Severe at Boston.

Boston, October 13-A northeasterly
rain storm of unusual severity is raging
in the harbor and lower bay, the wind
was blowing heavily from the southeast
all night Saturday, and backed into the
northeast about two Sunday morning. 1t
gradually increased to violent gale,
kicking up tremendous sea outside. NO
casualties Of any Importance happened up
to sun down. The tug Kate Jones came
in this afternoon after being in Boston
bay since Saturday night, searching for
the ship William 81. Ccnnor. Yokohama,
for Portland, Maine, which passed High
land Light at 4 p. m, Saturday just as
the storm commenced. The tug was un-
able to find her, and the captain is OF the
opinion that she must have stood of
shore when the wind shifted. The
schooners Maria o. Teel, Samuel W. Til
ton and Job H. jackson are safely at
anchor in the Roads. Most of the large
fleet of schooners anchored In the upper
harbor have two anchors down. A few
dragged across the harbor during the
afternoon and We're assisted by tugs
which towed them out of danger.
The small two masted schooner Sabine
of Boston, drifted across the harbor and
was forced against the bulkhead at the
New York and New England dock at
South Boston and received considerable
damage. About a dozen fishermen
arrived at the wharf today. Among them
were the Maggie Sullivan, James Drinan,
Fortuna, Ramona, Amos Cutter, l. J.
Merritt, James Clark, Boyd and Leeds.
They all came in without accident and
their shippers report the weather very
severe outside.

At Calvary Baptist Church Yesterday by
Nev. Arthur :. Phelps of Colorado.
Yesterday at the Calvary Baptist
church Rev. Arthur S, Phelps, Yale 'S6,
of Colorado, supplied the pulpit in the
absence of the pastor.
Two strong sermons were preached.
The morning subject was, "a Runaway
Prophet" In the evening the subject
was "A Friend of Sinners"
At the morning service George Chad
wick Stock, who is the precentor at the
Calvary Baptist, rendered in a feeling
manner the solo, Seeing the King in
His Beauty" The words of this song,
which is yet in manuscript, were writ
ten by Dr. s. Dryden Phelps, the music
being the work of Rev. j. B. Child of
East Brookfield, Mass
SEEING THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY
Thine eyes shall see the King in His
beauty.-Isa. xXxiii, II.
l shall see Him in His beauty
When reach the heavenly shore;
See Him, although lovely
King of kings whom l adore:
There the saints and angels praising,
There in open vision gazing,
See our Saviour evermore.
shall see Him in His beauty
Charming my enraptured eyes,
AS His face and raiment frightened
Ger all light of earth and skies,
When to visltants from glory
He foretold the wondrous story
OF His dying sacrifice.
shall see Him in His beauty,
Not as suffering in our stead;
Weary, homeless and rejected,
Scorned and scourged, to Calvary led.
No, my eyes shall now behold Him,
Where celestial scenes enfold Him,
Many crowns upon His head
shall see Him in His beauty.
l am longing for the sight
And for those I know are with Him,
Where the parted reunite:
There to find eternal treasure,
Bliss and blessing, peace and pleasure,
Where He reigns in love and light
l shall see Him in His beauty,
Shall be with Him as He prayed;
And, TRANSPORTED, shall be like Him,
BY His grace in me displayed.
0 my King for Thy salvation,
| In most grateful alteration,
At Thy feet my all be Land.

ORE ELMs.

Streams from One b IL Fire Engines Would
Deal Death to the Elm Tree Insects
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
have found that the most effectual
way Of Kidding. rose bushes and shrub
berry from proving insects was to knock
them off with.a stream of water from
hose turned on full force and this sug-
gests the idea that the elms might be
treated in the same. way by our power
full fire engines. Much, too, might be
done by, individuals with street hose,
and though the stream from the latter
might not be powerful enough to reach
the foliage, still 1t could be used with
good effect in driving the larvae out
from under the bark. On examination
it might be readily seen that the worms
feed from the. underside of the leaf,
clearly showing that they require pro-
lection from the weather, and when
they have reached maturity and crawl
down the trunk seeking a resting place
wherein to undergo their mysterious
change, they seek the under crevices
in the bark where they will be pro-
tected from descending storms. But
they are mostly unprotected from an
ascending shower, such as they would
receive from a hose nozzle directed up
ward and which, / think, would dis
lodge them in vast numbers.
1t may be thought by some that they
would Immediately crawl back, but ]
think not. When once dislodged and
fallen to the ground, life is too short
for them to get back to their place Of
business, and they would mostly per
ish from exposure before they could
again find a congenial habitation.

port? Respectfully

WAS sold TO A SYNDICATE.
TRANSFER OF THE WELL-KNOWN
MORRIS RAVINE MINE IN
BUTTE COUNTY.
IT HAD LAIN IDLE FOR A LONG
TIME FOR WANT OF THE
NECESSARY CAPITAL.

