schooners Ada S. Babson and Laurel ar
rived to-day from Iceland, each bring
ing 1900 pounds of halibut. August
Johnson, a member of the crew of the
Babson, was lost overheard on the home
ward passage. The Danish bark Hogla,
exploring the coast of Greenland, had ar
rived at Dyreford. Her commander re-
ports that she was fifteen months on the
coast, most of the time imprisoned in the
ice; that one of her crew had died, and
that explorations of considerable impor-
lance were made. The party found the
remains of Esquimaux habitations, with
dishes made of stone, and other articles
the use of which was unknown.
The Hogla explored the Island of jan
mayer, in latitude 10 north, longitude 70
west, very deep water being found in that
locality. The party dredged in 475
fathoms of water, bringing up sediment
which contained much animal vegetation,
such as sea anemone, together with peb-
bles similar to iron ore.
Alter retitting at Iceland, the Hogla
sailed August 18th for Greenland to COM
plete scientific researches, which she has
been commissioned to do, intending 10

Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.


PARIS, Oct. 2.-Joseph e. Renan, the
distinguished philologist and author,
died to-day. Tuesday last he went driv-
ing and caught severe cold, which
speedily developed into congestion of the
lungs.
1t is said that Renan was rational to the
last moment, and when he found death
drawing nigh expressed wish that he
might have national funeral, and his
body be inferred in the Pantheon.
Renan died in the College de France, a
little way beyond the new buildings of
Sorbonne. His children were present at
the bedside. No priest attended the dying
man. De Freycinet, Minister of War,
General Fevrier, Pere Hyacinthe, Mile
Comte Deslile, NJ. Puvis de Chavannes,
and other personages celebrated in the
political, artistic and scientific worlds of
France, called at the college during the
day and inscribed their names on the
visitors book.
Four hours before death Renan turned
to his wife and said "Why are you
sad?':
because l see you suffer-" she re-
piled.
o Ceihl anu Eeslg ueu, ne responded;
we undergo laws of that nature whereof
we are the manifestation. We perish;
we disappear; but heaven and earth re-
main, and the march of time goes on for
ever"
Renan had long suffered from COM

ism and govt. Being conscious he would
soon die, he made arrangements for the
publication of the final volume of his

hence some volumes of "reminiscences.

RACING AT SAN JOSE.
w. Wood and Beaury Nc Make Very
Fast Time.


SAN JOSE, Oct. 1.-The racing at the
park yesterday was distinguished for
three things-tast time, favorite's day
and all races being won in straight heats.
The attendance was good, far exceeding
that of any other day except Friday.
The programme was made up of the
free-for-all pace, the free for-all trot and
the 2:27-class trot. There was a contest
in each of the first two races.
In the pace w. Wood, Our Dick.
Princess Alice and Rosie Nc made M
the field, in which Our Dick was the hot
test kind of favorite. He went the way
that so many favorites have been going
this season, and w. Wood, who is round
ing into the best PAGER that California has
seen in many years, beat him in straight
heats. The other horses did not figure in
the fight at all.
In the free-for-all trou the talent were
divided between Beaury Nc and Rich
mond Jr., first one and then the other
selling favorite. Silver Bow, Frank NJ.
and the two mentioned made up the field.
Beaury was himself to-day, and he won
the three heats straight in 2:I5!, 2:l44 and
2:15l.
The 2:27 class trot was straight heat
proposition for Astor. Rinconado was
able to chase him home in the first two
heats in 2:l14 and 2:1Sl, and Maggie car
ried him the third heat in 2:17, but Astor
did not make wobble in the race and
won it without being extended to his
limit.

