to kick were sadly hampered by the
fact that mis- ankles had already been
secured by means of half a dozen half
bitches and a square knot.
His hands attended to, his head was
released. Promptly he lifted 1t and
essayed to yell; an effort rendered
abortive by the gag that was thrust

In q twinkling she had lost herself to

mount and make of without delay.

DESTROYER ERICSSON MENACED
Two Compartments Of the Vessel
Flooded Tuesday Night,

PHILADELPHIA, July 24.-The Unit
ed States torpedo boat destroyer Erics-
son was almost sunk at her slip in
the yards Of the New York Shipbuild-
ing Company. 1t is alleged. by the
opening of a seacock which flooded
two compartments of the vessel Tues
day night, following tho mysterious
fire aboard the battleship Oklahoma
anchored on the other side of the same
slip.
Rear Admiral Benson. chief of naval
operations. who is acting Secretary Of
the Navy, today said that no reports
had been received at the Navy Depart
ment regarding the flooding of the de-
stroyer Ericsson.
Admiral Benson said that in the alb
sence of definite Information he be-
lieved the incident was the result Of
carelessness on tho part Of a work
man and not the act of an enemy. In
his opinion the flood came from a hose
and was not caused by the opening of
the seacock. The vessel still Is IN the
hands Of the contractors and has not

James Rumsey.
i, the Baltimore Sun.

From the Balcmo9e Gun.
Tho Rumseyan Society has decided to
place q suitable memorial to James
Rumsey. the inventor Of tho steamboat.
on the high BLUM overlooking tho waters
of the Potomac, where he demonstrated
his achievement in the presence Of many
notable men Of his day. Among the
witnesses was no less a parsonage than
George Washington. who gave Rumsey
a letter attesting his success Rumseys
trial trip on the Potomac, in 1875, an
tedated that Of John Fitch Of New Jer-
sey, on the Delaware, by three years.
and Of Fultons Clermont by about
twenty-one years.
Tho interesting point to Marylanders
about this reminisoence is that Rum
sey was a native Of Cecil county. in this
forgotten. But for the illness that ter
minated his life in London. where he
went to secure funds to perfect his In
vention. there seems little doubt that
the fame that has since been awarded to
Fulton would have been his without
dispute. Now West Virginia is about
to erect monument to him. while few
Marylanders even recall his name. Why

monuments in the Monumental city7
