Krom this one item some idea may be had of the extensiveness of the great crockery establishment of W. A. Mau- ror, who hus just moved into his new building, Nos. 842 and 344 Broadway. There are 19,200 square feet of floor- ing in tho building. Is it any wonder that Council Bluffs takes pride in pointing to this estab- ment as the largest and most complete of any in the west in this line? The building is o substantiul bri structure, with four stories, a double width front- age, largo plate glass display widows, and attractive entrunce, but it is only when one travels through the mazes of the interior that an adequate idea is gaired of its extent, attractiveness and pmlpplomu.-u. The main floor, devoted to the pur- poses of a salesroom, excites the specinl enthusinsm of the hetic visitor, It is lavge, airy and light, and is finishea {:lnlnly but richly in anvique oak. The eauty of finish is almost lost sight of in the natural admiration of the dazzling, bewitching display of beautiful and ied wares—a bewilderment of plens- orings and graceful designs—nov- s and substantiol —making really an oxposition of itself which beguiles” an hour of the visitor’s time before one re- alizes it. I1n the rear isthe office room, arranged with business like completeness ana compuctness, v, too, is finished in an- tique onk. The art room is a little veauty, It finished in ebony and plate mirror with walls of maroon and rich graceful draperics. Hero are displayed rare treasures of art, elegant and variea bric-a-brae und exquisitely cut gluss: Royal Worcestor, Dresden, Doulton, Brownes, ete, Gry as is the enthusiasm aroused in one who enjoys the beautiful, it is fully equalled by that of the one who enjoy the practical. The merchant nnd busi- ness man is no less enthusiastic over the extent of the stock and its arrangement, The second floor, for instance, hest illus- trates this. #Bin after bin, aisle after aisie, shell upon shelf, ouch prop- erly placarded, impress one not only “with the great quuntity and variety of stock, but with the busi- ness-like methods for handling it, So complete is the arrangement that the stock men can see at u glance the con- dition and quantity of each kind of goods, und shipping clerks and packers ean almost fill orders in the durk, every- thing baving a place nnd everything in its plueo. The arvangements for filling orders promutly and accurately are ine deed worthy of study and imitation, The other floors are likewise crowded with goods, but there is no confusion apparent anywhere, and visitors familiar with the details of other great crockery establishments enthusinstically pro- nouce it the best uiranged of any they buve seen.

At 10 o'clock Thursday night the trip was made, any the train was grected with wila demonstrations of joy by the resi- dents of the street. They had tried Lo get fireworks during the day, anu expected to tave a smail-scale Fourth of July in honor of the completion of the work, but as the storo keepers had not yet received the stock thuy had to be content with getting dbwn the old guns and pistols that had been unused for a loug time for anything except- ing shooting burglars. The firing of eur- powder and the yeling of those who had uothing to fire off in the shape of arms made things lively in the vicinity until avout mid- night, Yestorday’s developments, however, show thut possibly the residents of Kirst street whistied vefore they got ovt of the woods. An information was filed in the superior courtearly in the afternoon charging Joun T, Stewart ana A, K. Swoe, the president and general wunager of the road, with con- tempt of court. The information alleges that Stewart, Stone and the defendunts of the Council Blofs and Omaha Bridge com- pany violatod the ivjunction issued from tho superior court resirainiug the operation of s electric line 10 front of the Bixby prop- erty on South First street, ard nre now violating 1t hourly.

The defendants were served with notices of the filing of the intormation, and they will be brought beforo Judge McGieo this morning at 10 o'clock for a hearing upon the charge which is preferred against them, ‘Thie people who spent all day yesterday in riding back and forth on the First street line are now congratulating themselves that they made hay while the sun shone, for last even- 1ng the order to the city marshal which was prayed for was served upon the management of the motor company, und the running of trains was stopped just about the time a good many people were goilng to their sup pars.

