4 Bad Days Work for the Washington
Brick Machine Company.
Tho teams of the Washington Brick Ma
chino company were evidently trying to play
the role of ancient chariots of war yesterday.
The following reports wero found at police
headquarters last night:

Hessler was run over aud killed at the corner
of First and II streets northeast by cart No.

street northeast and DIR. Suter was called in.
The coroner has been notified. Lator-Robert
Duvall, colorod, driver Of cart II, was arrested
and is hold at tho seventh precinct station
house."
Another report states that ''Harry York, a
white boy, Ia years of age, was run over in
an alley between Ninth and Tonth and U and
V streets northwest by brick wagon loaded
with bricks and owned by tho Washington
Brick Machine company. 1t was driven By
Alfred Robinson. The wagon was stuck in
the mud and a number of boys were looking
on, when it suddenly started. The whifIletroC
struck the boy, knocking him down, and the
front wheel passed over his leg. He was re-
moved to his home No. 2041 Ninth street
northwest, and DIR. b. Is. Adams was sum

THE STEAMER BEAR.

Lieut.. EmOry's Report or the Progress
He Has Made, ana Whnt is Hoped to
he Accomplished ThiI Season.
Secretary Chandler has received a report
from Lieut. Emory, commanding the Arctic
steamer Bear, under date of st. Johns, May
3, in which he says the ice conditions are
considered favorable. If easterly gales have
prevailed in the Arctic regions, as there is
reason to believe, tho ice will have set in
motion to the sound sooner than usual All
the seal steamers report unusual quantities
of ice of the straits Of Belle island and the
southern coast Of Labrador. Tho Neptune
was jammed in tho ice and her master,
while regrettng his inability to reach tho best
sealing ground, suddenly found himself SUR
rounded by seals and returned to port loaded
to her gunwhales having 1000 harps. Tho
other vessels returned empty. Lieut., Emory
stated his intention to pursue tho following
course; Take tho middle passase of Davis
Gtraits, and when progress Is ObstTuGted by
ice skirt its edge until the Greenland coast Is
reached, thence along the edge Of the foot ice
to Disco and Upernavik. Should early
arrival at the latter port be prevented by ice
he will be able to find leo on the coast or
make ono in the foot ice to await favorable
opportunity OF proceeding. If able to
steam with dispatch to Upernavik
he will not tarry at Disco, but
Will communlcHe by boat, leaving dis
patches for Comdr, Schley. Communication
will be mada with Holstoinburg in case of
de'2y on tfs coast Of Greenland to Disco

The New Religion.

Paris has not been deeply affected by
the assaults Of the Salvation Army, and
1t remains to be seen whether the
approac hing mission of "Thoosophists"
will, as the leaders Of the new religion
expect, succeed in converting the French
capital. Most people are probably
unaware that "Theosophy' has its dis.
ciples and its monthly journal in our
midst. We are so accustomed to the
eecentricities Of faith aud unfaith In this
Babylon that one religion more or less
attracts little notice. Whether it is
that modern Paris, like ancient Athens,
is always looking out for some new
thing or that the chosen apostle for
France is an attractive Russian lady
with a mysterious history, whereas in
London we have only had the admins
tration of an American Colonel, it is
clear that tho newest cult is attracting
more attention on the banks of the
Seine than on this side of tho Channel,
aud the Paris papers are already COM
monding TO devote to IL columns of their
SPACE. One reporter has interviewed
Madame Blayatsky, at her rooms in the
Rue Notre Dame des Champs, and has
received from her much information of
an extraordinary sort. N the opening
of the interview the Hig- Priestess was
not very communicative, having been
offended at ssme things that were
written of her, and she somewhat
sharply expressed the hope that the
Parisian reporter was going to write
"the truth, and not superficial non.
sense" She soon relented, however,
and consented to give some account OF
her religion, its methods and aims.
"Theosophy, it appears, is n combin.
alton of Sprituallsm and Buddhism,
although in what proportion the peculi-
arities of tho different schools are allow
ed to enter it is not very clear. The
propaganda in PATHS " to commence
formally at the beginning of next month,
and will be carried On by Madame
Blavatslxy herself, assisted by "Colonel
0lcott, OF the United Sletes," who it
appears, has worked some eight thou
sand miracles in the last twelve OF
thirteen months and by mysterious
~uiHiu ''the wisest man in the East anc
perhaps in ti,GHwoaid, >. ;gs,ho is exhibited
in a photograph, clothed in white, ana
sitting at Madame Blavatsky's feet. The
programme of the cult is a comprehen-
sive one, not failing in any degree On
the side OF modesty. The America
Colonel, the learned Hindu aud th'
Russian lady intend to establish So
Universal Brotherhood of Humanity,
without distinction of Creed, Race o.
Color" basing it on careful study oi
what are sometimes vaguely defined at
"Aryan and other eastern literature,
religions and sciences" the importance
of which is to be vindicated, and hnell, ,
ito investigate the hidden mysteries y.

