METEORS AT SEA.

The Panama Star and Herald says :—A few weeks
ago we reported the narrow escape of the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company's steamship Lima from
destruction by a meteor which fell into the sea in her
close vicinity. The United States man•of-war Alaska
has recently met with similar good fortune.

Captain Belknap, in a report to the department,
states that on December 12, a few minutes after sun-
set, a loud rushing noise was heard like that of a large
rocket descending from the zenith with immense force
and velocity. It was a meteor, and when within
some 10deg. of the horizon it exploded with great
noise and flame, the glowing fragments streaming
down into the sea like huge sparks and sprays of fire.
Then came the most wonderful part of the pheno-
mena, fcr at the point in the heavens where
the meteor burst there appeared a figure like the
shape of an immense distaff, all aglow with a bluish-
'white light of the most intense brilliancy. It kept
that form for perhaps two minutes when it began to
lengthen upward and grow wavy and zigzag in outline
from the action of the wind, and gradually diminish-
ing in breadth until it became a fine, faint spiral line
at its upper end, dissolved into the fast gathering
clouds the meteor seemed to have evoked.

This strange phenomena inspired every one on board
with terror, for had the meteor struck the ship it would
have been the last of the Alaska, and no one would
have been left to tell the tale of her loss. This
strange manifestation of the forces of the universe
again suggests a perhaps unthought of cause of many
disasters at sea.

A MAMMOTH SAFE AND AN IRON
STRONG ROOM.

On Saturday last a number of gentlemen assembled
at the works of Messrs. Chubb and Sons, Glengall-
road, Old Kent-road, London, the occasion being the
private view of an iron safe of extra large size which
has been constructed for the Government of the
Argentine Edpublic, and an irnn strong room which
is being built for a London bank. The safe, which is
fire and thief resisting, is Oft. 30in, high, by 15ft. 9inn
wide, by Bft. 4in. deep, and is made of wrought-iron
boiler plate half an inch thick, secured by angle irons.
The thickness of the walls is made up to sin, by an
air chamber and cases of non-conducting material.
The doors are of steel and are secured by a number
of heavy bolts, which are locked by a small key. Each
outer door has also an inner and independent flame-
proof door. The interior is fitted with shelves, and
offeis the necessary accommodation for the deposit of
papers and other matters. The total weight of the
safe is 43,9881 b., and its manufacture has occupied
four months. It is now to bs taken to pieces for
shipment to and re-erection at Buenos Ayres. The
strong room is Oft. 61n. high, by 17ft. 3in, wide, by
15ft. deep, and its total weight is 54,4661 b. It is not
of fire-resisting construction, as it is to be built into a
fireproolroom. It is however, constructed of lin.
Iron plates, 60 in number, and the roof is supported
by girders, and the sides and floor are connected by
5501 t. of thick bars and angle iron. The cubical
contents of this room will allow 100 persons to stand
In it, and will permit of the storage of £48,000,000 in
gold.

THE INTERNATIONAL FISHERIES
EXHIBITION.

It was announced at the meeting on Monday last
of the executive committee of the Great International
Fisheries Exhibition, 1883, that the Government of
Russia, Spain, and France have intimated their inten-
tion to participate officially in the exhibition, and have
appointed commissioners. In the case of Russia and
Spain, applications have been made for a large quan-
tity of space. In order to meet this addition to their
exhibition, the committee have decided upon the
erection of three more large buildings, providing an
area of about 22,000 square feet in addition to those
already erected.

AN AMERICAN SAMSON.

The Troy Times gives an account of a man who was
but little known outside of the village of Granville
Corners, in Washington County, where he was born
and spent the most of a long life, who is known to have
performed feats of strength unsurpassed by any man
that has lived in ancient or modern times, excepting,
of course, the Biblical Samson. His name is or was
Steam Carpenter; his occupation was that of
a farmer. He was a very quiet, peaceable
member of the Society of Friends. One of his
greatest feats was lifting a box filled with iron which
weighed 1,900 pounds, which is equal to lifting 3,800
pounds in a harnen. He lifted it with ease with his
hands by grasping a rope or chain which was bound
around the box to secure it. He did not know the
weight of the box of iron at the time, and was after-
wards heard to say that had he known it weighed so
near a ton he would have put on the other hundred
pounds and lifted the whole. At another time he
lifted a cannon that weighed 1,400 pounds and ghoul.
dered it.

