A CORY Sight.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-While engaged in the
search yesterday for the remains of the five
victims of the recent tug explosion, crowd
of men gathered about the spot where the
mangcd remains of William Borne, the
fremen, were picked up Wednesday night.
CHANGING up the tall side of the grain ele-
vator, they were startled to see, pressed in
blood on the slate. perfect outline of
human form, the hands spread apart and
he'd high above the head. The impress of
the face, body and legs were on the side of
the great building, nearly fifty feet above
the dock level, and it was evident that
Borne had been projected with terrific force
from the deck of the tug up into the air and
against the elevator wall, dropping back,
crushed horribly to the dock below. With
the memory of the previous nights shock
ing fatality still fresh in their minds many
of the crowd were completely unnerved by
this CORY sight.

Vows OF CELIBACY.-Rev. R. HebeI
Newton, in his sermon in All Souls Prot
estant Episcopal Church, New York, Sun
day, after describing Wicklihe's attack
upon the friars of his day and their orders,
in which vows of perpetual celbacy, pow
erty and obedience were taken, said: Re.
ferrng to the taking of such vows by Bishop
Huntington's son the other day, l would be
the last to enter upon any criticisms Of my
Bishop. Ispeak simply of the movement
which seems to be making start in our
Church. Is there no lesson for the American
Protestant Church in the action which, at.
ter five hundred years, renews upon the
eve of Wickliffe's memorial day the very
institutions which he resolutely opposed :.
Fair aud noble is the beginning of the orders
which would bind American cergymen to un-
American and un-Protestant vows Of perpetual
celibacy and obedience. Who does not sympa-
thiZc with the beautiful and heroic self sacr
Of the new brother in the Order of the Holy Cruss
who but the other day in our city took these
VOWS? Who does not know that for such min
lstry among our tenemeuts as his holy zeal SETS
before him the married minister with family Of
children is out of place? By all means. let US have
poor men and single men for such arduous tasks,
and if they will be helped in their resolution let
them take VOWS for ten years. But woe bctide
the Protestant Church which returns to orders
with perpetual VOWS which have never yet failed
to result in mischicfs greater than those they
were intended to overcome

ROMANTIC CABRERA poorly-dressed
man, who put UP at MERGERS Hotel, in At
lanta Ga, on Thursday night Of last week
without registering mis- name, was found
dead in his bed. After much trouble, he
was ascertained to be Pink Bradley, who,
when the war broke out, was one of the
most prominent young men of Greenville,
S. G. The day before the company of
which he was a member marched out he
was married TO young lady who was re.
garded the belle of that city. In the war
he distinguished himself, lost leg. and re-
turned home after the surrender to rejoin
his wife. For several years he lived happi.
ly with her, when he lost his fortune by
dissipation, and disappeared with PickeDs
county maiden and lived in Alabama under
the fictitious name of Brothers The story
of his disgrace was not known in his old
home, his disappearance having been at
tributed to foul play, which theory his wife
humored in order to protect his uame, al
though she knew his sin aud his residence.
Recently, Mrs. Bradley came into possession
of o comfortable fortune through the death
of relative. The recreant husband, hav-
ing heard of his abandoned wife's good for
tune, at once deserted his companion and
family in Alabama in ORDER to regain his
oli love and it was on this trip that he came
10 his death in Atlanta.

FROM WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON. d. c.. Jan. 2. 1886
Smythe, the United States paymaster who
has been reported as missing from Saw annah,
turned up here this morning in the Office
Of the Paymaster General, where he made
good all the shortage reported in his &C.
counts. He makes a curious explanation of
his sudden and mysterious disappearance,
but the most natural reason, and one that is
understood 10 be the true one, is that under
The influence incident to the holidays
he went aboard New York steamer at
Savannah, and didn't care bawbee whether
it went to the former or remained at the
latter place, until that influence wore off,
which il did by the Time he reached New
ycxE,when, awakening to the reality of his
condition, he hurried Off TO Washington to
make himself whole. Mr.. Smythe is the son

he is being pressed, for two reasons, one be-
cause some of his words and actions are

Night Duels.

Qult.cc number of noted duels have beer
fought at night, sometimes in total darkness
and more frequently By the light of candles
or torches held by the attendants. One o.
the most noted aud peculiar Of these was in
our own country between two Congressman
James Jackson, of Georgia, who had been
and afterward was United States Senator
was the challenged party. He was an Eug-
lishman by birth. He killed Lieut.. Gov.
Wells, of Georgia, in 1850, in duel, and was
engaged in several other affairs, until he fl
nally determined to accept challenge
on such terms as would make it his last
duel. So upon his next challenge,
which was from Col. L. Watkins, also from
Georgia, be prescribed MS the terms that
each party, armed with double barreled
gun loaded with buckshot, and with hunt
ing knife, should row himself in skit to
designated points on opposite sides of the
Savannah river. When the city clock struck
twelve, each should row his skiff to small
island in the middle of the river, which was
wooded and covered with underbrush. On
arriving at the island each was to moor his
skif, stand about for ten minutes and then
go about the island until the meeting took
place.. l uo seCOuuS Hdltou Ou lue HALL
land until after o'clock, when they heard
three gun.shots and loud and angry cries;
then all was STILL At daylight, as had been
agreed on, the seconds went to the island
and found Jackson lying on the ground n-
sensible from the loss of blood, and his an
tagonist lying across him dead. Jackson
recovered, but would never relate his ex.
perience on the island, nor was he ever
challenged again. He died in Washington
City while serving his second term as Sena-

tician and writer, fought his first duel af

been too severe, and Tabots horse entered the
