This great sea fight ecurred off Cherbourg, France, Sunday, June 19, 1864. That morning the Kearsarge \ Ae on the mouth of the harbor of Cherbdurg, France. The Alabama was es- |corted out of the harbor by the French frigate Couronne to a distance three ma- [rine miles from the shore, when the for- |elgner turned back, seeing that the battle | Was to be fought outside of French juris- 0, | diction. The Kearsarge had put out to |Sea, it being the intention of Capt. Winslow, who commanded the ship, to draw his adversary as far away from neutral territory as possible. Bearing Down Upon E: Other. ‘When about seven miles off shore, and at 11 o'clock, Capt. Winslow put his helm down, the ship came about, and was head- ed direct for the enemy. The two vessels seemed as if they were trying to run each other down, but when they had approached within a mile of each other they suddenly sheered aside. A puff of white smoke ran along the Ala- bama’s side; then the boom of great guns, and the crew of the Kearsarge listened to the hurtling of solid shot through the air. The aim was not good, and the missiles whistled harmlessly through the rigging, dropping into the sea far to windward or falling short of their mark. Capt. Winslow increased his speed, bearing down upon the enemy silently at the pace of a race | horse, but without firing a gun. The Ala- bama fired two more broadsides with no better effect than the first one. The crew |of the Kearsarge stood grimly by their guns, knowing that their time was coming . | Soon. | When the two ships were less than a thousand yards apart the Kearsarge shee: ed a bit and let the enemy have her star- board battery. Its effect was instantly seen. The crash of timbers was plainly heard as the solid shot plowed through the Alabama's frame. A great shout went up from the Kear- sarge and Capt. Winslow, looking at the enemy, saw that one of his shot had car- tied away the Alabama's ensign, and as it fluttered down the Union sailors took it as a good omen and cheered it. Another en- sign was quickly hoisted at the mizzen. Both ships appeared being raked fore and aft and, keeping their helms hard down, they moved in a circle, banging away with starboard bat- teries at a distance of a little less than half |a mile apart. By the time a half dozen broadsides had been exchanged Capt. Winslow noticed that the enemy's fire was | rapid, so rapid in fact as to make the {aim inaccurate. His own gunners, how- ever, were most deadly deliberate and every shot was made to tell. Even the men could | see this effect and vented their appre- | ciation of it in cheers. On the Decks of the Kearsarge. They warmed up to action and jackets anc shirts were peeled off while the tars worked the great 9-inch pivot gun with a will. There was no disorder on the Kea’ sarge notwithstanding the enthusiasm, and }each man kept his station, fulfilling his duty with the regularity of clock work. In the early part of the fight a sixty- pounder shell exploded on the quarter deck of the Kearsarge and wounded three men at the after pivot gun. They were quickly carried below and only those immediately hurt. A few minutes after this the ship's bell sounded the fire alarm, but this most dreaded of summons aboard ship caused no relaxation of the work at the guns. A crew had been detailed for just such {an emergency and they rushed to their quarters. A shell had exploded in the ham- mock nettings, setting the ship on fire, but the fire was soon extinguished. After having gone eight times around the circle in which the two ships were fighting |{t was seen that the Alabama was settling | by the stern. Her commander evidently realized her condition, for he put about with the intention of escaping into neutral waters. When she came around it w: seen that only two guns of her port bat- tery were working. Her side was shot away. The Kearsarge poured another deadly volley into the already disabled ship. A White Fing. At this last broadside a white flag was shown over the stern of the Alabama and a small boat was dispatched to the Kear- sarge with an ‘officer, who declared the sur- render of the Alabama and begged for as- sistance. The Alabama was sinking fast |and her decks were incumbered with dy- jing and wounded men. Her small boats |were shot away and unless help was | promptly rendered all must drown. | While the Kearsarge yet remained some distance away from the wreck the shatter- | ed hulk plunged out of sight, sinking stern foremost in 275 feet of water. An English | yacht which had been watching the battle | steamed up and at the request of Capt. Winslow commenced to rescue the Ala- bama’s crew, Who were floating around on | spars and bits of wreckage. She picked up Capt. Semmes, Executive Officer Kell, twelve officers and twenty-six men, and im- | mediately sailed for English waters. Nine sailors and Surgeon Lewellyn were drown- ed. Nine of the crew were killed outright and twenty-one were wounded. ‘This was the end of the famous Alabama, which for two years had scoured the seas in every quarter of the globe, destroying federal shipping valued at $15,000,000 and virtually sweeping the merchant flag of the United States from the ocean. The fight was prearranged. A week before while the Kearsarge lay at anchor off Flushing, Capt. Winslow was advised that the Alabama was in the harbor of Cher- bourg. He immediately set sail for that port, where he found the Alabama. The Alabama had put into Cherbourg for re- pairs, and when Commander Semmes saw thé Kearsarge he sent her a challenge to fight. It was accepted with the result as shown. ‘The two ships were almost evenly match- ed in size and armament, but the Kear- sarge possessed one vital advantage which proved her salvation. Her sides were Bheathed with heavy chain cable, forming an impenetrable barrier of iron, but which was concealed by a thin covering of deal boards. Virtually, therefore, she was an armored man-of-war fighting an unarmored cruiser. Capt. Semmes has often said he would not have fought the Kearsarge had he known that her sides were protected with chain cable. The only shot which struck the Kearsarge that could have dene any damage was the shell which lodged in her stern post--the shell which did not ex- lode. Pithe plece of the sternpost of the Kear- sarge, in which the unexploded shell is im- bedded, is preserved in the naval museum in the navy yard in this city as an inter- esting relic of the war. During the G. A. R. encampment here in September, 1892, a full-sized reproduction of the Kearsarge formed the central attraction of Reunion place. ———__+e--_____ A desperate fight occurred at Mount Pleasant, in Harlan county, Ky., Monday night, in which Will and John Turner were killed instantly by Dr. Wm.

