Getting Out of a Difficulty.

Captain Mcß , a canny Scot, was once in command of a troopship returning from India. On board he had as passengers three ladies, all wives of officers in her Majesty’s service. Now it fell out that the cabin allotted to them was fitted up to accommodate four, and consequently it contained four washbasins, one of which was far larger than the other three. lor the right to use this especial basin each lady put forth her claim, citing her husband’s position in the army. But the husbands, unfortunately, all proved to be of equal rank, so to clinch the matter the trio bearded the Captain in his cabin. “We will leave it entirely to you, Captain,” they said, “and abide by your decision. ” The Mcß cogitated duly and then declared solemnly, with the faintest twinkle in his gray eyes: “Leddies, as it is no’ a matter o’ rank, I think it wull be that the oldest amang ye suld have the beegest bowl.” With murmured taanks they filed out again, but that basin was never used during the voyage.

WORST GALE IN YEARS

A TERRIBLE TEMPEST SWEEPS OVER THE LAKES. Heavy Lois of Life Is Known to Have Occurred Enormous Damage Done Stanchest Boats Are Driven to Shelter— Worst Not Yet Known. Disasters Unprecedented. The entire chain of lakes was swept Saturday and Saturday night by a northwest gale whose severity has not been excelled during the season of navigation for the past ten years. The same wind which drove vessels on the beach on every lee shore also leveled telegraph wires, and reports of wrecks are somewhat slow in reaching the outside world, particularly from out-of-the-way localities. The list of wrecks, in proportion to the number of vessels which were out in the gale, is larger perhaps than in the history of the latter-day marine. That there has been a large loss of life now seems. certain, but it may be several days before it is known just how many sailors perished. Eighteen persons, the entire crew of the propeller Dean Richmond, are given up lor lost in the storm on Lake Erie. The corpses of three men have been washed ashore off Van Buren Point, near Dunkirk. The shore of the lake is strewn with wreckage and merchandise, and, according to Buffalo dispatches, the waves are hourly yielding up further evidences of the fate to which the Richmond has gone. On one of the bodies papers were found which showed it to be that of Logan, the engineer. The others were deck-hands. The signboard of the Richmond washed ashore about the same time and other pieces of wreckage were cast upon the beach, leaving no doubt of the fate of the boat. The Richmond was the property of the Bottsfords, of Port Huron. She was built in 1864. She had. on board a cargo of merchandise consigned to Buffalo. The storm was the severest known to the seamen of Buffalo in twenty-five years. The rain fell so heavily that pilots. could not see 100 feet ahead of their vessel. All incoming vessels have stories to tell of the violence of the storm.

Big Schooner Goes Down. The four-masted schooner Minnehaha went ashore in the gale at Arcadia, twenty miles north of Manistee. All on board —six persons—except the captain, William Packer, were lost. Capt. Packer swam ashore with the help of a plank, a distance exceeding a mile. The sailors also attempted the perilous journey, but became exhausted and were drowned. The Frankfort lifesaving crew made three unsuccessful attempts to rdach the Minnehaha, but the boat filled with water each time. The fourth effort was successful, but there was no one aboard, all having then been washed overboard. The wreck was first sighted by a man on the bluff at Starke, who jumped on his horse and rode at a furious pace through the storm to Onekama, in order to notify the life-saving crew at Manistee. A telegram brought the life-savers on a special train from that place, and in the afternoon the lifeboat, mortar and other life-saving apparatus was loaded on wagons and started through the woods to the scene of the wreck. The rain was blinding, and numberless trees had fallen across the narrow roadway through the forest. The progress of the life-savers was exceedingly slow, and it was nearly midnight when they reached the high sand bluff overlooking the lake at Starke. The lifesaving crew from Frankfort gained the bluff at dark, but even then it was too late.

