The ruling passion is strong in death,

once in a while, for charity." It was always
thus with noted singers.

The once famous Cardiff giant has beeu
heard from again, after years of oblivion.
It reposes in a lidless box at El Pnso,
Texas, -which serves as a settee for the
idlers of that town. It appears that the
giant was carried to El Paso a long while |
ago by some speculative individuals whose
design it was to take him to Mexico and
bury him, with the ultimate view of resurrecting
him for the show business. Since
then he is said to have been sold for the
paltry price of $-32.

One of the auditors of the Treasury Department,
who had rented a house in a
fashionable quarter of "Washington, was
surprised to discover, when the end of
the month rolled around, lhat his landlord
was none other than one of the messengers
of his Bureau. Further inquiry
developed the fact that the latter had i
been loaning money through the department
to impecunious clerks aud others,
extorting in return an interest of 10 per
cent, a mouth. The ex-messenger claims
to have kept ?10.000 in constant circulation.

When the reccnt failure of the
Tung Lung bank at Hong Ivong was made
public, a crowd of excited depositors
stormed the building, ransacked it from

way of declaring a dividend than the one
usually pursued in occidental communities.
On this occasion it is not stated
whether the officers of the bank were
among the assets. The probability is that
they tied to the Montreal of China, wherever
that may be.

GONE TO THE BOTTOM.
toss of a Sealing Steamer With
All 011 Board.
St, John's, N. F., Mourning the
Death of Nearly 300 Men,
The of the loss of the St. John's <N
F.) scaling; steamer Eagle with all oil board is
confirmed. The calamity is the most appalling
that ever befell the province of Newfoundland.
Of 280 men on board not one survives
tr* iiio cti-irv nf thn <li?iKtor. More than one
thousand widows and children hi St. John's
and vicinity, most of them in poverty, are
mourning the Joss of husbands or fathers. The
lost vessel was last seen by the steamer Aurora
on the night of the 11th ult., near Frank's
Island, in Bucna Vista Bay, which is about
UK) miles northwest of Sr. John's. A heavy
sea was running al. tin; time. The next morning
the Aurora couki lind no trace of the
Eagle.
A message has arrived from Greonpond, on
the liny, saying that Lighthouse Keejier Cahot
boarded the sealing steamers Vanguard and
Hector oil' that place a few days later. Jloth
those vessels reported passing spars, the forecastle
and other wreckage, including tho
nameboard of the Eagle, near the spot where
she was last seen. Light house Keeper Cabot
is a thoroughly trustworthy man, and his
opinion that tlie Eagle has gone down with all
on hoard is almost conclusive, aside from the
' evidence from other sources. The other
steamers of the fleet are s|>oken and reported
every few days, and all have been heard from
since the 11th, except, the Eagle. No one at
St. John's anj- longer doubts that alien board
have perished.
Ih'garding the circumstances of the
41 ? nluiiif nnniill,
UlNltm UMTiCuir mv/ iv.7
tenable, One is that the boilers exploded, in
which event all on board would have perished
at once in the raging sen. The other is
that the vessel in some way got into the
breakers, which would " have made
death to all no less certain. The sea
that night is described by tho men on the
other vessels of the fleet as the most terrible
that ever raged, even upon this savage coast.
No ship once caught in the awful breakers
could possibly escape, and no small boat could
land a man alive on the rocky, precipitous
coast. Anything that could float, large or
small, would have been ground to pieces on
the wild rocks.
The Kaglc carried a crew of fifty men and
about ~-0 scalers. Their exact number is not
known. All the sealing f.teamei'scarry a large
number of men. The nature of the work
makes it necessary. The seals are generally
found upon theice in large nmntersor colonies.
The men get as close as possible to thein, and
then, am ltd with clubs, rush in among them
and knock over as many as possible before
they have time to escape to the water. The
more men there are the more seals are
caught.
Capt. Jackmin, commander of ilie Eagle,
was recognised as the bravest skipper
of tho colon}*, l.'ntil 1SS5 he was king

