8 SHOCKING CATASTROPHE IN BROOKLYN, A Family Cut Of frem Escape in a Burn- ing Building—They Adopt the Alter- native of Jumping frem a Four.h Story Window and are Killed— Interesting Testimony Eli- cited by the Fire Marshal. ‘fhe Furman street catastrophe was the leading topic of conversation on ll sides in Brooklyn yes- terday, and furnished another chapter to tke series of fatal occurrences which already mark the bulld- ings Nos. 93.and 95on that street, The occurrence in question is one of @ peculiar and fearful nature, javolving as it does the lives of three human Deings—a father, son and mother, The victims were Thomas Wallace, a sober, steady and indus- trlous workman; bis wife, Ann Wallace, and their child, Thomas, a boy of five ye: This family lived in a four story brick building, No. 93 Furman street, situated at the foot of Orange street, Just at the base of the Heiguts. The building, together with No. 95, was occupied by Messrs, Anderson, Douglas & Pierce as a whice lead manufactory; and Wallace, who had been in the employ of this firm for eighteen months past, occupied @ room on the upper floor, where he had lived so quietly with his family that the officer who patrols that plot was not aware of the fact that anybody restded there. Some time daring Friday night or early yesterday morning a fire broke out in the second or third story of tie building, and the confagration burned slowly until it gaiued such headway as to awaken the unfortunate occupants of the upper story. The supposition is that the smoke was so dense in the room, and the stairs, the only avenue of escape, being on tire, the fearful alternative of jumping irom the window was alone presented. The poor people, &m their desperation, after calling for help, which does not appear to have been forthcoming with any _ degree of promptitude, took the awful leap to’the sidewalk. The height from the laster to the fourth story Window Is forty feet. Wailace, striking on his bead, was killed instantly. The boy was fatally in- Jured, his head being crushed at the side and several bones broken. He was removed to the Washington street station house, where Dr. Cochran, the police surgeon, attended him, but the lite sufferer breathed his last a short time after his arrival there, Mrs. Wallace sustained a frac- ture of the skull, and both ,legs and severai ribs are broken. She was removed to tne City Hospital, where she now lies in a hopeless condition. THE ALARM OF FIRE ‘was given first by a patrolman of the Forty-second precinct, who repaired to the station house corner of Jay and York streets, whence the fire was telegraphed to Police Headquarters at 6:20 A. M., and from the Ceatral OMce to the City Fall bell lower, when the Fire Department was notifiea. It was, therefore, nearly haif an hour from the time that the fre was first seen by Mr. Bower, whose ‘testimony 1s given below, before the apparatus arrived on the scene of action. Tae loss sustained by Messrs. Anderson, Douglas & Pierce on stock 1s $16,000, and on machinery $10,000, all of which 1s covered by Insurance, THE ILL-STARRED BUILDINGS are covered with brick arched roofs, on the top of Which rests from two to four feet of earth, which, unl a recent date, was cultivated as a gaiden. ‘Lhere is no scutt €or any means of egress througa the roof, nor 1s the Louse supplied with a fire escape, ‘These structures have bad record, and for years past it has been remarked oy their former owuer that more deatas and casualties have occurred in them than anywhere else in the neighborhood. Several years ago, during a visitacion of the cholera, that disease carried away a number of persons who lived on the premises, Next a workman was scalded to death by the accidental upsetting of a kettle of glue upon him. in the month of April, 1805, aire oroke out tere and five tiremen, wno were Standing on the “garden roof,” were carried into the yawning guiph created by the walis giving way, and burned or crushed ty death. Anotier fireman, Who was injured at this time, died of his «njuries several Monts later, Subsequeutiy three workmen epgaged in rebuliding tne structure were killed by tue Walls falling on them, and yesterday two, pro- baviy three, Victims were added to the number of Duman beings brought to sudden death on these premises. The stores along this street are used for manuwacturing purposes, aud 1a the pbuilding adjoin- mg that in which the fire occurred a large number Of young people are employed as operatives. The galely Of these people 1s endangered owing to the failure of the authorities to enforce the Laws for the protection of life in case of tire. THE INVESTIGATION. Assistant Fire Marshal P. Keady was early on the Scene and imstituted an oficial inquiry on the sub- ject. At the examination held by him the following important and interesting facts were elicited:— TESTIMONY OF JACOB BOWER.

