ELECTRIC LIGHTS AT SAFFRON the
London World. 1.-THE utility OF electric
lights for ocean steamers was forcibly Illus
trated during the last voyage OF the Fara-
day from New York. 1t would seem that
during thick fog near the banks OF New
foundland, at 10 O'Clock at night, she sud-
denly discovered large emigrant sailing
ship Immediately under her bow. The
brillancy of DR.. Siemens's electric light
revealed the danger Just in time to enable
the captain to reverse the engines. and the
two ships passed each other at 4 distance OF
a few feet. The screams Of the women and
children. who had hurriedIy collected on
deck, indicated the hopelessness OF the Still
alton in so far as they were concerned, ana
it is morally certain that the lanterns ordi-
nariy used by Transatlantic steamships
would have failed to penetrate the fog SUI
ticiently to have made it possible to avoid a
collision, and more than hundred lives
might have been lost.

A most complicated and curious question
has been submitted to the First Con- ptroiler
FOR adjudication. 1t arises out OF the pay.
ment 0. claim to one OF two persons OF the
same name-one an Alexander Anderson,
OF Am ella county, Va; the other an Alex
ar der Anderson, OF Augusta county. Va.
Roth claims were for abort the same
amounts, and both for proper y destroyed in
the lase war. They were passed upon by Con-
gress, that Of the former being rejected, While
the latter was passed. In framing the bill
the name OF the county in both instances
was omitted, so that the Treasury had only
to nav one Of the claims. AS lack would
Rave it. the person whose claim was re-
iected presented himself first through his
attorney, Mr.. II. G. FAINT, banker OF this
city, for the payment Of the claim. The
money was paid over; after which the other
Anderson presented himself, and after an
explanation convinced Nr. Gilfllan that he
was the D. oper claimant; but OF course the
appropriation out OF which the money was
to be paid had already been exhausted. MIR.
FAINT was then called upon to return the
money, but lie declined, saying that when
he had received it he had paid it over to
Anderson No. /, when his power OF attor-
ney expired. Anderson No. was called
upon, but be said he had spent the money
and was insolvent. The only way lett,
therefore, was TO obtain the passage OF a
new appropriation 10 pay the claim. or
course, Anderson No. . was very in
dignaDt that he should be made SUI
ferer for 4 mistlke Of the Treasurer,
whom he held personally responsible:

"A claim which was passed for his relief, and,
when he presented it for payment the Trea-
surer deducted the amount paid linn
through mistake on account OF Anderson
No. 1. and this brought Mr.. FAINT and MIR.
Gilfillan into n controversy. There being
no probability OF reaching satisfactory So
luton OF the problem, it was referred to
he First Comptroller. who says it is the
most intricate question he has ever been
{. He'd upon to solve. The claims amount
to several thousand dollars.
