M., dispateh says: On last Friday evening two men, accompanied by two young girls, registered at the Tremont House | mm this city as F. 0. Thompson and lady, who were taken to room 16, and J. H. Staples and lady, who were taken to room 17. The two rooms were en suite. They remained until Saturday evening, and it was supposed at the hotel that they were two newly married couples. Afterward it was ascertained that the girls were the daughters of Calvin Herring, a wealthy ranchman, who lives ten miles be- yond Pinos Altos, and it was supposed that there was something wrong. On Monday night a friend of Mr. Herring rode out to the ranch and informed the father of the circumstances. Herring, after baving questioned the girls, who bad returned home, immediately started for this place, arriving yesterday morning. A few minutes later the two men were arrested. The irate father met | the deputies with their prisoners in front of the Broadway Hotel, and was with great difti- y prevented from shooting the offenders on the spot. While Herring was away from home looking after his cattle Thompson and Staples went to the house and enticed the girls, one of whom is fourteen and the other sixteen’ years of age, to come with them to Silver City.” After remain- ing at the Tremont House on Friday night and all day Saturday they took the girly back home, arriving before Herring returned. The girls have no mother and were living on the ranch with their father and they fell an easy prey. Yesterday afternoon “Calvin Herring. the | father, returned tu his ranch for the purpose 5 his daughters to this city te testify ist thet seducers, whose trial was set for He was so overcome, however, on hearing the whole story of his children's | shame that he blew out his brains with a pistol. When the news of Herring's suicide was re- ceived here the excitement ran high and threats ars trvely mace that Thompion ‘and Staples vall be lynched. ‘The prison is closely guarded, Tat it is hot thought that the officers: will ‘bs able to protect the prisoners. a THE LIBERALS MADE GAINS, ‘The Kesult of the Lewisham Election— Women Watch the Count.

Capt. Lusk has called the attention of the Commissioners to the defective sewers on G and H streets between 3d and 43¢ streets south- west and recommends that they be placed upon the schedule for replacement during the cur- rent fiscal year. HOW TO REMEDY A DIFFICULTY. In answer tos complaint recently received that there are two places in the city known as corner of Florida avenue and R strect Capt. Rossell says that the only way to prevent this trouble is to change the name of a portion of Florida avenue. For ex- ample, call that portion east of 13th street west Floridaavenue and that portion westof 13th street west Alabama avenue. ‘The objection to this ix that it makes an awkward change in the name of a continuous street. . If persons designating places would do so by number, and not say corner of such a street, then Capt. Ros- sell thinks there would be no difficulty. ‘THE PAVEMENT ON B STREET. Apropos of the suggestion of the sealer of weights and measures, who has recently been placed in charge of the Center Market, Capt. Rowsell today recommended and the Commis- sioners approved the repaving of the pavement on Bstrect south of the Center Market and that a space of twenty feet wide on cach side of the same be laid with vitrified brick. In making this recommendation Capt. Ros- sell suys that he is actuated by the bad condi- tion of the street, and it secms to require a style of pavement more easily kept clean than cobble. work will commence at an early day. A DIFFICULT PROBLEM. Capt. Rossell is of the opinion that one of the most difficult problems now awaiting solu- tion is how to get rid of water in sections where there are no sewer facilities. Hundreds of complaints are on file at the Commissioners’ Office concerning the above, and Capt, Roswell in doing all in his power to devise some scheme to remedy the evil. MK. CUDMORE’S CONTRACT. ‘The Commissioners have ordered that the ineomplete work of Contractor €udmore, under contract 1270, be done by day labor and charged against his contract. MISCELLANEOUS. C. L.

Today in the Police Court » young man named Lambert Whitely was arraigned on a charge of stealing an overcoat belonging to William H. Wonder. Whitely was once a gov- ernment department clerk, and once before he was arrested on a charge of dishonesty, but SHOOTING STARS. “Hold on!” exclaimed the first cornettist to the leader of the band, “‘we can't play ‘I Want tobe an Angel’ here.” “Why not?” “This is a medical college commencement.” The stoutest soldier will sometimes quail be- fore his wife's baking powder. “Did he look ghastly?” inquired the sympa- thizing neighbor. “Kind of guasedly,” replied the bereaved woman. “That's what ailed him you know. He blew it out.” Tho man who thinks that flying high Is what his nature most will suit, Is lucky if he keeps near by His “bard sense” for a parachute.

