WHERE MAN NEVER PENETRAT-
J- ED.
Lieut.. Allen Safely Back from Sue
cessful Exploration in Alaska.

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Gen. Nelson A..
Miles received a telegram yesterday
from Lieut.. Henry r. Allen, Of tile Sec
ond Cavalry, stating that he had arriv-
ed safely in San Francisco after his
Alaska explorations, having completed
a journey through the regions of the far
North, which, In the opinion of Gen.
Miles, excels all explorations on the
American continent since the time of
Lewis and Clarke, and the worlds re-
cord since Livingstone. aM
Lieut.. Allen left Sitka last February
and journeyed to the mouth of Copper
River, which he followed until he
reached the great Alaskan range of
mountains. These he crossed on snow
shoes to the head ofthe Tennah River
in itself a marvellous accomplish
ment. For 700 or 800 miles he followed
the Tennah until it emptied into the
Takon, the great river of the North,
and followed that to its mouth, a dis
tance of 400 or 500 miles more.
Upon the completion of his great
Journey Lieut.. Allen repaired to Fort
Michel, on the Behring's and returned
on the steamer Corwin. The explora.
ton Of the Tennah and Takon rivers
has been the ambition of explorers
long before Alaska came into the pos.
session of the United States, but the
Russians failed each time it was at
tempted. Since then several explora
tions by American officers have ended
in failure, until among the army officers
on the Pacific Coast the feat came to be
considered well nigh impossible. Lieut.
Aliens companions were sergean
and an officer of the Signal Corps, to
gether with the Indians whom he per
suaded to join him. 0

At the Point of Revolvers by a Gang of
Masked Men.
DETROIT, Michigan, Oct. 15.-The
French congregation of ST. Joachim's
Catholic church, are much exercised
over the action of Bishop Borgess. in
refusing to- allow French priest to
have charge of the church. Much feel
ing has arisen out of the deposition of
Father Laporte and the appointment
of Father Dangelzer, which eliminated
in the following outrage last night.
Dangelzer and his assistant were sur
prised by violent ringing at the door
bell. The door was opened and six
masked men crowded into the entrance
The leader held a cooked revolver at
the brothers. head. ..,.s I.5r
The crowd then proceeded up stairs
and ordered the priests to pack up their
things and vacate the premises under
pain of death. Their trunks were hur-
riediy packed, and the two priests were
escorted to the front door, were carriag-
es and express wagons were waiting to
convey them off. Father Dongelzer laid
the matter before Vicar General Hen
naert, the Bishop being in New York.
1t is generally believed among Catholics
that the Bishop will not only excom-
municate the parties to the transaction,
but will visit his wrath on st. Joach-
inns entire parish. Father Dongelzer
says he can identify the leader of his
assailants. ..s...

from Secretary Manning, the San Francisco

ruling to the effect that in cases where rail-

obliged to deliver it into and receive it from
postofices (which requirement applies to
station where the postof6ce is within eighty
rods of the stopping place of the train,) the
employees carrying the mail between the sta

Then November Popular Science Month
lya leads off with an illustrated article by T.
W. Mather on the subject of "Flying-
Machines" .'Modern Science and Modern
Thought" is a readable and vigorous article
from new English work under that title by
s. Laing, M. P. The liberal tendencies of
modern opinion following the revolution of
scientific ideas are presented in very effect
i've manner. J. M. Keating discusses "Twenty
Years of Negro Education" very instructively,
by giving an account of the progress that has
been made. in the Southern States, both in
overcoming prejudices against the te&ching
Of the colored race, and in devising and car
rying cut plans for its extension. The first
and principal portion of Sir Lyon Playfair's
address before the British Association at
Aberdeen is given on the Relations of
Science to the Public Veal" "Two Wonder
full instruments, nrby Albert Lefingwell, M.
D., is an ingenious chapter in, optics. "a
Free Colony of Lunatics," by Henry de
Varigny, is fresh and instructive account of
the remarkable experiments at Gheel, in
Belgium, concerning the treatment of the in
sane, which have long attracted the attention
Of the world. That brilliant and versatile
writer, Professor Grant Allen, discourses
charmingly on the rural subject of Glover
and John F. Hume offers some important
points, on s'The Art Of Investing"
One of the strongest articles in this number
is by Professor @. A. Eggert, of the Iowa
University, on The Problem Of Higher Edu-
cation" ''The Motor Centers and the Will''
is very able paper, by DR.. Horsley, on one
of the most subtitle problems Of physiological
psychology, and well illustrates the steady
progress that is being made in unrayeling
that mysterious subject. There isa biography
of President Playfair, with a portrait, and an
unusually copious and varied mass of infor-
nation in the several tabular departments,
which close the magazine. This number is
one of more than usual interest and strength.

