retirement OF the Blaine Is not as bad as first re-
ported. While landing at Morgantown one day
last week. 1t struck rock which caused 1t to leak,
but not bad enough to prevent it from returning
to Brownsville.
JUDGE AcHEsoN decided against the towboat
Twilight in the suit Of Christopher RUSSELL and
John A. Campbell against the steamboat Frank
Gilmore. Russell was employed as a deckhaud on
the Twilight, and on refusing to do some work re-
quested by the Captain. he was landed and put
on. This Is another case In which the steamboat
men of Louisville have been likewise affected. It
was question of who was master Of the boat. the
Captain the roustie. This shows the neces-
stY for the rivermen to take some action about the
Irregular work of the deckhands. AS the matter
rests at present the deckhand can quit work when
ever he chooses. which is always before the time
expires in which the boat has finished its trip.
The Louisville riyermen propose holding meet
ing shortly and adopt plans which will put an end
to this practice.

WARD MALLIsTER IN CHARGE.
He Will superintend Arrangements for
Young Waies' Reception.


NEWPORT, R. l., July 2O.-Though
Prince George OF Wales may not arrive for
a month society people are all in Autter.
Ward McAllister, who has charge Of
the arrangements, is being applied
to from all sources for tickets to
the grand cotillon. From present indica-
tions he will be at his wits ends to keep the
number down to his original limit-250. 1t
is understood that the subscription is 800
and that each of the subscribers will be al
lowed nine extra tickets. Mr.. McAllister
has promised to eclipse all his previous
triumphs ON this occasion. Pinard has
been given carte blanche aad the
decorations are to be especially elab-
crate. Orders have been sent to
New York by several cottages for decora-
tions, and Newport will be in holiday at
tire when the Prince arrives. Louis Lor-
riIlard, whose estate,s Vlneland. is one of
the most beautiful in Newport, will prob
ably give a luncheon in honor of the Prince.
His entertainment must necessarily be of
quiet character, as he is still in mourning.
The Prince will call on George Bancroft,
but the venerable historian will not be
asked to entertain him on account of his
great age. Cornelius Vanderbilt will give
a dinner at the Breakers to the Prince.
and if arrangements can be made
there will be dance later.
Mrs. Parran Stevens will give
dinner in honor of the Prince whose father
witnessed the marriage of her daughter
Minnie to Captain Arthur Padget There
are three other dinners to be given,
but the names of the hosts cannot
be made public at present. There is to
be a ball at the Casino, though just
under what auspices it will take place has
not been definitely settled. 1t is more than
likely now that it will be subscription
ball, as if the governors of the Casino were
TO give it they say they would not know
where to stop in the matter of invitations.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British Minister,
will arrive in few days.

Defendants File Answer.
CHICAGO, July 20.-J. v. Farwell, Sem
ator Charles B. Farwell, Congressman Alb
ner Taylor and Lawyer George f. West
over have fled an answer to William Stur-
ges' bill, on which he obtained an injunc-
tion recently restraining sale of 6, 1856 shares
of the Capital Freehold Land and Invest
ment Company and 74o of the Sonora Land
Company. Sturges claimed that this
property was given by him as collat-
eral security for note for $40. made to
him by John v. Farwell, in part payment
for raising between $4,000, 900 and S5,OoO,-
900 of British capital to aid the Farwell
syndicate in building the Texas State Capt.
tol
The defendants deny that the note was
ever given as part payment for any services,
but that it was q simple loan from John v.
FarweIl. Mr.. Farwell confirms a pretty
generally credited report that Sturges got
into him in several schemes for large
amounts. s-
He saws that prior to 1884 Sturges had
"worked" him for about 500. 900, the mer-
chant losing that respectable sum through
the "act, advice and persuasion" of Sturges.
In that year Sturges went to Lon
don on private business, and offered
while there to get subscriptions
for the Texas plan then being put on foot.
He reported on his return that he had got
subscriptions for large amounts. This state
ment FarweH found to be false on visit to
London in 1885 He had been mlsled by
iSturges. He organized the Capital Free
hold Land and Investment Company and
contracted with Kensington & Co., of Lon
don, to negotiate and sell its debentures at
their own expense, they to receive stock in
the Capital Company equal to 30 per cent
ST the bonds they should sell.
Farwell says the Kensington Company
raised only $40, 900 of subscription and then
repudiated the rebate contract. Farwell had
to buy the rebate contract of the company
for Eli, 900 sterling in debentures of the
company at 6 per cent, and it was trans
ferred to the name of Sturges. On the re-
turn to America Farwell demanded the con-
tract, but Sturges refused to surrender it,
claiming it as his own.
To avoid trouble Farwell entered into a
contract of arbitration, which Senator Far
well and Congressman Taylor refused to
ratlfy, and Sturges then went 10 certain ON
GERS of the Capital Company of London
and threatened suits. Fearing embarrass-
ment and destruction of the company's
credit, Farwell says, he got his partners
to agree to another arbitration contract,
whereat Sturges became overbearing and
insolent, intermeddled with defendants af-
fairs and procured the dismissal of man.

