The Beautiful Weather Had the Effect of Bringing Out an Enormous Crowd. The Ceremonies at the Launch- ing of the Huge Liner. PHILADELPHIA, April 11.—Tho Ameri- can line steamship St. Paul, sister ship of the St. Louis, was successfully'launched at 1 :05 o’clock this afternoon. The ship was named by Miss Frances C. Griscom. Since the unsuccessful attempt to launch the vessel on March 25, because of the inferior quality of the tallow on the ways, the Cramps test .d the tallow which was used today and to d it to be satisfactory. The weather was clear, and at 11 o'clock this morning, when the gates of the ship- yard were thrown open to the public, an immense it rong was in waiting. The THE ST. PAUL. crowd quickly occupied every point of vantage, and then began a patient wait. Because of a freshet in the Delaware river, which had greatly swollen the stream, the time for the launch was fixed for 1 o’clock. or thereabouts, instead of 2:30 p. m., as decided upon a week ago. Governor Hastings, the member of the Pennsylvania legislature, the officers of the International Navigation company, which controls the American line, and guests from St. Paul, this city and else- where boarded two steamboats at 11 o‘clock and were taken to the scene of the launch. The First Attempt at Launehng. An attempt was made to launch the St. Paul on March 25, but it failed on account of the extreme weight of the vessel and some defect in ways. The time set for the launching was 1:15 p. m. on March 25, and the shipyard was crowded with thousands of sightscers. At the signal the props were knocked away, the last leg was sawed, and all eyes Were anxiously directed to the mighty hull, but it did not move. It was found that the tallow with which the ways had been greased was not in proper condition, and every effort to move the vessel failed. Although several tugs Were employed and a heavy hawser thrown out, their united power was not sufficient to start the steamship on the ways. . Further investigatim showed that the hull of the St. Paul was overweighted. She was ready to be launched six weeks previous, but the ice in the river precluded any attempt at that time to get her ofl‘ the stocks. The work on the vessel continued, how- ever, and between that time and March 25 fully 1,000 tons had been added to the weight of iron and steel fittings. She had also been fitted with her propeller blades and shaft, which is not usually done pre- vious to launching. A little less than two years ago, when the Paris and New York were transferred from the English to the American flag by a special act of congress, a stipulation was entered into by the International Naviga- tion company that two ships of as great if not greater tonnage should be built in this country for the American line. The company accordingly made a con- tract with the Cramps for the construction of two ships—the St. Louis, which has already been successfully launched. and the St. Paul. They are in every respect counterparts of each other. Description of the Ship. A more statement that the St. Paul is 554 feet long, 03 feet in extreme width and molded depth 42 feet does not convey any idea of her stupendous size. As she lay in her cradle she towered high above the Brooklyn armored cruiser and made the battleship Indiana look like a nautical pygmy. She has five decks, 17 water tight compartments, formed by tranverso bulk- heads and flats, and her displacement at 26 feet draft will be nearly 16,000 tons. She is identical in size with the St. Louis, launched last November, the pair being the largest vessels ever built in this coun- try and having no superiors in size except the Campania and Lucania. The ,hull of the St. Paul is Of three- quarter inch mild steel, provided with a double bottom. having a space of 54inches between the platings. An innovation that much is expected of is the practicability of filling the double hull with water bal- last, which can be pumped out when nec- essary for her to lighten her draft in cross- ing bars. The bulkheads were built with a spe- cific purposes of eliminating the human factor from the list of accident causing possibilities. They are such as to make the vessel practi'olly unsinkablc and are built without doors or openings between them. More than one vessel has sunk which could have floated had not some one care- lessly left open the doors between the wa- ter tight compartments. In the St. Paul no such accident can happen, the only means of communication between the compartments being over the top of the This same‘feature insures the vessel against fire, it being an easy matter to control a blaze in one of the cpmpart- ments. Notwithstanding the fact that the St. Paul is practically unsinkable, ample pro- vision in the way of lifeboats will be made. The vessel will have accommoda tions for 320 first class passengers, 200 sec- ond class and about 800 steerage. Sallie Dean's Murderer Presented.

