E. STOKE WIGGINS, hh. D,

THE NOTORIOUS WEATHER PROPHET. This notorious storm predictor was born in New Brunswick, Canada, in 1839 graduating an M. D. in Philadelphia in 1868, and a B. A- at Albert College, Ontario, in 1869. He became noted as an educator, his management of the Ontario Institution for the Blind winning him high distinction. His defeat for Parliament in 1878 was rewarded by a post in the Finance Department at Otti%a. He has published an excellent English Grammar, and his essay on Comets for the Warner prize gained second place with 120 competitors.- His ancestor, Capt. Thos. Wiggins, was. sent •over in 1680 to act as governor of one of the Massachusetts districts. A great uncle, Stephen Wiggins, a St.John, N. B., millionaire, founuea the Wiggins Male Orphan Institution of St^John. In 1872, Dr. Wiggins married a- cousin,. Miss Susie AvViggins, daughter cf Vinceht W. Wiggins, of Mew Brunswick. This lady's zeal and talents procured the passage by the Canadian senate uf the bill legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's sister, which service won her a wide popularity*with her own sex

Bat it is the Donor's weather predietioos that have won l»im his questionable fame, He is no small prophet." His storm of March 10th. 1880, was to rise in the North Pacific, and striking America fjrom&eaoutiteJMst, safespe«tTalong U»e Great Lakes. Ganaaa. was to be done in the low«r 8t Lawreafce region and the Gull of Mexico Dread of this storth induced the Canadian' and New England flshwniea to keep in port until thtr time for its occurrence was past But Wiggins was undaunted by failure. Hie result, he said, had piWed the correctness of his theory that Opposite tides Were caused by the ocean's vibratory motion froih east tQ west. He was alafmed by, the increase of the moon's fortes when adyancing across the equator with the other planets. Had the WOOU'B conjunction with the sun occurred at one o'ploca, instead of tour in the morning, over the meridian

the Gulf of Guinea, instead of the China sea, ihe Atlantic coast and Florida would have been submerged the storm which thi* coincidence would have occasioned. Some day such a complication of forces must happen, and would cause tides of terrible destructiveness. He had based his prediction on this principle and he cited the storms at various,places in Sroof ot its correctness. But there isa road distinction between: forecasts of the weather for twenty four or forty-eight hours and for several months Could the theo Ties of Dr. Wiggins be conclusively ahown to rest npon a scientific basis, the breather, like motieos ot the plants, could be foretold with certainty. But this poivt cannot be considered to have been reached. It is safe to say that the Weather of March, 1888, has cast grave doubts oq the soundness of the Doctor's views. But whatever may be thought Of -his peculiar Idea and piaims, he is certainly a man of parts and extensive attainments who has rendered conspicuous service to the educational interests of

•BITUARY.

MBS. LOUISA C. OCT.

This mofning the sad inteligence was received of die death of Mrs. Louisa C. Duyf relict of (he late Lambert Duy. Foi many years the Dnys were resi dents of this city, coming here with their family wheta Terre Haute was only a small village. jMrs. Duy whose death has just occurred was an extraordinary woman in many ways, and after a life prolonged far beyond the alio ted three score years and ten, sl*e has fallen asleep, lamtnted by a large circle of friends, who were warmly attached to her by her Dfiany eminent and rare qualities of mind ana heart. Mrs. Duy t^as. a woman of unusual intelligence and 8rrengtb of character, and these aded to deep religious convictions made her honored and respected wherever she was known. From her first coming among us she was ag ernest and hearty worker in tne church of her adoption, the Episi copal church and to her energy and sacr6ces. St, Stephens parish owed much in its days of struggle and teeblenOss.

Mrs. Duy since uxe{death of her husband in 1872 made her home among her* children often remaining tor months with her son Mr. Geo. C. Duy, who has recently removed td Indianapolis. Ihe most other time, however, was generally passed with her daughter Mrs. Phil pot ot Chicago. Mrs. Duy, at the time of her death was on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Alex. Johnson of.Baltimore.

Thus it is that one by one are. removed from us those who were identified with the early history of our city. But though they no longer eo in and out among us. yet their example, their virtues, aBd their friendships, live long in the hearts and conduct of tho^f who were influenced by their acquaintance and companionship. 2LTZAHETH D.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

Borne Interesting Facts About a Great Xnterpriso of Which our Fallow Townsman is President-

MEMORANDUM

Length of the Canal akd Railroad, Progress of tho Work, Etc.