At Comstock's Landing, on the Champlain Canal,
near Whitehall, one day while waiting for a load of
merchandise, Carpenter lifted a barrel of white lead
with ease. His neighbours when killing hogs, if
Steam happened to be around, would ask him to
guess the weight of a hog just killed. If it happened to
be a big one weighing 400 or 500 pounds, he would
stoop down and twist his fingers into the bristles,
and in that way would lift the carcass clear
from the ground and guess on its weight.
He performed one of the greatest feats of
strength on record after he had reached the age
of seventy-five years. He lifted two twenty-four
foot iron rails by grasping one in each hand,
and walked off with them. The rails were resting on
wooden horses, so he did not stoop to lift them. Mr.
Carpenter wa, not a gigantic man in size. He was
about six feet tall, and appeared much less than that
owing to his massive build. There was no superfluous
flesh upon him, but the muscles of his arms, shoulders,
and neck seemed to be piled upon him, so great was
their size. This gave him a stooping appearance.
Mr. Carpenter is living at the present time at Gran-
ville Corners, Washington County, N.Y., his old
home, or was living the last the writer heard of him.
He must be over eighty years of age.

PRINCE NAPOLEON IN ENGLAND.

• Arriving in England on Monday night, Prince
Napoleon, accompanied by his younger son, Prince
Lours, and a gentleman from Paris, drove to the Buck-
ingham Palace Hotel.
On Tuesday the party left London for a brief visit
to the Ex.Emprees Eug6nie, at Farnborough, where
they arrived by ordinary train a few minutes before
two o'clock in the afternoon. It was not previously
known in the village or even by the railway officials
that such eminent visitors were expected, the only
sign of preparation being the fact that the Duc de
Bassano was in waiting for them with one of the car-
riages from the mansion of Farnborough-hill.

M. Pietri assured a correspondent that the visit of
the voluntarily exiled Prince to the Empress was
entirely of a family nature and had no relation what-
ever to political affairs. There is no reason for stating
that the Empress has identified herself in any say
with the views of the Prince, nor had she any know.
ledge of his famous manifesto previous to its publica-
tion. It is simply as a matter of courtesy that the
Prince desired to devote his first visit to England to
paying his respects to the widow of his Imperial
cousin.

The visit was a brief one, the interview being over
in time to permit of the Prince and his son and at-
tendant returning to London by the train which left
Farnborough at twenty minutes to five o'clock. The
train arrived at Waterloo Station at ten minutes to
six o'clock, a little before its appointed time. The
Imperial party were not recognized on alighting. In
the evening the Prince and party dined at, their hotel.
He wished to enjoy quietness and privacy during his
visit to London.
Since the return from Paris the Empress has suf-
fered from a cold, brought on by the unfavourable
weather, but otherwise she is in fairly good health.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.

The London Gazette states that the Queen has been
graciously pleased to signify her intention to confer
the decoration of the Victoria Cross upon Lieutenant
William Mordaunt Marsh Edwards, 2nd Battalion the
Highland Light Infantry, for the conspicuous bravery
displayed by him during the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, on
the 13th of September, 1882, in leading a party of the
Highland Light Infantry to storm a redoubt. Lieu-
tenant Edwards (who was in advance of his party)
with great gallantry rushed alone into the battery,
killed the artillery officer in charge, and was himself
knocked down by a gunner with a rammer, and only
rescued by the timely arrival of three men of his
regiment, •

ALLEGED MURDER OF A WIFE.

On Tuesday a verdict of wilful murder against a dead
man was returned by a coroner's jury at Gosport. On
the 22nd of September a labourer named George Farmer,
say..gely SFS tulted his wife, sged 64, with a frying-pan
and broke her thigh. He kept her without food and
declined to let the neighhours bee her. She remained
three days practically unattended, when the matter
came to the knowledge of the relieving ( fficer, who
called in the parish medical officer. The place was so
filthy that both officials were seized Witt, illness, and
it was necessary to remove the woman to the work-
house before she could be medicaily examined. On the
Inth of the present month the husband, who ha i been
drunk ever since the occurrence, was picked up in a
ditch dead, that being the day onwhich it had been deter-
mined to take the woman's depositions. She lingered
on till Friday in last week, when she died. At the
inquest, as stated, the jury returned a verdict of
"Wilful Murder" against the husband.

