AN EVENrFUL VOYAGE.
The Douglas Hovey Beset by Water
spouts and a WhirIwind.

The schooner Douglas Hovey, Capt.
Wright, arrived yesterday from Philadei-
phia with a cargo Of railroad iron and
coal. The Captain reports long and
eventful voyage. He left Philadelphia
July 1, aud experienced heavy rain
squalls with southerly winds during the
entire passage. On leaving Philadelphia
he had light southerly winds to Hatteras,
around Hatteras with heavy
southerlies during that time. On
July II, about 6 o'clock in the evening,
three large wateTspOute were sighted, the
largest a tremendous one. The Captain
says it was the largest he had ever seen.
1t came close to the vessel, and the Cap
tain and crew began to feel very anxious
about il and got QUO all the guns and pis-
tolls on board. They intended 10 fire into
the spout to break it by conclusion, but it
passed by without coming nearer than 100
yards to the vessel. The sight lasted about
10 minutes. There was a heavy north and
west wind blowing at the time, and as
the waterspouts appeared the vessel
barely escaped being torn up by an I'M
mense whIrlwind which passed just across
the bow OF the schooner. The vessel
was then twenty miles south southeast OF
Hatteras. The spouts and the whirlwind
passed TO leeward in 10 minutes and i'm
mediately afterward heavy rain squall
set in. The Captain says it was a grand
sight to view, but just at that time ne did
not like the close proximity of
the spouts and whirlwind, and
the scene was not rs enjoyable
as it might have been. After that he ex-
perienced nothing but southerly winds
and rain squalls until he arrived off Ty-
bee Saturday morning, when another very
large waterspOut was seen about 10 miles
northeast of Martins Industry ligntsnip.
IL was too TAR away from the ship to
cause those on board any anxiety.
The Hovey arrived at Tybee Saturday
evening and came up to the city yester-
nAY.

About | O'Clock yesterday morning four

Old Son of the Steward of the steam

The Remains Recovered ana Taken

An unusually sad drowning occurred
Yesterday afternoon at the Baltimore
steamships wharf. The steamship VIM.
Crane arrived about , O'Clock. An hour
later, when the passengers had gone on,
MIR. J. W. Fatquharson, the steward OF the
vessel, took his two little children, While
c.. a twelve-year-old boy; and a ten-year-
old daughter, out on the wharf The fam-
ly's home is in baltimore, and the children
came out ,thfss "trip with their father TO
spend net 9th vacation, both having
sDeaSx School until shortly before the ship
g}s6f some time the father watched the
schiidfen playing about the wharf, and he
caNtioned them not to 90 near the edge.
He was sitting on bale of hay nifty
feet from the river, and suddenly
got to doing. Directly be was
awakened by the frantic cries of his little
daughter, who was calling TO her father.
Mr. FarquharsOn spranE up, but the child
was 50 terrified that the parent could not
understand ner. MOI seeing MS OLheT
child on the wharf, he surmised the truth
and ran to the edge OF the wharf. The
lads hat was floating down the river.
Two meu in Il boat and in mld-stream
were rowing with all their strength to-
ward the wharf. JOnn w. VIM, the
diver, VINO happened To be on the wharf,
was overheard ike a flash, but the child
must have been at once carried to the
bottom. Several persons were standing
in the stern of the Crane, and saw the boy
fall into the river. 1t was flood tide and
there was % feet of water at the wharf.
VIM dived again and again, but could
not find tue body,
Graphing hooks were got out, ana IN
fifteen minutes after the lad fell over
board his body was caught and pulled up
on the wharf. The child was rolled on ii
barrel while physician was sent for
DR.. Dunn soon arrived, and he made
every effort to resuscitate the boy. A
feeble pulse was obtained once and 1t was
thought the chld's lite would be saved.
After few beats the pulse ceased. The
doctor worked for forty five minutes,
when he saw That there was no hope. The
father was frantic with grief, and many
of those in the crowd could not keep back
the tears from their own eyes as the pa
rent In his agony embraced the lifeless
body and called IL by name.
Coroner Dixon was summoned, but he
did not hold an INQUEST. Mr.. Farquhar-
son left on tue north-OOuud train last
night for Baltimore with mis- daughter
and his sons body. The mother, VINO is
at home, was notified by telegraph.

