THE JOHNS HOPKINS ALL RIGHT.
President Gilman's Explanation Ex-
plOdes q Sensational Statement.

In view OF the reports which have recently
been published respecting the Johns Hopkins
university President Gilman authorizes the
statement that the university will begin its
next year on the LIST of October with unim-
paired efficiency. Neither the salary of the
president nor those of the professors have been
cut down, and several new appointments have
been made. The indications during the sum-
mer have pointed to the usual number Of stu
dents, and the courses of instruction will be
given as announced in the program. As to the
finances of the university it is no secret that
the income derived from the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad was cut off some time ago, but
the accumulated income of former years,
the income from investments out
side of the railroad, the income
from tuiton-which amounted last
year to nearly $40, 000-are available. Besides
all this, number of generous persons have
subscribed the sum of $105, 000 to be expended
as an emergency fund during the next three
years. In addition a new building, given by
Eugene Leverlng of Baltimore, is now going
up. lectureship in literature has been en-
dowed by gift Of s2O. OO0 BY the requests of
John W. Mccoy the university inherits at once
his choice library of 5000 volumes, and is the
residuary legatee of his estate. The exact
amount to be received from this source cannot
yet be ascertaIned, but at the most President
Gilmans estimates place it above 800, 600, ex-
elusive of the library. 1t is safe to say that
within six months the Johns Hopkins university
has received from these various sources nearly
$500, 900, and other gifts are expected. The
national character Of the institution is O strong
reason why its work should receive important
aid from a distance. 1t will thus be seen that
no consideration need be given to alarming
marks, as the present efficiency of the university
is assured for the next three years.

ICELAND FISHERIES.
New Grounds Discovered by . Glouces-
ter Captain.

A Gloucester (Mass.) dispatch 10 the New
York Times says: Capt John Marshall, who has
just returned from a fishing voyage to Iceland
in the schooner Landseer, brings interesting
and valuable data. The Landseer sailed from
this port April and arrived at Dyreford April
%. No drift ice was seen on the passage, which
was something unusual Another remarkable
fact was that no ice was seen on that coast dur
ing the three months stay there, while during
the three preceding seasons there were large
quantities Of heavy drift ice. which impeded
the progress Of the fishermen in April and May.
The Landseer sailed 100 miles further to the
northeast than American vessels ever ished be-
fore. and discovered new fishing grounds of
Skagastrand, % miles northeast by east and 80
miles north-northwest Of Sigleford harbor, in
latitude Sc degrees and As minutes north. longi-
tude 20 degrees 26 minutes west. The bank
discovered was from to miles wide and IA
deep. and around 1T the sea was 500 fathoms
deep. This bank is notlaid down in the British
admiralty chart. nor is any note made Of 1t by
the Danish survey.
The tide on that coast sets eastward two
thirds of the time, and when within 10 miles of
land tee compass was found to work very hard
being presumably affected by some magnetic
influences. In places, notably in the vicinity of
Faxafiord, Skagastrand, Bugt, or Hume Floin,
the compass would hardly work at all. The
Landseer started home in August, coming well
to the northward, within rs miles of Cape Fare
well, but saw no ice until August IA, in lati-
tude "a degrees 4 minutes, longitude 40 de-
grees 40 minutes when she passed twenty
seven enormous bergs drifting southwark. It
was found here that the current set continu-
ously south, and the vessel made 80 miles south

FINANCES OF THE b. AND O..
A Prospect Of q Good Showing for the
Past Month.

The board OF directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad win hold their first regular meet
ing since last June on next Wednesday. The
Baltimore American today says. The road has
been doing very heavy passenger and freight
business lately and there are indications that
the monthly statement Of estimated earnings
and expenses will show handsome net balance
OF earnings over the expenses. The last state
ment showed estimated net earnings Of e660
for the ten months Of the present fiscal year
and the FIRST balance on that side since monthly
statements have been published. The company
has been spending great deal Of money dur
ing the past year &c bring the standing Of its
equipment up to the luxurious desires and ex-
peetations OF the travelling public and these ex-
penditures and improvements have been APP
preciated and largely patronized It was nec-
essary to do this to hold its customers
against formidable competitors, both in
the transportation Of freight and passengers
The damages caused by the storms and floods
to road-beds and bridges last spring were very
extensive, and required very large sums of
money to put them in good condition again.
The earnings Of August, 1888, were the heaviest
in the history OF the company, and the esti-
%, l50, 600, or about S160 900 more than during
the same month last year. These large re-
ceipts were divided about az follows: $4,000
from freight and so, 900 from passengers. The
new fast freight train between New York and
Baltimore has proved great success, and was
only behind schedule time once in thirty days.
1t is fast building up o good business, and is
being appreciated and patronized by Balti-
more merchants. First Vice President Smith
is in the west and will not return until after the
sale OF the Cincinnati, Washington and Balti-
more railroad next Thursday.

