The atmosphere in tbe navy-yard to-day was almost as hazy as when the bank of war fog swept over it ten days ago. Preparations are going on at the navy-yard here to put the vessels in condition to meet an emergency. Tbe dynamite cruiser Vesuvius is in the dry dock having her lighting tower protected with chain armor. This arrangement will afford an elective shield to those inside from tbe shot of the rapid-tiring guns; a glance shot . would bound olf, although a shot striking the tower full in the face might pierce the armor. In this tower are the levers for discharging the dynamite guns. The chain which is being used belongs to the vessel; it is hung around the turret and will be interlaced. Tbis is the way tbe Kearsargo was protected in her tight with the Alabama in July. IS&t When titted the chain will bn taken down to be put up again if needed. Some time ago the ship was examined with reference to putting Eome. additional platen on the hull to protect the vital parts. Tne report, however, has not been approved as yet No other work is being none on the ship, b'omo valves for her dynamite guns are being made, but these could be putin place when the vessel is in another part of the world. But it is not at all likelylthat the Vesuvius will bo sent to Chili. She is not of a conatruction to withstand the heavy weather to be expected near Cape Horn, nor is it probable that she could carry coal enough to steam the long distance. She would probably be kept on the home coast for purposes of defense, and especially against the Capitan Prat, if that vessel should come here. Tbe little torpedo-boat Cushicg is baving some of her torpedo tubes put in place. She lies in a cove in tbe Cob dock, and is likely to lie there for several weeks. Three tubes for launching torpedoes are to bo . put on board the vessel. The circles for them are now being made and fitted, on which will ie placed the mount, and tbe launching tube which is to go in the vessel's bow. tinder water, will be put into place. The work of tittlngthe monitor Miantonouiah tor sea is being pushed ahead at present, and it i said that the ship is ordered to be ready by Feb. 1. The principal work being done is that on the electric steering gear. Some of the parts of the machinery for this were ready yesterday. The decks are being caulked. Itisthoucht that when the vessel is ready for sea she may be ordered to sail to Norfolk, and, perhaps, to go further south, even as far as Brazil. The single-tnrreted monitor Nantucket still lies in tbe Grantie dry-dock, where she is being made ready for sea. Her bottom has been cleaned, and is being painted; her deck is being repaired, and the parts of the engines are being connected. The vessel is not to be put into commission, but ia to be merely made ready for sea. She is not receiving new guns in place of the old ones in her turret. There is now force of about 1.000 workmen employed in tbe navy-yard, who aro distributed throughout the different deEartments. The construction department as many, with some at work on the Maine, Cincinnati, Puritan and Terror, vessels in course of construction, besides the other vessels being repaired. The steam engineering department, tbe department of yards and docks, and soveral others, keep the rest of the men employ e 1. The orders to Kear Admiral Gberardi, the commandant of tho .North Atlantic squadron, to go with the Hag-ship Philadelphia and the gun-boat Concord to Montevideo is looked upon by the otticers as anticipating the President's message toCongressand the probable action upon It. The two vessels have sailed from Barbadoesandare now on their way to America. The orders to these vessels may be interpreted as meaning that they shall continue on to Chili. Acting Kear Admiral Walker bas also been ordered to go from Montevideo to Valparaison 3 itb tho Chicago. Atlanta and Bennington. When Admiral Gherardi reaches Chili be will be the senior oiilcer present, hence he will be in command of all the forces there. The Heet will then cousist of the Philadelphia, Chicago, Charleston. Baltimore. San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Yorictown. Concord and Benuington. aiieet of a total tonnage of 3J,(2.. and mounting ninety large breech-loading rules as a main battery and 124 rapid-tiring liotchkiss and Gatliug guns as a secondary battery. If the Newark should be ordered to Valparaiso she would add twelve large breech-loading rilles and seventeen guns in tbe secondary battery, and all of thee vessels of th new navy would make a formidable licet against the Chilians. Tho ran from Barbadoes to Montevideo is abont 4.500 miles, and as the Pbiladelpnia will steam at an economical rate she will probably go to Montevideo without recoalinfr. The Concord will probably stop at Babaia, which is miles from Barbadoes. TLo question of coal supply for the

Most Baking Powders Contain Ammonia or Alum; Cleveland's does notIt is made only of pure cream of tartar and soda, with a little flour added to keep the strength, nothing else. That is why Cleveland's baking powder is perfectly wholesome, does the work better and keeps food moist and fresh.