Tbe inquesis will ve held ou Aionday next, BROOKLYN CITY. THE COURTS. UNITED STATES CDRIMISSIONER’S COURT. The Staten Island Counterfeiting Case. Before Commisstoner Jones. William L. Kempton, one of the parties arrested at Staten Island and charged with printing counter- feit forged stamps, was taken before Commissioner Jones yesterday atternoon and the examination was concluded, The Commissioner reviewed the evi- dence, and stated that while some of the testimony was irrelevant there was suiticient to hold the ac- cused. This machine was bought by a man giving his name as Kempton, and that this macaine was found in the house occupied oy Rippon and m which Kempton lived, There were aiso other mate- rials found there for the purpose of carrying on the business of counterteiting, The fact of this maciine being found in his possession and having been pur- chased bya man giving his name as Kempton, coupled with his coulessiva, was probable cause for belief that he was concerued in the printing of these stamps. The Commissioner thougat the officers were justified in making the arrest and bringing the materials into court as evi- dence. He thougit Kempton should take bis .chance beiore the Grand Jury. He should, therefore, hold him to await the action of the Grand Jury. The counsel forthe prisoner asked that the atnount of bail be fixed, but the Commissioner de- clined todo so until the counsel haa procured it. He did not look upon the prisoner, however, as being a very important party in this case, but thought he had been made a victim by other parties, BROOKLYN REVENUE RETURNS.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.—An attompt was made atan early hour yesterday, by some vaknown man, fo take the life of Mr. Charties Mentrap, who keeps @ grocery at the corner of Carlton and = Fulton avenues, Brooklyn. At about in the morning Mr. Mentrap went out to his stable, which is oo Cariton avenue, near his house, for the purpose of harnessing tis borse, as he was about to go to New Nork. Healing a noise in the #1 he jit @ match, but the moment he did 80 he reccived a blow on tie neck witha knile, A Second lunge was made ab him bejore he couid reoover himself, and this time the would-be assassin inflicted a wound on his shoulder, cutting ® large hole through two coals, ‘The seliow they made his escape. Mr. Mentrap’s wounds were dressed by a neighboring physician, and though serious, are not considered of @ fatal charac- ter, Mr. Mentrap is under the impression that the Who stabbed him was a ar WhO broken into hig stable for the purpose of stealing ni horse or harness, Otbers, however, are of the opin- ton that the vllain who committed the crime was one Who had.an enmity against him. THE NASSAU_WATER. WORKS. The Nassan Water Works Board, of Brooklyn, have recently completed a survey of about a dozen mill ponds on the south side of Long Island, with a view of increasing the city supply. The eight reser- voirs now constructed can yield but 20,000,000 gal- lons daily, which was thought, some years ago, when the works were bullt, to be all that would be needed within the succeeding forty years. The increase of Brooklyn has, however, been 80 great that the consumption 13 already 17,000,000, and steps are taking to provide for future needs without delay. ‘The reservoirs now 1n use are those of Mount Pros- ect, Ridgewood, Jamaica, Brookfield, Clear Stream, Valiey Stream, Rockville and Hempstead. Besides these the company possess six large inill ponds, named as follows:—One Mile Pond, near Jamaica; Spring@eid Pona, Cornell’s and Conselyea’s Ponds, near Springfield; Watts’ Pond, at Valley Stream, and Smith’s Pond, at Rockville Centre. These sheets of water, with half a dozen private ponds con- tiguous to them, have now been finished, and, early inthe spring, those owned by the company may be cleaned out and formed into reservoirs, While the others may be purchased for future contingenctes, It is proposed, instead of creating the above new reservoirs, to construct one on a gigantic scale; but the latter plan would be by far the most expensive. “THE VOTE FOR SHERIFG, The ofMfictal canvass of the vote sor Sheriff, which was completed yesterday, 1s as follows: Cuningham, democrat. Walters, republican.. Waltera’ majority: AFRICA. Dr. Livingstone’s Report On His Explo- rations and the Sources of the Nile—The Problem “‘Now Solved.” [From the London Post, Nov. 9.) The opening meeting of the session of the Royal Geographical Socicty was held last evening in the Theatre of the Royal Institution, Albemarie street, Sir R. Murchison, the president, in the chair. There was a crowded and fashionable attendance. ‘The Count de Paris, the Duke of Wellington, Sir Bartle Frére and Mr. Crawford, M. P., were among those present. ‘The PRESIDENT, in his