A NOVEL STEAM YACHT.

EXPERIMENTS TO BE MADE WITH A
HIaH-PREssURR ENGINE.
1t is expected that several officials
connected with the Naval Department
will come here from Washington this
week to witness some experiments
with new high pressure steam engine
on board the little English yacht An
thracite. The exact amount of power
procured in each phase ofthe trial will
be carefully recorded and the results
forwarded to the Secaetary of the
Navy. The Anthracite has been sent
here from England in charge of MAJ.
George Dean, who seems anxious to
afford every facility for making the
experiments. So far as he is concern
ed, he says, he wants the new system
of steam power to stand entirely on its
own merits. 1t is said that the trial
will show that with the high pressure
plan only one pound of coal will be
needed for actual horse power; that
there is absolutely no danger of explo-
sion; that steam can be generated at a
pressure of $50 pounds to the square
inch. Chief Engineer Loring thinks
that if these claims on the part of the
manufacturer are true a revolution in
the construction of steam vessels is
assured. The Anthracite is eighty
four feet long sixteen feet beam and
ten feet depth of hold.

HAWK ms CASE.

HIa REMOVAL RECOMMENDED TO THE
PosToFFICE DEPARTMENT-A FIGHT
IN PROSPECT.
Letter carrier James L.. Hawkins is
now engaged in death struggle with
Postmaster Pyle for the retention of
his official position. and the result will
determine which wing OF the hepubll-
can party in Delaware is to OBTAIN the
recognition of Il 10 Federal administra-
tion.
Yesterday Postmaster Pyle was in
Washington, and laid his grievances
against Hawkins, including the recent
racket at the meeting of the Republi-
can City Executive Committee, before
the Postoffice Dep artment. The Post
master had not dismissed Hawkins, he
only suspended him; but after making
out his case strongly recommended
James dismissal and returned to Will
mington.
But the affair did not rest here
While the Postmaster was returning
home and cogitating upon his chances
of victory, Hawkins was on the way
to Washington, accompanied by a
strong, but effective delegation to make
his fight in person. His delegation
comprised Christian Febiger, delegate
to the National Republican Conven-
ton, Levi c. Bird, Esq, and Henry
w. Cannon of Dover, Secretary of the
Republican State Central Committee.
This delegation will not only work
hard for Hawkins but will do all in their
power.to gain strong hold tor the "Dover
ring" upon the confidence of the ad-
minstration at least as far as the post
office department is concerned, Mr..
Febiger being resident of Hawkins,
ward and official district is expected to
bear testimony I'd the efficient manner in
which James has always performed his
official duties while all will combine in
the argument that political quarrels and
jealousies should not be deemed suffi-
cient reasons for the removal OF faith
full public officer.
Hawkins friends in this city are
quiet jubilant to-day, and express COM
plete confidence in victory for their
favorite. Postmaster Pyle seems serenely
hopeful that his recommendation of re-
moval will be complied with.

A FATAL BATH AT CONEY IS
LAND.

JAMES RAMSEY STRIKES HIS HEAD
AGAINST A PIPE UNDER THE IRON
PIER.
James Ramsey, young man resid-
ing at No. 147 Eighth street, Williams.
burg, drove down tb Coney Island,
Sunday afternoon, with friend to en-
Joy bath. They went to the Iron
Pier about Q o'clock and secured bath
ing rooms and suits. Being prepared
for the water Ramsey who is a fine,
athletic looking fellow, rushed down
the steps and plunged in head foremost
His companion was shocked to see his
friend come to the surface with blood
streaming from a wound in his head.
Assistance was at once rendered, and
the nearly unconscious man was rss-
cued. A doctor was summoned, when
it was found that RaIhsey's head had
come in contact with one of the iron
pipes running under the pier, infiicting
a CHASTITY wound and partially sever
ing the vertebrae of the neck. In a
few moments his body below the neck
became paralyzed. He was at once
taken home in a carriage, and it was
found that he was IN dying condition
After lingering for thirty-six hours he
expired in terrible agony at O'Clock
yesterday morning. The Coroner's
inquest will be held to-day.

Letter from Samuel Townsend.
MIR. EDITOR Il see by your paper
an account of the attempted perform
ance of that intelligent so-called demo-
cratic nigger at New Castle, in estab-
fishing negro Hancock and English
clubs. 1t turned out brick, but club
that drove said negro democrat to
take shelter in the jail until next morn
ing, (Sunday,) and Sheriff Pyle had to
escort said democratic intelligent ne
gro to Wilmington.
There are some very smart self
known white democrats that often ten
der their gratuitous advice about the
negro vote. | hope this attempt Of the
learned Virginia negro has opened
their eyes. There are other ways to
deal with the negro vol to demoralize
il without proposing equality. The
14th and 18th amendments are only
Congressional snactments. In my
opinion the politicians who got up and
signed proposition to break up nomi-
nations by ballot, thus if carried out
debarring poor white democrats from
equal rights in the democratic party,
was i'll timed and reckless in a Presi-
dental campaign.

TANNERS LAST CARD.

In the presumed absence of anything
more substantial DR.. Tanner is reported
to have taken much comfort in re-
puled despatch from Paris, signed "Dr.
Marion SIMS" and in the fact, appar-
eB ly, that IL cost sixty dollars to send
it. AT the present teltgraphic rates the
cost of this missve by cable should be
about thirteen dollars, and if anybody
paid sixty dollars for II somebody else
must have grievously taken advantage
Of hungry:.man. We do not know
whether as great mistake was made
In the signature as in The price, but we
shall not believe the despatch was
written by DR.. Sims until we can dir
ectly verify that statement. DR.. Ham

A LEAP FOR LIFE.

TWO GIRLS JUMP FROM A FOURTH
STORY OF A BURNING BUILDING.
A thrilling scene was witnessed
at the mattress mandatory OF ).
Collins, No. 26l North Second street.
About SIG O'Clock a fire broke out
on the third floor Of the building,
and at the time two girls, Eliza Og-
lesby and Emma Banes, were at
work in the fourth story. The flames
spread rapidly and shot up the stair
wav leading to the apartment in
which the girls were, thus cutting off
the only safe way for escape. The
girls were seen rushing about from
window to window pale with terror,
while the burning timber cracked
beneath them, and the fierce flames
crept nearer and nearer.
They had to choose between desper
ate leap of sheer forty feet or certain
death by fire. They chose the one re-
source and leaped from the window.
While The fireman battled bravely with
the flames and attempted to reach the
girls the prisoners were seen throwing
heir clothes from the back window
Eliza deliberately mounted the sill ana
jumped. II was moment of breathless
sus ense to those who watched the
girls, then dull thud was heard as
Eliza rolled over OH the ground, appar
emily dead. In her descent she struck a
shutter at the third story, and then
landed on wooden bar across gate
and bounded TO the ground. She was
picked up in an insensible condition.
Emma made clean leap and landed
on her hands and feet, receiving but in-
juries. Both OF the girls were removed
to drugstore on Race Street below
Third, and afterward taken TO the Penn
saylvania Hospital. Emma's injuries
were found TO be d serious character,
and but slight hopes are entertained of
her recovery. Eliza Oglesby is II years
af age and resides at No. l74S Melvale
Street, Richmond, and Emma Banes is
20 ears OF age and lives at No. 2249