the first tune m his experience, ho
failed to secure any peals. Last year
ill luck again attended him and he Inst the
steamer Resolute near the same fatal Frank's
Inland, but his crew escaped. loiter, the same
season, he took command of the Eagle, and
within a few weeks she broke her shaft. She
was refitted and a month ago she started 011
her last voyage. Nearly nil the men on board
Mere married and were in the prime of life.
The calamity falls with still more crushing
force by reason of the impoverished condition
of the colony. Nearly all the newly-made
widows and* orphans are without means of
support, and distress among them will be
great.
FOOD ADULTERATIONS.
Investigation by a Chemist of the
Agricultural Department.
The chemists of the Deparment of Agriculture,
under tlie direction of the Commissioner.
have for a year or more been investigating
the extent and manner of food adulteration
practised in this country, and a report
covering several 1 tranches of the work is
in process of preparation. That portion relating
to spices and condiments, prepared by
Clifford Richardson, is completed. Mr.
Rinlioi^cnn's inv<ishifrntioiis show that 110 I
other kinds of human food are adulterated to
such an extent. Of twenty samples of ground
cloves examined only two wore pure. Tho
others had suffered the extraction of their
essential oils and had been polluted-by the addition
of clove stems, alspico and husks of
various kinds. Of eight samples of cayenne
papper only one was pure. Of ten samples
of mustard none w ere pure, though several
had only suffered tho loss of their fixed oil;
the others contained quantities of wheat
Hour, the spurious matter l>eing in s>omo
cases two-tliirds of tho compound. Tins
made it necessary to add tumeric acid (harmless)
to restore the mustard color. Ten samples
of alspice were examined, eight of which
were pure. Four samples of cussia were all
pure. Of ten samples of ginger, four were
pure. Only one out of thirteen samples of
black pepper was found to bo what it purDorted
to be. A specimen sent from Balti
more to a man who had an army contract .
was almost entirely spurious. Cayenne pepper.
black pepper liusks and mustard hulls
were used to give flavor and pungency while
'body" was supplied by ground beans and
rice, and color by charcoal. Two samples of I
white popper out of live were pure, two samples
of mace out of five were pure, and of
three samples of nutmeg examined all were
pure. Mr. Richardson incidentally mentions
a New York spice grinder v. lio within a short
time worked off live thousand pounds of
coeoanut husks.

PERILS OF THE SEA.
The Tragic Story of a Ship
wrecked Schooner.
Two of Her Crew of Six Men Rescued
After Great Suffering.
The bark Scot's Bay left Lislran fifly-lliree
days ago, says the Now York Sxn, and after a
strugglo of thirty-four days passed Hatter as.
During a strong gale on Thursclay, while she
was hovo to under two lower topsails, spencer,
and forestaysail, Second Mate O'Brien
dimly saw in the gray dawn, from his perch
on the fore topsail yard, a long, dark object,
nearly six miles dead to leeward,
plunging and rolling in the big, wind-swept
seas. He reported his discovery to Captain
Steele, and tho Scot's Bay squared away and
bore down on the object. It was the wreck
of a schooner, and as tho bark got closer a'id
tho daylight brighter, Captain Steele made
out two men sitting on the after hou:>o feebly
waving their arms. The bark passed close
under the stern of tho wreck and hove
to. Notwithstanding tho turbulent waves,
a boat was safely launched in charge of Mate
Peterson and four volunteers, and an attempt
made to rescue the two men on the wreck.
Mate Peterson noted that the mainmast of the
schooner was broken close to the deck and |
about half of the mizzen and foremasts were
standing. The deck was flash with the seas,
which swept her at intervals from st-m to
stern.
The two men were lashed to the after house.
Their clothing was torn to shmls and their
bodies were lilled with cuts and bruises. They
laughed ami cried deliriously when they saw
tho boat and its plucky occupants rowing toward
them. Mate Peterson made several ineffectual
attempts to board the wreck, but "he
heavy swells proved to be too much for i he
littlo boat, lite two shipwrecked men feebly
lagged the boatmen not to leave them. 31 ate
Peterson shouted encouraging words to the
unfortunates. Alter much manoeuvring the
rescuers got closo enough to get hold of the
broken rigging dangling over the port side.
The mute got aboard and lifted the two unfortunates
in (ho boat and rowed them to v.he
bark. They wen; hoisted aboard by io|xjs
and carried by willing hands into tho cat in.
All the brandy the Captain had and lots of
steaming coffee were poured down their
throats. Then they ate a nourishing meal and
ivere put to bod.
When they awoke the next day they told
Lhe story of their adventure. They were
Capt. Williams and Second Mate Dickson