American cruisers might be partially solved by the seizure of Sandy Point, an interesting Chilian settlement in the Straits of Magellan, where there are extensive coal mines. As tbe placo is not fortified it wonld be easy of capture by even so small a force as tbe gun-boat Concord. In a taik with Secretary Tracy a few days ago on the Chilian matter, be remarked that should ther6 be actual hostilities there would be needed at least twenty thousand men for the shins, but tbe question was whether so many men could readily be obtained for active service. He remarked that the enlistments were so slow that it seemed necessary to adopt something more systematic than the present method of recruiting. He expressed himself in favor of tho plan suggested by CapL Henry Erben, commandant of the navy-yard, in a report to Secretary Tracy in October, IbSJ. On Tuesday the President submitted to Congress a communication from Secretary Tracy, accompanied by tbe report of the board of the navy officers appointed under the provisions of the naval appropriation bill to select a snitable site for a dry-dock at some point on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Secretary Tracy says that he approves the selection of Algiers, on the right bank of the Mississippi river, in view of the conditions found by the commission to exist there. This reservation ban now 3S4 feot front on the river, and a depth of 2.8S0 feet, and while for a navy-yard additional ground would bare to be purchased, this could be done at a reasonable price. A dispatch from Philadelphia says tbe Ohio will leave that port for the Charlestown navy-yard, Boston, at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. Several naval and ordnance officers arrived there to-night from Washington and will go as passengers on the steamship. On her arrival at Charlestown, Captain Sargent, who has been the Ohio's commander since the organization of the International Navigation Company, will, with the present crew, leave the vessel, and she will be turned over to the United States authorities. It has not yet been decided whether the Ohio will be converted' into a repair ship to the American squadron, or be used as a transport craft for carrying provisions and ammunition in -me of war. It is believed that tho B'..:1.!.. j hips Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and Conemaugh, all sailing under American colors and owned by the International Navigation Company, will be ordered to Boston as soon as they arrive at an American port. The Inman line HyerJCity of Paris and City ot New York and the Red Star line steamers Friesland, Weaternland and Noordland, vessels sailing under foreign colors but owned by American citizens, will, it is believed in well informed circles, be chartered by the government within a short time. They can be denationalized by act of Congross at short notice, if necessary, by means of an emergency bill, and it is even hinted that such a bill has been prepared by the House committee on foreign aiiairs. The city of Pari 8 has already been withdrawn from the company's service, and is now docked at Birkenhead. England, where the famous cruiser Alabama was built. Tho agents of tbe line here say that she is simply being overhauled preparatory to tho summer season, but it is believed that she is being prepared for any emergency that may arise requiring her use by the United States government in the transportation of troops and ammunition. Defense of Sea-Ports. New Yokk, Jan. 23. The prospect of a war with Chili has made the matter of coast defense a very interesting one to everybody. The defense of the maritime cities of this country, in case of an attack from a hostile lleet. is a subject of great importance, not only to these cities, but tbe country at large, since there is hardly a town or hamlet in the United States that would not be eflected in some detrimental way were the ports of entry of the country or any of the most important ones to be closed for any length of time, as would be the case were an enemy to succeed in capturing one or more of them. Their capture is by no means the only thing to be feared, nor perhaps is it the worst. With the modern artillery with which the vessels of most of the European navies are equipped, it would bo possible for the ships to lie'off Rockaway beach and drop shells into tbe heart of New York city, not to speak of Brooklyn, which is a mile or two nearer, and this with the hostile fleet beyond the reach of the guns of Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton. In fact, the harbor and city of New York are utterly defenseless. This condition of affairs was recognized by tbe War Department ten years ago, and steps were taken to remedy the condition of affairs. The Brooklyn Standard-Union reviews what has been done to strengthen the defenses of Brooklyn and New York, as follows: "The first thing to be done was to find out the best mode of defending the harbor, and to this end a corps of engineers under Gen. John Newton, who gained a great deal of fame through his engineering operations in the blowing up of Hell Gato. was detailed to make an examination of the lower bay and the approaches to it. and how best it conld be commanded from tho shore. There is a deep-water pocket approaching the coast of Long island from the ocean, from which the channels navigable to vessels of great draught run np through the narrows. It is in this pocket that a hostile fleet would anchor in order to shell New York or Brooklyn, and. therefore, it was this pocket that the engineer studied to command with defenses which it was proposed to erect. This anchoring is less than six miles away from the outlying wards of