ONCE THREATENED AUSTRIANS

PHILADELPHIA, August 1.-Long
a strong and sturdy figure in the
annals of war, and once the centre
of bold defiance that became his
toric, the old sloop of war, st. Louis,
helpless and silent, lies at Eddystone,
while civilian workmen rend her vi
tails and tear her to pieces. Condemn
| ed as worthless some time ago, she
was sold at auction and the buyer is
now mining in her depths for metals
and beams, the chief valuable things
still remain in her.
AS she lies now at Eddystone the
housing and cover of the top deck
have been torn away, exposing the
fittings, tanks and contents of the
ships interior. In her hold there
have been large quantity of old
shells and shot, stored there doubt
less, during the civil war, and now
rusted and obsolete. The structure
of her shell is still strong, and pry-
ing crowbars have to be welded
forcefully to separate it.
The tanks, sheathing and metal
are being separated and selected.
stored and treasured in way that
would have seemed absurd to per-
sons familiar with the junk methods
a few years ago. Thus far the ship
has been practically one-third de-
stroyed, though much the most val
liable portion of her hull remains
Her bottom is sheathed with copper
to the estimated amount of several
tons, and which, at the present price
OF that metal will probably alone re-
pay the purchaser the price paid for
the hulk.
The st. Louis was one of the very
old ships of the line of the American
navy, having been built by the Gov
ernment at Washington in 1928
That, at least, was the year in
which her construction was begun
though she was not commissioned
until several years after that date
For many years hercareer was un-
eVentful, cruises in the Mediterran-
can figuring principally on a log
that told of no remarkable occur

Bade Defiance to Austria.

1he most picturesque transaction
IN which the st. Louis figured, how.
ever, was long afterwards, having
happened after the civil war, while
the ship was on the Mediterranean
station, This was at Smyrna, wber
captain Ingraham had command
While ashore there at an oficia-
dinner Captain Ingraham was in
formed that a native of SMYRNA. but
naturalized American, was unde,
arrest on board the flagship of the
Austrian squadron, seven ships of
which were then lying at anchor in
the harbor. The st. Louis lay be-
tween two of these ships, each OF
which was of twice her size and
armament and compared with which
she looked like a pygmy.
Hastily excusing himself in the
midst of the dinner, Captain Ingra-
nam returned to his ship and sent an
othcer to the flagship with a demand
for the instant release of the pris-
oner, In default of which he threaten
ened to Immediately fire on the Aus
trian squadron. At the same time
he cleared for action, sounded the
calls to quarters and the war tocsin
and raised his flag
The prisoner was delivered before
the two hours were up, although eth
er of the two Austrian war ships
alongside the st. Louis would alone
nave been able to blow that craft
out of the water. In naval and mill
tary circles abroad the incident was
regarded as rather humorous, the i'm
petuous conduct of Captain Ingrahan
was characterized as strictly "Ameri.

Scene 4 Distressing One.

AS the bereaved wife and little
ones wept over the dead bodies of
husband and uncle, snatched from
them with such awful suddenness,
the scene was heart-rending in the
extreme.
To this was added the sorrow of
friends assembled and the frenzied
grief of faithful servants, many of
whom had been with the Goodwin
brothers nearly all of their lives.
The scene was pathetic in the ex-
treme and one, fortunately, rarely is
witnessed here.
The story of the dual death of
these prominent and esteemed citi-
zens quickly spread over the coun-
try and many messages of sympathy
were received.