But Two Were Opened at the Navy Depart- ment Yesterday—The Conditions Kequired. ‘Two bids were opened yesterday at the Navy Department for the construction of a steel twin-screw sea-going torpedo boat of not less ‘than 120 tons displacement, as follows: ‘The Cowles Engineering Company of Brook- lyn, N.Y., $117,490, and the Iowa iron works of Dubuque, Towa, $118,500. The Columbia Safety Steamship Company of Boston sent a letter requesting that the time for opening the bids and the period for completing the vessel be extended. Both of the bids were based on the plans of the department. The craft is to be built ex- elusive of armament and the torpedocs and appendages. Tho advertisement for proposals provided that the contract for the construction of the vessel shall contain provisions to the effect that the contractor guarantees that when completed and tested for speed in smooth ‘water, under conditions to be prescribed by the Navy Department, the speed developed by the vessel upon such trial shali be not less than an average of twenty-four knots per hour, maintained successively for two consecu hours. For speed so developed and maintained above said guarantee, up to and includin twenty-five knots per hour, the contractor shial premium over and above the contract price at the rate of $2,500 per quarter knot, and for speed so developed and maintained by said vessel in excess of twenty-five knots per hour the contractor shall receive » premium, over and above the contract price, at the rate of 3,500 per quarter knot; and if the vessel fails to develop and maintain, as aforesaid, the guaranteed speed (twenty-four knots) deduc- tions on account of such failure shall be made from the contract price at the rate of $2,500 per knot: but that it shall be optional with the Secretary of the Navy to reject said vessel if under the conditions prescribed, as aforesaid, she shall fail to successfully develop and main- tain for a period of two consecutive hours an average speed of at least twenty-three knots per hour. The vessel is to be completed in twelve months. — IN NORTHERN MEXICO. Baker Reports That the Country is Being Rapidly Developed. Lieut. A. C. Baker, commissioner to Mexico for the world’s fair, who has just returned from a trip in the northern partof the republic, gives interesting information concerning the pro- gress of that region. ‘The harbor work at Tam- pico and the Monterey and Mexican Gulf rail- road, tugether with the branch of the Mex- ican Central from Tampico to San Luis Potosi, will, in his opinion, shortly open lower Ta- maulipas to colonization and investment. ‘The section of the railroad over the mountain, as an engineering problem, is as difficult as the famous Orroyo road in Peru, with the advan- tage of a luxuriant vegetation, beautiful eas- cades and magnificent gorges. Large sums have been spent for masonry, as all the danger- ous places where a washout is possible are built up with stone wali ‘Phe road therefore offers not only scenery. but also a feeling of securit, somewhat unusual when through a mountainous country. the ‘Tumpico jetties continues to progress rapidly, the engineers expecting to reach a suiticient depth by October which will allow steamers of the Ward line te cross the bar. Once over the bar there is from twenty-tive to thirty feet of water to Tampico. The current of the river isabout five knots to the hoar, which is sufficient to push the bar seaward asthe jetties progrem. The state of Tamaulipas con- tains 190,000 inhabitants, and the valuation ix $6,214,945. Good land with plenty of water can be bad at $2,000 a square lengue. A fanega, or nine and a half actos, produced $409 a yeut in sugar. Horned cattle are worth $8 a head, regardless of uge or sex. The lands through- out the lower part of Tamaulipas are capable of producing anything, aud the climute is healthy.

