telephone and telegraph wires, and in
many directions communication was en-
tirely cut off.
In the city several buildings were dam
aged, and the damage to wires and poles
will be heavy. Two vessels anchored of
the Sandy Hook station dragged their
anchors and collided, and both were seri-
ously damaged.
The big British tramp steamship Seani-

anchor this morning and collided with a
schooner. Both were badly damaged.

Burdensomc Marriage Tokens.

The Bayanzi, who live along the Upper
Congo, have a strange custom which
makes life burden TO the married women.
Brass rods are welded into great rings
around the neck OF the wives. Many OF
these rings worn by the women, whose
husbands are well-to-do, weigh as much
as thirty pounds, and this burden must
be carried by the poor creatures as Ions
as they live. Frequently one sees n poor
woman whose neck is CALLED by the heavy
weight and in places the skin is rubbed
of by the ring. This is sure sign that the
ring has been recently welded around the
neck. After n short time the skin be-
comes calloused and then the strange or
nament produces no abrasion. The weight
Is perpetual tax upon the energies. In
every crowd OF women may be seen
number who are supporting the ring with
their hands, and thus for time are re-
lieving their weary shoulders of the bur
den.
A ring is never put around a womsn's
neck until she Is believed TO have attained
her full physical development. Once on,
IL is no easy matter 10 get IL off. The ma
tives have no files, and although they can
hammer a lot OF brass rods into one IL !,
very difficult for them TO cut the thick
mass OF metal. Women who increase
largely i'm flesh after the rings have been
fastened on their necks are I'm danger OF
strangling 20 death, and instances of this
sort have occurred. The women, how
ever, regard the cumbrous ornament with
pride, imagine that il enhances their i'm
portance and beauty and wear their bur-
dens with light hearts. Brass il the
money of the country, and in putting IL
around their wives neoks the men are
certain that Il will not be stolen or fool
ishly expended. Boston Courier.

The one topic of conversation in sport

Maher-F -Fitzsimmons fight TO morrow
night.
Maher will enter the ring weighing from
$50 TO 1856 pounds, and when Fitzsimmons
pulls off his sweater he will tip the beam
at about 40 pounds. This is a big handi-
cap, but FitZsimmons has good pair OF
legs under him. and TO see him leading
the Irshman chace for an hour or more
and then turn to and do some execution,
would not be surprising.
