the Theodore Ruger was in collision
thirty-six miles off the Lr'sard. There
is now no doubt of the total loss of
both vessels, with most of the erew of
the Nantes and part of the ship's

Pxttsbueo, Pa, Not. 13. While
crossing the mountains coming east
this morning the Pullman sleeper
" Aragon," of New York express train
No. 9 on the Pennsylvania road,
caught fire, and before the flames
could be subdued one half of the oar
was consumed, together with the
clothing of a number of passengers.
The fire was discovered about 4
o'clock, when the train was nearing
Connellsville. The passengers were
quickly awakened and, half -clad, they
rushed panic-stricken from the car to
the adjoining cars. Meanwhile the
fire was steadily gaining, and it was
feared the car would be entirely con
sumed. The porter, however, with
the assistance of a fire-extinguisher
and several cool-headed passengers,
soon had thel names under control.
There were twenty passengers on the
car, bat fortunately so one was in
jured. The passengers who had lost
portions of their clothing presented
a demoralised appearance when they
arrived in this city this morning. It
is supposed that the fire caught from
from the stove. Loss not known.

Washington, D. C, Nov. 13,
Some crooked business has been
discovered in connection with the
transfer of silver dollars from the
mint at New' Orleans to Washington
for storage in the court yard cf the
Treasury building, which has re
sulted in tho loss of $1,500. The loss
was discovered last week but did net
become known outside of the depart
ment until today. Treasury officials re
fuse to speak of the matter and very
little is known beyond the facts already
stated. The silver was shipped by the
Adam3 Express Company and the
Uoes will probably fall upon it unlees it
can be proved that the packages con-,
taimug the money wrere tampered
with before they came into its pos
session. )
The money was shipped in wooden
boxes containing: two canvas bacrs
with $1,000 in each bag. The boxes
are carefully sealed before they leave
tne mint lor delivery to the express
company, and are carefully guarded
from that time until their delivery at
tne xre8ury department, lbey are
therefore under surveillance from the
time they leave the mint until they
are delivered to the agents of the
United States Treasury. From one
box an entire sack of dollars had been
abstracted and sacks of No. 4 and No.
6 shot substituted to give it weight.
From another box half of the contents
of one Back had been taken and pieces
of lead substituted. The broken seals
on the boxes were patched up with
the impression of a silver quarter. :

" Yes, go and see Naples and die.
but come to Morehead City to sleep
and to live. If there be a place on
earth where daily existence is a deli
cious languor, that highly favored
spot is this City by the Sea," These
words were no doubt sincerely spoken
and he or she who uttered; them has
unquestionably struck the! key-note.
The writer of this is not accustomed
to Southern waters during the sum
mer season, but you may bet that
when the cold, chilly winds of our
Northern clime begin to blow you
will always find me heading towards
your sunny Southland. I do not
care to go further than the vicinity
of Morehead, for here I find a de
lightful climate the entire winter,
game in abundance and of errery kind.
And here I will say that the ducking in
season is as fine as that in Curri
tuck. Core and Bogus Sounds are
always full of them in season and
this fact accounts, for the j American
sportsmen who every winter come
down from the north and inhabit this
region.
A New York club, composed of
well-known gentlemen, hap recently
erected a large club-house of its own
on Harbor Island, above Morehead
and Beaufort, where they will go in
for the.gunning season. This club
house, I am told, has been provided
with everything necessary to comfort.
On the third floor there are eleeant
billiard tables, Ac-, for the members
when the weather is too bad for gun
ning. That this section of country
will attract many visitors from our
nprthern section cannot be denied. It
has many advantages over other
places which I have visited. Ita
climate, if nothing more, will attract
I have spent several winters at Beau
fort and I know whereof I speak. As
a place for invalids I should think it
unsurpassed.
Ihe invalids of the North seek the
pine forests of the South. Here they
are not only surrounded by dense
pine forest?, but get the benefit of
pure sea air as well. North, and west
of the village are a dense .pine forest
and Bogue Banks. To the southwest
the country is covered with hemlock
and cedar. The town of Morehead is
peculiarly situated, being on a nar
row, sandy peninsula that dries imme
diately after a rainfall, for so quick is
tne absorption thai in hlteen or twen
ty minutes one could ecareely tell that
rain nad laiien at all. Another tbintr
that commends Morehead is its prox
imity to the Galf Stream. Situ
ated within thirty miles of the
hundred fathom line, the air is de
lightfully tempered by the famous
warm "river in the ocean," and there
are no sudden changes from heat to
extreme cold, or what are commonly
known as "northers." 'The mean
annual temperature, I aui told, is
identical with that of. theUy of
Rome in Italy, i. e. 61 degrees.
1 nna at Morehead one of the
largest resort hotels I have seen any
where, and 1 wai surprised to learn
upon inquiry that it would not be
kept open during the winter.

