Likely to Have Pleasant Days for the Present. THE WEATHER BUREAU REPORTS Lightning Would Be Welcomed by Some Investigators. TAKING SNAP SHOTS Somehow or other the rumor got started yesterday that a hot wave of tremendous proportions and of excellent quality was on its way toward this city and was Looked to reath here within a day or two. No one Was more surprised than were the officials of the weather bureau when they were apprised of the rumor by a Star reporter this morning. They had not promised any- thing of the sort and had sent out no in- formation on which such a story could be based, nor had they received any advices from the west that led them to think that such an undesirable condition of affairs was likely to materialize. On the contrary, Prof. Bigelow, the fore- cast officer of the weather, says that not only is no further accession in the matter of caloric expected, but that, on the other hand, there is reason to belleve that the reserit drop in the temperature will oid over for several days to come. ‘The maximum temperature yesterday was 86.9, which was about 10 degrees lower than prevailed on a number of days last week. Fair, with souther- ly winds, and staticnary temperature, is what is promised for this regio1, at least until tomorrow evening. According to the forecast and general review of condt- tions issued from the bureau this morning the storm which has been visible in the west has moved from Dakota with dimin- ishing energy and is now central over Wis- consin. The barometer is low over the Middi2 and South Atlantic states and is high over the gulf states. It is highest to the north of Montana and fs rising over the extreme northwestern states. The temperature has fallen over the extreme northwestern states; elsewhere the changes have been slight. Rain has fallen in the upper lake region and on the South Atlantic coast and over the southern plateau region. Local rains are indicated for theslower Mis- sourt and Mississippi vaileys and for the upper lake region. The temperature will rise slightly in New England and the middie Atlantic states, and will fall in the upper Missouri and Mississtppi valleys. Good Records. There have been some pretty high points reached by the mercury within the past few days in different sections of thé country, but not in any section where it can affect us at all. Thus, at Yuma, that delightful re- sort in Arizona which ts said to have pi line connections with the infernal regions, they cre having a cool wave. That is to say, the maximum reached yesterday was only 103, which 1s comparatively cool for Yuma. But in the valleys of the Ohio and Mis- sourl, whence most of our hot waves come, there has been nothing worse than stu- tionary temperature to record, and in some laces the mercury has dropped several de- lightful degrees. Washington, by the way, is not so bad a summer resort, compara. tively speaking. As already stated, the temperature yesterday was a little over KG. At Nantucket, with all its famous sea breezes to keep it cool, exactly the same point was reached. But all the same, there are a good many people who are not at all sorry that the month of July went out like a lamb, for it made trouble enough for suf- fering humanity while it was he-e. From the standpcint of sustained heat, it was a red-hot success. The average of maximums for the month was 94.5, a record which has never been equaled before in this city. High Temperatures. ‘The weather report for the past week, {s- sued by the bureau late yesterday after- noon, is as follows: From the northern and central Rocky rrountain slopes eastward to the New Eng- land and middie Atlantic coasts the week ending July 30 has been warmer than usual, the temperature excess exceeding 3 degrees per day over nearly the whole of the region hamed, while from the central Missouri valley eastward to southern New England the average daily excess amounted to & degrees or more per day, the maximum ex- cess, 9 degrees per day, occurring over Iowa and southern Minnesota. This is the third successive week of ab- normally warm weather, attended by un- | usually high maximum temperatures over the northern districts east of the Rocky mountains. The warm wave which passed from the Missouri valley eastward to the middle Atlantic and New England coasts, from the 24th to the 28th, was attended on the last-named date by the highest maxi- mum temperatures ever recorded at some Stations in South Dakota, northern Iowa and in northern New England; Huron, 8. Dak., reporting 108 degrees; Omaha, Neb., Yankton, S. Dak., and Sioux City, Iowa, 106 degrees. In southern New England end southeastern New York temperatures as high, or higher, than any previously re- ported during the third decade of July oc- curred on the 28th; Eastport and Portland, Me., and Northfield, Vt., reporting highest that have ever cccurred in any month at those stations since their estab- lishment. In the southern states, and on the Pacific coast the week has been cooler than usual, the deficiency in temperature amounting to from 3 degrees to 4 degrees along the gulf