A British Gunboat Captures a Govern- ment Vessel, A private dispatch received at Montreal yes- terday by Mr. Barnet Lawrence, consul for Ven- ezuela, states that the British gunboat Ready, from Demerara, with Commissioner McTurck on board, arrived at Barima, at the mouth of the Orinoco, and ordered the captain of the Faro, a Venezuelan man-of-war, to haul down his colors, The captain submitted to superior force, The Venezuelan government has sent a com- mission to the spot to investigate and the com- mander of the Faro will be tried by court- martial for having yielded without making a Proper show of resistance. The press of Cara- cas suggests that another vessel be sent with her guns shotted and the Venezuelan flag nailed to the mast, and, if worsted, that an ap- peal be made tothe United States and sister republics of South America and to the parlia- mentof England, A He has existed for some time between England and Venezuela as to a portion of the territory lving between British Guiana and the mouth of the Orinoco river, which is the natural outlet for the produce of the country, Lately two Canadians named William Try Stevens and Charles A. Connelly, representing themselves as Americans from New York, were expelled from the country for selling maps in the city of Caracas showing this belt of land as being dis- puted territory. oo Cool Tom Patterson. From the Chicago Tribune. A half dozen story tellers were at a Washing- ton street rendezvous last night and one of them related this: “Tho coolest man I ever saw was Tom Pat- terson, a young traveling man who used to go out of Chicago, Tom had a way of celebrat- ing his return to tho city in a manner that made him a favorite with acertain class of Doysubout town, The only trouble with him was thatwhen he fell under the table it was good-by' to ‘Tom. He never moved until the nextday. Finally his best friends undertook to reform him. Persuasion was of not much effect, and they concluded to try another scheme, One night, whon Tom was groaning under his cargo, the boys toted him to the old morgue, which was then over on 3d avenue where thoro is now a skyscraper. That morgue wus always open. Tom was laid ona slab be- tween two unknowns, It was a ghastly sort of joke. Tho boys lngered about to awhit ro- sults, After awhile Tom returned to conscious- ness and struck a light’ He was a great smoker. He held up the match so as to see where he was and of course he saw. Then he lighted a cigar, sat there and smoked, after which he resumed his recumbent position on the slab, The boys then called him, but he informed them that he didn’t want to be disturbed. Of course we had to get him out, but he wouldn't come until he got ready, Once we threatened him, but he replied that if we used any force he would raise an alarm and have us run in on the charge of prowling around a morgue for the purpose of stealing dead bodies, And he was as cool as a sudden cold wave.” ae ‘toe = To Measure the Tide Flow. A young scientist connected with the United States steamer Fish Hawk, which is used in experimentin; on Long Island sound, has in- vented an ingenious instrument for measuring the flow of the tides. It is made of sheet cop- perin the shape somewhat of a fish, and is about four feet long. It is, when in use, sus pended from the end of a twenty-foot spa rigged to the side of the steamer, and extend- ing at right angles with her, to make the ac- tion of the machine entirely independent of currents that might be caused by the steamer. ‘The head of this mechanical fish consists of a delicately made revolving screw or wheel, not unlike in construction and shape the propelling screw of the steamer. When this fish is low- ered into the water it turns its head toward thy current and is held in that position by the ‘ail, which serves the purpose of a rudder, Within the body of the tish is placed delicate ma- chinery, which