An Alleged Attempt to Fasten an Internal
Machine TO a British Vessel.
SAN Francisco, Sept Considerable
excitement was occasioned here yesterday
by report that an attempt had been made
to blow up Her Majesty's ship Constance
with an internal machine, which had been
struggled aboard of her. 81. j. Boez, pro-
prietor of meat stall in the Golden Gate
Market, who supplied the vessel with meat,
stated that when he boarded the vessel yes
terday morning he was examined as to any
probable knowledge he might have regard
ing an internal machine which the lieu
tenant who questioned him said had been
sent to the captain. inquiry at the British
Consulate regarding the affair brought forth
the statement from Consul Stanley that the
captain had received an anonymous letter,
warning him that an attempt would be
made to attach an internal machine to the
ship. The letter was friendly in tone and
only purported to warn the captain,
and told him it would be best to
double his sentries and to challenge
any one approaching the ship. If
the answer to the challange was not sat
isfactory, the sentries were to fire blank
cartridges at the first discharge and ball
cartridges at the second. These sugges-
tons were adopted by the captain. The
Consul further stated that, so far as he
knew, no attempt had been made to get an
internal machine on board the ship. The
Constance arrived here last Sunday and
left yesterday afternoon on a cruise.

The Canstatter Festival.

The fifth annual festival of the Canstat-
ter Volksfest was held at Caledonian Park

weather of Wednesday afternoon kept
away hundreds who would otherwise
have attended. Notwithstanding the
drizzling mist, however, about 500 peo-
pie danced the evening and night away to
good music. On Thursday the afternoon
concert was largely attended. After the
concert there was sheep race, two hun
dred pound-and-over fat men raced
themselves thin, three-legged men walked
against each other, some enterprising
youths climbed the creased pole, and a
hundred and one other pastimes made the
fest long to be rendered and helped to
make the affair decided success, About

Autobiography seems to have run wild
in the Board of Aldermen last Tuesday
evening. Some weeksago a sweeping ordi-
nance forbidding the use of horse car tracks
in the city for any other than passenger
accommodation was passed. 1t was intended
MS thrust at the running of freight cars
to and from the railroad and steamship
docks. Mayor Collins, who has never yet
been accused of corporation leanings,
vetoed it on the ground that it would help
to drive interests from the city that are
profitable to it; that it would even pre-
clude the use of snow ploughs; and that it
is in contravention of rights already granted
by the Legislature. Either one of these
reasons should have been sufficient to have
defeated the ordinance on its final passage;
but it went through the Board as though
it were one of the most benefcient pieces
of legislation that had ever been devised.
We fear that the Aldermen have let their
Monopoly zeal run away with Their
Judgment. 1t would be well for them to
recognize the fact that railroads and steam
ships are very good things in their places.
and that whenever they can be turned to
popular advantage they should be utilized.

true, it was a cold-blooded murder, with

The local features of the daily afternoon
papers of Monday last were the possible
elopement of Father Butler with Miss
Mary Ellen Brady-which, for the credit
of the church with which Father Butler
was in fellowship, we hoped was not true;
the death at Greenville of Mrs. Crowley,
from violence; the collision between the
Aurania and the Republic, and the killing
of Thomas Sexton by Flood. The readers
of the SUNDAY TATTLER did not have to
wait till Monday for the details of these
matters. They were all furnished 10 these
columns last Sunday morning.

Reported for the STAUNToN VINDICAToR.l
BRowNsBURG, VA. Aug. 7, 'S5.
Thursday evening last the ladies of
| New Providence gave an entertainment
in the Academy for the benefit Of the
Presbyterian church. Mrs. farley with
| her varied styles in wax works was duly
presented, together with the farce Jona-
than Scruggins.
Early in the evening, hacks, bugges
and wagons. from far and near, began to
| eniiven the scenes in the little town and
| and long before the appointed hour the
cozy Academy Chapel was filled to reple-
ton. The flutter and buzz behind the
scenes indicated considerable excitement,
tho it might have been caused by a prema-
ture winding up" of some Of Mrs. JAR
ley's winged figures; however, when the
curtain rose the old lady seemed perfectly
at home. and with her varied styles Of
| figures in grotesque costumes arranged all
around, presented quite alaughable scene.
The faithful John was on hand and one
by one he would 'bring out another
fgger.''
! These were in turn explained to the
full extent of all their wonderfulness,
and being duly wound up by the i'm
perturbable John convinced the audience
that Mrs. farley had not overrated them.
The play was presented in four parts, each
vielng with the other, both as to brilliancy
of costumes and the mirth they occa-
stoned,
The evening concluded with the very
humorous farce of Jonathan Scruggins,
in the following cast:
Elizabeth Brown, ... Miss Josie Jackson.

of sweets. The whole affair was COM
plete success and credit to all who par
ticipated.
Mr.. Stuart S. Patterson. who so excel
lently personated Mrs. farley, had charge
of the entertainment, and too much can
scarcely be said of his good management
and discretion. For amateurs, all did
