The coming eclipse will be annularand total (ring like), caused by the moon being too *mall to cover the entire sun. hence a narrow bright ring will surround the black moon, presenting a sight as beautifal as its occur. rence is rare. eclipse (not the annular ase) first touches the earth at suprise in e Atlantic Ocean northeast of the Bermada Islands. and leaves it at sunset fof he sou: erm part of Africa. The annular! hase, not visib’e here. first touches the earta-at sunris: on the shore of Lake Ontario, aGout three miles northeast of that narrow neck of land separating Sodur Bay from the lake, follow. ing the track of the parti the earth at sunset on the [ car.

The distance between these two lines ‘represents & terrestrial about 110 miles in. width Through the centre of this belt the eclipse Will not only be aanular, but will also be ex actly central, the ring concentric with the sun's centre, and of course of equal width ail round. On each side of the central line the ring will be eccentric and of course unequal in width, the eccentricity increasing until euch boundary is passed, when the eclipse ceases to be annular and assumes the ap pesxrance of @ long, slender crescent. lo Served this same eclipse with much youthfal curiosity at its appearance in 109, though it was neither annular nor total, though near ly 0. The beautiful thoughts connected with it cling to me yel, and awaken adesire toob serve it again, which I intend to donear Syr. acuse, where the magnitade of the eclipse will be the largest—11 , digits. In 1895 this eclipse will occur again, and every eighteen years, and about ten days thereafter, every Lime passing over the earth some sixty miles farther south, and will finally pass off the earth at the South Pole, after having appeared seventy-seven times from its first appearance at the North Pole occupying 1,385 years. Afler this it will not tonch the earth, but will take place in space Ul after the lapse of 12.492 years, when it will torch the earth again at the North Pole, as before, to repeat the same ey cle over and over again forever. ° —______2__ Death by Burning. A WOMAN PERISHING IN THE PRESENCE OF HER SON. Mr. James Rotan$ a shipbuilder, of Totten. ville, Staten Island, was awakened about twelve o'clock on Wed: y night by the smell of smoke. A small fire in the klichen fireplace was burning briskly, and Mr. Ratan covered the embers and went back to bed About three o'clock he was again awaken: The house was filed w lense smoke. Mr Rutan called bis family of eight persons. Oo the outside of the house, in the rear, a sheet of flame burst from the side, and the kitchen was all ablaze. Mr. Rutan’s mother, Mrs. Rachael Rutan, eighty-two years of age called from the front window in the second Story for help, as the stairway leading to the lower floor was im passing quickly through the fire and smoke it) the hallway, found bis mother sitting oo the . He endeavored to persuade her to out of the window on to the plazza running along the front of the house, and thence by « ladder to the ground. Mrs. Rutan became hysterical and resisted the efforts of her son to rescue her. Mr. Levy, the only other man at the scene, ascended the ladder, and with the help of Mr. Rutan endeavored to raise Mrs. Rutan through the window. Mrs. Ru- tan continued to resist for fear of falling from the piazza, and as she weighed about 20 Foutde the men were unable to force tier hrovgh the window. Thesmokeenterad the room, and Mrs. Rutan fell to the floor, suf foeated. Mr. Rutan also fell, but reached the window. As be jumped upon the piazza his firength gave way, and he fell exhausted on the roof. Mr. Levy aroused him, and as- sisted him to the ground. Ina short time the house was consumed. Yesterday after- poon Mrs Ratan’s charred remains were taken from the ruins.—N. ¥. Sun, 24th, _————_—_—— SNATCHED FROM THEGRIP OF 4 Mon STER.—Upou the application of Mr. Monroe 8, Minstoe, of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Justice Morgan or dered the arrest of Michael Bradiey, of No 51 Goerck street, for brutally beating hi- little niece, Nellie Boyle, eight years old For some time the neighbors in the house had been shocked by the little giri’s sereavas under severe chastisement at the hands of Bradley. On the 13th instant, Bradley, who Was intoxicated, took a barrel hoop brist ling with nails and began to beat the belp- Jess child so shockingly that several of wie ladics of the house felt constrained to inter- fere. So severe had the chastisement been that the child's body and limbs were stained w.th blood, the nails of the boop having en- tered her flesh. Her body is covered with bruises from the kicks and euiTs of Bradley Bradley was committed in default of s70) bail. The little girl is tobe wlopted by a humane neighbor.— N. ¥. Sun, 2d. OPPOSITION TO SUNDAY TRAINS.—Sever- al years ago the Methodist clergymen of Newark stoutly opposed the running in that city of Sund”y horse cars; but, upon a popu: Jar vote being taken, the people declared in favor of the cars by more than a two-third vote. Yesterday, at a meeting of the Metho- dist Preachers’ association of Newark, a preamble and resolutions were adopted set- ing forth that the running of Sanday exeur- sion trains, (those run to the centennial buildings) was in violation of the laws of God and of new Jersey, against the moral sense of the Christian community, a desecration of the Sabbath and demoralizing to people, em- ployes, &c. They request the Pennsylvania = road company to stop them.—N. ¥. Her- ad, 21st. THE AERIAL LADDER Jon.—The inquiry into the serial ladder calamity was con- lnved yesterday. Mrs. Scott Uda testified that she sld the right to use the ladder to the New York fire department for $25,000, and pending a suit to recover this amount she sold out ber interest in the patent and the claim to the chief clerk of depart ment for $15,000. Fortunately for the chief clerk the controller paid the claim very ortly after this pu: se. The clerk ves- tifles that he paid the $15,000 to Mrs. Scott- Uda with bis own money. The transaction appears on its face to be as rotten as the lad- der, which cost three fremen their lives.—V. ¥. Herald, 2d.
