Uncle Sam Abandoned al Sea.

LONDON, September s. Captain
Goldsmith and wife. crew of the min
iature boat Uncle Sam, from Boston
for Europe, have arrived at Liverpool
in vessel which picked them up. 1t
seems that Mrs. Goldsmith, at the
commencement Of the voyage, suffered
from seasickness. Her illness after a
few days assumed serious form,
threatening inflammation of the bow
els. Constant wakefulness of Captain
Goldsmith was thus made necessary.
On the 18th of August, when off New
foundland a tremendous northeast
gale was encountered and sail was
shortened. 1t was feared the boat
would swamp or capsize, and Captain
Goldsmith stood, knife in hand, ready
to cut away the halliards. In conse-
quence of the boat shipping heavy
seas, Captain Goldsmith finally lay to,
with two drags over the bows, and
tried to take some rest. A tremendous
sea almost filled the place where he
was resting, and his wife was sitting
in water up to her shoulders. After
bailing out the water it was found the
drags and two oars had been carried
away, and all the provisions except
canned meats destroyed. Mrs. Gold
smith growing rapidly worse, her hus-
band on the night of the 10th of August
began to consider the desirability of
returning to Newfoundland. The gale
continued during the 18th and 18th,
all the fastenings but one of the main
sheets having given way. clock
on the afternoon of the 10Th, after
seventy-two hours of wakefulness,
Captain Goldsmith lay down to sleep,
but was awakened by the shock of a
heavy sea, He saw large bark and
chased it for an hour, finally coming
up with her, and Mrs. Goldsmith was
hauled aboard with a rope. Every
thing in the Uncle Sam was lost. The
boat was scuttled.

A COMMON RUMoR.

For more than a week past it has
been currently rumored in public that
the Howard visitors had agreed to pay
themselves 81 a day during the pres
ent epidemic, with SC day to be added
at the close of the sickly season, pro-
vided the fund on hand at that time
would warrant it. The question Of
whether or not the Howards receive
pay was put to General Smith, actiup
president Of the Howards, in the
interview Of Monday last by the rep
resentative of this journal with view
Of throwing light upon the subject. 1t
had been talked of in sundry places
and our correspondent, "Yox Populi, -
in ventilating it yesterday only gave
currency to common report. In the
face of General Smiths denial
that the Howards receive any
other pay than sufficient to pay their
daily current expenses the rumor
amounts to nothing, but as long as
the Howard Association hold private
meetings to shape up their business,
that long will unpleasant rumors re-
garding their labors circulate and find
believers. It would be better to open
out and let the world see every action
as the world is footing the bills.

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
A Female Sharper on Trial for Doing a
Big lob in Diamonds.
Special to the Courier-Journnl.

Special to the Courier-Journal,l
New YORK, September 6.-The
Hasey-Lynch diamond case was again
in court to-day. Mrs. Hasey, a fash
ionably attired woman of excellent
address, was accused with Lynch. a
Broadway diamond broker, of obtain
ing money under false pretensions
from a wealthy Fulton Market dealer.
by representing that the diamonds on
which she wished to obtain a loan
were worth more money than they
really were; in fact, the Market man
found himself in possession of com
paratively worthless stones. The
previous trials have brought out the
most widely differing opinions from
alleged diamond experts and great
variety Of complications. Not the
least interesting denouement, however,
was the appearance of Father fucker.
Catholic priest from an interior ham
let OF the State, who identified the
woman Hasey as the person to whom,
under the name of Schoonmaker, he
lent $4,000 on some diamonds, which
she represented were family relics,
and of great value, and which were
subsequently appraised by experts to
be worth $3.50 While making the
dicker with her, the priest let slip
that he had $4,000 more which
he wished to invest in some such
a way, and Mrs. Schoonmaker
quickly responded that if he would
look in next days Herald he would
doubtless find some one advertising
for such a loan. There were always
such chances in the great city. The
priest found in that newspaper next
morning the advertisement of a Catho-
lie lady in great distress who desired
the loan Of $4,000 on family diamonds
and a mortgage on property. He
sought her out. She was a widow.
her brother had just failed in business
and she desired to start him anew.
The gems she showed him were worth
at least $4,000. But this crafty wo
man did not talk business with much
JUNCTION. She was a recent convert to
the Catholic faith, aad fnCiDg in
Father Fucker one who could instruct
her in it, she talked religion by the
hour, and cast the diamond business
carelessly aside. The good priest
labored with her for a long time; he
had rarely found so devout woman
lore who seemed so desirous OF
drinking in the great truths and prin-
ciples Of the religion he represented.
| He himself had at length to remind
her Of the primary object of the visit,
and he took her diamonds and a mort
gage which was certified to by the
forged name Of Charles 0'Conor, gave
her the $4,000 plus $1,000, which he
pressed Oh her, and went his way.
These diamonds were afterWard ap-
pr ised at $500. The mortgage was a
forgery. Father Fucker testified to
all this, but the court struck out the
tes yimony because the ofense was
comu itted after the one being tried.
The case was in court to-day on a
moi on to discharge on a technicality
n the complaint. The court decided
to hold Mrs. Hasey in $4,000 bail.