registers the revolutions made by the revolving screw, and the rapidity of the revolutions 1s transmitted to the Saboratory on the steamer by an ingeniously constructed electrical apparatus, thus recording the rapid- ity of the current, An interesting fact ascertained by the gov- ernment observers on this vesse! is that at the extremities of the sound the tide begins to flow inward near the bottom one and one-half houra before it begins to flow in the same direction at the surface of the wat Atidistediaboren Will Gov. Jackson Deliver Juhn? Gov. Jackson of Maryland a short time ago decided not to deliver Max Jubn into the cus- tody of the authorities of New York because the indictment found in New York charging Juhn with grand larceny in having obtained 14,000 worth of goods from H. B. Claflin & Co. gave the wrong date, Juhn was thereupon dismissed. The grand jury of New York city having found an’ indictment charging Juhn with the commission of the offense on the date corresponding with the day on which he was in New York and catled upon Chaflin & Co., Gov. Jackson will hear evidence on Friday and de— termino whether to honor the new requisition of Gov. Hill and send Juhu to New York, —— coe why Two Parsce Merchants. Two picturesque figures were the center of observation at the barge office in New York yesterday. They were two Parsee merchants, who spoke no English and who had been pas- sengers onthe Richmond Hill from London, They wore long, flowing garments, with rich embroideries, and skull caps, bordered with gold brocade, Their names were Moul Bran and Mu Lac, and it was found impossible to se- cure an interpreter to communicate with them. ‘This was unfortunate, as they brought with them several trunks of very ‘rare and beau- tiful silks aud laces, which had to be scruti- nized by the. customs officials and charged a considerable duty. The destination of the two traders is St., Augustine. Fla, eee Drew $70,000 and Died Poor. Noah D, Taylor, one of the best-known men in Jersey City, died yesterday at his country home at Highland Beach. He was the founder of Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City. Thirty-five years ago,when he had just attained his twenty-tirst year, he held a winning ticket in a lottery and received $70,000. He entered politics and was elected to the assembly and state senate. He ran for Congress, but was de- feated, After thathe became reckless and went through all his money. At the time of his death he was hi th a dollar, Truth In the Ship’s Log. From the Traveller's Record, During a certain voyage of a down-cast ves- sel the mi who usually kept the log, became intoxieated one day and was unable to attend to his duty. As the man very rarely committed the offense the captain excused him and at- tended to the log himself, concluding thi “The mate has been drunk all day.” ext day the mate was on deck and resumed his duties. Looking at the he discovered the entry the captain had made and ventured to remonstrate with his superior. “What was the need, sir.” he asked, “of put- ting that down on the log.” “Wasn't it true?” asked the captain, “Yes, sir; but it doesn’t seem necessary to enter it on the log.” “Well,” said the captain, “since it was true, it had better stand; it had better stand.” ‘The next oy the captain had occasion to look at the log, and at the end of the entry which the mate had made was found this ite: “The captain has been sober all day. The captain summoned the mate and thun- dered: “What did you mean by putting down that entry? Am I not sober every day?” “Yes, sic; but wasn’t it true?” “Why, of course it was true!” Weil, then, said the mate, “since it was oe think it had better stand; it had better stand.” A charter has just been granted to the Great Falis Water Power Manufact and Im- provement Company to develop and utilize the water power of the Roanoke river -between Weldon and Gaston, N.C.

