A BOYS LETTER.

Written From Boarding School to
His Dear Mother.
The London Spectator prints the fol-
lowing genuine letter from a school
boy to his mother:

Sudden Destruction.


Although little rain falls in Death
Valley, so named from the terrible loss
OF life from heat which occurred there
in 1850, cloud-bursts Of the utmost fury
are often experienced. The cloud is
always formed above the mountains,
and after a time it's dubious body
strikes a peak. Floods of water are
released on the instant, and in waves
Of incredible size they roll down the
cliffs and canons.
In an hour the face Of a mountain
may be so changed as to be scarcely
recognizable, and even the lighter
storms rip the heart out of a canon
so that only gulches and heaps of brok-
en- rock are found where once, per-
haps, a good trail existed.
"Cub' Lee, in ''Sketches in Death
Valley" tells Of sleeping in camp near
the mouth Of Furnace Greek canon
one night with a "bug- hunter" as the
desert-tramping scientists are called. 1t
was so hot that the naturalist could not
sleep. .-.s 49,. =
About midnight he heard a roaring
noise up the canon, which, as it kept
increasing in volume. caused him to
look that way. TO his surprise ne saw,
lis he supposed, the sky between the
canon walls grow suddenly white.
At that moment Lee rolled over
and the 'bug-hunter'' asked him what
allied the sky. Lee gave one glance
and shouted: T: .ase
"Cloud- burst! Cimb!''
They scrambled up the steep wall al
best they could, just in time to saw
| their lives. Lee thinks the fOamine

and swept every thing before it was

The Nearing of Red Hair.

Scientists say that it means that there
is a superabundance Of iron in the
blood. And the analyst says that it
is the matter that enters red hair that
imparts the vigor, the elasticity, the
great vitality, the overlooking, thor
oughly healthful animal life which runs
through the veins of the ruddy haired,
and this strong sentient animal life
is what renders them more intense in
their emotions than their more languid
fellow creatures. Philosophers notice
it as a peculiar fact that red-haired
old maids are very rare.

WRIGHT WOULDN'T TESTIFY.

Sudden Ending of the Jerome.Mar-
 tin Suit in the Superior Court Tes- terday.
 The Jerome vs. Martin mandsmus pro- ceedings brought to compel City Clerk Martin to change the records of the court of common council declaring Peter Oar berry elected sssIer of weights and meas- ures, came to a sudden termination in the superior court before Judge Prentice yes- terdsy. kfter A lengthy hearing, during which Alderman Wright. republican, of the Eleventh ward refused to testify as to whether he voted for Jerome or Carberry, Attorney Ely, counsel for Jerome, with drew the suit, stating that he was con- vinced that the result of the election was not caused by any tresehery on the part of the democrats, but on the part of some republicans. The costs of the suit were taxed against the plaintiff.
 All the other republican members of the court of common council testified that they had voted for Jerome, but when Wright was called he refused to testify as to whom he voted for.
 At the afternoon session, after all the republican members of the common coun- ell had, with the exception of Alderman Wright, testified that they voted for Je- rome, Attorney Ely addressed the court, saying that in view of the refusal of one man to tell how he had voted, his client did not think 1t fair to ask for a judgment in the case. The case had been carefully prepared, Mr. Ely continued and every re- publican had made affidavit that he voted 1 for Jerome.
 Judge Prentice thereupon entered judg- ment for the defendant.

LIVES LOST A MINE.

Fifty Men Cut Of by Fire, but the
 Greater Part of Them Succeed in
 Making Their Escape-The Fire is
 still Burning.
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala June 20.-Fire was discovered to-day in the mine of the Mary Lee Coal and Railroad company at Lswis- burg. The fire broke out 400 feet from the opening of the mine. One hundred men were at work. Fifty of them were beyond the fire, which blocked their only avenue of escape. Four men lost their lives and many of those taken out alive were prostrated.
 When 1t became known the mine was on fire the fifty men began to make ef- forts to escape. The greater part of them were loaded into the tram cars, which were drawn through the flames and smoke by means of wire cables as rapidly ss pos. sible. Others took their chances in msk. ing @ dash through the smoke. Many were overcome by smoke and were unconscious when rescued. A number of physicians soon reached the mouth of the mine, as did also the entire population of Lewisburg.
 Mothers, wives and children were wild with grief. As rapidly as the insensibls l in hand by physicians and efforts were made to revive them. Superintendent | Whalen and three others died from suffo cation. The others who were prostratet will, 1t is thought, recover.
 It is believed all the men have been 60 l counted for, though later investigation | may show further fatalities. The owner of the mine are positive that it was set or fire. This mine has recently started ul with new labor, having been closed dowl previous to that on account of the strike There is no clue to the incendisries.

