REMARKABLE PHENoMENoN-FaH of a
Meteor by Dayligh.-The New York Evening
Post gives the following account of the phe-
uomenon which occurred near Yorkville
Tuesday morning, and which has been briefly
noticed by telegraph:
This morning, at halfpast nine o'clock, a
meteor was seen to fall in a due southerly di.
rection and to disappear behind the houses on
the easterly side of Broadway so abruptly that
1t must have struck the earth very near the
city-perhaps at South Brooklyn or near
Greenwood. The apparent size of the nucleus
was about one foot in diameter, and the length
OF the tail, by the same scale of proportion. as
about twenty feet; the shape being cone.
taperlng to fine point at the top. The color
was that of bright yellow fire, and its brilIiancy
may be estimated from the fact that this color
developed itself 'above the brightness of the
sun" as the sun was shining at the time
through cloudless sky,
The same journal in another accout partially
revises its judgement, and says:
The falling body did not as near as could
be ascertained, leave any ash or fragments
upon the ground. Conjectures were rife about
the matter, and in the absence of Mr. Merriam
the prevalent opinion was that OF one of the
numerous balloons which the scientific anna
teurs in that section of the city have been SO
fond of initiating and setting off has exploded.
and the expanding gas taken fire, produced
the remarkable appearance. The general
superintendent telegraphed to inquire whether
the great balloon at the Central Park was safe
and received for reply that all was correct
The affair has created much excitement.

EXPULSION OF STRANGERS FROM CHARLES

happier sphere Their last moments were

long preyed upon them, and although in GER

series of violent spasms, which began vester-

twenty four hours, causing great public anxiety.
the crisis came. and the destiny of Nessrs
Jewett and Hoyt was decided. The victims
had all along appeared singularlv blind to dan
ger, and even up to the solemn announcement
of their impending fate were perfectly uncon-
scious of their precarous position. When in
formed that their Charlestown life was about
to terminate, they manifested a careless nm
concern, which found expression in winks
and furtive smiles, revolving TO the in
stincts of their advisers. Such evidence of
hardened impenitence checked whatever
flow of sympathy their mistortunes might
have given rise to- and they were sternIv ad-

bow. knot in which his hair is tied over his
forehead, and breathed murmurs of satisfaction
at the peaceful manner of the exodus. The

had been bestowed upon them by the departed,

RosALIE BoNHEUR, as she is called in her
acte de naisSance, was born in Bordeaux on the
10th Of March, 1922. Her father, Oscar Ray
mond Bonheur, was a painter Of merit, who
had in youth taken the highest honors at the
exhibitions of his native town. He devoted
part of his time to giving drawing-lessons in
families for the support of his aged parents
An attachment sprang up between him and
one of his pupils-Sophie Marques lovely
and accomplished girl. Her family opposed
the union on account of the artists poverty;
and after their marriage the young people were
thrown almost entirely on their own resources.
Rosalie was the eldest of their four children.
Her father was compelled to give up his
dreams of fame and the higher labors of his
art, and for eight years maintained his family
by teaching drawing. -Mrs. Eilet

The spot where "Uncle Toms Cabin stood

his suggestion that the case should go to the

District Attorney Sanford opened the case for

that it had been announced in print that this
was case which no District Attorney would
dare to try fairly and no jury to convict, on
account of certain influences. But he relied
upon the impartiality of the jury. He stated
leading facts which they expected to prove, and
closed by saying the main fact on which govern

FRACTURE OF GAS PIPE.-One of the
main pipes, on Mechanic street, through which

yesterday afternoon, but not till so large a
quantity of gas had escaped that the city was
in imminent danger of suffering total eclipse.
The break was Immediately repaired, and the
Gas Company was able, by keeping their
works in active operation, to furnish light
enough at least to show US what shadows we

retire, the burners shone with their accustomed
