THE DANMARK'S PEOPLE SAVED.

THE STEAMSHIP MISSOURI LANDS
800 AT THE AZORES AND AR.
RIVES AT DELAWARE BREAK
WATER WITH 340-NOT ONE
LOST.
LISBON, PORTUGAL, April d.
Forty two of the crew Of the Dan.
mark have arrived here. Mr..
Raben, the first officer, who is
among them, reports that on
April 4 the Danmark's shaft was
broken. On the next day the dis
abled steamer met the steamship
Missouri, from London March %
for Philadelphia and Baltimore
The Missouri towed the Danmark
until the 9th, when the latter seem
ed to be about to sink.
THREW OVER THE CARGO.
AT first the Missouri was only
able to take aboard twenty Of the
DaEmark's passengers, but after
having jettisoned a portion of her
cargo she found accommodations
for all the crew and passengers oil
the Danmark. The Missouri then
proceeded to the Azores, and left
there the first and second officers
and 800 passengers. She then con
tinued her journey to Philadelphia
with $40 passengers and the re-
mainder Of the crew. The captain
and three engineers of the Dan
mark left the Azores on the 14th
for London.
CAUSE OF THE DISASTER.
The Danmark was about 500
miles from Newfoundland when
the accident happened. Some say
that the engines broke down. En-
glneer Kaas was found dead In the
engine.room after the accident.
The death of the Danmark's en-
gineer was due to the bursting Of
an engine pipe. The engineer was
killed on the spot, and the ship
was badly damaged. In conse-
quence of this damage, together
with the breaking of the shaft, the
vessel was helpless in the heavy
seas that prevailed.
LANDED AT LISBON.
Forty.two sailors and all of the
passengers left at the Azores by
the Missouri came to Lisbon on
the steamship Acor.
The captain and three engineers
proceeded to London Oh board a
steamer from Demerara.

SAVINGS OF WORKING PEOPLE
IN AMERICA AND ENGLAND.

A recent American economist
Celebrates a comparison In figures
between the superior comfort and
thrift OF the working classes here
and those of England, as shown by
saviugs.banks statistics claiming
that "savings banks are organized
for and patrOnized by wageearners
almost exclusively
After showing by official figures
the absolute accumulations in the
savings banks of Great Britain, in
GLIDING England Scotland, Wales,
Ireland, aud the Channel Islands,
with a population of 1924 900,
and comparing the same with the
population of New York state, with
only about 100000, or much less
than a sixth of the number, aud OF
the laborers OF the former number
ing 5,1S1, 900, with the l,SS4,OOO
Tor about one-eighth) of the latter,
our valued contemporary summar-
ICES the condition thus:
"In other words, the l,S44,OOO
laborers of New York alone have
to their credit S93,623,OOO more
than the entire 10, 900 labOrers
Of Great Britain have to theiI
credit; and each New York depos
itor in savings banks has gained
on the average since 1860 more
than fourteen times as much as
has the average English laborer.
ain Massachusetts (the nursery
of protection) the depOsitors IN
savings banks average two TO each
family.
ain Great Britain the depOsltorF
in savings banks average one tc
every thirty families"
1t may be truly claimed, and it il
most vigorously claimed by ouI
free trade friends, that more wages
are no criterion of prosperity, but
the ratio which such wages bear tC
requisite expenditures. In the
foregoing no reference has beer
made to the superior style OF food
clothing, shelter aud so forth adopt
ed by the American working
classes, emitting those important
considerations on each side of The
water but 1t is conclusively shown
that the American wOrkingman, IN
dependent OF his greater consump
ton has had fourteen times greater
accumulative power since the pro
tective era of 1860 was inaugurateC
than bis competitor in England
has possessed. Thus it is again
demonstrated that Grover Cleve
lands apothem, repeated and
blindly endorsed by free traders
that it was a condition and not
theory that confronted them, Is
sufficient apology for their Danish

Came to Life in his Coffin.

