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.

PAnlS Feb. 20-Humors or an unsatisfactory -
tory nature as to the condition of afairs In
Egypt are causing uneasiness here. 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.

the belief that too little silver was produced.
I was a great error he said , to attribute

production , because the depreciation had only
manifested Itself after time inhibition of the
free minting of silver.
Consul Wimann stated that I was a mis-

Tonight's heel nail 10 recital at Germanla
hal Is a fair Illustration or thin performances
which MayorVeir amid time 1.lneoln police
force say arc Impossible to suppress The
chlei ! of polee his done his best to break
them up , but so far Ehrenport has "stood

seances as In the worst beauty of the tender-
loin district In New York. 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

"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

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.

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 -