address, said:—The two ob- jects which most occupied our thoughts when the previous session closed, and on which I dwelt in my last anniversary address, are now, I rejoice to say, in the way of being satisfactorily carried out. Our illustrious associate Livingstone, whose life has been despaired of by the multitude, but whose reappearance ee us, as you know, I never douoted, will, trust, pang. us ere iong the first &ccount of @ region of Southern Africa never previously visited by a European; and thus, by actual observation, Will have set at rest all theoretical speculations respecting the hydro- graphy of that vast portion of Africa lying to the horth of those territories waterea by tue Zambesl which he bad previously made his own. | ‘The PRESIDENT mentioned that as he was entering the room he received a private letter from Dr. Liv- lugstoue. It extended over twelve pages, closely writien, and was of a private nature. Whatever it contained of public interest would be made public at the earliest moment, i Tue PRESIDENT then requested the secretary to read the despatch which had been received by the Secretary for Foreign Aifairs from Dr. Livingstone. | ‘The SECRETARY then read the despatch, which wi as follows:— Near LAKE BANGWEOLO, t SovrTn CENTRAL AFRICA, July, 18¢8, My Lorp—When I bad the honor of writing to you in February, 1867, 1 nad the impression tnat I was tuen on the watershed between the Zampesi and either the C8ngo or the Nile. More extended observation has since convinced me of the essential correctness of that impression; and from what I have seen, together with what I have iearned from intelligent natives, I think that I may safeiy assert that the chief sources of the Nile arise between 10 deg. and 12 deg. south latitude, ory nearly i the position assigned tovbem by Ptolemy, whose river Rhapta is probably the Rovuma. Aware that others have been mistaken and laying no clain to Infallibiiiiy, 1 do not yet speak very positively, par- ticularly of the parts west and northwest of angan- yika, because vbese have not yet come under my ob- servation; but if your Lordship will read the following short sketch of my discoveries you will perceive that the springs of the Nile have hitherto been searched for very much too far to the north. They rise some 400 mules soutn of the most southerly portion of the Victoria Nyanza, ana indeed south of all the lakes except Bangweoio. Leaving te valley of the Loangwa, which enters the Zamoest at Zumbo, we climbed up: what seemed to be a great mountaia mass, but it turned out to be only the southern edge of an elevated region, which is from 3,000 to 6,000 feet above the level of the sea. This upland may roughly be said to cover A space south of Lake Tan- g@anyika of some 360 miles square. It is generally covered with dense or open forest, has an undulat- ing, sometimes hilly, surface, a rich soil, 18 well watered by numerous rivulets and, for Africa, is cold. it slopes toward the north ana west, but 1 have fouad no part of it under 3,000 feet of alti- tude. ‘The country of Usango, situated east of the space indicated, 18 also an upland, and affords asturage to the immense nerds of cattle of the Bassango, @ remarkably light-colored race, very friendly to strangers. Usango forms the eastern’ side of a great bul sill elevated valley. The other or western side 18 tormed by what are called the Kone Mouatains, beyond the copper mines of Katanga. Stull further west, and beyond the Kone range or plateau, our old acquaintance the Zambezi, under the name Jambajl, 18 said to rise. The south- ern end of the great valley enciosed between Usango and the Kone range is between 11 deg. and 12 deg. south. It was rarely possible there to sce a star, but accidentaliy awaking oue morning between two and three o’clock, Ifound’one which showed lati- tude 11 deg. 66 min. souvh, ands we were then fairly on the upland. Next day we passed two rivulets running north. As we advanced, brooks evidently perennial became numerous. Some went eastward to fall into the Loangwa; others went northwest to join the river Chanineze. Musied by a map calling tiJs river in an offhand manner “Zam- bezi, eastern branch,” I took it to be the southern river of that name; but the Chambeze, with all its branches, tlows irom the eastern side into the centre of the great upland valiey mentioned, which is pro- bably the valley of the Nile. It is an interesting river, as helping to form three lakes, and changing its name three times In the 600 or 6v0 miles of its course. It was first crossed by the Portuguese, who always inquired for ivory and slaves, and neard of nothing else. A person who coliected atl, even the hearsay, geography of the Portuguese, knew so little actualy of the country that he put a large river here running 3,000 feet uphill, and cailed it the New