The resurrection of Mack Fran.

succession until lt was in the
mouths of thousands Of people and
acknowledged to be most remark

of the hanging that Francis neck

OF strangulation, struggling and
groaning piteously for a long time.
He was finally cut down and put

reaction to take place within a
very short time. Within the course
of the evening the negro had OBJ

miserable noise IN the coffin, when
the several negroes who had charge
of the wagon abandoned their post
and fed. The incredible report
was made and some drawer person
advanced to the spot, and on open.

that the body was then placed In
the hands Of a physician, who

restoring the negro to perfect ac'

a secret 80 far as possible, for fear

AS SWIFTAS THE TELEGRAPH.
A SYSTEM BY WHICH MAILS CAN
BE TRANSPORTED AT LIGHT.
MING SPEED.

BALTIMORE, April ia CORE
spondent writes to the Mdnufdc'
turer'S Record from Laurel, Md, as
follows
"The Baltimore A d TOM {
Transit company is conducting a
series of experiments which the
officers of the company believe will
bring about a revolution In the
transportation of express, mall and
lighter freight. The company has
constructed here a circular track,
two miles in circuit, upon which its
experiments are conducted. The
system of propulsion is much the
same as on the ordinary electric
railway. The Edison Dynamo and
the Sprague motor are employed.
The overhead rail is the main feat
ure in the system, double Hanged

ing upon it when the train Is in
motion. The idea Is to have sta
lions at twenty-five miles or more
apart supplied with dynsmos of
sufficient power to furnish electric
force enough to drive the train for a
round trip. The company have been
working for over q year past get
ting the experimental plans ready,
and have made several trials Of the
system, which tentatively, we're
quite satisfactory,a surprising speed
belngattained. The projectors ofthis
enterprise expect to work such 3
revolution in the carrying Of mails
and packages that one may sit
down to breakfast In Atlanta or
Chicago aud read the Baltimore or
New York papers of the same
morning. The practicabllity of the
scheme has been passed upon by
Professor w. q. Rowland, Of tho
Johns Hopkins University, aud
Thomas A. Edison, the latter OF
whom is said to have declared 1t to
be the greatest conception since
the telegraph.

INCREASED SALARIES TO CON
GRESSMEN.

A rather simultaneous demand
has lately appeared IN the press
and elsewhere demanding larger
pay for Congressman of both
houses than their present salaries
of $4,000 per year.
The tone which permeates such
suggestions is 80 uniform as to
awaken a suspicion that it is from
a common origin and intended to
create a popular conviction, frstly,
that SAID congressman are very
poorly paid for their labor, and,
secondly (Which is a corollary OF
the frst), that their stipend is not
enough to keep soul aud body OF
the genus homo species Congress-
man together.
That the first claim is bosh IS
shown by the eager pressure OF
candidates to get into Congress,
and the second is sufficiently dis
posed of by the fact that such a
Democrat as Samuel Randall and
such a Republican as William d.
Kelley can and do exist in republi'
can simplicity at Washington,
doubtless far within their salaries
In fact, at least one of our State
delegations club their lodgings,
using a common parlOr, and prob.
ably each takes home three or foul
thousand per year OF surplus
earnings.
When the comparatively small
part of the year in which Con.
gressmen are on duty is considered
aud compared with that required
of other of our citizens who are
wage-earners the pay seems al
least proportionately large. Eng
land and Russia pay the members
OF their legislative assemblies moth
ing. In Holland the Deputy
receives $3.50 a year. Belgium
pays $S5 a month. Norway pays
$3.50 day. Brazil allows Sena
tors 1880 a session and Deputies
S1,2OO. Canadian members Of
both Senate and House of Com
mons receive $1,000 and expenses
of thirty days or more. Mexlct
allows the members Of each House
$4,000. the Argentine Confedera
ton $500, and the United States
$4,000 per year. In former times
when IS per day was paid TO-
Congressional work, such men al

The LeConte belongs to the

from just this latitude in China,
hence it grows well in Louisiana and
all the gulf states.
The best for the LeConte il a rich
clay loan with a hard subsoil. On
this the trees not only grow very
rapidly, hut bear young, and the
fruit is of the best flavor.
The. tree will, however. grow well
in any soil THAT is well drained and
msnured, this being its ciaimatic
home.
IF well cared for. trees when four
years planted will produce some
fruits. and when fve years planted
will bear at least one bushei to tho
tree.
Last year VIC gathered six bushels
of pears from u tree iirc years planted
but il was an exceptionally large

our trees bore o woadcrful crop.
From one tree six years planted,
we picked thirteen and from a very
