4 Persistent Britisher.
Wosllngton RepnhIiean.


A decided sensation was occasioned
in hampton roads last Monday by a
United States steamer, with the stars
and stripes flying at her masthead
firing six commons in rapid succession
at a large steamship flying the British
flag. The occurrence caused a num-
Der of sensational reports, one of
which was that war had been declar-
ed by the United States against Eng
land.
All such reports, however, were
disproved by report received recent
ly by Surgeon General Hamilton, OF
the marine hospital service, from the
quarantine authorities at Hampton
roads, which states that a British
steamer bound Tor Baltimore, and in
charge of a Baltimore pilot, while
coming in the capes, Monday, was
signaled by the revenue-cutter Ewing,
but kept en- at full speed and refused
to respond. By order of the com
handing officer of the Ewing, three
blank cartridges were then fired at
the English steamer, and upon her
failure to respond to this invitation,
the gun was loaded with canister and
discharged across her bow. This shot
also failed in its mission, and the per
sistent steamer kept on. Another can
lister was fired across her stern, and
one through her Iiggin, but still the
Britisher plowed the salty water, with
her head toward Baltimore. This SC
exasperated the captain of the revenue
cutter that he ordered the gunners tC
load up" with solid shot, fully de
termined to riddle the steamship, wher
the captain of the latter, thinking
perhaps, that discretion was the bet
ter part of valor, brought the vesse
to a standstill. She was then boarded
by the crew of the Ewing and thor
oughly inspected, and afterward pro
ceeded on her way to BaltiT ore.

knocked senseless aud she was blown
to considerable distance. She was
found in horribly mwtilated condi
ton, one arm was twisted off and the
other nearly so. A number of other
persons were more or less bodily in
jured.
When close at hand he jumped
saving his life. The fireman was car
ried over an embankment and his
body was not recovered until morn
ing. The path of the storm through
Rochester is strewn with wrecks, but
mostly in the poorer portions of the
suburbs On the north side. A large
elevator near the depot was broken in
two portions and the upper half, an
immense mass covered the railroad
and over two trains of cars standing
on the track. The fatal cloud swept
toward ST. Charles, five miles south
east, cutting a wide swath through
timber and farms, touching the little
hamlet with fatal effect, leaving two
cerpses and three fatally MANNED

DEATH OF JUDGE BLACK.
A Great Statesman and Jurist Passes
Quietly Away.

From York Pa, comes the follow
ing by telegraph. Judge jeremiah
Black died at 2:10 o'clock this morn
ing Aug. 49, Though not expected,
his death was sudden and shock to
the community On Saturday morn
ing he seemed somewhat better, but
the improvement was too slight to
justify hope of recovery An UNI
favorable change began about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon, and he grad
ually grew worse, but remained CON
scious almost to the end, and died
peacefully. From the beginning of
his illness Judge Black believed he
never would recover, and was perfect
ly resigned
Mrs Black, Lieutenant Governor
Chauncy f. Black and wife Henry
Black, Mr.. and Mrs. Hornsby. a. B.
Farquahar, and DR.. Meissenhelder
were present.
Shortly before Judge Black died he
said to his wife. How can fear to
cross the dark river when my Father
waits for me on the other shoreln and
added, Would | were as comforta-

finished in this world, and he breath
ed the following earnest prayer:
ooh Thou most beloved and merci-
full Heavenly Father from whom
have ever trusted, if it be Thy will
grant that my suffering end, and that
| be called home to Thee, and oh,
bless and comfort thee, my Mary"
THE IMMEDIATE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH
was to@mia, produced by the ABSORB
ton of retained urinary constituents
prior to the operation of Thursday.
Dr. McKennon, Of York, who had
spent the day with the patient not
iced the appearance of mfavorable
symptoms about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. DIR. Meissenhelder, who
relieved DR.. McKennon, also noticed
the change for the worse, and from
that hour the increasing gravity of
his symptoms indicated a gradual
failure of the vital forces. Judge
Black suffered greatly during his i'll
ness, but his last moments were with
out acute pain and he passed quietly
away, retaining consciousness until
within a few minutes of hisdeath.

GIRLS as base ball players, are not
TO be regarded in the light Of a success,
if the experiment at Philadelphia
may be taken as a determining expe-
riment. They showed a remarkable
beauty of costume and striking grace
of figure. but their determined dodg
ing of balls they should have caught,
and the eccentric throwing that MADE
a calculation of direction impossible,
rather dctracted from the science or
definite interest of the game, 1t has
been found that the girls cannot catch

Of selection before they can fling q
