The Storage of Petroleum.

The memory of the terrible accidents
and loss of life resulting last winter from
CONGREGATIONS in petroleum warehouses
ought to be kept before the people of all
our cities as a perpetual warning, and it
becomes the duty of Legislators to prevent
the accumulation, in our crowded markets
of trade, of any large quantities of a ma
terial little less dangerous than gunpow-
der itself. So valuable an article of COM
merce merits every consideration, and
nothing should be thrown in the way of
its continued progress. But it is of essen
tial Importance that precautions should be
taken by the authorities in order to save
the lives and property of those who are
so situated as to be in danger from its i'm
mediate vicinage. We observe with
pleasure that the Secretary of the Treas
ury has issued a circular notifying all col
lectors of internal revenue that he regards
it but a just %precaution, that whenever
applications are made for the storage of
petroleum, or its products, within the
limits of any town or city, the collector Of
internal revenue should forward to the
department a statement that the ware
house if established will not, in case of fire
other property, or the lives of
living or doing business in its vi

the United States Government will follow
the dictates of the Mississippi Convention
and liberate JEFF. Davis, the jackson Nelos,
One or the leading, papers IN Mississippi,
has originated q pleasant little project for
the purpose of assuring the distinguished
President of a defunct Confederacy of the
respect, affection and honor in which he is
held by the 'lOyaT citizens of a "recon-
structed" Union. 1t has come out in a
leading article recommending the pur-
chase of a magnificent homestead for
presentation to him, or, if he should pre-
fer to reside in Europe, the collection of a
sum mot in Confederate notes. sufficient
to enable him to live in state. The mo
dus operandi of this delectable scheme is
this-that every surviving soldier who
has at one time or another, either Directly
or indirectly, been engaged in the Confed-
crate service, shall subscribe one dollar
to the fund; commissioned officers to con-
tribute at their discretion. 1t is c~aleula-
ted that such a subscription would amount
in the aggregate to half a million of dol
lars; and it is proposed to make it exclu-
sively a soldiers testimonial. This is the
spirit already prevalent in the South,
ever before it is re-admitted to an infu-
ence in the national councils. If these
things are done in the green tree what
will be done in the dry?

The latest advices from Chill are con-
tanned in the New York papers of Mon
day. The blockade of the ports by the
Spanish Admiral Pareja still continues F;
but some few vessels have been permitted
to enter and clear at Valparaiso, while
some have been ordered off. No further
action has been taken by the diplomatic
corps in Chill in relation to the illegality
of the blockade. Pareja, with only seven
vessels, declares all the ports, lover forty
in number) closed. The fear which for a
time existed that Pareja would lombard
Valparaiso, seems to have subsidized. Chill,
determined to maintain her national dig
nifty, is making every preparation possible
to carry on the war into which she has
been forced. Telegraph lines and roads
are being opened into the interior and to
the frontier, which will in a measure COM
pensate for the loss of communication by
sea. All custom duties have been abolish
ed, and t~hirty-six coast towns have been
declared ports of Chill. This is done TO
encourage blockade-running, which will
no doubt in a little while be carried on
quite extensively. Letters of marque have
been issued in large numbers, and already
many persons nave left Chill to avail
themselves of them. Congress has spent
its time in devising measures the most
useful in the present emergency.

teen hundred guests the past season at the
Island House, we were surprised to see
so few Cleveland names. The reason, how
ever, is patent. Cleveland has no direct
and regular steamboat communication
with the Islands, neglect from which
she suffers severely in comfort, recreation,
health and business. The trade and
travel of the Islands and the Peninsula
have grown into very profitable proper
tons, as is seen in the crowded condition
of the four steamers running daily to their
ports from Sandusky and Detroit. A
proper sized, staunch and fast steamer,
well differed and managed, could not fail
of success between Cleveland and the
Islands, or on the route between Cleve-
land and Toledo, touching at the Islands.
Such a boat leaving Cleveland in the
morning after breakfast, could land pas
sengers at Kelley's Island or Put-in-Bav
in time for dinner, or at Toledo for u D
per. If she ran only to the Islands
named, making a trip up one day and
back the next, time might be taken to re-
ceive freights as well as passengers at the
Bass Islands, Marblehead and Fox's

Population and business have already
so Outgrown steam facilities that a consort
to the Queen between Put-in-Bay and
Sandusky is talked of next season, and
special boats have been chartered to aid in
taking away the grape, wine, and fish
products this autumn. We shall speak
further of this important matter to Cieve-
land as well as the Islands, after visiting
the Peninsula. J.AH .

The North Carolina congressman.