Dispatches from all points along the west shore of Lake Huron and the eastern end of Lake Superior indicated that the storm increased greatly in violence as night came on, and at midnight the storm was at its height. At numerous places the wind registered from fifty-two to sixty miles an hour at the United States signal station. By that time the lake fleets had generally succeeded in getting into shelter. Wind and Tide in the South. The town of Georgetown, on the coast of South Carolina, caught the full fury of the storm, which left death and destruction in its track. Owing to the wreck of telegraph lines but meager reports of the great damage have been received. At least nineteen persons are now known to have been drowned at Magnolia Beach, where eyery house was swept from its foundation, penning in the inmates until death relieved their tortures. At Pauley’s Island, a summer resort twelve miles from Georgetown, the tide rose three feet, sweeping away most of the residences, the inmates saving nothing but the clothes they had on. No lives are reported lost on this island nor on Debordean, but several houses were washed from their foundations and drifted to sea.

Sioux Indians are again indulging in ghost dances near the Rosebud reservation and settlers are preparing for trouble. Charles G. Long, a prominent jeweler of Columbus, Ohio, has been indicted on sixteen counts for operating a “fence.” The Union Glass Works were closed in Somerville, Me., because the employes will not accept a reduction of 15 per cent.

THIRTEEN MORE ARE LOST.

The Steamer Wocoken Sinks Above Long Folnt in Lake Erie. It is now known that the steamer Wocoken foundered in ten fathoms of water outside the cut just above Long Point, Lake Erie, in the recent storm, and thirteen of her crew are added to the list of those who went down in the gale. The Wocoken was bound from Ashtabula to Milwaukee with a cargo of coal. She left Friday and went to Erie, where she picked up her consort, the barge Joseph Paige, and started up the lake. She was struck by the storm in the middle of the lake and started to run to Long Point. The sea was too much for her. and she dropped her consort and headed for the west end of Long Point for shelter. She was unable to make this place and foundered. The Paige ran before the gale, and is now in shelter under the Point, with all her canvas gone. The hatches of the Wocoken were pounded loose by the seas sweeping over her decks; and she filled. One of the survivors, in telling of the loss of the Wocoken. said: “We were off Rondeau when the full force of the storm struck us. We drifted eastward until a few miles from Long Point, when the Paige was cut. loose and we made aa effort to reach shore. When four miles east of her and two miles from shore the steamer sank in ten fathoms of water. This was 10 o'clock Saturday night. When we saw that the boat could not live through the gale preparations were made to launch the small boats. When working at this a tremendous sea broke over us, carrying fourteen of the crew over-, board. The three of us remaining; took to the rigging, where we remained until Sunday morning, when the local life-savng crew succeeded in taking us off after four hours' hard work.” Lost with AU Hands. The spars of a three-masted vessel are reported sticking out of the water eighj miles out from Port Colborne, Ont. The masts are painted black and the boat has a square sail. It is sup* posed to be the F; C. Leighton of Port Huron, Capt. B. Calhoun.

BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.

Workmen Are Torn to Pieces While En* gaged in Digging a Well at Emington. The entire business portion of Emington, HL, was wrecked by a pre mature explosion of dynamite, and five people were killed and five more seriously injured, two of whom cannot live. The killed are: Chris Eyer, of the firm of Eyer Bros., Dwight, 111., leaves a wife and one child; James Cornwell, a single man, Dwight, 111., in the employ of Eyer Bros.; C. E. Fowler, Emington, leaves a wife and two children; Frita Eyer, Olney, HL, cousin of the Eyei brothers; Dash Eyer, Olney, also a cousin. There are others that received bruises by the awful shock. The twfl Wyllies that are among the injured are well diggers and were engaged in digging a city well. They had reached a depth of 305 feet without striking the requisite amount of water theil contract called for. So they engaged Eyer Bros., experienced well diggers, to further their work. The firm used a 2-foot long and H-inch diameter gas pipe, filled the same with dynamite, and were capping it, when all of a suds den it exploded, throwing the men and landing them over fifty feet away from the spot where they were located. The Eyers and Cornwell were mangled in such a manner that identification was impossible, their clothing being all torn to pieces. Hats, shoes, and piecesof cloth were scattered all around the streets bordering the block. Pieces of flesh had to be gathered in baskets. The town presents a sad sight, especially the business portion. All the window lights were shattered by the shock and in those stores and residences near-! est the place the articles in the interior were injured considerably. The shock was so great that it was plainly heard over five miles from Emington, and it was not long before the town began to fill up with people to find out what was; wrong. The citizens all lent a helping hand and the dj lag and dead were' cared for as best they could be.

