QUARANTINE, S. l., Jan. II, 1s94--The
steel four masted ship Muskoka Of Windsor,
N. s., Captain Crow, arrived this morning
from Hamburg after a tempestuous passage
of fifty days. From the English Channel to
the Newfoundland Banks, strong westerly

capstan, Seaman Dickler, of Austria, aged
nineteen years, slipped off the topgallant

rope was thrown after him, but the ship was
rushing along at the rate of II knots and
unmanageable; so nothing could be done for
the unfortunate fellow,
At one M. the wind lulled for a few mo-

off before the wind. We ran thus for three
hours and then hove to on the starboard

No sigus of life were to be seen. Her

NORTH ADAMS, Mass, Jan. II, 1s94-The
New York Sunday papers printed an ac-
Gereau, a first mate of a canal boat, who
represented himself to be the runaway son
of a Count, with the young. wife of an aged
well-to-do oyster man of Roslyn, N. Y.
They eloped by canal boat. Some friends
here of a Mrs. Alexander Gereau, who lives
in Adams and is supporting five children by
washing and house-cleaning, thought they
recognized in the pseudo Count, Mrs.
Gereau's recreant husband. A correspond
ence established the fact and gave the fnfor-
nation that Gereau has been rowing around
with a woman who owns two canal boats, on
one of which he is mate.

HOBoKEN MORAL REFORM LEAGUE
Organized For the Purpose of Clos
inc the saloons On SUNDAYS.

Hoboken's ministers and other good
people, emulating the example of Jersey City
clergy, intend mstituting a great reform
in Hoboken. They met at the First Pres
byterian Church, Sixth and Hudson streets,
night before last to organize a branch Moral
Reform League. Among those present were
the Rev. Mr.. Beatty, E. w. Ketcham, Pro
lessor Wood of Stevens College, John
Donohue, Theodore W. Burger, Edward N.
Bruden, Kelly Hester and w. c. Simcox.
The meeting resolved itself, owing to the
small attendance, into a discussion of the
principles established by the ministers in
Jersey. The Rev. Mr.. Beatty said a branch
was necessary and should be established.
Particularly the gentlemen advocate en-
forcement of the Sunday liquor law. Pro
fessor Wood said it was right to demand the
closing of the saloons. 1t was decided to ask
the women to become interested in the move
ment, their services being considered valu-
able.

NOVELTIES IN COOKING DISHES

Cooking dishes are now made in England,
in which in the boiling process the meat does
not come in contact with the water or steam.
The edible is contained in a jacket, which in
turn is immersed in the outside kettle con-
tanning the boiling water. 1t is claimed
that by this the nutritious qualities of
meat are preserved, nothing passing off in
vapor. There is moisture enough in the
meat to prevent it from burning, and all the
flavor is retained, while again the fibre re-
tains a tenderness not found in any other
Observation-Disclosures.
