JOHN ERicssoR's BIRTHDAY.
The Famous Inventor and His Meth
cd OF Life.

John Ericsson win enter upon his eighty
sixth year today. But the years seem to
burden his shoulders no more than so many
feathers. He is now as vigorous as he was
twenty years ago. On Sunday night Mr..
Ericsson worked until II o'clock, went 10
bed at half-past 12, arose yesterday at 7 a. m.
and began work again at half-past 7. His
secretary. S. w. Taylor, who has known
him since 1858, and has been with him 'off
and on" ever since that time, told Tribune
reporter that Mr.. Ericsson had been as bnsv
as bee during the year. and that he had mot
lost an hour through sickness or indisposI-
tion Of any kind.
John Ericsson is the most remarkable en-
gineer OF his age now alive He has been at
the drawing-table for seventy-seyen years.
and therefore made his first efforts at me-
chanical drawing when Gladstone and Bis
marek were infants. He has never smoked.
although his secretary says he likes the smell
OF good cigar. He does not drink, but he
uses pure brandy occasionally for medicinal
purposes, and takes about four tablespoon
tuls year. He Is fond of exercise, and dai-
ly brings his muscles into play BY going
through routine OF calistnenic motions. He
takes daily bath, and his hours Of work. OF
recreation, and Of sleep are as regular as
clock: k:work. He seldom goes out OF doors.
His house, at No. 50 Beach street. Is un-
doubtedly one Of the best ventilated In the
whole city. 1t is cool and pleasant even In
the hottest days Of summer. Modern houses
are not so substantial as the old building In
Beach street, and the weight Of machinery
on MIR. EricssOn's workshop floor WOuld
break down any modern house.

SHERIDAN AT NoNoUiTT.
What the invalid Eats and How He
Feels.

NEW BEDFORD, July 31.-General Sheri-
dan continues fully as comfortable as the
latest report showed him to be, and, as stat
ed in the last bulletin issued, greater varl-
ETY. of food is allowed him. The roast beef
has been supplemented by broiled mutton,
while chicken broth and milk are continued
as principal part of the diet. This is APP
preciated by General Sheridan, who was in
clined to rebel against diet which he de-
clared to be suitable only for babies.
No more callers have been admitted to the
sick room, not because the General Is not
strong enough to receive friend for a few
moments, but because the doctors fear he
will talk too much and perhaps become ex-
direction. Every effort smade to keep him
cheerful, and if there is anything of a dis
quieting nature it is carefully kept from the
invalid.
The General and family are now looking
forward to the arrival of DR.. O'Reilly. who
is expected on Thursday, when DIR. Yarrow
starts Tor washington. In addition to his
investigations at the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, Dr. Yarrow is writing medical his
tory OF the war, and it is quite necessary
that he should not longer neglect his work
DR.. Reilly having been General Sheridan's
physician for fifteen years, and having had
charge of him in his present illness from the
beginning, is looked to by the family with
special confidence, and it is hoped that on
his arrival he will find the Generals strength
sufficient to allow him to exchange the bed
for chair. As may be imagined. man of
so active temperament as the General is ex-
ceedingly tired Of the bed.
1t will be remembered that when General
Garfield was lying i'll, remedies of various
kinds fairly deluged the White House, and
all the cranks in the country sent their ad-
vice. A similar state of affairs has existed
at Nonquitt, and it is greater annoyance
because the room to store them is so small.
Not a day passes but packages of various
shapes and sizes arrive at the Sheridan cot
tage. There are patent medicines, mineral
waters and homemade remedies by the
dozen. These are received from points all
over the country, even the South and the far
West. and are no doubt sent with the best
intentions in good many instances, while
some are evidently advertising lodges, ,others
sent by uneducated people, who take a deep
interest in the General and follow the daily
reports of his case. A good many of the
remedies are for bronchitis, the impression
having obtained that the General suffers
from this disease, which is not the case at
all. The mail that arrives at the Sheridan
cottage is also largely increased by letters of
advice. most of them from people who writ
ing shows them to be illiterate.
Gen. Sheridan continues to sleep we'll. To-
day has been one of the most deli ghtful Of
the season at Nonquitt.

The friends of Representative Jordan, of
Lisbon, have brought hin forward as a can

FROM ONE VILLAGE,
ThIrty-Flve Immigrants Who Have
Failed to get Work.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The Congressional
committee continued today the investigation
into the emigration question. A resolution
was adopted constituting two members as
quorum and providing for the appointment
OF subcommittee of two or three members
to take testimony, ETC., with all the powers
OF the full committee at other cities.
Francis Bumonti testified that he came
from Italy in May last in tramp steamer !;
1900 other Italians were in the same steamer; !;
he was induced to come here like previous
witnesses: agents in Italy told him he could
make money fast here; he had not worked
since his arrival He received help from
the Emigrant Society. Thirty.five men
came with him from his native village, none
of whom had obtained work. The witness
appeared to think, as the rest Of the Witness
es, that the committee was specially ap-
pointed to right all their wrongs and get
them work and high wages: This is the
reason they appear to be unwilling to work
for less than six francs day, with board.
He paid Agent Dorelli 80 francs in last
March as earnest money in the office
of the Emigration Society at Naples,
All of the 35 paid thirty francs each.
and he and his companions got a letter to the
Colonization Society at Naples. People con-
nected with the latter society told them they
would get plenty of work and money In

AT THoMAsToN PRISON.
conyicts Present Their Claims to
Governor Marble.
Ispecial to the Press. /


RocKLAND, July 31.-The : Governor and
Council. with large party of ladies', visited
the State prison today. The Executive was
called there to look into the sewerage matter,
Thirteen convicts took advantage of the
presence Of the Governor to present their
cases. Clarence A. Holmes, serving sem
tence for horse stealing in Auburn, wanted
pardon as he was innocent. Albert Sears,
who was hired by Colby Moore to blow up
doctors Office in Monson, appeared before
the Council and then wouldn't say anything.
Sears maintains that he was sentenced for
arson, but that the building did not burn but
was blown to pieces. James Newcomb,
serving a sentence for burning the Carter
building at Carmel, said he did not burn
those buildings, but another set of buildings.
He got money for it but it was com
mon practice in that section of the State
He enumerated long list of people who, he
said, had burned their buildings. He is
evidently insane.
Samuel Haynes, the slayer of the Rock
land policeman, has not yet been informed of
the report of his connection with the Glen
burn murder. Some of the prison officials
have been satisfied for a long time that
Haynes and the mysterious stranger on the
sled were one, the description tallying SO
closely with him but others say that HAYNES
can prove an alibi. He is dangerous man
at his best.

and some as early as 1756.
1t is thought that this money must have
been buried during the troubles of 1887. The
then proprietor Of the land was brother of
Mr. Louis Hypolite Lafontaine. He was
well to do Canadian, and, doubtless fearing
pillage during the rebellion, deposited the
sum discovered. Another theory is that, in ac-
cordance with the old custom Of farmers, the
money was buried instead of banked, and
forgotten.
In any case Mr., Sicotte, with a pair of
scales, found that he had % pounds weight

BAR HARBoR, July 31.-The hop last eve-

many prominent cottagers appearing among
the dancers. 1t was the most brilliant as
sembly of the season thus far. A storm to-
night will interfere with the ball at Rodick's.
The harbor has been nearly deserted by
yachts since the departure of the Eastern
Yacht Club. The yachts Hope Leslie, Iowa,
Iroquois and Lucille are still here.
