A CANAL BUILT BY STEAM.
No less interesting is tie history of tie
construction of tie Albemar and Chssa-
psake canal, which has become the high
way Of CONNIE, CO lew IN tie Chessp aaks
b and the Albemarle sound, N G. It is
ore of the most imrort mt Of the many
navigable feeders of Baltimore. 1t may
be said to be tie modern rapid canal in
diatinc ion from the old, snail pace water
way. Not shovel or picksxe was ma.
nipulsted by band in IFS constr uction. Ii
was built by steam and powder, and steam
only is used in navigating its waters Its
founder and builder was Mr.. Marshall
Parks, and he built it with $40, that sum
representing all the cash he had when be
began its construction, bat he was subee-
uuentIy aided by the State Of North Caro-
lima. He saw that Norfolk must have q
more navigable connection with the Able
marie sound than that afforded by the Dis
NAL Swamp canal, whose terminals were
bad. The lack of funds was an obsts Gle,
but not an instrumental ls one. He made
the necessary surveys, and tten went to
Buffalo, N. Y, where he contracted for the
construction of the canal. Young as be
IS, and inexperienced, he compelled the
Buffalo contractors to aid him in borrow
ing funds with which to construct the ca.
nal. When finished it became an impor.
SAINT waterway, and has proved profitable
investment for those who had the hardi
hood to risk their funds in the days VIZ
its future seemed dark and uncertain.
MULEYs. STEAM POWER.

WAsmNGroN, Pa, July l7.-Sales OF

two or three days than formerly, more

-Four Pension vetoes.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1.-THE
President to-day vetoed four private
pension bills. The first granted a pen.
sion to the widow of John Herbs., who
enlisted in 1862. In August, 1864, he
was captured by the enemy. After
his capture he joined the Confed.
crate forces and was recaptured
by the Union army, and he
explained thathe deserted to the enemy
to escape the hardship of prison life, and
was released and mustered out on OCto-
Der II, 1865. The disability for which
his widow now asks for pension, the
President says, were quite likely the re-
suit Of exposure in the Confederate
army, and adds:
1t would have been a sad condition Of
affairs if every captured Union soldier
had deemed himself justified in fighting
against his Government rather than to
undergo the privations OF capture. Two
OF the other bills vetoed granted PEN
sions to Woodford NJ. Harkins and
Thomas Shannon. In these cases the
President finds that the death Of the
benefciaries had no connection with
their military service.

LONDON, July 1.-THE following un
signed telegram was received here las
night:
civilian Walter Phelps Dodge, ofthc
well known New York family of that
name, ran away from Keswick yester'
day with Miss Ida Cooke, the eques'
trienne and daughter of the proprietor Of
Cookies Circus, spent tthe night at Work
ington, and were captured by the irate
father at Carlisle, en- route to Glasgow,
where they intended to get married.
Young Mr.. Dodge has cabled to his
family that his honor demanded a mar
riage with the young lady. The latter's
father, when last seen, was furious and
brandishing cowhide."
The memory OF young Dodge's imagi-
nary marriage with an heiress in New
York, and the graphic description there
OF, which was furnished TO the press by
the imaginative bridegroom, being still
fresh in the public mind, the correspOn-
dent wired to Carlisle for description
OF the scene. The reply is MS follows:
At an early hour this morning gen.
tleman residing ut Cumberland Road
discovered that his daughter had surrep-
titiously left his residence. Diligent in
quiries. revealed the fact that she and q
young gentleman, said to have been an
American millionaire. had taken first
class tickets at Workington for Glasgow,
and had munifcently feed the guard to
see that they were left alone. The pair,
who were fashionably attired, arrived ut
Carlisle station at 500, and afterwards
took seats in first class carriage OF the
Caledonian Express for Glasgow, due to
leave here about 0 o'clock. In the
meantime, however, the Inspector Of
Police arrived at Carlisle station at 500
and informed them that the father OF
the young lady had telegraphed to have
them stopped. The young gentleman
seemed very much agitated and loudly
regretted that he was not in free
country.
In the course OF few hours portly
gentleman arrived from Keswick. When
he was brought face to face with the
young couple his feelings seemed to be-
come uncomfortable, and sevefal times
he brandished his umbrella about the
young mans head in a most alarming
manner. Finally, after much angry dis
cussion Of an unedifying nature, the
young lady burst into tears, threw her.
self into her fathers arms and protested
that she loved him best and would never
leave him again. The happy father re.
turned homeward with his wayward
daughter by the next train. The young
man is still here in town and visibly
very much depressed.
1t will be remembered that after the
bogus marriage and advertisement es-
Capade young Dodge was sent by his
family for Il five years tour around the
world, to improve his mind and con-
duct.

