and found large city surrounded by
high embattled walls, with towers and
gates, and pagodas with seven stories.
The palace was inclosed by a strong

the kingdom. 1t is large and beauti-

SALEM, VA, March 19.-BeDjamin
Griffith, who shot and killed Pickett
Metz, in this county, on Wednesday
night, was captured in Franklin county
by Officer Joe Abshire yesterday.
The prisoner is now in jail in this place.
John Metz, who was shot about the
same time by Mr.. Adkins, is still
alive and is likely to recover. 1t is
claimed that he was shot through mis-
take by Adkins, the latter mistaking
Metz for Griffith. On the night Of the
shooting Griffith sprained his ankle
and was unable to make his escape. He
was heavily armed and showed fight
when first discovered. He is considered
q very desperate man. He has just
served term in Texas penitentiary.
1t is thought Griffith went to Metz's
house to kill his wife, sister Of Adj
kins. who had refused to live with him.
The Metz boys were highly respected,
and great indignation is expressed by
all who have heard Of the sad tragedy.
Griffith is native Of Franklin county,
and is Of good family.

time having about any Queens and
ninety children. DR.. Marks was
very anxious to get up . school
Is the first step In civilization,
and made his petition, first, for tho
permission and then for building
where it could be held, both Of which
requests were granted. After It was
opened he told the King what an i'm
mense advantage il would be II his
Majesty would allow one or two OF his
children to 60 to the school. /" How
old do you want them?" said the
King. "About ten years DID," re-
piled DR.. Marks. Then, turning to one
Of the Court, the King said : " How
many children have about ten years
old?" SHINE boys, your golden.
frilled Majesty" And nine nice,
bright-looking lads of the right age
were called up and formally given
over as pupils Of the English Chris
tian school. The next day they ar
rived, mounted on elephants but when
they got down and came into the build
ing every human being there, children,
assistants, &c., ali went down upon
their stomachs, prostrating themselves
before the princes, and not bit Of
teaching could be done. Dr.. Marks
had to return to the King and ask him
to give an order by which the usual
ceremonies before royalties, however
young. and small, were to be omitted
while they were in school after which
all went on merrily. The "nine nice
lads" half.brotbers Of the rufiian The
baw, appear all to have been murdered,
with q number Of other princes and
princesses, probably as toQiangerously
near the throne.

THE NORTH POLE.
Progress Made by Successive Ex-
piorers-Ameriea Ahead.


The most recent and authentic publ
cations in regard to Arctic exploration
are a very complete tribute to Ameri-
can nautical enterprise and skill. They
show that the United States is now
somewhat ahead Of Great Britain and
considerably ahead Of other nations in
Arctic discovery. Members Of Lieu
tenant Greely's late expedition pene-
trated the Arctic wastes further toward
the pole than human footsteps had ever
before trod. They also solved some
minor but important scientific problems,
and some new questions relating to the
divisions Of land and sea within the
Polar Circle.
From the pages Of recent books on
the subject Of Arctic discovery and from
other sources we have compiled table
showing the furthest points Of north
latitude reached by Arctic explorers,
up to and including the Greeley expe-
dition:

afternoon the ferryboat Lackawanna,
the train-boat of the IIoboken and
Barclay-Street Line, crowded with pas
sengeIs bound for New Jersey and
western points, was run into in mid
stream by the Pennsylvania railroad
ferry boat Baltimore, bound from the
Jersey City ferries to New York, also

struck well forward in the gentleman
cabin, and was cut through the guards
nearly to the hull Of the boat. 1t is
not known that anybody was killed
outright, but six men are reported
seriously injured, one having both legs
cut off. The total number of injured
must have been considerable. but many
were taken by friends to their homes,
some in New York and others in Hobo
ken. without waiting to make any re-
port of themselves.
Four persons are known to be seri-
ously hurt, two having had both legs
cut off. The Lackawanna narrowly

caused by the pilots of both boats
making simultaneous efforts tor under
the stern Of the Pavonia ferry-boat Della