Brooklyn, eight miles from the East river and one mile further from New York. From this spot a hostile iron-clad with a modern gun could inllict incalculable damage npon the two cities, unparalleled in the history of war. General iNewton and his engineers found that this deep water-pocket, and, in fact, all the water surrounding it which, by any possibility would lloat an iron-clad, could be commanded by a battery erected at or near Coney island. The erection of a battery in Coney island or any other unprotected part of tbe coast was not feasible, however, as it would be a plain and easy target for tbe guns of tho enemy. General Newton and his assistants, there, fore.decided that Plum island would be the proper place for the battery. They found that the deep-water pocket could be brought under effective tire in a circle having Plum island in tbe center, with a radius of six miles. They therefore recommended that the government acquire Plum island and tho construction of a battery on it at once. This was not done at once, however. But recently, having secured the title to the property the government is now endeavoring to secure absolute control of the same by having it ceded to the United States by the State of Yew York. "The gun to be used at Plum island is to be a new pattern of a twelve-inch mortar that is known as a howitzer. It is, as are most of our heavy guns, the result of repeated trials ana experiments, and it was only after many failures that the present guu was evolved. The projectile used in this mortar weighs 23 pounds and costs $300. It can be dropped upon the deck of a vessel the most vulnerable part and will go riuht through tho best iron-clad in existence. Eighty pounds of powder will pend this projectilo a distance of eight miles. The gun will also throw shells containing high explosives, and enough nitroglycerine can be deposited npon the deck of a vessel to blow it into a thousand pieces. "In connection with Plum-island battery, it is the intention of the War Department to complete fortifications on Sandy Hook. At present no work is being done on Plnni island. as the appropriation has run out. It is likely that mortar batteries will also be placed at Fort Wadsworth. which, with tho Plum island battery, will defend tbe narrows, and on Davis island, which

lies between Long island and tbe main land at the entrance of Long Island sound. This wonld control the entrance by the sound to New York harbor, and in time additional batteries will be placed at Hewlett's point, which is the neit promontory beyond Willett's point, and at SandVs point on the sound. Tho present line of defense for the city on the north, or by way of the sound, runs from Fort Schuyler on the left to Willet'a point on the right. The new hue. with David's ' island on the left and 'Sand's point on the right, supported by Hewlett's point on the rear, will carry the defensive svstem at least six miles further out into the sound, and diminish the chances of a successful bombardment of New York by a hostile fleet. 4 "Mortar batteries will also be planted for the defense of Uoston. ban Francisco and other large coast cities. After the large and most exposed cities have been well protected, the general work of tho coast de

fense will be taken np, and mortars planted, . and guns erected at different points along tbe Atlantic and l'acirio coaits as fast as they are received by the War Department from the factories. Gen. II. L. Abbott, who is president of the board of engineers having the matter of coast defense in charge, has done much to enlighten the publio at large on the necessities of tbe times, in addition to pointing out tho correct lines upon which the engineers should work. He believes that there is no doubt as to the ultimate success of these mortar batteries, and declares that a few years will demonstrate that increase of mortar batteries will prove more elective in repelling a hostile fleet than any of tho rilled cannon now in use." Egan's Coarse in ChllL New Yokk, Jan. 23. A dispatch from Washington says: If Mr. Egan is recalled it will be only to leave the country with the American flag flying on his head, to go on board one or our cruisers, and thus end diplomatic relations between the United States and Chili. To show how Mr, Egan is regarded by the State Department. Assistant Secretary Abel said: "Mr. E can's course 4 in Chili bas been one only to merit praise. I consider Mr. Egan the best minister wo have in the service. I can say tbis con scientiously, because when he was appointed I thought, as perhaps others did, that it was risky to appoint a man who had not lived long in this country, but soon after his appointment Mr. Egan showed that he was a diplomate of ability, care and discretion. Through this case he acted in a most statesmanlike attitude. His telegrams have been lawyer-like in their ability and clearness. It is 'remarkable with what precision and accuracy he has stated all the circumstances. When the correspondence is read it will show that Mr. E pan's arguments on the right of asylum Of reruge are models of such documents and his knowledge of the facts, precedents and law in the caso is sound and accurate. His dispatches and his papers are all quite straightforward ana utterly lacking in any virulent statements. The publication of the correspondence will show that the disDatch in which Senor Matta accuses Mr. Egan of virulent ' language is as far from that characteristic as it possibly can be. Mr. Egan bas interpreted his instructions from this government in a manner that has gained the confidence of the departments. Mr. Egan, throughout this entire affair, has followed a course both statesmanliko and discretionary." From