special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press from
New York last evening says: The coroners who
have charge OF the disinterment OF Private Henrys
remains, which now lie in Cypress Hill Cemetery,
not finding their task an easy one and it is not
at all improbable that two weeks, II not more, viii
pass before the government authorities allow them
to carry out their intention.
The coroners made their third fruitless trip to
Governors Island to-day TO obtain permission to
open the grave from the army authorities Col
Perry, to whom application was made, stated that
1t was out OF his power to grant the request, and
advised the corOners to make out formal and Joint
application to the authorities at Washington. The
washington omclais, ne said. are the only ones
been placed In the grave, and 1t will take ten days
or two weeks to get an answer. The coroners now
have no other resort left them but to follow Col
Perry'S advice.
In case OF refusal from Washington however
they intend to apply to the state authorities for
power to open the grave They claim that the state
has full Jurisdiction In the matter.

The Iron Walls OF France and En1land
From the German Military Gazette
Great Britain still holds first place with her
armored fleet; France, second; Germany, third;
italy, fourth; Russia, fifth, and Austria sixth But
at the present moment France is building four
teen vessels OF the most powerful model and eight
armored vessels for coast defense Therefore in
four years France will have thirty war vessels
twelve OF which will be frst-class, and England
thirty-two, only one Of which win be OF the same
strength as any one Of the twelve French ships
Italy Is now building nve flrst-claSs war vessels
Russia three and three irOn-clad cruisers; Germany
one 1ron-clad cruiser and two gunboats; Austria
one war vessel, and Denmark one iron-clad for
coast defense.
Consequently the maritime pre-eminence OF
Great Britain Is decidedly menaced by France.
England being obliged to employ q great portion
OF her neet in the Mediterranean and at different
distant points s fair to presume that In 1887 or 1888
France would be able 70 oppose q neet OF 42 ar
mored vessels against an English one OF 30 at the
most including even the vessels for coast defenseA

Frosts Every Month.

The frost Of Monday morning was so heavy in
low places in Connecticut that it was scraped from
fences with the hand. Little damage was done,
though tomatoes and late cucumber vines were
nipped. In the opinion of an aged gentleman, of
Norwich, the similarity between the year 1884 and
that OF 1885, "the year without summer" is being
str1kingly realized "The present year is even
more phenomenal" he says, sin that the July and
August weather has been generally much colder
and more singular than was that OF 1916, though
the June Of the earlier season was colder than was
last June" Thus far there has been frost in each
month Of this year, and there is little doubt that
September will give at least one freeze.
