but two years old and thus far 1t has made
no great stir in the country. Nevertheless
it has already taken gigantic strides in a
new domain of knowledge Of VITAL prac-
tical Importance, and from present indica-
tions it seems destined to fulfill mission
of surprising usefulness.
Ultimate Ends Contemplated.
To predict with positive certainty the
course and character of coming seasons, to
foretell the times of good ana bad harvests,
to announce long in advance of their oc-
currence important atmospheric and terres-
trial changes, and to make other forecasts
having a like direct bearing on the affairs
of the children of men-not from happy
guesswork, but all with scientific precision
and as the result of absolute knowledge of
the relations between these effects and their
causes-these are the ultimate ends con-
templated by the new institution, and the
achievements for which the disciples Of the
new science are now striving.
This new science of astro-physics Is culti-
waited chiefly through examinations Of the
solar spectrum, the rainbow colors, which, in
combination, form white light, and which
are separated by refraction through a
prism. 1t is practical and comparatively
recent departure from the trodden paths of
astronomy, and is, in fact, the study Of the
heavenly bodies, particularly the sun and
moon, not with reference to their places, as
in the case of the old astronomy, but with
reference to their nature and their effects up
on the wants and existence of man.

The one man who seemed to have the
clearest comprehension of all this was
Hendricks, who. from his retreat under
ground. watched by some inscrutable pro-
cess every move that was made. Gen.
waterson reached Laran on the 10Th of
July. He left New York just six hours be-
fore the police began to look for him, and
he found that 40 of his men had preceded
him to Laran. During his absence the sani-
tarium had been burned to the ground.
This took place on the Sth. On the 9th Gen.
Luscombs party had been attacked in the
rear. The general had been killed and his
men routed. Those that escaped got in at
CovinStOn and reported the Sanitarium burnt
and the gang gone eastward. IL the public
mind this appeared to explain the appear
snce of the regiment in New York on the

act was to cut the telegraph wires when ten
miles out,at a secluded spot.and here twenty
five more men were dropped. The train was
then run with a view to land the men at
the best point and to keep ahead of the
special that il was believed would be on its
heels Gen. Waterson's report leaves US in
no doubt as to how his plan disposed of the
forces. Fifty got off at or near Newark.
Twenty-Five were dropped at waverIy and
twenty-five at Elizabeth. Fifty were dis
posed of at Railway. and one hundred be-
fore reaching New Brunswick. Between
Deans and Monmouth Junction another
hundred left. and at Princeton Junction. at
the suburbs of Trenton. four hundred more
disappeared. Fifteen miles out of Bristol
the remaining hundred dropped from the
cars The engine was then reversed, and
the train started backwards to meet the
special.
Most of these men adopted the plan that
had been tried al ST. Mary's. They started
at once in diverging lines and disappeared
in the surrour ding country.
The excitemerr in New York over the
affair was widespread, and was famed into
a flame before evening by the news that
came from Philadelphia that the United
States mint had been similarly robbed by
another regiment that had seized q train
and gone to Lancaster.
The next morning full details of the two
exploits were printed, and there was no
doubt that they were both parts Of one
plan But no one app ears to have suspect
ed the exact method Of the regiments or
their plan of subsequent disintegrati0n. The
popular imagination planted an armed
force In the field somewhere and added
untold resources Of men out of its own
terrors. Something of this feeling was re-
fected by the press and the action of the
Secretary of the Treasury, for al the en-
deavOrS We're directed to the interception
and capture Of an armed force, which as
the reader knows did lot exist New York
now recalled the ST. &arys affair, which
tical joke, and the Louisville papers were
rather eXultant at what they called an
eastern dose of the Joke.
But IL must not be supposed that the
central police office at New York had been
entirely led astray by these events. II had
quietly arrested six men whom its sharp
eyed detectives had recognized as being in
the ranks of the visiting regiment. and on
one of them was found 500 in gold. The
superintendent, who saw underneath the
surface what he conceived to be a vast and
brainy conspiracy, summoned his best men
put himself in comm unicaJiOn with the Sc
cret service bureau at Washington, and
very soon began TO formulate some of the
Inevitable deductions. In this he was for
tulately aided by one or two circuIn-
stances. He obtained from the Washington
bureau the photographs of the men who
had boarded the Corlnthiln, which photo
graphs had been forwarded from England.
One of the persons in the group dis
covered to be Fenning. The other oircGm-
stance was that The Washington bureau
had sent two men west on his trail and
they had disappeared in Tennessee. With
these facts before him, it did not take the
superintendent very long to focus his sus-
picions upon western Tennessee.

The 'P." Party.

Are you gong to the 'Pi' party ?" was the inquiry that aroused the curi- osity of many the past week. The magic word ''Pi, ,"-eVen if spelled without the e-carried many of us way back in tie buried past, and visions of turnovers, tarts and cookies loomed up like giants in the mist, with bottles of raragoric and No. 6 for background. The young man thought of the pie made by his sweetheart; the married man of that made by his mother-inlaw, V, the:bachelor thought of the dyspeptic bombs of his boarding house, the sol dier thought of the tooth demolsher, called pie. during the. war, and the printer paused moment to think of the "pi'' made by the devil.
 Any how, the inquiry, coupled with beneyolence and curiosity. attracted quite a crowd to the residence of Mrs. James Russell on Tuesday night and none were disappointed in the so- lution of what constituted Presbyte- rian pi." Capt. and Mrs. Russell made every body feel at home by their cor dial manners, and 1t was worth the visit to see the eyes of the hostess dance to the musical jingle of shekels as they dropped in the tiny platter.
 The printers dream was correct, for the "Pi," was an ineongruons mixing Of quotations. sayings, wit, transposi- tion of letters, etc., affording enjoy ment to old and young. A novelty of the evening was d puzzle of boot, !" and luck fell to Mir. Tom Gray to un- ravel it first. by which he gained a beautiful souvenir-a huge pie. The question, "why Mir. L. WAS so oily tongued since his return from the Worlds fair?" was answered, but our reporter lost the words. Dancing Persians," was all he heard. Nearly everybody came in for a rap.
 The object of the entertainment was to raise funds to repair the Presbyte- rian church. Quite sum was realized and it is hoped that more ''pin will be served at an early date.

My report, which was published Tn your paper on Friday. February g |, 1894.

The report was based on the plans and specifications, and tine con- dition of the jail building as found it.. stand by my report. The facts are there to speak for themselves. The Judge or Commissioner neither have ever re- ceived an order from me for any payment on the jail work, which the contract re- quires. l understand they have abou. paid for the jail, but l wish to be under stood as rejecting the work on objections as set forth in my report, and refusing to accept the work, or to give any order for any payment.
