THE SOLAR ECLIPSE.

Results of the Observations at Boston ana
Cmcinnati-The Programme Faithfully
Adhered To-Dates for Other Similar
Phenomena.
BosroN, MASS, March 17.-Roofs and
windows were crowded here yesterday
with spectators of the solar eclipse. At
Howard Observatory Prof. Pickering and
three assistants at an early hour in the
morning began preparations to take OBJ
servations. The contact was first no
ticed ct twenty minutes seven Sec
Onds past noon, exactly nine
seconds later than the time
computed by Robert Treat Paine.
At the time of the greatest observation
the moon covered little over ive-ninths
of the suns surface. At twelve minutes
past three the eclipse ended. This was
the last annular eclipse that will occur IN
the present century. The next eclipse
in the United States will take place in
the afternoon on January l, 1889. The
moons shadow will then pass over
Colusa, CAL, and over narrow strip east
of that town to the place where the sun
will set. This Will be the
return of the total eclipse of November
3Oth, 1887. The next total eclipse
of the sun in the Atlantic States Will
occur in the forenoon May goth, 1900.
The moons shadow will then pass from
New Orleans to Norfolk and thence
across the ocean to Europe.
CINCINNATI, o., March l7.-Prof. F. J.
Porter, the astronomer at Mt. Lookout
Observatory, had previously computed
the time of initial contact of the moons
shadow with the edge of the SUMS disc,
and the observed time corresponded with
the computed time, which was
eleven O'Clock nine minutes and
three seconds. Within one second
the moment Of greatest observation
at 1895 p. M, the moons shadow coy
cred three-ffths of the SUMS entire dl-
ameter, but the apparent surface OF the
sun was obscured only one-half. This
was owing to the convexity OF the moons
shadow. The eclipse ended at two
o'clock and two seconds.

that the bill referred to is only a

good job of it.

and that the Withholding of that nu-

even Waco, in spite of its present
flush of cotton and wheat Are you

work at the prices the road can
afford to pay, there is nothing for it
but to seek employment elsewhere
and the company must hunt else
where for the men to move their i'm
mense trains.
The company, of course, takes into
consideration the loss of business
which occurs by reason of the stop
page OF their trains, and from the
further fact that trade is detected
from them If the strike only contin-
ues for a day. This strike has alrea ly
caused rush of freight to the narrow
gauge, which has gorged it almost
completely. AS the spring business
increases and opens out this little
road win be found totally inadequate,
and the roundabout route via the
river and New Orleans will be resort
ed to. Time will be consumed, but
that is not 50 much a hardship after
the country has had time TO accom-
modate itself to the changed condi-
tons of the trade. For these and va
rious other reasons we trust soon TO
see this matter settled and the trains
bearing in our supplies and out our
productions, resume their clock-like
regularity. We sympathize with
the faithful men who stand watch on
this great line, the hard workers
whose march has wrought such q
grand revolution Tor Texas, but We
do not lose sight OF the men whosC
money is placed at hazard by the
strike, either. Compromise is the