HOW HE FOUND THE WILL.
A Michigan Lawyer Gives Brief For
tune to q Penniless Orphan Girl.

A Monroe, Mich, dispatch says in 1892
Alonzo Hersey died in this city, leaving a
widow and foster child, whom he had never
legally adopted. He left considerable real
estate, but as there was no will the wife could
not inherit il under the laws of Michigan nor
could the daughter, Lucy Barcume. The real
property reverted to Nathan Hersey,
Spencer, Mass, father Of the deceased. In
1so6 the wife of Hersey died, leaving by will
all her property to Lucy Barcume, but as the
personal estate was small Miss Barcumes in
heritance did not serve to relieve her wants,
and she went out to service. Elan Willard
frequently limited that Hersey left q will, and
by that will his property went to his wife and
should now belong to Lucy Barcume. Early
last spring Willard announced that he had
found the missing will, and be offered il for
probate. The instrument was signed by Will
lard and one +. Raleigh as witnesses. A law
yer from Massachusetts, came here and offered
TO pay Miss Barcume Ell 500 for a quit-claim
deed As the young woman was a minor, the
probate judge refused to sanction this move
but insisted that the will should be probated
Willard became frightened and announced the
will was q forgery, and that both body and
signatures had been written by himself in his
own office. In explanation of such a reckless
proceeding Willard said he knew Alonzo Her
sey intended Lucy should have his property.
and that he manufactured the will in order
that justice should be done to the poor girl.

Paying Royalty for the Privilege of Do
ing Farm Work In America.

A Cedar Rapids, Iowa. dispatch to the Chi
sago Herald says a sensation has been created
there by the publication of an article emitted
"A Great Swindle," detailing the fleeing of
English boys out of sums Of money varying from
S250 to $500 for the privilege of working year
in this country on a farm. There are in that
city more than q score who have been duped
by English firms and placed by the local agents
here. Being ashamed of their verdancy they
never mentioned the matter, and it was only
through the confession of Percy Cook, sixteen
years old, who was recently placed, that the
whole matter came to light. The article gives
the names of twenty young men in various
positions in Cedar Rapids now who came to
this country under the impression that they
were to become gentlemen farmers in a year.
The firm OF Ford, Rathbone Co., with head
quarters at n Finsbury pavement, London, is
the one that has duped most of these boys. 1t
undertakes to provide "a practical instruction
in farming in Canada, the United States of
America and Tasmania for gentlemen's sons
who can pay from fifty to one hundred and
fifty pounds" The agents induce these boys
to believe they will have a delightful time
with little work and much sport, taking life
moderately. as becomes gentlemens sons. This
was the impression given them, and they came
only to find that they had the hardest kind of
work and total absence of the luxuries which
they had been led TO expect. United States
Deputy Marshal l. NJ. Healy Of this city after
carefully looking up the law has declared the
business to be a violation of the contract labor
law, each infringement of which subjects to a
fine Of not less than $500. 1t is understood
that the marshal will take legal steps against
the local agents who have been receiving fees
for finding places for the boys.

What Touched Her Most.

