The wonderful change which has taken
place in. navigation, is shown by refer-
ence to the condition Of our commerce
thirty years ago. In 1915 there were
31S ships (all sailing vessels) registered
at the Custom House as belonging to
this port. The largest was the Henry
Clay, l 1,207 tons, while the smallest was
the st. Thomas, 227 tons. The average
was about 500 tons, and to these were
added 96 barks, which are three-masted
vessels of smaller size. The largest of
these was 464 tons and the smallest
160 tons. This entire feet has given,
place to steam navigation, and. CON
sidering the immense increase AinH our
commerce, twouid seemhardly possible
that it could be performed by sailing
vessels. In 1840 the steamer British
Queen visited this city, and one of its
passengers. by way.cfx bxavado, told his
friends that he wpg1ld be home by
a specified time. ne period designated

more than dozen of frst-class passen-
gers, and 1t may be added that one of
the last men of distinction to cross the
Atlantic in this manner was Washington
Irving. When appointed to the mission
at Madrid he was invited by Grinnell,
Minturn & Co., to accept a state-room
in one of their best vessels. He re-
turned, however. in a steamer. Among
the most popular of the aforementioned
packets was the " Dramatic Line" con-
trolled by Edward K. Collins. He had
great histrionic taste, and hence named
his ships the Garrick, the Siddons, the
Shakespeare, and the Roscius. Collins
foresaw the supremacy of steam, and
this led him to create the collins

Houses Built.by William Penn.
Philsdelphia Bulletin.


The hoAse on Letitia street, between
Market and Chestnut, which was built
by VIM. Penn for his daughter Letitia,
and in which she lived and died, has re-
Gently been purchased by J. A. Janney,
who co1temp.ates tearing it down for
the purpose of making an addition to his
warehouse adjoining. The building has
been used as a saloon during the past
twenty-eight years, and adjoining it is
the old mansion once occupied by Penn,
and which has also been occupied for
some time as a saloon. An unsuccess-
full attempt has been m ade to purchase
the last named house. 1t was the first
brick house in Philadelphia, having
been built by Penn in 1882, the ma
terials used in its construction having
been imported from England. The firm
has offered the Letitia House to the
Pennsylvania Historical Society, with
the privilege of tearing it down and re-
moving it. Mr.. George w. Childs has
offered to bear the expense of removing
the building to the park and having it
erected in its original style, and his
offer will undoubtedly be accepted as
soon as the society convinces certain of
its members as to the identity of the
house, upon which point they seem to
be incredulous. 1t is to be hoped that
the Penn House will also be purchased,
in which event the Messrs. Janney offer
to give it, t o, to the His orical Society.

Co-Operative Life Insurance Failure.

The last Ohio State Legislature ap-
pointed committee to investigate the
system and the frauds committed, and
to recommend such additional legisla-
tion as may be necessary to protect the
people from loss and fraud. 1t also
adopted tine following resolution almost
unanimously:
Whereas, A large number of Mutual Aid As
sociations have been organized for the purpose
of mutual protection and relief of their members,
and for the payment of stipulated sums OF
money to the families or heirs of the deceased
members of such companies or associations, and
furnish security to their patrons for the faith
full performance of their obligation to the in
sured, and
Whereas, There are complaints upon the part
of the friends of those insured that such asso-
cations fail to provide for the payment Of
claims, as agreed with the insured, and
Whereas, Charges have been made that IN
many instances such companies or associations
have continued to collect assessments upon the
policies of persons long after the death OF such
persons and
Whereas, It is claimed that assessments have
been made and collected upon the policies oi
persons who died prior to the persons in whose
interest such assessments and collections were
claimed to be made and
Whereas, The manner of conducting business
of such companies and associations has created
distress and alarm in the minds Of many of the
insured in such companies or associations, az
well as a belief generally that such companies
or associations should be so regulated by law
as to furnish greater security and profession td
its members and to the public; therefore
Resolued, That a select committee OF hve be
appointed which committee may sit during va
cation, and shall have power to send persons
and papers, and whose duty it shall be to make
a thorough examination into the responsibility
and manner of doing business practiced by suct
companies or associations, which are RESPONSE
bic and safe organizations with which to dc
business, and what legislation, if any, is nee
essary, to protect the citizens Of the State
against loss or fraud by such companies or as
socations organized within this State, or by
similar companies or ASSOCIATIONS organized un'
der the laws of other States doing business in
this State.
The following named gentlemen were ap'

Political Redhotues-.

There has been Republican State Conven-
ton in progress at Staunton, Va. The State
has two Republican elements, between whom
the strife is perhaps as bitter as between the
Tammany and anti Tammanyites, of New
York City. At all events, there is not more
harmony than there onght to be, Judging from
the following, which we extract from an As
sociate Press report: " There was aim st row
in the convention to-day, growing out of dis
pute between Mr.. Rives, of Lynchburg, and
Mr.. Dezendorf, of Norfolk City. The parties
used violent language AMI seemed about to
come together. The whole convention was in
disorder, and it took the united efforts of the
city police, the officers of the House, and the
Mayor of Staunton to prevent general fight.
The parties, however, were afterward reeonciled
and shook hands,"

An Appalling Disaster.

Christian, Green and Webster counties,
Missouri, have been visited by one of the
most destructive cyclones on record. Marsh
field, the county seat of Webster, num-
bering about 800 inhabitants, has been al
most entirely swept away from the face
of the earth. Only two business houses
remain standing, and the people are
left in a frightful condition. The number of
killed, so far as is now known, is seventy
eight, and the wounded will perhaps reach
nearer oLe hundred and fifty than anything
under it. The storm, which occurred on
the evening of the 18th, began its
work of destruction in Christian County,
and following the James River in
northeasterly direction, and cutting a swathes
half mile in width, passed over the the three
counties enumerated above, leaving death in
its track. Trees, telegraph poles, and build
ings in its path were lain fat to the ground.
1t is said stock could be seen flying through
the air with other debris. How much
damage there has been done to life in its
course of a hundred and twenty miles is
not now known, but the number beyond those
reported killed alone in the town of Marshfeld
must be considerable. No sooner had the wind
swept the town of Marshfield to the ground in
its terrific fury amid the cries of a terri
fed populaee, crashing everything be-
fore it, than confagration set in and
many of those who had not been killed
outright by the violence of the storm were
consumed in their helplessness by the ensuing
flames. The night that followed is described
as appalling in its blackness, and the terrified
people did not succeed in dispatching a mes
senger for aid until after the hour of midnight.
At three o'clock on the following morn
ing about three hundred persons left
Springfield for the scene of disaster, among
them all the doctors of the town. Of the
buildings in Marshfeld, only two business
houses remain standing, and but twelve houses
altogether that escaped the element. 1t is
thought that many farmers families in the
line of the storm have been killed. No reports
have been received as yet beyond at the
points mentioned, although it is known that
the storm has spread its destruction for a dis
tance over the country of fully hundred and
twenty-five miles.

from his bed, ami taking him to the woods,

sown in wheat last fall to be thirteen per cent.
moro than in the fall previous. In the area
sown in rye there is a decline of six per cent.
as compared with the year previous. There
was a large increase in fall sown wheat in those
States that hitherto have exclusively sown in
the spring. The experiment was unfortunate,
and all, particularly Iowa and Nebraska, re-
ports great disaster from the winter. On the
whole, the wheat crop thus far looks as favor
able as in the spring of 1879. The condition
of live stock, as represented, is very favorable
better than for several years. No disease is
reported other thar cholera among swine, and
that is no worse, if as bad, as last year.
