Almost Drowned

Yesterday afternoon a sailor from
Baltimore started out TO see the city
and on his trip visited too many sa-
looms, which soon affected his brain
that he was unable to navigate success
fully and instead of putting into a safe
barbOr walked overheard into the
Christiana at the foot of French street.
The accident happened about o'clock
and If it had not been for the timely
assistance of the watchmNn at Geo. W.
Bush s. Sons, the man would havo
been drowned. The man was tished
out by the watchmau and DR.: Morrison
summoned, who worked with him for
over two hours before he was resuscita-
ted. The man was removed TO the City
Hall and when he had recovered he
gave his name as John Green. He was
about 55 years of age.

LETTER FROM BETHLEHEM,

- B1v0F-Bluo MOunSalmB, Etc'
BETHLEHEM, Pa, Sept. II AT last
we have dropped dowu tn Lehigh RiV-
or to Bethlehem, having left behind us
Mauch Chunk. A place noted alike
for It's wild picturesque scenery, It's
salubrious atmosphere and where ma
lures elements appear to have waged
their fiercest warfare. Here the Lehigh
met its boldest bstructions-whole
ranges of mountains hurled themselves
directly In its path, threatening to bar
its further progress, among which IL
madly sweeps, dashing onward to the
sea-here, where it would seem the
struggle was fercest, where the stream
doubles and turns in its mad efforts to
escape, rasping the mountains to their
rocky depths, overshadowed by their
towering heights lies Mauch Chunk.
But here in Bethlehem the scene Is
changed the river meets but little OBJ
struction gliding swiftly, but quietly
onward to the great ocean beyond.
Climbing to the mountain top, we can
rest our eyes on the Blue, and Allie
ghany Mountains. Stretching out for
hundreds of miles. Here we can see
the famous 'LebiGh Gay" which looks
as If nature by some wild break had
torn them asunder, like broken thread.
We can also see the Delaware Water
Gap, Wind Gap. Here is the terminus
of the North Penn. Railroad, 56 miles
from philadelphia. ,
Here the Lehigh Valley railroad and
the Central railroad of New Jersey,
winds aleng the valley. Bethlehem is
very pretty place, almost every house
has fine yard adorned with fruits OF
all kinds, such as pears, peaches, ap.
pies, grapes, etc. The evenings are cool
and pleasant, the atmosphere healthy
and invigorating. There are numerous
churches, schools, colleges and hotels
with spl lendid boating and fishing, The
Bethlehem steel works are in full opera
ton, giving employment to about 1000
hands, including the day and night
turns.
The water cannot be eXcelled, as 1t is
from one large spring which supplies
six thousand people, the entire mum
hor of people in old Bethlehem, but
this does not include West Bethlehem,
or South Bethlehem. The water is
forced from the works to the Reservoir,
and this supplies the town. Not many
places can make such Eoast as to wa
| ter.

prize fighter j. L Sullivan and hi'

Suicides in France.

Some official statistics have just been
issued in France of the suicides that
have taken place in fifty years. They
show that siuce 1880 the number Of
suicides has trebled. In 1880 there
were five suicides for every 100000 in
habitants; in 1850, 10; in 1860; II; in
1870 13; in 1880, 15. The total suicides
in the last year reached $3.50, OF whom
70 per cent, were men. The Seine Dep
artment stands at the head OF the
gloomy list and Corsica has the small
est number of suicides-only two pei
100, 900 inhabitants. A painful, fact II

Very Poor.

A sad picture OF life in Ireland is
drawn by correspondent of the Spring
feld "ReYubliCan." He declares That
no one can conceive how wretchedly
poor and destitute human beings can be
and live until he has ridden by cabin
and crib and all the nameless shifts for
shelter that offend the eye between Glen
gariff and Killarney. Not one decent
home, not one comfortable, tidy dwell
ling, not one cleAnly, well.fed, neat hu.
man being did he see. TrooIs Of sad,
wan, starved children nearly naked,
smeared to the eyeswith dirt and ashes,
followed him mileafter mile plaintively
wailing: "a penny If ye plaze, sur. ;"
Men and women with the dull, dead
expression of despair in their eyes wa
ded out to gaze upon him from theiI
cabins and holes in the ground, or be
tween the rocks, literally ankle deep in
mud, and clad In such tattered tatters
that Lazarus was attired n princely
robes in comparison. Deer stood in the
fields and birds sat upon the trees,
fearless OF NAL, for no Lrishman Is per-
mitted to have gun or to touch bird or
beast, even though his family starve be-
fore his eyes. In the whole long ride
of fifty four miles he never saw a dog;
and he exclaims: "Think of people