March 7, hoavily kidon with lumber.
Her crow consisted of Captain "Williams,
Mate Bonner, Second Ma to Dickson,
sprogue, the wliit?; steward, and two colored
seamen?six in all. From March 12 to March
il the schooner was the playtliing of the
dements, which tossed "her about as
10 craft tho Captain had ever commanded
;ver was tossed. The men were kept
it the pumi>s continually, for she leaked
jadly. The northwesterly gales had
iriven her far out of her course, and tho
Captain, not having any instruments, was
mahle to tell where sho was, wljen, on Tueslay,
March 22, he hove to in a howling hur icane.
He supposed that he was off Chincoeague,
Va., but he was really &>0 miles east
)t Norfolk. A lull in tho awful blast was
mddenly followed by a squall tliat sent the
ehoonor on her beam ends. The Captain orlereei
the men to cut away the fore a ml mainnasts,
and seized an ax himself to help them.
Die mainmast, was cut closo to the deck and
raslted over the port side, carrying half of the

cashing away or destroying all the food, and
oon filled every nook and conicr of the ves;el
with water. The men were forced on
leek a train, and, 011 the advice of Captain
>Villiams, lashed themselves to the after house.
All through the night the waves dashed
ivcr the wreck, tearing the clothing of the
uenlike the hands of invisible furies. The
notion of tha wreck made the lashings cub
nto their flesh, and the salt water made the
rounds smart like hums.
Mate Benner died in the night, and his lody
rat* unlashed. A wave washed it array,
ust before dawn (ho two ne^jo seamen, who
iad been wildly praying and weeping, went
(iad and unlasned themselves. The capoin
tried to persuade them 1;o return to the
ouse, but they seemed to l)e oblivious of his
xistence, and recklessly ran about the deck
lternately shouting for help and
raying. They saw imaginary ships sailing to
escue them, and they lauglieJl in wild delight,
'lien the ships seemed to pass without l.eedng
them, and their cries were more terrible
lian the creaking of the wreck and themoanlg
of the wind. One of the storm-crazed
allors leaped from the weather rail into the
urging sea, and the other dived headforemost
ito the water-filled companion way and perilled.
Steward Sprague already' had been
omfrom his lashings, and carried away on
giant wave. \\ hen morning came the
\a had gone down somewhat and the wind
lew with Jess fierceness. The captain tied
is tattered shirt to a polo mid fastened the
olo to the foremast. Several vessels passed
ir to tho westward, and the weary, hungry,
nd disheartened sailors shouted tlicriijlvcs
hoarso in their frantic efforts ta atract
attention. All day long and all
be following night they lay awake

or succor. They saw the re scuing bark long

bey added to t heir exhaustion by wild y< liing

or joy when they saw the bark square away

A COURT-ROOM DUEL.
Two Lawyers Fire at Each OtherOne
Killed, the Other Wounded.
Some days ago Lambert Jones and George
Johason, lawyers, had hot words in a Jus.
tice's court in Newberry, S. C. They
were in court again Saturday, and during
the proceedings Jones, who is not yet
21, insinuated that Johnson lied. Johnson is
a prominent lawyer in the State. Last
fall he made a close run for Confress.
He rose from his seat and told
ones if he repeated that he would
shoot him. Jones reiterated that Johnson
lied, and at the same time drew his pistol
and fired, the ball passing through Johnson's
ear. The latter drew his revolver, and firing
between the two became rapid. Johnson received
four wounds, but none of them was
dangerous. He fired seven times at Jones, the
last shot killing him. Johnson immediately
surrendered to the sheriff.
George B. Cromer, Mayor of Newberry,
who is also Johnson's partner, in attempting
to stop the fight, narrowly escaped with his
life, two bullets passing through his clothes.