From the Boston Courier.
They were sitting on the piazza of the hotel
at the beach watching the moon as it slowly
rose out of the slumbering sea. Silence was
around them, naught being heard save occa-
sionally the faint clatter of dishes in the ada
cent restaurant or the musical hum of an aris-
tocratic mosquito that was making as vain
search for a blue-blooded person as Diogenes
did for an honest man. It was the hour for
love, sweet. pure, delicious love. The youth
felt it in his soul he sat there by the side of
the beautiful maiden, whose silken hair almost
touched his shoulder. Suddenly he spoke in
low but thrilling and passionate tones:
ITO the poetic temperament, to the soul that
is capable of feeling the tenderest emotions,
that throbs in unison with the harmony of ma
ture, and is susceptible to the influences Of
the beautiful, there is peculiar fascination in
a scene like this. The balmy air, the rising
moon, the twinkling stars, the contiguity Of
one of the fairest of creations most perfect
work, all unite to awaken in the heart its soft
est, sweetest, tenderest feeling--love. Don't
you think SO, Mehitable?"
Il do-Oh! George, don't them baked clans
smell nicer'

Ramming Ice Floes.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
No stronger vessels than those of the Dundee
whalers are built; they are from 400 to 1000
tons displacement, have powerful, well-secured
engines to resist the shock of ramming or stop
page Of the propeller by ice, and are built with
an eye to the easy and rapid replacement of
rudder, propeller and propeller-shaft If dam
aged, these parts being carried in duplicate
Above all other considerations they possess
strength for ramming as we'll as resistance to
lateral pressure when nipped.
Another very important feature is that the
bow shall have considerable inclination, which
permits the vessel, when ramming very heavy
ice, to lift slightly and slide On it, thus easing
the shock and assisting the cutting action of
the bow with the downward crushing weight of
the ship. In this way it is possible for these
steamers at full speed to ram ice over twenty
feet thick, and receive no immediate incapac-
itating damage.
IL the ice is not too heavy the shear-like rise
and fall Of the bow is repeated several times as
the vessel steams powerfully ahead until her
Roadway is checked. The difficulty then is to
extract the ship from the dock she has cut by
her advance; the foes press on her sides,
cakes of ice and slush fill her wake and there
Is nothing but the ice-hampered propeller with
which to overcome her inertia and draw back
cut OF the nip. Frequently this is insufficient
and the ship may be crushed.

Bonds from Guarantee Companies


From the New York Evening World.
1t is unnecessary nowadays for a young man
to have rich friends to go on his bond when he
secures situation where security of some kind
is required Of him. There are companies in
New York which make business Of going on
employees bonds, receiving in return small
percentage Of the amount of the bond. It 10
said that this form Of doing business has be-
come quite popular with railroad companies
and other corporations Of the sort, at least one
railroad refusing to accept any other bonds
except those furnished by company. These
organizations already guarantee the honesty
OF the employees along over TO- 900 miles of rail-
road. The scheme OF bonding bank cashiers is
also very popular, and one company is now on
the bond OF over $50 cashiers in New York
state. In some places employers demand q
bond of everybody who is behind the counters
even though they don't handle any money or
happen to be unable to steal anything. The
charge is very small, too. Il costs all the way
from one-third Of per cent to three-quarters
Of per cent. It is a significant fact that the
highest rate is that charged bank cashiers.

The Antwerp Disaster.

According to the official report of the Ant
werp explosion one hundred and thirty-five
persons were killed, twenty are missing, one
hundred were seriously injured and two hun
dred were slightly injured. The story that
several British tourists were killed by the ex-
plosion is not true. The governors official re-
port to the minister of the interior says that
nothing has as yet been clearly established
regarding the origin of the explosion. After
referring gratefully to those who have assisted
the sufferers by the disaster, the governor says
that the cartridge factory worked three months
without a license, when it was closed by order
of the city authorities. M. Corvilian, the
proprietor Of the factory, then applied for a
license, which was granted after an inspec ton
of the factory and the imposition Of stringent
regulations for its management.

MIR. George o. Jones, in which he stated that
year ago twelve men, interested in the princi-
pies of the national greenback party, met and

the population in legal tender greenbacks for
value received for the maintenance of suf-
fcient volume of currency to meet the wants

A Posthumous Revenge.

A Spartansburg, NC, special to the Phila-
delphia Press says: The unusual will Of the
Wakefield brothers was probated Tuesday
The Wakefelds were rich bachelors. They
gave the land on which the Reidville high
school stands. Because the town did not name
the school after them they became angry at
the town. One of the brothers died recently
leaving his property to the other. The latter
died ten days ago leaving 5000 acres of land
surrounding the town to his sister. At her
death it goes in trust for n;nety-nine years to
the probate judge of this county. At the ex-
piration of that time it goes to heirs. The
effect Of the will is to kill the town, because it
cannot get land ON which to build for one hun
dred years. Thus they have their revenge.
