The Coming Transit Of Mer-
curry.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The chief sig
nal officer, General Myer, has addressed
letter to Rear Admiral Rodgers, super
intendent of the naval observatory, in
referance to the chances of favorable
weather for the observation of the ap-
preaching transit OF "Mercury" on May
9, and to the total eclipse Of the sun on
a table showing the probable Condition
of the weather at different places on
these dates. Thus at Virginia City on
May 6 the chances of favorable weather
are four out of ten; on July % they are
over seven out of ten. At Fort Richard.
son they are niue out of ten for both
dates. AT Pixies Peak they are only two
and one-half out of ten on either date
and so for the rest.

The Death OF General Baxine.

A cable despatch from Paris states
that rumor is current that ex-Marshal
Bazine Is dead. He was born in 1910,
in Lorraine, the native place Of Marshal
Ney, and in 1881 entered the French
service as a drummer boy. Four years
afterwards he obtained his first cam
paign against Abdel Kader. An enthu-
siastic soldier, he at the close of that
campaign volunteered unto the Foreign
Legion raised by the Christianos in
Spain, to combat the Carlists Of that day.
Don Carlos, deserted by his friends and
driven into France, Bazine returned to
the French service with a considerable
reputation as a soldier, and from that
time his promotion was rapid, the out
break of the Crimean war finding him a
general of brigade, in which capacity he
Commanded the French contingent
against Kilburne.

Baltimore Society Shocked.
HIGHLY RESPECTED LADY ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH THRIFT.

ShAheED WITH THhFT.
A sensation was produced in social
circles at Baltimore, on Friday, by the
arrest of Mrs. Alice Aspold, of Annapo-
lis, on the charge Of stealing two dia-
mond rings valued at 81 200 from Can
field Brothers & Co., Jewellers. The
lady came from Annapolis that morning
on the train, intending to join her father,
William Taylor, of the Naval Academy.
She entered Canfields and asked to be
shown some diamond rings, but left
without purchasing. Subsequently the
clerk found that two valuable rings were
missing from the tray and the place sup
Piled by two smaller ones of compare
lively trifiing value. An hour later Mrs.
Aspold was arrested at another jewelry
establishment, where she had also been
examining some diamonds, bnt without
purchasing any. She seemed shocked
at the charge, declared her innocence
and requested to be searched, which was
subsequently done, but no trace of the
valuables found. The lady was elegantly
atttired in deep mourning, and her ar
raignment in police station on the
charge of larceny attracted crowds of
spectators. She at once sent for Mr..
Duker, a wealthy citizen, who establish
ed her identity and entered security for
$4,000, and the accused was released un-
der bail to await the action of the Grand
Jury.
Mrs. Aspold is the widow of the late
Edward p Aspold, of the United States
revenue service, and, since his death a
year ago at Savannah, has kept board
ing house near the Naval Academy
having for her guests the United States
officers and their families. She Ia very
respectfully connected. While on heI
way to the train to return home she
tainted, but soon recovered. Her friends
assert their intention Of obtaining dam
ages for false arrest.

The Republican members of City Coun-
cil held caucus, last evening, for the
purpose of selecting candidates for Chief
and Assistant Engineers of the Fire De-
partment, to be elected this evening. The
result Of the balloting was as follows:
For Chief Engineer-Wm. Crea, of the
For First Assistant-Charles Lukens,
of the Weccaco.
For Second Assistant-Joseph Dutton,
of the Delaware.
The selection of a candidate for Chief
Engineer was not made until several bal
lots were taken. On the first ballot,
nj essrs. Tazewell, McCrea, Vandever and
the vote being as follows: Tazewell, 8 !;
McCrea, 3; Vandever, 2; Richardson, l..
Six votes were necessary to nominate,
there being only eleven members present
as President Lichtenstein was absent
| from the city
On the successive ballots, the results
varied, until finally, 1t is said, the oppo-
sition concentrated upon McCrea, giving
HIN the six votes requisite to a nomina-
| ton. The candidates for Assistant Engi-
neers were nominated without much con-
| test.
The result of the caucus was made pub
lie during the evening, and caused con-
siderable excitement among the firemen
The members of the Water Witch were
greatly incensed at Tazewells defeat, and
some of them swear all kinds ofvengeance
against the members whose votes contri-
buted to this result. They are to be
"marked" at future elections and ere.
warded according to their merits"
President Lichtenstein, who was absent
the abuse, as he was understood to be one
of TazewelPs supporters. This censure,
however, is unwarranted, as he gave fair
notice that he would be obliged to go to
New York, this week, on business, and
desired the caucus to be held earlier, so
that he might be present. His. request
was not complied with, and he was un.
able to be present last night.
Interest in the election continued una
batsd to-day, and the opponents of Nc
Crea still have faint hopes that some ar
rangement may be made to effect his de.
feat in Council, this evening. tits scarce.
ly possible, however, that this hope can
be reahzed.
The result Is a square victory for Coun
Gilman johnson, who worked earnestly
for the Fame Hose candidate from the
first. Councilman Windle, on the othel
hand, was Tazewelps firmest supporter
and stood by him to the end. The affail
has engendered considerable bad feeling
among the Republican members o.
Council, and may be the cause of much
political trouble during the approaching
city campaign.

Heat.

According to the grade of the ther-
mometer used in this country, the heat
of the body is about $50, and the boiling
point 212a. In France they use one
called centigrade boiling water being at
1000. A stranger visiting that country
and wishing to take bath, was asked
by the attendant, show warm will you
have it ?" and received for answer 1000.
He shrugged his shoulders, but he
thought he would accommodate his
ing into the bathroom he observed con-
siderable vapour, which, with the strange
manner in which the attendant received
his order, induced him to try the water
before entering it, and which luckily saw
ed him from being scalded. On return
ing to his hotel an explanation took
place in regard to the difference in the
grade of thermometers.

FUNERAL OF MRS. THOMAS YESTERDAY
AFTERNooN-HUNDRE Ds VIEW
THE REMAINS.
The funeral OF the murdered woman,
Mrs. Sarsh E. Thomas, took place yes
terday afternoon from the office of Mr..
d. Fox corner or Sixth and Shipley
streets. The weather was rainy and dis
agreeable but notwithstanding that fact
long before the body was ready to be
viewed by the public, people began to
congregate in the vicinity and at
o'clock 1t was almost an impossibility to
get near the building. Shortly after 2
O'Clock the doors on Sixth street were
thrown open, and rush was made to
gain admittance. The police officers
placed themselves one at the door on
Sixth street. and the other at the door
OF people kept going and coming until
3 o'clock, during which time hundreds
viewed the remains.
About 2 o'clock, Mr.. Thomas johnson,
accompanied by the two Oldest children
drove up in carriage, and a rush was
made by those standing around to get
glimpse at the suddenly orphaned child
rem: They were taken into the presence
OF the corpse, where they remained un-
til he funeral cortege started. They
seemed to be very much affected.
Rev. Mr.. Latrobe, OF Calvary p. E.
Church, conducted the burial services,
and in a very impressive prayer, asked
that God would forgive the father, and
bring him to realize the deed that he
had committed, and that it might induce
him to seek peace with his Creator
The features of the woman looked
very calm, and did not show the effects
of the awful death which she died The
people as arule were disappointed in not
seeing the cut in the neck, as it had
been sewed up, and the shroud made so
as to cover It. A description of the
shroud and coffin was given in the GA
zBvTE of yesterday.
The remains werelnterred in the Will
mington and Brandywine Cemetery,
where they will remain until the great
day, when all the dead shall arise.