MARIETTA, o., July 1.-THE Marietta
Centennial grows in interest with the
week. The great crowds are still here
and form the large and intelligent audi
ence for the historical addresses OF the
week. To-day Senator W. T. Wallace
presided. The morning Grafton was by
Hon. William NJ. Evarts, OF New York,
delivered without manuscript. twas a
mastery and philosophical discussion Of
the situation that led to the ordinance
Of 1887, and the fruits that fol-
lowed the settlement here. He
felt honored for himself, and for
his State especially, to speak on the oc-
casion. The sole distinctive feature Of
the 10Th OF July is the specific transac-
ton OF the promulgation OF civil govern
ment and the opening Of the courts, but
this was a wonderful exhibition OF the
energy and purpose and far-extending
forecast OF these forerunners OF this pres
ent population. The notable fact re-
mained, he said, that the civil govern
ment opened On Tue euSe Ol Lle great
forest, had never been overthrown. He
dwelt upon the Divine purpose in max
ing this country one from ocean to ocean.
He treated OF the causes that kept this
vast country so long a wilderness.
In the afternoon Hon. ]. w. Belknap,
Of Michigan, presided. The address was
by Louis G. Palmer, OF that State, fol-
lowed by Hon. W. F. Smith, represent
ing Illinois. This evening there was
given in the great hall a magnificent
historical pageant, representing the
landing here, the Inauguration Of st.
Clair, the first court, the Blennerhasset
drama, and other scenes, in which the
costumes and furniture OF the early set
tiers were used. Among the noted ar
rivals to-day are Senators Evarts and

THE FTERY FTNERTY
Attacks the Irish Policy of the
Pope Of Rome In
RATHER FORCIBLE LANGUAGE.
He Says the Pope is Supreme in Re-
IIgIon, but as an Italian Politician
Has no Right to Interfere
in Irish Politics.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE letter Of the
Pope explaining the rescript on the
Irish question has naturally caused an
unusual stir among the Irish citizens Of
Chicago.
A reporter for a local paper called on
ex-Congressman John F. Finerty, the
gentleman most prominenti in the meet
ing OF protest called at Battery D some
weeks since, and asked him what he
thought OF the new explanation. 81 can
only say what l said when the rescript
was first discussed" was his reply. at
is IN interference in Irish politics, II
Archbishop Walsh had taken the
ground he should have taken this second
letter would never have been sent. II
the Irish Bishops ofthe Nineteenth CEN
turY had the backbone Of the English
Bishops OF the Thirteenth century, they
could easily have brought Leo &III to
terms. As it is the fight falls on the
people. The issue is made at last. For
the last 700 years the Irish people have
been suffering the tortures OF the
damned because of papal interference in
Irish affairs. Next to England Rome
has been Ireland's greatest political
enemy; and it is on questions Of politics
now alone and not on matters Of faith
that ] am speaking.
"To have the homes OF Ireland leveled
to the ground, the fathers and the
brothers and the sons butchered, the
wives, sisters and daughters outraged,
the infants piked or bayoneted, and all
promiscuously starved in a combination
OF horrors before which the devil him
self would stand lappalled-if that is
legitimate government and Pope Leo
NH maintains that it is-then legiti-
mate government springs from the devil
and not from God, and it should be
stopped whether the Premier OF Eng
land or the Pope OF Rome is its mouth
piece.
"The Pope OF Rome has no power to
damn me OF any other Catholic. His
latest utterance is an outrage on Irish
Catholic manhood and wOmanhood.
The Pope OF Rome, the head OF the
Catholic church, is in all matters OF re-
ligion supreme; but the Pope OF Rome,
an Italian Prince with an Italian policy
to carry out, at no matter what expense
to the other Catholic people, is a fair
subject for Irish criticism, andit is from
this standpoint criticize him. ] am
Catholic am n beliver in the Catholic