Narorat Barpoz, August 26, 1891. smile and joke and wade around like ducks and declare that they don’t mind it one bit; in fact rather like 1t and can shoot just as well to- morrow, and so on. But the fact remains that itis very discouraging and damp and cold. The bracing mountain air bas lost its charm and the tops of the trees are lost in a heavy mist. Every one thought that the rain would certainly stop before the day was over, and Col. Parsons, who originally owned the entire place, has Promised that it will be clear by 6 o'clock this evening or he will pay a heavy wager, so they all feel confident that he will keep his word. He isa genial old sonthern colonel and has ‘8 beautiful home, which was once the home of Thomas Jefferson. He has just lately sold the place to a Boston syndicate, and simply retains & little lawn of about a thousand acres or so. He has two handsome daughters and a fine stable of Virginia thoroughbreds, which he placed at the disposal of the ladiee of our 2A and promised them a number of delight- ‘ul rides when the rain was over. There are about twelve miles of drives within the grounds over the wildest kindof mountain scenery, up to the summit of Mars Hill and Mount Lebanon and up and down the glen and round over the bridge. ‘Ihe ladies took their first horseback Fido thie morning, and one of them being & new rider the fun at hor expense served to brighten the whole party. The rain kindly held off for a fow hours, and indeed gives promise of the sunshine before very long. * Everybody went to the ball room last night and there was quite au impromptu dance. ‘The band is an indefatigable one and played until the last couple were worn out and went to bed. aT THE BRIDGE. A few archers bundiéd up and started for the bridge. After registering and dropping the 50 cents in the slot the gate was opened and they filed down the mountain path to the glen. You follow a tumbling mountain stream under some of tho largest arbor-vitw trees in the world which are said to be at least 1,500 years old, and. then farning to the right you find yourself in perpetual shatow, with the great bridge far above you. 5 : s # It approaches Niagara in grandeur and ex- ceeds it in height and awful mystery. Itis a single block of limestone with many shades of color, from deep iron to light, whitish gray, wide enough to span an ordinary city street and high enough to throw in@hadow the turre of the highest church. The w: are smooth, as if cut by a chisel, and no sign of displac Under it ‘men look like boys and trees like bushes.” The place ig full of echoes and the wind and waters moan eternally. ‘THE STORY OF ITS BUILDING has never been told. ‘There are natural tun- nels and elsewhere fissures and streams are spanned with rock masses lodged in falling, and with a free imagination these may be called bridges, but there is no awful mystery, no har- mony, no perfect. proportion, no natural rela- tion of height of pier and width of way, no parapets, no twin buttresses, no unseamed walls, no painted pillars. We wonder if this was formed by a great convulsion or by the slow wearing of waters or the slower gnawing of gases. The glen above the bridge extends fora mile to Lace Water Falls, where Cedar creek leaps 100 feet from the upper level. ‘The rocks are very white andsmooth and the waters dash from side to side and wea’ beautiful veil of foam and spray. is low archway which had been made in the mountain side. You can only sce a short way into the black caverns, but the sound of falling water is intensified by the echoes from the rocky walls, so that it sounds like the rushing of « mighty river. Noone can find the source and no one knows the outlet, and it is a weird, lonely stream with water as cold asice. The archers boldly started out for the long tramp up tho slippery path. Certainly the pouring rain is not a pleasant walking companion, but with high gum boots and gossamers they fell equal to anything. EXCUSE FOR POOR SCORES. If the scores are unusually poor this year the archers will think they have a good excuse for their falling off on account of the rain. The ball room isthe most popular place in the evening, and the band is indefatigable and grinds out weird strains as long as a single @ | couple will stay on the floor. ‘When the personally conducted excursion reaches here they will more than fill up every nook und cranny of the place. ‘The glen will be lighted, the band will find some new pieces and everybody will dress up. If bold Robin Hood could just step out of the ages and take a look st the national archery tournament of 1891 he would certainly smile a ghastly smile and use a little of his choicest profanity. He never stopped for weather nor storms, in fact he is supposed to revel in the worst phases of the elements. The archery clubs in England are very large and very numerousand some of them havebeen organized {for overacentury. One club numbers 800 members and has an’ annual tournament, ut which the prizes are bendsome and ap: propriate. The American ladies have no rea- son to be ashamed of their record, for their scores have surpassed any of thove ever made by English women. —<—<—___ EXPERIMENTAL FREE DELIVERY. ‘What It Has Accomplished in the Towns in Which It Has Been Tried. Since February last the free delivery service has been established ina number of small towns with the view of ascertaining whether the ex- tension of this system to all incorporated towns would be practicable. Maj. Pollock, the superintendent of the free delivery sys- tem, bas prepared a table showing the receipts. at these offices’ forthe last two quarters as compared with the corre- sponJing period of last year. This experi- mental service has been established at forty- eaght offices, but in the case of six the service was only begun in July last and no returns have been received. Theaverageannual rate of expenditure forcar- rier services at these offices is $192.42. ‘The gross receipts at eight of these offices have not only not increased, but have fallen off singe the es- tablishment of the servic: ‘The revenue increased in $341.09. ceipts of Pp =, was $13.11 at $21.93; at Laurel, Md., City, "Va, $169.

