THE INrELLIaENCER is the first paper to
adopt the suggestion Of Chief Signal Oiiicer
Greedy that the weather reports issued
daily from Washington should be styled
"weather forecasts and not "indications,"
ms heretofore. This is a small matter, but
we aim to be right, even In triiles. The
weather bureau receives the Indications"
and from them forms tho forecasts
which are published throughout the coun-
try. They are not the hints given by
nature, but guesscs based upon those hints.

LONG DAYS OF HORROR and HUNGER.
The Story of the Survivors of the
Steamer Earnmoor.
Eleven Men In Small Boat with
Death for a Co mrade.
Seven Of Them Rescued at Last
Made Helpless by PrivatatIon.

PHILADELPHIA, October 2i.-Seven sur
vivors of the ill-fated steamer Earnmoor of
the Earn line, which foundered at sea Sep
tember 9TH in cyclone 800 miles off Turks
Island while bound from Baltimore to Rio
Janeiro. arrived in this city today. The
Earnmoor struck terrific gale September
4th AT IL 80 am, the following day the vas-
sci gave lurch and foundered. AS the
steamer sank, the port life boat fioated away
from the ship. The second officer. the. sec
ond and third engineers, four. sailors, three
fremen and the cook clung to the boat and
scrambled in. An unsuccessful effort was
made to save the rest of the crew, II men.
The cries of the drowning men as they were
dashed about by the mountainous waves
were heard by the men in the boat, but they
doned to their fate. Fortunately the boat
drifted into the gulf stream. The air was
warm, however, and this increased the mems

caught and Immediately cut up into por-
tion for each man and devoured. We cap
the flesh. The first man to die was seaman
named VIM. Robinson of Baltimore. The sec
ond was the third engineer, Thomas Hunt of
Philadelphia. One night a German fireman
named Plagge, suddenly became insane and
jumped overheard. We were too weak to
save him. Being without compass we
steered by the sun by day and the stars by
night. Eleven vessels passed us. A British
bark, we are certain, saw us and deliberate

AN EASY MARKET.
Secretary Window Denies Some Re-
ports From Wall Street.

NEW YORK, October 21.-A Washington
special to the Times says that Secretary
Window does not encourage the attempt ap-
parently being made in New York to create
the impression that there is stringency in
the money market. His attention was d.
rected yesterday Sunday to newspaper ar
ticles in regard to the operations Of one
prominent house on the street." and he was
asked whether he feared a stringency or
knew anything of a corner in the bond mar
ket arranged to force the Treasury to raise
prices for bonds. 81 can see no reason for a
stringent money market" replied the secre-
tary. "As far as can learn there is no abb
normal demand for money, nothing more
than what there usually Is at this time of
the year. The interior has made the GUS
tomary demand on New York, but crops
have been pretty well moved, and money ap-
pears to be reasonably plentiful
Can you detect any signs OF bond cor
ner? Have you any information as to
whether the majority of them are in the
hands of a few peopie,or are they pretty well
scattered?
II have heard nothing to lead me to be-
lleve that there Is a syndicate attempting to
get control of the bonds. believe that the
registered bonds are pretty well scattered.
There are some 40 1000 holders of this class.
The unregistered bonds of course we cannot
tell any thing about. Some of the former
bonds may have been transferred of late by
their original holders and the treasury de-
partment would not necessarily know any
thing about that, but have not heard that
such transfers have been made or that bords
are being absorbed by few people,"

REVISING THE RITUAL.
A Part Of the Proceedings of the
Recent Masonic ConcIave.

WASHINGTON, October 21.-One of the
most important acts of the Grand Encamp-
ment of Knights Templar in the United
States held last week in Washington, and
one which is of more general interest and
Importance than any other to the members
of the order, was that concerning the ritual.
The ritual as revised and adopted at st.
Louis in 1886. has never been popular with a
large majority, and it was anticipated that
some decisive legislation concerning it would
be taken at this last triennial to make it
more acceptable.
On the second day of the conclave, We'd
nesday, the subject was referred to COM
mittee consisting of one of the members of
the Grand Encampment from eaol State ju-
risdiction, the representatives from each
State jurisdiction selecting their member.
r. <. Sir Edwin L. Freeman, Grand Com
mander of MASSACHUSETTS and Rhode Island,
was member of this committee. r. E. Sir
Joseph A. Locke, Grand Commander of
Maine, was elected chairman, and r. E. G.
O. Connor of Tennessee was elected Secreta-
ry of the committee.
The committee assiduously attended to the
On Friday they presented report, of which
the following is the substance, which was
that 0 the "''r ritual be '1Skvid' divided in. in.
to two parts, to be known as the es-
sentials and ceremonials. The particular
parts of the ritual to be covered under the
head of essentials and the forms for the
same were reported in full to the Grand En-
campment and they were adopted. Every
thing in the present standard ritual not COW
cred by these essen tials is to be regarded
as ceremonial and relegated to the several
State Grand Communicates with power to
arrange said ceremonials to the liking of
each until the next Triennial Conclave.
The Ritual Committee herein mentioned
was continued with the request that each
ritual of its ceremOnials within one year,
and communicate and forward the same to
the Grand Recorder, Sir William B. Isaacs
of Richmond, Va, who shall Immediately
place the same in the hands of the Chairman

