James Freeman Clark , V , D. , invoked a dlvlno blessing. After the banquet Hon. James Lowell rapped the meeting to order. In the courao of his address Lowell was In terrupted frequently by storms of applause. At his flr t reference to president Cleveland , Dr. William Everett , Jr. , proposed three chcora for Cleveland , which were given with a will. Lowell , in the cOurse of his remarks , ' said : "Ono of the reasons th.it chlolly sug gested the opportuneness of our coming to gether here has boon the president's message at the opening of the present congress. Per sonally , I confess that I f ol inysclf'stroncly attracted to Cleveland as the best representa tive of the higher typo of Americanism that wo hnvo seen siuco Lincoln was snatched from us. liut wo arc not hoie to thank him as the ho.ul of a purty. Wo are hero to felicitate each other tlmt the presidential chair hns n nwn in it , nnd this means tlmt c\ cry word ho Hays is weighted With what ho Is. Wo iiro hero to felicitate each ether tlmt this man understands politics to mean business , not Cale.inery , plain speak ing , not puller-eg with us in a double sense ; tlmt he hi > nad the courage to tell the truth to tJ , count ! y without regard to personal or Y > arty consequences , and thus to remind us Unit a country not worth telling the truth to Is not worth living in , nuy , deserves to hnvo lies told it nnd to tnko the Inevitable consequences In the calamity. Our politics call loudly for a broom. Cleveland , 1 think , has found the broom nnd begun to ply it. * * * Ho has shown us that there was such n thing us being protected too much and that wo had protected our shipping interests so effectually that they had ceased to bo pro tected by ceasing to exist. In thus limiting the field of his warning nnd his counsels ho has done wisely , and wo shall do Wisely in following his example. Senator Morgan , of Alabama , said : "Sec tional lines of distinction no longer exist , and Wo arc at last ono people. I object to that system which wrings money from the j copla to bestow upon political n p.iiitlons , bo they frit-lids or otherwise. The questlou is , shall we cut do\vu Hie revenue to our wants , or sho.ll tvo keoj ) this revenue year after year , fir shall we dry up the sources of this rev enue nnd stop this wrong to the country ? " Congressman Breckenridge , of Kentucky , snid : "Protection is never healthy nor in the long run profitable any more than fever ish strength fid restlessness produced by stimulants is evidence of health. The present rates of taxation are unequaled , onerous . and hurtful to the mass of those employed in \ ho indiistt ios pi ofcsscdly noughtto bo protected , and so far OK taxation i unnecessary for the necessities of govern ment , -economically administered , It Is un justly Imposed nnd illegally gathered from the people. 'A reduction of tnvution and rc- vision of the tariff must be made gradually nnd cautiously , with the constant remem brance that systems long cstabliscd cannot In ? rondily changed and that grave practical difficulties lie in the path of rniy reform. In the nature of the case nil protective tariffs must have an element-of Instability and un certainty. There iiro a few to whom this system is indeed x honiui'af to nit others it is nn injury and wrong.