Those Who Attended the Former Meet- ing Staid Away From This One— A Conference Committee, In response to the call for a public meet- ing of the citizens of this town, signed by Mr. E. M. Burchard and others, “to con- sider wht changes are required in the draft of the proposed new charter as introduced in the state senate by Senator Bowie,” about sixty citizens met at Mechanics’ Hall last evening. Very few persons, it is claim- ed, who voted for the proposed new charter at the recent citizens’ meeting were present. Mr. E. M. Burchard called the meeting to order at about 8 o'clock, stated its object, and said in substance that there had been much discussion in regard to the charter, which was sent back by Senator Bowie, but that the senator had returned it for exam- ination and amendment, when he was in- formed by the committee which visited An- napolis and objected to the proposed new charter that the people had not the oppor- tunity to examine its contents, as he thought that the committee's request to give them a chance to properly understand and cor- rect it was reasonable. Dr. 8. C. Cox was then made chairman of the meeting and Mr. G. D. Fox secretary. On motion of Mr. J. H. Ralston it was de- cided to take the charter up and consider | it by sections. Section 3, relating to the | town limits, was amended so as to read, “Said stone at northwest corner of sub- division made by R. P. Evans,” after the words “Thence in a direct line to a stone on the south side of the public road leading to Bladensburg.” This section was also amended so as to strike out the words “Thence with said line easterly to the Wa: ington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad; thence with easterly boundary of | said railroad right-of-way southerly to the Alexandria junction of said railroad; thence | with the eastern boundary of the right-of- way of said Alexandria branch road to the center of the Eastern branch of the Poto- mac river,” words “Thence with said Riverdale line fol- lowing its courses to the center of the east branch of the Eastern branch of the Poto- mac river and with the center of sald branch to the place of beginning.” In sec- tion 4, concerning the election of commis- | sioners, the words “unless a freenolder” were stricken out. Section 5, regarding the meetings of the commissioners, was amend- ed as follows: “That it shall be the duties of the commissioners to hold regular month- ly meetings at some stated+time and fixed by them and as often in addition as may be sg Section 6, in to the hours for keep- ing open the polls, was amended so as to make them from 1 to 7 o'clock p. m. instead of from 12 m. to 6 p. m. In section 13, con- cerning the election of commissioners, or treasurer, the word “assessor” was insert- ed. In section 14, relating to the powers of commissioners and preventing animals from running at large “in the streets” were stricken out. The Assessment Clause. Mr. Ralston attacked what he considered the weak points in section 16 and objected to an assessment being made once in four years and what he termed getting rid of the town treasuref from the board of as- sessors, and moved that the whole section be stricken out and that section 165 of the old charter, with the single change making the two assessors elective, which is as fol- lows, be inserted in its place: Section 165. It shall be the duty of the treasurer, together with two assessors, to be annually elected by the citizens, to assess annually, before each annual levy of taxes upon the same, and within such time as the board of commissioners shall fix, each and every piece of land separately, with the im- provements thereon, and all personal prop- erty within said town, at a fair cash value at public sale as near as they may be able to determine the same, and showing in said assessment, in the case of land, each piece of land and the improvements thereon, separately, with the assessment value there- of, and the name of the owner thereof, and for such services the said treasurer and assessors shall receive such reasonable compensation as the board of commissioners of said town may fix by law before the assessment. The Rate of Taxation. The motion was carried, and section 165 was adopted. Mr. Ralston also attacked section 17, which provides for the assess- ment of town property at the rate of 40 cents on the $100, stating that it was a mis- take to have a high rate of assessment, as it kept people away from the town. He then moved that section 17 be stricken cut as a whole, and that section 166 of the old charter be adopted in its place. This motion was carried, with a slight amend- men, that the rate of assessment be 25 cents on the $100 instead of 15 cents. The following is section 166, as amended: “Sec. 166. Immediately after the comple- | id around them knew than any one had been | Jon of sald assessment, said treasurer shall notify the president of the board of com- missioners, who shall give public notice of the facts