1t was q submarine cave hewn out Oi

which had undoubtedly been made
thousands oil years ago, was thickly

explorers took to be leaves first wetted

in color and solidity, the cake from 6at-

On further examination almost COM

hardened and almost petrifed leather

leg, which contained the right extremity,
that limb having been removed about
midway between the hip and knee. -

THE TELEGRAPHIC CONSOLIDATION.
Condition Of the Atlantic b Pacific Co.

NEW YORK, August 3o.-The Graphic
in it's money article to-day says: The
effort to depreciate the value and power
Of the Atlantic 8 Pacific Telegraph Com
pany with view TO inducing the stock
holders to accept q nominal considera-
tion from the Western Union Telegraph
Company for turning over its property

tanned that Notwithstanding the great
misfortune of Gen. Eckert's illness the
lines OF the Atlantic Il Pacific have dur
ing the spring and summer been greatly
improved and new lines constructed.
The earnings have increased materi-
ally during the worst season of the year
for telegraph business. With the i'm

The latest discovered preventive Of

that an engineer on board the French
steamer ST. Laurent, after making some
repairs in the boilers, left accidentally
therein an ingot OF zinc. Some time after,
in searching tor the bar In the generator,
in which, meanwhile. the steam had been
maintained, he found, to his surprise,
that the metal had disappeared, and also
that the incrustation LETT by the water,
instead of being hard and firm, was a
mere mud, easily washed out. Repeat
Ing the experiment, during another voy-
age, the same result was reached. !t.is

markuble circumstance, concludes that

WHAT THE HERALD SAYS ABOUT IT.
NEW YORK, August 30.-The Herald
this morning, editorially, referring tc
the reports in circulation Of the probable
consolidation Of the Western Union and
Atlantic Il Pacific telegraph companies,
says: The public will take but little
interest in the terms Of the negotiations,
looking upon the whole scheme as sim.
ply a stockjobbing enterprise.
The conclusion OF the alliance Will vir.
tually bring TO all end all those pleasant
dreams OF cheap telegraphin9 with which
the managers Of the two lines amused
the public some few months ago. What
ever objections there may be to the Gov
ernment taking the telegraph, there is
no danger SO great as that which threat
ems 1T now.
Once permit these desperate specula'
tors, such II man, for instance, as Jay
Gould, to take possession OF the tele'
graphs, and we haye one of the most i'm.

pleases on the telegraph, and make it 80

WASHINGTON, August 30.--A few
weeks ago it was stated that the Secres
tary had ordered a, rigid examination
into affairs Of the distilIeries on the Pa
citic coast, and reports to-day, received
by kilograms from Government agents,
are to the effect that for years there has
been systematical defraudlng of revenue
by the manufacturers OF brandy. Tie re.
port also indicates completely on the
part of internal revenue officers. Seiz-
ures will follow, and prosecutions will at
once commence against several promi-
nent business firms in San Francisco.
A heavy rain fell during almost the
entire day accompanied bythunder and
lightning at intervals. The Potomac has
risen considerably and the streams and
sewers are overlooking the low grounds
filling the Easements and. cellars with
water and doing considerable damage.
The depot Of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad was surrounded by water and a
portion of the building was submerged
most OF the day. The storm ceased about
sun down. Al Georgetown considerable
damage is reported from the same cause

Encouraging Business Prospects
"A Fearful Criminal Record.

"A Fearful Criminal Record.
NEW YORK, August 30.-A general
good fall and winter business is antici.
pated for New Workers. A REVIVAL in
business is already noticeable. The dry
goods dealers say they are selling more
this month than they have sold dur
ing any corresponding month for
some years past. The Bank of Califor-
and other recent failures made no
decided impression in financial or COM
mercial circles here.
Last night as one of the cars Of the
Bleecker street line was passing the cor
ner of New Bowery and James streets,
an unknown man jumped on the rear
platform, and, without saying word, he
drew knife from his pocket and
stabbed Abraham Clark, the conductor,
inthe lett thigh, inflioting several
wounds. The Would-be murderer es-
capped.
Thomas Hannihan and Banks Clancy
engaged In fight in lager beer saloon.
Clancy struck his opponent several
times and stabbed him in the back with
4 knife. Intiicting several severe wounds,
and then escaped.
There was a terrible stabbing case in
the Seventeenth Precinct yesterday
disClnoous OOScpu I6CuOfObkJ, u L Oi-
ish tailor, plunged q knife into Mrs.
Mary Warskensky's' breast up to the
hilt. He followed this with six other
blows in different parts of the body.
Her son came to her rescue and wrenched
the knife from Pechovosky, who WAS
then taken prisoner. Mrs. w arskensky's
wounds are pronounced fatal.
The murder perpetfated on board the
schooner Josephine Lloyd, in Cow Bay,
l.. l., Friday night, was Of q most afro
cious character. Captain Lawrence and
the mate, whose name Is at present un-
known, had an alteration ON the deck,
and afterwards in the cabin. When the
remainder of the crew, two boys, opened
the door of the state-room the body of
the unfortunate captain was discovered
covered with blood, and chopped in a
shocking manner with an ak. The muir
dered mans hands were tied together,
and not the least signs OF life could be
found In him. The captains pocketbook
had been rifed, and the murderer had
gone. A rumor WAS current at City
Island yesterday that tho assassin had
been captured, but it has net yet been
confirmed.
About noon to-day Mary Callaghan, a
widow, aged 4S years, was found lying
dead OH the floor Of her residence, No.
1893 Southfeld avenue. There appears to
be but little doubt that the woman had
been kicked. to death by her son, Thomas
Callaghan, aged 2S S.years. Both had
been drinking hard.