an Italian, and am not to be sacrificed

CHICAGO, July l6.-A dispatch from
Omaha, Neb., says: One night last
week train on the Burlington & Miss
ouri, consisting OF half dozen cars, was
derailed ut Gibson by an obstruction
placed upon the track. While engaged
in assisting in the work OF putting the
cars on the track n watchman claims
that he saw a man light something with
a cigar and turn and swiftly disappear.
Fastening to the spot where he had
stood, the watchman says he found a
fuse burning, and by prompt action ex-
tinguished It. 1t was then discovered
that the fuse was attached TO can
which contained perhaps one-hali pound
OF powder, which was tamped in with
coal. The bomb, il it may be called
such, was taken in charge by the watch
man and turned over to the officials OF
the company. 1t is reported that the
man who committed the act is we'll
known and will be arrested shortly.

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, July l7.-United
States Marshal Marsh and two deputies
brought informer Bowles here this
morning to test the truth OF his story
that a dynamite cartridge had been
placed on the Burlington track north
east OF here, and subsequently, in con-
sequence OF fear OF results, had been
concealed in hedge near by. The Off
GERS and railroad officials and q number
OF municipal officers and citizens went
to the spot that Bowles indicated, and
after considerable digging, found the
dynamite cartridge. 1t is now in the
hands OF the railroad officials. The
sheriff and other officers then went to
the home OF George Clarke, one Of the
leading Brotherhood engineers, and put
him under arrest on a States warrant.
Clarke made no resistance, and would
say nothing save to assert his innocence.
George Miles, another OF the striking
engineers, was arrested at II a. IN. for
completely in the alleged attempt to
blow I'M train on Nav 20.

The Burlington Wants to End the Strike,
but will Continue the Suits.
CHICAGO, July 17.-speaking to a re-
porter regarding yesterdays conference
with the representatives OF the Engin-
eers and Firemen's Brotherhoods, Cen
eral Freight Agent Morton said that
while the railroad people are desirous
that the strike should be declared off by
the Brotherhood, yet they have no in
tention OF compromising any OF the
pending criminal suits, nor could they
II they would. Proceedings have been
begun and they must take their courses.
Nothing was said or done ut the con-
ference to justify the belief that there
will be any compromise which will re-
lease anyone now under arrest. On the
contrary, another man will be arrested
at Galesburg to-day, the last one against
whom the company has strong evidence.
"All the company will do il the strike is
declared Of" added Mr.. Morton, sis to
take back all the Brotherhood men it
consistently can-men who have taken
no violent part in the troubles. There
is probably room for $50. There will
soon be another conference at which a
final agreement may be reached"

Ohio, Visit Wheeling.
1t has been some time since Wheeling
had visit from officials or Couucilmcn
Of another city who desired to inspect
her brick pavements ar any other OF her
metropolitan institutions. The party
which came here on such a visit from
Newark, Ohio, last year must have been
very favorably impressed, for yesterday
another delegation, consisting Of thirty
seven gentlemen, officials and members
OF Council OF that city, came over and
spent the day here, stopping at the Nc

the Baltimore & Ohio road last evening.
In the party were Mr.. L. Nichols, the

A member Of the party said in answer
to inquiries by an INTRLLIGENcER re-

was to examine the workings OF the
electrical street railway here. A com.
pany is now constructing an electrical
railroad from Newark to d town six miles
distant. The conductor for the motive
power will not be strung on poles, as
here, however, but put under the
ground. The gentleman talked to OBJ

struction OF the streets by the poles and

WASHINGTON; D. c., July 1.-THE
sundry civil appropriation bill, as re-
ported by Chairman Allison, increases
the total four million one hundred thou.
sand over the House bill. The increase
includes the Wheeling custom house
amendment of S27,5 500. Senator Allison
expects considerable trouble with
the House over amendments, but
he will probably secure the adoption Of
most Of them. The Democrats OF the
House have again pursued their tradi-
tional policy OF making appropriations
insufficient to keep things going and
throwing the odium, II such 1t is, on the
Senate OF increasing the amounts. In
the present instance, Senator Allison
and his associates have taken hold OF
this odious job with great nerve, and are
putting the appropriations on gener-
Gus basis. Senator Faulkner will look
especially after the Wheeling amend
ment, he being its author, and Senator
Allison has promised to fight for 1t. On
the whole, things are hopeful for the
elevator and extensive repairs in the
custom house this fall.

morning probably saved the lives Of
himself and Judge Grinnell. In a small
