cisions announced was one in favor of the old
corporation of the Bank of Virginia, now rep
repented by w. b. Isaacs, W. G. Taylor and
John C. Williams, for $16,9S7 in gold. This
was part of $177,721 in gold captured at
the end of the war by the Union army on the
fall of Richmond, Va. The sum Of S146,02
belonged to the Confederate States and was
confscated, but the amount owned by the
Bank of Virginia is now, by the decision OF

A HINT TO BATHERs.-It is not easy
to convince the young men and the ir-
repressible boys who go bathing during
the heated term, that it is possible to
have too much of good thing. But
the numerous cases ofdeath by drown
ing and the seemingly unaccountable
way in which young people of the
sterner sex succumb to fever, longest
i've chills, inflammation of the bowels
and other allied complaints, ought to
awaken them and their parents to the
fact that great risk is involved in pro-
longed bath. 1t is very much safer for
lad to jump in while reeking with
perspiration and then sit for a few
moments under shower of spray from
miniature fall, than to remain in the
warmest pool or on the banks till a
chilly sensation is experienced. Ten
minutes immersion is long enough for
bath under any and all circumstances.
Anything beyond that can do no good
and may do untold harm.

The SINKING orlhe Victoria.

As stated in yesterdays GAZETTE,
while maneuvering in the Mediterra-
mean sea off Tripoli, Syria, the British
battleships Victoria and Camperdown
were in collision on Thursday evening.
The Victoria was sunk and 40 of her
crew drowned. There were us aboard.
The collision occurred at five O'Clock in
the afternoon about seven miles from
Tripoli. The vessels were almost at
right angles when the Victoria was
struck. They was an awful crash, and
the huge prov tore through the two
feet of iron and steel rs though it were
paper. The great ram nearly cut the
Victoria in halves. An effort was made
to close the watertight compartments.
This was done, but the Camperdown
had destroyed four of them and the
others were not sufficient to keep the
huge craft ahoat. She settled slowly,
and then, before the crew could cast
loose the small boats, the 110-ton guns
and high super structure caused her to
capsize, and turning suddenly she dis

whirlpool which carried down in lis
vortex all of the unfortunates who
were swimming within q hundred
yards.
Those on the Victoria's deck at the
moment of the collision scrambled away
and were rescued by boats of the Cam
perdown and several other vessels. The
sudden heeling of the Victoria caused
her to begin to fill Immediately and no
escape was possible. She went down
in eighty fathoms of water. 1t is said
that several times the Victoria had
shown signs of weakness in her steering
gear. One theory is that on account of
this weakness she became unmanage-
BILE and could not be got out of the
Camperdown's way. The Camperdown
was severely damaged forward in the
collision. Temporary repairs will be
made and she will start for home.

THE Clarke county Courier advises
the adoption of Mr.. McCormick's propo-
sition for new election of delegates to
the State democratic convention in the
Berryville district, and tells the DEM
ocrats there that they are doing them
selves harm as well as weakening their
party's strength and influence by con-
tinuing the strained relations that exist
in their ranks. This is wise advice, and
should be adopted without moments
hesitation. The State convention
should not lie bothered by contesting
delegations, and all such matters should
be settled before the convention meets.

white farmer living near here, gave
birth to a child whose black skin de-
noted its father was a negro. The girl
finally confessed that Dan Edwards, a
negro dwarf, was the father Of her
child, that about year ago he had as
saulted her, and since that time she
had been compelled to submit to him,
as Edwards threatened to poison the
whole family if she told. Thursday
night officers arrested Edwards and
were bringing him to Jail when they
were overpowered by mob, who took

LINCOLN, Neb., June 24.-The Cath
Ollie troubles in this diocese, which
seemed to have been recently allayed
by the agreement which Bishop Bona
cum was compelled by Mgr. Satolli to
sign at Omaha, were opened yesterday
by quarrel between Bishop Bonacum
and Father Lochran, vice rector ofSt.
Theresa Church. The priest refused to
write, at the bishops dictation, q letter
to Satolli on the bishops behalf, at
which Bonacum grew angry, ordered
the priest to leave the room and sent
him his exeat. Lochran is very popu-
ular here and his dismissal has created
excitement among Catholics here.