coast, in south- ern California, over portions ‘of Idaho, Utah, Washington and Oregon, and in ex- treme western Texas. Precipitation, More than the usual amount of rain fell over portions of the South Atlantic and east gulf states, along the Immediate west gulf coast, and over portions of Missouri and Illinois. Elsewhere, with the exception of a few localities of limited extent, there has been less than the usual rainfall. Over portions of the upper Ohio, upper Missis- sippl, and upper Missouri valleys, and over the greater portion of Kansas and Nebras- ka little or no rain has fallen, and similar conditions are reported from portions of Arkansas, Texas and generally throughout the plateau region: General Remarks. The continued drought over the principal corn-producing states of the central val- leys and northwest has resulted in great damage to the corn crop. Very unfavorable reports as to the condition of this crop are received from South Dakota, lowa, Ne- braska, Minnesota, Missovri and Ukiahoma, and while less unfavorable reports come from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, the crop in those states is suffering greatly in the uplands. In the southern states corn is generally in excellent condition, and in Georgia the heaviest crop for many years is_ predicted. Reports as to cotton continue very fa- vorable, although some slight injury has resulted from excessive cloudiness and heavy local rains in portions of South Caro- lina and Florida. Tobacco is doing well in Tennessee, and in some portions of Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky, but reports from Ohio are un- favorable. Lig! ng Wanted. Notwithstanding the long continued heat with which we have been afflicted, the sum- mer so far has been remarkably free from electric storms. This is generally regretted, as there is a feeling that a good thunder storm has the effect of cooling the atmos- phere. But there are several young men in town whose regret is of a more personal nature, for they have been trying to make some snap shots at lightning for scientific purposes. At one of the corners of the roof of the weather bureau a ifttle frame structure hag recently been built as part of the equipment for a new work that is being undertaken by the bureau. This ts the more thorough and complete study of lightning and its various effects. Since the introduction of instan- taneous photography snap shots at electrical displays are not at all uncommon. Yet these have always had a material drawback so far as their value tn scientific research is concerned, inasmuch as they always repre- sent a flash of lightning being in one plane, whereas, In point of fact, it may be branching out Im all directions. Uke the plateau regions the | dining table should be banished—raw bread | roots or the branches of a tree. From pho- tographs of this sort it is impossible to make @ satisfactory study of any one flash. Mr. MeAdie of the weather bureau has been de- voting particular attention to this matter for som time past and has already achieved some valuable results. To still further in- crease the efficiency of the work he has ar- ranged an ingenious device, and this has already been put into effect. In this little house, on the roof, there is a pair of photographic cameras, suitable for picturing a flash 6f lightning. Stmilar in- struments are placed on the Cuplitol and across the river at Fort Myer, the former being in charge of Mr. Randolph and the latter of Mr. Potter. All three sets of in- struments are focused on the monument, which is near the center of the triangle made by the three points mentioned. The three observers have their watches regu- lated with each other, so as to give them the exact time. The result {s that any flash of Ughtning which occurs inside of the tri- angle or in its vicinity is photographed from three directions at one and the same time, and by a comparison of the three photo- graphs it is possible to get an exact idea of the flash In space and no longer as simply in one plane. Little Opportunity. The photographs. of course, have to be taken at night. In this way it will be pos- sible to study lightning as it never has beon yet, both in the matter of Its character and power, and it is expected that the work will result In the discovery of a great de. that will be of value to scientists, and also of practical use to everyday people who are more interested in warding off lightning than they are in studying Its components and eccentricities. Unfortunately for the work, there has rarely been a summer so free from electrical storms as the present, and a comparatively small nuniber of plates have been secured so far, but Mr. MeAdie has hopes of better results before the hot weather is over. Every night when there is @ possibility of a thunder storin the three observers take their stations, and great {s their disappointment en, as has so often happened lately, the expected storm fails to materialize. The Agricultural Department has recently issved a pamphlet by Mr. Me- Adie, avhich bids fair to be as popular as the famous book of