Zajabezi. I crossed the Chambeze in 10 deg. 34 m. south and several of its confluents south and north autte as large as the Isis at Oxford, but ruuning faster and faving hippopotamt in them. I meation these anl- mals because in navigating the Zambezt 1 could always steer the steamer boldly to where they lay, sure of fluding not less than eight feet of water. The Chambeze runs into Lake Bangweolo, and on coming out of it assumes the name of Luapula. The Lua- pula flows down north past the town o1 Cazembe, and twelve miles below it enters Lake Moero, On leaving Moero at its northern end by a rent in the mountains of Kua, it takes the name Lualaba, and passing on N.N.W. forms Ulenge In the country west of fanganyika. I have seen 1 only where it leaves Moero and where it comes out of the crack in the mountains of Kua, but am quite satistied that even before it receives the river Sofunso from Marungu, and the Soburi from the Baioba country, tt 1s quite suiicient to form Ulenge, whether that is a lake with many islands, a8 some assert, or a sort of Panjab, a division into several branclies as 1s maintained by others. ‘These branches are all gathered up by the Lufira, @ large river which by Many contluents drains the western side of the great Valley. Ihave not seen the Lufira, but pointed out West of eleven degrees south, it 1s there asserted always to require canoes, This is purely native infor- mation. Some intelligent men assert that whe Lufira takes up the water of Ulenge, it lows north northwest into Lake Chowambe, wuicn I conjecture to be that discovered by Mr. Baker, Others think that it goes into Lake Tanganyika at Uvira, anc still passes northward into Chowambe by a river named Loanda, These are the parts regarding which I suspend m: judgment. If 1am in error there and Jive throug y | shall correct myself. My opinion at present is, 1 the large amount of water I lave scen going north does not How past Tanganyika oa the west, 1b must have an exit from the lake, and in all likelihood by the Loanda. Looking back again to the upiaud it Is well divided into districts, Lovisa, Lobemba, Obenga, Itawa, I «, Kabuire, Marunga, Lunda, or Loada, and Rua: the people are known by the int- Lal “a” instead of the imitial Lo or U for country. The Arabs solten Ba into Wa, in accordaace with their Suahelt dialect; the natives never do. On the horthern slope of the upland, on the 2d April, 1867, I discovered Lake Liewba; it les in a hollow Wilh precipitous sides 2,000 feet down; it is ex- tremely Otlul, sides, top and bottom being cov- cred with trees and other vegetation. Elephants, buifaioes and antelopes feed on tue sleep #lopes, While bippopotwint, crocodiles and fish swarm in the Wwalers, “uns being unknown the ciephants, unless sometimes deceived into a pitfall, bave it all thelr own Way, it 18 a# perfect a natural para- dise@ as Xenophon eould have desired, On two rocky islands men till the jJand, rear gouts and caicn fish; the villages ashore are emvowered in the palin ot palms” of the West Coase of Africa. | Four considerable sireams fow into Liemba, and a number Of brooks (seottice “srout buras”), frou twelve to filtecn feet broad, leap down the steep, bright red clay schist rocks and form splendid cas- cades that made the dullest of my attendants pausa and rewark wilh wonder, 1 measured ong its confluence, and found feet, say 100 yards, broad, thigh and waist deep, and flowing fast over hardened sandstone flag ) September—the last rain had fallen on the 12th of ay. Elsewhere the Lofu requires canoes. The Lonzua drives a lange body ot smooth water into Liemba, bearing on its surface duck weed and grassy islands; this of water was ten fathoms deep. Another of the four streams 1s said to be larger than the Lofu, but an over-officions headman prevented my seeing more of it and another than their mouths. The lake 1s not large, from eighteen to twenty miles broad add from thirty-five to forty long. It goes of north-northwest in a river-like prolongation two miles wide, it 1s said, to Tanganyika, I would have set it down as an arm of that lake but that its surface 18 2,800 feet above the level of- the sea, While Speke makes it 1,844 feet only. I tried to follow the river-luke portion, but was prevented by a war which had broken out between the chief of Ttawa and a party of ivory traders of Zanzihar. I then set off to go 150 miles south, then west, till past the disturbed district, and explore the west of Tan- ganyika, but on going eighty miles I found the Arab party, showed them etter from the Sultan of Zanzibar, which I owe the kind offices of hia Excellency Sir Bartle Frere, Governor of Bombay, and was at once supplied with provisions, cloth and beaas; they showed the greatest kindness and anxiety for my safety and success. The heads of the party readily perceived that a continuance