The announcement was telegraphed
from Oroville, Butte County, yesterday
that the Morris Ravine mine had been
sold to an English syndicate. Just what
the terms of sale were is not known, al
though those interested admit that the
purchase price amounted to many thou
sands of dollars.
The property involved is enc of the best
in the State and it has been looked upon
by prospectors and miners as rich and pro-
ductive
There is quite an interesting history con-
nected with the mine. 1t was located first
in 1851 and from that year until 1860 it
paid immense returns. 1t is located in
the bed of the north fork of the American
River, and the original owners made con-
siderable money out of it. They were ex-
Secretary of State William G. Hendricks,
and Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana,
who was Vice-President with Cleveland
during the latter's first term, was also con-
nected with the mine.
There was some difficulty owing to
shortage of the water supply to control
sliding ground, and also particularly
strong shortage as regards the capital in
the investment.
Under these circumstances work in the
mine ceased, although it was well known
that the mine was a rich one if properly
developed. 1t was finally taken in hand
by Major Frank Mclaughlin. He know
ing the value of the property took pains to
interest capital in it. He organized the
present English company to operate the
mine on drift proposition, and the deal
has now been closed.
81 know the mine is worth more than
has been paid for it," said Major Nc
Laughlin. ''and will return threefold what
has been paid. Senator A. F. Jones is the
attorney In this deal, and he has all the
papers connected with it,
One of the latest stockholders in the
mine was United States Senator George c..
Perkins. He says, however, that he sold
his interest and that he has nothing to do
with the new deal.
1.-THE change in the ownership of the
mine will mean much to Butte saiu O.
G. Perkins of Oroville yesterday. "Men
will be put to work and considerable money
will be expended in the development of
our county"
A. U. Rugg said that he knew about the
transfer. The property involved is located
on the north fork of the American River.
He has quite a tract of land adjoining the
mine, but he only takes neighborly in
terest in it.
II own no stock" he says, 'but for the
good of Butte County l want to see the
mine in full,operation."

UNDER POLICE PROTECTION.
SEVERAL VESSELS ON THE FRONT
ARE SUPPLIED WITH Nom
UNION CREWS.
BOTH PARTIES CLAIM TO BE Salts
FLED WITH THE FIGHT
So FAR.

An armed neutrality prevails along the
water front, in which the union and nom
union forces are quietly watching for the
next move. There is a diversity of opin-
ion among the two interested parties as to
where the best of the fight is situated, as
the Shipowners' Association says its cause
is practically won, and the Sailors Union
holds that it has not begun to go ahead yet.
However, several vessels went to sea yes
terday manned with the hated mons. 4"
and although the unions were on hand
ready for any interference, the presence of
the police officers in strong force kept the
strikers at safe distance and no trouble
occurred.
The secretary of the association ex-
presses himself as pleased with this stage
| of the contest and says all the men needed
| can be procured when the vessels are ready
for them. He does not feel that man to
! buck lumber on fore and after of neces-
| sity must be an A. B., or holding a mate s
| certificate from school of navigation for
! the Job of roustabout on a coaster, and
| has no fears nut that farmer" as the
| strikers are pleased to call the men looking
for anything in the way of work, will do
very well at pinch.
The unionists think the available
"scabs" will soon go hay-making out on
w
| the $50 men, and no owner will let his boat
swing at anchor for as small a sum as $40
per man.
The steam schooners Bessie K, Celia
and the schooner Melanchthon were given a
non-union crew by the police patrol yester-
day and the vessels Immediately went to
sea. The officers escorted several men to
the barkentine G. +. Croker at Harrison
| street. About 300 strikers were congre-
/! gated around the vessel with decided dis
position to create disturbance. but they
| gave way to the determined advance of the
policemen, and the new crew was silently
passed aboard of the vessel which sailed
for Hiio, Hawaiian Islands.
j. S. Kimball's steam schooners Noyo
and Albion have been trying to ship non
union men for several days without sue
cess. The vessels sailed yesterday, and
both parties claim to have supplied their
crews. The harbor police officers and the
union pickets patrol the docks and watch
each other closely, and in case of trouble
re-enforcements can be dispatched to any
locality on short notice.
