Edes had the deadly missile in his lap while Spalding was rowing the launch. The tide was low and the torpedo was planted in about three fathoms of water. Near by was a steam launch with the remainder of the class under instructions on board. Admiral Porter, Captain Selfridge and the officers of the torpedo. station were on Goat Island, where the torpedo station is located, forthe purpose of witnessing the ex iment. Ed@es leaned forward to ar- Tange the apparatus in the water, when a loud noise and explosion rwere heard and the two bodies of the unfortunate men were seen in the air. The bodies went into the air some 35 feet, | and with them ascended the debris of the boat. | The workmen employed on the station waded into the water as soon as possible and recovered all that was possible of the bodies.

She resides in this city. Spalding, who was not married, resided in Portsmouth, N.H. The cor- | oner’s jury brought in a verdict to the effectthat Edes and Spalding met their death by the acci- | dental explosion of a torpedo, which would not have happened had they followed instructions. No one at the torpedo station is to blame. This exculpates Lieutenant Caldwell, one of the in- structors. who in doing his duty in closing the circuit made possible the accident, for Edes de- pended upon keeping this circuit open, although he failed to inform Caldwell of his intentions.

NS A WEALTHY Man.—For past reports of negotiations be- Senator Gordon and a railroad sy dicate for the sale of gome valuable coal lands in Alabama have reathed Washington. The great esteem in which the general was held here during his seven years’ senatorial service caused great interest to be taken in the progress of the negotiations, and to-day much pleasure was ex- pressed among his friends at_the news of the confirmation of the sale under circumstances assuring General Gordon a handsome fortune. The lands lie along the Georgia Pacitic, the rail- road of which the general is president, and which is the product of a syndicate in which the Richmond and Danville company is a leading element. They have been bought in at different times by General Gordon and his two brothers and Governor Colquitt, and they are now sold at $700,000, to be equally divided between these four gentlemen, they also receiving $1,000,000 in stock inthe Richmond and Danville Extension company, and General Gordon being president of the Georgia Pacific at_a handsome salary. Few officials have eyer been more cordially liked and respected than General Gordon, and when he left the Senate the feeling was univer- sal in Washington that the south had lost one of its safest and wisest counselors in federal Politics.— Wash.

It is appre- hended that notwithstanding the warnings given of the approaching storm some vessels along the coast have suffered, and news of disasters will be received during the week. The storm has been very severe and particularly dangerous to vessels from the fact that the wind shifted, fre- quently, blowing from the north, east, north- east, northwest and west.

A correspondent of the London Standard, writing from Frankfort, reports the death of Dr. Tanner, the American faster, as having occurred at Amsterdam more thana month ago. He is said to have arrived there with his wife and two children, and put up at the Hotel Cornelius. For a week after his arrival he confined himself to his room, eating rayenously five or six meals a day, and consuming large quantities of spirits, At length he informed the hotel keeper who he was, and said that he had come t Dr. Croff. This physician had in several Dutch papers ex- pressed disbelief in the genuineness of Dr. Tan- ner’s well-known fast, and declared the latter must have obtained nutriment by secret means. The object of Dr. Tanner in going to Amster- stam was to perform in Dr. Croff’s house a fast similar to that which he had gone through in America last autumn. The wager was to be 50,000 francs, or 2,000 pounds. Dr. Croff, who away at the time Dr. Tanner reached Am- sterdam, returned home on the 18th ult., and at once sent a messenger to the American, whohad begun to grow impatient at the delay. Rejoiced to hear that Dr. Croff had at length called, Dr. Tanner ran out of his room to receive him, but in doing so missed his footing at the top of the stairs and fell to the bottom. The fail caused concussion of the brain and other injuries, and the unfortunate faster breathed his last the very next day. The medical men of Amsterdam de- sired to open the body of Dr. Tanner, but to this Mrs. Tanner, in spite of all their entreaties and offers, wound not consent. She, however, to allow the body to be weighed, when found that its weight was only 108 pounds.
