DE LONGS BODY.
To Be Preserved in Metallic Cases and
Brought TO This Country. Tf

The New York Herald, this morning, says
that metallic burial caskets will be imme-
diately sent TO Russia for the transportation
of the bodies of the Jeannette's dead to this
country. An officer of the Metallic Case
Company said, on receiving the order :
"We propose that the bodies be taken
as they now are (frozen) and wrapped In
felt and packed In cork-dust in the metallic
easkets and permanently sealed. Then
wrap the casket in felt and then pack in the
box in cOrk-dust, also cover the box with
felt" We believe the caloric from the outer
air cannot penetl ate to the frozen body, and
If 1t did by long exposure 30 penetrate, that
the bodies would not TO any great extent be
effected by reason of their being in perfectly
air-tight receptacles, where no moisture
could be evolved to aid the thawing process;
and they must, of course, remain i'm this
frozen state for All indefinite period
The proposition to take the bodies to
st. Petersburg and thaw and then embalm
them cannot but result unfayorably. We
believe that the process of thawing the bodies
will itself commence and hasten deeoIn-
position, which cannot be arrested by any
embalming process. The process of embalm-
Ing, under the most favorable circumstance,
has proven ineffective, as In the case oi
President Lincoln, who had to be re-.
moved TO an air-tight metallic casket, and
Hofe recently Lne WnOie nation was shocked
and gTieyed at the result in President Gar
fields case, and only found relief when the
remains were taken from the wooden re-
ceptacle, and, the embalming being ignored,
placed In the bronze casket.
WASHINGTON, August S.--Secretary
Chandler yesterday cabled Mr.. W. II Hunt,
United States Minister at st. Petersburg,
that Congress had made provisions for
bringing home the remains of Lieutenant
Commander DeLong and companions and
asked that he telegraph Lieutenant Harber
at Yakutsk, to have sledges built and to
bring the bodies to Oremburg, where metal
lie cases will be found in waiting. A cable
message was received from Minister Hunt
this morning, acknowledging the receipt of
Secretary Chandler's message aud stating
that Lieutenant llarber has been made ac-
quainted with the wishes of the department

Last evening, Officer Peterson arrived at
the police station with a party of desperate
characters who have been creating trouble

were black as the ace of Clubs. The charge
made was fer throwing stones and swearing

A sweet Singer Dead.

Z Sister Mary Agnes Gubert died yesterday
at Mount De Chantal Seminary, near Wheel
ing, Va. She was, perhaps, the most noted
teacher of vocal music connected with any
institution I'm the United States. Twenty
five years ago she went to that city from
Philadelphia and took the veil, and was
soon afterwards placed in charge of the
musical department of Mount De Chantal,
where she has been ever since, She soon
acquired reputation as musician, and
when Parepa Rosa was in that city she
visited the convent and Sister Agnes sang
the "Alpine Echo" song so sweetly that
that great singer frankly acknowledged she
was the greatest singer she had ever heard.
Soon afterwards Max Strakosch offered her
$50, 900 for season of six months in con-
cert but Bishop Whalcn declined to permit
her to accept, and she remained at the
school, where she devoted her talents to
her always large class. In every State In
the Union she has old pupils who will re-
member her kindly, not only as a teacher,
but as friend.

The improvements in the City Hall for
the new police court progress slowly, and
there is no certainty when the quarters will
be ready for occupation. There is some
differences OF opinion as to how the changes
shoull be made between those having the
work done and those who are to use the
premises, and 1t seems likely that the same
difficulty win be experienced that drove
Mayor Almond, after few days, back to
the present cramped up quarters. The
trouble with the main room, as has been
stated, is its imperfect acoustic qualities,
which might possibly be improved by board
ing up the recess in which the platform is
placed and extending the platform further
into the room. The reporters are anxious
for a move, so they may have table and
fort.

BOARD OF health.
A Messing I.ase Night II which EattIs
Bnatneas Was Transacted.

