Sighted at Sea. Repairing Some Unknown
Damage.
NEW YORK, Dec 30. 1S92.-The steam-
ship Galileo tBr.), Captain Jones, late
Coleman. from Hull. December II, with
merchandise to Sanderson Sons, arrived
at the bar at four o'clock A. M. today.
She had continuation OF west northwest
gales and high seas throughout the pas
sage, with frequent snow squalls.
On December 10 Captain Cole man was
taken sick, and died ON the 10Th from
valvnlar disease of the heart. He was
buried at sea on the Goth during u north
west gale.
On December 25. at five P. M, in Iati-
tnde 1852 longitude 58.55, the lookout
sighted large steamship bearing north
west, apparently disabled.
The Galileo bore down close to her, and
she exhibited three red lights, showing
tnas she was unmanageable, but not
requiring assistance. She proved to be
tine Cunard steamship Umbria from Liver
pool for New York.
She made no other signals for assist
ance. although a heavy sea was running
at the time. She lay quite easy, with the
wind northwest. blowing fresh north
east gale
Captain Jones was of the opinion that
the machinery was disabled, aud that she
Was laying-to. making the necessary re-
pairs.
On the morning of December
10. the Umbria passed two
steamships bound east, which
would DO doubt fall in with her and rem
der any assistance necessary, should she
require it. Captain Jones thinks that
There need be no alarm for her safety.

SOME REMEDY SHOULD BE FOUND.

The residents of West Bergen are wondering
when the Central Railroad Company will begin
improving West Side avenue, near the low
bridge.
Chief Engineer Ruggles says it is not his fault
that the improvement is not begun. He fur
n'shed the company's engineers with grade
maps, and they promised to forward to him the
surveys. That promise has not yet been re-
dc -med. Not few of West bergen people have
censured the city authorities for not compelling
the company to raise the bridge, and ask why
was the company In the first place permitted to
erect the structure?
Mr.. Ruggles replies that he served notice on
the company 10 raise the bridge some time ago,
and the company said that the bridge was built
before any street existed. The City Engineer,
on looking up the matter, found that statement
to be correct. The city cannot, therefore, force
the company to elevate the bridge

PERSIA AND THE PERsIANs.

The Rev. Peter e. Easton, Missionary from
Persia, told the story of his labors for the last
twenty years last evening in the Scotch Pres
byterian Church. He dwelt on the integrity in
words of the people. They had prayer to be
faithful to their God and victorious over their
enemy, the devil The country is beautiful
giving signs Of progress in modern ideas. The
people are primitive their manners and Gus
toms. How strange that we should owe so
much to Persia for our religion and should now
be called to pay our debt by sending to it mis-
sionaries of the Cross.
This Is not the My land touched by Bible his
tory that Is now sunk in ignorance and super
stition as to require to receive light from the
Christian Church in America If not faithful to
our trust here, we too might prove warning
by exhibiting a certain decadence in religion
that might require the missionary from Persia
or Syria or the Dark Continent to come back to
US.

WATSON IN ATLANTA.
He Was Hero to Confer with His Party
Friends About the state

Friends About the state
Congressman Tom Watson spent Mon
day In the city. He was fresh from the
halls of the national house OF representa-
tiyes and the jag committee room.
His coming brought radiant smiles to
the faithful around the third party head
quarters.
Mr.. Watson has been sick, and is not
looking very strong. 1t is a singular fact
that every Georgia congressman who has
returned home WAS under the weather.
MIR. Moses was, and so were Colonel
Livingston and Mr.. VIM, Of the ninth.
The congressman got no chance 10 rest
during the day. tie went over the whole
situation here III the state.
What the reports We're that he got was
a secret, of course, but they were as hope
full as the facts would warrant AcsSIS.
Post, Ellington Daniel and others present
ed their estimates OF the third partys
strength Then the party split in the
ninth engaged Mr.. Watsons attention The
congressman from the tenth wants com
promise brought about between Winn and
Pickett But the friends of one cannot be
counted on to support the other III the case
of withdrawal, and Mr.. Watson worried
over it no little.
As he came out of the conference, in
which this matter was discussed, he was
met by Il group of newspaper men.
Colonel Tom was carrying the roll of
Gag" committee testimony under one arm
then. lie is going to use that III his cam
paiggn. ,o~o - 10 ao;d GOOD hnnoro,

special reasons, and good ones Tomorrow
| speak ut my home, Thomson, and will
have some things to say on recent events:
Everybody is invited to come down. l.
will do some talking then, 80 let me OH
now. -
And more than that, the author would
not say, except once, when some remark
was made about the criticisms on his
book. Then he quoted old Sam Johnson,
who said that an author should wish q book
TO be Jumped on and deemed that book
failure which did not receive some COM
ment.
That books of the congressman's by the
way, is having a good sale >,
The proceeds from the sale or ms law
library did not compare with what he is
receiving from the sale of his campaign
book.
TO his friends Mr.. Watson said what he
wrote in his book had no business to be
dragged into congress, but when 1T was
brought up lie either had to own up that he
had lied or prove what he had written. He
took the latter horn of the dilemma and
maintains firmly that the testimony bore
ont his comments. The report of the in
vestigating committee has not convinced
the tenth's congressman that he was wrong
Many who saw Mr.. Watson during the
day thought that he is ratified over his
chances Of getting back to congress He
will stump his district and make an aggres-
sive fight He will not be downed without
the hottest sort of Il canvass.
Jerry Simpsons statement that Watson
will not go into the third district to try to
defeat Speaker Crisp was contradicted at
