"Portfolio Papers," by Philip Gil
bert Hamerton, the well-known En-
glish art critic and editor of the Port
folio, published in London, England,
is, as might be supposed, a republi-
cation in book form of his papers in
the magazine mentioned above.
Roberts Bios. in publishing it have
emphasized the fact that Mr.. Hamer-
toms criticisms in art are above all
those that are generally seen in print.
He has a breadth in his wav of re-
garding art which is best seen in his
writings. His is style which en-
phatically cultivates the taste of the
reader and makes the mind capable
OF approaching all sides. Leaves no
room in fact for any narrow minded
ness or adherence to any one school

we all expected TO go down at any moment. l
do not think the Lambert was seen by anything
before she went down, except one
steamer that passed us at night This
one came along and she went
away aud left us in u sinking condition. on
Monday morning Nov. 20, the masts went out
about 25 feet from the deck, all but the fore
mast, which was left standing. One
sailor at the wheel was killed.
When the masts fell, they made three
holes in the deck. We cut away the rigging,
and let them go by the board. The mizzen mast
got against the rudder and rendered it useless.
The vessels pumps worked by steam, and the
engine was not injured. The water was gaining
in the hold, and we expected to 80 down
any moment On Tuesday there came
a hole in the boiler, and then all hope was gore.
The work Of patching this hole was just finished

morning we burned torches and the steamer
came within a quarter of a mile Of us and sent
us boat. This was God send

TELEGRAPH CONSOLIDATION.
The Two Big Companies Summoned
to Appear in Court.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31-Sheriff Krum-
bhaar received from Harrisburg to-day
writ Of quo tUarrdnto commanding hun to
summons the Western Union and Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph companies before the
Dauphin county court to answer for an al
legged violation of the constitution
and laws of the state. A writ,
which is returnable Jan. 30, was
served this afternoon by the sheriff deputy
on the principal officers of the company
stationed at the main Office at Broad street
and South Pennsylvania square. The paper
filed by the attorney general, which forms
the basis for the suit, sets forth that the
Western Union Company on Oct D, 1887, In
violation of the constitution Of Pennsyl-
vauia, purchased the entire stock, and
thereby controlling interest, Of the Bal
timore and Ohio Telegraph Company,
ahd still holds the same, IS, $50 shares of the
capital stock of the par value OF $3,675OO0,
and peid therefor S5, 700 900; that the Balti-
more and Ohio was competing line III this
state with the Western Union, and that its
stock, line and franchises were by reason
Of the sale forfeited to the state. For the
same reason the attorney general claims
decree of forfeiture and escheat of the line
property, and franchises Of the Western
Union Company in this state. The at
torney general also claims forfeiture of the
line, franchises and property of the Balti-
more and Ohio company, of Pennsylvania.
because of such purchase and consolidation.
The recent triumph of the Garrett interest
in the election of new Baltimore and Ohio
president is believed by many to account
for the suit, but it is said on authority that
the attorney general has takan the step of
his own free viii and would have moved in
the matter over year ago had he been in
DOS session of positive proof.

lows.


GREENvILLE, MISS, Dec. 31.-Two weeks
ago last Saturday, Col. P. Sections resi-
dence, near Arcola, was totally destroyed
by fire, and 1t is now known that the fire
was the work of incendiaries. Seven
of the colored servants, five men
and two women, were arrested
a few days ago and kept under guard
After some time certain property taken
from the house before the fire was recov-
cred. Two of the prisoners then confessed
their guilt. One a woman employed as
cook, had durgged the coffee, and, but for
the fact that two members of the family
were absent at supper time the whole house
hold might have persisted. As it was Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Aldridge were able to
arouse Col. and Mrs. Sexton only with
difficulty when the flames were di covered.
The prisoners also confessed that one of
them stood at each door with an ak or gun
to kill any member of the family that tried
to escape, but tine slowness of the fire
alarmed them and they fled. News received
to-day is to the effect that the seven prison
ers who were under arrest disappeared last
night somewhat mysteriously. There does
not appear to have been any motive for the
incendiary crime beyond that of robbery
and pillage

NEWPORT, r. L., Dec. 31.-The steamer
Bristol is a complete ruin. Only the upper
part of the hull is above water, surmounted
by the half burned wheelhouse The frame
work of the walking-bea is nearly all
burned away, and the beam is kept in place

LOOKING OVER THE YEAR
THE IRON AND STEEL TRADE NOT
HIGHLY PROSPEROUS.

