WATERS ARE RISING.
II the Galf &C ntinues to Encroacb New o,
leans VIII he Obliternted

II the Calf &C ntinues to Encroacb New Or
leans Will BE Obliterated
Within the last few months there
has come TO the notice of Maj. Quinn,
IN charge of the lighthouse district, a
most interesting condition, which. in
the course of two hundred years, il
continued, would result in the COM
plete wiping out of the city of New Or
leans. This interesting scientific sub
ject is simply that the bottom of the
gulf is slowly sinking and the level of
the gulf is rising higher each year.
Tide gauges and observations show
that within twelve years the level OF
the gulf has risen one foot When the
Eads jetties were built and the bill
was passed In congress it was decided
to establish a tide gauge and level,
and to keep a daily record of the tides
Some time ago the people of Biloxi
held that the tide level was increasing
in height The matter attracted con-
siderable attention, but it was never
given serious thought Then the Mis-
sissippi river commission touched upon
this question and Maj Quinn decided
to make a close inspection OF the tides.
During the month of July. 1894, and
last July he himself suspected that the
delta was gradually subsiding, and
during these two months tide gauges
were placed in deep water.
From the continuous record kept on
these tide observations he was able TO
make comparison, and thus discovered
that since 1875, when the levels were
made, the delta had subsidized exactly
one foot These gauges and tide levels
were placed in position in 1875 and
verified in 1877. Between that date
and 1890 the level went down one foot,
but within the last FIVE years the tides
have been stationary or nearlyso. The
sinking of the bottom or the rising OF
the gulf has been a gradual affair, and
is spasmodic. as it were. Some years
there would be no change and again
there was very great change The
effect of this decline will De TO prolong
the deep water channel and drive the
bar further out TO sea The city OF
New Orleans is about sixteen feet
above the level of the gulf. and should
the gradual sinking of the land con-
tinue at It's established rate of speed
IL would take about two hundred years
TO completely wipe of the map that
land which now supports the city.
There is but one Objectionable feature
to the matter at present. and that is
that II would be impossible TO secure a
perfectly steady and sound foundation
for any permanent work that might
be built-N. o. Picayune.

WALES PAwNEo HIS WATCH.

And Many Other Royal and Noble Persons
Have Done the Same.
Displayed in the windows of several
OF the leading pswnbrokers at Berlin il
q series of jeweled watches, snuff
boxes, valuable rings and scarf-pins
adorned with royal and imperial mono
grams and inscriptions to the effect
that they were presented by emperors
and empresses, kings and queens and
other sci0ns of royalty to the late Count
Visone, minister and comptroller of the
household of King Humbert and Queen
Marguerite.
Whenever any members of the reign
ing families of Europe visited Flor
encs, Turin or Rome and received any
courtesy at the hands of sthe king and
queen Of Italy, they, In accordance
with the laws Of tradition and eti-
quette. showed their appreciation
thereof by conferring some gift, usu-
ally in the form of jewelry, upon the
principal members of the Italian court.
Count Visone, as chief thereof, came in
for the largest part of this backsheesh.
When the count died it was found
that he had left very little money and
these royal souvenirs formed the sum
total of the inheritance of his son. who
was secretary of the Italian embassy
at Berlin, acting on frequent occasions
as charge d'affairs in the absence Of
the envoy. The young count was very
extravagant, lived far beyond his
means. got into the hands of the cent
per cent fraternity and was finally
driven to pawn all the mementoes
above described.
As long as there was any chance of
their redemption the pawnbrokers
kept them in their safes, but since the
check episode at the Hunt club at
Rome, where the count drew a five
thousand dollar check upon a Berlin
bank where he had a balance of only
-four dollars, and then bolted with the
cash, they have placed the trinkets on
view in their shop-wndows, realizing
that there is no further hope of their
being redeemed.