Democratio delegates of the state to the Chicago convention are beginning to arrive in the city to meet this evening (3 overnor Boyd and the Samoset club, which will leave in a body at 8 o'clock over the Burlington rond for the convention city. The Samoset club held a well attended meeting last night at its quarters in Boyd's theater building. Final arrangements were completed for the trip. Committees were detailed to meet at the Union denot the Cali- forma delegation, which arrives in Omaha on & special train at 11 o'clock this morning. The same committee will also meet the Colorado delegation, which will get nere at 4 o'clock io the after- noon, All the state delegates will have ar- rived by that time and will go in a body with the Samosot club to the depot just oefore train time. Otaer prominent democrats, not delegates, will nlso accompany the party. Charles Redick of Oklahoma City arrived in Omaha yesterday and will join the party. Mr. Juan Boyle, a democrat of consider- able distinction at Kearaey, 18 hero and will #o to Chicago tonight. Mr. Bovle has just returned from a trip through Coiorado, ~ Ho believes that neither Cleveland nor Hill will be tnhe nominee of the convention, He thinks the choice will bo Gorman f Muryland and Boies for second place. “Gorman is a great favorite in Colorado, and in fact west of Nebraska as well as in the east,”” saia Mr. Boyle. *I think Gorman is the only available mon who can carry New York." Colonel Frank P. Ircland of Nebraska City, who has recently boen in New York City, is also iu Omaha, He, too, is & strong Gorman man. “I think tbat Gorman will be theman.” said Mr. Ireland, “The leading democrats kuow they have to make a strong choice to carry New York and they must havo that stato for any chance of victory this fall, and it looks now very mnch like Gorman is the only man who can carry that state, Both Cleveland and Hill bave a largo following, but the factional fight will hurt both and neither will be available. Cleveland could not carry the state four years ago und I can't sec what he has done sinco that time to make the party tkink he cau doit now. Gorman and Boies will be the ticket, I most earnestly believe, and I think they will be sclected after Cleve- land ana Hill reccive their complimentary votes,” Jacksonlan Club Preparing.

It was recovered afterwards and mounted in the castle of San Juan in Fayal. Secre- tary Blaine was informed recently that the king of Portugal was willing to give up the gun to the United States govern- ment. The secrefary consequently in- structed General George S. Batchellor, the American representative in Lisbon, formally to request permission to re- move it. Ho has also ordered that, when a favorable reply is received, an Amevican mun-of-war shall be sent o bring it home. It is to be setup in Lafayette square, Washington, opposite the white house. The old gun is intimitely connected with one of the most thrilling encounters of thut naval r with Great Britain in which American ships and American spamen proved themselves the best and bravest on theseas, The warships built and manned on this side of the Atlantic proved more than equal, ship for ship, to those sent out by England, and were nearly as numerous. In addition, a mighty fleet of privateers carried the Amorican flag into every navigable water on the globe. The purpose of the privateers was the destruction of Brit- sh commerce, but, being fleet, strong, powerfully armed, and manned with courageous American tars anxious to cross cutlasses with the enemy wherever found, they did not hesitate, when cor- nered, to give battle to ships of the line. ~ In such encounters the odds, which were always with the enemy, wero often fearfully uncqual. Never- theless the American_privateers won as often as they lost, and sgmetimes took a part in the making of history. American Privateers of O1d. The privateer fleet which swarmed like bees upon British commerce, put out from every American seaport. Baltimore furnished a larger number than any other port, but New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Salem sent put their dozens each. Some of the ‘most famous sailed from Charleston, Bristol and Plymouth. They varied in size from mere pilot boats, with twenty to forty men ench, to harass the small trade of the British West I[ndies, to tne largest and most powerful frigates, fit to cope with the best shipsof the Liritish navy. By far the lhrgest number were schooners, swift, medium-sized, powor- fully armed. Several brigs and brigan- tines sailed also. They went outover- loaded with men, 80 a8 to have crews to bring home the numerous prizes which they expected, as a matter of course, to take. Sometimes' ‘o privateer would capture half a @obzen or more British ships while on a cruise, and would re- turn so dépleted of seamen that she had scarcely men enough