A MOTHER MISTAKING HER SON.

Among the applicanta at the Thames Police•court in
London on Saturday was a wciatin who complained
that she had been swindled. She stated that a few
weeks ago a young man applied for lodgings at her
house. When he stated that he belonged to the Royal
Navy she readily took him in and showed him every
attention, because, she said, she had a son in the navy
too. The young man said be knew this son, and
had served with him, and that was why he had
come to that house, being sure that "the mother
of sunh a man must be a good woman and juit
the sort of person for him to stay with while in
London." 'The woman confessed that she was
favourably impressed with the young man, who
in a week said he could keep up the deception no
longer—that he was the long absent son. The
woman was incredulous at first, because, as she
explained, her son was taller and of different com-
plexion. The young man, however, explained this by
saying that a foreign climate had changed his com•
plexion and the colour of nis eyes; and that "bard
campaigning had pulled him down." The woman's
husband had no doubt on the point, and said she wal
a fool not to know her own boy, adding that he was
"sure all along that he was their son." She was con.
vinceri, and raade more fuss over him than ever. One
d...y he wanted some money "to go on with" until
his own wai sent. He got £56, and very Boon after
disappeared and has not been heard of since, the
woman's son having in the meantime communicated
with home and announced his speedy return.—The
magistrate could do nothing for the applicant except
advise her to be a little less credulous in future.

VIOLENT ASSAULT IN A RAILWAY

CARRIAGE.

On Friday night in la-st week, Mr. Arthur L. Cooper,
living at Reading, was attacked in a brutal manner by
a lunatic while travelling on the Great Western Rail-
way. It appears that he had been to London and was
returning by one of the evening trains. He travelled
as far as Maidenhead with two gentlemen, one of
whom there got out, and Mrs. Smith, the wife of a
solicitor of Henley, entered the carriage. Mrs. Smith
and Mr. Cooper, who are friends, entered into con-
versation, and soon after the gentleman travelling
with them .uddenly attacked Mr. Cooper with his
fists, beating him in a savage manner, and rendering
him insensible. Mrs. Smith was unable to make the
communication cord act properly, so that the train did
not stop till it reached Twyford. She then informed
the station-master of the occurrence, and the pollee at
Reading were telegraphed to be in waiting.
The offender was taken to the police-station, and
examined by a medical man, who declared that he was
not responsible for his actions. His name is said to be
Arthur Shelley, having a brother at Plymouth, and he
is described as an artist, He was brought before the
Reading Borough magistrates on Saturday, and ordered
to be detained till some of his friends appeared to take
a of him.

It has since been ascertained that Mr. Corner's
assailant is Mr. Arthur Shelley, an artist of consider-
able note, reridimi at Plymouth. Ala brother, the
Mayor of Plymouth, fetcher' him from Reading, and
has plaoed him under medical care in his own house.

SINGULAR TRIAL FOR MURDER.

At the Chester Assizes on Monday, before Lord
Justice Beggsllay, Emily Elizabeth Scott, house-
keeper, was indicted for having, at Stalybridge,
murdered her male child, aged twelve days. On
August 9 the prisoner was delivered cf a child at a
lodging•house kept by Mrs. Lees, at Southport. Two
days later she paid the would send the child to Ireland
to be nur=ed. On Itugumt 12 the prisoner lett Mrs.
Leer' house, ostensibly for Liverpool, en route to
Ireland. Later the same day, two Stalybridge trades-
men, named Steel and Booth, who had been to Man-
chester on business, found among their parcels the
Amid body of a child. It was suggested by the prote-
oution that the prisoner first murdered the child and
then slipped it among the parcels belonging to Messrs.
Steel and Booth. Mrs. Lees identified the child as
the prisoner's.
At the close of the case for the protecuti•,n, the
learned Judge asked Mr. Higgins if there was any
evi.lence to show that the murder was committed in
Cheshire.

Mr. Fllggins raplfed that the body NISB found at
italybridge, two-thirds of which was in Cheshire,
wt,i:st one•third was in Lancashire. The part of
Stalybridge in which the body was found was in
Cheshire.