FIR ASTUs WIMAN,S SENTENCE

Term of Five Years and Six Mo nths
 Years.
 NEW YORK, June 20-The court of oyer
 and terminer, in which the sentence was
 pronounced to-day upon Erastus Wiman,
 who was convicted of forgery in the sec
 ond degree last Friday, was called to order
 promptly at 10 o'clock this morning when
 Justice Ingraham, who presided at the trial,
 took his seat. MT. Wiman was led in in
 charge of two deputy sheriff's. He looked
 much as he did during this trial, and
 smiled to his counsel, his two sons and
 some friends who were present. The room
 was not crowded.
 In passing sentence Judge Ingrshsm
 said: "The jury has recommended you to
 weight with me. The jury has my sincere thanks for giving me its aid in this matter,
 and for the careful and painstaking atten-
 ton 1t gave to all of the proceedings had
 before 1t and this court. "With due consideration for the jury's recommendation, therefore, sentence you to term of five years and six months in the Sing Sing prison."
 Lr. Wiman for a moment looked be- wildered, and then he sank heavily into his chair, while one of his sons took his hand. He seemed to recover almost in- stsntly, though, for turning to hie son he smiled faintly and expressed his grati6ca- ton that the sentence had not been heavier.
 Judge Ingraham then explained to MT. Wiman's counsel that by communication for good behavior this term could be reduced to three years, eleven months and fifteen days, 80 that the prisoner could be set at liberty in the spring of 1893. For the purpose of enabling the counsel for the defense to procure a stay Judge Ingraham said he would order the sheriff to let Mr. Wiman remain at the Tombs till Tuesday morning.

APPEAL OF THE POPE.

He Exhorts All Protestants to Re.
 turn to the Roman Church-It is
 the One True Faith.
 ROME, June BOA forecast of the pops's encycyolioal intended to be his political testament has been obtained. The pope expresses his desire to close his life with an appeal to all men of every land to favor unity of faith. As re- gards the unbslieving nations he declares that the church will continue with unabat- ing ardor to propagate the faith among them. He expresses sorrow for the schisms and animosities which have torn great civilized nations from the Roman chu,ch and tells of his hope that divine mercy and omnipotence will bring them back to the one true faith.
 Oriental churches, the pope says, are now better disposed toward Rome than formerly, and he invites them to perfect the union which Christ founded. He ap peale especially to the Slavs to return te that unity which Cyril and Methodiu' preached. In addressing the Protestanti he declares that there remains to them nt certain rule of faith or authority, and h. exhorts them to return to the church fl
 order that all may have one faith, hope ana charity based on the same gospel. The pope exhorts Catholics to put of sloth, and submit themselves wholly to tn guardianship of the church.
 The pope denounces Free Masons a enemies of religiaus unity, and he call upon Italy and France to throw of tn despotism of these sectarians in order tha religious concord among the nations ma exrociee the evils of war.
 The pope thinks that in political ques l tions the liberty of the people can bemad l to accord with the power of rulers, wha,
 ever the form of government may be. H
 strongly appeals to rulers to foster II ugious union.

The ,VarsIty Eight Pulled over the
 Full Course Last Night for the First
 Time This Season.
 NEW LONDON, June 20.-The Harvard Varsity tonight rowed over the four miles on the Thames on which 1t is to meet Yale on Thursday. The time was fast. consid ering the conditions, but those who saw the crew and held watches on them do not agree as to the time made. MT. Johnson, father of Captain Johnson of Yale, gives
 the time e-of the crimson eight as 22 min
 utes, 10 seconds Others clsiu that the
 time was 10 to 20 seconds slower than that. Be that as 1t may the crew rowed in
 splendid form. They put power into the stroke, and by their excellent work won the admiration of big crowd that went up on a steamer. Harvard has not before rowed over the four miles. Nelson Per kins followed the crew in the Harvard launch. He did not announce the time made. Yale's launch was near at hand when the Harvard crew started, but those | in it were prevented from getting Hsr- vard's time because the Harvard launch ! obscured the view. The Harvard men be. gan at thirty-six stroke and went to thirty | eight and dropped to thirty-two, the lat | ter count being made at three and one | half miles.
 Yale's varsity eight was slow in getting | on the river 80 Harvard was off on a long run down the course when the Yale eight
 appeared. The freshmen crews were alse | on the river.
