Imprisoned on a Steam Shin.

Yesterday at the Cunard pier in East Boston
fifty of the sickest and most disguised looking
travellers were gathered awaiting the pleasure
OF the custom officials. For the first time in
eight days they had been out in the open air.
They had been prisoners, for they were pas
sengers of the steam ship Cephalonia, just in
from Liverpool after terrible fourteen days
voyage, eight of which they had been under
battened matches in the saloon. The steamer
itself looked as if a mountain had fallen upon
1t, Its upper deck and rigging being smashed.
The officers report a series of hurricanes un-
precedented in their experience. So heavy
grew the rollers that on the sixth day the cap
tam explained to the passengers that the safety
OF the ship compelled him to imprison them in
the cabins and batter down ali the matches and
lights. This they objected to and for eight days
the terrible pitching and strGining of the ship
continued. They never saw daylight except
through double dead light On January 10 a
giant sea, during snow squall; arose over the
bow, so feet high, and, falling on the deck,
badly sprung it, smashing in the hurricane deck
over the smoking room and nearly demolishing
the bridge, besides injuring number of the
crew. The water which came down the stack
near ly put out the fires of the furnaces and the
pass engers were nearly scared to death.

AMNESTY TO DESERTERS.
"A Coming Proclamation From the Pres
ident Affecting 81 900 Men.

Secretary Proctor yesterday took to the White
House for the Presidents signature the draft
Of a proclamation granting amnesty to the
$4,000 deserters from the army now at large.
This step is taken as a result of an agitation of
the subject by Senator Plumb, who wrote a
letter TO the President urging the pardon OF
these men. He quoted the records to show that
since the date of the last amnesty 1881 en-
listed men of the United States army have de-
serted. Only $3.50, or about one-fitth, have re-
turned to the service by surrender or arrest.
''There are, therefore" the Senator wrote, 'over
$4,000 deserters at large, OF whom only a small
percentage will ever be apprehended. They
are undoubtedly in practically all the walks of
life, going about their daily tasks in constant
fear OF arrest and punishment for an offense
which evidences no lack of patriotism and in
wolves the least possible moral turpitude."
The President replied to the Senator ex-
pressing a favorable opinion of the plan, and
also in his conversation with Secretary Proctor
on the subject he took the same view. 1t is,
therefore, thought likely that the proclama-
ton will be issued. In 1873 President Grant
offered amnesty to all who surrendered them
selves before January l. 1874. The present
plan contemplates no such condition.

Another Big Flood Feared.

The heavy rains have swollen all the small
streams in western Pennsylvania and dispatches
indicate considerable damage in Washington,
Westmoreland and Allegheny counties in Penn
sylvania and in the vicinity of Wheeling, VIVA.
All the small streams are bank full and the low
lands are inundated. Small bridges, fences,
outhOuses and trees have been washed away
and fears OF a great flood are apprehended if
the rain continues. 1t is still raining and the
rivers are rising, but no damage has been
done.
The Conemaugh and Stony creek are very
high at, Johnstown and there is danger of
several of the wooden bridges being swept
away. The Cambria bridge is i'll imminent
danger and the Woodvale bridge may go also.
Engineers say the rapid rising of these streams
Is due to the cutting away of so many trees up
the valleys, and if this is not stopped the floods
will be greater than ever.
Representative Scull Of the Johnstown dis
trict will offer bill in Congress for an appro-
priatiOn of 100000 for dredging the Cone
maugh and Stony creek and making other i'm
prOyementS.

MALADY LA MODE.
1t Is no Respector Of PersOns-Lady
Stanley of Preston Down Sick With 1t.

