Something Serious Happens to the New
Brunswick With 100 Passengers.
BosToN, October ia Herald special
from Digby, n. S. says: Yesterday after
noon the steamer New Brunswick Of the
international line, plying between here
and Boston, left for the latter place at
about o'clock with over 100 passengers,
freight, etc. To-day the lighthouse keeper
here reported that the steamer when near
ly II miles off Trout Cove slowed up and
remained nearly stationary until after
dark. A little after dark rockets were seen
ascending from the steamer and then fire
burst out where the steamer was supposed
to be. Two captains of fishing vessels
saw the steamer and corroborate this re-
port of the light house keeper. It is
thought by some that the steamers boiler
may have burst, because if she had taken
fire her boats could have reached shore
long before now, as the bay was calm.
Evidently something has happened to the
steamer, as all agree that before dark she
remained in the same place for hours.
Many persons having friends on board are
almost wild with suspense.

City, was thriving little post village of
Jefferson county, Texas, situated on the
Gulf OF Mexico, vt the mouth of the Sabine
river, about sixty-six miles east-northeast
of Galveston. 1t contained several hand
some church buildings, a bank, ample
educational facilities, besides numerous
large stores; which gave it commercial im-
portance in the county. The population
in 1880 was officially stated to be 457, but
the past six years have doubtless doubled
the figures. An attractive feature of the
place was its picturesque situation, front
ing on fine sea beach whose natural beauty
and eontiguity to the village made it some
thing of a watering place. In favorable
seasons it was numerously visited by vale
tudinarians and pleasure seekers from the
surrounding country, who found both
health and pleasure in the bracing air and
the surf bathing it furnished.

Experience On the Lake.

Experience On the Lake.
CHICAGO, October 15.-Dispatches re-
ceived to-day from various points in North
ern Indiana and Northern and Central
Illinois report serious damages by the
severe storm of yesterday. Houses were
unrOofed, fences demolished, and some
stock killed. No loss of life is reported
rs vet. A number Of frame buildings in
the suburbs of Chicago were blown down
and portions OF new building in the course
oferection in the city We're badly damaged.
The little town of Lehman, consisting OF
about 30 frame houses, and located on the
line of the Chicago and Northwestern road,
was entirely demolished. The buildings
were not completed, so that no one was
hurt.
1T was one of the phenomenal storms
of the year" said the signal officer, 'and
there are some points about it which will
be of great interest to the scientific world
1t was characterized by one Of the lowest
barometric preSSureS ever observed. At
Chicago, when the storm center was here,
the barometer registered 29,O9S corrected
for sea level. There has never been 4
storm in which all the indications OF its
formation were more decided"
The storm on the lake was the seyereSt
that has been known for q number OF
wears. About 9 o'clock, the wind, which
had been blowing fresh from the south,
veered suddenly to the west and ushered
in a gale, which steadily increased in
violence until O'Clock in the afternoon,
when it gradually subsidized. At = O'Clock
the man ut the Crib reported that the wind
was blowing seventy-Oue miles an hour,
which was the greatest velocity attained
by the storm. Fortunately there were
few vessels outside the harbOr, and COM
paratiyely little damage was done.
A heavy fleet left here for the east shore
Wednesday, and grave fears are entertained
for its safety. The general opinion among
yesselmen is that the full fury of the gale
would be felt of the east shore, and that
REPORTS of accidents would be received
from Michigan before evening. The pro-
peller Jaw Gould came in from Lake Su-
perior last night. She was ten hours late.
Captain McCauley says he has never eX-
perienced so severe storm on Lake Mich
loan. He sailed direct course from the
Manitous and had the wind almost abeam.
4 tremendous sea was running. Seas
swept broadside over the steamers hurri-
cane deck, and the captain was thoroughly
drenched while standing on top OF the
pilot house. He saw no vessels In dis
| treSS.
The Signal Service announces the APP
proach of cold wave from the West and
North, and predicts that the temperature
will fall from I6o to $50 within the
next b hours.

BRADSTREETS' REPORT.
A Moderate Check In the Movement Of
Merchandise.


