Cramer, who have been conducting a grocery business at No. 318 Yth street northwest, conveying all of the steck and fixtures of the sthre to Frank T. 3rowning to secure creditors, was filed to- day in the office of the recérder of deeds. The trustee is to take porsession of the prop- erty and to convert it into money and to pay all the debts of the first named parties. ‘The indebtedness is given at $6,485. Gancer. Mrs. S. M. Idol, Winston, N. C., writes: “Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, sister and aunt having died from this dreadful disease. I was thoroughly alarmed, therefore, when a malignant Cancer appeared on my side, and at once sought the treatment of the best physicians. They were unable to @o any good, however, as the Cancer con- tinued to grow worse and spread. 1 then tried 8. 8. S., which forced the disease out and cured me permanently.” S.S.S. "the Blood (Swift Specific) is the only hope for Cancer; it cures the most malignant cases. Our treatise on Cancer sent free by the Swift Specific Co., At- Janta, Ga. a THE BATTLE SHIP ILLINOIS. TO JOIN THE NAVY Launch of the Battleship Illinois Next Tuesday. OUR BIGGEST FIGHTING MACHINE Will Rank With Any Others in Matter of Speed. FINE SEAGOING POWERS The biggest. most powerful end probably the most generally effective battle ship in the United States navy will glide off the ways at the yard of the Newport News Shipbuilding Company Tuesday at 11 o'clock. ‘This will be the Silinois, which 1s expected by the naval designers to be a worthy godchild of the state whose name she bears. Larger by a thousand tons than the Oregon, larger than the Iowa, now the biggest battle ship in service, the Illinois is still so designed that she will be abie to enter any harbor open to the smaller battle ships, while in the matter of speed she will k with any of them. ‘The most striking difference between the Illinois and tne battle ships now in ser- vice is the high freeboard of the former, enabling her to fight her guns from their great elevation above the water in seas so heavy that the guns of the lower vessels would be submerged and useless. Splendid s€a-going powers are also expected to re- sult from this increased freeboard, by which is meant the height of the hull above the water lne. Some of the details of the great ship, which vary in many important paruculars ; from the existing types, are given in the following description, Constructor Hichborn: ., Dimensions. ‘The dirrensions of the Illinois are as fol- lows: Length on load water line, 368 feet; beam, extreme, 72 feet 2% inches; draft on normal displacement of 11,525 tons, 23 feet 6 inches; maximum displacement, all am- munition and stores on board, 12,325 tons; maximum indicated horse power (estimated), 10,000; probable speed, 13% knots; normal coal supply, 860 tons; coal supply, loose storage, 1,200 tons; full bunker capacity, 1,400 to 1,500 tons, complement of officers, 40; seamen, marines, etc., 449. The main battery will consist of four 13- inch, breech-loeding rifles, in Hichborn bal- anced turrets, oval in shape, and placed in the center line of the vessel, and fourteen 6-inch rapid-fire guns. The secondary bat- tery will consist of sixteen 6-pounder, rap- id-fire guns, four 1-pounder, rapid-fire guns, two Colt guns and two field guns. She will carry four torpedo tubes. The 13-inch guns have an arc of fire of 135 degrees on each side of the center line, and the 6-inch an are of %) degrees on the broadside, with the advantage of those on the upper deck of a direct fire ahead and astern. Any in- jury to or near either of these 6-inch guns will be confined to its own compartments, as a 1%-inch steel splinter bulkhead separates each of these guns from its neighbor. Armor. The armor belt, which extends from the stem to abaft the after turret, is to be 16% inches thick at the top and %% inches thick at the bottom, except at the forward end, where it will be tapered to 4 inches at the stem. This belt armor will extend from 4 feet below the normal load line to 3% feet above i, and will maintain the full thickness amidships between the turret and for the distance occupied by the engines and boilers. Diagonal armor, 12 inches thick, connecting this belt armor and bar- bettes, and extending fromm the slopes of protective deck to top of the side belt on each side, is worked to give protection from a raking fire. Abaft the after turret the protection will be completed by thickening the protective deck to 4 inches on the slopes, with 2% inches on the flat. On the slopes of this deck forward it is 3einches thick and 2% inches on the flat. The armor on the 13-inch gun turrets will be 17 inches on the front and 15 inches on the rear and sides, while on the barbettes for these tur- rets, which are circular in shape, will be 15 inches on the front and 10 inches on the rear and sides. The sides of the vessel above the belt armor in wake of the 6-inch battery, and forming the casemate, will be armored with 5% Inches of steel, extending between the turrets with diagonal armor of same thickness at ends. connecting with the barbettes, as worked above the 12-inch diagonal armor below. Compartments. She will be protected against the entrance of water, in case of injury to the side, at the water line, by cofferdams extending for the length of the vessel on