Ethelbert J.. Dudley, vice president of the
St. Paul and Duluth railway, died at St. Paul
| last evening at the Ryan hotel, aged forty five
years.
Lady Stanley of Preston. wife Of Canada's
governor general, is seriously i'll at Ottawa and
is believed to be suffering from influenza. In
consequence the usual reception. which was to
have been held after the state dinner today, to
the wives of the cabinet ministers and other in
vited guests will not take place.
The influenza is raging in Athens, Greece,
with great severity. The entire royal family
has it.
DIR. Talmage has Cancelled all his engagements
in London and in the provincial towns III con-
sequence of the influenza. The princess OF
Wales is better. The influenza is increasing in
southern Germany. Many deaths have &C
CURED from the disease and the schools have
been closed in various places.
In view OF the prevalence of influenza in
England and its probable spread DIR. Bernard
OConnOr. writing in the Lancet, states that
one sniff of periodate crystals cuts short an at
tack of influenza, and that it has the effect of
immediately putting an end to the most pro-
nounced nasal symptoms of acute febrlle Ca
tarrh; that periodate is the most powerful anti
septic ever used and may be swallowed without
the least risk
The members of the family of Warden James
Burnett of the county prison at Norristown,
Pa, are all abed. Warden Burnett has been
suffering from pneumonia two weeks. Mrs.
Burnett was taken sick about a week ago with
the same illness, and her condition is extremely
critical Lieut.. George Burnett, U.S.A.. is
seriously i'll with congestion of the lungs, and
under charge of Warden Burnett fourteen pris-
oners are being treated for the grip.
Names of victims OF the grip continue to be
sent to the Chicago health office. Not only are
the deaths multiplying every hour, but the re-
ports OF the public schools are appalling. The
death permits now number over one hundred
per day Eleven deaths within the past twenty
four hours are to be attributed directly to the
grip or its immediate complications.
DR.. Andrew jackson Snively of Hanover Pa,
one OF the leading physicians and druggists of
that place, Is dead from pneumonia. superin-
duccd by the grip. He was graduate of Belle
view medical college, New York.
There were 173 deaths in New York during
the twenty -four hours ending at noon yester-
day. OF these 40 were attributed to pneumo-
nla % to consumption and IA to bronchitis; II
deaths were reported as due to influenza COM
plicated with other diseases, chiefly pneu-
monia.
There have been 107 deaths in Cleveland
since last saturday. an unprecedented death
rate at this season of the year. Twenty-Five
deaths are due to pneumonia and eleven to
consumption. aud these can undoubtedly be
traced to the grip.

the note should be detected at a glance. The
vignette of Jackson is a poor likeness and is
Very indistinet. In the historical scene only
the outline of a dog is discernible, while in the
genuine the dog is very distinct. In the penalty

Women Smash the Saloons.

At Halton, small town north of Mayville, s.
D., the Blind Pigs" have had it all their own
way for some time and have openly defed the
law. On Monday eight women from the
country whose husbands have been spending
nearly all their time in these places prepared
themselves with axes and other weapons,
marched in body to the saloons and began
chopping and smashing everything in the
place. The leader is quiet and unassuming
woman, but when she learned that she had
signed a mortgage on the farm in order that a
saloon bill could be paid she could stand it no
longer and got together seven other women and

Miss Camerer on Insanity.

Col. Ingerson cross-examined Miss Camerer
in her breach of promise suit yesterday. In
reply to question said that she occasionally
found 50 or $40 bill in her pocket book,
which she could only account for by believing
that Mr.. Muller put them into it when he found
the pocket book lying around while she was out
OF the room. She expressed the opinion that
it would not be wrong to get divorce from a
loving wife because she was insane. She con-
sidered Mr.. Muller's wife morally dead to him,
because insanity is something like DEATH" she
said. Miss Camerer denied that contract had
been drawn up between them to love as man
and wife until Mrs. Muller should die. Her
love for an elderly admirer was not strange,
she said, because she was always partial to
elderly men. She gave her age thirty -one
years, though scarcely any one would take her
to be more than TWENTY-FIVE.

The Sharon Case Virtually Ended.

Judge Shafter, in the San Francisco superior
court yesterday, rendered decision in the
Sharon case which virtually ends that famous
litigation. The principal point in the presen,
controversy was on demurrer to the answer
made by the Sharon heirs. In this answer
they Incorporated the decree of the United
States circuit court by which the alleged mar
riage contract between William Sharon and
Sarah Althea Hill was declared forgery and
ordered Cancelled. Judge Shafter held that
this decree of the United States court was in
legal existence. He ordered the Sharon case
postponed indefinitely

Married by a Woman,

An event of perhaps more than ordinary
local interest occurred in kalamazoo, Mich
recently. 1t was the marriage of Miss Lena
Bragg Of Kalamazoo to Charles A. Burton OF
Chicago. The service was performed by a
woman-Miss Carrie Julia Bartlett, pastor OF
the Unitarian church, lady whose great gifts
and culture, joined with a most charming per-
sonahty, have made her widely admired and
much talked OF. The ceremony itself differed
from any of those usually performed. Miss
Bartlett Is an accomplished elocutionist, and al
the first step Ill the ceremony read a poem
entitled In Iwos, byW.C. Cannot, descriptive
OF q happy married life. Following the poem
a short address was made to the company assem-.
bied, beautiiuIlywordeda aud tastefuily delivered
and then came the marriage ceremony proper
which also contained some original forms and
language, but certainly lacked nothing of the
formalty and earnestIess becoming such a
service. 1t was Miss Bartletts first effort in
performing the marriage ceremony, and so far
as any one knows the first instance of thai
service being performed by u woman.

A Civil Service Protest.

The civil service reform association of Phila-

President Harrison protesting against propo-

States to withdraw from the classified service
the employees of the railway mail service. The
memorial recites the many evils and abuses
which, it is claimed, will arise should the Sem
ate accept the proposition, and calls upon the
President in the event of its passage by both
houses to prevent 1t becoming a law by the ex-
ercise OF the veto power
