April are called Lrrds, because the radiant
point is in Lyra; the August nleteors, radi-
atlng from a point in Perseus, are called
PerseidS; the meteOrs OF November 18Th
are called Leonids, because they radiate
from point in the constel alton Leo. and
the meteors Of November 9th are called
Andromeds, because the radiant point is in
AndrOmeda.
The constellation Leo does not rise well

in the northeastern sky, little before mid

He Says He Is Victim of Ship Crews
Conspiracy.
Nathaniel Morando, an English negro
and steward on the English ship Edin-
borough. was arrested last night for assault
with deadly weapon. From the story told
by the prisoner he has been harsbly dealt
with, and the arrest Is the result of a con-
spracy between Captain Cutler of the Ed
inbor0ugh and the cook, j. Francis. to beat
him out of 500 wages due him. MorandO
shipped as steward, but on the passage ont
from England CAPTAIN Cutler ordered him
to go forward and do seaman's duty. He
refused and was thrown in irons for eleven
days on bread and water When the sh D
reached this port last Thursday MorandO
was discharged. He saw the captain later
and they apparently reached a settlement.
Last evening Morando boarded the ship
at the Mission-stieet Wharf, when the cap
tain, so the prisoner says. ordered the cook
10 knock him ont" The cook obeyed in
Structions and Morando grabbed hammer
to defend himself. whereupon the entire
crew took hand and turned the steward
over TO the police.