OTHER NATIONS DISLIKE THEM.

An English Writer Severely Criticises His Own Countrymen. A writer in the London Truth speaking of the fact that the English, as a rule, are disliked by people of other nations, says some frankly disagreeable things about his fellow countrymen. We English, he writes, are by no means a lovable race. We have many admirable qualities. We are a hardy, practical, persevering people; but these are not in themselves sympathetic properties We are aggressive, self-assertative, purse-proud, and hypocritical. We are apt to sing psalms and pick pockets at one and the same time, and our neighbors, not altogether unjustly, therefore, resent the overrighteous tone that we adopt in criticising them and their concerns. Wherever the Englishman goes he has the fatal influence of spoiling even the most simple of characters. A fewBritish tourists will make the inhabitants of the most inexperienced province shrewd, suspicious, grasping and dishonest. This is within the common knowledge of any who have traveled in little-visited lands, and a consideration of this phenomenon will enable us the better, perhaps, to understand why our neighbors, and more especially the French, so heartily detest us. It is also a curious fact that whenever there are any general elections to be held in the great republics the most popular policy is to twist the tail of the British lion. It would be instructive, as a subject for the dull season, to discuss the question, “Are we English really much superior to all other nations ? ” I think we are; but apparently our neighbors thinks otherwise ; and it might be well, therefore, to discover whether we are mistaken or whether they ate stupidly prejudiced.

This and That.

A wrong confessed Is half forgiven. You can’t make a dart of a pig’s tail. A scalded cat is afraid of cold water. The love of a boy is water in a basket. Is there not some danger of having too many so-called holy relics brought to New York from the old world. ? The cordage combination will be called the Waterbury company. Better watch it. It will not be an easy matter to wind that concern up. The fact of the direct heir to the British throne marrying an Englishwoman is so rare an event that it seems worth noting. There are only two instances since the conquest. The bees in California “prepare for winter” just as bees do where winter comes. It is the nature of the bee, and he has not yet studied “the glorious climate of California” and taken advantage of it to take life easy.

TUCKER BILL PASSED.

BIG MAJORITY FOR THE MEASURE IN THE HOUSE. By a Strict Party Vote the House Repeals the Laws Placing; Elections Under Federal Control How the Fort Wayne “Limited” Was Wrecked. Democrats Cheer the Result. Washington special: The Tucker bill to repeal all existing Federal election laws was passed by the House by a vote of lOj to 101, party lines being strictly drawn. Senator Hill (N. Y.), who is the author of a similar bill in the Senate, was on the floor while the vote was being taken. Quite a demonstration was made by the Democrats when the result was announced. The Republicans, finding that the Democrats had their own quorum present, were stopped from filibustering by the ironclad order under which the House was operating beyond demanding a yea and nay vote on the Burrows and Lacey amendments. The Democrats admitted that the bill was defective in that it failed to repeal statute 3528, which inferentially permits troops at the polls, but the modification could not bo made under the order, and the correction will have to be made in the Senate. Some of the Republicans claimed that in defeating the Lacey amendment the Democrats repealed all laws to prevent bribery and ballot-box stuffing at elections for delegates in the Territories, but the Democrats claimed that the Legislatures of the Territories had all enacted laws for the punishment of offenders against the purity of the ballot in the Territories, and Mr. Tucker called attention to the fact that Section 1848 of the Revised Statutes provided that after the first election each Territory should make laws to govern its elections. Delegate Smith also called attention to the fact that some of the Territories like Arizona operated “like most of the progresshe States,” under the Australian ballot law. Attra t3.l a Full House. The fact that the vote on the Tucker bill was to bo taken attracted a full house. The benches on both sides were filled and the galleries were crowded. Some routine business occupied the morning hour. The Speaker took tho chair. The special order bringing the Tucker bill to a vote and the pending amendments by Mr. Fitch, Mr. Lacey and Mr. Burrows were road. Mr. Burrows explained that he would not demand a division on his amendment if the House would permit tho five statutes hla amendment sought to save to be read at tho clerk’s desk, that they might get into the record. They are the sections providing for free registry and vote of citizens irrespective of color or previous condition, and providing for tho punishment of those who prevent, hinder and delay registration and voting, and giving United States Judges jurisdiction in such cases. On a rising vote the amendment was defeated, 81 to 183—a strict party division. The yeas and nays were demanded and tho roll was called. The roll-call resulted —yeas, 100; nays, 198. The vote demonstrated the fact that the Democrat i had a margin of nine in excess of a quorum. The vote then recurred on Mr. Lacey’s amenlment providing for the punishment of crimes against the bab lot in Congressional and delegate elections, and Mr. Lacoy demanded a yea and nay vote, claiming that the defeat of his amendment would give bribery and ballot-box stuffing free rein in delegate elections in the territories. The Lacey amendment was lost—96 to 196. Mr. Fitch withdrew his amendment, and the vote was taken on the final passage of the bill. The bill was passed—yeas, 200; nays, 100—a strict party vote. When the Speaker announced tho vote tho Democrats broke into a cheer, and then, at 2:45, the House adjourned.

