EXPERTS AGREE ON
VALVE Of (H|USA

The witness before the Admiralty
Court this morning In the matter of
the libel against the Chiusa Maru was
Chief Engineer Heakin of the steam
ship Sildra. He was called as an ex-
Pert on the valuation OF steamships,
and showed thorough knowledge OF
The subject, being admitted by the
Court as an expert.
The chief engineer was very inter
esting witness. He went into details
regarding the value of the Chiusa and
gave his valuation from an tented
statement Of the value Of the different
parts of the vessel. The total value he
placed AT Sl25,O00.
This agrees very closely with the
figures OF Captain Cation and also with
those OF Captain Christensen of the
Sildra. Captain Cation valued the
Chlusa Maru at sl26,OOO, and Captain
Christensen at $4,000 pounds.
Chief Engineer Heakin stated that
the Chiusa is very fine vessel and in
good state of repair.
The case is continued to next wec,,.
and will probably last some days lon,-
err.

 The remains of w. R. Pike. who was accidentally killed in Monterey, Mex, ar rived in the city this morning. MT. Toney l Macon accompanied the body, which was shipped last Tuesday; considerable delay , was experienced owing to the stringent ! quarantine laws between Mexico and the United States.
 Mir. Pike met his death while working on the soaking pits of the Monterey ! Steel works. by some means his foot 1 caught in the brick work throwing him 1 heavilv forward on his head. He lived , bot,t two hours and a half. Father Me- l Ioy of Monterey administered the last 1 eacraments He was given every atten- tion bv his countrymen, but it was seen from the first his case was hopeless. His interment will take place Monday from St. Anthony's church, the Knights of Columous of which order the deceased was amember, will attend in body. Solemn requiem high mass will be sung. this being the first time 1t has been cele- brated in Ensley
 Mir. Pike was originally from Ohio, but before moving to Mexico was resident of Ensley for a number of years where he was employed at the steel mill. He was married about two years ago to Miss Minnie Kennedy, sister of Father T. H. Kennedy who, with an infant child, about months old, survive him. He was well liked by his many friends and acauaint- ances in Ensley, whose heartfelt sym pathy goes out to the bereaved family.
