Frightfu1 Loss of Life in the Sinking
of = Haytian Gunboat.

Va AhssS sA"A "uhoOuts
The Alexander Potion. one OF the new
gunboats Of the Haytian navy. foundered
| on September s. near Cape Tiburon, and
only one Of her crew survived to tell the
story. The news Of the loss of the war
vessel was brought to New York yesterday
by passengers on the Dutch steamer Prinz
Willem First. which arrived from Port au
Prince.
The Alexander Potion was the last of the
gunboats constructed for the Haytian navy.
She was built in Havre for the government
of Hayti only a few months ago. and left
Port au Prince on September 4 bound for
the city of San Domingo.
She had on board passengers Gen.
Molina, special Dominican plenipoten tiary
| to Hayti. NJ. de Jean. consul to San Do
mingo. and MI Cohen. formerly Haytian
minister to Mexico. The party was going
| to San Domingo to arrange the final terms
OF an agreement between Hayti and San
Domingo.
Only One Saved.
The Alexander Potion carried ninety sail
ors. marines and officers besides the diplo-
| matte party.
She foundered on September 6. at O'Clock
| in the morning. near Cape Tiburon. Why
1t was that she sank nobody knows Her
sole survivor. a colored sailor, was picked
up few miles from Porto Piminto on Sep
TENDER 8. He was upon a heavy plank,
and was padding with a pair of oars
He was an ignorant man and could not
give an Ineligible account Of how the acct
dent took place.
The negro said 1t was in the early morn
ing. The gunboat began to go down bow
first. A few jumped and kept up until they
were too exhausted to struggle longer.
The survivor found the plank and two
oars near the vessel. He ioated about for
day and half. when he was picked up
by small sailing vessel.
The news of the loss of the Alexander
Potion cast gloom over the town of Port
AL Prince. Many Of the gunboat's officers
and crew had families in the town. The
citizens Of Port Prince are in the hope
that others Of the crew may have escaped
There are no reefs and shoals In the neigh
borhood where the vessel foundered, &C
Of the usual channel Of navigation.
Gen. Molina was a gallant soldier and
popular in Port au Prince. Shortly before
his departure on the Inflated gunboat a
dinner was given in his honor by United
States Minister Durham.
ION that OCCASION" said Mr.. Durham
yesterday. the general spoke in an exceed
ingly pathetic manner. He has lust been
complimented on account Of his many DIS
tinguished services to his country
1t Is true he said. that / have fought
and suffered much for my native land but
! have really lived for my family and for
those depending upon me. In all these
years my constant thought has been OF
them and what would befaI them should
be taken from them"

The average Capitol visitor soon tires OF
the gallery. They come imbued with the
Idea that the debates are always at fever

congressional proceedings soon drives them
from the gallery. Lady visitors arc fond of
carrying opera glasses with them into the
galleries. and with these they seek out the
younger and handsomer Senators and Rep

we take. Lo, | see the path of life
as it lies before us, and | see the
multitudes of human beings going
uponit.
From the arms of the cradle they
go out upon the roadway, to toll
and struggle, to fail, to stumble
and fall Ger the many obstacles
and dangers that lie in the way.
The road Of life itself, leads straight
and true before them, it's course
leading ever onward and upward.
But it's surface is sometimes hard
and uneven, and filled with stones.
and broken off by high hills and
toilsome Sleeps, while off to the side
there seem to be many pleasant by
ways and luxurious meadows,
where the softest grass and the
most beautiful flowers tempt to
stray and to rest. And see there
are many who yield to the allure
ments of flowers and meadow, and
stray from the straight path of life.
When first they enter the green
meadows, and pass among the
bright flowers, all seems so beauti-
full, so easy, so pleasant and delight
full, that they look back to laugh
at those who are still toiling and
struggling on the stony and rug
ged roadway. But as they go
further the laughter changes to
alarm, for in truth those pleasant
meadows are soft, so soft that the
feet sink in them, and they grow
softer as the further they advance,
till those who are therein find them
selves sinking into quick-sands,
whose treacherous bottom yields
to the pressure Of the feet. The
unhappy victims struggle, only to
find their struggles sink them still
more deeply.
But 10, / see one come to their
aid, a being of majectic stature.
and benign and serene countenance.
With the ease of invincible strength
he takes each struggling victim out
Of the sinking marsh and the treach-
erous quick-sands, and places him
upon the firm surface of the straight
roadway.
He speaks in earnest, solemn, yet
kindly tones, allays the fright en-
courages and cheers, and with
words of wise and earnest counsel,
turns their faces toward the goal
Of human endeavor, and then bids

