Motionless, inert, hopeless, he had re-

had asked himself, Would she ap-

Interesting Programme At the
 Memorial Exercises
NEGRO IS HORRIBLY CUT
George Homie Gets Into a Fight With a Man Named Mccoy and Is Cut Almost to Pieces-Per-
 sona and General.
By c. H. MANDY.

Ensley, December 6.-(Special )-Me- morial day was fittingly observed by the Ensley Lodge of Ellfs this afternoon, and while the indictment weather possibly kept many away the attendance was very good. The exercises were marked by a solemnity beftting the occasion. After the ceremony of opening the lodge of sorrow by Exalted Ruler w. T. Pal mer and officers was over the following appropriate programme was rendered.:
 Opening ode, lodge.
 Song, We Shall Meet But We Shall Miss Him." Elks choir.
 Oration, Ira Sandefur.
 Recitation. Mrs. Laura s. Webb.
 Solo, One Sweetly Solemn Thought" J. L. Owens.
 Hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee," Elks' choir.
 Eulogy, Absent Brothers" E. G. Gold smith
 Closing ceremonies
 The oration by MT. Sandefur was splendid effort, and singularly appro- priate to the occasion Delivered in fine style it made a profound impression on his hearers. MT. Sandeful said in part:
 Tn every Elk's home throughout this nation there is today a feeling of pro- found sorrow, this is indeed a solemn oc- casion, an occasion which assemblies to- gether for the purpose of paying humble tribute and sincere homage to our dead. To commemorate the virtues of those who in life were united with us, and linked as 1t were by the sacred bonds of our order.
 ''We have not come here out of mere form to rehearse in a perfunctory man. ner the rituals of solemn ceremony, but have come as brothers to fulfil a sacred and binding obligation, to encourage the virtues exemplifed by the lives of those who have gone from our midst, to reach for higher moral and social ideals; this Is the chief aim and controlling motive of every true Elk Out of deep reverance to the dead and for the day we come with grateful hearts to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for the blessings of health and prosperity. We come to perform our solomn duty.'
 He paid a beautiful tribute to the dead and extolled the cherished principles of the order. He closed with an eloquent peroration on the bonds of fraternity Miss Laura s. Webb read a touching little poem on the fraternal dead. John l.. Owens rendered his solo splendidly
 E. G. Goldsmith followed with a eulogy on the Absent Brothers,' replete with fine sentiments and solemn truths. The exercises closed by the singing of the Doxology

From Ear to Ear.

With the blood gushing from frightful wound in the neck and bleeding from several other cuts, George Homie, a ne- gro man about 30 years old, was taken in charge by Officer s. R. Hales after hay ing walked unaided nearly three blocks. He presented a horrible appearance and it is marvellous how he managed to walk at all considering the nature of his wounds Homie had a fight with a ne- gro named Mccoy near the Steel City drug store on Nineteenth street about o'clock this afternoon, Mccoy literally cutting him to pieces, and made good his escape.
 Homie went unassisted in search of doctor and had walked a number of blocks before he met Officer Hales. He was taken to the office of Dr. w. T. Hen don, who dressed his wounds, after which he was taken home. Notwithstanding his terrible injuries, artery having been severed in his neck, he may recover. The cause of the fight could not be learned, but it is stated that Mccoy had dif- ficulty with a brother of the injured man Saturday night, the supposition being that the affray this afternoon was the outcome of it. Mccoy had not been arrested at late hour last night.

CRUISER YANKEE
 IS AGAIN SUNK

Washington, December 6.-(Special)- The navy department was informed this morning by Commander c. c. Marsh of the cruiser Yankee, of the second sink ing of that warship at 4 o'clock this morning in Buzzards Bay. John Arbuckle & Co. had floated her off the Hen and Chickens shoals by the use of com pressed air and had started with her for New York when she again sank.
 Arbuckle & Co.,, Commander Marsh wired, promptly started the work of raising the cruiser again. It is believed this is possible as she lies in but i2 feet of water and is on a muddy bot tom. The second sinking was caused by a broken berth deck air port which flood ed the compressor and fire rooms
 The contract signed by Arbuckle x Co. with the navy department calls for the delivery of the Yankee at the New York navy yard for which they are to receive sS7,5o0 Should they fail in the work they are to be refunded half the amount expended in making the effort. The government, however, limited the re- fund to $25,000.
