WAS 1T A SEISMIC WAVE.
A Marine Phenomenon of the Coast of
Louisiana.

The superintendent Of the coast survey has
received report from F. W. Perkins, of the
coast survey steamer Hitchcock, describing
what was thought to be a seismic wave off the
gulf coast Of Louisiana. He states that during
the 10th and 18th the wind blew very fresh
from the southeast, making rough sea even
at the anchorage in feet of water mile off
shore in the blight miles east of Tigre point.
The morning of the 18th opened with rain and
a northeast wind. The rain was of short dura-
ton, but the sky was overcast all day. At /
p. m. he was on deck and at that time the sea
had gone down under the influence of the fresh
northeast wind which had also driven the water
of the shore, leaving a wide border of
mud exposed outside of the shell beach.
At about 4:30 a troubled appearance of the
water inshore attracted the attention of those
on deck. and upon looking to the southwark
and westward large black wave was seen ap-
preaching, rolling in, as the sailing -master de-
scribed it. like down east fog" minute
or two later. meeting with a shoal which lies
in that direction, it broke into white angry
masses. From half to three-quarters Of
q mile northwest of the vessel. and pretty
close to shore and moving eastward, there
was a patch of angry water about hun
dred yards in extent, in which the waves, some
three or four feet high, were crested with foam
and sending broken water several feet into
the air. At 442 it had reached point
some two miles east by north of
the place where he first observed it.
The wind at the time was light or moderate
from the northeast with moderately smooth
sea. and there was no appearance of any extra
ordinary atmospheric disturbance about the
broken water, the spray being thrownup and
falling when a sea meets with an obstruction
in calm weather. At about 10 D. m the vessel
and boats swung round and tailed to the east
northeast and then swung back again. And
the sailing master reported that at one hour,
forty-eight minutes on the morning of the 18th
the vessel commenced pitching very noticeably,
although the sea was apparently quite smooth.
and that at the same time the vessel swung
around failing to the wind and shortly after
ward swung back

A Pension Fraud in Baltimore.

William Louis Schley, claim and pension
agent, of Baltimore, has been placed under
$1,000 bail to answer in the United States court
the charge of aiding in the false making. forg-
ing and counterfeiting of voucher for the
purpose of obtaining money from the United
States. The case is that of Mrs. Laura
Weaver, who died in December, 1887. She was
entitled to pension. After her death her son,
August Weaver, and Mrs. Catherine Miller went
to Schleys Office to try and secure the dead
woman's pension. Mrs. Miller personated Mrs.
Weaver in the voucher, and the result was a
check from the government last January for
1854 The matter leaked out and August
Weaver and Mrs. Miller were arrested. Now
they accuse Col. Schley of having Matched the
fraud

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Engine and Mail Car Of the Chicago Elk.
press on the Track Near Rockville.
} Of THE EVENING STAR.

Correspondents Of THE EVENING STAR.
ROCKVILLE, May 20, 1889.
The Chicago express train running west and
due here at $40 pm. to-day, met with an acct
dent at the east end Of the double track about
half mile east from the depot, this afternoon.
When the engine, tender and mail car had
passed the switch and before the passenger
cars had reached that point the engine jumped
the track and ran on the ties to the south track,
and was about to plunge down the steep en-
bankment at that point The engineer seeing
the danger, put on a full head of steam, which
had the effect of turning the engine between
the two tracks, when it caught under the cross
ties and was buried about feet in the earth at
the same time careening to the south track.
The mail car was also derailed and turned
partly over, while the passenger coaches re-
NAMED on the track and were uniniured. As
soon as the news of the accident reached town
hundreds of people repaired to the scene and
crowds were In attendance until long after
dark. Wrecking trains on different portions OF
the road were at once notified and were on
hand in few hours to render assistance. A
portion of the main track was moved SO that
trains could pass around the wreck about 9
O'Clock, and in the mean time the hundreds OF
passengers going each way were transferred
from the different trains. This is considered a
very dangerous point on the road, as the en-
bankment is narrow and fully twenty feet
high. The cause of the accident is not def
nitely known, but is attributed to the spreading
of the track, caused by the recent heavy rains
and the very short curve which a train has to
pass over in reaching the new track. This train
is one of the fastest ON the road and was filled
with passengers, but few of whom knew that
anything had happened until it was all over.
Many turned pale and became very nervous
when they realized what narrow escape they
had made. So far as learned no one was
injured. Washington passengers who arrived on
the first two trains had merry walking match
to the depot, and made the half-mile stretch in
good humor. During the evening many officials
of the road were present doing all in their
power to prevent the delay of passengers,
which was for very short time. s. A. NJ.