the hi Tt is on the subject of lightning, and Iready in its third edition. Yesterday there were 187 ap- plications for the book, and its popularity is growing all the time. MOURNED BY M! Remains of W. H. Crossman Taken to Massuchuseits. The funeral services of the late Mr. W. H. Crossman, who died Monday evening at 1129 G street southeast, were held yesterday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Kent officiating, and later the remains were taken to Massachu- setts for interment. Mr. Crossman had been for ars a well-known resident of Washington, and had held several offices | under the local and eral government. He was in the board of eldermen under the mayoralty of M. G. Emery. Later he was deputy collector and assis the internal revenue. During the years he had been a great sufferer from rheumatism, and unable to perform any work. Mr. Crossman had a this city and was bf hly respected. He was born at West Bridgewater, Mass., May Iszl. Leeving home at the age of thir. teen, he worked in a nail factory. He w employed later as stati gent on the Oid Colony railroad, and in connection with ‘his service with the company engaged in the flour and grain trade.

Bread, wet inside, is not fit to eat, and no woman who values her good looks or the physical welfare of her family will serve it. Either have the bake thoroughly cooked or slice and toast it. Bread is largely starch, and that article, as everybody knows, is hard to dissolve. We put butter on rice and bread and gravy on potatoes to supply the deficiency of fat. It will be observed the cosmopolitan world over that people who eat to live are seldom bread eaters. The simple-minded housewife puts a heaping plate of fresh bread on the dinner table; the epicurean has one slice of stale bread or a crusty roll and only eats part of it, main- taining that bread takes away the flavor of his food. He never, never eats it with the soup or oysters, as their object is not nour- ishinent, but a stimulant to digestion. More bread is eaten with the cheese to bring out the bouquet in the Burgundy than at any other course.

Prince Bismarck arrived on Thursday evening at 9 o'clock at his ancestral seat of Schonhausen on his way from Friedrichs- ruh to Varzin. The prince today continues his journey via Berlin. A correspondent who saw him at Cehonhausen describes him as being rather weak. He stepped from his carriage with evident difficulty. Walking seems a task for him, and he moves very slowly, supporting himself on his cane. The prince ts not enjoying as good spirits as usual. Plans for the future—longer trips, improvements on his estate and so forth—he puts absolutely aside with the re- mark: “It 1s no good now.” ——_—+ e+ Didn't Have a Newspaper. From the Augusta (Me.)

NOT AMAN FLINCHED, EITHER —— ee When the Ammunition Gave Out the Command Surréndered. THE CAMP NEWS Apparently a frightful carnage occurred last evening on the well-known and usual- ly peaceful green lawns of Marshall Hall. Volleys were fired from rifles, flames burst forth from gun barrels, soldiers advanced and retreated, men fell to the ground, lit- ters were hurried by hospital stewards to all portions of the field and surgeons skill- fully tied and bandaged heads and limbs. "To a majority of the thousands of specta- tcrs who witnessed the affair but few anticipated such an exhibition. At the usual hour “adjutant’s call” sounded and the troops, attired in National Guard fa- tigue uniform, very peacefully entered the field and went through the ceremony of dress parade, in a far better manner than on any previous day during the encamp- ment. Then the colors were marched to the front and center, and the ten companies passed in review and left the field. So did many of the onlookers, Afier a walt of ten minutes, however, a battalion, under command of Maj. Sto made its appearance along the river ed of the drill field, Jooking very attractive, as each man wo! a white heimet. In obedience to a bugle command, the four nies formed battalion front and halt- t, Maj. Story threw out a line of ers, who began firing iato a clump of trees situated between the drill grouna and the camp. The firing was answered in a most energetic manner from behind then the entire battalion “ynder Maj. Story peured forth a volley, and a volley equally as loud was returned. The invisible ele- ment, which comprised the battalion under Maj.*Columbus, new put itseif into ocular evidence, and things became decidedly more interesting. A few sharpshcoters belonging to the army under Maj. Columbus skillful- ly worked themsely2s to a position in the rear of the white helmets and fired blank riridges at the enemy with avidity, but sirange to say no one succumbed the onslaught. A Heutenant, noticing the at- tack trom the rear, sent a score of men to put the sharpshooters to rout, but that end was net accomplished until one of the men belonging to Maj. Story’s forces had been very realistically taken prisoner by a daring and bullet-proof Columbusite,who appeared very warlixe, attired in a cam- paign hat and wearing’ no blouse. Dead ond Wounded.

