pillar of stone which held up the iron

RENDEZVOUS.
Twenty-Seven Vessels to Leave Hamp-
ton Roads.
Great Crowds Of Visitors at Fort Monroe
Sunday Admiral Gberardi Feels tho
X esronsibility Which Rest Upon
Him as Comma n der-i

Fort MONROE, Va. April 24.-Twenty-
seven ships of war will sail from here at9
o'clock Monday for New York. At that
hour the tide running out to sea will
have swung the massive hulls, and the
sharp prows will be pointed toward the
ocean. This is a matter OF no small I'M
portance, as an attempt to turn
all the ships at once would be
a most dangerous experiment. There
was no rest for Admiral Gherardi
Sunday. Signal flags were running
up and down from the yards
from the Philadelphia, and red messen-
gers went hurried in plunging
launches from ship to ship, and the
typewriter in the admirals office went
at a pace almost as rapid as the life
which the bellies and their beaux have
been living at the Hygeia. There is no
question but that the admiral feels the
responsibility which rests upon him az
commander-in-chief of the squadron.
Several times Sunday he was upon
the bridge of the Philadelphia,
viewing with anxious eyes the gath
ering clouds, and wondering II
the gale would abate. Everybody
here is naturally hoping that the
weather in New York will be fair; but
| the seasoned old salts, who know all
about the weather, shook their heads
obviously Sunday The wind has been
blowing from the northeast, and is
bleak and cold. 1t whistled Sunday
morning most ominously through the
rigging of the Chicago, and stitfened
the signal flags on the Philadelphia
into a semblance of frozen bunting.
The sea ran heavy, great waves break
ing against the sides of the vessels, and
threatening with destruction the little
launches in which venturesome excur-
sionists put off from shore.
The forbidding weather was unfortu-
nate for the the crowds, who, with the
earliest morning boats, began to swell
the already too numerous colony here.
The steamers from Washington, Nor
folk and Baltimore were loaded with
passengers; the incoming trains bore
their quota of sightseers, and every
craft in Norfolk harbor seemed to have
been utilized to carry people who
wanted to get final look at the men
of war

Two Doomed Murderers Throw pepper In
the Eyes of the Guards and Disarm
Them.
sing SING, N. Y, April 22.-Murder-
Prs Thomas Pallister and Frank w.
kohle, both under sentence of death,
have escaped from the condemned cells
Of Sing Sing prison. The discovery
was made at $40 o'clock Friday morn
ing. When Guard Glynn entered the
condemned cell building as usual at
that hour, he was astonished at discov-
ing two night watchmen locked in the
murderers' cells. When the guards
were released they told a strange story
Guard Hulse said that at o'clock he
passed supper in to Pallister, when sud-
denly the condemned man threw
handful of pepper into the guards
eyes.
Hulse was blinded and Pallister
rushed on him, took the revolver away
from the guard, and under threats of
death forced Hulse into his Pallister's)
cell, after first taking the keys away
from him. He then locked IIulse in the
cell, and next unlocked the cell of the
murderer, Frank Rohle. The two mur-
derers then unlocked the cells of Car
lyle w. Harris and Murderer Osmond.
They invited these two to escape with
them. Both Harris and Osmond re-
fused the offer to escape.
Pallister and Rohle waited until 9
o'clock, when Guard Murphy came on
duty. As Murphy entered the corridor
Pallister presented his pistol at Muir
phys head, and taking his keys also
away from him. locked him in Rohle's
cell. Then Pallister took Guard Hulse's
shoes and cap and put them on himself,
threatening to kill the guards if they
made any outcry. The two murderers
climbed to the top OF the cells and
knocked off the scuttle OF the roof,
In this way they got onto the roof,
climbed into the yard and made their
escape, whether by river or over the
walls was not known Friday morning
The terribly stormy night, of course,
facilitated their escape.
New York, April 90 -Penitentiary
Guards Hulse and Murphy have been
suspended, also Officers of the Guard
Glynn and Maher Glynn and Maher
are supposed to make the rounds of
"murderers' row. and all the shops.
In connection with the escape OF the
two condemned murderers, Rohle and
Pallister it leaked out Friday morn
ing that brother of Rohle arrived
in this city about ten days ago from
Germany with 81, 600 which Rohle had
inherited.

NEW "WHlTE HOUSE,"
Cleveland Considering the Ques-

Quarters

President Cleveland Considering the Ques-
tion of Moving His Office Into Other
Quarters.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-lt is said
that the president is seriously consider
ing the question of moving his Office
Ifor the transaction of executive busi-
mess from the white house to suitable
quarters in the state, war and navy
building
u 1t is proposed that the suite OF rooms
on the second floor of the war depart
ment, in the north wing of the build
ing, formerly occupied by the
secretary of war, shall be con-
sverted into business Office for the
Bpresident. They are handsomely deco
Arated, admirably adapted for the pur-
pose. and the only objection is their
northern exposure. There is large
ante room, general reception room, or
business office, and also an adjoining
room for private consultation. The latter
would afford the president and some of
MS callers an opportunity for few
'fwords of confidential conversation, .
rivilege not enjoyed under the present
arrangements at the white house.
There are said to be precedents for
such course, and the case of Andrew
johnson, shortly after the death OF
Abraham Lincoln is the most recent
citation. Mr.. johnson, instead OF tax
ing possession of the official apartments
of the executive mansion and transact
ing his business there, established q
private oAice in the western wing OF the
treasurydepartment in the rooms now
occupiedby the controller OF the curren
CIV or tn. director of the mint. There
he received his business callers ant
transacted the bulk of his executive

Lost on the Lakes,

CHICAGO, April 25.--Last weeks gales
caused heavier losses to mariners than
have ever been known on the lakes,
The boats about which there was some
anxiety have now been heard from, and
the full number of wrecks is probably
known. The computed loss in money
in the aggregate is $3.50, 600 and there is
an insurance of S325, 200. To the loss
of life already recorded must now be
added the nine members of the crew
of the schooner Newell Eddy.

FoRr MONROE. Va, April 25.-At a
few minutes after $ o'clock Monday
morning a small cloud of light smoke
floated out above the big yellow for
ward funnel of the Philadelphia. At
the same time from the tunnels of the
thirty-one other men-of-war in the
roads came other little puffs of smoke.
Gradually they grew in volume until by
8 o'clock the whole fleet was putting
forth like the chimneys of some manu-
featuring town.
Sunday night at sunset the Brazilian
fleet, consisting of the cruisers Aquidi-

what his position in the formation was
to be and only awaited the order to
trip anchor.
At 9:15 o'clock the Philadelphia s
anchor came slowly out of the water,
and. at the same time. a slight aglta-
ton of the water at the stern showed
that she was in motion.
The tide at this time was at its young
ebb. and the ships of the feet lay with
their noses turned up the road pointing
toward Newport News
The Philadelphia moved up slowly at
first. and then gathering speed passed
more quickly down toward the westerly
end of the roads. In another moment the