to handle sail, to say nothing of fighting if overhauled. To understand the merits of the battle to be described it is necossary to know something of the armament of those The ships were wooden sailing 1s, without armor. The guns were ordinary cannon, loading at the muzzle and firing round shot. Th2y were of three forms—the carronade or broadside gun, the Columbiad, and the long gun. Carronades were short guns that car- sied much larger and heavier balls than either of the others. They were com- paratively light in metal. = Placed 1n carriages on the main or lower deck, or both, they were the usual broadside gaas. Columbiads weresomewhat long- er and heavier gnns that earrvied o com- paratively lighter ball with a heavier charge. The long guns were of the smallest caliber of all, but much longer and considerably heavier. In those duys when the fighting power of a ship was measured by the weight of her broadside discharge, few long guns were mounted. ‘They were on the upper deck, where they were used whendistance and mark- maoship, rather than weight of pro- jectile, was an object. The largest of the long guns was mounted usually on a pivot forward, for a bow-chaser. It was called the “*Long Tom.” It was always the best gun on the ship. The entire armament of the privateer General Armstrong consisted of long guns. The dispatches from Washing- ton say that the “‘Long Tom” found in ayal harbor is n 42-pounder. That is correct, probably, because Theodore Roosevelt’s “History of the V o 1812, and other histories which have been consulted, say the General Arm- strong's largest gun was a 24-pounder “She had nine guns in all. The other eight were 9-pounders, or *‘long nines” in the language of the day. At the time of the battle the privateer had only rinety men abonrd, having started the uwners homeward on prizes. Her port was New York. Sho was com- manded by Captain Samuel C. Reid of Connecticut. The Attack on the Armstrong, Fayal is one of the most northern o the Azores group, which lies due west of Portugal, about one-third of the distance to tha American shore. Its fine harbor made-it then as now, a con- venient stopping, place for sailing ves- sols bound on long veyages to the north ov south. The General Armstrong had put in there in the /middle of Septem- ber, 1814, to provisidn, and for the rame purpose i Britiéh squadron, bound for Summcn to join' AQmiral Sir Thomas Cochran's naval éxpedition against New Ovleans, stopped there on Septemboer 25, The British squadron consisted of three vessels, Dhe flagship was the big Plantagenet of seventy-four guns, com- manded by Captain Robert Floyd. Her companions were the frigate Rota, thirty-oight guns, commanded by Cap- tain Phillip Somerville,and the brig Car- nation, eighteen guns, under Captain George Bentham, The vessels were thoroughly equipped for immediate action, They were manned by 2,000 men, On_enterlng Fayal harbor Captain Floyd spiod the Yankeo privatcer, and distributed his ships around her 8o that escapo was impossible. Because he was in the wators of a neutral power, Cap- tain IReid did not think lheeuem{ would attack him, but he took no chances, sproad his nets, and prepared for action. The noxt day uumrul boats put out from the British flagship and headed for the privateer. Captain Floyd reported at home that he did not mean to awtack the American; that he was on a reconnoicer- ing expedition only. Captain Reid did Washington Blaine bo- measures to an- 1392--SIXTEEN PAGE not ta'e that view of it. He believed | the enemy intended to board, that { being a favorite method of attack in the | naval warfare of the period. He gave the boats several warnings, but they came straight ahead. When they had | approached dangerously near he fired and wounded several men, driving the boats back. Captain Reid expected a goneral ate | tack then and put his ship nearer the shore with springs on her cables. At S8 o'clock he was not surprised to see a number of boats lowered from the Brit- ish men-of-war and filled with men and weapons, The accounts in regard to the number of the bouts are conflicting. Captain Floyd reported at home that four hoats were lowerod from the Plan: tagenet and three from the Rota, and that 180 men were in them. An Euoglish oyewitness of the fightis responsiblo for the statement that there were four- teen boats, containing about forty men ench, ch boat carried® car- ronade in hor bows, and the redition was under the command of Licutenant William Matterface of the Rot: They rouched to some rocks near tho ateer, behind whicn they shelterod themsclves for several hours. .In the ntime the Carnation, being light of draft, like the General Armstrong,made sail and upproached within shot of the privateer, to be handy in case she should slip her cablos and put to scn. G Fight Against O Atmidnight the Americans heard tho aplash of oars