Ofllcers of the Heading railroad company ami the committee of the Knights of Labor came together again this morning and parted after n short but stormy session. Chairman Leo and Ben * nett , member of the executive committee of the knights , called at the offlco of the company tins morning nnd Rent In their names.'to Superintendent Swclgard. Leo informed a reporter that the committee had called In response to a request of the superintendent. Superintendent Swelgard said ho would talk to Lee alone , but Leo said Honnett and himself Avero' members of the executive committee and that' tire superin tendent would hnvo to talk to both of them or not at nil. 'Swclgard said ho refused to recognise any committee , Whereupon Leo and Bennett left. Leo was afterwards discharged from the company's employ. Uniformed policemen guard every entrance to the Port Richmond coal wharves. There has been no tioublc of any kind. All trains , both passenger and freight , moved as usual. TUo vanguard of the delegates to the con vention of the Heading railroad employes , to bo held in this city to night , arrived this forenoon. Every local assembly of the Knights of Labor in' the anthra cite region , embracing the Schuyl- klll , Lehigh and Wyoming regions , will bo fully represented nnd the meeting will be ono Of the most important that has been held for a long time , as it will dccido whether the Knights of Labor will pool their issues in the fight und .stand together or let tbo rnllioad men light their own battles. New YOIIK , Dec. 20. Austin Corbin , piesl- dent of the Heading railroad , defined the po sition of the company to wauls its employes in a letter sent at nooli to day U > McLcod , general manager , with instructions to com municate Its contents to the men. In It ho says : "To such of our old employes who Imvo stood faithfully by up wo feel obliged mid " thankful , and shall not forget them , butttio time has now arrived when all'of our employes will bo require/I to dccido whetiier they ex pect to retain their places by reason of hoycst uw' ' faithful service und prompt obedience to orders of the company that employs them nnd pays them , or blind obedience to the direction of the Knights of Labor tnroiiKh which organisation the loaders hope to cpurco us into .employment of men \ \ lie consider the flrst obedience duo to that order. Men that stand by us will have employment with rpasomiblo hours and good pay. Men who do not will never bo allowed on the road nga'.n under nny circumstances. We have never objected to labor organizations and do not not now. Every man shall bo free to belong to ono or not as ho pleases , but orders cjinnot nnd shall not dictato'to this company ns to whom it shall employ or how to operate its property. HDAIUNO , Pa , Dec. 20. Two hundred and fifty delegates representing the Heading r.iil- roiul and coal nnd iron company's employes met hero to-niplit. The majority of delegates present seemed to think that the strike on the railroad was for most part over , nnd tlmt the convention should dcvoto itself to doing the best it could for the miners , unless the men In this city should rccansider their for mer action not to blriUo. The Secret ol' tbc Strike. Nnw Yonic , Dec.20. . The Evening Sun says : "Though the strike on the Rending system seemed to como suddenly , yet re liable information indicates thu t it is part of a long conceived policy dictated by Powderly nnd these who net with him. The Heading system was not the ono originally aimed at by Powderly. In fact ho wus pretending to be friendly with that system-so that ho might usetit nnd his.strength among its em ployers as a rinb to boat the other railway systems of Pennsylvania. Some time ago Powdcl ly decided to boycott- , every road in Pennsylvania except the Heading. Secret orders were sent out Instructing very as sembly to carry out this boycott , but these orders were transmitted id n different man ner from all previous or tiers to boycott. In stead of sending out an official circular , he dispatched agents to many parts of the coun try to request that all frcightthat was possible should bo diverted from -other roads and shipped over the Heading. In this way ho hoped , to boycott the Pennsylvania , Le- high Valley nnd other roads secretly. The strike on the Heading is taken by these arc on the inside as indicating the failure of the IxiycotU They did not get the freight and passengeis for the Heading- that Powderly intended. It was the executive board's pur pose , after dlvci ting this business to the Hen ding , to demand certain- things of the managers. Failing in this they ordered a strike in hopoxif gaining- stopping trains what could -not bo got otherwise. It is a curious thing that the alleged cause of the fitriko is because the employes were asked hy the company to hundlo some of the vciy freight ttio boycotters had caused to bo di verted to the Heading.

Minister Ashford brought out the Honolulu rifles with the intention of subverting the govern ment at oneo , but the success ot the de sign was prevented by the officers of the vessels whoso throat stopped the proposed insurrection before any sanguinary trouble occurred. The king's vetoes are among the chief fe.Uuies of contention.

