LIVELY TIMES ON BOARD.
Tho Gale Mixed Up u Queer Lot OF
Passengers From West Africa.

BosToY, Jan 0.-The bark Margaret.
Captain Sargent, arrived here on Mon
day from the west coast of Africa in "A
badly battered condition. She was 50
long overdue that she had been given up
as lost. Captain Sargent says that be-
tween the gales and the nature of his
cargo he had an experience he does not
wish again to meet. Besides a regular
cargo there were twelve snakes, iOOcock-
atoes ana parrots, an ourang. outang,
two small monkeys, two crocodIles
and a gorilla, which he was
bringing from Durham, Africa, to
museum here, There were
some stowaways on the bark, too.
There were also rats, and they caused
the death OF all but four OF the cockatoos
and parrots by eating up all the corn
that had been provided for the feathered
passengers Then. during gale, the
snakes and crocodiles broke out OF thor
boxes in the hold and invaded the fore
castle so that for tive days the men
could not venture into their quarters,
but had TO live In the cabin. These
reptiles, along with the rats, kept up u
continual warfare until the surviving
crocodile killed the last snake, and COM
pleted the chain of vengeance by being
itself killed dIring fierce southwest
storm by some oi the cargo shifting and
falling ON IL.
During the scrimmage among the rep
tiles the monkeys took to the rigging
ana stuck there, despite all efforts to dis
lodge them, and the men could not ven
ture about the cross-trees, the result
being the gales carried away all the
barks, hampers and sPars. They finally
all fshed away except four, which
were captured.
The worst passenger was fiYe-foot
gorilla, which was Imprisoned in u stout
wooden box lashed near the galley. The
top of this tho animal forced oil, but
thouph held by chain he had consid-
cradle play, and getting possession OF an
iron bar he swept the deck, 50 that the
only way getting to the forceastle was by
the shrouds. He wound up by partially
scalping the negro cook, seizing him by
the wool one day, and only letting go
after he had been nearly killed with an
axe. All the men were more or less
hurt by the beast. and he led them
life of terror. The museum collection Is
now reduced to the gorilla, three
monkeys and five parrots.

A BRIDGE or LIGHT.
The strange Celestial Arch Under

HEAHSE, Tex, Jan. 10.--A curious

near here last night by the north-bouiid
passenger train on the Houston Il Texas

arch OF Phosphoric or electrical char

occurrence at sea, but arc almost un.
heard of on land. The luminous mist
was first observed by the engineer when
It was still several hundred yards ahead
of the train, and, thinking IL a prairie
fire, ho slowed up, thus nrousing the
passengers, who, with the crew, crowded
to the windows and To the platforms 10

As the arch was more closely ap-

sky as though painted there by the
sweep OF brush dipi,ad In white hro.
The stars could be seen shining close
against the rim of It, and oil Iaronnd and

could bo guessed at, was half mile In
diameter, though II seemed gradually
widening and was in form the half Of a

Declares That Hammond
was AIDED TO Escape.

LONDON, March 5.--Labouchere in an
interview ON the subject ofthe Cleveland
street scandal, said that Ham mond was
ass.sied to escape. The books ut Cooks
tourist Office showed that Sexton, solici-
tor for Lord Arthur Somerset bought
tickets to America for Ham
mond and the boy who accompanied
tho lntter In his flight There are also
number of letters which prove that
Hammond was assisted To leave the
country, and Labouchere said that 1t
was untrue that Hammond was para.
lyked. On the contrary, he was always
In good health, and was we'll aware OF
everything going ON in the Cleveland
street house. Hammond's wife and sis
ter, who kept house for him, also knew
the character oftho place.
Labouchere had not heard Of Bever.
idge's house In Easton road, and was
scoptical as to its existence. lie sug-
gested that cross examination OF Ham
mond and the boy who He'd with him 10

COINAGE OF SILVER.
Argument Before the House
Committee.
WALKER, OF MASSACHUSETTS.
His Views of the Relative Merits
of the Senate Bill and
Windom's.

WASHINGTON, March 5.--Before the
house committee on coinage to-day Mr.
Walker, OF Massachusetts, said: ~ am
satisfied that it is the desire of large
majority OF the people Of the United
States that further effort be made to
bring the price of silver and gold to-
gether at the ratio of 1873. while person.
ally am willing to try further expert
ment by passing the treasury bill in
obedience TO the popular demand, at a
risk 10 our monetary system. But the
stnate bill departs so widely from all my
experience that. under no circumstances,
could vote for IL.
THE secretary's bill proposes to re-
ccive so much Of the silver product of
the United States, that II the product
of the mines and of the ores reduced in
this country, as may be offered at its
market value. and issue notes against II.
The silver product of the United states,
including the silver obtained from MeNi.
can ores reduced in this country, aggre-
gates about bl,OO0, 600 ounces
annually Deducting the amount
used annually in tho arts,
say six million ounces, the amount Of
fered would probably aggiegate iorty;iiye
million ounces at 81 per ounce. The
quantity received and on which notes
would be issued would amount to $40.

mines and smelters. The government is
simply passive agent for such Ameri-
can silver as is offered, and is not com.

Spectators in creating fictitious price
for silver
The committee considered the first two
sections OF Mr.. WINDOWS bill, and re.
Jccted several amendments thoreto.

the joint paragraph limiting treasury
purchases to the domestic product, was