CAUSED BY A MISPLACED BOLT.

Bow the .Fort Wayne “Limited" Was Wrecked at Whiting. A misplaced bolt derailed the first section of tho east-bound Fort Wayne “limited” at Whiting, Ind. It was a Pullman vestibuled train. and was crowded with Philadelphia Fair-goers and speeding along the stretch of track from South Chicago to Valparaiso at its highest speed. The passengers escaped destruction only by the courage of Engineer Jack Christy, who sot his brakes in the teeth of death and went down with his train as their sacrifice. The train of eight Pullman coaches, with dining-car and mail-car, was making its best time, in charge of James Breen, conductor, and Engineer John Christy. At Whiting the Fort Wayne Road crosses the Calumet terminal belt line. The crossing is guarded by tho interlocking system of switch signals controlled by an operator in a tc’.jvr. A bolt at the switch was taken from iiw place, the mechanism failed to act, and while the showed white and clear, the derail switch still lay open, though all unknown. As the ponderous engine No. 202 reached the obstruction it turned like a flash and with a roar buried itself deen in the sand of the ditch on its side, with engineer and fireman buried beneath it. The tender followed, the mail car reared high in the air, and followed the engine and tender. The passenger coaches kept tho track, and the strong steel frames of the Pullmans refusing to telescope, the passengers escaped uninjured. Rescuers hurried to the scene and found Fireman Werner dying from his wounds under the engine. Before pick and showel could be raised in his behalf death had released him. Engineer Christy was taken out as quickly as possible and removed to a neighboring room, where he will probably die from his scalds and a fractured skulL

An All-around Genius.

I sing the wonders of the deep, where monster serpentsswim and creep, where billows high and awful sweep; but I have never seen the sea. I tell of wild and awful deeds of men who fight for heathen creeds, and trumpet forth tho heathen needs, but little do they worry me. I make the blood within you boil by writing of the crimsoned soil where soldiers meet in mad turmoil, but I would dodge an empty gun. I prove that death is but repose, this fitful fever’s gentle close, but when my stomach painful grows I seek the d< ctor-on the run. I praise the poor man's homespun ecat and grasp the wealthy lordling’s throat; out when the lordling hands a note to mo I take it in, of course.

The farmer's colt and calf and lamb in mellow verse I do embalm, nor doos it hurt my little psalm that I despise the rural sod. In fact, I write on every theme from addled eggs to frozen cream, and people really dohot seem to know a genius from a fraud. —Evening Wisconsin.

“Me Scare!"

