M. Lott Attacks lola.

PARIS, April S.-The reception at the
French Academy Of NJ. Pierre Lott, who
takes the place of the novelist Octave
Feuillet, has attracted great attention.
NJ. Lott is a lieutenant on a man-of-war.
but his professional duties ave not pre-
vented him from writing stories which
are full of sentiment and imagination.
During the eulogy Of his predecessor,
which, according to custom. he was called
upon to pronounce, M. Lott. vigorously
attacked the realism of lola and the
psychological theories Of Bourget, which
means that his onslaught was directed
against two writers who hold a high
place in the affection of the youth of
France. His words will certainly raise
terrible discussions in society, in the
press.

A Clever Idea in Time Tables.

The Common Sense time table recently
issued by the burlington Route is the
latest idea in this connection, and furnishes
more concise information for less time spent
in research than anything yet produced.
The peculiar alignment perfected be-
tween stations on the map, and the same
stations in the time tables either side of the
map, is such that traveller at glance can
note time of arrival and departure, distance
stops, restaurants, meals and connections
There are no foot notes or reference marks
to distract the attention. No questions
need be asked by the holder of this table,
the arrangement being exceedingly novel
and clear. The table is the invention of

the Burlington Company.

WASHED UP BY WAVES.

Bones OF Men Buried Half . Century Ago
Uncovered by Unusual Tides Much
Speculation as to the Identification of
the Remains Thus Discovered.
NEW YORK, March 1S.-[ Special THE
unusual tides accompanying the storm of
two weeks ago, made inroads into the
beaches upon both sides of Sandy Hook, and
disturbed sand dunes, which for many years
had been covered with salt grass. Since
then the high northeast winds have lifted
the loosened sand by the ton from some of
these dunes and swept it southwark in
dense showers, which pricked the faces of
the beach patrols like needles.
Near Spermaceti Cove, about five miles
below the point of the Hook, and on the in
side of it, the wind laid bare some human
bones. When Captain Jack Edwards, of
the Spermaceti Cove life-saving station,
which is on the ocean front, heard of it, he
sent men with shovels to cover up the re-
mains. They did so, but the next high wind
uncovered them. Altogether, the bones of
about six persons have been laid bare. At
first it was thought they were the remains
of British and Continental soldiers who
perished during the Revolution. Then the
story went abroad that the dead of the hos
pltal SHIPS were once Durleo tnere, Dut the
hospital ship burying ground is and has for
century been further south in the bend of
the Horseshoe.
Tradition has it that many years ago
perhaps 80 or 60-there was a burying
ground at Spermaceti Cove for mariners
wrecked on the shore of Sandy Hook. This
burying ground, according to tradition, was
on the west side of the narrow sandy prom
ontory alongside of the quiet waters Of the
Horseshoe, and several hundred persons, it
is said, were buried there. It is more than
probable that the waves and winds have in
this lapse of time encroached upon this
sandy cemetery.
Captain Edwards said to-day that he
meant to gather up the bones thus laid bare
and decently inter chem further inland.

In the Hands of Several Hundred Indignant
Colored Voters.
WILMINGToN, DEL, March 18-There
was lively row at the Office of Receiver
of Taxes John 7. Dickey late this after
noon. Several hundred voters, mostly
negroes, who had been waiting all afternoon
to pay their taxes, grew excited when Dep
uty Collector Finck closed his books at 4
o'clock and informed the multitude that he
would receive no more taxes until Monday.
The voters, mostly Republicans, claimed
that the collector was willtully refusing the
taxes rendered Eim. The charge was denied.
When Collector Finck attempted to with
draw, however, the frenzied voters armed
themselves with baseball bats, and, with
blood in their eyes, started in pursuit.
The police had to be called in to quell the
disturbance, but not until dozen blows
were exchanged and riot ensued. During
the riot ex-City Auditor Mitchell was
knocked down with baseball bat and seri-
ously injured. Several others were cut and
bruised. Several arrests were made.
