rushed overheard roaring madly. The
scene is described as horrible in the ex-
treme. The fire originated in some
bales OF cotton st ored just over the
boiler.
The Manhattan sighted the Egypt in
full blaze, in latitude 40 degrees Is min
utes north, longitude 38 degre es west.
but being laden with oil, dared not 90
near the burning vessel. She lowered
her boats, however, and saved all ON
board. Capt. Robinson, of the Manhat-
tan, had only enough provisions for forty
persons, and discussion was had as to
whether or not to make the Azores, $50
miles distant. Finally it was decided
to proceed for Dover. Every one was
placed on short rations. There were $50
head OF cattle on the Egypt, all being
burned to death or breaking
loose and plunging overheard and being
drowned. For time there was much
confusion on the Egypt, but no panic oc-
Cured.
The National Company chartered a
tug. at Dover to meet the Manhattan
and supply her with provisions. She
started at 6 O'Clock last evening with a
full supply of provisions and other nee
essaries for the rescued people.

Three Fatalities.
SAVANNAH, July 24.-W. L. Bullard' s
boarding house, in this city, three
story dwelling, was blown up early this
morning. Three persons were killed

were hurled from their beds and either
buried under the falling debris or
thrown on top of it. The killed are
Mrs. j. Bullard, and Lockley and Gus
Robie.
The cause of the explosion is mysteri-
Gus. Many rumors of an ugly nature
are afoat, but nobody will take the re-
sponsibility of making a direct state
ment. One man insinuated that there
had been row in the house toward the
end of a jollification in which the in
mates were indulging.

LONDON, July 24.-Through a phono-

remarks from General Sherman and
others given at a recent meeting in
New York. Mr.. Gladstone was
deeply interested. He said he
is so accustomed to receiving
notes of kindness from America that
his vocabulary of gratitude has been ex-

a question of the soundness of American
judgment and make him believe Ameri-

be the exceeding warmth with which
they are always pleased to frame their

preached that famous sermon on
blesseds-blessed be this and blessed be
that.
On and up until on the rocks of black
basalt we dismount. and climbing to
the highest peak, look out on an en-
chantment of scenery that seems to be
the beatitudes themselves, arched into
skies and rounded into valleys, and
silvered into waves. The view is like
that Of North Carolina from the top
of Lookout mountain, or like that Of
Vermont and New Hampshire from the
top Of Mount Washington. Hall hills

four miles away! Wonder, clear up and
most conspicuous, is Safed, the very