other sources in the State Department a corroboration is made of tbis clear and emphatio statement in regard to Mr. Egan, and the idea of allowing recall in any other way than with honor to Mr. Egan is emphatically denied. The London TImes's Lying Correspondent. New York, Jan. 21. The Herald's Santiago, Chili, correspondent cables as follows: "1 understand that British Minister Kennedy has made representations to his government relative to Thompson, the correspondent of the London Times, to the eilect that he has endeavored to influence publio feeling through the Times and other papers against United States Minister Egan by referring to matters entirely foreign to the question at issue between the United States and Chili, and dragging into the controversy tho British minister and the English government. There are strong and well-founded rumors that the Times will recall Thompson on this account Loyal North Dakotans. Bismarck, N. D.t Jan. 23. Col. Elliot Miller, of Jamestown, commanding the First Regiment of National Guards, has tendered to Governor Burke the services of his regiment in case of hostilities against Chili. He has about 450 men and oOicers, all of whom aro veil drilled. Train Held Dp Twice. Kansas City, Jan. 23. Last night was a thrilling one for the crew and passengers of the sontb-bound Missouri Facitio train. The train was held up twice; once by a lynching party that was escorting murderer Robert Hepler from Nevada, Mo., to Lamar, Mo., where they hanged him. and a second time by train-robbers, who robbed the express car and its inmates. The train had hardly left Nassau Junction, where the lynching party took possession of it, when a danger signal induced the engineer to slow np again. When tbo train came to a stand-still two masked men entered the express car and ordered the occupants to hold up their hands, keeping them covered with revolvers while the train traveled twelve miles to Lamar. The robbers rifled tho pockets of the trainmen, taking 75 from the baggageman, Hull, and small amounts from Express Messenger Houck and Traveling Agent Barrett, of the Missouri Pacific, who had gone to the express car to escape annoyance from the mob of lynchers in the rear car. The express messenger was compelled to reveal the combination of the Pacific Express Company's safe, and that was also rifled, the amount secured, however, being of an insignificant amount, less than $75. When tho train arrived at Lamar, the destination of tbe mob, the bandits mingled in the crowd of lynchers and for a time were lost sight of. One of the trainmen, however, soon discovered them boarding a passing north-bound freight train on tho Memphis road, and sent a dispatch to tbe sheritl and city marshal of Fort Scott, Kan., Baying: "Watch for two men, no baggage, rough appearance: one somewhat taller than the other. They are wanted for robbing Paciiio express, Missouri Pacino train bore this morning. Are. coming toward your city on a freight." At M rural station the freight was overtaken, but was just pulling out for Pleasanton when the passenger train arrived, the crew of the former train having no knowledge of the dangerous freight they were hauling. Detective Chester and his companions, however, succeeded in boarding the freight and took possession of the car immediately behind the one in which the bandits had taken refuge. The latter had seen their pursuers enter tho car and immediately opened lire upon them. The officers returned the fire, and shots were changed through the ends of the cars all the way to Pleasantou, a distance of five miles. A dispatch had been sent to Pleasanton asking that a posse meet the train, and when the freight pulled in the robbers' car was surrounded and the inmates were called on to surrender. They answered with shots from their revolvers a lad the posse returned the tire. The two imprisoned men tired through the sides of the car at random and the posse returned the fire with Winchesters and revolvers. The fusillade iaatea .nearly an hour. Finally a shot from the Winchester of one of the posse struck one of tho robbers in tho head and killed him. The othor bandft then surrendered, lie was seriously wounded in the side. He gave his name as Charles Myers, of Kansas City. Kan., but declined to reveal that of his dead companion. Tbe coroner held an inquest on the body of the dead robber and returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. Myers was taken back to Fort Scott The freight train arrived at Fort Scott at 7 o'clock this morning. Policeman 8. li. McLeinore, colored, was on duty at the station, and saw two suspicions looking characters of tho description given in the dispatch get off the train. He halted them, when one of tbe men drew his revolver and fired. Tbe bullet pierced the policeman's heart, and he dropped dead on the spot It so happened by this time the freight train was just pulling out, and the robbers boarded an empty box-car and locked themselves in. Shortly' afterwards the passenger train from Lamar arrived, and on it was detective Chester, of the Missouri Pacific road, who wasin pursuit of the bandits. Accompanied by United States Marshal Mapes and City Marshal Abbott, of Fort Scott, he boarded the passenger train which pulled out immediately in pursuit of tbe freight. Tbe police of Kansas City, Kan., received tbe following tebgram to-night from Charles Myers, the wounded robber, now at

