NIV YORK , Feb. 20.-Tho IHo News or January 9 , just receied In the latest mal , ' gives the particulars of n terrible calamity I In the bay of Ho Janeiro. I sa's : ' About 7:30 : on the evening of time 6th Inst. n fro broke out on the ferry boat Tercecor Boon after her leaving the San Domlngas landing. The boat left Rio le Janeiro with a largo number of passengers , estimated at from 250 10 300 , the greater part or whom dlstmbarked nt San Domlnga8. About fifty people embr.rlel nt this point. I Is gen- orally estimated that there were from 100 10 150 persona on board at the time of the disaster. Although the Tercecora was barely 300 metres from land when the fro broke out nothing effective appears to have been done to save the passengers except the rGre- ( thought of the engineers In opening the safely valves or the hollers to IJrovent au - explosion. The master signaled for the engineers - gineers to stop amid nothing more was done. There was apparently hut row hife.saving ap- plances on board. The fro burned with Buch rapidity. however that the passengers were wn drIven ! overboard where many wer drowned . some were picked 111 by the launch boats which hastened 10 the scene and n few succeeded In swimming ashore. The ferry boat Qulta had just left the Nlcthery slip when the fro broke out ant the master hurrel ) to the scene. On approaching - preaching the burning vessel ho was suddenly - denly surrounded by an excited crowd of passengers , some wih revolvers In their hnnlls , who threatened his life I be ventured \ near the miming boat. He was therefore compelled to turn away and leave the pas- I sengers of the Tercecor to their ate. Deere - tore doing so he had alt time benches amid other means of saving life thrown overboard for those who were struggling In the watrr. In little more than hal 'an hour the terrible scene was at an end so far ns the pas- 's Bongers were concerned. FIANC WOHUmn U\Elt EOit' I' .

A [ special dispatch from Cairo says that friendly , natives assert that a rising of the natives wilt take place on the 26th of this month during the Hamadan , the great annual feast of th 1lohammedans , which lasts for a ' n3olmtm. ! This rIsing , the dispatch says , has tt been foretold In Mohammedan fanatcal so- ' cleties. The Journal des Debats commentIng - lag upon the situation , asserts that In ile European chancelories there Is no readiness to admit the existence of a Drllsh pro- e tectorle In Egypt. The Journal Insists that the task of AfrIca Is to arouse Central Europe so It will givE unmistakable evidence that the sympathy Is wIth Egypt as against Great . Britain. LONDON , Feb. 21.-A dispatch to the , $ Times from Cairo says time menacing aspect of affairs In Alexandria continues to occupy , public. attention. Threats of venselu are freely uttered. A change lu the garrison that has just occurred Is considered to favor ' the chances of public disturbance , while the large Influx of Dedoulns into the outkirts of the city ( ltrln , the last few weeks Is regarded - garded as a disquieting Ceaturo. All these symptoms vividly recal those that heralded the massacre In 1882. For some time past one of the kheclive's proteges , whose palrlot- lam has been stimulated by dismissal from , . the government service for peculation , has ; , been busy among the Bedouins distributing Ilhedival largess and recruiting a hodyguard for the Ithedlvo's person Thnt the danger- Qua agitation has been ' artificially provoked Is evident from the contrast Alexandria presents - seats to the complete tranquility and contentment - Imnent prevailing throughout the rest of Egypt since the formation of the ministry of Nubar I'lsha.

In a total vote 01 214,747 Charles F. War- wick , the republican candidate for mayor , bad a plurality of 60,989 over X-Governor Robert E. PaUson , the democratc 'Btandard bearer. This Is the greatest purolly ! ever given a candidate In a municipal contest , the prevIous record being 39,06 , received Ly Edwin S. Stuart In 1891.