of hostilities meant shutting up the ivory market, but the peace making was a tedious process, requiring three months and a half, I was glad to see the mode of ivory and slave trading of these men, it formed such @ periect contrast to that of the ruMans from Kilwa, and to the ways of the atrocious Portuguese from Zette, who were connived at in their murdera by the Governors d’Almeida, After peace was made I visited Nisama, the chief of Itawa, and having left the Arabs went on to Lake. Moero, which L reached on September 8, 1867. In. the northern part Moero is from twenty to thirty-' three miles broad. Further south 1b is at least’ sixty miles wide and it 1s fifty miles long. Ranges of tree-covered mountains flank it on both sides, but at the broad part the western mountains dwin- dle out of sight. Passing up the eastern side of Mo- ero we came to Cazembe, whose predecessors have been three times assisted by Portuguese. His town stands on the northeast bank of the lakelet Mofwe. ‘This ts from two to three miles broad and nearly four long. It has several low, reedy islets, and yields plenty of fish—a species of perch. It is not connected with either the Luapula or Moero, 1 was forty days at Cazembe’s, and might then have gone on to Bang- weolo, which 1s larger than either of the other lakes; but the rains had set in, and this lake was reported to be very unhealthy. Not baving a grain of any Kind of medicine, and as fever, without treat- ment produced vor disagreeable symptoms, 1 thought that it would be unwise to veuture where swelled thyroid gland, known as Derbyshire neck, and elephantiasts (scrotl) prevail. I then went north for Ujiji, where ve good and I _ hope letters, for I have nh nothing from the world for more than two yeai but when I got within thirteen days of Tanganyiki I was brought to 8 standstill by the superabund: ance of water in the country in front. A native party came through and described the country as inundated, so ag often to be nigh and waist deep, with sleeping places difficultto find. This flood lasts till May or June. At last I became so tired of inac- tivity that I doubled back on my course to Cazembe. To give an idea of the inundation which, in a small way, enacts the part of the Nile lower down, I nad to cross two rivulets which flow into the north end of the Moero; one was thirty, the other forty yards broad, crossed by bridges. ‘One had @ quarter, the other half a mile of flood on each side, Moreover, one, the Luo, had covered a plain abreast of Moero, s0 that the water on a great part reached from the knees to the upper part of the chest. The plain was of black mud, with grass higher than our heads, We had to follow the path which, in places, the feet of passengers had worn into deep Tuts. Into these we every now and then plunged and fell over the ancles in soft mud, while hundreds of bubbles rushed up and, bursting, emitted a fright- tul odor. We had four hours of this wading and plunging—the last mile was the worst; and Tight glad we were to get out of it and bathe in the clear tepid waters and sandy beach of Moero, In going up the bank of the lake, we first of all forded four torrents, thigh deep; then a river eighty yards wide and 300 yards of flood on its west bank, 8o deep we had to keep to the canoes till within fifty yards of the higher ground; then four brooks, from five to fifteen yards broad. One of these, the Chungu, possesses a somewhat mel- ancholy interest as that on which poor Dr, Lacerda died. He was the only Portuguese visitor who had any scientific education, and his latitude of Ca- zembe’s Town on the Chungu being fifty miles. wrong probably reveals that his mind was clouded with fever when he last observed, and any one who knows what that implies will look on his error with compassion, The Chungu went high on the chest, and one had to walk on tiptoe to avoid swim- ming. As 1 crossed all these brooks at high and low water I observed the difference to be from fifteen to eighteen inches, and from all the perennial streams the flood is @ clear water. The state of the rivers and country made me go in the very lightest march- ing order—took nothing but the most necessary in- struments and no paper except a couple of note books and the Bible. On boone gegen Qnding a party going to the coast, I borrowed a piece of paper from an Arab, and the defects—unavoildabie in the circum- atances—vyou will kindly excuse. Only one of my attendants would come here; the others, on various pretences, absconded. The fact is, they are ail tired of this everlasting tramping, and so verily am I, Were it not for an inveterate dislike to give in to difficulties, without doing my utmost to overcome them, I woula abscond too, Icomfort myself with the hope that by makmg the country and people better known I am doing good; ana by imparting