THE BURIAL OF The DANE.
Blue Gulf all around us,

Blue Gulf all around us,
Blue sky overhead
Muster all on the quarter,
We must bury the dead
IL IL but Danish sailor,
Rugged of fr mt and form;
A common son of the forecastle,
GriZZed with sun and storm.
His name, and the strand he hailed from.
We know-and there's nothing more
But perhaps his nther is waiting
On the lonely Island of FObr.
Still, as he lay there diving,
Reason drifting awreck.
otis my watch.r he would mutier,
must go upon deck y
Az, on deck-by the fOrcniast !
Bur watch and lookout are done;
The Union-Jack laid DER hlm.
How quiet he hes in the sun!
Slow the ponderoug engine,
stay the hurrying shaft.
Let the roll of the ocean
Cradle our giant craft
Gather around the grating,
Carry your messmate aft!
Stand IN order. and listen
To the h0liest page OF prayer
Let every foot be quiet,
Every hea bo bare
The soft trade-wind ls lifting
A hundred locks of hair
Our captain reads the service,
"A little spray on his cheeks),
The grand old words of burial,
And The trust true heart seeks
1--WE therefore commit his body
To the deep aud, as he speaks,
Launched from the weather railing,
Swift as the eve can mark,
The ghastly, shotted hammock
Plunge>, away from the shark,
Down, thousand fathOms,
Down into the dark
A thousand summers and winters
The stormy Gulf shall roll
High o ct his canvas coffin
But, silence to doubt and dole
There's q Quiet har1or somewhere
For the poor a-weary soul.
Free the fettcred engine.
Speed the tiTeless shaft
Loose to'gallaut and tOp-sail,
The breeze is fair abaft!
Blue sea AL around us,
Blue sky bright O'erhea1-
Every man TO his duty
We have buried our dead.

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
And Succeed So Well That the Two Sur
yiyors Have But Slim Chance
Of RecOvering-Iwo
Men Killed.
HANGING OF McGLOlN AND MALONE

McKEEsPoRT, Pa, March 9.-Deadmsn's
Hollow, the scene of the brutal murder of
Mcclure. for which young McConkey is to
be hanged on the 10th of May, comes up
ever and anon before the public in o light
which justifies its name, and gives an addi.
tional glamour of the horrible to its pre-
cincts. This morning still another terrible
incident is associated with the locality.
Just at the mouth OF the hollow is a
stone quarry, worked by Mr.. George Flem-
ing. This morning his employees, four in
number, went to the quarry at the usual
hour, to begin the days labor. A blast
had been partly drilled last night, and was
completed shortly before eight o'clock to-
day. Dynamite was the explosive in use,
but upon inspection the cartridges
were found to be frozen. One of
them was selected and placed near
the open fire, which had been lighted
at the quarry for the comfort of the work.
men. The four men stood near the place
while the process of thawing.out proceeded.
They were David Henninger. who was the
foreman; his brother George Henninger;
Noble Gilkey, a laborer, and negro whose
name has not at this writing been ascer-
tanned. The qVartette had taken advan.
tage of the opportunity TO warm their
hands, the foreman standing nearest the
cartridge and his brother close by him.
Suddenly the Dynamite Exploded
with the fearful force characteristic of the
dangerous article, scattering the fire brands
and loose quarry debris, and throwing the
-i,h u;A
distance. David Henninger was killed in
stantly, his legs and arms being dismem-
bered and hurled hither and thither, and
his body badly mutilated. George Hen.
ninger was shockingly and fatally burned
and otherwise injured, principally on the
face and body. The negro laborer received
burns from which he will die. Gilkey es
capped with the least injury, but he was very
severely burned on the body and face,
though not so badly as 70 prevent his being
taken to the house of David Henninger pear
by the scene of the disastrous accident.
The detonation OF the cartridge was so
much louder than the usual report follow
ing blast as to attrrct attention 10 the
neighborhood, but il is probable no accident
would have been suspected had il not been
that Noble Gilkeys house was with.
in a few hundred yards OF the quarry
and the catastrophe TO the men
was apparent therefrom. Assistance
came promptly and Gilkey and
the negro were taken to the house. George
Henninger was apparently at the point Of
death, and it was not thought advisable TO
remove.him without the instructions and
care of a surgeon. The dismembered re:
mains OF David IIenninger were collected
and are at the disposition OF the Coroner.
The deceased was married and his brother
George boarded at his house. Surgical as
sstance was summoned as promptly as pos
sible from McKeesport but at last accounts
st was thought that the younger Henninger
was beyond all aid. Tie negro and Noble
Gilkey may recover.

Virgins Still Sticks to His Prognosti.
cation.

