BATTLESHIP INJURED.
U. s. Texas Crashed Into BY Floating
Derrick Yesterday.

New York, Dec. 20. Breaking FIVE
great cables as ii they had been threads,
the 100 ton floating derrick Hercules,
moored to the side of the new battleship
Connecticut, broke adrift in the navy
yard basin in Wallabout bay today and
crashed into the stern Of the battieship
Texas, smashing several plates and 90
injuring the war vessel that she will
have to 90 into the dry dock.
In the basin when fierce squall swept
over it were the Texas, Illinois, Ken.
tucky, Tacoma and Minneapolis. The
Hercules was securely tied to the Con
nectcut and was landing great armor
plates on the decks. The strain caused
by the heavy wind caused the cables to
break and the derrick started up the
bay towards the warships. The water
was lashed into white foam and the
Hercules gained great momentum. The
naval officials were thrown into panic.

AIulca for Market.

The advantage of a mule over a
horse is he can be taught to turn short
er. thus preventing the breaking down
of vegetables or other plants. He can
go in rougher places, is not affected
by heat as bad as the horse. and re
quires less attention In the way of
currying, rubbing. etc. His feet
being smaller he can walk closer to
the row of growing plants.
To make good mule worth from
$50 to $50 at weaving time or $40
to $160 as 2-year- old, he should be
foaled from a large mare in April or
May. He should run with the dam
until October l, then De weaned. At
this time he should be 1T least 80
inches. Put him in ashed with plenty
of light, and feed oats, with clover and

warden's Wife is Free.

Mrs. Katherine Soffel is once more a
free woman, after serving a sentence of
twenty months in the western peniten-
tiary of Pennsylvania.
All newspaper readers will recall the
sensational affair in which the woman
figured. She was the wife of the warden
of the Allegheny County Jail, in which
were confined the notorious Biddle broth
ers, bandits. She fell in love with the
bandits, aided them to escape and eloped
with them. Previous to becoming a vic
tim of the brothers she had been a faith
full wife and had never giS zen evidence
that she was capable of going so con-
trary to ordinary sentiment and action.
In the pursuit one of the Biddles was
<illed and the other seriously wounded.
The woman was tried for her part in the
escape and sentenced to twenty months
imprisonment. During her incarceration
her husband secured a divorce. The
woman will live with her parents.
