VICTIM OF A SOUALL.
Thee Lives Lost by the Upsetting Ol
faWl boat on Long Island sound.

Thiee Lives Lost by the Upsetting of q
iawl boat ON Long Island sound.
The familp of Theodore Hoffman. living
near POrtchester, ON Long Island Sound,
invited a number of friends to spend last
Sunday with them at their house, which,
stands almost in the woods near Fox s
Island. Hoffman and his eldest son, VIM.
j., were carpenters by trade, but for some
time had been working in Dents foundry
ut POrtchester. They owned an old yawl
boat fourteen feet long, which had been
rugged with sail much too large for it,
and in which the Hoffmans frequently
went for a Sunday sail. John Brask and
Hans Jensen, fellow workmen with the
HOifmans in the foundry, were two of
Hoffman's guests on Sunday, and with the
two Hoffmans and younger son, Fred
erick Arthur Hoffman, ten years old, got
the yawl ready for sail. They left
Fox's Island at about 104 a. m. and
crossed safely to Frost's creek, nine
miles away. On the return up in the after
noon they had almost reached the northern
shore when the western sky became sud-
denly black with thunder cloud. A few
minutes later heavy squall struck them,
upsetting the boat. , The elder Hoffman
and his son William were good swimmers,
and succeeded in getting all the others
upon the bottom of the boat. But William
Hoffman got his feet entangled in the rig
ging, and was carried down and drowned
by a lurch of the capsized vessel. Mr.. Hoff-
man seized his younger son and started
to swim for the shore, but Brack lost his
hold on the boat and clutched the boy
desperately. In order to shake him off
Mr.. Hoffman had to let 20 his son and
Brask and the boy went down together.
Hoffman was picked nd by a boat that
put out from the shore of Mannersing
Island, and Jensen was taken from the
capsized boat more dead than alive. The
bodies of all the three drowned persons
have been recovered, and at the inquest
held by Coroner Hyler yesterday verdict
of accidental drowning was rendered.

Walking.

St Louis Globe-Democra,.
One Of the most remarkable peculiarities
of the average American is his aversion to
walking. Men as we'll as women seem to
regard their legs with profound contempt
as means of locomotion. It is not an un.
usual thing to see young man or woman
mount dirty, crowded street car for the
sake of an eight squares ride, even though
the day be sunny and cool. As for coun-
try folks, who has ever seen husband and
wife or young man and sweetheart sasinter
out to Forest park or Tower Grove park
on foot? In nine cases out Of ten the
young man who should dare propose such
a piece of pedestrianism to his girl would
get the mitten for his pains. And
yet walk to either Of those parks
would be only q stretch Of four Or five
miles. Even boys of all ages, from the
yOungster of ten upwards, seem to share
this unnatural aversion to what is the
most glorious of all exercises. when taken
in moderation. In Europe, on the con-
trary, nothing in the way Of physica al en-
joymeut is so generally appreciated as a
good walk. To man and woman, to the
old and the young, a stroll into the coun-
try is a luxury and even to those who
live in the country daily walk is al
most necessity. A young lady does
not wait until her beau can afford to
take her out in a carriage. A walk of
five or ten miles by his side or on his arm
is even much pleasanter than a busgy-ride
or carriage drive. They can ramble in
whatever direction or at whatever gait
they please. They can stray from the
high-road to by paths, stop here to ad-
mire beautiful view and rest there TO
listen to the murmuring of brook or
watch an open expanse of water. No
flowers arc SO pretty as those that are
plucked by the roadside. no pebbles SO
wondersul as those that you pick
up by the meadOw-brook The
best-trained mocking- birds warble forth no
music like tho wild birds of the
woods, their sweet songs accompanied by
the mysterious rustling of the trees, or the
wonderful gush of rhythmic pulsations
that are waited from neighbOring corn
field over which the breeze sweeps lovingly.
The berries and nuts of the city taste i'll
sipid when compared with those You gather
on your ramble in tho country. Yet all
these enjoyments and all the accessory
considerations of health and increased ap-
petite, seem to have no temptation for our
people. They prefer to remain lazily in
their houses in the city, and in their
leisure hours regale themselves vOluntari-
ly with the same atmosphere of dust
sewer-gas, and unspeakab)e smells that in
their hours of work and sleep they are
compelled to inhale, rather than set their
legs in motion for i good trot into the
country.

THE IRON TRADE.