OrTowA, March 9-Great interest is
taken in Virgins storm. The weather
to-day was springlike, and the question is
asked where is the storm. In an interview
to-day Virgins said there seemed to be
general misunderstanding as to the time
the great storm would begin. This is no
fault OF mine, for in my almanac this year
say under that March it will be felt in
the Northern Pacific on the 10th and will
strike this continent on the afternoon OF
the 10th. 1t will cross the continent from
east TO west south OF parallel
IS, tomorrow afternoon, aud being
DETECTED by the Rocky Mountains will pass
down the great Canadian lakes towards the
Past Sunday morning. A great tidal wave
must already have occurred on the Bay
Of Bengal, and the tremendous storm must
now be raging over India. II the theory OF
opposite tides be true, though l have al.
ways disputed It, then the tidal wave must
occur on the Gulf of Mexico to-day. am
glad to know that the Gloucester fishermen
were wise enough 10 keep on shore, as they
must all have perished had they been on
the banks yesterday morning. suppose
all the North American continent at this
moment though there will be upon US
shortly. one OF the greatest storms ever
witnessed by any one living now. During
the last six month have done every thing
in my power to prevent loss at sea by keep
ing shipping in safe harbors froA the 5th
TO the lIth of March, whether l will get
credit or not felt had at all events
done my duty to myself and the public.
The weather to-day must be mild
over the Western Hemisphere,
for the pressure is all upon
the other side OF the earth, but will be
transferred to US tomorrow. Remember,
the storm will not begin until the l1th in
this meridian, and it will be some hours be-
fore its full fierce will be experienced aud
ii will probably last several days. This is
what said in my letter first published on
the subject, and adhere to it in every par
ticulsr. No respectable astronomer has
risked his reputation by saying that the
storm will not come, and scientific
men generally throughout the world-if We
except meteorologists, who are interested
parties-have indorsed the storm or re-
msined silent. l see the meteorological
bureau in Toronto indicates mild weather
in the maritime provinces tomorrow. We
shslt see."

fore, not to be wondered at that those who

the prediction OF a storm, especially when
they remember that former predictions have
been fulfilled. Consequently many OF the
vessels which have arrived in port have
been deferred from going out again until
after the tempest Is over. Atleast q hun

Mr.. BLAINE
Don't Think TIE Was shot AT In the
CARRIAGE

Don't Think He was ShOt Al IN tne
Carriage
wAsHINGrox, March 9-Mr. Blaine was
called upon to-day for the purpose OF as
certainiAg what foundation there was for
the report current at late hour last night
that pistol bail was fred through the
carriage in which be and Representative
Mckinley were riding one evening last
week. Mr.. Blaine said: "On Thursday
evening of last week Mr.. Mckinley and
rode from the Capitol to the Ebbitt House
in the same carriage. From the E5bitt
House, where stopped few minutes, l
rode home alone. dismissed the car
riage as soon as / ascertained that
none of my family were out and to be sent
for. The next day about noon L heard
that one of the large paneS OF glass In the
carriage had been broken and that trag-
ments of glass were scattered protusely
over the seats on which Mckinley and
had been sitting. A few hours after l
heard of il, | inquired of Mr.. Mckinley
whether he noticed any noise OF oreaSing
during our ride, and he said not the slight
est. He reminded me that the windows
of both doors in the carriage were closed
before we left the capitol, their being quite
a sharp air. He remembered this very
distinctly, as did also, far he threw his CT,
gar away with the remark that he would
not smoke in a close carriage. OF course
pistol ball fired through a carriage must
have gone through it, or have been tound
inside. 1t did not go through. No ball
has been found INSIDE. My Judgment is
that the hole was never made by pistol
ball. 1t more resembles a crash from
stone hurled violently"
What is your theory about it,"

CRAZY ON THE WEATHER.
General Hazen Thinks Virgins should
Be Confined.

WASHINGTON, March 9-The sky here is
bright and everything is lovely, aud no in
dicatiOn in this locality at least that Wig.
gins terrible prediction will be realized.
The prophecy, however, is the talk of the
city and many people have deferred in
tended journeys until after the 1lth. |
have just left General Hszen, where went
to find out how the signal office viewed the
awful catastrophe which the venturesome
Canadian would devastate the country
from ST. Lawrence to Key West, begin
ming with to-day and ending on the llth.
Il regard Virgins as crank, crazy
on the weather" said the General, land his
insane prediction has done more injury
than he will ever be ably to reCtify. A
million dollars would not pay for the dam
age his ansanity has accomplished, from
advices We have, and think such people
should be restrained and put where there
could do no harm. The ignorant fishermen
Of the coast are so frightened that they
won't put to sea, and the consequence is
fish famine. March is full of storms, and
our records show an average OF twenty.four
a month for years back. but there will be no
extraordinary storm during the next two
days, you can be sure OF that"

Measuring aCorpse.

New BEDFORD, Mass, March ga man
employed by T. }. Murphy, undertaken,
went to house to measure a corpse, and by
mistake got into the wrong room where a
woman was asleep. He pulled out his tape
and measured her length, then he rolled
her over on her face TO measure across her
shoulders. She awoke and wanted to know
what he was doing. He left the house in
great haste and reported to the store, half
frightened 10 death, that there was no corpse
in that house. The woman has something
to laugh about the rest of her life.