The victorious army relieved the conquered of their arms and marched them priscners from the scene of the fray. Alleged broken heads and various other wounds were pro miscuous throughout the procession, which prove. very e‘fect from the vantage of the spectator. Long after the departure of the troops the alance corps was kept busy removing animate and inanimate bodies from the battlefield. Throughout the strife Major Suess, at- tended by Private Thuce of troop A, as orderly, and accompanied by Lieut. Mellach, all mounted, added much to the scene by galloping at full speed about the field. Aj- though the defeated army deserved to lose for appearing in full view before an enemy vrder cover, 1 it should have concealed itseif behind a n ment, the first sham battl y was a big suc- cess.

Guard mount was well sh perfect, and at {ts conclusion the com- panies drilled for an hour or more. After preakfast the entire command was crdered out for police duty, during which the entire quantity of rubbish and camp refuse was burned or otherwise destrcyed. Raising the Flag. As reported by cazrier pigeon in yester- day's Star, a flagpole was ezected in front of post headquarters shortly after 1 o'clock. ‘Two squads of men reported to Lieut. Mel- lach, who lined them up’ to the right of headquarters and in the rear of the flag- pole. Then the Heutenant reported the squad to Maj. Suess at “present arms.” The port staff was stationed near the tent, and the lawn was crowded with officers, enlisted men and visitors. The colors mounted the top of the pole, and Maj. Suess pulled the string and unfurled them to the breezes. ‘The same instant, by command of Lfeut. Mellach, a volley announced to the country around that the flag had been officially and ceremontously raised over Camp Blake. Three volleys were fired, the first to be heard in the camp. The first and second volleys were, followed b: of the drums, and the third by “colors” and “Star Spangled Banner” by the drum corps, the spectators standing with uncovered heads. Color Sergeant BH. E. Alger appeared with a platoon, which was halted immediately in front of headquarters tent, where the flag of the fifth battalion had been flying since the beginning of the encampment. Maj. Suess returned the salute of the color ser- geant, and directed him to deliver the flag to Capt. Columbus, at battalion headquar- ters. Then, turning to Capt. Columbus, the major said: “Captain, you ara intrusted with the flag that has never waved over a defeated army. Guard it as you would your life, and see that no act of yours or of the men under your command shail stain a sin- gle star or stripe.” To this Capt. Colum- bus replied: “Major, I feel proud in the trust of Old Glory. I receive the charge and will defend it with the truest blcod that ever flowed in a soldier's heart, and I am sure I voice the sentiment of my entire command when I say that the battalion will appreciate the honor conferred upon it.” That ended th2 ceremony. Among the Tents. Among the visitors at Maj. Suess’ head- quarters during the afternoon were Col. Cecil Clay, Maj. Geo. H. Harries, Adjt. cial surrender a man on. the right of the | needed to make | battle of | Peixotto, Capt. Bell, Gen. Joe Dickinson, Capt. W. N. Fisher and Capt. A. 8. King. They were taken on a tour of inspection about the camp. A large excursion party from Washington was on the grounds throughout the day and until late at night, and when off duty the boys had a good time in the dancing pavilion and otherwise. In compliance with an almost unanimous request the popular bread duff introdu¢ed the day previous was again served at sup- per yesterday. The article of Giet disap- peared as fast as it could be cooked. Maj. Harries and Col. Clay paid a lengthy visit to the rifle ranges and were highly pleased with their location and general construction. During the day Private G. E. Cook of the engineer corps again did the best work with the rifle. Firing was at the 500 and 600-vard ranges, the several scores being excellent. The perfect discipline that prevails at Camp Blake is one of the most noticeable features of the eneampment. The men take particular pains to salute all officers and to uncover in passing the colors. An amusing incident occurred upon the arrival of the afternoon boat yesterday. Three men, attired in the uniform of the ambulance corps, alighted from the steamer und refused to give their names to a gentry when directed to do so by the olticer of the guard.

