later. If Burbridge
fails to buy, beg or steal a sufficient
number of votes to carry him through
he will be relegated to the extreme
rear in the matrimonial line and be
classed with the also rams. For some
time past ii has been talked that Mr..
Burbridge intended taking unto him
self wife, as all people are comman-
ded to do, and when questioned yes
terday relative to this matter he
blushingly admitted that he would give
up check to a county judge and a
minister soon. There are conditions,
however" said Mr.. Burbridge, as he
paled perceptibly, and one of them
is that / am nominated for Mayor of
Jacksonville. OF course l expect to be
able to surmount this difficulty, as 1
have a sufficient number of friends who
will aid me in the scheme to be happy
for life. 81 realize the fact that
am getting old. / can tell 1t by look
ing at Mikes teeth and hearing his
bark grow less faint and it behooves
me to select partner for life. The
journey through this. old world is a
long and tiresome one, and 1 need the
aid of helping hand. In fact, l need
two helping hands, no wooden arm
game for me, and 1 have asked a
young lady to become Mrs. James D.
Never mind who she is. If l fail to
win in the campaign it may kill her
chances with some other fellow not so
handsome as /, and l think it best to
wait until the ballots have rolled in
before l apply to the county judge.

FOUR DROWN
Woman and Three Men Lost
 in the Nizina.

A Tonsina dispatch in the Valdez Prospector of July l. says that word had just reached there that Miss Lou Wheeler, formerly of the Senate; c. A. widmaier, the candy kitchen man, and his son, and August Reischl, who was a cook for the Blei outfit, all well known Valdez people, were drowned while crossing the Nizina on their way out.
 Far down on the Nizina the boat was discovered bottom up on bar in mics stream, with a pair of woman's stock iugs dried out, and some silver coin ly- fog along side. The appearance of the place seemed to indicate that some one had been there within two hours, but the women could not be found. At last reports 1t was thought that she might yet be discovered alive, though by no means probable.
