Survivors Of the Brig France.

CHARLESTON, S. g., Nov. 81. The steamer
Pilot Boy arrived from Beaufort today bring
ing the five survivors of the ship France,
who were picked up by the British brig Liz
zie, on the second instant. and were landed at
Bull River on the eighteenth. The France
was abandoned in a sinking condition, the
crew taking to their three boats, only one
of which was picked up by the Lizzie As to
the fate Of the other boats containing the
captain and the remainder Of the crew the
survivors are entirely ignorant. but they have
little hope of their safety as they had only
two days provisions and water.
The men. when picked up. had been cast
about for eleven days in tempestuous sea
in small boat and nearly famished and
utterly exhausted. Three days before. they
sighted felucca, and were so overjoyed that
they drank up all their water, but the felucca
upon being hailed, changed her course and
cruelty left them to their fate.

A Supreme Court Decision.
BOSTON'S WATER SUPPLY.
Report Of Prof. Remsen's Investigation

BosroN, Nov. 81. Prof. Remsen, Of Bal
timore, who was engaged by the city govern
mept to examine into the causes of the con-
tamination of the citv's water supply has
completed his investigation and submitted
his report. He has discovered that the
strong cucumber flavor which has appeared
a number of times in the city water is caused
by the decomposition of fresh water sponge
called the "spongilla fuviatilis auct." That
it grows in large quantities in farm pond
one of the city's water supply. The sponge
when alive is perfectly harmless. But when
dead it exhales the peculiar properties which
have caused the pollution of the city water
in the past Prof. Remsen states that this
sponge in its decomposed state has undoubt-
eddy caused impurity in the water supplies of
Baltimore, Albany. New Haven, Hartford
and other cities similarly affected. The on
ly remedy he submits is the total expurga-
ton of the cause. As result of his report
this city will build conduit through the
farm pond and the abandonment of the pond
as a source of supply.

THE WORK OF INSANITY.
An Old Lady Kills Her Grand -daug hteT
and then Commits Suicide.

Dover, N. H., Nov. 81. Further partic-
ulars from the Stratford tragedy show that
Jonathan Waldron with his wife and grand
child reside in Stratford, 20 miles from Do
YER Mrs Waldron has been confined to the
bed with sickness, but apparently her mind
was not affected. Sunday, Mr.. Waldron re-
tired for a short rest. His wife then got up
and calling her granddaughter to her with a
piece of candy. cut her throat with razor,
from ear to ear, and then cut her own. Both
are dead. Mrs. Waldron was 60 years old.
LATER. 1t now appears that Mrs. Wal
dron. who killed herself and grandchild. had
shown symptoms of insanity of late but it
was not known outside of the family, as she
was not considered dangerous. The mother
of the child was dead, and she seemed to
worry about the childs future. The whole
deed was done in five minutes rs she was not
longer out of sight of her husband. All the
parties are very respectable. The scene OF
the tragedy is within half mile of the place
where Josie Langmaid was murdered by
Evans eight years ago.

The Boston Bank Troubles.

The recent bank troubles in Boston have
created good deal Of commotion in finan-
cial circles. Wall street had quite a flut-
ter over the reports Of the failures and
Chicago was somewhat disturbed at the
news. The financial nerve is very sensi-
tive and it has more ramifcations than the
world dreams of.
The principal figure in these financial
difficulties is one Theodore G. Weeks Of
Boston, not a bark cashier or president.
but a specializing broker. a plausible,
though he had failed in business several
times and was known as bold and ven-
turesome operator, succeeded in so gain
ing the confidence of the officers Of the
Pacific Bank that they went far out of the
way they should have pursued in the
management Of their bank affairs and
trusted Weeks, to the ruin Of the institu-
ton whose safety they ought to have
guarded with the greatest care and hon.
esty.
Briefly told, a smart, reckless. specu-
lating adventurer. through the weakness,
carelessness or dishonesty of the officers
of the bank led the concern to ruin. II
is not very consoling to the stockholders
now that their property in the bank is lost
and IN assessment stares them in the face
to be told what nice gentleman Mr.
Weeks Is. and how unerring his judgment
had always been before this disaster in
financial matters. They would much
rather learn that the bank was prudently
managed and their money lost in finan
cial hurricane, than that 1t was improper
" loaned to Mr.. Weeks to be gambleG
away in stocks.
We regret to see that the accumulation
of quite number of our Maine people are
involved in the failure of the Pacific Bank
The earnings Of our people generally
come slowly and by toilsome effort and
the loss will be seriously felt by many o.
them. If they had invested their money
in some industry or business at home
they might have done better than to trust
Il farther away-might have kept it from
the hands OF gamblers in stocks. under
their own eye and control. and employed
It TO build up the communities in which
they reside rs well rs to gain them a fail