The Chances Of an Election of
President by the Present Con-

The Chances of an Election of
President by the Present Con-
greSs.
Baltimore American, 7th.l
The certain election Of three, and
the probable election of four, Repub-
lican representatives in California on
Tuesday last will have an important
bearing on National politics. Cali
fornia is the last State to elect mem
bers to the present congress. With
out California there are eighteen
States having Republican majorities
in their congressional delegations,
eighteen having Democratic msjorities,
while the Indiana delegation is com
posed of six Republicans, six Demo-
Gratis, and Rev. De La Matyr, Green
backer. When a Presidential election
is thrown into the house of represen-
tatives the majority of each delegation
casts the vote for its State, each State
having but one vote, regardless of its
population or its electoral vote. Had
the California delegation been the
same in the present congress as in the
last-two Republicans and two Demo
crats-in case the next Presidential
election is thrown into the house the
election would be in the hands of De
La Matyr. With Republican ma
iority in the California delegation,
however, the Republicans will have
nineteen and the Democrats eighteen
States What would be the action Of
DR.. De La Matyr in this event is
doubtful. The Democratic majority
in congress will probably not leave the
matter in his hands. The seat of Mr.
Godlove S. 0rth, Republican, from
Indiana, is contested by Democrat
and Mr.. Orth will almost surely be
elected, rather on the political OF
Presidential necessities than on the
merits of the case, thus leaving the
house vote for President tie. If the
house should fail to make a choice
before the 4th of March, then the
Vice President, who would be chosen
by the senate, would succeed to thc
Presidency 1t will therefore be seer
that the contingency of the failure o
any candidate to receive majority o
the electoral votes would open a fai
field for intrigue.

A LABOR oF LOVE.

Among the Howards there is one
venerable member who deserves to be
extolled-not beyond others in the
association, perhaps, but it is we'll that
the public should know of the vene-
rable gentleman's sacrifices for suffer
ing mankind. Reference is made to
the respected Major Bowen. 1t is
known that he is poor in worldly
goods, and it is also known that he has
labored earnestly and devotedly, day
In and day out, at the Howard S rooms,
through all of last winter and spring,
as we'll as the early summer. His
unremitting attendance has often been
noticed, and it went forth that the
respected citizen was under a salary
but, according to ex-Sergeant Rogers
and Gen. Smith, it was only labor Of
love. His only emolument, says the ex-
sergeant, was a small commission allow
ed on the sale of the Howard S yellow
fever book. Ex-Sergeant Rogers also
deserves more than ordinary praise
for his devotion to the Howard ser
vice since the appearance of the cpl
demic this year, The ex-sergeant has
a large family to support, and he is
poor, yet he declares that he receives
nothing from the Howards for his
libOr Such munifceut generosity
deserves to be recorded in eloquent
words that will last through all future
time

Two Million Dollars the Cost of a
Storm.

new orleans Iimes.l
The loss Of crops by the recent storm
Is already beginning to attract the
attention of merchants, and they un-
hesitatingly assert that every inhabit-
ant must suffer to some extent by this
disaster. The sugar crop in the Alta
kapas aud the river parishes, including
Latourche, Assumption, Ascension
and lberville, appear to have suffered
most, and the falling off in the sugar
crop is estimated at $4,000 hogsheads
Of sugar and 100000 barrels of mo-
lasses, worth in the aggregate over two
millions of dollars. The loss in the
cotton crop is not so easily estimated,
but it is believed that in the lowlands
Of Mississippi there has been great
destruction, which, in the aggregate,
will not fall short Of 250,000 bales.
The damage to sugar machinery fences
and outbuildings is another important
item, and it is believed that the loss
to the city alone will amount to So
100000. On some plantations it is
reported there will only be sufficient
cane for seed, and that others who
have suffered less will, nevertheless.
be compelled to economic. On the
other hand, some localities have es-
capped entirely, and will gain in the
increased price of sugars what has
been lost by the storm. The opinion
is expressed that, should this hurri
cane prove as general and disastrous
as is now supposed, it will have an
important bearing on the result of the
election, so far as the debt ordinance
can be affected by the vote. The
theory is that men who by providen-
tial means have been restricted in
their income will not willingly con
tribute dollar more to the expenses
of the government than they can
possibly help, and that when it comes
to deciding whether they should pay
a sixmill tax or five mills, they will
choose the smaller amount, whatever
should be the consequences.

