DON'T MARRY AT SEA.
Ceremonies Performed by Sea Cap
tains Illegal.

Ceremonies Performed by Sea Cap
tains Illegal.
From the San Francisco Call
"The silly ninnies who run off to sea in
tugborts to be married will some day be
brought to grief in way they least ex-
pect,p was the remark made by promis
nent lawyer yesterday, who was discussing
with a friend the question of tue
legality of such marriages. Under the
laws of this state" he added, "such mar
riages are not recognized as valid. Unless
the parties have a marriage license in due
form and the ceremony is performed by a
regular preacher of the gospel or by some
civil magistrate authorized by the
law to sole nhize marriages the contract
is no good. The people who live
together after being married by the cap
tain of a vessel are simply concubines, and
the issue Of such alliances are illegitimate.
II either of the parties were to marry in a
regular way some other affinity, neither
could be convicted of bigamy."
An old sea captain was asked what he
thought about the matter. He replied that
while it has been a practice from time i'm
me mortal for captains to assume the right
TO marry couples at sea he was fully con-
WINGED that no such authority had ever been
conferred upon sea captains, still less upon
navigators of steam tugs and other coast
wise sailing craft.
The question is being agitated Of passing
a federal or state law imposing severe
penalties upon masters Of tugboats, yachts
and other vessels attempting to solemnize
the marriage ceremony three leagues from
shore or any other distance.

TRUE DEVOTION TO THE CAUSE.

How do feel after my rider said he.
''Well, feel pretty lame. Two hours and
three-quarters on ones knee is what might
be called true de 7otion to the cause, and it's
firing. No, | was not nervous during the
ride, but probably should have been if l
had not been used to riding on every part
of a locomotive for years, though not at
such rate. Seventy-eiRht miles an hour is,
| believe, the fastest tim3 recorded time
made on a level by a locomotive drawing a
train and we ran four miles at that rate.
How did | know this2 Because [ counted
the revolutions of the driving wheels. At
the fastest the drivers made $40 revolutions
minute The counting was done by ear
and by feeling.
ITO any one but a trained ear the sound
from the smokestack of a locomotive travel
ing faster than sixty miles an hour is like a
continuous blast, but an old engineer can
detect distinct pulsations. 1t is an acquired
faculty, and comes only with long expert
ence. There are four putfs to each revolu-
ton of the drivers, and one of these is a lit
tie louder than the others, This seems to
divide them into tours. A trained engineer
can count these puffs, and by grouping
them into twenties, which he checks off on
his fingers, arrive at a conclusion regarding
| the number of revolutions in a minute.
| Then, the circumference OF the drivers being
| known, it is q simple matter to reckon the
| rate of speed. Besides this, there is a sort
of shock throughout the locomotive on the
| down stroke of the driving rod, which aids
| in the counting.

A FLY WITH THE WIND.
AN EDITOR DESCRIBES HIS TRIP IN
A BOX ON a LOCOMOTIVE.

A Tremendous Burst OF Speed Makes

Ee Wasn't Dazed,
NEW YORK May As the Empire State
express of the New York Central road, the
fastest train in the world, stood in the
Grand Central station at o'clock yester-
day morning waiting for the signal to start,

der on the right side Of the locomotive.
This box, open at the top and rear, was OF
riveted iron, and was bolted to the engine.
1t was about three feet high. and just big
enough to hold man who was willing to
compress himself into the smallest possible
space.
Just before the train started a short.
middle-aged man stepped on the front Of
the locomotive, adjusted a delicate gauge
on the cylinder, and then doubled himself
up and disappeared within the iron. The
man was Angus Sinclair, the editor of
Locomotive Engineering. His purpose was

