5IvERs 1T WORK
On the Towboat w. w. o'Neill, Sunk
in canal-Loss Large, But All
6arges Are Saved.

Divers are at work on the hull of
the towboat w. w O'Neiu, which
was snagged and sunk in seven feet
of water at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing at the foot of Eighth street about
twenty yards east of the mouth of
the Louisville and Portland canal
says the Louisville Courier-Journal
Although the cause of the accident
has not been finally determined it is
thought the boat struck a rock. She
has hole three feet wide and twelve
feet long in her starboard side, be-
ginning eighteen feet from her bows
and extending back. She is resting
on the bottom in seven feet of water,
but owing TO the fact that she struck
few feet from the bank traffic is
net interfered with.
Capt w. l.. Carroll of Pittsburg,
was in command. Neither be nor
any member of the crew was injured
in the accident. and as soon as it was
seen that the boat was sinking the
harbor boats, Transit and Charles
Hooker, were summoned and set to
work cutting away the barges in tow
The w. w. O'Neill had just arrived
from New Orleans with a tow Ct
empty barges, and they were detached
without loss.
Charles Brokar local diver, ex
amined into the extent of the dam
age yesterday morning, ana Edward
Moore, of Cincinnati, arrived last
evening to take charge of the work
of raising the towboat She will be
temporarily patched and sent to the
marine ways at Pittsburg for perma
nent repairs.
The O'Neill is sixteen years old ant
was rebuilt five years ago. She orig
inally cost $125,000 and is one of The
three largest towboats in the service
of the Monongahela Consolidated Goa
and Coke company, being 285 feet ii
length. The Sprague, the largest ii
the world, and the J. B. Finley, witt
the w. w. ONeill, constitute tht
giants of the Ohio and Mississippi rlv
Ell trade.
1t is estimated that the damage K
the w. W. O'Neill exceeds $500.

TEARS SHED BY ANIMALS.
Monkeys and Elephants Frequently
Observed When Weeping.

There are many scientists and men
who are accustomed to deal with ami
mails who give authentic instances Of
having seen animals shed tears as
result of some strong emotion.
Humboldt relates that he bad q
monkey which wept when il was
eized with fear. Rengger says that
he has often seen the eyes Of a small
South American monkey fiji With tears
when he was deprived OF some coveted
object or made very much afraid Of
something Darwin cites the case Of
monkey from Borneo in a geological
garden which was frequently moved tc
tears when grieved or pitied.
Elephants have also been known e
show their grief ii this way During
an elephant hunt In Ceylon one Ct tbf
spectators relates that many OF thf
elephants when bound showed no feel
Ing except grief and remained perfect
ly motionless while the tears streamet
from their eyes. Female elephants are
often affected in the same way whei
their young are taken from them.

THE EXPLANATION.

CHS father was John Paul, and the
name of Jones was not assumed until
1873, and why at all has never been
explained")
Here lies at last the honored bones
OF John Paul, better known as Jones.
The family rame was simply Paul;
There wasn't any Jones at all
Twas not till seventeen-seventy-th
That he concluded Jones to be.
Why did he take this curious name?
Why twas a cross-lot cut to fame.
Quoth John Paul: "When I'm laid
away,
And Jones' is mentioned, men will
say
Jones? Jones? Repeat the word
once more;
I'm sure I've heard that name before
Oh, yes-the gallant hero who
The flag q victory always fiew.''
He might have made it John Paul
Smith
For history to reckon with.
Or possibly have lighted on
The triplet John Paul Robinson.
But somehow Ii his very bones
He felt he should be known as Jones;
And under that peculiar name
He carved his certain way to fame

Saws yesterdays Cincinnati En-.

Says yesterdays Cincinnati En-
quirer:
Probably the most important work
ever laid before a commission com
posed of United States army engineers

excepting. perhaps. that of the Mis-
sissippi River commiss on, is that as
signed by the act of congress of last
March, which provides for systematic

Sibert, Pittsburg.
In the past Improvements on the
Ohio river and s tributaries were
made at the points which It was
thought required them without prefer
ence to any other portion of the
stream or the probable effect upon the
future improvement 8. The present
board win undertake to formulate
ways and means whereby the work in
the. future may be carried on with
more uniformity and with a better
system, so that any and all improve
ments will have some direct relation
to each other instead of being separate
and distinct as now The board vii
so over the matter carefully.
The act of congress provides fol
the making of plans as to locks and
dams and other improvements to Sc
cure either a six or a nine foot stage

maintenance. The war department
realizes that by such action there viii
lie great saving TO the government

results.

Building Prosperity.

