The phases Of the Moon for October will

800 p. MI full Moon, 29d, 4.22 p. M; last

occultations worthy OF remark during the
month.
The Moon will be in conjunction with
Saturn on the LIST at GIT n. m,, planet A.
ION. north; Mars on tho Sd, ut 2.l3 p. M,
planet 50 Am. north; Jupiter on the 9th. nj
ll.57 n. M, planet Il 25m. north; Uranus
on the 18th, Mt 704 n. M, planet only Gm. to
tho south, but unfortunately this near ap-
proach will BIO Invisible; Mercury on the
18th, at 1858 p. M, planet pom. north, like
wise invisible; Venus on the 18th, Mt GAY n,
M, planet GO 23m. south; Neptune on the
10Th, mt ll.04 n. M, planet q 44m. north,
and again with Saturn on tho 2sth, at O.12
p. m, planet 20 I'm. north.
Mercury will not be visible during octo-
Der. This Is unfortunate, rs he Is rather
close to Uranus on the evening of the 9TH.
On the 10th Mercury passes superior con
junction with the Sun and becomes m even
ing planet.
Since she first became conspicuous as an
evening planet, in the carly part of July,
Venus has moved southwark over range
OF 4Oo. She will keep on In that direction
nearly 90 further, reaching her maximum
southern point-south declination 2Go Him
on November 9th; after which she will
turn her course northward again. Viewed
In the telescope Venus now looks very
decidedly gibbous, about three-fourths of
her disc being illuminated. By the CLOSE OF
the month this Illuminated section will
have diminished to two-thirds and by the
middle OF December she will present only
half disc, like the Moon when half full.
She is approaching US, however, at rate
more rapid than the dwindling of her disc
and therefore, though we see less Of her
yet what remains is growing more brilliant
Thus, given the same conditions of air on
the evenings Of the first and last DAYS Of
October, and Venus will give fully one
third more light at the close of the month
than she does now.
Mars rises now about LIS a. m. and some
two hours earlier by the end Of October.
The diameter Of his disc increases from 81
49, seconds during the month.
Jupiter is planet of the early morning

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Sccretary Whit.
hcy has written to the naval board mn.
pointed to appraise the work of the mn

matter Flo says there is no grounds
upon which the contracts can be assaulted
There was no specific requirement Ms 10

exist in the case of the cruisers. Ue
says there is no suggestion or intimation
retlecting on the character of the work.
and the board are not to allow
any such supposition TO pre.
judice them against the contractor
The duty Of the board he declares 10 he
to examine the work and materials ON tho
three ships,a "ascertain and declare the
falr market value thereof, including n
reasonable and customary margin of
proht on so much of the work as shall
have been satisfactorily performed" He
says turther In one Sense the market
value OF partially completed naval
vessel, useless for mercantile purposes
would be almost nothing. Its saleable
value might be said to be its value for fine
purpose of junk. This is not the inter
probation to put upon the words used in
the contract So far as the government
is concerned, you can treat the work
performed and material at hand as the
parts of a completed ship. You can
determine the value by prorating the
work satisfactorily completed with the
entire work required and ascertain
thereby the pro rata proportion Of the
contract price that the work represents.
Assuming the value of the completed ship
to be the contract price, by ascertainine
the amount of expenditure necessary for
their completion up to the requirements
OF the contract, would leave the value of
the work performed" This arrange
ment, he says, was arrived at after con-
sultation with the contractors counsel,

Wilmington. Thursday, Oct /, 1885.

Cutting down the wages of his hop
pickers is small business for royal Eng
lish duke TO be engaged in, and ill calcu-
lated 10 strengthen wayering respect for
tFaditionary aristocracy among tile
lnassoa. II is comforting to learn that
his employees raised such mn uproar that
the mean scion of royalty quailed before
them and WINS glad to purchase peace by
handing over the prevailing market price
for such labor. The nsc of the word
''baskct'' in the cable report of the
occurrence is misleading. What is evil
IDENTIFY meant is the regular hop piclSers'
box, containing about ten bushels. A
smart workman will fill two of these
boxes per day, thereby earning about "
cents in our money. Tho average rate
for such labor in the hop grow.
ing districts of New York is
SO cents per box. The old
English county of Kent is the great HOP
garden of the world, some 65, 900 acres Of
its territory being devoted to the culture
OF this important ingredient of beer and
ale, and the picking season there resem.
bles the peach season on this peninsula in
its drafts upon the surplus labor for many
miles around. Naturally this tenn
porary influx of laborers brings
with il many turbulent characters
as impatient of restraint and as liable
der provocation, to take the law into
~ rwn hands as the most irresponsible
wn peach plucks;" and, had the
g Edinburgh persisted in the course
I'd marked out, his parsimony might
cost him dear. An accidental
7ould probably have left him few
worth picking and no drying houses