Fort Scott: - "Tell my wife it is us. Tell ber not to come. I am badly wounded.'' The "us" evidently includes C. S. Francis. He and Myers married sisters and were professional gamblers. Francis was a cousin of Governor Francis, whom he greatly resembled, and a nephew of Judge Cowan, of tit Louis. He was heir to an estate near Baltimore. Md., bequeathed him in trust by his father, the proceeds of which he received. Myers's father is a wealthy stockman living near Versailles, Mo. Legislation for Germans. Copyright, 1692, by the New York Associated Press.1 Berlin, - Jan. 23. The dissensions between Herr Miquel, Imperial Minister of Finance, and Chancellor Von Caprivi, in relation to the sectarian education bill, have reached such an acute stage that the resignation of the Finance-Ministeris looked for at any minute. Herr Miquel is not quite alone in the Ministry in urging such modifications in the measure as will enable the children of parents who are neither Catholics nor orthodox Lutherans to escape being subjected to compulsory religious teaching. Ministers Herr Furth and Schelling, on grounds of policy, partly side with him, but if the crisis leads to a Cabinet rupture, Herr Miquel is certain to find himself alone in retiring. The more the bill becomes known the more the opposition from tho National. Liberal and Freisetinige parties. Their opposition is so absolute that no compromise is possible. The Conservatives also regard the proposals with increasing disfavor. Tho popular sense of justice revolts against a measure which will force Methodists, Old Catholics, Unitarians and deists and free-thinkers generally to have their children educated in some state-recognized creed. The sects which the bill admits as duly Qualified religious societies are Moravians. Quakers, Greeks, Anglicans. Jews and old Lutherans. Parents who are neither Catholics or Lutherans can profess to bo adherents of any of these sectsand can have their children educated in accordance therewith. But the Kmperor, whose pet ideas are embodied in the proposals, means to stamp out religious communities having a liberal bias and will not surrender on a single point of the measure. ' . The teachers in tho primary schools, between whom and the clericals a profound antipathy often exists, are dismayed at the prospect of being placed- under the thumb of the priests. Many of them who are suspected of having broad views will bo cleared out as, soon as, tho law is put in opt ration. . It. is. doubtful whether .Chancellor Von Caprivi himself approves of the bill. His speeches in its def ense laok their usual zest, but having accepted the position of voice of the imperial bill, he must carry the matter through. The Bundcsrath has finally approved tho suppression of immorality bill, with its sweeping clauses -dealing with souteners. prostitutes, procurers and dealers in immoral works. Procurers are liable to a month's imprisonment and to fines ranging from 150 to 0,000 marks. Those found guilty of aggravated offenses are subject to terms of imprisonment of from one to five years. The heaviest punishment that can be inflicted on married souteners is tho minimum prescribed for persons of that classone year's imprisonment ..The law provides that all ottenders embraced by the act shall be placed in solitary confinement and shall be supplied with only a plank bed and bread and water. Already tho police are taking the law from theEniperor to enforce the provisions of the act, and Berlin, Hamburg and other cities are being cleared of the eocial evil. Many hundreds of Immoral men and women have already been imprisoned. Theso measures, applied nnder the ignorant dictation ot a reforming despot, are held by thinking men as being of small avail in effecting a radical enre for the evils attacked. In a number of cases gross injustice bas been done through the arrest by the police of workmen out of employment as souteneurs. ' Several hundred suspected persons are now confined in the Moabil prison awaiting trial under the act, on charges made by the police and other Informers. . Appeal to Hooslers. The following petition to the generosity of the people of this city and State in behalf of the famine-stricken people of Mexico, who have been long suffering on account of the failure of thoir agricultural department, is published at the instauce of the persons whose names' are subscribed to To the generous and .Mhuirted citizens of Indiana this appeal Is addressed: Firm In the faith that every man and woman in this irreat and prosperous mate recognizes tbe goodness and mercy of the overliving God in tho great and abundant harvest which during tho pnt year was have been blessed. Our garners are full to overflowing. Peace and plentv, contentment and assured prosperity is our fortunate condition. Let us not stop our ears or harden our hearts to the cry of three million starving Mexicans that have come to us for bread. With onr abundance and to spare, tbe common brotherhood of humanity should touch every heart-string, and prompt us to relieve the unfortunate and famine-stricken peoplo without unnecessary delay. , The Mexican' government fully realizes tho dire necessity of iU stricken people, and thankfully in the namo of the government accepts proffered aid. It is therefore proposed to make a free gift of twenty car-loads of corn and corn product to theae starving people. Tbe Mexican government will assume the responsibility of its distribution. We trust that from every section of the State of Indiana contributions of corn and money will bseent in to Mr. Jacob B. Smith, secretary of the Indianapolis Board of Trade. Every donation, no matter how large or small, will, be duly acknowledged by Mr. Smith, and the names or all of tho contributors forwarded to the Mexican government. This gift Is reeogulzed by the government as coming exclusively from Indiana and Indianians, and we urge immediate action on tbe part of tho generous river. , The appeal is signed by Ira J. Chase.