A WASHINGTON newspaper says the
southern people seemed to boil over a
great deal on the occasion of the recent
refinement of the remains of Jefferson
Davis" Oh, no The southern people
boiled over when Mr.. Davis was elect
ed their President, but they have not
even simmered since, nor unfortunately
for them, have they had any reason to
do so. They are blessed, but only be-
cause they have expected nothing, and
have therefore not been disappointed.
Manifesting respect for the remains OF
the only President their short lived but
heroic nation ever had certainly afford
ed no evidence of their boiling over"

IT Is now stated that the temperance
people will put ticket in the field IN
this State at the November election,
With such a ticket, and that of the pop
ulists', the latter supported by the solid
republican vote, it behooves the demo-
cratic party to make no mistake in Sc
lecting theirs. White domination will
not be affected by the result next
falls election, and when there is no
danger of negro rule the democratic
voters, as general thing, don't turn out
in full force. The democratic ticket
should, therefore, have on it the name
of no man who is at all Objectionable
to any considerable number of his party.

lean: "Come inside, a minute"
said a Fourth Avenue dealer In
pianos to a friend, Il have discov-
cred the greatest fly trap on earth,
and 1 want to show it to you" He
led the way to an instrument at
the rear of the store, on which was
a newspaper. On the paper had
been placed bunch of sweet peas.
At least a thousand dead flies were
living on the paper in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the bunch of flowers.

continued, sand in about ten min

every fly that alighted on the flow
ers died in a very short time"
Even as he spoke a number OF In

the deadly sweet had toppled over
dead. They alighted with their
usual buzz, stopped momentarily,
ouiyered in their legs, tapped their
wings weakly several times, and
then gave up the ghost. 1t any OF

Thurston's Plain Statement.

The Philadelphia Daily Press
saws editorially: The statement
made by Thurston, Minister from

most prejudiced that Queen Liliu-
okalani was not deposed with the

that Minister Stevens actions were
in strict accordance with interna-
tional law and diplomatic usage !;
that the revolution was not orig
mated, aided or abetted by him,
and that there was no plot or con-
spiracy with ramifications extend
ing to Washington. 1t shows that
Biount did not attempt to get at
both sides of the story, but con-
tented himself with interviewing
royalists and others favorable to
the continuance of the corrupt
government of the queen. The re-
port made by Cleveland's Minister

MASSES FALLING FROM The SKY.
Something About Mcteors and OF What
They Are Composed.

Something About Mcteors and Of What
They Are Composed.
An addition to our present knowl-
edge of meteorites has been presented
by Mr. r. Eastman, who furnishes
list Of iron aerolites, together with
a table OF their weights and remarks
as to the relative occurrences Of iron
and stony meteorites. According to
this gentleman the ratio Of weight of
the former to the latter is as | to
1928, and the aggregate weight of
aerolitic iron which has been observed
and discovered up to date on the
American continent is about 1853 tons.
If the above ratio be true in all
cases, " he says, there should have
been fall Of about 1880 tons of
lithic meteorites, or in all over 1000
tons OF aerolitic matter precipitated
upon the EARTH
Mr.. Eastman offers the following
theory to account for the apparent
excess OF iron over stony meteorites:
when stony meteorite falls to the
earth it breaks into many fragments,
and the ruptured surfaces indicate
the nature of the catastrophe. No
case is on record where an iron aero
lite showed any indication of having
been twisted, broken or torn from
another mass Of the same material
"rhe true type of meteorite which
reaches the earth from outer space is
probably similar to that which fell
in Iowa county, Ia., on Feb. 70, 1875.
This celestial visitor is composed
almost wholly Of lithic matter, but
scattered through the mass are small
grains Of nickeliferpus iron. This
iron may exist in the stony matrix in
all forms and sizes, from the micro
scopic nodule to the mass weighing
several tons When the lithic mass
comes in contact with the earth's at.
mosphere the impact breaks up the
matrix, sets free the iron bodies, and
they reach the earth in the same con
dition, so far as mass and figure are
concerned, as they exist in the origi-
nal formation.
In such cases it is probable that
the stony portion Of the original body
is rent into such small fragments by
the explosion that these would not
reach the earth in any appreciable
size. The larger the masses Of iron
the more complete would be the de
struction of the original body, and
the larger Gthic meteolites would be
those containing the SMALLER granules
of iron, y Iron.

The Manner. Of society"


These geese in stays and starch
c'society" people, are ignorant Of
the true philosophy Of good manners,
which may be compressed into a sin
gle sentence. The secret of good
manners is an entire lack of self
consciousness. If all men We're born
with a proper perception of justice
bad manners could not exist, 1t may
be somewhat vague, but the almost
universal conception of justice is that
it is the interest of the stronger, as
Plato'ssophist has it, and a moments
review of our codes Of manners will
convince one that this idea is at the
bottom of all, All manners are bad
which are built upon a substructure
Of injustice, either inflicted or suf-
fered.
These best people"-paupers in
every essential of noble manhood
have elaborated a religion of which
an immense cipher is the symbol.
Their range of ideas is SO limited
as to merely correspond with their
physical needs and indulgences, and
they have invented with a wisdom
not common among geese and cockar
toos) code of manners which con-
demns all naturalness, individuality
