DEATH OF COL. EGAN.

After lingering illness of nearly a
year, Col. P. Egan breathed his last
on Friday of last week, aged about
fifty years. In sickness or health he
was accomplishing, and passed
through the ordeals of life and death
with christian fortitude.
He was soldier in more sense than
one. He had manly bearing about
him, and an honor able sense of JUS
tice and Difference to all.
His military record is bright and
brave, and the annals of his country
show no more loyal spirit. He rose
to be commissioned officer in the
95th Penna. Regiment, and served
with Mcclellan from Yorktown to
Fair Oaks, and in all the battles on
the Chickahominy and on the Re.
treat, at Bull Run, Antietam, Fred
ericsburg and Charlottesville, with
Burnsides and Hooker,-at Gettys-
burg,and with Grant from the Wilder
ness to Appomattox. He had all the
virtues of a Northern soldier, and all
the polish and suavity of Southern
Gentlemen.
Lincoln Post No. /, Dept. w. Va,
G. A. r., attended his funeral in a
body, he having been member Of
that Post.
The death of Col. Egan is the loss
of a kind father, good citizen and
warm friend of everybody.
He was man of more then usual
intelligence, polished in his manners,
agreeable in conversation. and of
happy and kind-natured disposition.
Fond of pleasant story, his COM
pany was always appreciated, and
his hearty laugh chased even the
shadow of gloom away. Alas! He
is gone, and like him all must depart
in time. {kft fANss Et9
His life as far as we know him was
blameless. He lived and let tive, and
believed aud let believe. If the OBJ
servance of christianity means any,
thing it is the golden rule in practice,
and in his life among us there is no
one but will remember him with the
kindest feelings while mourning his
death in the sadness Of departed
friendship. l3
OF late years Mr.. Egan had been
travelling in the shoe trade, and while
out West about year ago contracted
cold which brought him home sick
and led to his death,
He leaves a wife and child, who
have the sympathy of all in their dis
tress.
The funeral took place Sunday af-
ternoon from st. Joseph's Church,
and the remains were laid to rest in
that cemetery.

SHILLING TROUBLED WATERS.
Interesting and Successful Experiment in the
Use of Oil on Stormy Oceans.

New YORK, April 8 oil as an agent in quiet
ing raging sea has been recognized for some
time past. but it has never been put 70 any prac-
tical purpose in this direction far as the pub
lie has been aware of. An inventive genius,
however, claims to have mastered the situation.
and if SO, vessels in violent storm, judging
from experiments reported. may now be enabled
to sail through smoother waters in tempestuous
weather than at any other time in all nautical
history Wilhelm Meissel. second officer of the
steamship Werra. of the North German Lloyd
line, has invented an oil rocket that throws oil
over very large area. The invention consists
of the rocket proper and oil cylinder with
an exploding chamber. The cylinder is fash
ton91 tom and 'H'n top. D." and the exploding
chamber is also made of tin and has a hollow
tube reaching into the center of the oil cylinder
filed with powder. The rocket may be
pioded under the water, and the oil, being light
er, naturally rises to the surface Interesting
experiments have been made proving the prac-
tieal value of the invention. In Novem DER last,
on a voyage of the steamship Werra from New
York to Bremen. Captain +. Bussius took
hand in ascertaining how much benefit it might
be to navigation. A rocket with oil cylinder
four inches high and diamater of one and
seven-eighths inch fired at angle of
thirty degrees. 1t few thousand feet in
front of the vessel and the cylinder exploded at
q height of twenty feet above the water. The
oil was distributed over ares of about two
thousand square feet Another rocket, five

fifteen degrees, in order to make it ex-
plode under water. The feat accomplished,
and the oil rose promptly to the surface and
was distributed over vast Many other
experiments were made on the day mentioned,
and each followed by the spectacle Of
comparatively smooth wherever the oil had
spread Experiments were also made on No
vember 15 and Is, on the river Weser, in the
presence of the imperial commission, Captain
Welkmann and Captain Noltenius, of Bremen
Haven. From the deck of the steamship Werra
five large rockets were fred q distance of f. 800
feet, and the oil covered of 1000 square
feet. AS as the oil had spread, the rolling
of the sea quieted down. The rockets have been
used in this port in the way of experiment. and