Another Short Ijlne Between St. Jo * Hcph and ChlcaKo- St. JOSEPH , Mo. , Deo. 20. [ Special Tele gram to the BKH. ] Mr. W. A. P. McDonald , president of the St. Joe extension of the , Atchlsou , Topeka & Santa Fo , to-day re ceived n telegram from Mr. A. A. Hoblnson , oniciully announcing the completion of the extension of the road to this city and inviting the soliciting committee to tnko a ride over the line at such an hour Friday as wauld suit their convenience. The committee is com posed of the following gentlemen : Gcorgo J. Englohardt , C. A. Shoup , E. L. Marnoy , J. , S. Drlttaln nnd W. A. P. McDonald. Mr. McDonald said to-day that the committee had not yet decided about the details of the trip. If only the members of the committee make the trip it will bo rather n small party , nnd it is not nt all unlikely that a few of the more prominent citizens will bo invited to at tend. When it was first announced that the Atchlson , Topckn & Santa Fo would have its lines completed to this city by the first , of the year , the idea was laughed nt as preposterous. At that time the (30,000 which was necessary to induce the Santa Fe company to extend' Its line to this city had not been subscribed and the piospects for its over being raised , looked exceedingly gloomy. The committee went heroically to work , each member mak . ing it a personal matter , and the tioccssury amount was finally secured. The great ob stacle in the way was the belief , which was shaied by a KKSi many , thst the road would * bo built anyhow. This obstacle was finally overcome , the money was subscribed and now the same committee annouuco the completion of the road. Hogular trains will be run over the road Sunday. The train will run , for the time being , between Topoku und St. Joseph via Atchison , nnd then over the St. Joseph & St. Louis , which will bo op- crated after January 17 with the Atchison road to Lexington Junction. The Chicago , Santa Fe & California , which is now building between Kansas City nnd Chicago , , wlll be in operation within four months and commoting , with the St. Joseph , St. Louia & Santa Fe at Lexington Junction , will make that route from St. Joseph to Chicago just one mile. longer than the Hannibal , the shortest route between the two cities. Chinese Can Import Opium. SAN FHAXCISCO , Doc. 20. Judge Hoffman has rendered a decision in the United States district court in which the right of the Chi- ncso to imixnt opium is sustained. In De cember , 1SSO , custom house authorities seized a quantity of opium.vnhicd nt nearly $200,000 , which had b"en shipped from Panama to Woo Sing & Co. , of this city. The opium was held in virtue of a clause in the treaty , which forbids the Chinese from engaging in the opium traffic. Judge Hoffman holds thnttho treaty is not self-executory , and countess , having adopted no legislation , Jherc was nothing to prevent the CMiieso from engaging in the business.

[ N6W York Herald Cable Si > cclal to tjio BEE , ] , Maurice Bornhardt is married and settled. "Lo Petit Maurice , " on his friends now affectionately call him , was married to the daughter of n real live princess. A prince an , ! princess for the bridegroom , remember ) 's ' the son ofa trag edy queen. The avenue d'Eylan ' quarter was all excitement yestcfdify. Cnb after cab , carriage after carriage were dashing toward the scene of the nuptqaj drama , pedestrians uninvited nnd invited tuosts trudging along besides them bound in the sarno direction. By noon , the hour fixed for tha ceremony , thcro must have been u couple ot thousand people gathered about m front ot the little church of St. Honore do Eylnn. Police on duty forced them back to the right nnd left of the gates. At least a thousand people had tickets for the church , .which"was very small and soon crowded : -It was n curious congre gation , sach as you seldom BOO at mass. Ac tors and actresses , in all the glory of their paint and feathers , artists and men of letters , ladies ot the world and ladles of the half world. Scattered among them were a host of eager foreigners , Americans and English chiefly. All Paris and a stoong detachment of strangers were dying to sco La Tosca and her daughtcr-ln- law. Such a restless congregation , too ; such a rustling of silks , such a hum of