The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1912-04-26
KIND WORD FOR PROG
RESSIVE CANDIDATE
[Greenville Tribune, Rep. ]

That Mr., Bryan feels sufficient interest
in the candidacy of Editor Browne to
come to Greenville and speak in his be-
half as a delegate to the National con-
vention, is certainly some reward for that
editor, who for years has been fighting
for the Bryan ideas.
The question now is, having helped so
many other Democrats into Office, can
Editor Browne help himself into place
as a delegate to the National convention,
a place that involves nothing but expense
to a man, and which is an honor that is
being bestowed upon newspaper men
throughout the country.
OF course, we feel an interest in the
campaign of Editor Browne and we feel
that the Democrats of Darke County owe
their support to him, for he has made
some hard fights for his party,

close quarters and put n shot into the
Varuna's stack, following 1t up with
one that struck her pivot gun, cutting
down several men. Under cover Of the
smoke the Moore then rammed the
sloop twice in the same spot. The Va
runa, however, planted a broadside
into the Moore and set her on fire with
shells. The Federal ship drifted to
the shore and sank.
The Moore Destroyed.
Kennon next turned to the feet ap-
proaching from below. The first ship
was the Oneida, whose broadside the
Moore had felt at the forts during the
midnight encounter. In fact, the Moore
had been cut up by the broadsides Of
three ships and her decks swept by
shrapnel at close quarters. She had
barely a working force left, and when
Kennon gave orders to dash into the
approaching feet his chief officer at the
helm fatty refused, saying, "It is MUIR
der" The vessel itself was in a sorry
plight. All the steering gear was de-
stroyed, part of the walking beam shot
away, the cylinder cracked and the
engine room filed with steam. The
Oneida completed the wreck with a
broadside. Kennon beached his ship

Farragut Fighting Fire.
The Hartford soon after passing Fort
Philip encountered blazing fire raft
which was pushed against her side by
n tugboat. Farragut called away his
firemen and stood by until they put out
the fre, which climbed halfway 10 the
tops. On the burning sides the flames
drove the Hartford men from their
guns, and Farragut shouted: Don't
finch at that fire. boysl Give that ras
cally little tug shot! Don't let her
escapew The tug was sunk. Already
the Hartford had thirty-twO shot holes
in her hull and rigging.
While Farragut was lighting fire the
Brooklyn lay for time dead In the
current under the guns Of Fort Jack
son. She would have been blown out
of water had the enemy fred low, but
their beach guns were out of range
and those on the parapet could not be
depressed enough to strike a ship near
shore. The Brooklyn opened with
shell and shrapnel on the fort and kept
1t up until the Hartford was clear OF
the fire raft and her flames eXtin-
gulshed. Then she steamed up the riV-
er and beaded for the lronclad Loulsl-
ana, which lay moored to the bank
above Fort Philip. The Louisiana fred
a couple of shots at the Brooklyn, then
closed her port shutters to receive the
Brooklyn's broadsides.
One of the Louisiana's nine inch
shells, large enough to blow the sloop
out Of water, landed in the Brooklyn's
timbers, but did not explode because
the Confederate gunners in their hurry
had failed to remove the lead patch
from the exploding fuse. Passing on
and leaving the Louisiana, the Brook
lyn got a blow from the ram Manassas
and at the same time a shot from the
ram which smashed through the plank
ing and lodged in a sand bag barri-
cade. The ram lay so low in the wa
ter that the Brooklyn's guns could not
strike her.
It was still dark and the river yelled
In smoke. One strange ship which
passed the Brooklyn close on the port
side would have been sent to the bot
tom by broadside, but at the moment
of firing a voice on the deck of the
sloop called out: Don't shoot!
It's the Iroquoisp' The order was

Surrender of the Forts.

While Farragut was thus proceed

and smoke and blazing guns Captain
POrter's mortar feet bombarded the
water batteries at the forts. At noon
of the 25th, when the main Federal
feet was known to have anchored in
front of the city Of New Orleans, Por-
ter hailed Fort Jackson to surrender
The Confederate commander, General
J. K. Duncan, replied that he must
first hear from New Orleans. Porter
kept up the bombardment until April
%, when Duncan concluded that Cen
eral Mansfield Lowell, his chief at
New Orleans, had left him to his fate
and holsted the white flag.
The officers who were to arrange
terms of capitulation met on board
the historic little steamer Harriet
Lane, which had played a part at
Fort Sumter. After Porter had sign
ed, Commander Wainwright Of the
Harriet Lane took up the pen. Just
at the moment he was called from the
cabin by an officer, and he quickly re-
turned with the startling news that
the Confederate ironclad Louisiana
was in flames, drifting downstream
into the group Of Federal vessels an
chored before the fort, and she was
liable to blow up at any moment
Porter said to the Confederate officers
who were yet to sign: "If you can

HOLD ELECTION LATER
Council Takes no Action to
Fill Vacancy Caused by
Death of j. I'll. O'Brien.
CITY ATTORNEY TO DECIDE

The question of an election to fill
the vacancy on the common council
caused by the death Of the late Alder
man James III. O'Brien, was taken up
by the council at the meeting on Mon
day evening. There will be no unseen.
iy haste in the matter and the council
will probably act at its next meeting.
The desk of the former alderman has
been draped in mourning for thirty
days and the new man will not be
named until after the period of
mourning is over.
1t is not certain just what must be
done in order to make the election
legal and the council directed the city
attorney to study the ever changing
election laws and report to the coun-
Gil the steps necessary to fill the va
cancy at the next meeting of the
council If the city were working I'M
der the general charter law it would
be possible for the council to elect a
successor to Alderman O'Brien, but
working under the special charter it
is probable that the matter will have
to go to the people at special cleo
ton. Copies Of the new non partisan
election law passed by the legislature
at the special session have not as yet
been sent to the city and City Attor-
ney Slater will get in touch with the
secretary of state and get a copy Of
the law and find out just what is nee
essary in order to make the election
legal. 1t is generally believed that it
will be necessary to hold both pri-
mary and an election, but the city
attorney believes that it is possible
under the new law to have one election
as both primary and city election.
This would make it possible for all
the candidates to get into the race and
the one receiving plurality would be
named to fill the vacancy. Tt IS
thought that the attorney will have
|all of the kinks in the trouble ironed
out by the next meeting of the council.
