The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1886-02-11

The subject Of telcpathy or the action
of one mind upon another, irrespective of
distance, is attracting attention in Phia-
delphia as we'll as in London. A singu-
lar incident occurred few evenings
since, which shows that if there is moth
ing in teepathy there is at least some
thing queer in condolences. D. J. J.
Levick was sitting in his library talking
to friend, and incidentally the subject
turned upon telcpathy. He had been l.

the fact that it originated from explosion of
saltpetre in Brooks warehouse, and re-
marked: "This gave rise to the question,
will saltpetrc exploded" He had not
spoken or thought of this matter before
for twenty years. The conversation re-
verting to tclepathy it was explained by
SAYING: "Now, if what we are talking
about should be interesting to another
mind, as there is nothing to suggest it,
that would be telcpathy." The CONVEX
sation broke up about midnight, the
friend going home and DR.. Levick re-
firing The next day each accidentally
took up an evening paper and read the
following paragraph: "Therc used to

France and GERMANY,

A dispatch from Berlin says: The agree
ment between France and Germany regard
ing their respective possessions on the west
coast of Africa and in the South sea has been
submitted to the Reichstag, The agreement
contains an amicable understanding with re-
spect to rival claims of the two powers to the
territory lying on Biafra bay, Germany sur
rendering her assumed sovereignty and pro-
tectorate over all that part Of the country
lying south Of the river Campo n lat 3deg.,
and France abandoning all claim to any
territory north of that river France
recognizes a German protectorate over the
Togo territory, Porto SECURE and Little Popo
on the Guinea coast, the frontiers of which
are to be fixed by a mixed commission, the
starting place to be at point on the coast be
tween Little Popo and Agoona Germany re-
nounces all claim to the territory on the coast
of Senegambia between Rio Numez and
Mellacerew, especially Koba and Habitat,
and agrees to refrain from interposing any
obstacles in the way of a French occupation
of the New Hebrides, France agreeing to put
the Hamburg firm of Colin upon the same
footing as French firms in Koba and Habitat
concerning freedom of trade and the acquisi-
ton of land and the payment of taxes and
customs. Germany comedies to King Meusa

Many Disasters to Shipping and
Great Suffering of Sailors.

A Norfolk, Va, dispatch says: The
schooner Col S. w. Race, with lumber from
Petersburg for New York, went ashore in
Lynn Haven bay, in storm one night re-
Gently, and is total loss The crew re-
manned in their cabin, which was half full of
water until morning, when they were res
cued. One man, Norweg ian, attempted &c

The schooner James l.. Maloy, with lumber,
Norfolk for New York, has been towed back
in distress, having been ashore on
Willoughby's spit.
The schooner Frank M. McGear from Sa-

Point. The captain was severely frostbit-
ten.
Steamer Roanoke from New York reports
that at 8 a. IN, when off Cobb's Island Va,
she sighted the three masted schooner Emma
A Voy of New York flying signal of dis
tress. She went as near to her as was safe
and lowered the life boat, which, after four
hours hard work, saved the entire crew OF
seven men. Two of the sChooners crew and
four of the Roanoke's were frostbitten, and
all were sent to the hospital in this city, The
schooner was loaded with coal for New Ha

The Mutiny and Murder on the Ship
Frank N. Thayer.

Captain Clarke of the American ship
Frank N. Thayer, has arrived at Plymouth,
Eng, on the Cape steamer, by which he was
picked up at sea. He relates that the Thaycr
was bound for New York with mixed crew,
including two Manila seamen. These two
men stole .upon the deck one night, and, arm
ed with knives dashed to poles, attacked the
two officers, killing them instantly.
Three sailors, the only ones on deck,
were quickly dispatched. Captain Clark,
hearing the shrieks of the crew,
rushed on deck in his night shirt. The
Manillans slashed him terribly, and he
barely escaped with his life. After des-
perate struggle lie broke away from his
assalants, and rushing to his cabin, locked
himself in. The Manillans battened dowr
the matches and kept the captain and crew
below deck one day and night. The captain
finally fired through skylight at one of the
mutineers aud wounded him in the thigh
The man rushed to the side of the vessel and
leaped overheard. The other mutineer then
went below, fired the cargo, and, returning
to the deck, jumped into the sea. Terrified
to madness, the crew forced their way on
deck, lowered boat and rowed away. The
ship was consumed. The crew wandered at
sea for week before they were picked up.