convcrsa- tiqu ; friends and rivals of La Tosca compar ing notes and whispering scandal , you would hnvo fancied you were nt a premiere of a dress rehearsal , only the scats were not so comfortable and the house was freezing. The babbling nnd rustling grew so very loud nt last that the priest stepped forward tojtho altar rails to admonish the people. It didn't chock the chatter a bit , though. The choir was all ublnzo with lights. Hundreds of candles nt the altar and in the chandicbra were grouped about the altar steps nnd where thcro were no lights thcro were flowers ; masses of roses , white and red ca- mcllas and azalias set In a frame of green .palms , ferns nnd evergreens , Against them flushed _ the scarlet of three littio acolitcs , swinging censors. Among a hundred other social , literary and artistic celebrities in the church , you might have seen Mile. Harlot , Victorien Sardou , Mile. Dudley , Prince de Sagan , Alfred Stevens Whitticr , Lc Comte do Lisle , Jules Clarctia , AJcxandro Dumas , Mmo. and Mile , do Hull , Gcorgo Clalrin , DueMounot Sully and the prettiest actresses of all the boulevard theatres. The biidcgroom , following the bad tradition of country , wore an evening dress. Ho looked very handsome , In a boyish way , and scorned very proud of his little bride. While the orran pculcd out a processional hymn the wedding party took their places before the altar , Sara on the right , the Princess Jablonowsld's mother on the left , the young couple In tho' , center. The bride was trembling a good ijlcttl. Sara had much diBlculty in stifling her * emotion. She was suffering from excitement nnd had a fit of hoarseness. The scrvfio was impressive. The choir of Porto Slj. Martin sang the Vcni Creator. M. Pistiui , assistant conductor of the saino theatre'played a cello solo. Joubcrt , the Amcrican'vtollntst ' , ulaycd a ro mance , "SansParoles of'Slvorl. " M. Lorran , of the opera , treated us to a scrrcncts "Ave Maria , " and the choir did wonders in "Gou nod's Laudato Nominuin. " Much curiosity was felt as to what M.'Lo Cure would say to the happy couple" Ifis task was delicate enough , but he performed it very tactfully , making a graceful J allusion to the artistic triumph of the bridegroom's mother , exhorting La t Tosca's son to remember that' ' ifropi i his youth ho hod been famillarwith hoblo thoughts und reminding both young people of the debt they owed their mother for her care and solicitude nnd called on them to live purely and honor ably. Sarah was devout enough to have pleased the pope. The bride nnd bridegroom were equally submissive. When mass ended the wedding party niovod into the sacristy where for half an hour they stood receiving embraces and congratulations. That ordeal was over at lastand _ the wed ding cortege once moro treaded in through the nislo to the church door where the spec tacle of the briuo and her mother's long trains carried by two servants gave much satisfaction to the crowd. As La Tosca is sued from the church a oiiecr went up. Hide thy diminished head , brave Boulangcr. Sara , as usual , made a charming hostess. She had a kiss or n hearty squeeze for each new arrival. "Long before the re ception was over she was exhausted. Sara , who had managed , however , to change her costume , now sat radiant in a necru brocade tea gown , covered with plush wrap , richly trimmed with fur. The lucky man was very busy , but found time to have a chat with the Herald correspondent. "Where did you meet your bride ? " said the corregixmdcnu "Hero , in this very house , a month and a half ago , " replied the blushing bridegroom , "but she had known my people for some time. It was u case of love ut flrst sight. We hnvo so many tastes In common and the princess is so charming , " said Maurice , look ing very conscious , "You to " smilingly are very young marry , remarked the correspondent. "I'm twenty-three , " ' replied the bride groom. "Bettor got married , then" ho did not complete the sentence. "Aro you going to spirit away your bride for the honeymoon ! " Oh , no , I huto the idea of n honeymoon and traveling. "Wo shall settle down quietly nt my place hero for a month or so and go off with my mother when she starts on her European tour , halting just wherever our fancy bids us. " Happy , happy bridegroom.

