Trophy Of Famous Old frigate
Found in James River.
ON EXHIBIT AT C. 4 0. PIER
Mud Hook" Brought up by Captain
cooksey's Men After Anchor Of
Barge Had Become Fastened In

One of the anchors of the famous
old Federal frigate Cumberland. which
was sunk in James river near Point
Breeze IN March. 1864. by the Con
federal ironclad Virginia. was brought
mp from the bottom of James river
yesterday by Captain J. ~ Cooksey,
superintendent of the Chesapeake a
Ohio floating property. and his forces
Attached TO the anchor is a short sec
ton OF the chain OF the frigate
The anchor is a curious trophy and
Captain Cooksey and his men value
il very highly. Its discovery was
made possible by an accident the
anchor OF a barge being caught in IL
yesterday morning All efforts TO get
the anchor mp were unavailing and
finally both the anchor of the barge
and that of the frigate were brought
to the surface by means OF extra
cables.
The Cumberland was the first OF
the federal fleet of wooden frigates
anchored in James river and Hamp-
ton Roads which was attacked by
the Virginia. The Confederate iron
clad came out OF Norfolk and opened
fire on the frigate The Cumberland
returned the fire without effect. while
the Virginia's shells damaged the
frigate. Finally. the Virginia rammed
the Cumberland and The vessel soon
went down with coiors flying. The
ram of the Virginia was broken of
and left in the frigate and this pre-
vented the Confederate ship from
sinking the federal Monitor in the
famous battle of the following day.
Captain Cooksey easily identified
the anchor as that of the Cumberland
as the vessels name is cast in both
the anchor and the links of the chain

ASKS COUNCIL TO
AMEND ORDINANCE
Mayor Jones Would Require
Heavier Bond for Tunnelling
Under Streets.

Mayor Marquis Jones has addressed
a letter to the city council requesting
that the ordinance relating TO tun-
melting under the paved streets OF the
city be so amended as 10 require a
'Deayier bonds from persons who nave
excavating done under the sheet
asphalt paving on Washington avenue
and Twenty-fifth street
When the city street force began
tunnelling under the asphalt paving
at washington avenue and Twenty
fifth street several weeks ago in
search OF the tap" to the sewer main.
Mayor Jones looked up the ordinance
relating to such work and he found
that 5000 was the highest amount
persons for whom such tunnelliHg was
done were required 10 give for the
protection Of the city in case OF pos
sible accidents and resulting suits.
Mayor Jones said yesterday that
it is an utter impossibilty to pack
the dirt back under the paving as
tightly as it was before the digging
began and that there is the possible
danger of a cave in. which might re-
suit in heavy damage suits against
the city He thinks that heavy bond
should be demanded Of any person
who has any excavating done under
the sheet asphalt
The mayor Is satisfied with the
amount of bond requier for excavat-
ing on streets where there is brick
or block asphalt paving as the paw
ing is removed and trenches dug.
These trenches can be refiiled and
tightly packed. with no danger Of ar
cidents from possible caving in Of the
dirt.

Passing of Rev. H. C. Riding.

On the ,9th day of August, 1909, Rev. H. c. Ri Hing, a pio- neer Baptist of Western Arkansas and Indian Territory, fell asleep iu Jesss at the home of his son, H. J. Riding in Mena, Ark. Fun eral services were conducted by Rev. Shelton and Rev. Burnett aud the remains laid to rest in the family burying ground in Concord cemetery, eight miles east of Mena.
 Bro. Riding was born iu Coweta county, Ga, August 27, 1894. From Georgia his parents moved 10 Mississippi; sfterward 10 Polk county, Ark, where Bro. Riding has lived an active Chris tian lie for nearly sixty years. II 1854 he was married 10 Miss Marg aret Suits. She was faith ful companion and helpmeet tor nearly fifty years, but preceded him to the better land six years ago. Sixteen children were born oi this union, eight of whom, to sether With forty.seven grand children and forty-one great grandchildren, survive Bro. Kidding.
 He served in the Union army from June 22, 1862, till August s. 1865, when he received honorable discharge at Gainesville, Ark. | He was ordained as minister oi the gospel May ?, 1869, and bis life since that time has been de
 voted to the spread of the gospel ia Western Arkansas and among the Choctaw Iudiaus.
 He served as moderator oi Ouachita Associatit so often as almost to be regarded as the father of that body, and has Ilabored as special missionary
 m nv times without remuuera-
 ton, throughout the bounds oi
 this association.
 No record of his lie has been kept, but 1t is safe to say thai
 thousands of souls have been born into the kingdom oI God as re- ,sclt of his labors. Throug houl the territory in which he lived . and labored his name is loved ano r honored as that of a Father n s Israel indeed. The tribute ol } tears, songs and loving words al
 his grave attest the tender lov'
 in which he was held by mos
 who knew him best.
 The scene was a forcible re
 hinder of the words. Truly s mighty man in Israel hath ialler ? this day" On the field oi ms } labors his place never can o' filled.
