The Vienna Wreck.

During the first few days fol
lowing the wreck of the steamer
Vienna, which sunk about fifteen
miles below this place last week.
a large force of men was engaged
in an effort to remove the cargo
from the boat. The heavy rains
which fell during the first part
of the week, however. caused the
river to rise rapidly, and On
Wednesday Che work had to be
TEN pOrarily abandoned. When
the boat sank she had on board
$50 bales of cotton and about
2200 sacks of cotton seed. All
of the cotton had been saved and
about half of the cotton seed had
been brought TO shore when the
rising waters forced the men to
give up their work, and it is
feared that the cotton seed re
naming on board will prove a
total loss.
AS soon as the news Of the
wreck was received in this city,
Mr.. Joseph DOnoghue, one of the
principal owners of the Vienna,
telegraphed to Mobile for a diver.
An pxDprt diver came in roSroDSa
to the telegram, but on account
of the high stage Of the water
could tell little about the extent
of the damage. 1t is believed
though that the craft will not be
a total loss, as experienced river
men are Of the opinion that as
soon as the water recedes she
can be raised to the surface and
her damages repaired.

ing recently been seized by an
attack of pneumonia, and having
succumbed to the ravages Of the

REPORT
Maj. .CraighillSays Scheme
for improving Tombig-
bee is Practicable.

In letter which Hon. E. r.
Sher man, of this city, recently
received from COngreSSm man JnO
Il. Bankhead, of Alabama, that
gentleman states that Maj Craig
hill, Of the u. S. Engineering
Corps at Mobile, under whose di-
rection a survey of the Tom big
| bee river between this city and
DemOpolis, Ala, was recently
made, is very favorable. THE
DISPATCH has made every legiti-
mate effort to get this report in
order that it's contents might be
given 10 the public in full, but it
is policy of the government to
keep these matters secret, and
all efforts to obtain copy of the
document proved futile. Con-
gresham Bankhead, however, is
a mem Der of the River and Har-
Dor com mittee, and is therefore
in a position to view the report,
and what he says is extremely
encouraging.
For many years past the peO-
pie of Colum bus and those living
along the Tom bigbee between
this city and Demopolis have been
making persistent effort to Sc
cure an appropriation for the i'm
provement of the stream, and at
last it looks like this effort is GO
ing to be crowned with success.
Appropriations have been made
for numerous rivers in the North
that are practically in the same
condition as our river, while in
the neighboring State of Alabama
the Warrior was placed in navi-
gable condition by an apprOpria-
ton from congress. With two
such indefatigable workers as
Congressman Bankhead and Can
dler we may feel sure that our
interests will be we'll looked after.
and that nothing they can do to
secure the appropriation will be
left undOne.

Omit that Mayo never hazed
them before or after that occa-
sion; that his reputation was
that of a man who was opposed
to haZing, and that he told each
and all of them, after they had
done their respective stunts,
that it was a punishment for
laughing in ranks. La addition
TO this, through one witness, it
was shown that the young MILDLY
did his hazing with system and
checked off, the names of
plebes as he finished with them.
1t is told further that on the
day on which the hazing by Mayo
is alleged to have taken place,
the officer in charge told certain
upper classmen that he would be
away from the building for sew
eral hours during the afternoon.
According to the testimony of
many witnesses, the hazing of
them by Mayo took place during
the hours Immediately following
dinner on Sunday.

