A sHlPLoAp oE SCORPIONS.
Uncomfortable Experience of the Crew oi
avesseI with a Cargo Of Bones.

Uncomfortable Experience of the Crew Of
Vessel with a Cargo Of Bones
The schooner Wallace J. Boyd, Cap
tain Godfrey, arrived here early yesterday
morning from Montevideo with cargo
Of bones, which were gathered from the
plains of that locality, and the voyage
will long be remembered by Captain
Godfrey and his wiSe as well as by al
the sailors. The ship became infested
with scorpions, which arose from the
cargo and penetrated every available
quarter Of the ship. The seamen's rest
was disturbed, and for weeks at a time
the unfortunate men dared not rest
| themselves in their hunks for fear Of be
ing stung by one of the creatures.
Every effort to rid the ship of the
plague was unsuccessful, and even or
Monday night, while lying at the upper
quarantine, the decks and cabins were
alive with these creeping insects. Gil
matte changes had no effect whatever on
them, and those of the crew who enter
tanned the belief that they would disap-
pear as the northern latitudes were
reached were disappointed.
Captain Godfrey is at loss to know
how they found their way out from be-
meath the matches, which on board yes
sells are regarded as even alright, yet
they arose in thousands and made life
horrible on board the ship. Five and
six times day all hands were forced to
change their clothing. When the vessel
reached her pier yesterday, the sailors at
once left, and nothing could ever induce
any Of them to again ship on bone
laden vessel.
Captain Godfrey said yesterday that
they sailed from Montevideo Aug. II,
and up to the 9th of September no YER
min appeared. The day in question was
very warm and the atmosphere was
heavy and damp. About noon around
the main hatch large green bugs were
seen coming up from inside the comb
ings, and toward evening the ships decks
were alive. The next morning they
found their way down into the forecastle
and drove all the sailors out. The same
night the after cabin was invaded. Since
that time this unfortunate condition of
affairs has existed, and the bugs were
bA4AOnA OFNA OOoAo Ny DuChClIuA CN-
cry day since. When the wind was blow
ing fresh the air was full of the unwel-
come visitors, and in calms they lay
torpid ON the decks. The bedclothing,
tablecloths, and even wearing apparel
became full of the insects, but fortunate
ly none of the crew was bitten by any
poisonous insect.
Captain Godfrey says that the bones
which he has on board were principally
brought from the extreme upper regions
of the river Plata in lighters. They
were gathered from the plains, where
they had probably been for ages. Many
whole skeletons of horses, sheep and oxen
are among the collection, all of which
will be ground up at this port. While
lying on the plains they no doubt be-
came infested with these bugs, and the
extreme heat of the vessels hold drove
them up on the deck.-Philadelph
Press.

DISSOLVE THE INJUNCTION.

The courts should promptly dissolve
the street improvement injunction and
not keep the money locked up any
longer. After the second decision Ol
the supreme court that the abutting
property owners must pay for the street
improvements made in Salem the past
two years there is no further excuse for
delay. OF course the lawyers on both
sides will be perfectly willing to fight
the battle all over again in the circuit
and supreme court. II will cost the
city and property owners hundreds if
not thousands of dollars to take testi-
mony and the end will be the same.
The supreme court cannot reverse itself
In the same case where all the law and
the facts are declared by them to be 10
favor of the city. The best evidence
that the work wss well done, and ought
to be paid for as good improvement,
is the fact that Chemeketa street Is the
most used Of any street IN the city in
spite of an electric Car track through
the middle of it. Judge Burnett's
court 10 In session and a motion to dis.
solve the injunction will probably be
made at once.

tFrom the FostorIa paIIy TImes.l

(Fom the FoetorlA DaIy Ilmes.)
The article in yesterdays Times setting
forth the prospects of an extension from
Napoleon to Kunkle to join the two Wabash
roads, has occasioned not little discussion
in commercial circles of the city. Mayor
Bradner informed the Times this morning
that the Pennsy lvania is the promoter of
the project, and he has been acting solicitor
of the company since September %. The
mayor has the documents by which the road
will establish their proprietorship of the old
Mansfield, Coldwater d Lake Michigan rail-
road bed. The Pennsylvania company Sc
cured possession of the road through a
mortgage in 1876. The mayor expressed the
opinion that arrangements were being per-
fected to connect from Tifin to Coldwuter.
The company have had their engineers sub
NIT estimates of the expenditure required
for bridges, etc. The fact that the company
have been active in this direction for nearly
a month, proves conclusively that Fostoria
will shortly possess another railway feeder.
We are not in position to say at present
whether the company have let contracts for
the work, but it IS known that tenders have
been received and contractors are awaiting
orders to begin operations.

A Narrow Escape.
Oct. 21sb '93,

The Hotel Hamilton of Toledo had mar.
row escape from fire last week Thursday
Some narrow escapes of guests were report
ed, but none more hazardous than that Of
the Hon. Henry BOIL, who Is so we'll known
in this community. We give his experience
as it was reported by the daily Ne,os:
Hon. Henry BOIL of Marietta, occupied
room "a, which is in the rear of the building
He attempted to make his escape through
the front door of his room but the smoke
drove him back, and he was compelled to gel
out by the rear window. The fire escape il
about three or four feet beyond the real
window of the room he occupied, but by 9
plucky leap he made 1t in safety. He saved
all his property excepting valse which he
threw ont of the back window. 1t wa,
smashed to pieces. Mr.. Bohl was elected
chairman of the State Democratic central
and executive committees, at the Boody
House in 1887, and is now member of the
Democratic State executive committee. he
has also served six years in the state legisla.
ture. He 10 now superintendent of agencies
in Ohio of the Mutual Benefit Insurance
company, and is in Toledo in the interest
of that company.
Mr.. BOIL was slightly injured about the
leg and his fingers were bruised up, but
otherwise he is none the worse for his dar-
ing leap.

Of the Women's Christian Temperance
congress, which closed its session Sat
urday night in the art institute, went
Summing. The seven women were
overcome by what they saw. To most
of them the haunts of vice were un-
known except through newspaper hints,
and the dreadful realities of the sin
smitten districts came upon them
with appalling force. They sought to
do missionary work among the fallen,
and besought charity from the wealthy
and notorious keepers of the resorts
visited. On quite a number they made
a good impression.