The Judge said there was no evidence to show that
the murder, if murder it wee, had been perpetrated at
.'3taiybildge Station, in Cheshue. Al the evidence
..tood he certainly should not send the case to tue
Jury.
Mr. Higgins pressed his lordship to hear the medical
evidence. This went to show that laudanum had
been f,tir.d in the prisoner's box, that laudanum had
been administered to the child, and that it had been
put into the parcel alive with a handkerchief over its
month and face.

The Judge said there was still no evidenoe Ito show
that the child had died in Cheshire. He had 'sever
been in such a difficult position before. He should
discharge the jury on the ground that they had no
jurisdiction, and he ordered that the prisoner should
be again taken before the magistrates at Stalybridge
haiing Lancashire jurisdiction.

THE ALLEGED FRAUDS ON THE
RIVER PLATE BANK.

- - -
In London on Tuesday at the Gnildhall Police.
court J. D. Watters, the stockbroker through whom
the late secretary of the River Plate Bank transacted
his Stock Exchange speculations, was again brought
before Mr. Alderman Whitehead, and Warden was
subjected to a severe crose•examination, In the course
of which he said that he had taken the securities as
opportunity offered. Under ordinary and honest cir-
cumstanoes it would not require three persona to get
the securities. The strong room was a receptable for
anything that was meant to be preserved. The door
could be opened with two keys—his own and the
accountant's. It was the rule, when he wanted to
go into the strong room, to take with him the
accountant's key. The accountant, when he went
to the strong room, would take his (witness's) key.
He had never opened the safe himself. The direc•
tors had always done so. He had not taken the
securities when the directors were present, but as
opportunity afforded. He might have represented that
the securities were required, or they might have been
removed with the cognisance of a directcr for the
detachment of coupons and not returned. The director
might not have been on duty on the following day when
the stock should have been returned. He in that case
had been culpable in not informing the other directors
that the stock had been taken out. Another means of
obtaining the stock wee to place in the strong box,
before the director, stock purporting to be what it was
not in quantity. It had never been the practice for the
directors to count every bond. That had been the duty
of the security clerk previous to any stock being de-
posited in the safe. The accountant checked them with
the security clerk and handed them to the witness,
who submitted them to the director. The director
was guided by the labels on the stock, and did not
examine every bond. If waste paper bad been sub.
stituted for bands he thought it was highly probably
that the substitution might have been detected. He
had taken stock in the presence of the directors while
their attention had been directed to other matters. The
safe had been opened nearly every day to deposit bills,
and it was on such occasions that he had abstracted
stock.

Other evidence having been taken the case was ad
jonrned till Friday.

Referring, at an extraordinary meeting of the River
Plate Bank shareholders, to the defalcations of George
Ward.n the secretary, Mr. G. W. Drabble, the chair-
man, said the directors had ....dyed vu rec.imuoild•
log, on the ground of good business policy, the replace-
ment of the stolen securities, and the indemnification
of their customers, and a motion to that effect was
unanimously carried.

BELATED EXCURSIONISTS.

A party of over 700 excursionists, who left Ports-
mouth on Monday morning on a visit to the Fisheries
Exhibition, passed through some remarkable experi-
ences on the return journey. They left Waterloo in
15 carriages at half past seven, au ,1 did not arrive at
Portsmouth until half past two on ruesday morning.
On the train reachirg a spot between Godalming and
Haslemere the gradient was found more than the over-
aded engine could surmount, and a stoppage took
place. In order to get over the difficulty the train was
divided into two, and the eugine proceeded to Hasle-
mere with the fore portion, where the carriages were
shunted on to the up line. The engine then returned to
the after part of the train. In the meantime, how.
the shunted carriages began to run down the incline
in the direction of t'ortsmouth. Seeing the appraach-
ing carriages, and appreciating the gravity of the
situation, the Haslemere signalman promptly shunted
them on to the down line, and they proceeded with
great velocity until near Petersfield, when they were
brought to a standstill by the level character of the
ground. Having walked to Petersfield, the excur-
sionista found the news of their accident had pre-
ceded them, and that steps had been taken to arrest
the progress of the carriages. There was no panic,
the passengers not being informed of the position in
which they were placed until all danger had been re-
, moved. Eventually, on the engine returning with
I the after part of the train, the c trritw es were re-
coupled, and the excursionists strived at Portsmouth.