Nothlns imaginable - ble couhl be more free and ! SY. Thorn was the average attendance tonight , and the 200 chairs around the wals were alternately lted with panting sitters and bare and empty when the mall whirl was on. Among the atendanco at thus rather bizarre shrine or Terpsichore were about twenty me.mbers of both houses of time legislature. They were all amply provided wih tIckets. Ehrenpfort makes It I special point to see that no one of thin solons grows ennuled after nightfll , If he Is willing to walk down opposite the postofce and take a spin with the merry dames who are thtre 10 met them. The bal opened at 9 o'cloclt and noboy blushed , save , perhaps . the pIcture of Mozart on time north wal , encircled with a wreath or evergreen. Just above his classical head was the galery ; or grand stand. Many of time legislative attendants sought the seclusion or thh place , and right behind I was the bar flowing with an average quality uf beer and a quantity of more slmulalpg fluids that would make a man steal his own clothe and hide them In the woods. The carnival tonight was dlssulsed.by tine tempting'flgment that It was under the auspIces of the "Knights r 'the Faucet , " otherWise the Bartenders associa- ton of , Lln oln. This , however was denied by quite. I number ' of thuc' local bartenders , and some of them were earnest In expressing their willingness to , accord all the honors and triumphs of the occasion to Ehrenpfort. He alone was master or ceremonies , and he held " . " the "door. "door. "DEY CUT 'EM LOOSE , SEE ? " Dy 10 o'clock the fun was fast and furious. Men and women tripped up the steps to the bar , and on their return 10 the waxed floor lcicltetl I higher and shouted louder than over. Some of the scenes of the bowery were dupl- emoted anti sOle of them ouldone. Usually these fantastic orgies of Ehrenpfort's In time midst of Lincoln decorum are masquerades. Tonight al masks were abandoned , all "Pearl , Pearl , lo flowery Guml , " tripped the light fan taste face to face with the I genleman from Away Dack. "Hmmiiy gee , wouldn't dat cork yer ? " In- I qulred one 01 the atendants as time mad ! ' swirl was at Its giddiest. "Git onto de bloke wid cold slaw In his button hole. He's an employe of time senate , see ? " ejaculated another. A man with a square face came up and whispered to one of the two floor managers : "Say , culey , I'e got two of me friends out here I want to get 'ciii In. ' "Dat's all rIght. Go and tel Ehrenpfort dey's employes , see ? " The man with the square face saw . and the open sesame worked to the queen's luste. Just as the "employes" tumbled In the hal one of the "ladles" 'slipped , fell , and as a reticent Individual who had made several voyages to the bar without attracting undue attention remarked : "li-I was a poppln' thou for a sure thing. " "Do yon dance ? " . asked I companion of one of the "employes" of the house. "Detcher sweet life I do , an' that ain't no lie , eiher ! " she replied. AFTER TiE BALL WAS OVEn. A few days prior to time convening of the legislature Ehrenpfort put In an appearance at a leading hotel In Lincoln , engaged a room and gave It out that ho hind been delegated 10 protect the Interests of certain railroads. In proof of thus assertion he flashed a roll of greenbaells and exhibited letters from rail- roall magnates certifying to his capabilities and amoral rectitude . ills first business , of course , was to malto the acquaintance of members , and he bent all energies to that end. having done so , entertainment must be provhled. What shouhl It be ? Henry hit upon a plan lie engased rooms over Otto Grasser's saloon , Nand 'renth streets Here wino anti cigars were put In stock There were also other trimmings. Henry evinced a special liking for tender- foot members-men from rural districts not versed In the lanners and customs DC city folk 'fo his rooms he brought timem They played high five , smoked good cigars and looked upon the wine when It was red , Ere time evening hour was far spent Henry would sUddenly recollect that he had forgotten - gotten to mal a letter , or keep a date , or pay a bill . lie would excuse hlmset and promise to return In ten minutes. During his absence the guileless lawmakers would hear a knock at time door and bil the callers enter. Into the room came tripping a bevy of air damsels , whose golden hair was hang. lag down their back. They hall been em- ployed for time service and Ilew their busi- ness. This means a good deal under circimun- stances like these In hmammd At the moment when the situation asumell its most Interest- Ing phase Ehrenpfort reappeared , 'he mll- bore were abalhed , oC course They attempted - tempted ta explain , but Ehrenpfort waived oil excuses anti [ assured thel I was till rIght. l.'rom . that moment he held a club over them /11 could control their votes In legislative session lie has lucle ded In getting a numb - ' ber of member Into his net and . they are as clay In his hands.