tB- The news of an outrageous fraud on
the ballot box comes from Hardin county
this morning. A Republican Sheriff and a
subordinate officer repaired to one of the in
terror townships, and, taking possession of
the ballot box, carried it off and counted the
votes to suit the exigencies of the occasion.
The count as reported by these enterprising
gentlemen was such an evident fraud and
outrage that serious objections have been
raised, and the whole township is likely to be
thrown out. This is a sample of the work
that has been done by the Republicans in the
close counties. In this connection Governor

While the prospect for the erection
of a large number Of buildings IN Ma
poleon during. the spring and summer
of 1885 is not quite SO fattering as 1t
might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex-
tensive improvements made on those
which have been in the course OF con-
struction. That good times are near
at hand, and better still a coming, is
evidenced, not only by. the prepare
tions for extensive improvements IN
and around Napoleon, but throughout
the country everywhere. Saur has
already made all the necessary ar.
rangements and purchases OF the dif-
ferent kinds of materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fail to attract
the attention of all close buyers. The
outside decorations which, within the
last few years have become so very
popular and fashionable, and can only
be- made with good paint, can always
be found nice and fresh in all shades
and colors, and in any quantity to suit
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store at lower prices than have ever
been known on some quality of goods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready to tumble down, can, with few
dollars worth of these colored paints,
be made to look nice and good as new.
For the inside decorations within the
last FIVE or six years paper has largely
taken the place Of paint for several
reasons; the two principle of which are,
first, that 1t is very muchcheaper, and
consequently can BE- changed oftener;
.snd, second, that it can be made to look
more rich and beautiful, and it needs
no special artist from Paris or London
to apply lit. Great improvements are
constantly being made in these paper

Needless Alarm About the Water.

Captain Synonds has made second
analysis of samples Of Potomac water,
selected from the canal, the mouth of the
conduit, the middle of the river and
hydrant i'm common use. The samples
were given for analysis to Professor Wylie
of the Agricultural Department and the
chemist in the Surgeon-Generaps Office.
Professor Wylie now says: "The analyses
show that the condition ofthe City's water
supply should excite careful supervision
rather than unnecessary alarm" Captain
Symonds states that the analysis returned
by the chemist Of the SUPERINTENDENT
Office showed Il much lower percent
age of impurity than the first analysis of
Professor Wiley. Major Lydccicr has
submitted Il report on the condition of the
water and diagram of the river and ca
nal to General Newton, Chicfof Engineers.
Major Lydecker states that his inspection
revealed nothing that he had not already
been cognizant of for years. To-day Cap
tain Symonds furnished the key to the
analysis made by Professor Wylic. The
samples and total solids in grains per gal
Ion of 10000 grains are as follows: No. |,
from canal at discharge weir, 7G No. .,
from the middle Of the Maryland channel,
"a; No. s. from aqueduct inlet, -; No. !,
from hydrant at Georgetown office, 60;
No. 3, from water-pipe in laboratory, II.
Professor Wylie adds that this quantity of
total solids is much below that of most
potable waters, and according to the
analysis the purcSt water is from the midi
die of the MARYLAND channel

THE ALERT'S CONDITION.
a story That Astonishes Naval Officer
in WashingtOn,

Naval officers here are surprised at re-
ports of the alleged bad condition of the
Alert at the time of her return to the
British authorities. An officer of the YES
sci to-day told CRITIc reporter that they
sailed from New York with only u work
ing crew on board, but during the trip
they managed to get her in such good con
dition that the British naval officers were
surprised that she looked so well.
No Dominion official was present to re-
ceive the ship, and none ever called on
board, so that on the day fixed she was
turned over to an English lieutenant and
our flag hauled down AS soon as the
British flag took its place the decks
swanned with people from small boats,
who at once began pundcring the galley
of everything portable.
Lieutenant Amsden, who had the
the deck when the vessel was de-
livered, made thorough inspec-
ton, and says all was in good order,
and the engine-room was as neat as any
man-of-war. The vessel was probably left
for nearly month in charge of ship
keeper and was so neglected rs to be
filthy when work was begun ut last