A meeting Of the Board of Health was
held last evening, three members present,
with DIR. Springer In the chair A number
OF cases were reported abated, some were
continued and Others dismissed.
George Williams, the owner of property
ON Fifth street, east Of Walnut, was notified
some time since to repair his pavement
within 10 days. The executive officer re-
ported the work not done at the end Of the
limit, aud he was directed to procure a war
rant and take William before the Mayor for
violating city ordinance.
The owners of the alley on Orange street
near Fifth, were directed tO clear the place
within 10 days, 1t having been declared a
nuisance.
John Calhoun complained TO the Board
that Mills u Combs, coal and wood dealers,
Fourth street and the railroad, were
committing a nuisance by permitting
smoke from their works to annoy
their neighb0rs on account of the absence OF
proper ehimneys. The Board dismissed the
complaint, 1t being matter for the Mayor
to act upon.
A man named SweppenheIser complained
some time ago of cesspool owned by George
Mccall as being In filthy condition. Mccall
was notified and promised to abate the
nuisance. 1t was reported to the Board last
night that the promise had not been kept,
and the executive officer was therefore
directed TO notify the delinquentto to attend to
the matter within three days or be brought
before the Mayor.
The horrible condition of a cess-pool and
stables at the Western Hotel was referred to
proper officers.
DIR. Henderson reported to the Board that
he had five cases Of typhoid fever at Second
and Union streets, just outside the city limits,
and that he thought the difficulty was caused
by impure water I'm well adjoining grave
yard, and which the families having the
sickness, used. He wanted the Board TO
analyze the water, but that could not be
done. They thought 1t was the duty of the
families to obey the doctors advice in the
matter.
Orders were granted as follows: A. Y.
Gaynor, for burying dead animals during
July, 5000, Adams " Bro, $3.50; James
Stewart, 80.

DOVER, August S.--The second meeting
Of the Peninsular Fruit Evaporators' Asso-
citation was held In the Court House hall
here to-day. About thirty or forty gentle
men interested In the evaporating trade
were present. A. N. Keigwin the president
OF the association, called the meeting to or
der, and Mr. Caleb Boggs was secretary.
Representatives Of several firms dealing In
evaporated fruits were present and repre-
sented that the prospects of the trade were
good. The commission men represented In
their opinion the best interests of the manu-
facturers would be best protected by placing
their goods In the hands of a few first
class houses to be sold at option of owners,
and accepting advances upon them, as that
plan would be cheaper than the plan, even
If practicable, of pledging the fruit with
the banks as collateral. There was great
advantage In having the fruit handled by
experienced parties, as II was thus kept In
better condition, and having 1t on the spot,
as small lots can often be placed at better
prices than larger lots. A number Of mem
bers coincided with the views of the com
mission men. The question of procuring
insurance on the evaporator buildings, and
gentleman who was largely interested In
the insurance business said that though he
could not give figures there would be no
difficulties in the way Of getting insurance.
The Committee ON Constitutions and By
Laws reported constitution and series of
bylaws. The object of the association a.
set forth by the constitution is the advance
'ment of the interests of the fruit-drying
trade, and all persons interested In the
evaporatlng business were admissible as
members. The meetings of the association
will be hereafter held on the first Tuesdays
of June and December of each year ut
Dover. A special committee offive, consist
ing of Messrs. Caleb BOggs, Jocob Friedel,
William P. Carso, j. NJ. Sprout and Ed. o.
Eccles, to suggest and appoint standing
committees was appointed. Ff Ef
Mr.. l.. II. Denney, from the Committee
on Banks, reported that the bank officers
said the banks had plenty of money
and would loan 1t on good security, but
until the association had progressed better
and had stOrehouses, ETC., they would moi
give any information as TO how they would
loan money on fruit In store. A number of
thegrowers and others discussed the propri, ty
of bleaching fruit. The opinion of all who
took part IN the discussion was in favor of
the use of sulphur, as 1t assisted In the
preservation Of the fruit and keeping out
worms as well as in bleaching it, but recon-
mended its IIse In separate bath before the
fruit was placed IN the evaporation proper.
The meeting then adjourned.
