CAUGHT IN A TEMPEST.
A New 0csa. Racer Kxpsrissess severe
Storm.

New Ocean Rncer Experiences severe
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE steamship
Augusta Victoria. from Hamburg, arrived
to-day and reports an exceedingly violent
tempest last Saturday and Sunday. The
officers Of the steamship made their report
to-day to the agents of the line, c. B. Rich
ards & Co. They stated that the storm was
the worst that they had ever experienced.
The furious waves were lashed into foam by
the violent gales. and, mountains high,
swept over the decks of the steamer.
The portrait and turtle deck were smashed
into fragments. The ladder leading down
the companion way was also twisted and
smashed. A big wave on Sunday afternoon
struck the bridge where the Captain was
standing. It broke the telegraph instru-
ment that connected with the engineers
apartments. The compass was knocked out
of gear by the same big wave, but was soon
set right again. One wave rolled over the
ocean racer, caught one of the boatsvains
and dashed him against the stanchions. He
was severely injured, and is now confined
in the hospital aboard ship. Another great
wave came over the side and nearly killed
the steerage steward. The Augusta Vic
toria is the new steamer Of the Hamburg
Line. Her officers state that she stood the
storm nobly. The damage she sustained
can be easily repaired.

MRLLoR g. HOENE's GREAT EXHIBIT.
Pianos and Organs.


When you speak of the splendid instru-
ments carried by this firm, everybody knows
what you are talking about, for the thou
sands Of pianos and organs which have
been placed by Mellor & Hoene in homes,
churches and lodges have given such un-
qualified satisfaction, that it is an open
secret that they are the people to deal with
if you want the very best the market affords.
Take for instance the Hardman pianos that
have walked right into public favor; they
are wonderful instruments, possessing phe-
nomenal durability, great power and full
ness of tone, and from their peculiar con-
struction perfect action that is perforce
lasting. This last is effected through having
the metal key frame support" the KEYS
and action are clamped to this iron frame,
and as climate does not affect it, it always
remains level, and the "key sticking" so
prevalent with the warped wooden supports,
is avoided. Another great advantage in
the Hardman pianos is the patent 'harp
stop attachment" to be used at will;
this reduces the striking distance or blow of
the hammer, so that the volume of tone is
cut off, and any amount of exercises may be
practiced without annoyance to neighbors,
without putting the instrument out of tune,
and with little or no wear upon the "pelts"
Then there are the Klakauer Bros pi-
amos, noted for their beautiful singing tone,
elegant cases, great durability, and exquisite
touch; surely recommendations to make any
piano popular.
Organ firms are represented by samples of
Palace, Chicago Cottage and Chase. The
self-playing Eolian organ has fine octave
keyboard, the usual stop action, and the au-
tomato or selfplaying action. By a care
full and judicious arrangement of the per-
forated papers, which are the equivalents of
varied repertoire of classical or popular
music may be PLAYED at will. ALI the In
struments mentioned in this article and
others are carried in large stock at No. "

Lynch's, 43S and 40 Market street.

getting in their fall and winter lines of
goods, but it is safe to say that better as
sortment than that of n. j. Lynch's, 4S8

That this is recognized by buyers is attested
by the rapidly increasing patronage of the
establishment. The stock comprises all the
fashionable and leading novelties in En-
broidered Robes and fall and winter Dress
Goods. The Underwear Department is dis
tinguishable for the completeness of the

Camel's Hair, Merino, Scotch Wool and all
kinds of Flannels. For Suitings the line is
exceptionable, and contains Henriettas,

EVERETT PIANO CLUB,

Or Co-Operative System of Selling Pianos,
Is the most successful and satisfactory plan
ever tried. We are delivering pianos as fast
as our wagons can haul them. Our mem
bers get the lowest possible price, because
there are enough members to contract for
$50 pianos, and thus save S75 in the price of
each piano; $50 members, each paying 81
per week, will pay for one piano in cash
each week, and we deliver one piano per
week on these payments. Members who
pay all cash, or who pay $25 cash and $40
monthly can take their pianos at once, and
still get the discount obtained by the club
contract The piano selected by the club
has no superior. Having the whole market
to choose from on SO large contract, we
chose the Everett because it gives full value,
dollar for dollar. We pay nothing for rep
utations of men who died years ago. The
Everett is piano of to-day, with all the
latest Improvements. The tone is rich,
powerful and musical, and they are made to
wear. Each piano is warranted for seven
years. Now don't wait too long. Our club
is not yet full, but we are delivering pianos,
and it is filling up rapidly. Send for cir
cular or call and see the pianos at once.