REIORTED AGREEMENT
Between the Pennsylvania and the
NJ. a. d.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 27.-Several con-
ferences have been held recently between
the managers of tho Baltimore 4 Ohio
and tho Pennsylvania railroad companies
with reference to traffic agreement be-
tween the two companies by which tho
passenger aud freight business of the
Baltimore X Ohio to New York by way of
the Baltimore a. Philadelphia lines is TO
be carried over the Pennsylvania tracks,
Overtures were made by tho Pennsylvania
that if the Baltimore 4 Ohio would
abandon its proposed connection with the
Reading and only build its tracks to
Gray's Ferry, the Pennsylvania company
will carry the Baltimore & Ohio's freight
md passenger business to New York and
the east upon the same terms as it does
its own TINT this transportation shall not
be embarrassed in any way, and that the
movements shall be ms expeditions rs the
Pennsylvania does it's own business.
The Pennsylvania also promises to
draw up contracts in such n way TINT il
shall be binding to the. most extreme
degree. This will include the advantage
of passenger service from the Broad
street station. The PENNSYLVANIA asks
that the Baltimore x Ohio take no initia.
tive while the contracts are in force, in
cutting rates from the west 10 New York,
or the east to the west. These oyertures
are accepted, MS has been rumored. The
new line will, therefore, be stopped ut
Gray's Ferry, so far as the Reading con-
nection is concerned, but the line through
''The Neck" to the Delaware river is TO
be built.
At the conference held between the two
companies on the subject, tho chief OBJ
stacle to the contamination of the schemes
has been the contract now existing be-
tween the Baltimore d Ohio and the
Reading. This, however, can be settled
by the Reading getting some colnpen-
sating business from the PENNSYLVANIA
road. 1t is also stated that Presidents
Keim of the Reading and Roberts of the
Pennsylvania have reached busis of nm
amicable settlement of the long-pendinp
contest between the two rival roads.
Officials shy that this deal is n part of a
general harmony scheme among the trunk
lines, and that rs soon as they are per-
fected the Baltimore & Ohio, the Penn
sylvania and the New York Central will
enter pool, and great railroad pence
will ensue.

WARNED.
A Reported Attempt 10 Blow up II.
N. y. Constance.

SAN Francisco, Sept. Considerable
excitement was oceasioned here yesterday
by a report that an attempt had been
made to blow up Her Majssty's ship Con.
stance with m Internal machine which
had been struggled aboard of her.
IL. j. Boez, proprietor of meat stall in
the Golden Gate market who supplied
the vessel with meat, stated that when he
boarded the ship early yesterday morning
he was examined as to any probable
knowledge he might have regarding an
internal machine which the lieutenant
who questioned him said had been sent to
the captain.
Inquiry at the British consulate regard
ing the affair brought forth the statement
from Consul Stanley that the captein had
received an anonymous letter warning
him that IN 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.
Consul Stanley had n conference with
the captain and told him it would be best
to double his sentries and TO challenge
any one approaching the ship. II the
answers to the challenge were not salts.
factory the sentries were to fire blank
cartridges at the first discharge and ball
cartridges Mt the second. These sug-
gestions were adopted by the captain.
The consul further stated that 30 far as
he knew no attempt had been made to
get an internal machine on the ship. The
Constance arrived here last Sunday and
left yesterday afternoon on cruise.

the line ut which the disease can be trans
ferred. The result Of the conference is
not known, bnt the fact Is assured that
the fever line will be established south Of
the Texas Pacific railway, in western
Texas. Colonel Cunningham says there
has been less fever this year than for
seven years past.
A letter has been received in Quebec
from Father Fourinand, director of the
st. Laurent mission, ON the Saskatchewan
river, giving a terrible account of the
hunger and destitution among the In
dians in consequence OF the burning Of
their houses and plunder,ng Of their
property during the Iiiel rebellion, and
the killing, fight or imprisonment Of the
male population. 'fhe women and cliil-
dron are without food OF clothing, and
are told by the government agents to
expect no more provisions. Unless pri-
vate charity comes 10 the rescue at once,
not only these poor people but the mis-
sionaries whose Inst bag Of -four they
have shared will be doomed to death by
starvation.

-FOUR NEGROES LYNoHRD,
The Sequel of Two mysteriousIy
Connected Murders.

OVhhectcu MufneF6s ...
RALEIGH, N. c., Sept 29.-Last night
four negroes, Jerry Finch, his wife, Lee
Tyson and John Pattishill were lynched
one mile from Pittsboro, Chatham county
Ihey were taken from Jail and their
bodies were found this morning suspended
to tree near the public road.
This is the terrible sequel to the triple
murder of the Finch family on the night
of the 4th of last July and of the murder
OF the Gunter family near the same spot
some Is months ago.
There were two of Finch's family.
Edward, aged ~, and his sister aged Sl
They were found on the morning Of
Sunday, July 9Th lying on the floor with
their throats cut. Near them Inv their
servant, a negro boy aged I6. Ali had
been knocked in the head with nm axe.
Suspicion early rested on the negro, Jerry
Finch, and he was arrested
1t was great task from the first to
prevent the lynching of these parties
Lee Tyson was afterwards arrested and
some time later John Pattishill was
taken ON the charge of being con-
cerned in the Gunter murder and
possibly in tho Finch murder. He was
SAID to have been seen near the spot
where the Gunters were killed and
next morning was in another county and
told the first news known then of the
crime. Detectives from Richmond worked
up the case.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury WINS
long delayed, they feeling that il i was
adverse to the prisoners they would be
promptly lynched. The verdict when
rendered was against the prisoners.
A majority of the people appeared IN
be we'll satisfied that these people were
guilty of both murders, for, the two
were mysteriously connected.
