COLUMBUS BIRTHPLACE.

| An Honor Claimed by Several italian
| Cities and n Corsican Town.
Four or five great cities of the Union
are now struggling for the honor Of
the quadri-centennial exhibition in
1892, which is to celebrate the discov-
cry of America by Christopher Column
bus. 1t is. therefore, very appropri-
ate time for furnishing up our knowI-
edge of this great navigator.
We know when he was born and
died, the achievements of his life and
the discoveries he made, but, strange
to say, we do not know to certainty
where he was born or buried. The
Cubans claim that his bones lie in Ha-
wanna, and the Dominicans are posi-
tive that the remains are in the city of
Santo Domingo.
But this is trihing trouble compared
with the war being waged over the
birthplace Of Columbus.
Our school books assure us that he
was born in Genoa, but this statement
is based on insufficient testimony. No
eOuOhOAO1OcIlOu UOCuIHOuG 10 III 6AlSGGuCG
proving that Christopher Columbus
was born in Genoa.
The three biographers, his contem-
poraries, Gallo, Guistiniani and Fog
lietta, merely designate him as ''Ge-
noese."
Now, it happens that at the time OF
the birth of Columbus the island Of
Corsica belonged to Genoa, and the
Genoa Senate had granted to the town
of Calvi in Corsica, the special priv.
lege then called city's right; so that
the Calvi people were called ''Genoese
citizens" The municipality used on
the legal and official paper the very
best seal of Genoa, with the motto.
"Sigillun1 conenaWnttdtis Caleb. :"
So, then, if Columbus was born in
Calvi, he would have been a Genoese,
just the same as if he had been born in
Genoa. That is one point lin Calvi's
favor, and the city has many local ira
ditions to support its claim. ..Altogeth-
er, they believe in it so fully that on
July 80, 1886, they placed a memorial
plaque upon house of Colombo street,
formerly Del Flo street (Threadneedle
father was a weav-
cry, where tradition says the great
navigator came into the world.
Moreover, there was at Calvi q fam
lily by the name of Colombo, whose
traces can be followed in the parish
registers from the sixteenth to the
eighteenth centuries. 1t is worth
noticing. also. that, according to the
narrative made by Don Fernando of
the discovery of America, there were
on board the fotilla of Columbus a
pack of Corsican hounds, and also a
pretty good number of Corsican
natives, probably from Calvi.
The above facts, recently published
in Europe, do not settle the disputed
question relative to the birthplace of
Columbus, but they indicate that a
strong tradition is in existence, &C
cording to which his birthplace would
be the seaport of Calvi, in Corsica.
Of course it makes no practical diff
ference to us where Columbus was
born or where he was buried, and it is
quite likely that the general conviction
that he was born in Genoa will remain
We are only interested
in his achievements as to making

BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.vThe steamship
Earnmoor, Capt. r. J. Gray, which
sailed from here for Rio Janiero Aug.
20, with cargo IF wheat, foundered at
sea in gale Sept. 8, and 1t is feared
that nineteen of her crew were lost. A
small boat belonging to the Earnmoor,
with seven men in it, survived the gale.
The men made their way to Nassau. n.

frOm Baltimore Aug. 29, and sailed next
day. She left Hampton Roads and put
to sea. The storm, which prevailed
early in September, struck her when
she was off the West Indies. She labOred

began to fill. The men gave up hope,
and on the 5th of September de-
termined to abandon the ship.
Two boats were launched. In one
of them were the first officer, MIR.

five seamen. In the long boat were

five of the crew. A later cable says
that the five sailors are dying. Capt.
Gray and the others in the long boat
may have been picked up by another
vessel. Among the missing are Second

the New Jersey coast in the middle of
September. So far as learned the crew
are all Englishmen. The Farrmore
