The Horrors at Sabine Pass.

GALVESTON, Texas, October 19.-The
local relief committee that visited Sabine
Pass and went as far rs the entrance to
Johnson's Bayou has brought back com.
plctc list OF the names of the colored people
drowned at Sabine. Ofthe colorcd drowned,
30 bodies are still missing, while all but II
of the whites have been recovered and in
tered. 1t is thought that some of the
missing bodies are stuck in the mud, which
is several feet in depth on the bottom Of
Sabine Bay and in the river fronting the
spot where the town formerly stood
Measures for the relief of the distressed
are being actively pushed at Houston, Gal
weston and other cities. The Galveston
committee, who returned last night, have
issued second appeal to the citizens, and
new subscription lists will be circulated to-
morrow.
Members of the local committee say the
calamity grows with each hour. AL tidings
from the devastated region make the disas-
ter far greater and more distressing than
at first thought possible. Mr.. Lasker of
the committee was one Of 1000 or more
who fled for their lives On the night of Gal
vcston'S great fire. He also recently visited
the drought-S,ricken districts Of Northwest
Texas, but declares that neither Of these
cala,nitics compare in point of suffering and
distress with What he witnessed Sunday at
Sabine Pass AID Johnsons Bayou.

The Eastern War Cloud.

| SOFIA, October 20.-Gadban Eifcndi
| the Turkish ambassador, has informed the
Bulgarian ministry that he has been in,
structed to act in concert with General
kaulbars, the Russian agent, whose arr:va!
at Sofa, he says, he will await before
making for Turkey definite proposals to
Bulgaria, strongly advising the ministry,
however in the meantime. to concede the
Russian demands and postpone the meeting
of the Great Sobranjc to elect successor
to the Bulgarian throne
AS soon as Effendi's Information was
received, a special Cabinet Council was
held to consider what he had presented.
The result of this council was that Gadban
Efendi was informed that the Bulgarian
government would no more brook Turkish
than it would Russian interference, but
would resist both.
1t is reported in kankofT pro Russian)
circles that Gadban EtTend! has co2tiden-
tally stated that the Gar has made ar
rangcments with the Porte, the Car guar
anteeing the integrity OF the SIltan's
dominions. reducing the Turkish war in
tlcmnity and obtaining permission to garri-
son and fortify the Dadauelles and occupy
Bulgaria with Russian and ROumelia win
Turkish troops.
Alarm is felt here over the massing Of
Turkish troops, which is in progress along
the Bulgarian frontier.
The Regency have published decree
convening the Great Sobranjc on October
81. All foreign Consuls except the Russian
representative will attend the opening.

4 Wealthy Mans SON.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., October 90
The trial OF John Patterson, which began
here 70 day, marks the beginning of the
end of 4 remarkable. career of Grim" Pat
tcrson is the son of Ezekiel Pattel. one
Of the wcalthicst citizens of this place, and
the nephew of eX-Judge Patterson, who
owns large part of the town of Perth
.Amboy He was heir to all his fathers
wealth, yet he left his home, associated
with the roughs of the town, was several
times arrested for drunkenness, finally took
to petty tlieving, was accused of assault,
and was, in short. thoroughly bad His
father threatened to disinherit him, and
savcral times turned him out of the house;
but John became worse, and his trial to-
day is the result of charge made by his
sister that he came home one night to rob
the house and assaulted her when she dis
covered him 1t is thought his conviction
is certain, although his uncle, the Judge, is
assisting in his defence. and his father has
hired the best counsel in the city. The
opening of the trial was marked by an at
tempt Of the defence to prevent Miss Pat
terson from testifying because she is in
clincd toward agnosticism. Friends Of
Patterson say that although he is bad he
was made worse by the fact that his father
was too severe with him and too inclined
not 10 spare the rod.

Sugar W ar.

\ big sugar war is being carried on ID
Charleston, as will be seen by the following
from the lAeirx and Courier Of this date:
\ reporter was sent out yesterday to re-
connoi;er. He found the war in full vigor,
and presents the results of his observation
for the benefit OF housekcepers. A grocery
merchant, who was not in the fight when il
began. was found busily engaged in writing
out his advertisement. From him the fol,
lowing quotations were obtained:
Cut loaf sugar Is to 16 pounds for 81;
usual price 10 to - pounds for 81.
Granulated sugar 1G to II pounds for 81;
usual price - to 13 pounds for 81.
\ sugar II 10 IS pounds for 81; usual
price y TO II! pounds for 81.
Light brown sugar 20 pounds for 81;
usual price 16 to u pounds for 81.
Ordinary brown sugar p pounds for 81;
usual price Il TO IS pounds for 81.

CURED the reporter.

il the Necc$ and Courier. As long as any
body cuts prices I'm going to cut, too, and
I'm going to keep it up if ii breaks me.
Further inquiry elected the fact that the
sugar war has had tendency to reduce the
prices Of other staple goods as well. One
firm was offering yesterday whole rice at
Is cents a peck, usual price from 50 cents
70 81 and Fulton market beef at 8 cents Il

The Law of the Road.

TURN TO TIE 1GIIT.-The most impor-
tant law Of the road is, that when two per
sons in vehicles coming from opposite di-
rcctions are about 10 meet. each shai!
reasonably bear to the right OF the middle
or travelled portion OF the road. so that
they can pass each other without inter
ference, A traveller is not required to keep
on the right side of the road ali the tine;
he can drive where he pleaSes or where the
going is best, so long as he turns to the
right when he meets another vehicle II
the middle and usually Travelled portion OF
the road is very muddy, and for this or any
other reason persons are travelling along the
side of the road, then the one who is Oh the
left side of the road is in duty bound to
turn out. In Massachusetts it vas held
that when the part Of the road which
is wrought for travelling IS hidden by
snow, and q path is beaten and Travelled
on the side of the wrought path, per
sons meeting on such side path are each
REQUIRED to drive their vehicles TO the right
of the middle of it. 1t should. however,
be remembered that this law Of the road is
not an absolute and inflexible one. Cir
cumstances may arise which would justify
a deviation from it, and when they do arise,
a traveller cannot stick blindly 10 the law,
and then claim damages if he is Injured.
In the crowded streets OF metropolis
drivers are required % exercise very great
care, and when the high degree oi care
dictates departure from this Jaw ci the
road then it is not only justitiable, but a
failure to observe it might cut of ones
right TO recover damages if he is injured.
This turning 10 tie right IS Just tie opposite
of that in England, which requires all
drivers to turn to the left. Tic rule OF
turning in England is based Oh long-hon-
ored custom: our rule is established by
statute in several States OF the Union.
FooT PAsSENGERs-All persons have
the same right to walk in the highway that
they have to drive there, and they have the
same right to wall in the middle of the
street thatthey have to walk Oil the loot
paths at the SIDE. When one is walking in
the wagon track. he must observe greater
care to avoid collision with vehicles, bCt
the fact Of his being there IS not Of itself
negligence. 1t is his duty 10 turn oui for
teams, especially if heavily laden, tu;
teamsiers have 70 right to run over him
simply because he happens to be in the
way. They would be liable for the injury
if they did Foot passengers have the IN
doubted right to cross the street at any
time and place, and persons driving along
it must use due care not to run into them,
and must hold up to let them get by The
foot passenger must also exercise due care
to avoid injury, for if he docs not, he can
recover no damages if injured. If lie sees
a team coming at q rapid rate he is not
justified in attempting 10 cross ahead OF il,
nor should he attempt crossing a crowded
thoroughfare without first looking Gaze
fully both ways.