Some of the uninitiated Canadians bring with them into Maine a lively apprehension of personal peril. Being strangers in a new land makes them nervous, perhaps. A Somerset County farmer who lives well up on a hillside tells a story of his hiring through an interpreter a Canadian who could speak no English to work for him. The farmer is rather a large, stern-looking man, and just after the Frenchman arrived at his house he stepped into the pantry and came out with a largo butcher knife in his hand whetting it on a sharpener, as a preparation for cutting some meat for supper. He at the same time, began to make some talk in English to the Gaul, whose eyes opened wider and wider in alarm as he watched the whetting of tho knife. He evidently thought murder was intended, for. as the farmer came nearer him, ho bolted Out of doors like a deer and ran across the fields rind down the hillsides. His only answer, as the farmer ran after hlib, endeavoring to call him back, was, “Mo scare! Me scare!" The employer had to go to town and have matters explained by an interpreter before he could induce the Frenchman to return. —Lewiston Journal.

Not Like Our Oysters.

Very few people are aware that the pearl oyster is not in any way like the ovsters which we eat. It is of an entirely diiferent species, and as a matter of fact the shells of the so-called pearl oysters are of far more value to those engaged in pearl fishing than the pearls. There are extensive pearl fisheries in the Gulf of California, and some of the finest pearls have been taken from those waters. In 1881 one pearl—a black one —was sold for $lO,000, and every year since that time many pearls have been taken from the beds in the California gulf, valued at over $7,500 each.

The Difference Defined.

On the bridge the other day a couple of lexicographers wore arguing respecting the definition of words. “Bah!” says “Buck" Gardner. “What do you know about defining words? You don’t know the difference between an accident and a misfortune.” “Define them,” demanded Kid Miller. “Easy enough,” retorted Gardner. “If you were to lean too far over this bridge and fall in, it would be an accident. But if some derned fool were to pull you out, that would be a misfortune.” After working hard in the morning, Robault would spend the afternoon strolling about the streets of Paris. w r ' 4*' ' t.'

Only a Bell-Boy, but a Hero.

"Say! What you doin’ there? Don’t you know Jimmie hain’t slept none for goin’ on two days?” It was a chunk of a bell-boy, wdth white hair and almond eyes at one of tho down-town hotels, talking, and his remarks woie addre-ised to a second blue-coated urchin who was engagedin an attempt to arouse Jimmie, the hero of this story. “Well, if you don’t let him alone I’ll smash you,” continued the speaker, and he advanced to put his threat into execution. "How is it Jimmio gets to sleep while the rest of you work?” I asked the pugilistic call-boy. “This is the first sleep Jimmie’s got for more than thirty-six hours,” said Jimmie's friend, “ana I’m hero to keep the porter from seeing him. You see that little squirt with a scar on his nose here tho other day? Well, he’s been sick, arid Jimmio stood his watch so he wouldn’t got docked.

Now, when do porter sees J Immle and tolls the clerk then ho gits do run, and that’s what I’m doin’ hero.” To my way of thinking Jimmie is a hero. He may nover be President of tho United States or oven go to Congress, but if I was proprietor of the hotel I would tee that he got a better position just as soon as he could take care of City Timos.

A Thriving Industry.

Ever 'since tho James boys inaugurated express robbing as a. mode of profitable employment tho life of tho express messenger has boon at stake. The work of the llqno gang in Indiana, the Star gang in Indian Territory and Toxas, tho astonishing pursuit led by Evans and Sontag, both in California and other States, has merely added to tho general risk that has constantly hovored over these mon. Tho danger cannot be modified or explained away to a minimum. When it is seen, as has often been illustrated, that these desperadoes traverse whole States and even tho entire Union to execute their during work, tho danger becomes apparent. Evans and Sontag traveled from California to Wisconsin to hold up tho American Express Company’s car at some unexpected moment and out of the way place. It has since been learned that they traveled elsewhere and further to accomplish thoir purpose. Tho James gang did likewise and all tho Southwest know them from St. Louis to Brownville and from tho mountains of Tonnesse west to tho cogst. It stands to reason, then, that the messenger in Florida or Oregon, in Maine or Old Mexico, tending the wealth of some of these great corporations is as liable to receive a visit from outlaws who have traveled from afar to their shadowy night work.