Newton Boors , with uniformly good sup- pert , delighted a largo audience nt Boyd's last night in the powerful spectacular melo drama , | 'Lost in London.11 The play is ono that appeals strongly to the lovers of the emotional and sensational It is full of in tensely interesting situations and a rapid suc cession of incidents , while n vein of bright comedy runs through each act. The author , with much felicity and rare constructive ability , tells the pathetic story of the fall of a lowly Lancashire mariner's wife , her ho- . , guilcment by the blandishments of un ac complished villain to the great city of Lon don , her luxuriant , but unhappy and re morseful life there , her final discovery by her noble but broken hearted husband , their touching separation , retribution , death. Mr. Beers impersonated Job Armroyd , the dis honored husband , and did the best work of the evening. He niudo n picturesque figure and his acting was well studied and forcible. Jessie Li-o Hundolph played the misguided wife , which might bo considerably impioved upon , yet , while considering the fair quality of the whole , it would bo harsh to criticise. Lunrcnh Hccs , as Gilbert Fcatherstoue , the villain , was much nt homo in the role. Johnny Williams , ns Benjamin Blinker , was effectively comical , whllo Jennie. Settcrlfco portrayed the sterling character of Tiddio Drngglcthropo in un inimitable manner. Other parts were well taken by Charles Hay- wood , H. Charles , Annie Sticknoy , Helen Varry nnd Agnes Wildo. The ballot was ono of the most attractive features of the per formance. What it lacked in quantity it made up in quality , the dancing of Mile. Tercsinn Carlottn , the premier , being really inost artistic. The "revels of the nymphs of the lake" is a picturesque creation , and ns good a ballet divortisemeiit us ono sees in many a day. Over these terpsichorean dis plays nnd the concomitant splendors of costume - tumo and scenery the audicnco was uprorl- ously enthusiastic. The North British pan pipe singers , Messrs. Brunton , Knrcshield , Guilmettc and Haywood , made a decided hit. They constitute u most pleasing quartette. The clever llttlo dialect comlquo. Johnny Williams , likewise was received with much favor. Altogether , Newton Beers and his company in T'Lost in London" nro well cul- culatcd to catch the popular crowd. DAW CllOCKBTT. Edwin Mayo , last night , after four per formances ut the Grand Opera house , closed his flrst senson'in Omaha , in the popular and beautiful play "Davy Crockett. The BEU has already spoken in. detail of the per formance of Mr. Mayo , and has take occasion to comment a great deal on his work. He has every incentive to hisuro success the pos session of an historic name , the desire to perpetuate it , a linoand , piece in which it has long been famous , together with a more than average amount of intelligence , energy nnd talent. His performance last night was the best of the season , as indeed , was that of all members of the company. Olga Verne ap peared in Eleanor Vaughn for the first time. She is young , petite , pretty nnd intelligent. If her work last night is to bo considered nn evidence of her ability she will render Mr. Mayo excellent support. Personal Paragraphs. Dr. S.

"Wesloyan Christian Advocate : Among my first recollections was seeing my mother take down u copy of Crier's almanac , which was suspended by a string to the mnntlopiecc , to see about the changes of the moon. Robert Grior , the maker of this wonderful al- munac , was a very plain man , who lived and died yeans ago in Butts county. During his life time ho made calcula tions for the almanac ? , nnd almost every family in Georgia at least had a copy of this almanac , and relied ou it for such valuable information. IIo pretended to toUvhcn it would rain , ana raauy nther things. Ho was considered n wonderful num. Altliox'gVi ° hns l > con &cti& many years , Gricr's almanac still lives. After Ills death the calculationa were made by Thomas P. Aslunore , until ho failed , 'and they are now made by his nephew , Pro ! . Otis Ashmoro ono of the most intelligent uducators In Georgia. Once it is said Mr. Grior wns riding along the road when ho came to where u boy was , holding the calf by the ears while liis mother milked the cow. IIo rode up to make some inquiries about the road. lie addressed the boy and said : "My son , can't you