A FAIR DAY AT LAST.
No Probability of "A Drought-Foul
Weather Approaching.

Weather Approaching.
After seventeen consecutive rainy days
yesterday was fair. Not drop fell dur
ing the twenty-four hours. The spirits of
the rice and cotton planters, photograph
ers, base ballists and washerwomen rose
accordingly. The mercury In the Their
mOmeters that were exposed To the sun
also rose accordingly. In the shade the
mercury got no higher than the SO deg.
mark, but in the sunshine 1t went away
above SIS deg.
Last night the indications were not IA
vorable for drought. A low barometer
wave followed by a heavy rain storm was
moving in this direction from the south
west. Yesterday the rain advanced from
Pensacola to Eastman, and foul weather
within the next twenty-four hours was
wired to Washington last night as the
probabilities at this station.
Never since this signal station was es-
tabIished has there been such continu-
GUS rainy spell. More rain has fallen at
times within a mouth, but ten or twelve
consecutive rainy days have been the most
generally. In Jhlrty-three days immedi-
ately preceding last Saturday there were
thirty rainy days. Rice and cotton fields
grew weedy, base ball players had a rest,
photographers could not get fair weather
enough TO take pictures and washerwomen
had 10 dry the clothes in their houses.

Eve.
Fronl "a Boston HeraLd.

From. the Boston HerdLd.
Those who are familiar with the strong
personal characteristics OF Senator Beck
will smile to learn that he didn't like Sec
rotary Manning at first because he was
"such a - blunt man and SO
obstinate" "He used to make me SO
mad" said the Senator, that [ seldom
left the Treasury Department without
swearing that | would never put my foot
within the doors again. He was so In
formally setin his opinion that one couldn't
convince him with facts or arguments.
The more you talked TO him the closer he
would stick, and you couldn't move him
an inch. II there is anything | despise,"
continued Mr.. Beck, lit is these -
obstinate, intolerant, pig-headed fellows,
who won't be convinced on any subject,
and think they are always right and the
rest OF the world always wrong, and at
first i thought MIR. Manning was one OF
them but, after got acquainted with him,
| began 10 like him, and the more | saw
OF the man, the more respect | got for
him. found he was the back bone OF the
Cabinet, aud mad more sense than all the
rest OF them. He and 1 cot alOng very
well together, and / was willing to put
up with MS -- blunt ways, because |
saw 1t was natural To him. and he didn't
mean To be oppressive" A broad smile
passed over the face OF everybody in the
committee room, when Senator Beck was
telling this story, and when he finished
there was roar Of laugble Ter, at which
the Kentucky leader ooked very much
astonished. After awhile he went to one
OF the party, aud asked IN the most inno-
cent way: ''What IN thunder and hsht-
ming were you fellows laughing at when
| told about Mauning's ways this morn
ingT "Oniy because II reminded us all
Of man we know very well and respect
very highly" was the reply, aud senator
Beck looked more puzzled than ever.

The Orange City Ola. Times says: F.
G. Austin, W. f. Lancaster and President
j. K. Thwlng went to Sanford July 10 by
appointment with Judge Foster, to make
application for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the B. S. 0. G. and A. railroad
company. No friction was anticipated.
and hence none of JacksOnville's attorneys
came up, but lett it in the hands of Mr.
Austin. An unexpected opposition was
organized and appeared at Sanford for the
purpose OF defeating the prayer OF the bill /.
This opposition was completely thwarted
by an amendment which made the oppos-
ing parties defendants to the bill. Judge
Foster then at once signed a decree APP
pointing Dexter Hunter of Jacksonville,
receiver, and fixed his bond at $50. 900,
Mr.. Hunter will at once make report
and give bonds, after which the gentle
men will move for court certificates to
complete the road. Under the present ar
rangements the road will be comp etcd as
soon as men and money can do 1t, and
there will be no pay DAYS with no money,
for all arrangements are made for the
necessary funds, The receivership was
the only course to save the interests of
the company and the creditors from being
almost, If not wholly, sacrificed, but now
the creditors may reasonably hope to
finally receive their just dues. The ar.
rangement does not include the DeLand
branch, as the parties who will furnish
the money decline putting anything into
that enterprise.