FLYING FASTER THAN THE WIND.
The train ran little slower than its
schedule time until Staatsburg, just this
side of Hudson, was reached. Then it put
on tremendous burst of speed. AS che
trees and fences rushed by in a continuous
blur the passengers who knew about the
man in the little iron box wondered how he
was standing it. When Albany was
reached the passengers and the people in
the station crowded around the locomotive
where Engineers Buchanan and McQuade
and Chief Draughtsman Philip Londrlgan
who had ridden in the cab, were helping
Mr.. Sinclair out of the box.
How do you feelm asked half a dozen at
once.
All right" replied Mr.: Sinclair, Except
that I'm pretty stiff and cramped up. 1t
was fast going part of the time. There
were four miles when we travelled at the
rate of sevenJy-eight miles an hour"
Mr.. Sinclair returned to this city last
night. A reporter saw him to-day at his
Office in Temple court.

MERELY A MECHANICAL ACT.

"This counting has become, through prac-
tice, a mechanical act with mo, and In my

"Were there no unpleasant or peculiar
sensations connected with such rapid move
ment"
"Well, the trees and telegraph poles got
to going by pretty fast. 1 would sight an
object some distance up the track, aud be-
fore could think what it was it would be
behind me. Then, two or three times l
stuck nv head out too far, and the wind hit
me in the back of the neck like club. The
motion did not trouble me much, except
that it made made my knees sore"
The diagrams made from the gauge
showed the locomotive to be almost perfect
as regards distribution Of power. 1t devel-
oped 900 horse power aud consumed 21s
pounds of coal per horse power per hour.
Mr.. Sinclair is confident that with one car
it could run 100 miles an hour. The loco
motive. $50, is the record breaker which, on
the famous run to Buffalo, Sept. IA, 1891
1885, miles in 1851 minutes, made the 143
miles to Albany in 40 minutes. With its
tender it weighs 100 tons. Its drivers are

GENrLEMEN-I am just in receipt
of the History of Indiana" which
has just been gwen TO the pub
lie by Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks.
l have looked through it with some care,
and cay sincerely that l am delighted
with it. 1t ought to go in the hands of all
our people. The young will receive instruc-
ton from it, and those advanced in life
will be pleased by the recoleetions il
awakens. The people OF Indiana I think
are not sufficiently aware of the real
growth and greatness OF their state. 1t re-
quires, in fact, but little study to ascer-
tain, and not much effort to show, that
Indiana according to area is the greatest
and most productive state in the Union,
and possessed of greater and more extern
sive educational advantages than any other
commonwealth OF equal population in the
world. These facts should be taught
everywhere among our people. l fully
believe in the doctrine of state pride, es-
pecially when there is a solid foundation
for it. Such publication as the one now
before me is we'll calculated to inspire the
young and old alike OF Indiana with just
and laudable sentiments of pride and
gratitude. 1t is indeed most charming
book. The ikenesses, taken altogether,
are the best have ever seen in engrav-
ings of their character. Please accept
my sincere thanks and believe me al

"No, sir" answered O'Brien.
"Well, will fine you twenty-five dol

O'Brien cast sorrowful look at the

LABOR RIOTS AT ST. THOMAS.

Troops RepuIsed by the Mob-The City in
 State of Anarchy.
 PANAMA, Sep. 23.-Fierce labor riots arc reported from St. Thomas in the West Indies. Repeated attempts of the civil authorities to put down the rioters failed. The troops were called out, and they met the mob near the English Bank. After a sharp fight, in which eleven soldiers were severely injured with stones and several negroes were shot, the troops were driven back. When the order for retreat was given the mob attacked so hotly that the soldiers broke ranks and fled.
 The worst element has now almost com- plete possession of the city. Scores of houses have been entered a nd plundered by burglars Women fear to walk the streets, as four have been snatched away in broad daylight and have been mal- treated.
 Most of the men from the docks have joined the rioters, and ships lie idle in the harbor because not enough laborers can can be got to load them. Many of the wealthiest families have taken refuge on the ships for fear that they might become victims of fire and outrage in the city. Achievements have been sum- moned from St. Croix.
 At the St. Croix coaling stations only Mexican silver is available, in conse. quence of the trouble at the seat of gov. ernment. The silver is at 30 per cent. discount

THE TRICOLOR IGNORED
Celebration of the Birthday of
 the French Republic.
IMPOSING CEREMONIES AT PARIS.