a little knowledge occasionally 1 be working in accordance with the plans of an all-embracing vidence, Iwas in the habit of sending my observations to the Cape Observatory, where Sir 1, Maclean, the Astronomer Royal, and the assistant astronomer, Mr. Mann, bestowed a great deal of gratuitous at- tention on them in addition to the regular duties of the observatory, They tested their accuracy in a variety of Ways, Which those only who are versed in the higher mathematics can understand or appreci- ate. Tne late Earl of Ellesmere publicly sald of a 3n- gle sheet of these most carefully tested geographical Positions, that they contained more Beography than many large volumes. While the mass of true obser- vations which went to the Royal Observatory at the Cape required much time for caiculation, | worked out @ number in a rough way, leaving out many minute corrections, such as for tie height ot the thermometer and barometer, the horizontal parallax and semi-diameter of planets, using but one moon’s semi-diameter and horizontal parallax for a set of distances, though of several hours’ curation; cor- rections for the differences of proportional logarthis- ing, &c., and with these confessedly unperiect lon- gitudes made and sent nome sketch maps to give general ideas of the countries explored. ‘They were impertect, ag calculated and made im the contusion of the multitude of matters that crowd on the mind of an explorer, but infinitely better than many of the Published maps, SirT. Maclean, for instance, says that short of @ trigonometric survey no river hag been laid down so accurately as the Zambezi; and Mr. Mann, after most careful examination of the series of chronometric observations which more than once ran from the Sea of Zette up to Lake Ny any error in the longitude cannot possiply amount to four minutes. Weil, after ull my care and risk of health and even of life, it 13 not very inspiring to find 200 miles of lake tacked on to the northwest end of Nyassa—and these 200 miles percned up on tue upland region and passed over some 3,000 Te t higher than the rest of the lakes. e shall probably hear that the author of this feat in tancography claims therefrom to be considered 3 theoretical discoverer of the sources of the Nile. My imperfect longitudes and sketches led some to dese- crate the perfect ones from the observatory. This crolung @ito in angela was fixed by seven sets of lunar distances, that 18, at least sixty-three distances between the moon and stars, and probably 100 alu- tudes of sun or stars all made in risk of and sometimes actually suffering from African fever. Six sets showed from one to three minutes on each side of longitude 14 degrees east, but the sev- enth showed a few minutes to the west, The atx were thrown aside and the seventh adopted, because @ Portuguese said to me that he thought that spot night be about midway between Ambaca and the sea.’ Ambaca he had never seen, and the folly of intermeddimg 13 apparent from the change not making the spot perceptlbly nearer the imaginary midway, and no one had ever observed them betore, nor 1n our day will observe again. Other freaks, and one specially immoral, were performed, and to my gentle remonstrances it received only a giggle. The desecration my post- tionr have suffered 18 probably unknown to the council, but there is ail the more reason why I should adhere to my resolution to be the guardian of my own observations till publication, I regret this, be- cause the upsetting of the canoe, or anything hap- pening to me, migut lead to the entire loss of the discoveries, My borrowed paper 1s done, or I should have given a summary of the streams which, flowing into Chainbeze, Luapula, Lualaba and the lakes, may be called sewers.

The PRESIDENT Observed, In reference to the labors of Ur, Livingstone, ay sketched in the de- spatch just read, that he could not conceive herowm of @ more perfect kind than tat displayed by his Allustrioua iriend. (Loud applause.) Sir BARTLE PRERE Was called on by the president and stated that he had aiso 1ecetved a letter that day from Dr. Livingstone. it was written under the impression that he was still in India, and wich the evident desire to diminish the risk of the informa. ton he had lo communteate being lost. The in+ formation was similar to that which had just been laid before the meeting, and there were allusions (o meibers of his family, of whom he had not heard for over two years, The following extract of a letter from Dr, Kirk was then read :— ZANZIBAR, Sept. 7, 1860. To C, Gowxn, Secretary to the Governor er Bombay: Sik—The chief polut of geograpuical interest in NOVEMBER 21, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET Dr. Livingstone 1s the state- | after a lingering illness, Mary J, Do ment that sources of the Nile to be found in the lakes ana