Wrecked by the Storm.

BALTIMORE, March 17.-Defnite news of
the destruction of vessel property and the
loss of life on the lower Chesapeake is be.
ginning to come in. In Annamessex river
an unknown schooner was found with = crew
Of six men frozen stiff. In Muddy creek Z
number of oyster dredges are known to have
persisted. The schooner Eastern Light lost
four of her crew. The schooner Joseph
Allen also lost four. 1t is impossible IS yet
to estimate the full damage of the storm on
the Chesapeake, but from data At hand, be.
tween one hundred and two hundred vessels
were either cast ashore or sunk, and from 30
to 40 were wrecked. Probably 80 people
were drowned. Most of the vessels were
oyster schooDers. The inundation of the
lowlands in Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
ginia Peninsula caused great loss. On the
eastern shore people were obliged to live in
attics, and in n region vessels were carried
500 feet inland.

The Bell Patents Sustained.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The Supreme
Court this morning delivered an opinion in
the Bell telephone case. In considering the
question of the alleged anticipation of Bells
invention of the telephone by Refs in Ger.
many, the Court holds that Refs discovered
. means of transmitting musical tones aud
nothing more. Bells patent being for the
process or art of transmitting speech, would
have been just rs valid even If he had used
the apparatus Of Refs in developing it. The
Court holds that the apparatus Of Refs was
not successful in transmitting speech, and
that his invention was not in any respect an
anticipation of the discovery of Bell.
The dissent of Justices Bradley, Field and
Harland is based upon Drawbaugh's claim.
These three Justices are of the opinion that
the evidence overwhelmingly shows that
Drawbaugh was the first inventor Of the
speaking telephone, although he was uncon'
scious of it, and was o aware Of It's import
ance. Justices Gray and Lamar did not sit
in the case. TIE Bell patents are therefore
sustained by q majority Of one, the Court
standing 4 to 8.

Wounded.

SAVANNAH, Ca, March 1.-THE first sec-
ton of the fast mail train from New York
for Jacksonville went through a trestle at .
point seyenty-fve miles south of Savannah

gage cars, smoking car, n coach, two Pull
mar sleepers, and the private car Of the Le-
high Valley. The second engine ran to
Blackshear, q mile distant, for assistance.

present, besides many who were ready to
render assistance in getting out the dead
and rescuing the wounded. Superintendent

of the accident, left Savannah for the scene
with physicians and purses. All afternoon
and evening he had q full force of hands
clearing away the wreck. About four hum
dred feet of trestle was carried away. Up to

THE MILLION DOLLAR FUND.

The General Assembly Of the Presbyterian
church, North, is making an effort to raise,
by subscriptions from the churches, . per-
manent endowment fund of n million
dollars, for the Ministerial Board of Relief.
The interest from this fund is to be used,
with other yearly contributions to this
Board, for the relief Of ~superannuated and
disabled ministers of the Presbyterian church
whose incomes are not adequate to their
support, and for needy widows and orphans
of deceased ministers, who cannot support
themselves. As to the investment of this
fund, the Omaha correspondent Of the Int
rior, feeling confident that the whole of this
fund will be raised by the time of the annual
meeting of the General Assembly in May
next, proposes that Presbyteries at their com.
ing spring meetings overture the General
Assembly to instruct its Trustees "in wri.
ting under the hand of its clerk" to loan all
of our churches aud Colleges, which shall
apply for loans and offer ample and approved
security, the amounts they desire for five, ten
OF twenty years, at S per cent. per annum,
payable semi.annually. In support Of this
proposition he argues that church and Col.
lege property in the West is, with very rare
exceptions, choice property. The very best
locations in the towns and cities. As the
towns and cities grow the property increases
IN value. There are churches in the West
that are paying from Il to 10 per cent. inter-
est on 40 per cent. of the appraised value OF
their property that would gladly take the
same amount on long time at 5 per cent.
But money-lenders as q class have no SYM
pathy for q church or College, and are not
backward about taking advantage of their
necessity and demand the highest rate Of in
terest that they eau get. If the million dol
lar fund was placed within reach of the
churches is would not only be helping the
Board of Relief by securing for it an income
of from $4,000 to 500, 600 more in FIVE years
than if tie fund was invested in the East,
but it would be fostering and building up
churches that in q fe v years will be strong,
~self.supporling churches, able not only to re-
pay the loan, but in gratitude to give liber.
ally to the enlargement of the endowment
fund and annual income of the Board.
