Capt. Ferguson should Be Heard.

Capt Ferguson should Re Heard.
The passengers Of the Cunard steamer
Umbria, which arrived safely at New York
Saturday morning give unstinted praise to
the captain and the engineer OF the steamer
for their conduct and skill during the time
the vessel was in peril IN midocean from
cracked shaft, and they condemn In unmeas-
ured terms Capt. Ferguson OF the steamer
Gollia, OF the same line, who, according &c
the present understanding, refused to stand
by" the disabled steamer until it was known
whether or not she would be able to reach
port without assistance.
The Gallia wes on her way from Boston
TO Liverpool when she met the disabled
Umbris- The captain Of the Umbria sig
nailed that bis ship was disabled and to
stand by" Capt. Ferguson, 1t is said,
signaled back that he vas carrying the
mails and could not stand by" He did
not even stop 10 find out the extent to which
the Umbria was disabled. He did not know
that the steamer was not in sinking con.
dition at the time he passed her.
It is hardly conceivable that steamship
captain would leave disabled steamer IN
midocean having on board hundreds Of peo-
for doing so. The fact that his ship carried
the mails was not such an excuse as justified
him IN doing what he Is charged with do
ing. There must have been some misunder-
standing on his part of the Umbrias sig
mails. Before passing Judgment upon his
conduct, therefore, his statement ought 20
be heard. Il will be found, in all probe
bility, that he understood that the Umbria
was able 10 take care of herself and did not
desire assistance.
Capt. Ferguson's story will soon be made
public. II it has not been already. He is uu-
derstood to be an experienced captain, and,
therefore, must have known what his duty
was when he found the Umbrie in disabled
condition. II it should be shown that he de.
llberately abandoned the Umbra and her
load of human freight, simply because he
was carrying the mails, or for any other
reason, the travelling public would be salts
fed with nothing less than his dis
missal. A ship commanded by him would
not be patronized. He would be Stunned
even by seagoinZ men. 1t is pretty safe to
conclude, therefore, that he misunderstood
the condition OF affairs on the Umbrla, and
went on his way confident that assistance
from him was neither needed nor desired.
The captain and chief engineer Of the UNI
bria deserve all the praise they are receiving
for bringing the Umbria safely into port.
The engineer displayed remarkable engineer
ing qualities in mending the disabled shaft in
the face Of such difficulties as he encoun-
tered, and the captains conduct leaves no
room for criticism or complaint,

Typhus Fever in New York.

The health authorities OF New YORK are
making extraordinary exertions to prevent
the spread Of typhus fever in that city. 1t
has secured a pretty strong foothold in
10-cent lodging house at No. "a Bayard
street. There have been about fifty cases
thus far. and they have all developed within
the last few days. The health authorities
are very much alarmed aud are sending the
patients to the hospital on North Brothers
Island. The house at No. "a Bayard street
has been quarantined. No one OF the fifty
two inmates are permitted to leave 1t. The
place is usually filed with tramp popula-
ton. There was an epidemic OF the disease
in the building about a year ago and some
OF the germs have fingered there. The
present outbreak is due doubtless to the cold
weather which has kept the unwashed in
mates crowded together in its foul and
badly ventilated rooms.
Typhus fever is very contagious and is
attended with great prostration and cerebral
disorder. 1t is difficult matter to get rid
Of it when it once gets fairly established in
the crowded tenement districts Of CITY.
Being 80 very contagious it is easily spread.
That is why the New York health au>
thorities are making such a vigorous fight
against it,

During the heat of the controversy be-
tween DR.. McGlynn and the Catholic
church, and after the priest had been ex-
communicated, two of his strongest sup
porters died. They had been devout be-
lovers in the Catholic faith, but inasmuch
as they had stood by the priest through
thick and thin, and attended his lectures
after the ban had been put upon him, their
bodies were denied burial in cousecrated
ground. DR.. MoGynn has been restored,
but the bodies OF his fnithful friends are
still in the unholy places they were put be-
cause Of their faith in their pastor 1t
McGlynn was nos wrong it is not possible
that bis adherents could have sinned against
the church by refusing to desert him. Stln,
nothing has been done toward restoring the
dead friends of the rehab!litated priest TO
good standing in the church and removing
their bones to "a hsllowed place.

''From this time 90 the veterans Of the
old armies will disappear rapidly" says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. "If the GROWERS
over pensions will be patient they will be
gratihed at the rapid reduction OF the list 4"
The chances are, indeed. favorable to q
reduction OF the list; but it will have to tie
done by legislation cutting of all unworthy
pensioners. IL the people should be forced
to carry the burden until the hand OF death
lighteued it by removing the pensioners,

While aunts and cousins entered in