The electrio streetcar strike situation is still strained and serious trouble may occur at any time. The strikers' sympathizers still concontinue to annoy the company by placing obstructions on the tracks, and an occasional stone is thrown at passing cars from dark alleys, but no open attempt has been made since last night to prevent the running of cars. This is due to the vigilance of the police, who are deter.mined to preserve order at any cost. Tbis wasnav-davat several mills in the lower

portion cf Allegheny and an outbreak was feared. As a precaution tho Mayor stopped all the saloons in that district and au extra force of officers was detailed to patrol the streets. The crowd was out in force and the streets wero thronged, bnt no trouble occurred. In all about thirty cars were running to-day. but every one was under police protection, an officer riding in front and another on the platform with the conductor. The cars are poorly patronized, as the citizens are afraid to travel on them. A motion for an injunction restraining the strikers from interfering with the running of the road was heard by Judge McClnug to-day, and he promised to give a decision at an early day. Three of the four men arrested for raisin? a. disturbance on Beaver avenue last night were fined this morning, and upon the fine being paid wero released. The fourth was sent to tho workhouse for fifty days. Want Applications Sent In Early. Minneapolis. Jan. 23. The committees in charge of the coming Republican convention, to be held in this city J uuo 7. are all in working order and have got their plans well under way. Tho committee on accommodations will appeal most strongly to the country at large at tbis time, the object of this committee being to secure comfortable quarters for all visitors at convention time, thus avoiding the crowding and inconvenience incident to so many conventions. The committee wish to book as many applications as possible very early so as to avoid the rosh just before tho convention opens. Mr. Conunt, the secretary of the committee, will see that all applicants for rooms are well cared for. All correspondence relative to accommodations should be sent at tbe earliest possible moment to Edward M. Con ant, Minneapolis. , To He Shot at Sunrise. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 3.

He and his forces, however, met the Uarza men a short distance from Mier and the revolutionists wero defeated in a sharp engagement that ensued. Gen. Lorenzo Garcia, the commander, of the northern military zone of Mexico, was not satisfied with the action of Hernandez, and ordered him to be placed under arrest and conveyed to Monterey in irons. This was done, and Hernandez, upon his arrival at Monterey, was placed in the military prison, where ho has been treated with unusual cruelty during the past few weeks. His court-martial began a few days ago, and vvas conducted with the utmost secrecy. The jury rendered its verdict to-day at noon. The death sentence was pronounced. Hernandez bore the sentence with tho bravery born of a soldier. He will be shot at sunrise Monday morning. New Hampshire Judges Denounced. Concord, N. II., Jan. 23. Senator Chandler bas renewed his war on State dignitaries by an open letter six columns long. Inferring to IVew Hamp6ire's judges, he says: Thero is much need of fearless comment on many of the past and completed acts of our judges. Some of them ride free on Boston &, Maine railroad passes. Their names are on the list. 1 think some also ride free on the Concord & Montreal railroad. The judges' salaries were raised 500 each in 1S31 with the one distinct object of keeping them from riding free. The judges unconstitionally appoint the State Board of Equalization and this judges' board, whoso members, except one, Mr. John M. Hill, ride free on railroads, thoy have undervalued at least 50 per cent for taxation purposes. The railroads are valued at $2O.?y5.O0O, when they should be valued at 57.7S5,00a, They pay only 82C3.S43 in taxes when they should pay at least S13,739.
