The following article is from the
Melbourne Argus of late date. 1t
refers to the Beagle owners, Bell
and Davis, alias Douglas and
Bloom. 1t will be found interest
ing even if some portions are not
exactly true:
"The prudence and forethought
occasionally exhibited by persons
connected with public companies
who mediate making use of their
position in order to effect coup
have been we'll illustrated in the
recent financial crisis in Melbourne,
but for successful audacity in this
direction the palm must be award
ed to operators on the Sydney side.
1t has come to light that Messrs.
Bell and Davis, who, in the begin
ming of the present year, levied re-
QUESTIONS to the extent of 100000
upon the Australian Loan q Mer-
camille Company in Sydney, made
Melbourne their port of embarka-
ton when they cleared out on July
16 with subtle irony for "Guam"
or "ports unknown" taking with
them the advances which they
had obtained from the company.
Four days before the date Of sail
ing a warrant was issued for their
arrest, but Davis had anticipated
the inevitable by nearly two
months, and it would have been
difficult to recognize Mr.. Samuel
Davis, the eminently respectable
business man of Sydney, in the
bearded adventurer John Bloom,
who sailed down the bay on board
his schooner the Beagle, bound for
trading expedition to the South
Sea Islands. The Beagle was
staunchly-built craft of 80 tons, be-
longing to the well-known firm of
Messrs. w. Duthie 4 Co., of Market
street, who sold her to Davis under
the impression that she was to be
turned into a carrier of copra and
cocoanuts and other island produce.
"When the Beagle had been we'll
supplied with stores for the voyage
and had taken on board Davis and
Bell and young man whose iden-
tity had lot been up to the present
been ascertained, she was cleared
by the Customs and towed out

From Loon Lake.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 20.-Tho
President and Mrs. Harrison left Loon
Lake ior Washington to-day. Mrs.
Harrison is improved in health and the
doctors decided that her condition
would warrant her departure. The en-
tire trip will be made by special train.
The route selected was by way of
Malone, Plattsburg, Albany, Jersey
City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
party consisted OF the following named
persons:
The President and Mrs. Harrison,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. R. Mckee, Mr.. Russell

and Mrs. Parker; Private Secretary Hal
ford, DR.. Gardner, Miss Marie Kempe,

Presidents valet, Charlie, and Mrs.
Harrison's maid, Josephine.
The special train made very pleas
ant run to Malone, which was reached
in fifty minutes from the timeof leaving
Loon Lake. This served 10 test how
Mrs. Harrison could stand the Journey.
The effect was very satisfactory TO the
doctor as she fully maintained her
strength. Albany was reached at S;55
o'clock, the condition OF Mrs. Harrison
promising good night. 1t is expected
TO reach Jersey City at 2 a. IN. and

Special DiSpatch 10 Ge M,tpigaleer.
GRAFToH, w. VA, Sept. 20.-The
vicinity OF Grafton was to-day thosceno
OF two railroad accidents, both Of which
involved passenger trains. The first
occurred ut Thornton station, four
miles east Of here, and brought the
Chicago east-bound express, train No.
6, to decidedly abrupt and sudden
stop while going at the rate OF about
twenty miles an hour. The accident
was caused by the tender truck jump
ing the track, which carried the postal
car, baggage car and three coaches with
it, dragging them about 200 feet and
throwing them up against the embank-
ment on the right, which fortunately
happened to be in close proximity TO
the track, atfordinG an offset that
stopped the cars aud prevented them
from turning over. The sleeper and
parlor car did not leave the track. No
one on the train was injured in the
least, and but temporary and slight
damage was done to the three coaches.
The accident delayed the train about
four hours.
The second mishap overlook passen-
ger train No. 6O4, cast bound from Gin
cinnati, and occurred IN the West
Grafton yard beyond the bridge. The
train was entering the town when the
engine struck the rear end OF q stock
train filed with hogs, partially demol-
ishing two OF the stock cars and dam
aging the engine. In this instance
there was no one hurt, as in the other,
and the extent of tho damage effected
only the two stock cars named and the
engine to train No. G04. The passenger
coaches suffered only a slight rebound
from the force OF the collision, and were
not damaged at all. The passenger train
was delayed about an hour in conse-
quCncc OF the accident.

