A Dense Fog Hovers Over New York

A Dense Fog HOvers Over New York
QUARANTINE. s. T., Oct. 23.-There
was a dense fog on the upper and lower
bays throughout the entire day. Up to
$3.50 p. m. the only arrivals since sun.
rise were the Old Dominion line
steamer Guyandotte and the Savannah
liner Kansas City. Both vessels re-
ported dense fog below and along the
coast for a considerable distance. The
National liner Europe, hence for Lon
don, which passed out the Narrows at
Up. NJ, had to drop anchor in Graves
end bay owing to the fog. The British
tramp steamer Hajeen, which also
passed out at the same time, returned
and anchored off Clifton, S. T.
The steamer Drew of the Peo-
pies Albany line, with $50 pas
sengers on board, ran ashore off
Fort Washington Point at the foot of
West Eighty-sixth street, on her trip
from Albany to this city. The boats
officers declared that the fog was to
blame. The place where the Drew
struck the shore is a little cove, and
into this she ran, head on, and was so
firmly held she would not bulge.
Rocks doomed up on either side, and
many made easy stepping stones from
the steamers deck. In this way the
majority of the passengers took their
departure. The steamer was not much
damaged, and at a late hour the tide
rose sufficiently to float her, and she
steamed to her dock.

How Peasant Made Good Pay Obeying

The Emperor Nicholas; of Russia was in

On one of these occasions they were told
on arriving at al postal station that the
next piece of road was so bad the dill
gence would take quite three hours to
reach the town.. but if they liked to walk
through the woods, they would get there
in half that time. AS the weather was
fine and the path through the woods was
said to be a, VenY good ore, the Emperor
and the geneEal set off osa foot By and

"Well, I'll give you 10 rubles if you'll
carry me over"
The peasant immediately took the Gar
on his shoulders, and in a few minutes
landed him on the opposite shore.
"Now, 10 rubles more to bring my
friend over.
The peasant waded back. took the gem
eral ON his shoulder, and started with
him. When they got to the middle the
Emperor called out:
''I'll give you 20 rrrbles to drop him i1-
to the water!
In a moment the general was splashi1rg
in the river.

The peasant picked him up again., but
had not gone three steps before the En-

The peasant stood still in perplex1ty.

The peasant began to slip the. general
off his back, but the general clutehed him
tightly, and cried:
"A thousand rubles, you! to put

The Emperor was laughing too much to
say any more, the general was put on the
shore, and the two, guided by the peas
ant, reached the town. After they had

grow and when they bear. illustrating
some Of the costs and expenses in con-