of this large hotel are losing a golden

Farts Letter.
News of a determined duel by moon
light comes from balmy Biarritz. It
was fought by two young Spaniards
01 nigh lamiiy, who quarreled on a
very trivial pretext at a soiree given
by the Baron de Bee. The combat
ants chose pistols, and aa the moon
did not sufficiently illuminate the
scene, candles ard torches were placed
in a sequestered part of the Baron's
horticultural premises. Jrosstions were
taken np at twenty paces, and hardly
had the word of command been
given when one of the combat
ants fell shrieking to the ground.
He had been shot through ' the right
snouider, tne Diaae 01 which was
fractured. The bullet waa extracted
by a surgeon after a little difficulty,
and the wounded hidalgo was taken
home, where he now lies : and is in a
fair way to reoovery. He is the son
of a Spanish general. The seconds of
the defeated combatant were Prince
Oldenburg, a relative of the Czar, and
Don Alfonso de Aldama, ayoung Car
hat officer, while tho victor was at
tended on the crround by Comte de
Lesser and the Duke of Tamamea, a
grandee of Spain of the first class,
husbard of one of the daughters of
the Duke of .Alba, and a nephew by
marriage of the Empress Eugenie.
The pretext of the quarrel is de
scribed as futile, but it is possible
that a dark-eyed senori'a was at the
bottom of it all.

Chattanooga, Term., Nov. 13. Three
bodies were recovered this morning
from the ruins of Bryant's European
Hotel, which was destroyed by fire
last night. They bave been identified
as E. Jones, a chambermaid, Jack
White, of Atlanta, Ga, and Thomas
Moore, of Bloomington, HI. The
latter two were guests. The young
woman who was burned was caught
by falling timber near the centre of
the buHding. White had escaped
once and went back to recover his
valise, but was caught on the stair
way and slowly roasted to death. His
clinched hands were filled with hair
which he tore from his head in the
agonies of his frightful death Moore's
body was charred to a crisp. Search
is in progress for other bodies, but it
is thought no more will be found.
1 THE SON'S KClalPSSu
AN EXPEDITION TO WITNESS IT.
Baltimore San. '
An interesting astronomical expedi
tion is being fitted out at Harvard
College for a two-fold purpose.
The first in order of time will be
an expedition to California for
observation of the total eclipse
of the sun on January I, 1889.
Immediately after the eclipse one of
tne corps 01 observers will prooeed to
Peru, taking with him a part of the
apparatus. He will be joined later
by others, and the work will then be
entered upon, which has been a year
or more in contemplation, c t making
a oomplete survey of the Southern
heavens.
The solar total eclipse invites a re
newed attempt to solve various prob
lems concerning the sun's corona by
means of photography, and other
problems relating to the amount and
intensity of the light emitted by the
sun under the conditions suggested.
This work will be under the personal
direction of W. S. Pickering, chief of
the department of photography of
the observatory. The eclipse will take
place about 2 p. m. on the coast of
California, and daring the remainder
of the afternoon, if the sky be- clear,
win ue visioie in 10 auty over a strip
of this country about 120 miles wide
and will be visible as, a sunset phe
nomenon, also total, in Canada, a
short distance north of Lake Supe
rior. As a partial eclipse it will be
seen over a muoh wider expanse.
xne Harvard Observatory party
will take a position near the town of
WUlow, in the Sacramento valley.
the observatory station being at an
altitude 01 two thousand feet above
the sea level. The party will consist Fevers; V Cure Habitual! Oonstipa
of W. B. Pickering, chief; A. Law- tioilfl indigestion, Pilee, aU. Maiu-
rence Botch, Samuel Bailey, E. S,
King and Robert Black. Mr. Botch
has already more than a national rep
utation as a meteorologist, and it
will be in that line that his service
will be rendered. The other three
have been for some time past active
assistants at the observatory.
many instruments ox subordinate
service are comprised in the equip
ment. Among these are a flve-mch
and four-inch photographing camera
of the ordinary kind. One of the
instruments is for measuring the
brightness of the eorons, and ia an
ingenious piece of apparatus, a pri
mary feature of which is a perforated
plate, having perhaps 1,000 minute
apertures for the passage of separate
shafts of light, any one of which may
be used for the purpose of observa
tion. An important part of the work
will be the photographing of the
spectrum, for whioh oj.iiolbte appa
ratus is provided. There will be
two other important observing sta
tions established in the pathway of
the totality. One of these will be
that of the Lick Observatory. - Prof.
David, of the national coast survey,
will have charge of an expedition fit
ted out at private expense, and will
occupy a station in-Nevada.
With the ending of the eel: pee, a
part of the apparatus of the Harvard
expedition, the 13 inch and 8 -inch
liryden telescopes, will, be continued
in service in uaiiiornia. uertain
wealthy and ' enterprising friends of
the University of Southern California
propose to set np an observatory
which shall excel tt in having a larger
telescope. The great Lick instru
ment is of 30 inch aperture. The
telescope to be made for the univer
sity named wi1! be of 40 inch aper
ture. The selection of a site for this
purpose is of great importance. As
contributory to this end, the two Har
vard iustruments mentioned will be
operated experimentally for a year on
Wilson's leak, height 6,000 feet, in
Soutbem California, siler which they
will ce taken to 1'eru and placed in
th per -uaoeiit observatory., of flar
viid ther. Thi observatory will
co -operate iu the Southern hemis
phere uh tho work of the Haivard
Colligo Observatory.