Evicted Tenants Bin to Be Pashead Through the Houxe of Commons, In the English house of commons yester- day Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, moved the closure of the debate of the evicted terants bill,, and to apply the guillotire to certain sections in order that the business of the session might be finished by Avgust 9. Mr. Balfour pro- tested against what he classed as “unpre- codented gagging,”and moved as an amend- ment that the house Tegretted the adoption of methods which deprived the minority | of its just rights. | .Phe ‘motion and the amendment caused high feeling in the lobbies of the house. The Irish members were not pleased, as they expressed a fear that the course pur- | sued by the government would furnish the | lords with a reason to reject the bill. Mr. Morley and Mr. Goschen also took part in | the discussion ‘and Mr. Balfour and Mr. | Chamberlain threatened to relinquish dis- cussion if the closure was ordered. Mr. Batfour" amendment was eventually re- jected by a vote of 217 to 174, whereupon | Messrs. ‘Chamberlain, Balfour, Saunderson and others left the house, thus giving warn- }ing that they would not take part in a | division on Sir William Harcourts motion for closure. Much surprise was caused | when the motion was agreed to without \ a division. RECE! oe ED INTO THE ARMY, | Ceremony of Baptism as Performed | Mra, Rallington Rooth, The Salvation Army has been holding interstate meetings in Prohibition Park, Staten Ieland. Suaday evening the dedica- tion of Adjt. and Mrs, Sammons’ little daughter, Florence Maud, brought out an pnusually large number of badge-wear- \ing or scarlet guernsey-clad and “poke” | bonneted soldiers. Two adjutants held up “Ola Glory," and Mrs. Ballington Booth | took her position in front of it with Mrs. Sammons holding the “wee lassie” on one side of her and the adjutant on the other. Mrs. Ballington Booth turned to the father of the child with the questions: “Are you willing to give this child for the cause and the service of Jesus Christ? Do you promise to so live as to furnish an ex- ample of Christian grace, and to keep from the child in dress and in {ts home all that will tend to lead it astray? Do you promise this before God and beneath the flag?" Then turning to the mother, Mrs. Booth continued: “Are you willing that your child should tread a thorny path, should suffer cpposition, and, i: need be, persecution vito death for Christ's sake?" Upon receiving the affirmation of the ents Mrs. Booth took the baby, which was dressed in white, with a broad red sash across its breast, bearing the inscription: “For the War,” and holding it close to her bosom, sakd: “Florence Maud, I baptize thee in the rame of God the Father, God the Son and | God the Holy Ghost, and in the name of the general of the army I dedicate thee to the | cavse of God and seceive thee into the ‘s. Booth then prayed for a blessing on the babe and its parents, after which Commander Booth called for cheers for the babe, its parents and army, and Mrs. Booth held up the wee Salvationist, who cooed and linked at the audience in the most_know- ing manner, while the women joined in an audible murmur of admiration. coe men in China, *. ally a wife terribly, and many girls prefer to marriage the shel- ter of a Buddhist nunnery. Eight girs, in 1873, drowned themselves rather than mar- ry. Sometimes they, like the daughters of Danaus and the Bride of Lamrermoor, prefer to kill their young men. But, as a matter of fact, these cases seem to be the exception and in novels married people live even rapturously together. This is the ideal. Fond wives slay themselves rather than survive their lords. In poor districts girls are drowned as “bouches inutiles.” Just as we see that “No Advertisements” are.to be stuck up on a given wall, so by a Chinese pond you may see a notice board: “Girls not to be drowned here.” In Pekin there is practi- cally no infanticide. On a rock in Hong Kong harbor a great many dead children and one poor dying infant were discovered two or three years ago. Poverty, of course, is the cause of these abominations. SaaS Si Cold Storage Cats. From the Philadelphia Record. The adaptability of rats and cats to all diversities of climate is exemplified by their presence and activity in the coid-storage warehouses of this city, where the