Maine did not go yesterday as il
went for Governor Kent in 1910, but
the Republicans made gains, and have
a substantial victory. The only ques.
tion open is whether the Republican
State ticket has a majority over both
the Greenback and Democratic candi.
dates. There is certainly a Republi.
can plurality of about twenty thousand
over the Greenbackers and forty
thousand over the Democrats. The
Republicans have a large majority in
the legislature, which gives them the
State officers if they fail of an cleo
tion by an absolute majority. This
is decisive Republican advance upon
last year, when they lost the legisla
ture and the majority against them
was thirteen thousand,

CHICAGO, September S.-Mr. A. Y.
Harper, editor of the 0kolona Miss !
States, gave his first public lecture in
Mccormick Hall tonight, before an
audience of about one thousand per-
sons. His subject as advertised was
States Rights, Reconstruction, Sam
bo, YazOo,' etc. Considerable time
was devoted to an introduction, ex-
planning how he became famous. He
attributed it to the freak of a strange
vicissitude; in other words, to his
writing the sentence: Yes, thank
God we have captured the capitol, -
which, he said, was read from one end
of the nation to the other, copied in
every paper in the United States. He
spoke Of the beautiful South, its fair
women and big mules, the great
wrongs it had suffered at the hands of
the tyrannical North, and before ceas-
ing paid a glowing tribute to JEFF
Davis. Mr.. Harper's effort, to say
the least, was a great novelty on the
lecture rostrum.

News From Geucral Grant.

WASHINGTON, September 8.-Rear
Admiral Daniel Ammen, at the sug-
gestion of several prominent and
wealthy gentlemen interested in the
construction Of the Nicaraguan Canal.
wrote to General Grant some two
months ago submitting his views on
the question OF the formation of a
company for constructing a canal. and
asking General Grant if he would ae-
cept the presidency of such com
pany if formed. To-day Admiral
Ammen received letter from Gen.
Grant saying that after two days
given to consideration of the subject.
he has concluded that if the company
is properly formed, and can secure the
necessary commissions from the gov
ernment of Nicaragua, he will accept
the presidency of the company, and
use his best efforts to push forward
the work.
General Grant speaks in the highest
terms of praise of the people of
Japan, Of their resources and pro-
gTess, and says he is very much
pleased at the receptions accorded
him by the government authorities
and people. His health and that of
Mrs. orant and of those travelling in
their company is excellent.

The Late Rains.

Courier-J0urnAi.I
The phenomenal rains which have
fallen at brief intervals since the first
half of August have long since passed
the stage Of the useful and are ap-
preaching the dangerous. The heavy
downpour at the beginning of the
week, attaining four and half inches
in thirty hours, was all superhuous
and injurious to farming interests, as
the previous rain of about the same
depth, week before, supplied all the
moisture needed for the crops until
maturity. Corn is being injured by
being kept green, raising danger of
frost, as the crop is several weeks late.
Tobacco is also late, and is also kept
green, while overAows here and there.
and other detriment are reported.
The wet weather Is also interfering
seriously with wheat sowing, the DELAY
being felt by farmers more seriously
on account of the general desire to
sow an area unequaled in former
years. The loss Of only a week or
two will balk these intentions.

A Captain Generalship for Crant

Washington Dispatch to New York Herald
Since the adjournment of congress
number of General Grants friends
have had under consideration a sug-
gestion, coming originally from a dis
tinguished Southern soldier whose
name is withheld for the present, but
whose Services in military and civic
life have won for him the confidence
and esteem of his people, as we'll as
the respect of the country at large, to
create the office Of captain general of
the army, with suitable pay and allow
ances, and to have the same rendered
to General U. S. Grant, in recognition
of his patriotic services in behalf of
the Union, as well as to afford him
permanent occupation in a congenial
employment the remainder of his life.
This idea has been quietly canvasscd
among the members of the senate and
house who have visited Washington
during the Taeea, as well as at Sara
toga, Newport, Long Branch and
White Sulphur Springs, 1t can be
said that the proposition has been
received with great fSvor, and will
take shape in a bill accomplishing the
purposes 2amed early at the next ses-
sion Of congress.

TMden and Hendricks.
Cincinnati Commercial special.I

Cincinnati Commercial Special
New YORK, September 6.-Gov.
Hendricks came over here from Block
Island about ten days ago. He re-
mained week, expecting call from
John Kelly. The Tammany chief.
tain did not call. Nor did any of his
people. The word now is to drop on
Hendricks. He has been used all
he can be used to iniure Tilden,
and, being a preposterous impossi-
bility for the first place, Tammany
has no more use for him. TammaDy's
nominee and forlorn hope is Mr..
Justice Field, of the Supreme Court.
Mr., Hendricks is fully advised of
this, and goes home relinquishing all
hope on his own account. Before he
went, however, he fired a parting shot
at the Tilden people. " You may
stack the Bibles as high as you
please" said he 10 q distinguished ex-
Senator, and / will swear from the
topmost down that I won't take the
second place This is believed the
only instance In his life when he ever
failed to " straddle " the " blind"
Meanwhile Mr.. Tilden has stuck his
breeches in his boots and stripped to
the waist, and is making Robinson's S
fight for him with a club in one hand
and barl in the other. If he doesn't {
succeed in actually nominating Robin
son, his objective point will be to force
Kelly to assume the whole responsi-
bility for the result. In either event
that is, the nomination of his own
man in convention or the defeat of
kellys man at the polls--he comes
out as the ruler of his party in New
York. His health is vigorous-was
never better.