N 0 Need to Feel so Weak, Tired and Nervous. Eminent Physicians Give Assurance of This Fact. And Tell How to Overcome the Terrible Weakness. Now is the Best Time to Get Strong and Well. That there is no need whatever for a person to be weak, tired and nervous— the three great cutses of our people— seems now a certain fact. Eminent physicians affirm the truth of this welcome news, and ample proofs demonstrate the reliability of the in- formation we are able so gladly to give. It is certainly a godsend to those of our people who have weak nerves and tired bodies, who feel exhausted in strength and vitality, who cannot eat or sleep well, and who are run down and debilitated, to know positively that Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is a sure invigorator and strength giver, and will invariably make a person strong and well. Particularly is It a blessing at this time of year, for in the spring almost everybody feels languid, nervous and out of order and needs this best of all spring medicines. Doctors are enthusiastic In their ap- proval and endorsement of this remedy. They heartily recommend and advise its use, and many of our best known physicians are loud in their praise of Its wonderful curative powers. Dr. B. D. Bickford, of Wolcctt, Vt, one of Vermont’s eminent physicians, states : “ I have used Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy'for some time, first trying it on myself, and I found it did me so much good that I now recom- mend it to my patients. The fact that I have used it in my own case shows that I know what I am talking about. As a tonic and 1'nvigorant it is the best of all to build up a person.” Dr. Robert W. Lance, of So. Wood- bury, Vt., than whom there is no more eminent- physiciau in the state of Ver- mont, says : "I have known about Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy and the good results in cases, as a tonic, after hard sickness and the cure of ner- vous females. They have received great good from its use. I do not hesitate to recommend it.” Dr, Willard H. Morse, F. B. S. Sc. of Westfield, N. J., the great expert on medicines, says 01 this grand discovery of Dr. Greene : “ The true remedy for nervous dis- eases is Dr. Greene’s Nervera blood and nerve remedy. It acts by affecting the organs of nutrition, and entering into the formation of new nerve tisseu, which generates nerve force. This means the making of new nerves. Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the American nerve tonic. ” The well-known Dr. Emil Neumer, superintending physwian of the N. Y. Lodge and Association Hospital states : “We are using Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy at this Hospi- tal for our patients, with good success.” This enthusiastic endorsement by physicians, stamps this remarkable medical discovery as the greatest tonic and restorative. Druggists tell you everywhere that it cures more cases than any other known remedy. In fact It makes all who take it strong and Well. One'resson which gives the people so much confidence in it is the fact that It is the discovery and prescription of Dr. Greene, of 35 West 14th St, New_York CIty. the well known and probably most successful Specialist in curing ner- vOus and chronic diseases. and to the further fact that he can be consulted free of charge by anyone, personally or by letter. . ____.._.__#..<...

Howe Was Arrested Charged With Intox- ication When He Was Really In a Dying Condition—The Police Are Sadly Puzzled-of Course. . NEW YORK, April 11.—The autopsy per- formed today upon the body of Andrew Howe, who died in the alcoholic ward of Bellevue hospital yesterday, indicates that he was murdered. ' The theory is that he was sandbagged for the purpose of robbery. The autopsy was performed by Deputy Coroner Weston. It was found that there was a fracture at the base of Mr. Howe’s skull, and that the brain was lacerated, either of which was sufficient to cause death. There was a slight abrasion on the chin, and finger marks were found on the left wrist and also on the biceps of the right arm. There were also marks on the shins that looked as if he had been kicked. Deputy Coroner Weston said Mr. Howe's fatal wounds might have been caused by a sandbag, and the mark on his chin may be the result of his falling face forward from the blow. Policeman Conroy of the East Twenty- second Street station said today that when he found Howe his watch chain was hang- ing to his vest, but his watch was gone. This lends additional color to the theory that the attack upon Mr. Howe was for purposes of robbery. . The police are at work on the ease, but have not secured a clew to the identity of Mr. Howe’s assailant. Who Howe \Vas. Howe was an old time New Yorker and was Well known in dry goods circles, in which he was formerly engaged. Of late he had been a commission agent in the linen line. He has a mother and sister living in Chicago. and two of his cousins are B. A. Howe, at present a guest at the New Amsterdam hotel, and Alexander Howe, a well known man about town. For the past 18 months Howe had lived at 116 East Twenty-second street, which is leased by Mrs. Wistar. Last Friday he visited the New Amsterdam hotel. Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street. He was in the best of spirits and had been drink- ing some, but was not intoxicated. Ho chatted with Augustus W. Foster, one of the proprietors, and several other friends. At 11 o’clock he started for home. F. T. Randall, head waiter in the Hotel Florence, 1* ourth avenue and East Eight- eenth street. who boards in the same house with Howe, was aroused by what seemed to be the noise of a scuffle on the sidewalk in front of the house. In the shadow of an electric light he saw Howe lying on the sidewalk and another man standing over him, as if trying to arouse him. Not know- ing, however, who Howe was at the time, he paid no further attention. Half an hour later Policeman Conroy of the East Twenty-second Street station found Howe. He took him to the station house. Howe was in a comatose condi- tion. He was taken to Bellevue hospital, a prisoner on the charge of intoxication. He died yesterday afternoon without hav- ing regained consciousness. Anna Dickinson’s Jury Disagrees. SCRANTON, Pa., April 11.—The jury in the case of Anna E.