CHAMBERLIN MAKES A CLASSIFICATION WHICH 18 OBJECTED TO BY THE FOREIGN DELEGATES. Crowds of the members of the international congress of geologists, many of them accom- panied by ladies, filled the corridors of the Columbian University from 10 o'clock today. ‘The delegates chatted in the halls, were intro- duced to each other and strolled through the various rooms, in which interesting exhibitions filled long rows gf cases, The post office and bureau of information were also popular places. The greetings were in any number of languages and manners. Two distin- guished looking and actually distinguished Russian delegates were seen kissing each other gravely as they met. So far as language iscon- cerned the favorite, however, seemed to be the English, in many cases accentuated by a de- a accent, a the — was in Marra rogram. Ju: before 11 o'clock, however, tha council came down stairs and it was buzzed throngh the hall that the day's proceedings were to open with a discussion on the nomenclature and cl tion of the pleistocene formation. MR. CHAMBERLIN OPENS THE DISCUSSION. The hall was well filled when Vice President Le Conte rapped for order and announced the question to be discussed. The discussion was immediately opened by Mr. Thomas C. Cham- berlin, the ‘distinguished president of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin at Madison. Mr. Cham berlin ie a big man witha big brain. His ad- minwtrative capabilities aro of the highest order, while on the question of glacial geology he is a recognized authority the world over. _Mr. Chamberlin favored a genetic classitica- tion of pleistocene glacial formation. He pro- posed six glacial clasos: 1. Formations pro- ced directly from action of pleistocene gla- ; 2. Formations produced by the combined on of, pleistocene glaciers and accompany. & glacial drainage; 3. Formations produced y glacial water after their issuance from pleis- tocene glaciers, 4. Formation produced by floating ice de- rived from pleistocene glaciers. 5. Formation produced by shore ice and ice flores due to low pleistocene temperature, but independent of glacier action. 6. Formations produced by winds acting on Pleistocene glacial and glacio-fuvial deposits under the peculiar conditions of glaciation. INCLUDED IN THE DIFFERENT CLASSES. Under the first general class Mr. Chamber- lin would include formations produced by the direct action of pleistocene glaciers; producte derived from material borne on the glaciers and within them and deposited at their margins orlet down by their melting when staguant, and products of the mechanical action of the edge of the ice, and under each of these sub- heads Mr. Chamberlin gave an interesting ex- planation. Under the second general class Mr. Chamber- lin would have three subclussifications. De- posits of subglacial streams, deposits of super- glacial streams and marginal deposits. In regard to the third general class, he pro- posed three subdivisions: 1, by glucial rivers; Telegrams to Tae Star. MISS MITCHELL DEAD, ‘The Actress Who Was Shot in an English Railway Train. Loxpox, August 27.—Miss Leonors Mitchell, the Americam actress, who was found shot un- der mysterious circumstances in a railroad car- riage between Leicester and Bedford about two weeks ago, died this merning. Miss Mitchell, whose name was at first sup- to be Leonore Marie, was found on Kogust 8 suffering from a pistol shot wound in a first-class carriage of an express train run- ninig between the two towns mentioned. The rounded Indy ‘was well dressed and waa only able to @n incoherent story that @ had been shot by a man who stood on the foctboard of the train. The po. lice investizated the affair and came to the conclusion that it was not a case of attemptod murder, and that the injuries from which Miss Mitchell was suffering were self inflicted. The dead actress is said to have friends liv- ing in New York city. i LIVE STOCK AT THE FAIR, How the $150,000 Will Be Divided tm Pre- miume. Cutcago, August 27.—Chief Buchanan has announced his schedule of premiums in the live stock departinent of the world’s fair. The directors have appropriated $150,000 fer this pur- Pose, and in accordance with au order from the board of control = scheme has been arranged for division among the various classes which tod to compete. ‘The scheme, as pre- sented to the executive committee, provides: For horses, about $52,000; for cattle, about $30,000; for swine, about $20,000; for sheep, about $15,000; for poultry and pet stock, about 1,000; for dogs, about $4,000, makin, of $131,000. ‘This leaves a contingent $19,000, which has been reserved by Chief Ba- chanau for use as premiums in case it is de- sired to admit classes of animals not included in the present scheme. pace The House of Ruth.