FIGHTING SHY or THE COURTS
More Trouble Over the Keeping Oh
the Grant Fund.

A New York Dispatch says Judge Noah
Davis and Henry Day, who were appointed to
draw up a deed of trust making the United
States Trust Company the trustee of tho
Grant fund, have performed their work. but
the company refuses to accept the trust be-
cause II involves prospect in litigation, 1t
may be recalled that George Jones, who man
aged the fund invested S2l6,00O of it in
Wabash consolidated bonds, worth SlSSO00
At par These bonds were bought of Gov.
Morgan, who, in consideration of the pro
MUM OF S2S,C00, guaranteed the principal
ana interest," at I Per cent for 10 years, The
bonds are in default
"Ihe Morgan guarantee Mr., Day said to-
day, provides that in case the bonds become
due within ten years of the date of the guar
antee, Governor Morgan's estate will pur-
chase them at PR and pay the interest The
point TO be a5certained is; On what terms
do the bonds become duet We find that the
terms are that the principal of the bonds
shall become due within six months after
there shall be default in tho payment of in
tsrtst, at the option of n ma jority of the bond
holdors expressed in writing to the trustees,
AS there has been no such option expressed,
the executors are bound to consider the bonds
not yet due, This question may be settled,
although doubt it, by a friendly suit, Tho
OK acutorS do not regard this as technical
question within the provision of their author
ity TO decide. Under no consideration viii
the executors repudiate Governor Morgan's
written promise"
There is little probability of the bondhold-
crS asking that the bonds be declared due be-
fore the expiration of Governor Morgap's
guarantee in March, 1890.

Noted Men who Wrote and Fiddled.

We don't know that we ever had in
this country a great sailor who fiddled.
But we have one who writes novels. His
tory will record that Admiral Porter's
naval work was as good as his literary
work was bad. Jefferson was an excel
lent fiddler. 1t is recorded of him that it
was by the excellence of his fddling that
he won his wife from two formidable
rivals. But he was, in reality, many
sided man; there were few branches of
knowledge with which he had not some
acquaintance. The great Condo wrote
very fair poetry, and Julius Caesar, as
everybody knows, thought he was greater
as an orator than as soldier, though his
speeches were really poor stuff. San

MEXICO GIVES HER VERSION
Why Captain Crawford's Command
Mas Fired Upon.

Senior Romero, the Mexican minister at
Washington, has received from the governor
of the state of chihuahua, Mex, an official
report of the unfortunate encounter which
the Mexican forces had with the United
at the mountains OF Bavis, Chi,
huahua, on the 18th ult 1t is stated
in the report that the Mexican
forces, commanded by Maj Mauricio
Corredor, arrived on that day at n place
called liopar, in the sierra of Bavis, where
they knew that the Apache Indians, who had
revolted under the leadership of Geronimo,
were. The Mexicans fired ON the United
States troops in the belief that they were
hostiles, and Maj Corredor, LIST Lieut., Juan
de la Cruz and Privates Madrid and Estrada
were killed and four other soldiers wounded,
As soon as the Mexican force found out that
they were firing on United States soldiers
thoy stopped firing, and expressed to the
latter their regret at the losses occasloned to
both commands.
The report gives rs an excuse for the above
mistake the difficulty of distinguishing the
renegade Indians from the scouts, and says
that, while the latter generally behave them
| selves when they are in their camp and under
the view Of their officers, when they go out
under the pretext of hunting or for looking
| for hostile Indians, or others, sometimes com
lilu Oll ltt'tlui
itants of the frontier, and cannot readily be
distinguished from the hostile Indians. II
was reported from Mexico that the scouts
killed and wounded on the nth of December
n considerable number of cattle and horse:
belonging to Mr.. Jose Maria Torrer, anC
! that on the 23rd, while they were encampet
| at place distant about mile from Guasa

the villages and committed great outrages
| The MAYOR was forced to ask for armed for
ccs to bring them to order, and in the tigh
which ensued, one of the scouts was wounded
The same Indians killed afterward, II heat
of cattle and wounded others near Granadas
and killed two men who were leading tw,
mules loaded with goods, which We're stolel
by the scouts. The report says further tina
the Constitution, the official journal of tn
state of Sonora, contained detailed state
ment of oil outrages committed by the scouts
and the result has been to address a petition
to the general government not to allow TIL
scouts to cross over into Mexican territory.