by posting notice thereof in three conspicuous places in said town, and said assessments shall thereupon be open to the inspection of all citizens of said town; and if any owner of said assessed so assessment, he may appeal to the board ot commissioners of said town within fifteen days after the posting; and the said board of commissioners are hereby constituted a final board of appeal and equalization of said assessment, and as such are empow- ered, with a political view for the govern- ment and benefit of the community, to make such deductions from and additions to the assessments made by the assessor as may be reasonable and just, and correct errors or illegal assessments; upon the per- fection and final completion of said assess- ment roll, the board of commissioners shall levy a tax upon all the property embraced therein, not exceeding 25 cehts per annum per $100 of the valuation thereof, and shall deliver to the treasurer their warrant for the collection thereof, which shall be col- lected as provided in the act of which this is an amendment.” Levying an Extra Tax. Section 18 was also stricken out on motion of Mr. Ralston, and the following section inserted: “That whenever the board of commissioners shall be satisfied that the public necessities require expendi- | tures beyond the usual receipts of the town they may call an election, giving ten days’ public notice, by placing in three con- spicuous places in the town previous to election notices of the time and place of election and the purpose for which money is required, and submit to the voters of the town the question whether for that current year the commissioners shall have the power to levy for the purpose named an additional tax not to exceed 25 cents on the $100 of the total assessed valuation of the town. The board of commissioners may enact all needful regulations for the conduct of said election. In case an affirm- ative vote shall result the tax may be collected in the manner prescribed for other general taxes.” Section 21 was also stricken out and section 166 A of the old charter inserted in its place, with the words “‘such propor- tion” bell used instead of “hereby in proportion,” and a clause added requiring the sidewalks to be not less than four feet in width. This section, as amended, is as follows: “166 A. The board of commissioners may, whenever they may be satisfied that the public health, comfort or convenience re- quires it, construct sidewalks, curbing, gut- ters and sewers along the streets, avenues, roads and alleys of said town, charging one-half the cost of such construction upon each tract or piece of abutting property to be benefited hereby in proportion that the number of front feet of each of such pieces or tract shall bear to the whole length of said sidewalk, curbing, guttering and sewer- ing, and may enforce the collection of such sssessment in the same man- ner as the collection of general taxes may be enforced by the title and subtitle of which this act is amendatory. Any side- walk so constructed to be not less than four feet wide. Powers of the President. Sections 23 and 25 were stricken out and sections 23 and 25 of the old charter, which read as follows, inserted in their places: “And be it enacted, That the president shall preside at all meetings of the commission- ers, and shall have all the powers of a jus- tice of the peace in criminal cases where the commissioners are a party, and shall receive the same fees allowed a justice of the peace in similar cases; and an appeal from his judgment, where the demand or fine exceeds $5, may be taken to the circuit court, Prince George's county, which shall hear and determine the matte- as upon ap- peals from justices of the peace. “And be it enacted, That any fines, penal- and insert as a substitute the | in the streets, the words | it bless i i 8 & for medicinal or scientific purposes. This was objected to by several was consequently referred to a A Vote of Thanks. The following resolution, offered by Ralston, was then unanimously passed? “Resolved, That this meeting extend its cially Senator Bowie, for performing their | duty to the people of this town, and afford- ing them the opportunity to examine and amende ase revise the recent imperfect proposed ed charter introduced into the sembly, ture from Prince George's county.” After some discussion the following reso= | lutions, offered by . Burchard, were adopted: “Resolved, That the object of this meeting is to perfect the draft of the pro- posed new charter for the first time before | @ public meeting in such form as to rende? this possible. Resolved.further,That com- mittee of five be appointed to confer with the committee of the previous | use e effort to reconcile honest to present the work of this meeting at An-, napolis without delay.” The chairman was given a day or so in which to appoint the committee. The meet |ing then adjourned. Orde> ‘prevailed | throughout the meeting. The Charter Favorably Reported.