A Great Demonstration at the Pantheon
 the First Triumph of the Republican
 Arms--Observanoe in New York.
 PARIS, Sep. 23.-One hundred years ago yesterday was the ''first of the year l of the Republic," following the Revo- luton. Yesterday was also the centen- nial of the cannonade of Vslmy, the first triumph of the Republican arms.
 The streets were thronged with people from an early hour, all showing in their appearance, their evident joy and the de- corations they wore, the spirit of pride and patriotism that seemed universal.
 Royalists were absent, but not conspicu- ously, as they have dwindled down to such small coterie that their absence was almost unnoticed.
 Both the national and the municipal governments joined in making the celebra- tion a success, and the extreme Socialist went hand in hand with the Moderate Republican in doing honor to the day which, while it saw the proclamation of the republic also saw the early beginnings of the reign ot terror.
 Around the Pantheon a dense crowd gathered. Here was stationed 8 large body of troops, and no one was admitted to the building without a permit. Presi- dent Carnot and the members of the Min istry arrived at the Pantheon at 10 o'clock, and their appearance was the signal for the playing of the 'Marseillaise" by the military bands. The President and his party were received with enthusiastic ac- clamations
 Deputations from all the civic, military, industrial and commercial bodies of the State were present. NJ. Loubet, the Prime Minister, delivered the oration. He described the birth of the Republic, which, he said, had alone endowed France with the necessary strength to triumph over her enemies.
 NJ. Floquet followed NJ. Loubet. He said that the rejoicing should be styled the Festival of National Independence. The present Republic, thanks to union of parties, had rebuilt the national strength, and is now in a position to in spire respect in all minds and sympathy in many.
 In the afternoon two cavalcades simi- hr in number and costuming started nom the Palais de rIndustrie in the Champs Elysees. One cavalcade crossed thes Seine and passed through the Eau bourg St. Germain and Latin Quarter, while the other traversed the Place de Ia Concorde and reached the Grand Boulevard through the Rue Roy ale. At the head of each procession marched platoon of cavalrymen attired in the uniform of the eighteenth century, the musicians playing airs of the epoch, selected by NJ.

Several of Vessels Crew Thought Co Be
 I'll from the Plague.
 BALTIMORE, Sep. 23.-The bark New. light, Capt. Thompson, ten days from Savannah, is lying off quarantine with the yellow flag flying from her fore-truck. When the vessel was boarded by the quarantine physician it was found that one death had occurred and three men were then critically ill in the forecastle. Doctor Neiskill immediately ordered the vessel into quarantine. Capt. Thompson was taken i'll shortly after the bark was anchored and was confined to bed. Dr. Neiskill learned that on the first day out from Savannah the first mate, James Crammer, died from what appeared to be an attack of dysentery. He was buried the next day at sea. Then several of the crew became incapacitated for duty, so crippling the vessel that she could not be pumped out. From the ordinary leakage she filled to about eight feet and now lies with list to port, caused by the water she holds.
 Dr. Neiskill is not prepared to give an opinion as to the type of sickness on board the Newlight. He began thorough clean ing of the vessel; it will receive 8 bath of bichloride of mercury and then be fumi- gated.
 The reticence of the quarantine officials regarding the case has given rise to an other cholera scare in Baltimore.
 AUSTIN, Tex, Sep. 23.-Fear of cholera in Texas is growing daily and her officials are exercising every known precaution to keep out the scourge. The fact that San Antonio has several cases of cholera excited the whole State. Health Officer Swearin fears that the disease may gain foot hold among the famine sufferers of the Rio Crande