open the gate for mo , BO I etm go a near way through the plantation ? " "Yes , " said the boy , "if you will pot down and hold the calf ; and if you don't mind you will get u good wetting before you go far. " Mr , Grior rode off nnd opened th < j gate himself , giving but llttlo lic d to what the lad said , for he iooked above and saw no sign el Tain. Ho rode on for sovornl Stiles , and true enough the oloutln began to gather and teen it wus pouring uown rain BO that Mr. Grier soon became thoroughly drenchedHo was so anxious to know the weather sign that he rode back to inquire of the boy how ho knew BO well it was going to rain. Ho wanted to secure so import- R-rtl a wt-ather Mgu. He found the boy and said : , , , . "My son , I will give you a silver half dollar if you will sell mo how you knew it was going to rain. " The little follow promptly replied : "Dad's got ono ol old Grior'b almanacs , and he said it wasn't going to rain , and ho is buch an old liar about the weather I knew it would rain. " He had no idea ho was addressing the old gentleman himself. Mr. Grior paid him the 50o and rode off , amused at the iioor opinion the boy Had of him as an nhtmuno mnkur. DRIVEN BLINP'ANPINSANE. Ho ] lira of Suffering For n HIi I p wrecked Crew. Now York Times : Three feeble and suffering survivors out of a crow of flvo hearty in on who sailed the schooner D. and E. Kelley out of Norfolk hnrbor last Friday were brought into port yesterday by the Norwegian steamer Odon. Cap tain Define , from t'ort do Paix. Two of the survival's were colored men John "W. Coleman and Prank Taylor. Their logs were badly swollen , and they had not yet sufllcloiitly recovered from the effects of their trying experience to bo ou their feet. The third survivor was the mate. David B. Campbell , who , al though his Imnds were badly frostbitten , is about again. The D. and K. Kelley , it seemed , had a cargo of lumber on board for New Haven. Captain W. C. Taylor , an ex perienced skipper of Providence , was in command. On Saturday afternoon , when the vessel was twelve miles east Of Phoenix Island , a heavy squall came up. and Captain Taylor headed for the Delaware breakwater. Soon afterward the wind shifted ahead , and iu order to avoid going ashore it was necessary to put about and head out to sea. At 0 o'clock in the evening , during a terrific snow squall , the dockloxl shifted and the schooner was thrown on her star board beam ends. The crow sprang into the port main chains , where thov clung for life , while the vesfol drifted through the blinding snow toward the ehoro , where she struck at 11 o'clock. A sea then washed over the port side , where the crow clung. The steward , a young colored man who had boon shipped at Norfolk , relaxed his hold 8a and was swept away. For an instant ho was scon struggling , then a flurry of snow swept over him , and when the wild whirl had passed away ho had dis appeared. boon afterward the dockload wont overboard , carrying with it the mtiiii- mast. After being relieved of this load the schooner slowly righted , mid at midnight the four survivors crawled on to the quarter deck. The cabin had been swept away and the forward part of the vessel was completely under water. At 4 o'clock in the morning the wind changed to westward and the wreck floated off and driftqd out to boa. When the eastern sky grew bright and the stormy waves began to assume dis tinct forms , the survivors began nn anxious day's watch. Their supplies had been washed awny , and the pangs of thirst and hunger were added to the sum of their misery. Dusk found them still watching and hoping for the HUC- cor which came not. The mate passed the gloomy watches of the stormy night in looking for the lights of some passing vessel. The two colored men forgot thirst , hunger and exposure for the time in bleep. Soon after midnight Captain Taylor started up nnd cried out that ho could not sco. His sufferings had resulted in blindness. Then his mind began to wander. "I cannot sco ! " he cried , "I am thirsty nnd hungry ! Have tome one take me to a hotell" Then ho reached out his hands and groped for some ono to lead him. The mate finally induced him to sit down on the deck. IIo made a few incohcrant remarks and then sank back , and his bonso of suffering' ' gave way to the peaceful calm of death. A moment later the body of the poor old captain was washed