NATION, Ills, Sept. 2O.-Hon Will.
lam NJ. Springer spoke here to-day to a
large audience. 1t was big day for
Mattoon, and the town was filled with
visitors from outside points. Early in
the day farmers began to arrive in their
wagons, and excursion trains IRON tho
adjacent towns were numerous through
out the morning and early afternoon.
Mr.. Springer devoted his attention
chiefly to the espeech delivered last week
at Elwood, Ind, by Governor Mckinley.
He discussed the sayings OF the Repub-
llcan leader at considerable length, and
his drives at the practical workings of
the high protective tariff were met with
much applause.

SCRANTON. Pa, Sept. 2O.-Chauncey
T. Black called the State Society OF DEM
ocratic Clubs to order in the Academy
Of Music at 1880 o'clock this morning.
About six hundred people were on the
floor when the meeting was called to
order. The presidents opening address
was an eloquent effort. At its conclu-
sion Hon. Fred Hunsler made an ad-
dress OF welcome. Hon. Lemuel Amer
man was elected temporary chairman.
The manner of selecting tho eleven
delegates-at-large to the New York COIL
vention next month caused big fight,
during which pandemonium broke
loose. The matter finally went to the
committee on resolutions. The fear Of
the convention was that committee
demanded by some would select ma
iority from Philadelphia. The conven-
.tion adjourned for dinner after the COM
mittee on resolutions, permanent or
ganization and credentials had been ap-
pointed.

ceived. A daughter Of the regiment
walked in the front line Of the Qhioans.
This young buckeye girl was bright and
attractive in appearance and was we'll
worth looking at twice in her dark blue
frock trimmed with gold lace. She
walked erect and carried canteen.
There were nearly 5000 OF their num-
Der in line.
The empire state posts followed close
upon the Ohio veterans, and intwo car
riages at their head rode Generals
Sickles, Slocum and Rosecrans. New
York had many battle flags in her pro-
cession and one collection Of about 500
carried in body was everywhere greet
ed with applause. 1t took New York
just one hour to pass.
And so the procession continued clear
until evening. Department after de-
partment, post after post, hardy men
and men on crutches, bands, drum
corps, stained and ragged battle ilags,
cheers, the clapping Of hands, the wav--
ing OF handkerchieis, the swelling OF
bosoms, the outfowing ot eyes that
would become moist, the twitching OF
lips that refused to be still, and the
growth OF that spirit which would i'm
pei the meanest mortal TO defend the
stripes from the assaults OF any or NIL
nations on the iacs OF the oarth-th
greatest day in the history OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic.
FIFTY THOUSAND MEN IL LINE.
At 6!05 p. m. the last veteran had
passed by and the grand parade OF the
26th annual encampment OF the G. A.
R. was over, and was ready to be writ
ten an unqualified success in the pages
OF G. A. K. history. In every way it
had equalled the expectations OF its
projectors. More men were in line
than at any other Grand Army parade.
An estimate close on to $4,000 men
would not be far from the mark. The
appearance of the men was highly cred
table to the organization. The crowd
which witnessed the parade was very
large and the steadiness OF its attention
showed that Us long US the parade was,
it was full OF interest. Tho bands aided
in keeping up this interest. BY actual
count there were more than $50 OF
them, not counting the numerous in
stances where post was led by a
drummer, or by two or three OF their
comrades playing flies and drums. The
weather, though at times cloudy, was
free from rain, pleasant and just warm
enough for comfort-in fact typical
overcast September day.

Teats of Carrier Pigeons.

There are remarkable instances on
record of what pigeons have done. A
French bird captured near Paris was
taken to Berlin, 500 miles away, and
kept there for four years. 1t escaped
somehow, and at once made straight
line for home, safely reaching the loft in
Paris where it had been reared. Colonel
Cameron relates that he purchased IN
Toronto two birds that had never flown
eastward of that place. From Toronto
they were taken to Kingston, $50 miles
due east, and there kept for some time.
They were then sent to Sharbot lake,
nearly fifty miles north of Kingston, to
be flown. Instead of returning to King
ston they went westward $50 miles di-
rect to their old loft at Toronto.
AS they had been, in the case of both
moves, conveyed in a closed basket, they
had no chance of seeing the intervening
country, SO that sight evidently had
nothing to do with their return There
are numberless instances Of birds in
training making their way swiftly and
safely back over 100, 200 and even $50
miles of utterly unknown territory