COST OF RUNNING A STABLE.
"How many animals are there altogether
in your stables, here and elsewhere, Mr..
DwYer?"
1--WE have 6S in all, of which 49 are 2
years old and upward. They are all very
highbred and expensive horses. Have YOU
any notion what 1t costs to run a stable?"
he asked, suddenly. "We have, when all
are here, not less than $4,000 or $4,000
worth of stock, ana it takes almost as much
to keep the thing going and to meet all ex-
penses. It's bigger risk than one would
take in Wall street, for expenses go on Just
the same, whether you win or lose. Now,
this has been queer season, and Western
men have gone home disguised. The year
ling business is the greatest lottery of all.

work is naturally concentrated on the two
great arcades, which have suffered greatly
from faulty foundations aggravated by the
injudicious use of iron in the masonry.
Owing to this failure Of foundations, and
the corrosion of iron, the exquisite capitals
have had bad time. These "Stones of
Venice" have been split and broken in a
most deplorable manner. The steps taken
to restore them, however, and to preserve
them for the delight of future generations
of art lovers have been most thorough. The
whole of the mason work has been
effectively and permanently strengthened,
and an attempt will be made to initiate in
color the old work. It is said that this is
being done so closely as to deceive the most
critical eye.

supineness of the authorities, remain un-

too, says Mr.. Marvin, similar state OF
things prevails. -.=
The theory of the process Of the forma-
ton OF petroleum is most interesting one.
1t is generally admitted that the crust OF
the earth is very thin in comparison with
the diameter of the latter. and that this
crust incloses soft or fluid substances, among
which the carbides of iron and other metals
find a place. When, in consequence of
cooling, or some other cause, fssure takes
place through which a mountain range is
protruded the crust of the earth is bent, and
at the foot of the hill assures are formed or,
at any rate, the continuity of the rocky
layers is disturbed, and they are rendered
more or less porous, so that surface waters
are able to make their way into the bowels
OF the earth, and to reach occasionally the
heated deposits of metallic carbides, which
may exist either in a separated condition or
blended with other matter. Under such
circumstances it is easy to see what must
take place. Iron, or whatever other metal
may be present, forms an oxide with
the oxygen of the water; hydrogen is
either set free or combined with the carbon
which was associated with the metal, and
becomes a volatile substance-that is,
naphtha. The water which had penetrated
down to the incandescent mass was changed
into steam, a portion of which found its
way through the porous substances with
which the assures were filled, and carried
with it the vapors of the newly-tormed
hydrocarbons, and this mixture of vapors
was condensed wholly or in part as it
reached the cooler strata. The chemical
composition of the hydrocarbons produced
will depend upon the conditions of pressure
and temperature under which they are
formed. 1t is obvious that these may vary
between very wide limits, hence it is that
mineral oils, mineral pitch, ozokerite, and
similar products differ so greatly from each
other in their relative proportions of hydro
gen and carbon. Artificial petroleum has
been frequently prepared by a process anal
ogous to that just described.

Manufacture Of Slate Penclls.

One of the most peculiar branches Of in
dustry in this country is the manufacture Of
slate pencils. There is only one slate pencil
factory in the United States. 1t employs 25
hands, who turn out 10000 slate pencils
every day. The method of manufacture is
a good deal in advance of the primitive
methods employed some years back. Not
long since the blocks of soft slate from
which pencils are cut were sawed in lengths
and distributed among the neighborlng Ia
borers' families to be whitfield down to PEN
Gil shape. Those working at them could
earn about 30 cents per thousand. Now the
blocks are put into a machine and cut into
square lengths by revolving knives, and the
lengths are afterward rounded and polished
by emery belts. One man can cut and finish
about 8, 900 pencils per day.
