At IL O'clock tables in the open pavilion

Took French Leave.

George Darby, the crack pitcher of the
Portland base ball team, left town on the
Pullman train going West at 2 O'Clock yes
terday morning. and his whereabouts are at
present unknown.
No one on the team could give any infor-
nation except Westlake. with whom Darby
rOomed. He could only say that the little
pitcher packed his trunk Thursday night
and left for the Union Station between 1
and o'clock yesterday morning.
1t is thought that he has gone to one of the
American Association teams. The assocla-
tion is not party to the national agreement
and Darby can play on any team Of that or
ganizatioD, but if he ever wants to play any
where else this jumping Of his Portland con.
tract will stop him very quickly.

club yesterday noon and they were very much
surprised at Darby's action. He was popu-

particularly so with the public. He is O

AGAINST SUNDAY OPENING.
The Christian Endeavar Society and
ths Worlds Fair.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 10.-The Chris
tian Endeayor convention held a prayer
meeting at $50 this morning. A numerous
throng participated. The meeting was led
by William Shaw Of Boston. After break
fast the regular exercises of the day began,
there being fully 1900 persons in the con-
vention hall. After the opening hymn,
This is My Story" Rev. DIR. s. NJ. Ware OF
Omaha read from Corinthians IL, vi, and
Rev. DIR. MILAN of Allegheny City, Pa, Of
fered prayer. President Clark announced
the committees on resolutions, nominations,
greetings and business. A free discussion
on the theme, What the Society has Done" I"
was led by Rev. G. Il. Rambler Of Indlanapo-
lis. The delegates told Of the Eudeavor
achievements in all parts Of the country.
Then came the formsi addresses of the
morning, which took the form of q symposi-
um. on the theme, what the Society May
Do" Rev. DR.. +. o. Holman Of this city
laid down what he conceived TO be the prin-
ciples governing the relations Of the society
to the pastor. It was the pastors greatest
help, and solved the problem Of how to In
terest young people In church work. He
emphasized the idea that the society's frs
and supreme duty is Christ's work; its sec
ond, allegiance to its own church and pastor.
The practical relation Of the society to the
pastor he summed up In the word Loyal
ty."
Rev. DIR. E. X. Ollie. Of oakland, Cal,
Church Officers" The burden of his thought
was that the Endeavor society Of today Is
the church of the twentieth century. la
that fact lay the solution Of that mighty
problem, the conversion Of the world. There
was energy and power enough In the church
OF today TO Chrstianizs the whole world by
the dawn Of the twentieth century, but It
needed organization and conservation.
Rev. DIR. James A. Worden Of Pbiladel-
phia, the great Presbyterian Sunday school
worker, closed the morning session by talk
on the society and the Sunday school.
This afternoons exercises began with an
open conference on soulwinning, and two
hours were consumed In talks on this gener-
al topic. Rev. Charles A. Dickinson OF Bos-
ton delivered an address on "The English
Campaign" The afternoons proceedings
wound up with a talk by l.. w. Munhall,
evangelist, on "rhe Society as a Missionary
and Eyangelistic Force" A conference Of
the state presidents was held between the
sessions today on the subject Of the opening
of the worlds fair Sunday. The meetin z
will formulate strong protest for the ap-
proyal Of the convention.

Correspondence OF the Press.l

RICHMOND, Me-, July, 1891
Sometime last winter an article appeared
In one Of the New York daily papers, copied
In the PRESS of February q, giving an ac-
count OF the fate Of many Of the old Yankee
clipper ships, in which 1t was stated that
the ship Noon-Day was lost on Noon Day
Rock, January 3, 1853.
One Of Rlchmond's retired sea captains
gave to the writer the following account Of
the circumstance:
MONDAY Rock, the existence of which
was not known previous to that time, is sit
uated about 800 miles southeast from San
Francisco Heads In the Pacific Ocean. 1t
was so deeply submerged that the sea did
not break over 1t. except In heavy weather.
The ship, "Noon-Day." bound for San
Francisco. was near this spot on that day,
going along in a rather heavy sea, when, 60
ing down in the trough Of the sea she struck
on the top OF this rock, staving hole In her
bottom and she Immediately filed and sank.
The crew took to the boats and succeeded In
reaching San Francisco, where they report
ed what had happened.
Sometime afterward, probably after the
war, the United States government apprc-
priated a sum OF money to have the rock
hunted up and the top Of IL blown off, A
vessel was sent TO the Vicinity and succeeded
In finding the obstruction. The method en-
ployed to accomplish this result Is termed
sweeping" A long chain was suspended
by each end from boats, allowing the middle
part to sink deep and then the boats moved
forward at some distance apart. They final
ly struck the rock, which was OF pyramidal
form, and moving toward each other wound
the chain around the upper part OF the rock
and buoyed 1t to mark the situation.
A keg OF nitro-glycerine was afterward
placed on the rock, or suspended on one side
OF IL, and exploded, blowing of the apex. so
there VAS no more danger OF vessels striking
II.
The man who placed the nitrO-glycerine
was John z, Mitchell, formerly OF Richmond,
who was lowered down In his diving suit
and fastened the keg, containing the explo-
sive to the rock in position to do its work.
Mitchell, familiarly known among his
friends as Jack" afterwards related the
above narrated occurrences to the captain,
who repeated them to the writer.
Speaking further OF the above mentioned
article, the captain said he had seen a num-
Der of the ships Of which 1t spoke at the
Chtncha Islands, where they were loading
guano, In 1856, and later years.
At one time, while at those Islands, he has
seen fleet aggregattng 10000 tons Of Ameri-
can shipping, taking In cargo or waiting
time to load. The manner In which the
guano was loaded was to bring IL from the
Island to the vessels in launches and pass Il
up over the ships side, or through the side
ports In baskets. This work was by Corlies.

the SAME OLD CHESTNUT.
This Time a Western Paper Dis
covers That Blaine Is Dying.

BAR HARBoR, July 10.-Emmons Blaine
laughed heartily today when shown a dis
patch printed in western paper to the effect
that the Secretary was sinking rapidly and
the doctors had no hope. He said, "This is
nonsense. 1t is utterly false. Father goes
out every day. He is out today and is really
better today than l have seen him since
have been here" Other members of Mr.
Blaine's family confirm this denial, md say
that Mr.. Blaine is really improving, and has
been since his sickness in New York. They
have no doubt of his ultimate complete re-
cOvery. Mr.. Blaine was out riding today as
usual. That he is constantly improving in
appearance and health is clearly apparent to
every person who meets or sees him driving.
His eye Is gaining lustre and his cheeks their
color. He dismounts without assistance
and walks erectly. There Is every reason to
believe that he will be able to resume his
official duties in Washington next fall. All
reports to the contrary are foolish inven-
tiOns without foundation.

vicinity of CapeHOrn, when gales and
storms commenced to be encountered, but
the vessel met them all and sailed along
serenely until she arrived of the Cape

ward Nassau Bay. In a short time she
struck on a sunken rock which was not

sinking rapidly.
The officers and crew had to man the
boats, and leave her with nothing but the
clothes they had on their backs. This ac-
cident occurred about 40 miles west Of De
ceit Island. The ~ men took to two Of the
boats, one containing four men and the
other eight.
They rowed to an island some distance
away but found 1t only a barren spot and
without Inhabitants. There they remained
until the furious gale then blowing abated
aud after consulting their chart they made

on which was located a missionary station,
They arrived safely :and found there were