Less Consumption Than During the
Two Preceding Years-A Decline in
Prices Owing to the Reaction in Rail
road Building New York's Stock
Exchange Sales Richmond's New
Era of Prosperity.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31.-The summing
up of the iron and steel trade of the United
states during 1888, as made by the Bulletin
of the American Iron and Steel Association,
shows that this has not been particularly
prosperous year for the iron trade, and in
many respects it fell below 1887 and 1886.
The total production of pig iron during the
year is estimatad at 6,000. 900 tons and of
Bessemer steel rails at $50, 900 tons. The
production of bar iron and plate and sheet
iron did rot vary much from that of 1856.
while the production of structural iron and
steel has been greater during 1883 than in
in 1886 or 1887
THE CONSUMPTION.
The consumption of iron and steel during
this year has fallen below that Of the
two preceding years The total impor a.
tions ere estimated at $4,000 gross.tons. Ii
is believed that the consumption of pig iroa
has fallen of about 100000 tons as conn
pared with 1887, and the consumption of
steel rails about S0O,0 900 tons.
Prices during 1888 are shown to have de-
clined, this being presumably due to GER
tain extent to the reaction in the
building of new railroads, which ct
in in 1887. The prices for bar iron
and nails were very low throughout the
year. The price of old iron rails advar csd
from $2l 70 in January to $24 in December.
Steel rails, at the mills, fell steadily from
$3l 30 in January to S2S in December.
The shipments from the Lake Superior
mines during the year, by lake and rail,
was over 5000, 900 gross tons, an increase of
over 1,2l0,000 tons.
The shipments of Lake Superior orc to
furnaces in Eastern Pennsylvania and New
York aggregated about 275, 900 tons.

HARRISON AND THE BALL
IE IS NOT APT TO ASK THAT IT BE
ABANDONED.

Tho Indianapolis Clergymen Appoint
aCommittee to Consider tho Advisa-
bility of Appealing to the General
he Would Probably Refer Them to
Gen. Britton.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Dec 31.-The
Methodist clergy of Indianapolis to-day
considered the petition of their brethren of
Collmbus, O., which in substance asks
Gen. Harrison to publicly renounce his ap
proval of the Inauguration ball and declare
tiat he will not attend it. In commenting
upon this clerical suggestion DR.. Keene said
tai some action by the clergy of Indian
apolis was now looked for, and that
their opinion regarding the action
Of the Columbus clergy ought to
be definitely and Enthusiastically expressed.
He was earnestly opposed to dancing and
WIS in favor of indorsing the action of the
Columbus clergy. A discussion of the sub
jeot followed, in which several ministers
gave their approval Of DR.. Keene's views.
A COMMITTEE APPOINTED.
A motion was finally carried unanimously
that CO nmittee of three be appointed by
the president of the association to investi-
dering unsel to the President-elect regard
ing the matter of the inaugural ball, and re-
port their determinations at the next regular
meeting Rev. DIR. Jordan. president of
the association, appointed as this committee
Rev. DR.. Keene, chairman and Rev. Drs.
Liohner and Woodruff, Private Sec
retary Halford did not attend
the meeting. He is strongly
opposed to any interference on the part of
the clergy with social customs that have
almost become laws, and there IS but little
doubt that he reflects the views of both
Gen. and Mrs Harrison in this matter.
A STRAW.
When Gen. Britton was here two weeks
ago he asked Gen. and Mrs. Har-
rison if they had any suggestions
or requests to make regarding
inaugural ceremonies, Gen. Harrison made
one revuest. That was that the veterans of
his old regiment might act as his guard of
honor. All the other matters pertaining to
the Inauguration were left under the abso-
Lutte control of Gen. Britton and his commit
tee 1t will therefore be seen thai the
clergy are too late in their crusade,
as the matter has practically passed
out of Gen. Harrison's hands, and there is
scarcely possibility that he would, under
any pressure, interfere with the arrange
ments of the inaugural committee. Should
the preachers finally appeal to him they
will doubtless be politely referred to Gen.
Britson.
HARRIsoN's LOGIC.
Gen. Harrison. like many Others, does not
look upon the inaugural ball as dance, but
rather as part of the ceremony that Gus
tom has identified with the occasion. Those
who attend the ball expecting to see the
next President trip the light fantastic will
be disappointed in this feature. He will be
present, of course, but no one has yet been
able to ascertain that he has any intention
of participating in the dance. He can
dance, however, but of late years his chief
exercise has been walking

CHATTANOOGA A PIONEER.



Chattanooga is the center and pioneer of the
new south, and being one of the first cities to
eject republican congressman, pledged to the
protection Of American labor and American ir-
dustries, she haslaid out path TO industrial STU
premacy that her sister cities would do
well to initiate. Our party has to see
that MIR, Evans and every man
fairly elected shall take his seat II there were
more Bob Tayors in the executive chairs Of
southern states there would be less complaint
about suppressed votes But for the Morrill,
tarit OF 1851 Chattanooga would still have been
in its swaddling clothes.
TIMGDITY OF CAPITAL.
Nothing is so timid and cautious as capital
and to get into your midst it must feel that it is
safe and welcome. Millions are locked up in
government bonds or boarded in bank vaults
that would be gladly released from, cheir prison
bonds and seek the rich fields and rich mineral
deposits of the sunny south land if the condi-
tions were believed to be favorable.
Two recent events will conduce to
this end; first, the heroic action Of
Birmingham's sheriff, and, second the visit Of
Birmingham's delegation to Gen. Harrison. l
trust that Gen. Harrison will meet with no op-
position from tue south, for our people owe
him more than We can discern. Approval Of
President Cleveands policy would have been a
calamity notably in our section.