EIH NPI OnT'S EARLY I CAHmn. Who Is this man ghrenllfort ? TIme was when he stoOI veil among his fellows anti gained a reputation as I sober , Industrious and skilled mechanic. From the I day , , that . he - became . . Ilossessed - - - - of a burnIng amlllOU ror IJOllcal ounce , however his erstwhlo , oed reputation has sUfer,11 so mummy blemishes that ghrenprort seems now to bo lost to all sense of honor nail decenc ' . In an evil hour he aspired to the office oC assessor of the First ward. Ills 100,1 name at that ( line brought to his sUllprt n major- I ) of the voters of the ward amI ho was electeti Success In this his first venture Into the political Irena seemell to have a pecular Ir not extraordlnar fect upon his mlnll. Ills heall swoled to abnormnl propor- lions. Had not the sovereign people IJlcked him cut In preference to 2,000 other citizens aOl exalted him In public office ! What little logic hiatt been vouchsafed him hy nature enabled him to malI hut one deduction from the act of his electIon : That he un ouhtelly was the best man In the warti TakIng thIs , precious Incton to his soul he entered Ul10n the performance of time functons er his high olce , At Ihat early day , however , I Is doubtful whether ghrenpfort knew the great possibIlities of his office. But In n very short time he became the subject or dis- tnguished consideration at the hands of rich muon anti powerfmml corporations : When lie found that for ( ito macro asking he could have lila house wired for incandescent lights and that his residence could be ihhimummhnated by electricity without money and wlthmommt price , hits first ideas of personal greatness were only contlrmnetl. Anti when it was made plan that his public duties rettuired him to cover a great deal of territory anti that a street car pass awaited lila requisition , his self-esteem took on mmnothmer bull movement. And when , after hue officIal duties were con- eluded for the year , his triune had become wasted and hits nervcus system showed every evidence of the severe strain upon it , the railroad tax agents readily convinced him that a trIp to time muountaine would build hmhn up anti rejuvenate hl energies. lie muight take his family just aa well as not. Time trains would run any way , so one or two more passengers wouldn't cut much of a figure , Time courteous tender was accepted , of course. ' 11enry Ebrenpfort , even at that early day in his political career , had presence of umiind enough to mmaih every snap that came hue way , But It takes money to travel. There mire necessary expenses , you know , Henry went to a banker and asked for a loan. He got it , but titat had nothing whatever to do withm the fact that the banker owned property in time First ward. \VIIIiN 1I1 ? nnnmnsm 'm'sn nsun Titus Henry Ehrenpfort , assessor of time First ward , get an inkling of Limo limitless possibilities of his high omce. For years lie clung to it hike a sheep tick does to a fur lined coat. He learned to worlc property owners to tue queen's taste. lie retiucod time levying of potty tribute to a fine art. Henry loved beer. There were several large breweries and warehouses of eastern breweries located in the First ward. This property was assessable. It might be returned - turned for one-half or one-tentit its vahue. One day Henry tripped into the warehouse of a Milwaukee brewer and umniti : "I nun the assessor of time First ward. Send me a case of beer. " Time order was filled , but before the time came for presentlmmg a bill Euirenptort appeared - peared with his official blanks for returns of personal property. Ills treatment of time brewer was so courteous anti considerate ( lint the latter sent another case of beer to fohow the first , Time wore on till the 4tim of July.
