BARGE MARYLAND LOST.
Pumps Became Clicked and Vessel
Went to the Bottom.

The barge Maryland, which was built
from the hull of the Inflated sdewheel
steamer Gen. SIocum, is reported to have
been lost in a recent storm on the At
lantic coast In the vicinity of Atlantic
City. The barge laden with coke was in
tow of the tug Asher j. Hudson, and was
on her way from Norfolk to New York,
when struck by heavy gale. Labor.ng
in the seas she began to leak and her
pumps became choked with the coke and
the members of her crew were unable to
free her. The tug went alongside and
after lying by the barge for several hours
was forced finally to take off her crew
Soon after doing this the vessel went to
the bottom and will be a total loss.
The loss of the Maryland recalls the ac-
cident to the steamer from which she
was built. The Gen. Slocum one summer
day about ten years ago started from New
York on an excursion with two thousand
Sunday school children, their teachers
and paren,s aboard. Ere was discovered
soon after she left her dock at New YORK,
and before t could be checked had spread
all over the ship and caused the loss OF
over a thousand lives. Capt. Van Schaik.
the master of the steamer after trla
n the United States courts, was SEN
to the penitentiaTy for criminal careless
ness in consequence of the accident and
was recently released from prison on a
pardon by the President

The vessel was brought to the shipyard

MARINE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Hook Breaks as Steamer Is Being
Hauled From Water.

AS the steamer Queen Anne Of the
fleet of the Potomac and Chesapeake
Steamboat Company was being hauled
out on the large marine railway at
Alexandria Wednesday, for the purpose
of allowing prospective purchasers of
the vessel to examine the hull under
water, the big hook in the front part
of the cradle gave way and allowed
the cradle and the steamer on it to
slide back into the water.
The accident occurred before the steam
er was entirely out of the water. and
when she went back the water broke
her Roadway. and she was not damaged.
The steamer was brought back to her dock
and may go to Baltimore to be locked
for examination. The accident to the
railway will put it out of commission
for a day or two, until the cradle can
be gotten back on the railway and
new hook made to hold the hauling
chain The schooner Cherubim is at
the shipyard to be hauled out for re-
pairs to her rudder, and will be taken
from the water as soon as the railway

Defends Recall of Judges.

There are many who hold that once
man becomes judge he becomes kind
of demi-god, one to whom we must kow-
tow, but never criticise or call to &C
count. / hold judge is to be revered
just SO long as he keeps his robes of Of
flee clean and deals out even-handed JUS
tice. But whenever he so far fO:gets
himself as to join the ranks of the crooks
or the profiigates he puts himself outside
the sacred barrier which custom has
placed around his Office. and is entitled
to no more consideration than the COM
mon criminal.
mo harm can possibly come from maxi
ing our judges subject to recall. No err
roneous or unpopular decision by judge
or personal grievance of litigant will
likely ever cause the people to so forget
themselves as to resort to the recall as
a means of persecution or retaliation. But
should it develop that a judge Is crooked
it surely would not imperil our system
of government or lower the dignity of the
courts if the same power which elevated
him to the bench-that of the people
should reach out, through the recall, take
him by the back Of the neck and shake
him loose from the sacred robes which, by
his conduct, he has seen fit to disgrace.

DISCUSSES THE EQUITIES
DISTRICT SHOULD BEAR COST

Equities are involved in the proposition
to establish in the District an adequate
police and fremens pension fund which
should be given careful consideration by
Congress, declared Representative Ben
johnson of Kentucky. chairman of the
House District committee, in an address
delivered last night at the housewarm-
ing held for the officers and men of chem
ical engine company No. 2 of the fire de-
part, District of Columbia, in Randle

First, there is to be considered, said
Mr.. Johnson, the question of who should
provide the fund. and. second the prob
lem of who should be the beneticiaries I'M
der it. 1t would be obviously unfair. he
pointed out, for the heroes and the cow
ards of the police and fire departments to
share alike the benefits of the fund.
The District committee chairman did
not say anything calculated to arouse
an abundance of hope in the advocate
of pension fund, but he did promise
that he would not form his own opinion
in the matter until he had investigated 1t
more fully.
