PITCHED INTO THE SEA.
Fatal Accidents on Board French
Liner, La Bourgogne.

DIuoIi La uISVSuS.
New YORK, June 2.-The French
liner La Bourgogne, Captain LIE
Bout, from Havre, May %, came
into port this morning with all her
flags at halfmast, on account of
the death of Secretary Gresham.
Her officers reported two accidents
during the voyage.
Shortly before La Bourgogne
sailed from Havre, two saloon cabin
passengers came on board. Their
names do not appear on the ships
printed passenger list. Both were
young men named Lawrence. On
the morning Of the 9th, John
Lawrence, aged 26, was promenad-
ing the saloon deck. He leaned
over the railing and his hat fell
overheard. In. attempting to re-
gain it he lost his balance and fell
overheard. A boat was lowered
and proceeded in search of the
man, but he was never seen. He
probably got foul of the propeller
and was killed. The accident cast
a gloom over the saloon passengers
during the remainder Of the voy-
age. Mr.. Lawrence's brother would
not see any one on his rrrival at
Quarantine. His fellow passen-
gers stated that he was greatly
grieved over the loss of his brother.
On the morning of May 31st a
seaman named August Guillard,
while attending to his duties, fell
from the hurricane rail. The cry
"Man overheard !" was promptly
given. A boat was quickly manned
and every effort made to locate the
man, but nothing was seen of him.
For the third time La Bourgogne
was stopped on the 1st inst, at
4 80 p. a., when off the Davis
south shoal (Nantucket), the look
out having sighted a steamer flying
signals of distress. The course of
the steamship was Immediately
and she bore down on the
vessel, which was found to be the
British steamer Enchantress, from
Mediterranean ports for New York. |
Her cylinder-head was broken, and |
the accident, which was beyond |
repair, happened in the early morn
ing hours.
The captain requested the COM
mander Of La Bourgogne to send |
immediate assistance on reaching
port. The disabled steamer was in
no danger. She had her sails set
and was heading to the southwark,
with light breeze from west south
west. The Enchantress sailed from
Trieste on April 26th, via Palermo
May 10th.

National Cane Shredder
(PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS %
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of its former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3003 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by it's use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
8 per cent. to 5 per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases so per cent. has been
reached; the average being rs
to Is per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part. of it
being hard ratOOns.
"The shredder and engine
very little care or
attention"

of these shredders may be seen

TIE FIRE AT THE VIRGINIA UNI.
vERsITY.-The late terrible fire at the
University of Virginia, which destroyed
its library, its chief educational build
ings and many historical relics, has
awakened everywhere very deep SYM
patby with that honored institution.
Some of its losses are irreparable. 1t
will be difficult TO reproduce the origin
al structure, with its spacious halls and
its massive pillars of Italian marble
supporting the great rotunda-an imi
tation of the classic Parthenon-and
combining many of the most beautiful
designs of ancient Greek architecture.
But this famous institution of learning,
OF which Jefferson was the founder and
first rector, must be speedily rehabili-
tated. For seventy years it has ranked
among the foremost of American uni
versities, and although not at all en-
dowed, its friends will rally and are
already rallyiug tits relief. AS it is by
far the most important seat of learning
south of the Potomac, no time should
be lost in restoring and enlarging it
upon scale commensurate with its
great capacity for usefulness. May it
rise from its ashesin renewed splendor !!

STRANGE VIsIToRs.--Between seven
an0 eight o'clock last night three
strange men knocked at the door of
the residence of lady on Pitt street,
between Queen and Princess, and when
she came to an upper window they
demanded admission. This was refus-
ed them ana the men proceeded to the
residence of a gentleman living in the
Deighborhood and knocked. When
the door was opened they stalked in
and took seats, after which they light
led cigarettes and began to smoke. The
man Of the house was dumbfounded at
the procedure and told his visitors they
had the advantage of him-that he
knew neither of them. They, however,
paid no attention to this observation
aud smoked away until they grew tired
when they arose and left in as abrupt
manner as they entered.

THE REvIvAL.-Despite the inclem-
ency of the weather there was large
crowd present last night to hear the
last sermon of the series by Rev. Mr..
-Neighbor, who Las conducted one of
the most successful revival services in
many ways ever held in this city. His
address was interesting aud instructive
and seemed to make deep impression
on many of those present. MIR. Neigh
boris sermons have beeu somewhat diff
ferent from those delivered By most
evangelists. as he has dwelt more on
the idea of the love of Christ for sinners
than on the eternal fire punishment
ides. All of those who have heard him
preach will be sorry that he has been
obliged to leave for another field of
labor at the present time. Immediate
ly after the service last night he left
for Springfield, ILL.,, where he will COM
mence meetings on Sunday next. at
the close of the service three applica
tions for membership were made, a
number asked for the prayers of the
church and three persons were baptised.
Services will be held again tonight and
probably during next week.

A THIEF CAUGHT.-A bold attempt
was made last night to rob the express
car attached to q Southern Railway
train at the Baltimore and Potomac
depot in Washington. The express
agent was temporarily absent from the
car, whep young man, who had been
lettering about the platform, spraDg
quickly through the door. The in
truder at once commenced to search
for valuables and finally spied a wooden
box near the safe. This he seized and
left the Car hurriedly. When the ex-
press agent returned he missed the
box, and colored man told him about
the stranger who had entered the car.
A policeman was called in and the in
vader was captured in the depot. He
had opened the box of supposed valua-
bles and found that it contained only
bottle of disinfectant, valued at 80
ceots. The would-be express Car robber
was taken to the police station, where
he gave his name as Charles e. Poates,
and said he lived in Washington. A
charge of petit larceny was entered
against him.