DANGERS OF THE MINE. !
Deadly Explosion of Fire Damp
in a Scranton Colliery.
I Two Miners Killed and ManylMore
Seriously Injured,
A AYiVloevm nf fira Hamn rw?r?nrr?1
the other forenoon in the Von Storch colliery
of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
on the northern outskirts of Scranton, Penn.,
killing two miners and seriously injuring 11
other workmen.
Thomas Lewis, twenty-six years old, and
Edward Owens, thirty, were killed; and
Daniel Lewis, Patrick Mearin,Ed ward Cusiek,
Michael McGuire, Andrew Davitt, John
Jones, Lewis James, Llewellyn Jones, John
Phillips, William Littlejohn and James Morgan
were badly hurt.
The party entered the mine at 7 o'clock
a. m. .under the leadership of Boss Lewis,for the
purpvs? of making repairs, and on their way
in discovered gas accumulating rapidly.
When about 4<XJ feet from the heading tlioy
found several "blowers" of gas. and the the
boss turned back lo obtain more help. He had
gone but a short distance when he met tho
mine foreman, and began telling him of the
condition of the colliery.
While they were speaking the tremendous
explosion occurred. The great volume of gas
with which the mine was charged came in
uuuuiui/ ?> i LIi use liny iioxiiu ui a JUIUU jdiiip.
In the storm of destruction that followed in tile
darkness, men. nudes and mine cars were
flung about promiscuously along the gangways.
A driver boy named Mean was blown along
the gangway a distance of about twenty
yards, and tlie mule which accompanied him
in this involuntary trip fell on top of him. A
miner named Michael Maguire fell in the
same heap, and other workmen had similar
| thrilling experiences. The report of the explosion
made itself felt a considerable distance
from the shaft.
In a short time hundreds of excited people
who realized what had happened, and feared
that their friends were dead or in peril, rushed
to the scene. For a time the most painful
anxiety prevailed at the moatli of the mine.
Finally a rescuing party entered to ascertain
the extent of the disaster. The rapid accumulation
of the deadly afterdamp, which usually
follows such an explosion, made the
venture a perilous one, especially as all the
air courses were deranged and there was no
ventilation.
After working heroically for some time a
band of minei-s pushed their way ahead, made
access and carricd assistance to the injured,
who were promptly taken to their homes.
Some were carried on stretchers, and others
who were nut s>u uuuiy uui t were uuie w wunt
without assistance. The bodies of Owens and
Lewis were not discovered until tliis afternoon.
The foarful force of the explosion was
shown in the fact that large pieces of coal and
lumber were flung from tlie mouth of the
shaft when the shock occurred as if projected
from the mouth of a cannon.
ICE-GORGE AND PL00D.
Most Destructive Floods in the History
of the Northwest.
A Bismarck (Dakota) special gives the following
particulars of the terrible floods and
ice gorges which have been widespread in
that vicinity:
The greatest flood in the history of the
Northwest, and the most widespread since the
settlement of the Missouri Valley, has been
raging for several days with no sign of abatement.
When the ice broke above and flowed
to Washburn a gorge was formed which
raised the river at that point over twenty
feet. This gorge lasted one day, wheti it broke,
and the pent-up flood swept clown upon
the lowlands like tlie breaking of a mignty
! waterspout, and in less than five hours from
the time the gorge broke the river for many
miles 1k>!ow was increased in width from one
mile to over six miles. Farms and meadowland
were transformed into vast raging
rivers, ana settlers were driven trom their
homes, some to escape the floating ice and
many to perish.
But tiie breaking of the Washburn gorge
was but a warning, as another gorge formed
the next night at the head of Sibley Island.
This gorge still exists, a-s firm and immovable
as the rocks. It consists of six miles of
ice wedged into the bed of the river
and piled above the surface from twenty to
fifty feet in height. Ko sooner did this gorge
form than the vast sea of water in the Missouri,
which had been swollen by the melting
of the snows in the Rocky Mountains ana
along the banks for hundreds of miles,
was sent back upon the land ana
the country along the lowlands presented a
picture of desolation and ruin. The waters
leaped tho banks of the river, and as in many
places the banks of the Missouri are higher
than the outlying country the water poured
upon the settlers like the "falling of a cloud.
At Painted "Wood, a settlement eighteen
miles north of here, the settlers were not
given time to lock their doors or don their
clothing. The gorge having broken, the
flood moved upon them in an instant and one
family named Jackson, consisting of father,
mother and three children, were swept away
before they could escape to a small lull forty
rods away.
For days and nights settlers along the
stream have been held in tops of trees and on
nay-staeics, ana ine ices oi mo ana property i
cannot be estimated until tlie waters recede.
Photographers and artists are on the
ground for tbo illustrated panel's of NewYork
and other cities; but no brush or pen
can do justice to the scene. A picture of the
Hood on the day of the blizzard is impossible.
Imagine a vast new-born ocean, with nere and
there a chimney top to tell of previous habitation
; miles of ice floating at tlie
rate of nine miles an hour on the
terrific current formed by the bursting
gage; rescuers' launches in search
of death-confronted settlers, and a blizzard so
blinding that tlie very air was impenetrable;
and add to tliis horror the grief and the painful
suspense denicted upon the countenances
of the thousands who gathered upon the shore
to await the return of their friends, and you
will have a vague comprehension of the scene.
When the gorge was formed, blocks of ice
measuring HK) to 3X) feet in length and breadth
and four feet in depth, were hurled into midair
as though tne were marbles and fell
back to wedge the lower stratum into
tho river bed. The officers at Fort
Lincoln report that with the aid of
iield-glasses they have seen numerous
.settlers in hay stacks and on the tree tops,
and the}* must have perished era this. At
one place two men and a woman were seen on
the top of a building waving for help, but no
help could 1*? sent. At tho home of a man
named O'Connor three persons were seen in
trees ami six persons were visible on haystacks
which wore floating by tho fort.
During the entire week .the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company has endeavored to break
the gorge with dynamite, but the explosions
were of no more effect than the bursting of a
bubble. The shock of the explosion shook
buildings and broke glass in this city, a distance
of ton miles, but failed to move
the gorge. The high trestle of the Northern
Pacific road has l>een seriously damaged, and
110 trains have crossed tho river for seven
days, thus blocking all transcontinental
freight. The steamer Helena has been
chartered by the railroad and all i>assengers
are being transferred by boat.
The latent report from the upper countrv
is that at a point about sixty miles north
more than fifty people are in trees within a
radius of * twelvo nu'les and that 1
numbers have perished. Unless assis