The Coroner’s Inquest on the Body of Thomas Johnston, Deputy Coroner Schaeffer and Dr. G. G. Morris performed an autopsy on the body of Thomas Johnston, the stone cutter who wi found dead under an oak tree in the grove at Eckington yesterday morning, as published in yesterday's Stax, and at noom today an inquest was held at the sixth precinct station, TEE TEsTIMONY. Henry Jobnson, a colored laborer who lives on 15th street extended, was the first witness called, He is employed at the Eckington Monday He testified orks =~ — the body ons morni: an oug! ‘man was asleep. The body was about 25 yards from the road.and it being nothing unusual to see aman lying there he paid no attention to him, but went on about Eis business, Inthe evening, about 5:30 o'clock, he again noticed the man in the same position, and again he thought the man was either drunk or asleep. “Do many persons travel near that spot dur- ing the day?” inquired the coroner. es, sir,” the witness responded. bout a thousand persons pass there every day,” interrupted Mr. Miller. Witness, continuing, said he thought it im- ible for a man to be assaulted and robbed in that part of the woods in daylight without some one knowing it. He first saspected some- thing wrong when he noticed the same posi- tion of the man’s coat on each occasion. William Pfeifer testified that he saw the body twice Monday afternoon, but did not suspect anything wrong, as eo many personssleep about in the woods in warm weather. Yesterday morn- ing, when he again saw the body, he discovered that the man was dead and he reported it to the police. The bottle of iaudanum found on the dead man was produced and it was found to contain a fraction over an ounce of the poison. The label showed it came from the Belvedere pharmacy aud Dr. Schaeffer was of the opinion that it had not been touched by the deceased. The doctor stated that several powders had also been found among his effects, ut they were not of a poisonous character. They were for the headache. Dr. G. G. Morris gave evidence as to the autopsy and said that the lungs of the de- ceased were sufficiently congested to have caused death, THE VERDICT. The jury returned a verdict that Johnston came to his death from congestion of the lungs and they saw no reason to believe that any foul play had taken place or that the deceased com- mitted suicide. The body was taken in charge by Under- taker J. Wm. Lee and prepared for burial, which will be done at the expense of the stone cutters’ union, amiga de THE NEW REGISTER OF WILLS. Col. Wright to Take Charge September 1—His Bond. Col. L. P. Wright, who was recently ap- Pointed register of wills, was at the court house today, where he obtained the address of Chief Justice Bingham, who is now at Union, Monroe county, W. Va. He intends to send to Judge Bingham for his approval the bond which is required, and when his ignature is obtained Col. Wright will be ready to tile the bond and assume the duties of his new office. He, however, does not intend to take formal charge of the office until the Ist of September, as he thinks that it is better to make the change on the Ist of the month. Col. Wright has been in conference with Register Clagett and has obtained a good many points in regard to the office. As he told a Stan reporter this morning, Col. Wright had never becn in the register's offico until after he had received the appointment, and did not know whether it was a salaried office or a fee office until afew days ago. He that he recognizes the fact that in tho ad- ministration of an office of this kind a conserv- ative policy ought to be pursued. and it is his intention to conduct the office in that man- ner, ieee Fined for Keeping a Disorderly House. Eliza Smallwood was charged in the Police Cour: today with keeping a disorderly house at 343 Maryland avenuo southwest. Moses Saunders, janitor of the Miner Institu- tion, gave damaging testimony ageinst the reputation of the house and told of the dis- graceful acenes he had witnessed around there. Mr. Moss appeared for the defense and plead for his client, but to no avail, for Judg> Mills decided that the facts were at variance with the way he had presented them and ended the case by imposing a fine of $25, teases tec Killed by a Fall.

Robert G. Bulliss, who was discharged on Monday by Judge Bradley under a writ of habeas corpus from the custody of Hugh Turner, agent of the territory of Utah, left town yesterday. Turner, it will be remembered, took an appeal to the Court in General Term, and it was intimated that Builiss would remain here. Bulliss has been staying at the Ashton House, 313 Pennsylvania avenue, and it is stated that having received information that Turner was further communicating with the governor o: Utah ho yesterday afternoon took a carriag2 and drove out of town to takea train, a oe The Golden Cross. Columbia Comandery, No. 374, U. 0. G.C., held its regular mecting last evening at Med- ford’s Hall. In the absence of Noble Com- mander Lewis, Vice Noble Commander Emma F. Bishop presided. Lady Jessie M. Blair con- tinued the work of filling the quota of t! commandery for the present term by prosent- ing the applications of Mrs. Sarah A. Hansell and Joseph S, Moss for membership. ‘The first degree was conferred on Charles A. Gonzen- bach. Sir Knight Sayer gave an interesting account of his visit to Putnam Commandery at Somerville, Mass. Sir Knight Harvey re- cited “Woh’s Who” in a humorous manner. The good of the order was discussed py Sir Knights Harvey, Sayer and Gunson and Ladics Blair and Cole and Sir Knight Branson of Goodwill Commandery, a Family Troubles Aired in Court. Mr. and Mrs. John R.
