FLOATING PROPERTY CHEAP.
Vessels Go at Low Prices Under
Hammer of Marshals.

Floating property is in small demand
and is selling at low figure. At a recent
United States marshars sale at Boston the
three:masted coasting schooner Rebecca

of Boston. was purchased by d. N Simp.
son for $1,OSO. Tina Mounton was an old.
style coaster, having been built at Bos.
ton in 1873. She is vessel of SCI ne,
tons register and 1886 feet long. She
was last in port here about a year ago
when she brought cargo of lumber
from a Florida port.
The three-masted schooner Asbury Foun-
tain, which was picked up at sea, dere-
lict, by a revenue cutter last winter and
lowed into port, was Thursday last sold
at a marshal's sale in Philadelphia, to
Frederick Craemer, for $500. The Foun-
tain was formerly the schooner Charles
l.. Davenport, and was one of the fleet
controlled by s. *. ]. Thompson of New
York. She was abandoned at sea in
December of last year, laden with lun1-
Der, and was picked up by the cutter
Onondaga, which brought the wreck into
harbor. The vessel registers 929 net tons,
is 1903 feet long and was built at Thorn
aston, Me, in 1880. Her new owner.
1t is understood, will repair the vessel and
put her in the coasting service.

but sticks of wood that tell the vessel
master nothing as to which side he

ally the buoys are renewed and reprinted
and marked early in the spring. but this
year. in consequence of the fact that
the buoy boats had to be overhauled, the
work on the Potomac has not yet been
done.
A day or two ago the Maple came up
the river and renewed several of the
buoys below Alexandria, but returned
down the river without touching those

consul at Madrid.
In a report on the subject he says that,
while the project itself will offer only a
limited opportunity for the sale of Amer

generally, as 1t will necessitate the con-
struction Of q number of houses sufficient
at least to replace those which are to be
torn down. The period of construction
of the boulevard is to extend over eight
years, the work to be done in three Sec
tions. All the houses in the first section

TIES FOR SOLDIERS
GEN. HOWE ACTS ON FINDINGS
OF COURT.MARTIAL,
Several Were Sentenced to Dismissal,
Forfeiture of Pay and
Imprisonment.

| Gen. Howe, commanding the Depart
ment of the East. has acted on the cases
of five soldiers at nearby posts, recently
convicted by court-martial of various in
fractions Of the army regulations.
Private Philip E. Bryant, 10th Com
pany, Coast Artillery Corps, at For;
| Washington, Md, was convicted of dis
obedience Of orders and using disrespect-
full and insubordinate language to Sergt
lie. W. Haney, and also with attempting
to assault Corp. M. ]. Greeley. Evidence
of four previous convictions was consider
ed by the court. The soldier was sentenc-
ed to be dishonorably discharged, to for
felt pay and allowances and to be con-
fined at hard labor for eighteen months.
The sentence was approved, but nine
months of the period of confinement was
RENTED.
Drunk and Neglected Duty.
Private Benjamin Dover, 44th Company.
Coast Artillery Corps, at Fort Washing
ton. was sentenced to be dishonorably
discharged. to forfeit pay and allowances
and to be confined at hard labor for
three months. He was convicted of the
charges of being drunk in quarters and
of neglect of duty. Evidence Of five pre-
vious convictions was considered by the
court.
Other soldiers sentenced to be dishon-
orably discharged and to confinement at
hard labor for two years are Private
Clifton Estes, Attn Company, Coast Ar
tillery Corps. and Private Alexander
Dickinson of the same company, both
| stationed at Fort Hunt, Va.
Orgy on Public Road.
These soldiers were convicted of en-
gaging in q drunken orgy in broad day
light on a public road near Hunters Sta
ton, Va. In reviewing the case Gen.
Howe says that the evidence failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt the
guilt Of the accused Of having committed
an ASSAULT On a civilian named Howard
HI. Newton. He therefore approved only
so much of the sentence in each case
as provided for confinement at hard la
Dor for one month and forfeiture of $1j
of pay.
Private Clayton Rowe Of the 47th Com
pany, Coast Artillery Corps, was convicted
of the charge Of absenting himself from
the Fort Hunt reservation without leave

Eighteen Hundred Quit Work.

AS a result of last nights meeting 1900
men will not return to work on the new
Northwestern station. The strike is the
climax of a long struggle between the
elevator constructors and the Otis Eleva-
tor Company, which has been employing
machinists to do the work of the other
organization. Some time ago Frank Nor
rfson, national secretary, directed the
Chicago central organization to back the
elevator constructors in the stand which
they had taken.
