[ roj/rf/W } / | / JSTrt by Jaino foiilnnfcmi'lM PAUI , May2-Xow ( ) ( York Howilil Cable Hpcchil to Tin : nui : . ] At 11 o'clock thl morning the steamer La Onscoguo ladtiei passcngeisnt Havre. Tlio trip from Now York bad been n slow one , but there wort good reasons for delay ; In fuel It win nlmos u nilraclo that tlio Moamer cvc reached Havre at nil ; almost n miracle that she is not lyitif , now at the bottom of the ocean off Sclllj Islands. This Is how it Impponed : On Sun day morning La Oascogno was steaming ahead at half speed , enveloped iu n dense fog The hour was 0WJ : u. in. A few minutes before tlio sounding bad been intulo mid thirty fathoms of water regls tored. The last bearings had been takei Friday noon , but since this Captain Santfilll bus been uniiblo to i-stablish nny reckonings on account of tlio Impenetrable fog ; bo know , however , than in the natural e.ourso t he steamer must pass close to Scllly Island As an extra precaution ho bad headed the vessel two points more away frou .possible danger. Such was tlio situatioi when eight bells sounded. La Guscogno was moving on slowly In 11 culm sea , witli foui men at the boats , u man iu the cross trees nui Captain Sautelll and u third onlrer on the bridge. Most of tlio passenger.- ? were below when the miracle occurred. A bank of dense fog suddenly lifted , ns a curtain rise. ? from n singe , and rovcHlcd dead ahead , so eloso that one could have tossed a biscuit on It , u blacir , ugly rock rising a few feet out of the water mid showing a surface as largo ns n bil liard table. The four men at the bow saw the danger llrst und waved their arms fran tically with a backward motion. Tin- captain saw the signal and under stood it like u Hash. The moment for action bad come. He leaped past his subordinate olllcer , seized the wooden handle of the electric dial and four times in rapid succession described a half circle with tlio level , that told the engineer to reverse the engines as be valued his life. 1 hen with another bound tlu captain readied tlio wheel , and with all bis might threw the helm hard- aport. He had done all human might could do. With tight shut lips and whiten ing cheeks ho clutched the spokes and waited. The great ship trembled from end to cud. and the engines reversed almost at the same time. A slight shock was felt on the port side just about the line of the biidiri ? . Then a retro grade movement began. Gascogno slid gently off the rock and backed away into safety. Then tbo same impenetrable fog settled down again und the rocks van ished. 'Phut was where the miracle e.ime iu , for had the fog lifted a few minu.e-i la'er , or had not lifted at all , nothing could have saved the ship Irom destruction. An investigation proved 1 hut the vessel's iron sides had been torn open by the shock , and that the se.i wi.s . pouring through a rent which lay below the water lino. The cargo was promptly shifted so as to raise the wounded part us far out of the water as posslhie. In thl' . way the Gas- eogno otimo into harbor. As soon us possible after the accident a Herald corresi undent , who chanced to be among the passengers , in terviewed Captain Sautelli. "Wlult was the rock wo struck ! " "Sir , it was a small member of the Scilly Islands' ragged shoulders ; it was n narrow escape. ' ' "Hut how do you account for having been so far to tlio north J" "It certainly is very strange,1' answered the captain , "especially as I hud to head the vessel out to sea for extra safety. I nan only account for the extraordinary devia tion by assuming that wo were borne to tbo north by seine unknown currents. I liavo made over two hundred voyayes mid have never heard of such cur rents. The extent of the vessel's deviation from u normal course is shown by the fact that the rock struck , which is known as IMshop's island , lies at llio opposite side of n group to that on which the Gascoguo should have passed. On that self sumo rock tlio Schiller sank some years ugo , when hun dreds of lives were lost. " Hut for the miraculous lifting of the flag wlu-ro would Gascogno bo today with her gal lant captain and crew , ami her -M4 passen gers ? Tlio danger came and went so quickly that there was no panic on board. Only a few passengers were on deck when the accident occurred. Mr. George I'arkorof Now York expresses himself ns follows to a Herald correspondent : " 1 saw the rock ahead almost as soon as the captain. I saw other much larger rocks on either side further back. Sautelli's calcula tion was made in an Instant , but It was cor rect , and wo were saveu from an awful catastrophe. Had the worst como to worst I suppose uwo could bavo lauded in boats , as tbo sea was quite calm , but bad the weather been stormy all hands would have been lost.

In April bo read In .ho Now York Courier that Kyraud had licit 'roiu Now York with omo Turkish goods in ils vallso.

There was another request that on memorial day , at 1 o'clock iu tlio afternoon , tlio commissioners inspect the police force on Jackson street , be tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets.

