ESPECIAL TELEGRAA TO THE D1sPATcH.I
NEW YORK, November 6.-The new
steamship Atalants, queen of the fruiters,
brought part of the crews of two tempest
tossed vessels into port yesterday. Among
them are E. S. Eldridge, plucky Cape
Cod skipper, and his heroic young bride,
Susan. Captain Eldridge left Savannah,
October II, in command of the lum-
ber-laden, three-masted schooner spotless.
She was a stanch craft. and had battled
successfully with all sorts of bad weather
for four years, under her young master.
But she could not stand the storm that
struck her Just north of Hatteras on the
afternoon of October %. The Spotless was
hugging the coast when the awful blast,
which was preceded by a heavy
rain, came rattling out of the
southeast Captain Eldridge had main
sail and spanker reefed, and headed OF
shore, fearing the mighty blow would drive
him into the breakers. The wind shifted to
northeast and howled like steam calliope.
Brave little Mrs. Eldridge came on deck
and enjoyed the riot OF the wind and waves
until they began breaking over the vessel.
The vessel was laboring heavy and leaking
badly. By dawn there were six feet of
water in her hold. The lifeboats were torn
from their davits and broken to bits -Four
sailormen lashed themselves to the pumps.
They pumped for "a hours. Their hands

found that her skirts interfered
with her movements, and she put on a suit
of her husbands clothes. The vessel was
settling fast, despite the brave efforts of the
bumpers. By midnight she was nearly
flush with the seas, which swept over her so
frequently that all hands were forced to
seek shelter in the cabin. The bumpers
were so much used up that they could not
stand.
All things eatable except some canned
goods and a few potatoes were spoiled bv

few dry matches and lit an oil stove The
vessel was tossed about so that she was un-
able to keep on her feet, so she lashed her.
self to a sofa and cooked the potatoes in the
oil stove, while lying down. At daybreak
it became apparent that the only hope
would be in the main rigging, which was
still secure. Susan helped the sailors to
take food aloft and fasten it there.

Captain Eldridge and his wife hugged each
other with much enthusiasm when the Alta
lants headed their way. Of course Mrs.
was taken off first.

hearing was short and sweet, and resulted in
Van Hoesen's being bound over for trial at

was promptly furnished, but the names of
his bondsmen are unknown.
Van Hoesen is popular man, and was

Pile Driving by Machinery.

1t would appear that, in the matter
OF pile.driving by machinery, the ap.
paratus employed in England at the
present timo is n decided improvcmc nt
on the devise which has so long been in
use In this country for that purposes.
Raising n hammer, and having its
weight drive tho pile into the earth as
the hammer falls, Notwithstanding its
accomplishment OF the work, it involves
an amount Of timo out OF all pro-.
portion TO what should be required for
such a result. Inthc improved device,
the driver is made in tho form of a
heavy steam cylinder, the lowest end
of which forms n hammer head, acts
upon the pile; the piston rod is extend.
I'd sufficiently to form an eye, n rope
being attached to this, and by means Of
which the whole device may be raised
and lowered by u hosting engine in the
customary manner In driving the pile
steam is admitted to tho cylinder,
which is raised to ahoight only limit.
ed by its length, and tho simple
operation of opening a large oxhaus,
valve causes the cylinder to fall upon
tho pile and drive it 6, certain distance.
The effective blows thus struck can BE-

DEATH TO GRASSHOPpERS.
An Apparatus Which Destroys the Insects
by the Million.

By the Million.
Consul Mason, of Marseilles, writes
that the injury to the crops OF Algeria
by the grasshoppers last summer was
so serious that the Government has
provided the means for their dcstruc-
ton which has been so successfully
used by the English farmers in Cyprus.
He says:
1.-THE apparatus consists Of long
pieces of cheap cotton cleth, q yard in
width, edged on n side with a strip
of oil-cloth six inches wide, and each
provided with strings by which it can
be fastened to wooden stakes. When
an invasion of the locusts is announced
trenches are dug at right angles with
the direction of their approach. The
stakes are then driven in lines on the
side of the trench from which the ap-
proach is expected and the cloths
hung vertically, forming a curtain
~forty-two to forty-four inches high,
fitting closely to the ground, and with
the oil-cloth edge uppermost. Be-
tween these curtains, at intervals of
two hundred Dr. three hundred yards,
open spaces are left two yards in width.
"The march of the insects is in solid
phalanx, devouring every thing cat
able as they go. When they reach
the curtain the g%rasshoppers climb
readily to the point where they en-
counter the oil-cloth. On this they
slip and fall. and after several futile
attempts they attempt to clear the OBJ
struction at n jump. Such rs succeed
fall into the trench on the further
side, and finding the ground barren OF
food usually make no attempt to go
further. The great majority fail to
Jump over the curtain and seek to cir
cumvent it. They thus pour by
myriads through the openings. AT
these points the ditch is made deep
and wide and the further slope GOV.
rred with sheets OF smooth zinc or tin
upon which they are unable to climb.
They are thus caught in masses,
beaten to death with large wooden
paddles, and their bodies used foi
feeding hogs or for manure. In some
cases the hogs are turned into the
trenches to kill their own prey, but in
general the work is done by natives
shod with largo wooden sabots, with
which thcy trample the insects Il

AN FENCE.
How One Recently Put Up In New Mexico
Did Its Work.

Last week the finishing work was
done on the new thirty-m'le electric
fence just putup by the United States
Electric Fence Company, under con-
tract with the Tx ranch management.
The engine was turned loose and the
current was turned on for the entire
line. and since then and from this on
she huns in beautiful shape - she
stands II system Of practical fencing
neither surpassed % cqualed by any
other. 1t extends from u point about
two miles out to II point away out in
Carson County, beyond the Southern
Kansas road, and to say that the
management which grasped at once its
utility and had it built-to say that
this management and the people
who have insp cited it are pleased
would be a mild expression. 1t is
simply one of the wonders of science,
and is a monument to its inventor.
On Saturday u party had a demonstra-
ton Of its effectiveness. On one side
of the fence stood some dozen or fifteen
steers, on the other stood n alone.
lie undertook to break through and go
over to the majority. He had no idea
he was tackling a buzz saw when he
struck that smooth wire fence. Well,
sir, he jumped like he was hit at once
by forty million hornets, and with his
tail coilcd over his back he wheeled
and only struck the ground in high
places. Then the fifteen made a dash
to join and follow him. One by one
they rubbed that electric fence, and as
fast as they did they jumped, bawlcd,
kicked, wheeled and sailed off as
though they had urgent business at
north pole, and only had n few hours
in which to make it. That electric
| fence is II stunncr--it is the eighth and
greatest wonder OF the world. Not
one of these cattle was hurt, but not
one of them will go neal that fence

AN ENGLISH INTERVIEW.


A Process ID ffrring From That Employed
by American Reporters.
General Pryor tells an amusing
story. When he was in England de-
Tending the Irish patriots, he was
quite DESTROYS of spreading his views
before the English public. 1t was
much harder to get at an English
editor than at an American, but finally
communications were established, and,
one evening there was u subducd
knock at the door Of his oom in the
hotel. Come in," said General
Pryor. The door opened about six
inches, and through the aperture
sided Il dilapidated specimen of hui

dilapidatcd specimen put his dilapi-