THE GROCERS WIN
In Their Fight Against the Boycott
of the Butchers.
at a Meeting Of Wholesale Meat
Dealers, Yesterday, Six Firms and
individuals Agreed to Sell the
Grocers all the Meat They Want

The retail grocers Of the city will
continue to supply meat to their GUS
toners, as of yore, and the boycott Of
the butchers has failed of its purpose.
At a meeting held yesterday after
noon, at the request of a Committee Of
the Grocers. F. Schenk & Sons, F..
Weimer & Sons. George Zoeckler, the
Wheeling Beef Company, the Home
Dressed Beef Co., and the Cleveland
Provision Company, all agreed to sup
plv both fresh and smoked meats to tina
grocers. and in an announcements in
another column the Grocers' Associa-
ton this morning announce the result
arrived at officially.
The grocers had under consideration
two propositions looking to a supply OF
meat from outside the city-one from
Armour & Co., and one from Pitts
burg Grm-and if necessary would have
gone 10 the extreme OF building and
operating q slaughter house OF then
own. AS the matter now stands, they
will get their supplies of meat very
much as Of yore and the whole matter
may be reasonably regarded as settled
by the result OF yesterdays meeting.

ENDEAV0RERS.
Fifty Thousand of Them viii Gather
in Observation-Disclosures Offer Declin-
ed, and the Headquarters Will
Not Leave Boston.

Boston, July 1O.-The trustees Of the
Y. P. S. c. E. met at noon to-day
The chief matter was the offer of H.
H. Kohlsaat, of the Chicago Times
Herald, who had agreed to pay $4,000 a
year for three years toward the main
tenance of the society's headquarters
on condition that they be removed to
Chicago. The offer was unanimously
declined and the headquarters will not
be removed from Boston.
The committee reported their appre-
citation OF the generosity Of Mr.. Kohl
saat. The work, however, is wholly
one Of influence. 1t is not necessary
that the society should have large
buildings or incomes. The principles
of the organization forbid the head
quarters being more than a bureau of
Information. levying no taxes and
seeking no authority Therefore they
concluded it to be ineXpedient to accept
the kind offer.
The only other matter Of general in
terest was the claims of Los Angeles for
the convention of 1897. The delegates
urged that the city was the only one on
the Pacific that had three railroads; that
is climate is superb and unfailing; that
the Endeavorers there had raised con-
siderable money in anticipation OF get
ting the convention, and that the bust
ness men Of the place had guaranteed
to subscribe enough TO cover the eX-
penses of a convention. Tomorrow the
claims of Portland, Oregon, San Fran
cisco and Seattle will be presented.
The trustees Will tomorrow decide
about the 1897 convention and also the
expansion of the society into a world $
organization.
Rev. Francis Z. Clark, D. D., presi-
dent and originator of the society, pre-
sided at tO-day's meeting Of the Board
Of Trustees.
The city was never more lavishly
decorated and never appeared to better
advantage than to-day.
At the reception headquarters mes
sengars are constantly bringing re-
ports from the 1000 white-capped En-
deavorers who are at the railroad sta
tons and boat landings, giving aid and
directions to the delegates who are
coming in from all parts of the cOun-
try. Thirty-fve thousand delegates
have registered. Tonight 90 meetings
took place simultaneously in as many
churches and halls. About $4,000 more
delegates will reach the city late to-
night and early tomorrow morning,
and the indications are that fully So
600 delegates will attend. Delegations
arriving to-day included 40 from West
Virginia. The reception committee has
met no difficulty in disposing of the
throngs. The hotels take care of 10000
| and accommodations have bebn secured
for 40. 900 in the city and suburbs The
great restaurant in Mechanics Hall is
ready to feed 1900 persons daily, and
10000 lunches can be supplied to dele

CHLOROFORMED AND ROBBED.

John Crawford Has Another Experience
with Burglars Nearly Caused the Baby's
Death.
Special TO the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, July 1O.-Last
night burglars entered the house Of
John Crawford, at Sewell, and after
chloroforming him, his wife and child,
secured $175 worth of booty, consisting
of $40 in money, a watch, chain and
valuable ring, making their escape
without leaving a clue. Mrs. Crawford
awoke first and revived her husband.
Several hours We're spent upon the baby,
which was resuscitated with the greatest
difficulty. Crawford, who is a wealthy
citizen, was recently robbed of $500 in
money.