QUALITIES OF LITHO- CARBON.
Peculiar Powers of a Mineral Des-

Litho-carbon, which is mineral some
what resembling asphalt, is the most re-

Is claimed that 1t makes perfect insu-

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. "A Times Demo-
cFot San Antonio special says: Homer
tlnley, who for the past six years has
been IN business in the City of Morlia,
Mexico, arrived to-day, and gave vivid
account of the famine riot in that city last
Sunday. Morlia is the capital of the State
OF Michoacan, and one of the most beauti-
ful cities inSouthern Mexico. But several
thousand people are on the verge of
starvation, owing to the failure of crops
ana the scarcity of other food supplies.
When famine was threatened several
months ago several wealthy merchants Of
Morlia contracted for large quantities of
corn in the United States, enough to sup
ply the suffering people. Spectators put
up the prices, and extorted what little
money the poor people had in short
time.
For the past two months the suffering
has been intense, and many deaths oc-
CURED. The streets became thronged
with beggars, and men, women and chill
dren made heart-rendlng appeals for help.
This was kept up until last Sunday, when
the starving horde organized themselves
into mob, and, driven by desperation,
began concerted attack upon the food
stores of the city. Fully 5000 people
were IN the mob, and the police were Ut
terly powerless to stop it. Two regi-
ments of Federal cavalry and one of in
fantry, stationed at Morlia, were called
out to quell the riot. But this only ad-
ded TO the desperation of the starving peo-
pie. The soldiers opened fire, and one
man was killed and several wounded.
The mob looted the granaries and then
dispersed.
Finley looks for q repetition of the
trouble.

Rallroading In Palestine

Railway schemes are making rapid
progress in Palestine since the Jaffa-
Jerusalem Railway and the commence
ment of the more important line from
Haifa to Damascus. This line, which
starts from the old fortress of Acre, pass
ing to the north of Carmel, across the
plain OF Esdrelon, with station at
Nazareth. will cross the Jordan near
Bethshan. Then, following the slopes of
the Jaulan plateau, it will proceed by an
easy gradient via Sell Nawa and kesweh
to Damascus. Its value to the trade of
North Palestine and Damascus will be
immense, while it will prove a serious
rival for carrying purposes to the French
Damascus Road Company of Beirut,
which has hitherto enjoyed monopoly
of the Damascus trade.
The connection by rail with Jaffa is
having much effect on Jerusalem. Villas
for Jews and Christians are springing mp
all along the Jafla road, and large hotel
has been built and opened near the
Armenian Convent. Thesstationiis to be
opened close to the German colony on tho
Bethlehem road. With the opening up
of communication, trade has revived,
and, as there is at present a boom" in
land and houses. the quarrymen have
come out on strike and are at present
carrying on negotiations with the build
ers. Their labor has gone up 80 per cent.
and skilled labor is expected to rise even
higher.-Philadelph Ledger.

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.
The improvements Likely to be Mad
in the Near Future.


When Mr.. Edison invented his beautiful
IncandeScent lamp, so many considera-
tons entered into the problem that his
5000 theories and his not less numerous
experiments need not be wondered at
1t is now a fact within common knowl-
edge that Mr.. Edison, and nearly all the
other inventors in this field, came down
to basis of about ITO volts as the stand
ard of potential at which the lamps were
to be burned. 1t cannot be said that the
marvellous developments OF the past ten
years in current generation and distribu-
ton have done much to vary the stand
ard thus fixed upon. But it should not
be supposed for moment that invention
has ceased on this subject and at this
point On the contrary, great deal has
been done, as the economy in copper with
a higher voltage lamp is obvious to every
electrical engineer. The next step is
about TO be taken. and it will give us a
lamp of not less than eco volts 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Edison is ready with
such lamp, fully as simple and efficient
as that with which his name is now uni
versally associated.
In the meantime one or two other man
ufacturers have been quick to move in
the same direction, and a European 300
volt lamp has recently been illustrated in
the technical journals, based upon the
simple idea of frightening the filament.
But, OF course, the greater length of the
filament, fragile at best, renders it much
more liable to breakage. Its increasing
fexlbility allows it to bend about and
touch the inclosing glass bulb. when the
lamp very soon ceases to be. To remedy
this defect or trouble, the long filament is
eithsr held by little restraining hook
placed in the cap of the lamp, or by a
couple of hooks near the nipple of the
bulb. A lamp of this kind gave 81 C. %.

Mystery Surrounding the Death of n

dian Pacific official here, was found dead
in the kitchen of her parents residence
this morning. The body lay in pool of
blood with a buIlet-hole through her
breast and her brothers gun lying near
by. The circumstances are so sensa-
tional and mysterious as to completely
battle the police. The theory of suicide
was first accepted by the police. The
statements of a neighbor that at o'clock

Odell residence and run down the street
lead to the suppOsition of murder.
