ANARROW ESCAPE

LIVERPOOL. Feb. 6-What might have
proved a terrible disaster occurred TODAY,
but fortunately the only damage done was
the sinking of steamer. The British
steamer Knutzerd, Capt. Harrison, which
arrived here Feb J, from Galveston, col
lided in the river Mersey with the steamer
Drumendrie, iniuring he latter vessel TO
so great an exl eni that she soon filled aad
sank. What added TO the particularly
dangerous circumstances of the collision
was the fact that the Drumen rie had on
board IA cargo of dynamite. Though the
force of the impact Of the two steamers
was sufficient to crush in the plates of the
Drumendrie, allowing the water to rush
into her hold. il was not sufficient TO eX-
piode the dynamite Had the dynamite
exploded, the result would have been ter
rinly disastrous

RAFTING WITH RANDITS

HAVANA, Cuba, Feb. 6-The police Of
this city recently received information that
several bandits had taken passage on the
Spanish steamer Baldomero 1glesi at this
port with the intention of making their
escape to Aspinwall. The officers went
10 where the steamer was lying The ban
dts opened fire on the officers. The latter
returned the fire and a fierce battle ensued.
The bullets flew thick and fast and the
passengers on the steamer We're thrown
into panic, and the widest eXcitment
prevailed on the vessel
When the police gained possession of
the steamer, il was found that three of
the bandits, including the famous Monte
songo were dead. Montelongo had jumped
into the sea pnd attempted to make his
escape by swimming to the shore. The
officers fired on him in the water and the
3oted outlaw was mortally wounded and
soOn sank. Another of the bandits was
captured. The loss of the policemen is
tight, only two of them being injured.

LONDON. Feb 6-The Star says the
Prince of Wales will shortly appear as q
witness in a court of law. From the yer
sions given of the affair, il appears that
during the St Ieger race week the Prince
of Wales STAYED at Mr.. Arthur Wilson's
house at Doncaster. During his stay the
prince seems to have played at baccarat
with a wealthy military baronet and about
Twenty other players The latter appoint
I'd a committee composed of two ladies
and three gentlemen TO watch the suspect
ed baronet.
This committee, sometime later. deputed
Gen. Owen Williams and Lord Coventry
TO enter into communication with the bar
Onet referred TO. Gen. Williams and Lord
Coventry, without personally endorsing
the charges, fulfilled the unpleasant duty
which was assigned TO them. When the
5aronet was Informed that he was sus-
pected Of winning money at baccarat by
unfair means, he was extremely indignant
and fatty denied the charges made against
aim.
The prince of Wales dreading the un-
pleasant nOtoriety aud disagreeable COM
ments of the radical press which would
be sure TO follow if the scandal was made
public, interspos"d in the dispute. The
result of the princes interpositiOn was
that an arrangement was arrived at by
which the ST. Leger week baccarat scan
1al was TO be hushed up and every pre-
cautiop was to be tsken TO prevent the
fact that the prince of W les had been
connected with baccarat dispute from
reaching the ears of the public
One of the stipu atiOns Insisted upon by
, committee Of the princes friends, and, it
&c said, by the prince of Wales himself,
@as that the accused baronet should give
2 written undertaking not to play cards
tor money in the future. On the other
nnnd, the baronet's accusers agreed to
sign an undertaking that they would not
mention the unfortunate baccarat dispute.
These arrangements and undertakings
were duly signed by the parties interested.
But it seems, in spite of the silence inn
posed upon all concerned by the docu-
ments, that the accused baronet found
that the charges made against him were
soon after the occurrence publicly dis
cussed and commented upon in aristo-
cratic London clubs. The baronet was
therefore left with but two courses to pur-
sue: he had either TO sly nothing, and
practically admit the the truth of the ac-
cusations made against him, or he must
proclaim his innocense by taking logal
action against his accusers.
The baronet chose the latter course. and
IL is now announced has served members
OF the committee of inquiry who watched
his actions while playing baccarat at Mr.
Wilson's house with writs in actions for
libel which be has brought against the
committee.

Protecting Buildings from Lightning

The invention of an improved method of
protecting buildings from lightning in
troduced by the editor of Science, is based
on the large electrical capacity of a fine
powder scattered in dielectric. The elec
trical discharge is received on some body,
which is then dissipated in the form Of
powder, and the potential of the charge is
thereby largely reduced. The quantity of
material which it is necessary to dissipate
in order to furnish protection is not large
if the material be placed so as TO serve to
the best advantage, at the most not exceed
ing few cubic inches.

THROUGH THE WEARY HOURS

OF many a night, made doubly long by Its
protracted ageny, the rheumatic sufferer
tosses TO and from on his sleepless couch,
vainly praying for that rest which only
comes by fits and starts. His malady Is
one which ordinary medicines too often
fail o relieve, but there is ample evidence
to prove that the efficient blood depurent,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, affords the
rheumatic "a reliable means of relief.
Check the malady in its incipient stages,
when the first premonitory twinges come
on, with this agreeable medicine, and
avoid years of torture. Whatever be the
rationale of the active influence of the Bit
ters upon this malady, certain it is that no
evidence relating TO its effectis more di-
rect ana positive than that which relates
to its action in cases of rheumatism. Like
all sterling remedies, however, it deserves
a protracted, systematic trial, and should
not be abandoned because not at once
remedial. 1t is equally efficacious in dys-
pepsia, indigestion and kindred diseases.