TINKERINc the PRAYER BOOK.
Some of the Changes Made by the
Convention Yesterday

NEW YORK, October 2l.-The Episcopal
convention today took up the order of
the day, Qiturgical revision). The first ques-
tion upon concurrence with the bishops
upon the amendment of the thanksgiving for
the administration of baptismal services for
adults was carried atfirmatively. The three
succeeding amendments of similar tenor
were adopted. An interesting amendment
providing for the insertion In the baptiSmal
office of the bracketed clause there let the
child distinctly pronounce his or her name"
was lost. The amendment providing for the
insertion of the lesson in the communion
service was carried.
Dr. Hart moved that consideration of the
proposed book offices be postponed until the
next general convention. This went over
without action and the usual recess was
taken.
At the afternoon session of the House of
Deputies DR.. Hart resumed the presentation
of numerous additions and emendati0nS to
the Book of Common Prayer. He wished to
have several versicles inserted in the order
of confirmation. The amendment was re-
jected.
Father Hall proposed several amendments
in the collect, beginning: Into Thy hands
o Merciful Saviour" All his amendments
were tabled by close vote. A motion that
in the several rubrics for the sick, the word
"priest" be substituted for minister" was
voted down. A large number Of alterations
followed. Hereafter the selections of psalms
for holy days which Immediately precede
the psalter will be omitted and all the
numbers of the psalms be presented in
common numerals. Throughout the new
psalter the musical colon will appear as in
the English books.

THE PENSION OFFICE.
Report of the Board Which InvestI-
gated Its Affairs.

WASHINGTON, October 21.-The report of
the board which investigated the pension
office a. Secretary Mobiles order has today
been made public. Its examination covered
the months of December, 1888. and January
to July inclusive. 1889. The board found
that 1890 cases had been rerated in that Pc
riod, showing steady increase each month,
the result of which if continued will be to
readjudicate and Ierete very large per cen
tage of the cases in the admitted files The
report continues: "The theory or rule
dication of cases for rerating is that of man
ifest injustice, in the original or former rat
ing. But an inspection of the accompany
ing exhibits shows that the action in large
majority of the cases was the result of a
mere difference of opinion from that which
governed the original or former adjudica-
tien."
The report gives many illustrations to
show this and also quotes the decisions of
former secretaries, laying down rules which
should govern them. A number of cases
cited in the report are shown to have been
endorsed either by the commissioner or his
"The forty-eight case" the report says,
"seems to have been understood not only t(
be an order for final action in 48 hours, but
an order for final favorable action. When
the practice of issuing these orders origi
mated the board is unable to state, but it had
existence covering the entire period of in
vestigation. Tho practice of taking up cases
out of the regular order for action or adju
dication, and that is of making them specia
is one which in our judgment should be in
dulged in very sparingly."

How an Auburn Young Man Spoiled

AUBURN. october 2l.-A marriage license
was issued in Auburn last week to a young
couple who for sometime like a year past
have been keeping company" When the
mother of the young lady concerned heard
that her daughters intentions of marriage
had been published she came down to the
city clerks office and forbade the issuing of
any certificate. But she came too late, the
certificate was already issued, and if it had
not been there was no help for the situation,
for the parties were old enough to marry if
mamma wasn't willing. But it was
and another thing to eiude the vigilance Of
an angry watchful mother and two brothers.
The date of the marriage had been set for
Saturday night, but that appointment was
cancelled. Sunday the young lady received
word from her lover from a small boy on the
sly, and arrangements were made for flight.
Sunday evening, about s O'Clock, the young
were wild over her disappearance. The po-
lice were notified, and told that it was feared
that the young lady had committed sui
eide. All night long the whole Auburn
and part of the Lewiston police force, ac-
c0mpanied by posse of relatives. friends
and neiehbors, sought for traces of the lost
ones. But they found nothing until about
1O O'Clock this morning, the father of the in
tended bridegroom came into town and re-
ported that the runaways were at his house.
But they hadn't got married. In the hurry
neglected to don bis best coat and the mar
riage license snugly reposed in the breast
pocket of the coat. Next time the certificate
won't be left behind.

SANE AMONG THE INSANE.
Lieutenant Cross Said To Be the
Victim of Conspiracy.

New YORK. October 21.-A writ of habeas
corpus was granted today in the Supreme
Court, directing the superintendent of the
Butler Insane Asylum at Providence, R. l.,
to produce the body Of Second Lieutenant
Amos Cross, U. S. A, in court October 25th.
1t is alleged by counsel for the petitioner
that Lieutenant Cross is and always was
sane. Bis removal from this city and con-
finement in another State, it is alleged, is the
illegal result of conspiracy, its purpose being
to enable the Lieutenant's brother, Elisha
w. Cross of Wakefield, r. l., to obtain con-
troll Of the Lieutenants property, valued at
over 100000. Elisha Cross is now said to
be wasting the property. Today's proceed
ings were only preliminary, and the writ is
not binding on person outside of this State.
In that case further proceedings will be had.
Lieutenant Cross was pronounced insane by
the commissioners of lunacy of this county
in August. 1885. He owns a large amount of
real estate at Ochre Point, near Newport,