KXGABD TO THE PANAMA CANAL.

The Panama Railroad is forty-seven and three-fifths miles. The canal will be two miles shorter, that is, between fortyfive and forty-six miies.

THe water line will be npon a level with ihe sea. The tide rises, npon the Pacific side of the Isthmus, from fourteen to twenty feet, which may require a tide-lock at Panama to regulate tbe flow of water into the canal. Nothing of the kind will be required on the Atlantic side, as the mean tide.at Aspinwall is only about two feet.

The Width of the canal, between the mountain region and the sea. Will be 104 feet at tbe water level and 72 feet at the bottom, with 28 feet depth of water. In tbe mountain and rocky region it will be 92 feet at the water line ana 79 feet at the bottom, with 2(% feet depth of water.

The excavation, for six or seven miles from Aspinwall, wi'l be through swampy grounds from that point, tothe mountain region, through earth with, layers of degraded rock "in the mountain region, through rock and indurated clay, and beyond that to the Pacific, also through earth and degraded rock. The length of the rocky, excavation will be from six to seven nuleti,. requiring a cut of the average, depth of aboat 200 feet. The excavauoin in the sWampy ground, near Aspinwallr will

xbe

done with the

largest dredges ever made in tbe world, which have been manufactured inthe United States. Other dredges have also been sent from the United States for dredging elsewhere. The work of excavation has commenced.

Houses have bean built aio^g the line for the employes, the protection of laborera and tbr shops. These include hospitals for the sick at Aspinwall and Panama^ The materials for these houses have been sent from the United States—from New York, New OflesnS, Pensacola and San Francisco.

A complete sanitary system has been established so that Ihe sick are taken care of and supplied with medicine and medical attendance.

The Wages of laborers have heretofore been one dollar per day, but have been increased to one dollar and fifty cents per day. The original design was to subsist the laborers, in order to prevent the useof unhealthy food but it has turned out to be more satisfactory to allow them to subsist themselves tinder the general supervision of the Medical Corps.

A considerable number of miles of sidetracks, connecting with the Panama Railroad, have behn constructed for the transportation of earth, rock, materials, &c. others are-in progress.

A large quantity of materials and machinery, including locomotives, cars, lumber, framed houses, &c. has'been sent ftom the United States, the cost of which,inthe aggregate, has exceeded $2,090,000. Something is sent by every steamer from New York%to Aspinwall.

There are now aboat six thousand laborers at work npon the various sections. A majority of these are natives of the Island of Jamaica, some ot them from the region of-Cblumba -Jiri the rear of Cartagena, and some from the neighbors in part of tbe Jlsthmus. Jamaica negroes ate the best, DUt none, of tbem. ou account ofthe enervating influence ol tne climate, are capable of performing much work in a day as laborers in the United States. All of those engaged are natives of the tropical climate, and, therefore, acclimated.

The health is now good. Much of the siekness last year (accounts of which were greatly exaggerated) was occasioned by imprudence in eating and drinking, and as the laborers have themselves discovered this, and ace more prudent than formerly, it is believed that in the future there will be very little sickness. The country in the interior and away from the coast is comparatively healthy

In estimating the length of time that will be required lo complete, the. canal, the influence of .the climate upon the laborers should be taken into account. It will require about one-third more time than the like amount of work in the United States. Nevertheless It, is be lievea that the canal will be completed and open for navigation iq aboat aix years.

The estimated cost is $120,000,000, and it is.believed that this will be more likely reduced than increased.

The stock books were opened for only $60,000,000 but $120,000,000 were sub' scribed in Europe and the United State* —so that the stock had to be apportioned. The stock is payable in calls of twenty, five per cent. Two of these hate been

-r5,

made,and o&e^alf, or has" been paid into the Treasury of the Caaal Company. This assures the panoent of the remaining $30,000,000 aad when tha is expended, whatsoever sum shall be re quired to complete the work %U! be rata ed upon the bonds of the Canal Com pan

Thecredit of the company, is unlimited Its purchase of sharee of Fsnama Bail toad stock rendered it necesiary that a loan of $35,000,000 should he made ia December last For that purpose bonds were offered, in New York and Paris, and $50,000,000were subscribed.in one day so that, as in the case of the stock, thia loan had alsa to be apportioned. The negotiation of a loan of $30,000,000 in one day by a private corporation, is believed to.be unpeedented. '.