and knew the attack wus at hand. The boats were in plain sight soon, for the moon shining bright- ly. At aconsiderable distance the one- my began firing their earronadns, That was returned by the long nines, but no dumuge was doneon either side. Butat close quarters the fight was fiorce and bloody. Three of the boats were sunk beforo they reached the nets and their occupants loft struggling in the water. The Americuns leaned over the rails and poured a deadly fire from muskets and pistols into the boats. The fire was réturned hotly. When the enemy reuched the nets they made n vigorous and valiant attempt to board. They hacked the nets and laid hold of them, pulling themselves within reach of the vessel's side and attempting to clamber up her sides. They attacked on the bows and starbourd “quarter. Captain RReid defended the starboard quarter, he uttack at the bows was met by first Oficer Frederick A, Worth. Cuptain Reid drove off the boarders on his guar- ter and then hurried forward. He and his men were needed, for the attack was on the point of success. The boarders swarmed up shonting, “No quarte “'No quarter!” returned the American tars, shooting them down with pistols held in faces and prodding thom with long pikes. The sides of the vessel and the ealm sen were stained with blood. Victory was with the Ame ns. The enemy’s boats pulled away with « little handful of men. Three boats had gone to the bottom. Others, filled with dead, drifted to the shore. Only two returned to the ships. After the fight the Americans counted the cost. The *“Long Tom” on the bows had been knocked off its car- riage by a shot from a carronade, but it was replaced easily. Two Americans were killed and ssven wounded. Second Ofticer Alexander O. Williams was among the killed. Mr. Worth and Third Ofticer Rohert Johnson were among the wounded. he British los; was very severe, ording to Ameri- can estimates 50 were killed or wounded. The oflicial report of Captain Iloyd was that thirty-four were killed and eighty-six wounded. Among the dead was Lieutenant Matterface, who led the expedition. At daybreak the next morning the Payal authoritics sent a message to Cap- tain Floyd requesting him to stop further hostilities in the harbor. Cap- tain Floyd replied that he meant to have that privateer if he knocked down the entiro town. He accompanied the reply with the warning that if the authorities of Fayal permitted tho Americans to destroy or injure the privateer he would consider Fayal a hos tile port and treat it accordingly. Cap- tain Reid heard of that threat, and he ordered that the dead and wounded be taken ashore. He also advised the suilors to send ashore the most valuable of their effects. Then he put the ship in good order and awaited the attack. It came before the close of the day. The brig Carnation made sail, and ap- proaching within hort firing dis- tance, poured broadside after hroadside into the privateer. The General Arm- .strong’s broadsides were not effective for the reason that she had smaller guns and only half as many of them. ‘‘Long Tom™ was put into service, and the effect was immediate. One shot took effect in the Carnation’shull and started a dungerous leak. Anothersnapped the fore topmast. Others injured the ri ging badiy. In a very short time the Carnation was obliged to turn and escape. Burned His Ship to Avola Capture, The other vessels approached after- wards and it was ¢ ident that a general attack was close at hand. Such an at- tack could have only one end, The British had three vessels against one smaller than their smallest, 130 guns against nine smaller, 2,000 men against ninety. Captain Reid determined that they should not capture the Generat Armstrong. Lowering the boats he scuttled the ship and pulled’ for the shore. The British hastened to the privateer, which was beyond hope by the time they reached her, and set her afice and she burned to the water’s edge. The British were enraged by jheir failure to capture the privateer as u prize and threatened 1o pursue the Americans. Captain Reid = seized a stone fortress ashore, threw himself within it, and dared them to follow. They did not come. The Carnation was damaged so much and all of the enemy’s ships had been depleted of o many men that the entire squadron had to put baci to England to refit, delaying Sir Thomas Cochran’s expedition. He reuched New Orleans four days after Jackson reached there, otherwise the British would have occupied it. —_——— IOWA WEATHER CROP BULLETIN, Condition Regarded perally s Quite Good with n Reduced Acreage, Des Morxes, Ia., June 17.—The regular June crop reportof lowa weather and crop servico, tabulated from reports of 1,200 correspondents, shows & reduced acreage of all ciops excopt grass and millet, The wintor wheat acreage is roduced 3 per cent and coudition S8 per cent, compared with last year.