BRoCKToN, July 20.-The town authori-
ties here are in an amusing quandary over a
remarkable suit that has been brought
against them by Henry Stearns, who claims
$40, 900 damages. Stearns was arrested last
Wednesday afternoon for being intoxicated,
and was locked up in the town jail.
That afternoon the big fire broke out,
which rapidly spread toward the prison. In
the excitement the prisoner was overlooked
and left to himself. He came near being
roasted alive. The roof was blazing and
the falling sparks set fire to his cell.
but no one came to his aid, al
though the frenzied man beat the
bars and shrieked frantically for
help. His clothing was taking fire, when
with a leap of desperation he broke down
the iron door and fled through flames and
smoke to the outer air. he claims the dam
ages for his injuries, which he says are
temporary burns and permanent injury to
his nervous system through the great fright
he was in. He has good case.

He asserts his innocence. and sticks to his first
statement that they were assaulted by an

the theory is they engaged in fight, the
result of several days quarrel, and that Van
devender struck him first knocking him down,
and lnfiicting the wounds on the back OF
Roadhouse's head by his falling on the coal in

In Its Cradle.
NEW YORK, July 2e.-The 2-months-old
child of Mrs. Frederick Sonenberg, who
lives on the second floor of the tenement
house No. 80 East Fifty-ninth street. was Sc
verely bitten on the head and arm by a
large rat shortly before daylight yes
terday morning. The child was asleep
in the bed with Mrs. Sonenberg at the
time and she was awakened by its cries of
pain. She was Mortified to see huge rat
with its teeth fastened in the child's head.
The latter was writhing with pain. Mrs.
Sonenberg screamed, but the rat paid no
attention to her and still held the child's
scalp In its teeth. She struck the rat, and
before it released its hold she was COM
PEELED to repeat the blow. Itthen turned,
and. making an angry snap at Mrs. Sonen-
bere's hand, leaped off the bed and disap-
peared in the hole.
Two cuts about an inch long and q quarter
of AN inch apart were discovered on the left
side OF the child's head, just above the ear.
Another wound of little consequence was
found on the child's fat little wrist, which
had evidently been received in an attempt
to beat off its tormentor. The child's
wounds were dressed at hospital.

VIRTUES OF COFFEE.

A stImuIanf, Cure for Dipsomania and q
Disinfectant.
1t is asserted by men of high professional
ability that when the system needs a stimu-
liant, nothing equals cup of fresh coffee.
Those who desire to rescue the dipsomaniac
from his cups will find no better substitute
for spirits than strong, newly made coffee,
without milk or sugar. Two ounces Of
coffee, or one-eighth of a pound, to one pint
of boiling water, makes frst-class bever-
age, but the water must be boiling, not
merely hot. It is asserted that malaria and
epidemics are avoided by those who drink
cup of hot coffee before venturing into the
morning air. Burned on hot Goals coffee is
disinfectant for sick room, and by some
of the best physicians it is considered q
specific in typhoid fever.

DIR. II. Fol has been recommending the
use of diving dress for collecting purposes

depths. He says, as a result of his own ex-
perience, that the dress is not all disagree
able; but he suggests the advisability of
going down and coming up slowly. and lim-
Itlng the duration OF the dive" to about a
quarter Of an hour. There is a singular
charm, he says, in the unfamiliar sights at
the bottom of the sea, and the collections he
has been able to make have proved to be
most valuable. The notion of walking per-
pendicularly, as pictures show. is false one,
for the body has to incline forward at least
45o, but it isimpossiblet to fall down quickly.
After the first few yards have been traversed

Shoe Mnnufac,urinr Cities,

There is general impression that Lynn
is the center OF the shoe manufacturing bus

hind. This is quite mistake. Haverhill,
Mass, sends out more shoes than Lynn,
which is not even second in the list for, as
rule, the weekly shippings from st. Louis
exceeds those from the city whose name is a
by-word among the leather trades.