Claud Banks Mayo had been ac
quilted of the charge of hazing al
Annapolis. T b infor nation
rapidly spread over the com
munity, and his home was kept
busy receiving the cOngratula-
tiOns of friends, and innumerable
messages were flashed to the
MILDLY at Annapolis congratulate
ing him Of his triumphant vindi-
cation.
Ever since his arrest h 5
friends at home have been con
tident that young man who had
such an exemplary record at
home and at the institu ton would
be acquitted o f the charges
against him, and that their con-
fidence was not misplaced is
shown by the outcome. THE DIS
PATCH takes this opportunity to
congratulate him upon his vim
dicatiOn.
The following telegram from
Washington to the Picayune gives
the best insight into the merit
of his case which has not yet
been published ia Southern
papers.
WASHINGTON, JAN. %. .- A spec
ial from Annapolis says that it is
alleged on authority which is of
the best that on Sunday Mid
shipman Mayo. of Colum bus,
Miss, now on trial at the Acad
emy, charged with hazing, re
ceived an intimate from a high
officer at the institute that if
he would enter a plea of guilty
at his trial it would go much
easier with him at the hands of
the authorities.
This of itself is a sim pie mat
ter apparently, but those intim.
ately acquainted with the case of
young Mayo, and the circum-
stances leading up to what some
of them term this offer" ap-
Darently do not look at it in that
light In the case of Mayo, it
was evident straight through
that Mr.. TheaIl, counsel for the
defense, was endeavoring to
show that hazing was not only
countenanced, but actually en-
cOuraged by officers of the De
partment of Discipline at the
Academy.
After getting hold of certain
facts in the information of his
line of defense, Mr.. Theall, it IS
said, went to Lieutenant G.. 2.
Snyder, u. S. N, who had been
officer ia charge of quarters on
the Red Sunday" when the al
legged hazing by Mayo took place,
and, in Difference to that officer,
told him of the line of evidence
he intended to offer. This Motif
cation took place, it is under
stood, on Sunday afternoon. Sew
eral hours thereafter, according
to the authoritative statements
of trustworthy persons, Mid
shipman Mayo was visited in
Bancroft Hall by high official
1t was first said that the Off Ger
had 'intimated" TO the accused
MILDLY that if he would enter a
plea of guilty he would more than
likely be recommended for the
clemency of the officials both |
here and at Washington. The |
latest and most likely report has |
it that the officer merely in,imat-
ed that it would not go so lard |
with Mayo if he pleaded guilty.
To the minds of many audi
tors it was apparent that from
the admissions of witnesses at |
yesterday session of the Court
young Mayo was warranted in
assuming that it was the desire
of the officer in charge that the |

address. Capt. Houston re
sponded in his characteristic
style, reviewing the history of
the College, his deciding vote in
favor of Columbus as it's location
and its past history. Capt. Hous-
ton stated the position the mem
bers of the com mittee occupied
towards all the State educational
institutions, a position which
placed every ~ member where he
wished to allow all of them what
they were asking in the way Of
improvements if possible He re
minded his hearers, however,
that it was the duty of the wise
legislator to not only consider
the needs Of the Colleges but it
was his duty to seriously consid-
er the States financial condition
as we'll the burdens which
would be i'm posed on the people,
if any, which would ensue in
granting these improvements
His address was inters perSed with
pleasant bits Of fun, wit and phil
osophy and he kept his hearers
in a happy frame of mind
througout its deliveranCe.

making a careful inspection of it's
various departments and it's
needs. The College is asking lit
tie of the legislature this session
save that their interest money
from the sale of their
lands be applied to a Science Hall
for the department of chemistry
and kindred sciences, and new
dormitory to relieve the crowded
condition Of the present buildings
and to provide accommodation
for hundreds of girls over the
State who are seeking admission
to the institution. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the joint
committee will recommend that
both of the improvements be al
lowed
The A. & NJ. College is asking
that a new chapel be construct
ed, and is praying that a hun
dred thousand dollars be appro-
priated for this purpose. The
University is asking for a new
Science Hall and other improve
ments besides the support fund
for the ensuing biennial period
which all of the institutions are
asking.

Negligee Jacket For Embroidery.

Is combined with a yoke of wide in

there are a great many variations
that can be evolved from the design.
In addition to the flouncing it can be
made from any bordered material as
the lower edge is quite straight, but
its usefulness is not limited ever to
them and any plain material can be
utilized If appropriate trimming be
added. The slightly open neck and
the elbow sleeves are both attractive
and healthful, while the general
style is an extremely graceful n at

Is maintained. If a yoke of embroid-