Pensacola Tuesday and 2, by fringing lakes; 3, by bordering oceans. Under the fifth general head three subdivis- ions, shore ridges, lateral deposits and off shore deposits were proposed. Tho sixth head, according to Mr. Chamber- lin, should have two subheads (1) dunes and (2) eolian loess. A FRENCH DELEGATE SPEAKS. ‘The question of the classification was then thrown open to discussion. Before, however, the question could be fairly started the chair- man stated that any one could use in discussing the question the language to which he was most familiar. Accepting the invitation Prof. Albert Gaudrey. a distinguished expert on glacial formation and a member of the Museum of National History at Paris, attacked the sub- ject in a voluble flow of French. There is no doubt that it wes good French, because it sounded all right and many of the delegates looked appreciative, but it eame too fast for the reporter. It is understood, how- ever, that Prof. Gaudrey opposed several of the Proposed classifications and pointed out that im the upper portion of Prance different climatic periods were shown, IN NO SENSE CRRONOLOGICAL. Prof. T. McKenny Hughes, however, pointed out the fact that the proposed classification was in no sense chronological. He showed by draw- inge on the blackboard that glacial action showed preulinr mixtures of chronological pe- riods. Mr. Hughes gave interesting de- scription of the pitted Picitcine, classitied urder marginal deposits by Mr. Chamberlin as found in England. Mr. Hughes in the course of the discussion gave it as his opinion that thero were no distinct succession of glacial action over the world. A GERMAN PROFESSOR TAKES A HAND. The discussion was continued by Dr. Felix Wahnschaffe, who, besides being a stalwart, bearded scientist, is director of the University of Berlin. The doctor, to make all things even and preserve the balance of power, spoke in German. The doctor described the action of glaciers on forming moraines and. illustrated is talk by a number of drawings. Theassocia- tion at this pomnt took # recess for lunch. A large attendance was on band at 2:30 for the afternoon session. The morning’sdiscussion had been confined to the classification of pleistocene glacial formations. At the afternoon session, however. Prof. W. J. MeGce presented a scheme of classification of general pleistocene formations. At the afterroon session also Prof. Pavlow of Moscow gave an excecdingly interesting talk on the Russian glaciers. ‘This evening thcre will bea reception ten- dered the congress by Mr. and Mrs. 8. F.

Daley and |, Policeman Hartigan examined the premises and in doing so they discovered that one of tho burglars had worn rubber shoes and had walked in molasses that had been spilled on the fluor. The tracks hud been carried outside into the yard and as far as the pavement, where they were lost sight of. When the two officers started out to look for the burglars they met the two colored boys mentioned. Bodley was wearing a pair of ru ber shoes at the time and the officers arrested him on suspicion. His shoes fitted the tracks and he admitted his guilt. His companion also acknowledged his presence in Harvey's store Friday night. ‘They had divided the plunder about evenly and the officers recovered most of it from their were arraigned before Judge iarper. pleaded guilty and Lawyer Moss waived an examination for Reynolds. ‘The boys were committed to jail to await the action of the grand jury. ————— A Freight Conductor Fined.
