THE LATE GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale Informs the Chau-
tauquans that George Was Quite Human.

CHAUTAUQUA, NJ Y, Aug. 17-To-day Dr. Ed
ward Everett Hale, of Boston. lecturad in the
amphitheater on the Human Side of Washing
ton." The lecturer said he would try to enable
the audience to appreciate the fact that Wash
ington was real man. and not a demigod.
Washington was singularly human. The real
Washington bought lottery tickets and had
habit of falling in love. and was greatly troubled
because the young women would not fall ir love
with him. He was bad speller; he traded
horses, always to his own advantage. and he was
the richest American of his day. Lord Fairfax
brought up Washington to become thorn in the
flesh of George the Third The lecturer lad no
doubt that the hatchet story was true. Wash
ineton was a man of principle and honor, and in
the time of the stamp act was recognized as the
Virginia patriot. Washington was as talkative
among friends as Grant, but as silent as he was
in the presence of reporters. He asked bless
ing at the table; he had his mug of beer and his
glass of wine and was healthy cheerful, act
i've man who enjoyed life as if it were worth liv-
ing. He had great passions, but he held them in
magnificent control. He had some faint idea of
the America Of to-day.

THE DOODLE EXILES.
A Chance Meeting with Fugitive New York
Aldermen in London.

New York Aug 17-Assembyman Jacob A.
Cantor, of the Twenty-third district, who IS
making tour of Europe, writes to his friends
that the first persons he met when he arrived in
Paris were the Doodle exiles, De Lacey, keenan,
and Billy Moloney. Mr.. Cantor was standing in
front Of the hotel where he had engaged rooms,
leisurely putting a cigar and watching the
passers-by. when he received slap on the back
which took away his breath for an instant.
Hello, old man. Delighted TO see you"
He turned himself around and found himself
gazing into the face of ex-Alderman De Lacey,
and saw keenan, and Billy Moloney standing
just behind him. both laughing heartily. They
seized him by both arms, fairly dragged him
into q neighboring cafe, opened champagne, and
insisted upon his dining with them They were
so delighted. Mr.. Cantor said, at meeting some
one from New York whom they knew, that they
acted like crazy men, and refused to let him
leave them for some time. Although they put
on good 'front.'" and appear to enjoy them
selves largely. Mr.. Cantor thinks from the way
they talk that their smiles are all forced, and
that they feel their exile keenly.

Engine. Made to Run wi.h Soda.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17-There are being
CONSTRUCTED at the Baldwin locomotive works
four locomotives which are to be by soda,
which takes the place of fire. Soda has much
the same power as coal without any of the often
sive gases. The engines nearly finished,
and are to be shipped to Minneapolis, Mimi, and
run on the streets Of that city where steam en-
gnes are forbidden. The engines look like
ordinary passenger cars. Inside the boiler is
placed Ave tons Of soda which upon being damp
ened by steam produces an intense heat. When
the soda is thoroughly saturated, the action
ceases, and then it is necessary to restore it by
driving the moisture from it, when it is again
ready for use. These engines are the first of
their kind built in this country. They have about
the same power as those of the New York ele-
vated roads, and will readily draw four light
cars. Soda engines are used in Berlin and other
European cities successfully and traverse the
st. Gothard tunnel under the Alps, where steam
engines cannot be used because the length of the
tunnel renders it impossible to devise a system
of ventilation which will carry off the foul gases
generated by a locomotive.

AN AvALANcRE OF PEAT.
Port Stanley, I'm the Falkland Islands, the
Snfferer-Seyeral Persons Killed.