each side, and having a general width of three feet, with a total capacity of about 12,500 cubic feet, for stowage of fireproofed corn-pith cellulose. Independent of the numerous small water- tight pockets or cells forming the entre scheme of cofferdams, the inner bottom and hold, the platforms, splinter and berth decks, are divided into between two hun- dred and three hundred water-tight com- partments, both for the accommodation of the motive power and the stowage of coal, provisions, ammunition and other stores, and also for the preservation of the ship in the event of rupture of the outer skin, or injury in battle. All these many compart- ments are provided with pipes connecting with powerful steam pumps, for the pur- pose of removing any water that may get in them either from aceldent or design. Arrangements are alsg madp for flooding all ammunition rooms {pn the event of fire on board the vessel. All tHese compart- ments, together with all living spaces, state rooms, etc., occupled the officers or crew, have special pipes or ducts ar- ranged with a view of ‘Supplying fresh air to the occupants, and to make the tempera- ture of all store rooms, even in the most remote parts of the vessel, comfortable and healthy. These pipes all connect with pow- erful blowers, which draw ‘fresh air by means of ventilators extending from ten to twenty feet above the ship’s deck. The forward conning tower armor will be in thickness ten inches, oval,in shape, size in the clear 7 by 11 feet, with an armored tube 7 inches thick extending down to the protective deck, to house all wires or other n.eans of interior comfunication, so that the officer conning the yessel.in action can be in ccnstant and safe communication with all parts of the vessel. An after conning or signal tower is also provided, having an inside diameter of 6 feet and a tajck- ness of 6 inches. The turrets will be operated by electric power, also the ammunition hoists, and the dynamo and auxiliary blowers for ven-| tilating purposes. Auxillary Engines. ‘There will be some eighty-odd auxiliary ergines in the vessel, thus adding greatly to the efficiency of the ship in the celerity and certainty with which the work can be done. The cranes for handling the boats are operated by steam; also the deck winches, pumps, windlass and_ steering gear (this latter is located beneath the he t tective deck and several feet below | ley, and has remained nearly water line). The introduction of these aux- ilisry engines is brought about mainly by the variety and nature of the work to be dene, affd the demand for the latest and best In every branch of mechanics repre- sented in a man-of-war. Manual labor is therefore reduced to a minimum—a conditio. cf affairs which must result in a greater interest and develop- ment of the crew in thcir special duties, as now required in a modern battle ship, where fighting (and all leads up to thor- cugh efficiency in that line of art) is not handicapped by the constant drudgery so universal in the old-time vessels of our navy. The height of the freeboard forward of the vessel's hull proper is 20 feet and at the stern 13% feet. The floor of the pilot house is 44 feet high, thus placing the eye of the steersman, for ordinary cruising. about 50 feet above the water. The sight holes in the armored conning tower for use in close fighting are 341% feet above the water. Gun Elevation. The bore of the forward 13-inch guns will have an elevation of 26% feet, and the after 13-inch, 19 feet, above the surface of the er. The 6-inch guns vary from 15 to 22% feet, and the six-pounders from 30 to 4G feet above water, according to their locaticn on the vessel. The smaller guns are mounted in the military tops, at heights of from 59 to 7 feet. This great height above water of both main and secondary batteries will enable the vi el to be fought in any weather, a quality Ways sought le only in vessels of good ‘onsidered of immense advantage ‘al authorities. She is also provided with bilge keels, ced before and abaft the midship body only, so as not to interfere with docking her. These keels have a maximum depth of three feet, and will largely tend to le: n her motion in a seaway, and so contribute to her steadiness as a gun platform, so es- sential for correct gun fire. Four powerful electric searchlights are also provided, two on top of the forward chart house and two on each side of the after military mast, all having an eleva- tion of twen five feet above the water and commanding a complete all-round range. There will be two sets of triple-expansion, twin-screw engines, each of its own - rate water-tight compartmen: the collec- tive indicate horse power wiil be about 10,9, with 12) revolutions per minute: stroke, four feet. There are eight single. ended cylindrical boilers, each W% feet in diameter by 9 feet 114 inches long, having a total grate surface of G85 square feet, with 21,20) square fect of heating surface. Pressure, 180 pounds. These boilers are placed, two each, in four senarate water- hight compartments. The smokepipes arc vo in number a two and stand abreast of each ‘The first keel plate of this vessel was laid February 10, 189 » not quite twenty months past, and the percentage of work completed to this date, based on the vessel fitted out ady for sea, is now reported between and Bt per cent.