tempera- ture is never above 30 degrees. Strangely enough, their acclimation has been attend- ed by marked changes in their appearance. The first rats which attempted to earn their subsistence tn one of the Delaware ave- nue warehouses were unable to stand the exposure and died. However, an unusually hardy colony stuck to it, and their progeny are now provided with wonderfully long and thick hatr, even their long tails being covered with fur. They have developed into fat old rascals, and the cats which were introduced to thin their ranks have also been specially equipped through nature's bounty. The cats have developed very close, thick fur, and their whiskers have grown to a length of six inches, probably because the darkness makes the use of their feelers much more important. —— see The Best Oranges. From the St. Louts Post-Dispatch, Big oranges are not good. They are all skin and fiber. If you want “a yellow cup of wine” buy small fruit; that fs, fruft that runs 175 or 200 to the box. Weigh it in the hand and take the heaviest. Sweet, sound oranges are full of wine and sugar and very heavy. A thin, smooth skin is a good sign. Wide, deep-pored skins are unmi: takable signs of a coarse, spongy article. Bright yellow oranges usually cost more than russets, because they are prettier. When the commission merchant buys in @ hurry he saves time by taking an orange between his hands and squeezing it to death. Jt it runs a cup of wine he takes as much of the cargo as he needs; if it runs dry he cuts the price or refuses to trade. There is no surer way to tell the real value of an orange, mandarin or grape fruit. INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS, AMUSEMENTS , ‘Page 10 ATTORNEYS -Page 5 AUCTION SALBS. BOARDING ...

PweerrrrTrerrrr iret rere er ee eee ee Ts i l IN HOTEL CORRIDORS “The old style of crinoline that jumped into feminine favor again a year or two ago has been the means of resurrecting another once popular fashion from the grave of dis- use in England, at any rate,” sald M. KR. Hubbard of Atlanta at the Ebbitt last night. “I have just returned from a visit to the old country, and while in London 1 was struck by the number of women in the best society who were wearing their nair in the old waterfall style. They wore the once familiar net to keep the hair in place also, and from the class of the fair ones who were arranging their back tresses in this way, I have no doubt the renais- sance of the waterfall, with ail of its possi- bilities for hideous ugliness, will soon be heralded on this side of the water.” ‘The divining red is associated in the minds of many with the mad stone and similar articles supposed to be gifted with supernatural qualities, and those who be- lieve in the efficacy of any of them for the purposes-they are alleged to be intended for are set down as densely ignorant and correspondingly superstivious,” sald 8. R. Philips of Geneva, N. Y¥., at the National last night. “I suppose I will lay myself opea to the charge of being both when I | say that I saw a divining rod worked re- cently with successful results. A farmer | named Harris, living on the edge of the Cattauraugus reservation, had sunk several wells on his property for the purpose of getting a water supply, but without success, A man named Quackenbosh, who was em- ployed as foreman by Harris, said that he had learned how to use a divining rod in former years, and that if Harris would pay the expenses ne would go to Beaver Falls, Pa., where he knew there was such a rod, w bring it back. Harris agreed and the man made the trip. The wonderful affair was nothing more than a twig of hazel wood about twelve inches long, with two smail branches at the larger end cut off about two inches from the stick itself. Quackenbosh took these two small ends between the forefinger and thumb of either hand and started over to Harris’ place. When he reached a small hillside near the house the twig, which had been held in a horizontal position, bent down toward the earth. Again and again the little wand did the same thing, although it secmed preposterous to think of getting water in such a place. A well was immediately ccmmenced on the spot, and water in pro- fusion was struck at a depth of twenty- seven feet. All the persons living tn the vicinity of the Harris place are familiar with the facts as 1 have