Port Stanley, in the Falkland Islands, the
Sufferer-Seyeral Persons Killed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17-Secretary Bayard
has received dispatch from United States con-
sui st Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, giving an
account of slip of peat, which occurred on the
night of June 2, causing loss of life and great
destruction Of property. Extending the entire
length of the south shore of the harbor, and at
slight elevation, is peat bog, from which the la
boring population cut their fuel. There are no
channels which drain the bog, and large quanti-
ties of water collect there during the long rains,
which. at certain seasons, lastfor days at time.
For three days previous to the disaster rain
storm had prevailed. About 8 o'clock in the
evening the bog began to quake, and finally,
with noise like thunder. it broke loose, rushing
down upon the town, carrying away everything
in its course. blocking up the streets,
and piling up the peat in places to the
height of six or eight feet. Solid stone
walls were rent asunder fences, porches iron
lamp-posts torn away turned up boats, houses,
all were swept away before its march. The ter
rfed population believed their town was being
destroyed by an earthquake. and added their
piercing yells and cries for help to the inde-
scribable horror of the night. The avalanche
lasted only about an hour, but its path was one
of great devastation. mass of scattered peat,
amounting to no less than $4,000 tons. lay over
the town. boy Of seven and an old man
named Patrick Keating were lost. The body of
the latter has not yet been exhumed. At the
date of the dispatch, fourteen days after the
slide, the people living near the inundated parts
were fearing another disaster, and were con-
stantly on the alert. The consul shared their
apprehensions to some extent, as the winter sea-
con yg hno1 onA vain vvaC at
hand. The citizens of the port had collected
f2OO for the relief of the principal sufferers.

Captured and Abandoned Property To BE
Handed Over to the Owners.
WAsHINGToS, Aug. 1z-Some time ago, Act
ing Secretary Fairchild instructed Mr.. Krites,
chief of the division of abandoned property, to
carry into effect the provisions of the act Of
Congress authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to deliver to the rightful owners cer-
tain articles of jewelry. ETC., captured by the
United States army during the civil war; and
deposited in the Treasury Department. Mr.
Krites has accordingly prepared rules and rsgu-
lations which will govern the restoration of all
such articles, and has just concluded an exam
ination of the articles on deposit They are con-
tanned in two boxes, and consist of silverware,
jewelry, plate, Watches. etc. One of the
boxes contained nearly 500 Watches gold,
silver and brass, and number Of
jack-knives pocket books, letters. etc
These were mainly taken from prisoners of war.
who died in hospitals around Washington Cape
Lookout and Elmira, and were deposited in the
Treasury by General Ketcham. Some of them,
however, belonged to Union soldiers, who died
during the war near the places designated The
other box contained lot of articles captured by
General Sherman's troops in Camden S. c., in
the early part of 1865. They consist OF family
plate, jewelry, etc., which had been deposited In
bank at Camden by Mr.. McRae and other
wealthy residents OF that section. When the
Union army approached the town an effort
was made to transfer the articles to q place
of safety. but it did not succeed, as the troops
came upon the scene while the transfer
was being made. Many of the principal
articles belonging to Mr.. McRae were restored to
him by special act of Congress in 1882. An in
ventory has been made, and il is thought the ar
ticles can only be identified by their owners.
They will be restored upon application, accom-
panied by satisfactory evidence of ownership.
The two boxes referred to contain all property
of the character described now in the United
States Treasury except possibly the presentation
swords belonging to General Twiggs and cap
tured by General Butler in New Orleans. It is
an unsettled question yet whether these
swords can be restored under the provisions Of
the act referred to above. All the other articles
mentioned which have not been restored by
April next will be advertised, and such as shall
still remain in the Treasury for one year from
that time will be sold at public auction

THE BELFAST RIOTS.
4 Renewal of the Fighting-Denunciation of
the Police.

a Renewal of the Fighting--Denunciation of
the Police.
BELFAST Aug. 17.-There was a renewal OF
fighting to-day between the Catholics and
Orangemen, and stones were freely used. The
military charged the rioters and quickly dis
persed them. Several arrests were made.
At a meeting of the Conservative Club here
to-day, at which Mr.. De Cobain. member of Par
lament for East Belfast, presided, resolutions
were adopted declaring that the police needlessly
fired upon the people during the late troubles.
and that they had forfeited public confidence;
also. that the government must remove the paid
magstracy. Mr. De Cobain said that better
men were wanted for the magistracy than worn
out military officers and cadets of eminent fami-
lies.
The funerals of several victims of the riots
took place to-day. They were conducted quietly.
The Nationalists are annoyed because they are
not represented on the royal commission ap-
pointed to inquire into the riots.
Catholic named Lavery is charged with hav-
ing attempted to murder a Protestant named
Boyd, at Lurgan, yesterday.
