Ing the honor of launching during
October, Irvington followed suit Tues
day when the little one-and-a half horse
power pleasure boat of Frank G. New
bill, Esq , was launched at Rilee's WAYS
with appropriate ceremonies.
w. Med. Lee, w. r. Rowe aud Mr..
Newbi!l had been requested to act as
orators of the occasion, but the first
named gentleman had used up his voice
in tearing the Republican party to
pieces the night before, Mr.. Rowe was
busily engaged in getting out this weeks
issue Of the CITIZEN. and Mr.. Newblll
refused on account of his being the
modest owner of the craft.
The little boat is well known in the
waters of Carriers Greek and surround
ing places, but she had never been for
mally named, although she has been
called a number OF names at many times
some OF which, however, would not
appear well in print. At 8 O'Clock, the
time of the launching, large number
OF people had assembled, and when il
was found that no orator could be OBJ
tanned, Mr. John III. Lee. the humble en-
gineer OF the craft, had to "orate" and
tell the vast concourse of people" as
sembled what the nature of the event
was. AS the little boat slid down into
the water his infant daughter, Marion,
threw roses over the bow and said: "I
christen thee Sea Gull, with good luck"
The name OF the little craft was selected
by Mrs. Newbill, mother of the owner,
while the colors, beautiful emblem,
with "Sea Gull" emblazoned thereon,
were presented by Miss AnnIe / Lnnr

Enters Christ Church Hospital

Mrs A. N Tribe, pleasantly remem-
bered in lexington, who has been ma
tron of the Children's Industrial Home
at Harrisburg, Pa for several years, has
given up the position and entered Christ
Church Hospital in Philadelphia. The
Harrisburg papers speak very highly of
Mrs. Tribe and her management of the
home. We clip the following:
Mrs. Anna N. Tribe, matron of the
Children's Industrial Home, has re.
signed and her resignation has been
accepted. Mrs. Tribe served in her
position for several years and has
brought the Home up TO high standard
of excellence,-Telegraph.
II has been snnounced by the board
of trustees of the Children's Industrial
Home that Mrs. A N. Tribe has re.
signed as matron. The resignation was
accepted with great reluctance. Mrs
Tribe has held the position for several
years, during which time the Home has
accomplished great deal of good, which
Is largely due to the intelligent, pains
taking care that she has bestowed on
the institution. All of the sixty or more
children at the Home entertain the most
affectionate feeling for their matron,
whose kindness and sympathy have &C.
complished wonderful results among

Decline in Standard 0lI.

Standard oil stock, which was sell ing a week ago at s646 share. has dropped to $595. As there is $100 ,0o0,- 900 of Standard oil stock outstanding 2 drop of $50 share means a reduc- tion in the market value of the shares of from thirty to forty million dollars.
 The fall in values is partly due to the investigation that Commissioner Garfield and the administration are about to make, but it is chiefly due to the war that Kansas and the states near it have declared against the monopoly.
 The popular impression prevails that the people can by audacity be hardened to anything-that they can be induced to submit by custom to any extortions. But this is mistake. There is a limit to human toleration and endurance, and that limit has been reached in the middle west Seventeen legislatures are asking for copies of Kansas state oil refinery law Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, Texas, Missouri and Arkansas are moving against the oil octopus, thus giving the movement breadth and and strength. It is this great popular movement in the west that is causing a decline in Standard oil stock. It is this movement that leads people to think that at last industrial wrongs no matter how gigantic, can be cor rected by the people when they are in earnest and together.

FORT PAYNE STOVE
 FOUNDRY IS BURNED

Fort Payne, February 23.-(Special.)- At about o'clock this morning the Fort Payne Stove Foundry was discovered to be on fire, and in spite of the valiant eff forts of the firement and citizens of the town it burned entirely down. The office building, stables and pattern house were saved but the main building was com pletely destroyed.
 Two freight trains were in on the side track at the foundry when the heat be- came so intense, the crew who spend the night at this place. pulled them out and put them in on another side track.
 It was feared the fire brick plant and Alabama Cooperage company would catch, but owing to the stiffness of the atmosphere the flames went straight up and nothing caught but the main shop of the foundry. The fire is supposed to have originated at the cupalo. As on yesterday they failed to pour off the molten iron on account of an accident to the cupola. It seems that the whole moulding room was afire before dis covered and was so far gone that it was impossible to save it.
 The foEndry was owned by private citizens and Dr. Jeff Haralson. president of the DeKalb County bank was presi- dent and general manager of the com pany. This is quite loss to Fort Payne.
 There was no insurance and it is not yet known whether they will rebuild or not. but it is generally supposed that they will

Wall Around the Jail.

The brick wall that is being erected around the Jefferson county bastile is rapidly nearing completion" said a cit izen yesterday
 'I am glad the Board of Revenue or dered this wall built. The architecture of the county jail does not appeal to ones sense of the beautiful and though there is nothing artistic in the masonry, 1t is better to look upon than the building 1t masks. The jail is located on a popu- lous corner, directly in front of the First Presbyterian church. and the iron-barred doors and windows the agonized and de- sparing faces at times pressed against the unyielding lattice, and the heart-moving sounds that come from its dark interior, do not impress peaceful and Christly thoughts upon those who worship there. Places of confinement and of punishment are necessary for those who transgress the law, but 1t Is unwise for a prison with all of it's disgusting and demoraliz- ing prospectus to be exposed to the pass ersby and to the morbidly curious.
 Aside from the reasons just mentioned I think the wall will insure greater safety of prisoners confined there. It will not offend the aesthetic and refined senses of our people. and it's formidable, silent and concealing proportions will probably be a deterrent force with the unlawfully in- clined. Exactly what Is behind its gates cannot be seen and the unknown is feared"