The diamond, OF course is good all the

sxrrum NEW FLYING MACHINES.
Curious Letters ana Callers Received
by Professor Ritchel.

Since the announcement Of tie
$500, 900 bequest left by the late William
Maxwell tJ Charles +. Ritchel to i'm.
prove aud experiment with his flying
machine, letters from all over the world
have been pouring in, asking the pro.
fessor for information about the bequeHt
and his balloon. Some describe machines
they have invented. aud many ask for
sums Of money 10 perfect ideas ofNtheir
own. Seven people have notified him
within ten days that they each contem.
plate leaving money to prosecute the
experiments. These seven firmly believe
that flying through the air will be &C.
complshed successfully.
One man writes that he has "lhe only
flying machine on earth in his mind, =
and 500 right of to make drawings and
the first machine. In postscript he
adds that he will send for another $500
II the first is not sufficient. Another
man from st. Paul writes that he has
Invented n flying machine on the frog
system" The machine is to give gigan-
tic leaps Of 800 yards aud come down on
an incline plane plan. Another proposes
to reach the north pole by strapping some
other man to balloon holding enough
gas to lift only part OF his weight so that
he could leap over an iceberg with per
feet ease aud go skipping along until t,e
''polc" was caught.
Another proposes 10 compress, say
$4,000 feet of gas, into a small metal
cylinder of ten cubic feet capacity, and
thus float away with the gas under his
arm.
Another, who signs himself as sea
faring man, writes that he has an inyen.
tion that twill go against the wind,
even against hurricane. llo is quite
sure he can rise In the teeth Of western
cyclone, run his machine with similar
velocity TO that OF the wind, and come
down Just where he started from.
Altogether 1865 letters have been ro
ecived aud sixteen new-b born flying ma
chine inventors have visited Bridgeport
within the last ten days. Some of the
professors friends fear that perhaps the
lawyers will get the fund, as already the
heirs are beginning to question whether
William Maxwell was In his right mind.

to raise a man 200 feet without gas OF

The FaUal Name of Waiter,


Forty.iour years ago the writer was
called in a professional capacity to a
rudely constructed log cabin IN the
woods, sixteen miles east OF this city. A
male child was born-the first.born OF
man and wife--whose intelligence and
general cultivation was much in advance
OF the society in which they lived. They
were determined to make themselves a
home of plenty in the new country by
Stheir own industry, having nothing but
a quarter section of good land and their
household goods. They came from
Clernnont county, Ohio. Three neighbol
women were there. and after the little
stranger was dressed the mother, with
black hair and beautiful eyes, was
asked to name the boy. 81 want to call
him Walter, but it is an unlucky name.
My great grandfather was named
Walter, and he never came home from
the war for independence. Then my
husbands grandfather was named
Walter, and he went to the war OF 1872
and he never returned, His oldest
brother was named Walter He went
to sea and we heard that he became a
soldier in Europe, but he never returned.

but was missing after the battle OF

trace of his death and final resting place
proved futile. No one can tell wuere
when, or how he died, or who disposed
of his remains. His mother mourned
the loss of her firsI-born, aud often re-
gretted that she had named him Walter.