NEW YORK, October 15.-Special tele-
grams to Bradstreefs, note moderate
check in the movement of general mer-
chandise throughout the country. This
appears due in part to natural reaction fol-
lowing the season of active trading, and in
part the effect of the late period Of un-
seasonably warm weather. This is nota-
bly, true at Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago and
st. Louis. The situation, however,
still continues very favorable,
with quite full volume of
transactions and a very widespread feeling
of confidence in the future The total
bank elearings from thirty cities begins TO
reflect the check to the cause Of trade
with an aggregate of Sl,096, ,s2l,-
GA, against 1,205, ,603, l3s last week.
The decline on the week is nine per cent
the gain compared with the second week
in October 1885, is ten per cent. New
York, rs millions; Philadelphia, 5000
900; Boston, IL million, and Chicago 8
million, as compared with last week.
The domestic money markets as a
whole have not been quite so stringent as
a week ago, Cincinnati particularly re-
porting money returning from the West.
The New York stock market
has been in the main quieter,
with considerable reaction from higher
pressure of the preceding weeks. Later
there was some attempt to revive the bad
feeling, one stock (Mahattan) show
ing permanent advance. Total shares
of stock dealt in the week ., 526, 96s,
against :, ,203,,7l9 last week and !, ,S59, l29
in corresponding week last year.
Bonds have been firm with an advance
in some speculative issues. Transactions
this week were $40, l07, 200 against Sll,-
s35, 500 last week. Money at New York
has been extremely firm and an increased
demand from mercantile sources has kept
the rate from 6 to per cent, rs high ~
10 per cent being asked in some instances
with time money scarce and in active de-
mand at per cent.

Failure to Approve the Resolution to the
Congregational Council.
CHICAGO, October 15.-The Protestant
Episcopal Convention was opened this
forenoon by the reading of prayers by Rev.
C. A. L. Richards, Of Rhode Island. A
message from the House of Bishops, while
expressing sympathy for all wise efforts to
increase the knowledge of the Bible IN
heather lands, does not deem it expedient
to incur further expense. The House OF
Bishops also recommended the appoint
ment of joint committee to
whom shall be referred all
reports relating to the aged and
intrm clergy fund. Another mes
sage recommended that the two Commit
tees on Christion Education under the au-
spices of the church report such ways and
means as seemed practical. The cOnsecra-
tion of Rev. DR.. Mahlon NJ. Gilbert, to
be Assistant Bishop of Minnesota, was ap-
proved by the House of Bishops.
The House of Bishops also returned q
communication in reference to the propos-
ed resolution of the House Of Deputies to
the Congregational Assembly which among
other things declares: 'The House of
Bishops takes the opportunity to assure
the House of Deputies of its profound
sympathy with the spirit of their resolu-
tiOns. This House declares its hearty re-
spect and affections for all who love the
Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, and at this
time especially, for their tellow-Chris-
tians assembled in this city
as the National Council of Congre-
gational Churches in the United States.
This House also avOws its solemn purpose,
under the guidance of the Holy Spirits, to
promote, with the concurrence of the
House Of Deputies, some practical plan for
bringing before our fellow Christians in
this land the duty to our common Lord
and Saviour of terminating the unhappy
divisions which dishOnOr His name and
hinder the triumph upon earth of His Clio
rious Kingdom"
The communication states that the resO-
luton is returned with the foregoing state

prove the resolution contained in the mes
sage. The House of Deputies agreed to

The Lake Disaster.

CHICAGO, October 14.-The propeller
John Pridgeon, Jr., which sunk the Selah
Chamberlain in collision off Sheboygan,
arrived here to-day. Captain Sherwood,
commander of the Pridgeon, complains
that his statements in Milwaukee have
not been correctly reported. He
now claims that the Prid-
geOn was beating against a strong
headwind and could not have been going
faster than four miles an hour, while the
Chamberlain was steaming before the
wind and consequently must have been
travelling at a great rate of speed. Capt.
Sherwood insists that it would have been
folly to have launched any life boats, as
they would surely have been lost.