rivers tnat drain whe ing 00 thesouth'of Tanganyinas betwen tel and ig to th of Tan; wee! twelve di of" sont latitude, The town of Cazembe, m which Dr. Livingstone’s previous letters were dated, has been already visited and described by the Portuguese missions. It ts situated on the shores of one of a chain of lakes and rivers that flow northward. The Chambeze, having col- lected by many streams the waters of the north- ern siope of the damp elevated plains, flows to jon Lake Bangweolo. This, again, is con- nected with Lake Moero by the Lapule, on whose baaks the town of Cazembe 1s built. Moero 1s, in its drained by tne Lualaba into another lake named Ulenge, and here expioration ends. Natives have told Dr. Livingstone that Ule! ig an island-studded lake, whose waters join the Lufira, a large river coming from the wesiern side of the same great plain, whose eastern slope 1s drained by the Champbeze. Thuis united stream, some say, enters the Dalganyka, and theace by the Loanda into Lake Chowem! bat Dr. Livingstone’s informants are not unanimous, and some assert that the Lufira passes to the west of Dalganvka, and so to the Lake Chowembe, which Dr. Livingstone thinks is the same as the Albert Nyanza of Sir Samuel Baker. In fact, the interest of the journey centres in the southern con- nections of the Albert Nyanza, and Arab traders generally agree in thinking that a water communtcation does exist between that and the Tanganyika, but I have not met with any one who professes to have traced out this communica- tion. From Arabs who visit Cazembe | learn that that the lakes now described by Dr. Liviugtone are of considerable size, probably from five to ten days’ march in length, and, like Nyassa Tangan- yika, the Albert Nyanza 1s overhung by high moun- tain slo which open out in bays and valleys, or leave plot plains, which, during the ralny se become flooded, so that caravans march for da) through water knee deep, seeking for higuer ground on which to pass the night. ‘The country albunds with large game and domestic caitie, while the cll- mate is spoken of as not unhealuty, and 1s certainly @ contrast to the Zanzibar coast, if we may judge from the tanned, healthy traders who return. I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient ser- vant, JOHN KIRK, After a brief technical discussion as to the eleva- tion of certain of the districts mentioned im the documents which had been read, Captain SHERARD OsroRN, R. N., expressed a Bore that Livingstone gomg north would meet Baker working bis way south, ‘The PRasiDENT said that the great problem had now been solved—the road was open to his illus- trious friend. They might expect him within a few months, and they would accord him a welcome such as few Englishmen had ever experienced, . (Loud applause.) * ‘Ihe meeting then separated. ‘A DEAD MAN'S FACE, Mysterious Affair—Human Remains Found in an Ash Barrel—Coronor’s Investigation. A sensational report in regard to finding some human remains in the strect reached vhe ears of Coroner Rollins, at the City Hall, yesterday morn- ing. Upon investigation it appeared that at eight o'clock A. M. some boys, while at play, discovered in an ash barrel standing in front of Dr. Nichols’ office, No. 11 University place, a portion of & man’s head. One of the boys, named Thomas Spiller, re- ported the fact to oficer Mintz, of the Fifteenth pre- cinct, who took the remains to the Mercer street police station. Dr. Jobn Beach, on making an examination, found the face of @ man apparently about forty-five years of age, which, to all appearances, had been reserved 1n carbolic acid for some ume, The head ad been sawn off above the eyebrows, directly back to @ point just above the ears and then directiy downward, taking out the lower jaw, leaving the soft parts—including the chin, upper jaw, eyes and nose, ‘the features were so well preserved that one well acquainted with deceased during his lifetime would have readily _recog- nized him. It was impossible to learn who the deceased was of which the remains formed a part, how he came to big death or by whom the deposit was made in the ash barrel. Dr. Beach. however, was of the impression that the remains had been the subject of a scientitic investigation by stu- dents in some medical cojiege. That, however, 1s Mere conjecture, Coroner iol.ins eaximined officer Mintz as to finding the remains, and, as there seemed DO provability of procuring iturther evidence calcu- lated to clear up the mystery, closed the case, and sent the portion of the head to the Morgue to remain a reasonable length of time for identification. The jury rendered @ verdict of death from causes un- known. MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. _ Married. AvTon—ComBs.—On Thursday, November 4, at Johnson street Methodist Episcopal church, by the Rev. J.