parish from cxjwsuro and hunger. Many
of the uufortuuates are women an<l children,
and through the Ik'id-glass mothers cm l)e
seen holding their fliivering liabcs to their 1
biva-istoproUctthem from therav.-a:id)?iie- \
tra'ing wind. The truestorv of the lMo.I will
never lie told. Many of the iVJlatr-d -vli !ers who
have been swept away leave nothing to tell the
sad story, and even the houses and barns which
might attract attention to theirformer abodo .
have been carried down with the flood.
It is impossible at this time to estimate the
damage to property or the loss of human life, 1
but it is known that the flood is the most 1
terrible in the history of tho country and
likely to remain at its' present height for over
a week.

MeCarty, Mr. Kirkland and three others have

OCEAN YACHT BACE,
The Coronet Reaches Queenstowu
Ahead of the ^Dauntless.
The great ocean yacht race for a sweepstakes
of #20.000, which began on March 13
from New York was finished at noon of
March 27 In Queenstown Harbor. The Coronet
crossed the line off Roche's Point
at 12:41 p. si., making the passage in fourteen
days, nineteen hours and three minutes actual
time.
The officers of the Royal Yacht Club of Cork,
had been waiting outside of the harbor for
the winner. The wind was blowing hard and
the stately schooner, with full spread
of sail, stood proudly on to the crossing
line firing her five guns and showing
her signaLs of triumph. To all appearances
she haa passed uninjured through tne terrible
gales which just now swept the North Atlan- .
tic. No lives had been lost, no seamen had
lkxjumjuj^ii. it uauie uespaucu says:
Seven heavy gales threw the sea into a condition
of fearful disturbance for eleven day* '
of the trip, and for two days the weather was ,
so severe as to make the question of the yacht's
surviving it somewhat doubtfuL The voyage
lias covered Capt Crosby with glory. He
freely expressed his fears of the skill
of the veteran Capt Samuels, of the Daunt- less,
for he himself had never before sailed in
a yacht race of any kind. To-day he can
take his place as one of the first yacht sailors - "
in the world, for he has brought the Coronet
through a series of gales which would have-- ->i
sent inanv a big ship down to the bottom. 4'
And all honor is due to the schooner herself.
Her behavior in all kinds of weather was magnificent,
and she is unquestionably one of the
staunchest, if not the fastest, yachts afloatHappily
then) was no accidents on the voyage.
The sailors have come into port all well, sound
in limb, and hearty, though it can easily be
understood tliat they had'to take tremendous
risks. Three sails were torn, and here and
there some tackle was broken, but otherwise
the schooner and her company are in as good ""l"
condition to-day as they were on the day of
their departure through the Narrows.
The apparent time occupied in the voyage
was 14 days. 23 hours, 34 minutes, and 46 *
seconds. "Tne actual time, however, as
measured by Greenwich meridian time, was
14 days, 19 hours, 3 minutes, and 14
seconds. The total distance traveled by
' the . schooner was 2,94'J miles The
vessel's speed was excellent, in
fact surprising, at all times when any progress
could be made at all. Her largest day's-'
ran was made Saturday, when she covered
291.5 miles, beatiner bv 20.5 miles the best
day's run made in the great race of the Henrietta.
Fleetwing and Vesta. Her smallest v
rim, 38.8 miles made on Tuesday last, speaks
volumes fox- the terrific condition or the
weather.
The yacht Dauntless reached Queenstown.
on the day after the Coronet's arrival, at 3:10
P. m. Her actual time on the passage was
sixteen days, one hour, forty-three minutes,
and thirteen seconds. She was met off Roche'sPoint
byalarge fleetof steam yachts and craft - ^
of all descriptions, and her reception was as
hearty as if she had been the victor. Her*
perfect condition speaks volumes for the jsplendid
seamanship of Captain Samuels, and
he is regarded as a hero of the deep. Consid- ;
ering the discrepancy in the size of the yachts
and the terrible nature of the weather the
Dauntless is considered to have done quite a* well
as her competitor.
