Excellence of American Horses.

Probably more and better horses are
owned in America per thousand of pop
ulation than in any other country, and
the farmer or corner groceryman at
least in the north and west, can and
does afford to keep as good a roadster
as the city nabob-often n better one.
While the average horse lacks the dis
tinctive characteristics of race, he has
exceptionally good qualities. Ameri-
can horses are, as rule, sure-footed.
There are more broken-kneed nags in
cabs and livery stables in England
fourfold than here. Smooth roads and
level meadows uniformly breed horses
less careful how they tread than rough
roads and stony pastures. The eastern
granite soil produces safer steppers
than the clay of the south. St Louis

liullet Waves.

One of the interesting results Of the
recent experiments in England in pho
tographing flying bullets has been to
show that the disturbance in the air
travels faster than the bullet itself.
The photographs exhibit air waves in
advance of the bullets, even when the
latter are moving faster than the veloc-
ity of sound. In one case where the
bullet was moving considerably faster
than sound travels in the air it was pre-
coded by an atmospheric disturbance
which the moment the photograph was
taken was half an inch in advance of
the bullet. Even when the bullets
were travelling four times as fast as
sound the atmospheric disturbance
kept ahead of them Com

SAND BEACH, Mich, Nov. s.-The
propeller Albany, Of the Western Tran
sit Co., loaded with grain, and the pro-
peller Philadelphia, Anchor line, laden
with coal and merchandise, collided off
Port aux Barques in dense fog, and
sunk in two hundred feet of water.
The captains of both boats with
twenty-one men got ashore at s o'clock.
The Philadelphia struck the Albany
head on forward of the two gang
ways. All hands got on the Philadel-
phia. She towed the Albany half an
hour when the Albany sank. The
Philadelphia went down thirty minutes
after. Both crews left in two boats,
but only one reached shore.

the whole crew of twenty-four men
are drowned, eight of the Albany's
crew and the balance of the Philadel-
phia's crew. The bodies were put on
the steamer Concord, bound south.
The harbor master at Sand Beach is
searching for the rest of the bodies
with the tug Sand Beach.
The Albany was bound from Chicago
to Buffalo with grain and general mer-
chandise, and the Philadelphia was
bound from Buffalo to Duluth with
coal and miscellaneous cargo. Both
were steel steamers. The Albany was
built in Detroit in 1884, was worth
$3.50, 600, and is believed to be partially
insured. The Philadelphia was built
by David Bell, at Buffalo in 1867, and
was valued at $4,000.

ON SUSPICION,
A Man Named Dias Arrested Because
He Had too Many Stamps.

A man named Dlas, now a resident
OF this city, but formerly Of Elizabeth
ton, was arrested IN this place yester-
day upon suspicion OF his being inn
phcatcd in some of the recent post
office robberies in the surrounding
section, particularly at Milhgan and
Piney Flats, The suspicious leading
up to the arrest was his trying to dis
pose Of n number Of stamps to the
postmaster here, for money. On be-
ing questioned at the time he claimed
to have found them up the "Narrow
Guage," but when arrested he asserted
that he had bought them at reduc-
ton, from two boys, then with him by
the names Of Symmetry and McKin-
ney, both OF Sullivan county. They
were consequently arrested also and
the three together taken to the record
er's Office where they were examined
by Postoflice Inspector E. O. Tate.
The boys plead innocent Of any VIOLA
ton of the law, one Of them affirming
upon his honor that he had procured
the stamps lrom his father who is a
postmaster in Sullivan, and disposed
Of them to Dias according to his lat.
ter statement. The matter was sus-
pended until the testimony of the boys

learn that postal regulations are not to
be tameered with and that postage
stamps are generally supposed to bring
face value.