stated them, and water is said to have been discovered on several other places in the same manne: “What surprises me most in America ts the small salaries paid to the bench and the legal officers of the goverrment,” said James Arnold Gray, a lawyer from Manchester, England, at Wormicy’s yesterday. “Indeed, it is quite incomprehensible to me how your government, which believes so much in the ability of young men, can secure the ser- vices of really able lawyers in the prime of life at the miserable salaries paid. Your Attorney General, I understand, receives $8,000 per annum. The income of the British attorney general is not less than $60,000 a year. The lord chancellor of England re- ceives as much salary as the President of the United States, and the lord chief justice is given only $10,000 less, or $40,000 a year, for his services. The lords of appeals re- ceive $30,000 a year each, while all other judges are paid $25,000. With such salaries it is possible for our government to avail Itself of a high character of legal services, and I cannot understand why the United States does not pursue the same generous yet altogether sensible poilcy.”” “The papers have been poking lots of fun at Gov. O’Ferrall and his oyster navy,” said Cc. A. Puryear of Richmond at Willard’s this morning. The pronunciamentos of the governor on the subject of the piratical Marylanders who overran the waters of Tangter and Pocomoke in search of oysters and crabs have been the source of no end of amusement to paragraphers and other wits, but the facts are that the governor is a good deal more serious than many people imagine, and those who know him best feel pretty well assured that he is going to carry out to the letter every declaration he has made fn connection with this subject. The Accomac, which is about the best boat in the Virginia oyster navy, was fitted up when the recent trouble began, and her equipment improved by the addition of a Hotchkiss gun. Capt. Hudgkins, the commander of the Virginia oyster navy, was aboard the Accomac one day not long ago and discov- ered some Maryland crabbers working in Pocomoke sound, inside the Virginia line. Hudgkins opened fire on them with the Hotchkiss gun, which was loaded with shell, and the trespassers skipped out in a hurry. It was something uncommon for them to have pieces of iron falling all around them from a boat about two miles away, and great commotion has been created at Cris- field, Md., which is the rendezvous of the crabbers, over the new danger that awaits them in Virginian waters.” “There is something like a counterpart of the miraculous shrine at Lourdes in the church of Le Eonne Ste Anne, or the Good Saint Ann, near Quebec,” said James Scott of Toronto at the Riggs House last night. “The anniversary of this saint is July 26, and last week hundreds of pilgrims flocked to the place for the purpose of either view- ing the miracles which were expected to be wrought there,or of seeking evidences of the wonderful power in their own behalf. The belief of the faithful in the cures performed by the spiritual efforts of the good Saint Ann is si:nply perfect. A relic of the saint is expesed, and consists of her wrist bone, which was presented to the church by Pope Leo two or three years ago. Several cripples were reported to have been miracu- lously cured at the shrine last week and Cardinal Taschereau was present, while many other important Catholic dignitaries # Caneda and the centiguous parts of the nited States were also there. The several cures reported appeared to be fairly well authenticated, I understand, but there were hundreds of cases uncured where one was alleged to be relicved, and the pointment of these poor faithful sufferers at not securing relief must make their bodily ailments seem a thousand times worse.” FINANCIAL.

Senator Butler Holds There was an exciting Scene on the last night from Union, 8. c., to raecbens burg, when United States Senator Butler denounced Gov.

At the campaign meeting at Union yesterday the governor denounced Butler because of an article published the day before purport- ing to be a part of the Senator's specch at Lawrens. This article attacked Tillman's administration of the dispensary system, Butler had furnished copies to the reporte ers before the meeting, but did not use what the copies said in his speech.