That Palatka is growing is indicat.
ed by the number of homes and othel
buildings now being erected. One
year ago there were several vacant
houses in the city; at present there
is not one
Col. II. M. de Montmollin, secre-
tary of the Board of Trade, has been
keeping tab on the building improve
ments as well as other indices which
tell for Palatka's prosperity, and he
has furnished the News with the
statement that aside from the build.
ing of the city hall and the depot and
wharf improvements of the q. S. &
F. Railway on the river front, there
are exactly AZ houses now nearing
completion or in course of erection
in Palatka"
Among them are those being erect
ed by Mrs. Ackerman, Mr. Merrill,
nine for r. G. Howell, l.. X. Tucker,
Mr.. Ivers, two for Mrs. w. o.
Holmes, four for Henry Strunz,
three for Jack Williams, five for Mr..
Gadsen, and six by the G. S. d f.
Railway. There are also several
good homes being built by negro
citizens.
These building operations furnish
work for a great many mechanics,
and common labor can all find plen-
ty of profitable employment on the
sewer and other municipal improve
ments. There need not be an idle
hand in the whole city.

The Dirt on Lemon Street.

There is a surplus of dirt on Lem
on street. Ii is the sand left over af-
ter filling in the sewer trenches.
These trenches are going to sink two
or three feet during the next three or
four months, depending upon the
amount of rain. That's what City
Engineer Lyon says. He knows.
The dirt heaps were augmented by
Superintendent Craig when he relaid
his track. The track is laid upon the
top of the sewer trench. 1t will also
sink The sewer contractors are will
ling to do the right thing. They are
willing to fulfill their contract re-
garding the disposal of this dirt.
If they do this they will cover up
Mr. Crhig's track.
The city engineer could have it
haulded away, but by and by when
the dirt is needed to fill in the sunken
trenches it would have to be hauled
back
1t is stated that Mr.. Craig prom
ised to clean up after relaying his
tracks. Mr.. Craig denies this.
When the mayor told Craig to do it
that individual told the mayor to go
to-Summer Haven.
And there you are.
And the dirt heaps still linger on
Lemon street, constituting an eye
sore and an interruption to street
traffic.
The city council and superinten-
dent Craig ought to get together.
They probably will but it won't be a
love feast.

merrill -WATTLES
home WEDDING.

Because of the social prominence
and popularity of the contracting
parties the marriage of Mr.. Frank D.
Wattles AMI Miss Genevieve Howes
Merrill has been leading and happy
| theme of discussion in Palatka this
week.
The ceremony occurred at the
home of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. I. B. Merrill in the North End,
at s O'Clock Wednesday evening.
While invitations had been limited
to the immediate personal friends of
the family and every effort made to
have only II quiet affair, the cere-
mony was nevertheless witnessed by
SO many friends as to completely
fill the house.
Promptly at O'Clock the bride
and groom came down the stairway
and entered the parlor, being preced-
ed by seven ladies, all intimate
friends of the bride, and all OF whom
were handsomely gowned in white
They were the Misses Maud aud AL
ice Priddy, Rosalie Price Alice
Miner, Maggie Anderson and Mes
danes II, H. Mcdonald and w. E..
Wattles.
In the parlor the bride and groom
advanced to, and stood under beau
tiful arch made of bamboo and deco
rated with Easter lilies. where the
ceremony was mpressively perform
ed by Rev. l.. r.. Lynn of the Presby-
terian church.
The brides gown was white point
d esprit over white tatfeta silk and
she carried bouquet of Easter ILL
lies. Her travelling suit was brown
silk brilliantine.
Mrs. T. b. Merrill, mother of the
bride, wore dress of lavender dim
ity,
The house was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion, the decorations
extending to the verandahs, which
We're made beautiful with palms and
japanese lanterns. The dining room
was decorated with sweet peas aud
English ivy, palms and roses.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
dainty refreshments were served by
little girls, all members of the brides
Sunday school class, and these, also
presided at the punch bowl.
Among the out-of-towu guests
were Miss Maud Priddy of Tampa,
Mrs. Whitford of Boston, Mass, and
Mr.. Carl Whipp of Jacksonville.
The presents We're many and some
of great intrinsic value.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wattles went to the
home of w. E. WattIes for the night
and took the early train Thursday
morning for Brunswick, Ga, and
Cumberland Island, the boyhood
home of the groom, where they will
remain for week or more before re-
turning to Palatka, when they will
begin housekeeping in a pretty cot
tage home which has already been
prepared for their reception.
Those who attended unite in the
opinion that this pretty home we'd
ding was one of the most delightful
affairs Of the kind ever witnessed in
this city.