The election of Worth, an out-and-out
rebel, over Holden, a semi-U nionist, as
Governor of North Carolina, has already
been announced, but the character of the
delegation selected to apply for seats in the
next Congress has not yet been made
known. The Raleigh Progress says that
G. G. Clark has been elected to represent
the Second Congressional District, T. c
Fuller in the Third, Josiah Turner in the
Fourth, Bedford Brown in the Fifth, and
S. II. Walkup in the Sixth. Two dis
triets remain to be heard from. None of
these men are able to take the oath, and,
indeed, it has been the pet plan of
the disunionists who control matters in tho
old North state TO send to Washington a
Congressional delegation who will refuse
to take the test oath, and demand their ad-
mission in defiance of it. In this it would
seem that they have succeeded. North
Carolina will apply for admission to Con-
gress and the Union in the persons of men
who have been actively and openly en-
gagged in the rebellion, and who spit upon
the oath prescribed for all future United
States Legislators blythe loyal Thirty-eighth
Congress. Inasmuch as North Carolina,
the birth place of Andrew Jackson, was
supposed to be the most loyal and Union
of the late rebellious States, and as
the President hoped more for the success
of his reconstruction scheme from herthan
from any other, it must be confessed that
these facts do not hold out any very
hopes of the success of that policy.

Attempted Murder of n Superinten.
dent of Freedmen-The Assassin
Killed On the Spot.
The Savannah Georgia. Republican, of
November II, says:
"By the arrival of the steamer st. Hell
ena yesterday afternoon from st. Simon's
Island, we learn that in the latter part of
last month, one Sam. Whaley, attempted
the life of Rev. George II. Eaton, Superin-
tennent of the Freedmen on that Island.
The circumstances of the affair as far
as we have been able to learn them, are as
follows
1t appears that the negro, Whaley, and
another n named Hope Mcintosh, resi-
dents on st. Simon's Island, had refused
to perform their shares of the work on a
public road which is being built across the
Island, the labor of one-half day in a
month being required of each of the freed
men. Mr. Eaton, being informed of their
rebellious conduct, proceeded to the settle
ment where the two malcontents resided,
to exercise his authority, as superintendent,
in inducing them to go to work. Upon
Mr.. Eaton's addressing Whaley the des-
perate man levelled his guu at the super
intendent, and fired, but the piece was
struck to n side by a timely blow from
a ~bystander, a colOred man, and the bullet
passed by Mr.. Eaton without harming
him
Several freedmen. who had arrived at
the scene of the difficulty, Immediately
fired upon Whaley, killing him instantly.
Whaley's reputation throughout the settle
ment was that of a bad and dangerous
character. He had previously levelled his
gun upon Morris Mcdonald, (freedmanl
a sheriff on the Island, who had inter
posed between Whaley and the superin-
t%endent, and who finally saved Mr.. Eaton's
life.
THE man, Hope Mcintosh, who had
been the companion and abettor of Wha-
ley, and who was armed with a musket
aud a Ratchet, was Immediately taken into
custody. He was brought to the city un-
der guard, by Sheriff Mcdonald, last eve
ming, and is now lodged in jail.

NOV. II, 1909.
Put-In-Bay Island is the most inviting
and historic locality this side the giant
warder that guards the gateway to Lake
Michigan-the slightly and grand old
Miehillimackinac. The name is derived
from the fact that Commodore Perry put
in here with the United States Squadron
preparatory to his glorious victory over
the British Commodore Barclay on the
ever memorable 10th of September, 1913.
A little to the northeast of the quiet,
crystal Bay is Ballast Island, where the
youthful Perry ballasted his feet before
going to battle-and half a mile to the
northwest stands sentinel Gibraltar, with
bold, rocky face to the Lake, where Perry
had his Lookout and Signal Station.
Gibraltar contains about five acres of
rocks and forests-rises forty feet above
the water-and is now the new and beau
tiful summer home of Jay Cooke, the
great American Banker. The 10th of
September, 1853, the corner stone of a
suitable Monument in commemoration of
Perry's Victory was laid on Gibraltar,
mid waving flags, roaring cannon, and
cheers of a multitude of people. The
Monument is yet to be erected-but it is
intimated that in due time the shaft will
rise and the top-stone be brought forth
with rejoicing, under the auspices of our
eountrys liberal Treasury provider. So
mote it be.
Put-in-Bay is one offs cluster of Islands
rich in geological interest-the sports of
the gun and the line-Aowers, fruits, and
shade, in their season. 1t is centrally To-
Gated as regards cities, islands, and main

medallion Against the New Ronne1s

From the Philadelphia North American, Nov. IL.
The ladies are rebelling against the
winter fashion for bOnnets. The principal
of wholesale millinery house informs MS
that his customers never purchased "bOn-
net frames" with equal reluctance. The
buggy-top pattern requires a large amount
of material, and makes a very small show
for it. Moreover the show when it is
made is anything but graceful. To con-
struet a bonnet over the gig-top frame re-
quires th~reefourths of a yard of ma
terial, with ribbons, and lace and flow
ers Gd inJfnitum. The small bonnets of
last summer, that made quite as much dis
play, and were ten-fold more graceful.
required less than half a yard of material.
The consequence is that the fashion die
tated to the ladies is not accepted as fash
ions generally are, and that a good many
DANES and demOiselles are in epen rebel
lion, and refuse to accept the dispensation
of the Empress Eugene for the winter of
our Lord, 1865. This very unacceptable
mode makes the millinery trade compare
lively dull; and many a discarded bon
net will be revamped TINS winter which,
were the fashion a little more accepta-
bic, would find its way into the rag-bag.
