Proving Turret Endurance on Florida in Test
The Florida monitor endured a heavy naval gun test at Hampton Roads with its turret and mast holding up despite severe external damage. Inside, gunners and fire-control instruments remained largely functional, prompting praise for the turret design and predictions that similar battlements will be used on future ships. Nearby Arkansas fired at close range, while officials observed the scene with cautious optimism. A separate marriage license lists Watry Bender and Alice Maneta Handles as a couple residing in Coshocton.

State board limits Ohio Canal repairs funding
The state board of public works on May 28 decided to advertise bids for 261 000 dollars worth of canal repairs. Only 54 0 thousand of this is to be spent on the northern Ohio canal, with the remainder allotted to the Miami canal. Ongoing work continues on the northern Ohio and the main work will be postponed pending estimates by Chicago Perkins. When completed, a water transportation vote from Lake Erie to the Ohio River could occur, but water power remains the primary aim. The government engineers say there is not enough water to sustain a deep water canal from Toledo to Cincinnati, so commercial prospects hinge on other uses and limited boat traffic.