overboard. At 8 o'clock the next afternoon the survivors were picked up by the Odon , on board of which they were treated with every kindness. AN EARTHQUAKE EVERY DAY. Terrible SufTcrlntf Occasioned by the Shocks In a Mexican Town. A Nogales dispatch to the Globe- Democrat says : Colonel ICosterlitzky , who is in charge of the national fron tier police at Bavispo , was iu town last night. Ho painted u woeful picture of the present condition of the earthquake sufferers. He said that the Mexican government had quite recently sent them plenty of provisions , but that they hud an insufficient quantity of wearing apparel to keep themselves warm. Their huts on Refuge hill , which are constructed of ocatilln poles nnd grass , offer but slight protection from the weather. "Winter has sot In with sleet nnd snow , and the mortiry has registered loworso fur than for many previous years. The few houses which were con structed on the site ol the destroyed city about a month ago have been shaken to their foundation. At most the survivors have but enough clothing to cover their nakedness. Their sufferings are greatly aggra vated by the severe cola weather. It is not an easy task to depict their sufferings. Imagine a hill covered with snow and dotted with over ono hnn- drcd huts , in which , on account of their inflammability , no llrcs are burned. In them are upward of 150 men. women and children , buried in hay , with old rags covering their shivering bodies. The earth quivers , and like HO many rats from their holes , pour out the cotton nnd calico clothed barefooted people , expecting to see the earth yawn und swallow their hill. For hours they stand without their huts with the ther mometer at zero , fearful lest moro shocks will conic. The past month has boon ono of unceasing terror to nil. Some days the rccuvrlng trembling would not experienced , but juHt bo hiire as u , day clamed without them tUtt following day n succession of shocks , so strong in na ture as to innko standing impossible- , would follow. "While there has been no now rifts opened in the earth by them , heavy bowlders have been displaced from the mountains nnd rolled thunder ing to the valleys. To this horror add a small band of murdering Apaches , and x-ou will have some idea of the con dition of affairs at Bavispc. In the past three weeks four men have been buried who werw murdered by them. At present u detachment of fcdoralb are encamped near Refuge Hill. An escort from tins body is detailed daily lo protect tno wood choppers who furnish wood to the camp. Throe bucks , among whom is the celebrated Ellas , the half-breed , and four squaws , have been fscon. It is positively known that they escaped at the time Gerouiino was captured , -aim have been depredating ov&r Einco , al though they have \r cn chu&od into the Stats several times. United rn na v. * * * * * v.-n uiu opinion of many that the earthquakes will continue at Bavispo until a volcano bursts forth. A gentle man who hub made a btudy of volcanoes and their origin in Central America , is pronounced in the opinion that it will not bo long before one of the mountains in that vicinity will bo vomiting flrc. HISTORIC LOGS. Punctured With Inrtlnu Ilulletii JOO Years ARO , They Do Duty In n Hog Pen. Now Derry , Pa. , correspondence Now York Sun : On the prcmibcs of John Cummins , of this township , are a corn crib and a plgsly , each ol which IB built of logs. The logs are thickly punctured with bullet holes , and the Imitate that made them are still em bedded in the logs. The logs were cut more than 100 years ago by Colonel Pomoroy , ono of the UrMtBOttlorain what is now Westmoreland county , who bulU a log cabin in the wilderness with thont for himself and family. Pomoroy was n famous Indian lighter , ns was Major Boll , who lived with his ( tunly ) in a cabin half a mlle distant. Ono day Colonel Pomoroy'n cabin was attacked hy a band of India'ns. Pomoroy barricaded himself and family In the cabin , and the Indians besieged them all the afternoon , llrlng frequently Into the log walls. The firing was beard by Major Boll , who crept through tbo woods ( o the spot. Seeing that the In dian force wast too strong for him io attack ho returned home , placed his wife and two children on his two hot-son , and talcing a circuitous route through the woods , approached Pomorov's ' be sieged cabin from tbo roar. } lo sue- , coeded