Oftlcer Cox asked for a live days' leave of absence , to begin May ' , ' 7. In executive ses sion the commissioners granted the lime. Fireman Smith asked for ten days off duty , with pay , which he got. A committee from the Grand Army of the Republic asked thai the members of the tire department take their machines and join the Memorial day parade. The request was granted , with the understanding that the men should not go north of California street. C. K. Squires appeared before the board and tnivo tbo members a talk on street sprinkling. Mr. Squires , in the interest of the Harbor asphalt company , was of tlio opinion that too much water was pul upon the streets. Said he : "If your street cleaners will do their work better not half us much water us is now used will then be required. The dinicully now is , tlio dirt is loft upon the streets until they are a bed of mud. This in jures both the block and the asphalt prtve- nient , and the only way out of the difllculty is to place the matter iu llio bauds of the chief of police and let him order the stones siuinkled. when in his opinion it is neces sary.1 The matter was referred to the com mittee ou rules und ordinances. On iK-count of tlio numerous recent ilrcs which have originated in basements , this com mittee on ordinances reported an ordinance that had been received from the council , rcl- utivo to the accumulation of paper , boxes and rubbish in collars and basements. The re port of the committee was adopted and the matter was placed in the hands of the chief of police and the chief of the tire department. Commissioner Gilbert of the committee on finance filed u report , in which ho recom mended that not * exceed 50 should bo ap propriated monthly in payment of detective services , und that the board of tire and police commissioners should have power to approve all vouchers for the expenditure of this money. After suggesting that a copy bo sent to tf'io city council the report was adopted.

Tlio secretary of the board wns instructed to notify tbo city council that the police and lire departments bad removed from the old city hall , and that llio commissioners would no longer bo responsible for city property stored in the old building.

Fred worked for O.sborn & Cliooseinan in their mill nt Ansoniii. says n Middtotown npo- ciul to the New York Sun. A week ago ho Htoppcd briskly about the wide room of the factory , hut muldc-nly his foot flipped on a grouse spot in the Iloor. ilo WIIB hurled violently against a table , nnd hia throat was bruised und punctured by its Hliurp edgi- . After regaining his foot ho essayed to speak but could not do BO intelligently. Tliero was a deep , inar ticulate rattle in his throat , nnd Hint was till. Several medical men examined his talking apptrutuM : , gazed nt it through glasses , and confessed they could see no reason why Couch couldn't talk. Still there wns no doubt nbout his inability to do so. The doctors fcaid they had never Been or rend of such a cnso before. Tlio organs of speech were not seriously dnm- aged evidently , but they simply wouldn't work. Think'ing of no better ndvico , ( hey told him ho hud bettor go out into they country , eat frugally and live quietly , and just wait for the vocal in- hlrtimeiit to get in order again. Fred followed the prescription- started for Great Harrington , Ahisp. , witli his wife and child. Suddenly on tlio train he was afllictud with a violent nntl unaccountable itching in the throat Unit nearly made him wild. lie walked the car in distress and the passengers wondered. After a while ho took a seat next to a car window , his wife by his ' side , and gn/.ed indifferently sit' the gliding landscape. The train was approaching preaching Great Hnrrington and he rec ognized the changing scenes. An un wonted emotion overcame him , and finally he turned toward his wife and exclaimed in a full , deep voice : "Mother used to go by that road. " The words were the first ones Couch hnd spoken since the necidcnt and Mrs. Couch wns so overcome with joy she wept. Then the piissengers wore ap prised of the singular incident , and there was a general jubilation on the ( ruin.

If there is any harmony iu the police de partment it is probably for sale at n very low figure , ns tlio men apparently have little use just at present for any such article. They don't claim to bo harmonious , and do not want to bo until several changes are mado. There is a difference in opinion in regard to this very matter , as the hqml of the force is exceedingly desirous that harmony should reign supreme , and it is ou this account that there is grief in store for some of his sub ordinates. Tbo chief is ou the warpath , and the flat has gouo forth that several of his rebellious patrolmen must go. Officer Uyau was this first one , and ho stepped down and out Sun day night. The chief desired to lay him oft for insubordination , but Hyan wouldn't have it that way , and insisted that if ho was laid off at all it would b3 for good. The chief did not object , and Mr. Ivy an is airuiu a private citizen. He does not submit tamely to tbo charge , however , and proposes to have an investigation , for which there is at pres ent a very general all-around desire among the men. Hynn stated yesterday that ho did not know why ho was laid off , unless it was because - cause ho was so unfortunate as to discover a horse thief , who had managed to slip by Cap tain dough. It was ho who discovered Williamson , ttio horse thief wanted at Avoca , und ho telephoned to thu sUitiou a description of the fellow to see if such a man was wanted , as ho suspected that ho stole the team ho was driving. Ho was informed that no such man was wanted , but Captain Clough imme diately loft the station .and arrested the fel low , as ho tallied with' the description of a man wanted at Auamosa for horxo stealing , und there was a letter at tbo station Tifforing $11X1 reward for his capture. Kyan claims that the captain wanted to frce/.o him out of the reward if there was any. and also secure the credit for the capture. Ho says that the captain and chief make a practice of doing that very thing , und ho attributes his lay off to the fact that ho presumed to say that ho was entitled to credit for making the arrest when the police register g.ivo the credit to the captain. Ilo said that the chief blamed him for having a baud In circulating the petition that was referred to in Tin : HII : : u few days ago , but he declared that ho did not circulate the petition , sign it or even see It , and did not know who did. Hynn is considerably Incensed over the sit uation and his indignation is very generally shared by the other members of the force , Suld ono of them yesterday : "This thing Is getting blank-blanked rocky , und It has gone about far enough. Wo have been set down on long enough nnd something will drop pretty soon. We'll all get It hi the neck be fore very long , because wo started to get up that petition mid hjivo tbo council nvestlgnto mutters. The chief made u bluff and seared the hoys so thnj , they laid down. Ho said that if wo kept cm , with that petition business wo would iiH bo discharged and it now force put on. Ho know that it would como to n general -walkout anyway , so , bo made his bluff. Ho didn't want to.bo loft without a man and have to put on an entire force of given men , so ho tried miothoi' plan and it worked.
