Definition.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 80. = United
States District Judge Morrow was to-day
asked to give a judicial definition OF what

ney-General Olney's definition of what is
a merchant under the act of Congress.
Quite number of merchants were rec
ommended and discharged, to which rec
ommendation the United States Attorney

TO the Attorney-GeneraPs definition OF
what constituted members OF the celestial
mercantile community.
After hearing the arguments of several
lawyers interested in landing passengers
on the Oceanic and other vessels. Judge
Morrow to-day took the problem under
consideration.

SAN FRANCIsCo, April 30.-Mrs. Rose
Dwars, wife of saloon-keeper at ll49
South D street. Tacoma, WASH, had an
exciting experience here this afternoon
with "Green Goods men, with whom
she had been in correspondence for sew
eral weeks relative TO the purchase OF
$1,000 worth of counterfeit greenbacks
for $500. Mrs. Dwars came from Tacoma
with her money intent upon making
what looked to her like profitable in
vestment. She met the crooks, entered
into negotiations with them. and was
about to purchase. She finally became
suspicious, however, and refused to buy
the stuff. she says.
Her story is that when she started to
90 away the man with whom she mad
been negotiating induced her to put the
money into a tin box for safekeeplng,
and started with her for the railroad
depot. On the way two other men Joined
them in the street car. Mrs. Dwars de-
tected the fellows III the act Of exchang-
ing the box containing her money for
another just like it. She gave the alarm
and the three men ran from the car.
Two of the men were captured by po-
licemen and the two boxes recovered.
One contained nothing but blank paper
of greeuish color. The other contained
the 5000 which the woman now claims as
hers. and number of crisp 81 bills laid
carefully over what seemed to be pack
ages of new banknotes but were simply
blank paper. The police are inclined to
believe that Mrs. Dwars entered into the
transaction fully, but that she was shrewd
enough to discover the trick when the
crooks attempted to change the tin boxes.

QUEBEC, April 30.-Fridav night about
$50 o'clock tho inhabitants of the quiet
village of st. Albans, situated forty-eight
miles from here, and four miles from
Lachrevetierre, in the county of Port
Nouffe, heard terrible noise. resembling
the roll of thunder in the distance.
Near the parish church is a curve in tho
river st. Ann, which makes waterfall.
The ground which stays the formation on
the right side gave way, and the earth
and rocks filled a deep cash of the falls,
burying pulp wood mill. The sides of
the river, which are composed of clay,
and 15O feet highs caved in. blocking up
the natural channel of the river for dis
| tance of five miles and to the depth of
seventeen feet, making the water rise lOc
feet above the earth walls that were sup
posed to hold it back. The walls were
not strong enough to keep in check the
fury OF the stream, and with terrible
roar and rush the water came down upon
the unprotected village, carrying away
| the bridge.
| At 10 O'Clock the depth Of the water
rose at Casimir and carried away another
bridge at st. Ann. At IL O'Clock 1t car
ried away the two pieces Of the bridge
and all the lumber booms.
| The house of Farmer Guthrie at st.
Albans is completely buried, and four
unfortunate people who had occupied it
are supposed to be crushed below. At

smoke can be seen and it is feared the

death to the inmates that are known to-

The accident was especially severe on
dumb animals. Hundreds of cattle,

can be seen struggling and making an

cident, is not anywhere near telegraph
station, and no information as to the

of the country it is very difficult to reach

SUPERINTENDENT GInSscOcL's Plans.
w II. GIasscock, the newly appointed
superintendent of the institution, is max
ing a careful study of his pupils and in
gratiating himself into The confidence Of
each. He says that he finds the blind
light-hearted as rule. though each pupil
is liable TO have his days Of depression.
AT such times everything possible is done
to divert him from his own lot and 10
prevent brooding. IN religious belief,
each pupil selects his favorte church and
attends it. There are devout Christians
and skepucs among the pupils. All are
respectful and when their confidence is
gained easily managed. one highly inn
portant movement he is inaugurating is
teaching the pupils 70 speak without hest
tation and without articulation This is
the characteristic weakness of the blind
and he will endeavOr to remedy this as
much as possible.
There is not gloom and bitter brooding
in the institution as many may suppose.
on the contrary, the interior resounds
with the music of the instruments. the
sounds of laughter and romping and the
cultivated tones of vocal music. To see
those boys at play one would scarcely
suppose that they were without sight.
With the wonderful faculty Of judging
distances and sounds they will chase each
other through halls, up and down stairs,
dash through open doors and never hest
tate for step. In the gymnasium, which
Mas been fitted up for them, and which
they greatly enjoy, they Will rnu thirty
feet and vault over bars and play ball as
we'll as many boys with eyes In playing
ball they use one with short strings at
