Thrilling scene at Sca-A Lady Pas.

Mr.. George A. Fairfield, who arrived
in New York Saturday, on the steamer
City of Brooklyn, reports a shocking
tragedy as having occurred during the
passage. When the vessel was two
days out from Queenstown, woman
rushed up from among the steerage
passengers, bringing her two little
boys with her. She then threw them
overheard in frenzy, and then leaped
overheard also. An alarm was raised,
the steamer stopped, aud boat sent
back. The woman, then a mile dis
tant, was seen floating on the waves,
supported by her clothing. She was
reached and taken into the boat alive !;
one of the boys was found dead, the
! other was not seen again. The children
were bright and pretty little fellows,
who had been the pets of many of the
passengers The mother was suffer-
| ing from sickness, and became tempo
rarIiy insane, in which condition she
committed the strange, unmotherly
act. She was apparently an intelligent
and refined person, in somewhat desti-
tute circumstances. She lived in Liv-
erpool, but her husband was in this
country, and with the children she was
on the way to find him. When the
City of Brooklyn reached New York,
the woman WAS just recovering, and
was beginning to inquire for her
children. 1t is singular that quite fire.

home that q man and a woman each
became insane on the passage, and the
man jumped overheard and was

Ravaxes of the Wor,a.

The caterpillar is said to be making
sad havoc in Columbus county. In
many cases whole fields are stripped
bare of foliage and the cotton plants
look as though they had been blasted
with breath of fire. Much damage
to the crop will undoubtedly result.

An Eagles Claw.
Our young friend, Mr.. Duncan I.

claw of bald eagle killed by him last
week, which measures inches across.
The bird itself was 6 feet 8 inches
from tip to tip of its wings. Mr.. Rob-
lnson also killed last week, in his
limiting expeditions, one fox and two
deer.

We learn that the storm which
visited this section last week was par

water, it is said, than has been known
III the last 90 years. The track of the
storm seems to have been more par
hcularly on line running from Eliza

Bluff, i'll Columbus. Along this line
ii damages have been pretty severe,
several mills having been blown over
and nearly all more or less injured.

place, and thus have, in connection
with the same, n kiln for drying lum

from the shops fortunately, too.
Well, this kiln was destroyed by fire,
together with about $500 feet of lum-

the purpose above alluded to. It
seems that the fire originated while all

tied during the past week, owing to
the depressed feeling which has char
acterized similar articles ot trade
There has been no speculative feeling
and the transactions were confined
principally to fill Western orders. On
Friday of this week, owing to the in
fiuences of the panic the market was
very dull and buyers could not be in
duced to operate at any prices. Sat
urday there was no reaction of feeling,
and the market was very dull during
the day and no sales TRANSFERRED. Mon
day the dullness continued and the
market declined cent. Tuesday the
previous days figures were obtained
on small lot, but buyers were not
inclined to purchase to extent, and the
market closed very dull. Since then
and up to the close of business to-day,
there have been no transactions re-
ported; The highest figures offered being
35 cents. The receipts for the
week 3,115 casks against 1896 casks
for last week, show small increase
The exports for the week 794 casks
against ], 800 casks for last week, show
all increase of 3, 201 casks. The stock
in market is II, 6;7 casks against 1921

CRUDE TURPENTINE-A tie
influences of the past week have had
the effect to rather demoralize prices.
First they have checked the operations
of the "bulls, who have kept the mar
ket in such an unsettled state for the
past week, and now the whole list OF
buyers are clears Under the infu-
ence and oppression of the latter the
market has been very dull, and prices
have declined during the week So cents
on yellow dip and virgin. At the close
of busine IS to-day the market is very
quiet and weak, and a further decline
is anticipated. The receipts for the
week l ,S75 bbls. against 1861 bbls. for
last week, show only small decrease.
The exports were about equal to those