heavens, the work of Thy fingers,
the moon and the stars which thou
hast established, Il wonder what
is man that Thou should st remem-
Der him, and the son of man that
Thou should'st be mindful of him ?"
And this thought of the psalmist
comes home to us tonight, as we
are gathered here. Not only are
we rendered earnest and thought
full by the hour of the night, but
there comes to us another, pro-
founder and more saddening
thought. Not only do we reflect
on our own weak insignifcance and
inhntesimal being, compared to the
grandeur and majesty of the visi-
bic armament, but we are likewise
overcome with the thought Of our
sins and our errors, as we are
standingin the presence of our God.
Glorious, supreme, all beautiful and
majestic is the heavenly expanse
above our heads and compared to
it's magnifcence, we are but worms
in the dust. Deeper still does our
humility go, when we seek to hold
up the tear-stained, sin-sullied page
Of our life. by the side Of the immac-
ulate spotlessness of our divine pos
sibilities. Yet as we humbly bow
our heads, and veil our eyes in
tears, and turn our hearts in rever-
ent faith, as we open our ears to
hear the celestial chime of the Mas
ter's bell, the message that steals
DER the silence-laden air, is not one
Of harshness, or of stern, forbidding
condemnation, but softly and
sweetly, like the music that only
can from heaven come, is borne the
message of a merciful God, a loving
and forgiving Father. u do not
desire the death of the wicked, but
that he shall turn from his wicked
ness and live. Return. Return,
Why will you die, oh house OF Is

This tender message of Gods in
finite grace is intoned for us to-
night in the solemn melody of our
faith. Let us heed it's warning.
My friends, we are all moving on
the pathway of life. Some walk
more firmly and lightly, some are
burdened with weights and imped-
iments. The pathway is at times

Tuesday Evening.
BY my life, saith the Eternal God,
do not desire the death of the wicked,
but that he should forsake his evil ways
and live: return, return, oh We wicked,
and why will We die, oh hou sc OF Is
rael?-E Ezekiel xxxiii, IL.
Ny FRIENDS:
AS we are gathered here in our
house of prayer on this sacred
atonement eve, our hearts are
touched by the deep solemnity of
the hour. We have put aside the
cares and interests of our material
life, and we are assembled in hum
bic reverence at the throne of our
God. to hear the message which the
great day brings to us. There
comes to me now the fragment of a
poem that's fits so we'll to this mo-
ment, for
ct tells how at twilight in Heaven,
great bell gently swings,
And If we but pause and listen
We can hear the message it brings.
If we put from our hearts inmost cham
Der,
All the sin and sorrow and strife,
All the envy and heartache and longing,
That hinder the wheels of life;
If we thrust from our hearts all anger,
All yearning for wicked things,
We can hear in the purple twilight,
How the bell OF the Eternal rings
ruth KAHN.
The conditions to hear this mes
sage rung from the chimes Of
heaven, are especially with us to-
night. We are now at the twilight
hour, it has scarce faded into night.
The tinted clouds Of the golden
West have not yet forgotten the
parting kiss of the sun; and the
onceming night hovers on the edge
Of the sky, with only its first few
starry candles family lit. The hui
man being feels more keenly at
night his weakness and depend
ence. Light is life, and the great
orb of dayis the life Of the universe,
in that its kindly rays give light,
heat, strength and courage to all
things. When he sinks to rest and
hides his face from the world, all
life sinks to rest with him; when
the pail of night is spread, it is
spread DER hushed and silenced
universe. The stars look down
on men and animals, sunk in
slumber; and the silver radiance
of the moon shimmers upon
subdued and somnolent nature.
Midst this silence faith is born