Cause OF tho Present Depression in Prices.
Secretary Swank, of the Iron and Steel
association, does not believe there will be
panic, neither does he believe that the
present depression in prices is due to
mere temporary furry. He thinks prices
have settled to low level, forced down
by the competition of English iron, and
that they will remain there until raised
again by the slow reaction of natural
causes. England, he says, is able to pro-
duce iron much more cheaply than this
country, because here ore must be hauled
over hundreds of miles of expensive rail-
road transportation to the furnace, coal
likewise must generally be brought from
a distance, and the iron when made
has another long journey to reach
the seaboard and a market, while in
Great Britain ore banks, coal mines and
furnaces are close together, and all are
near the sea. Labor is cheaper there, and
the prices of ore and coal are much lower.
All these points enable the British fur
naces to produce SO much more cheaply
than their American competitors that it is
no wonder they are able to sell their iron
in this country, especially since all their
other markets are OverstOcked, and they
are willing to take q very low profit, or
no profit at all, for the sake of getting the
iron off their hands. A great deal of
English iron is coming to this country,
and will continue to come, but not nearly
so much as was imported during the
"boOm" in the latter part of 1879 and
early part of 1880. There is just about
enough coming now to make too much,
in addition to the produce of Ameri-
can furnaces. and so to keep prices down
all round. THE 6lowing out Of a tew furnaces
least adcaatageoasly situated for their bust
ness aciN reliece the market and enable tho
others to make a liui,cg profit. The de-
preston in pig iron, however, is no indi-
cation of a stagnation in the iron business
generally. The mills and factories of all
kinds throughout the country are as busy
as they can be, and most of them are
hard pushed to keep up with their orders.
Only in the steel rail mills is there any
symptoms of slackness and therc it is
only by comparison. All these mills are
busy, but most of them would be able to
take an order which it was especially de-
sirable to fill at once. In manufactured
iron orders have to take their turn and in
some cases their turn will not come for
year or even eighteen months.

FAITHFUL EVEN UNTO DEATH.

Dog Guards the BODY OF His Master, Who
Committed Suicide.
A gentleman was crossing field adjOin.
ing Johnson's woods, near Mill Creek sta
ton, Montgomery county, Sunday morn
ing, when half-famished dog came run.
ming up to him and barked as though,
overjOyed to see him. The man thought
the dogs actions were very queer, and, his
curiosity being excited, he followed it into
the woods. He did not walk far, though,
before he saw the dog take his position by
the side of a dead body of man greatly
decomposed.
When found, a double-barrcl gun was
lying diagonally across his body, the butt
between his knees. Fastened in the trig-
ger was forked twig, with which the
trigger had been pressed and the gun dis
charged, and by the mans side lay his
open knife, with which he had doubtless
cut the twig. The charge was evidently
:: very heavy one, for it took the entire
upper part of his head away, disfiguring
him past recognition and making big
round hole in the top of his straw hat,
lodged in the trunk of tree The deed
was performed by placing the muzzle of
the gun in his mouth. That the weapon
lay across the body when found is due to
the conclusion at its discharge.
No one has as yet been able to identify
the man. He is about As or so years of
age, has slightly gray hair, and was
dressed in a neat, dark suit of clothes.
His gun is good one, as are also the shot
pouch and powder flask. In the mans
pocket were found 20 cents in money, a
comb, two glass syringes, a pipe, some
matches and other trifles. He was last
seen at Mill Creek station on Wednesday.
The horrible condition of the stranger,
the fact of his clothing being water soak
ed, and his gun covered with rust,
lead to the suppOsition that the
rash deed was committed on We'd
nesday, and that the man lay in the
woods during the several violent storms
between that time and Saturday. His dog
is playful spotted spaniel, and, together
with the mans body and his few personal
effects, is in charge OF Undertaken Rud-
dach. The dog appears to be sensible of
what has occurred, and seems to be bowed
down in grief. He prefers lying by the
side of his masters gun or tho ice box
containing the dead body.

John Adams complained of the vice
presidency, which he held twice, however,
in spite of this, that it was the one posi-
tion where man could do nothing and
must make mere figure head of himself,
to hold it, honorablX: It almost put a
man into contempt, from the Adams stand
point, to keep up the proper dignity of
the Office. Unlike other heirs apparent,
he couldn't take the opposition line with
a proper sense of what was owing to the
administration of which he was silent
part. 1t was, of all devices, in the opinion
of the irate Adams, the chief for reducing
its incumbent to silence and inaction, be-
coming the chair. Vice President Arthur
does not share these views of the elder
statesman. He seems to be able to make
the vice presidency quite active, but holds
the office rs personal obligation, ap-
parently.

dent of the United States should never
fail to observe the wish of the senators
of his party in the appointments to
Office in their states. He entered
into an elaborate explanation as
to how he had not done this in the
appointment of Simmons to the Boston
collectorship, the gist of which seems to
be that he did it because Senator Sum-
ner never personally asked him not to
do it, though he knew he didn't want
him appointed. "Ask and ye shall re-
ceive," is apparently Grants idea of the
attitude of the senator to the president.