In signaling tbo colonel , > and Pomoroy managed to got away from his/ / cabin with his family undercover of tho' woods in the rear. His wife and chil dren mounted tbo horses behind' ' Mtijor > Boll's wife nnd children , nnd thu party- ewapcd to Fort Wallace , live miles dl& taut , without the Indians disi-overiiifj. thorn. Soldiers were sent back to at tack tbo Indians , but they had difjtm- penrcd. Tbo bullet-punctured cabin was occupied 6v Colonel Pomoroy and , descendants of his until 1810 , wlion It was purchased by JOhii Cummins , who tcro it down and mtulo his pig-pen and corn-crib out of its historic logs. 1 Ono of Major Boll's descendants , Hv' Ing In the same neighborhood , has the gun with which that noted Indlitn lighter nnd revolutionary noldlor used In all of his exploits. Ono of these which is related us an OH ] > eclnlly inter esting and characteristic feat of the major. Is to the effect that once un In dian , in an endeavor to entrap the wily and greatly feared enemy of his race , iniitutcd tbo call of the wild turkey near tbo major's cabin. The major was n great lover of turkey hunting , mid hia practised ear detected a difference bo twccn the call of the bird and tbo bound of tbo Indian's fall , although tbo imita tion was almost perfect. Ho took liln gun and dragged himself on his stomach through the brush iu Hie direction of tbo sound. Ho finally located tbo call in a tall pine tree , and discovered tbo Indian porcbed on a branch near the very top. Major Boll fired and the In dian leaped high above the tree top und tumbled to tbo ground. The dead lu- dinn was recognized by tbo major aa Black 'W'olf , ono of the most daring and bloodthirsty of tbo Soneco cliiula. PrcssinR Merry "Wall's TroiisorH. Some time tigo , while tbo original "Erminio" company waa playing an on- gagoinoii'u.ln "Washington , W. S. Dnboll , the Inimitable RavonncB of the cast , oc cupied nt a Washington hotel , with his wife , a room which had just boon va cated by Berry Wall. After Mr. Daboll had boon in tbo room a couple of days a messenger cnmo to him ono morning saying that Mr. VaU hud sent for a pair of trousers which bo bad lorgotton on leaving. Tbo iietor searched the clo ot3 but found * no trousers except his own. The messenger loft , returned soon , bay Ing tbo trousers were under the bed. Mr. Dnboll searched and allowed tbo messenger to search , but still no trousers could be found , A third time the messenger came , bogging pardon for giving the actor so much trouble. The trouttars , bo said , would be found between the mattresses in the bed , where Mr. Wall bad placed them to bo pressed. Mr. Daboll turned down the mattress , nnd there , Buro enough , were a pair of trousers , stretched out very carefully and creased as nicely by being slept on by 190-pound Actor Daboll as they would have been by tbo most careful tailor. Mr. Daboll laughed heartily at the king of thd dudes' method of pressing his trousers and then gave thorn up to the messoii-- ger. Later bo wrote tbo following and sent it to Mr. Wall : "Mr. E. Berry Wall dr. to"\V.S.DaboU \ nnd wife. To pressing ono pair of trous ers. $1.50. " The actor hns as yet secured no settle ment with the king of dudes. A Sliowninn'H Trick. ' St. Louis Globe-Democrat : We are continually deceived because wo are so much dibposed to take things for jubt what they soom. You have seen a show man sink into a tank of water with a lighted cigar in. bis mouth , and after remaining at the bottom for a minute or so , during which atnoko uomos up through the water , emerge with the cigar slill between his lips , uuoxtln- guishcd ? Of course you have. And you bad no doubt Unit bo was really able to smoke under water. But a uhowmnn who Jilts retired on the profits of gulling the public now tells how It is dono. Says lie : "Just us I throw myself back ward , to go down , I would flip tbo clear end for end with my tongue und upper lip , get tbo lighted end in my mouth , closing my lips "water tight around it. A little slippery elm juice gargled be fore going in prevents any accidental burning of tbo mouth. Going slowly down backward , I would lie at full length on the bottom of the tank and blow bmoko through the cut end of the cigar. JuHt us I readied tbo urfaco again another flip reversed tbo cigar , and there I was smoking calmly. The reversing is done bo quickly that nobody notices it.
