Captain Ledyard So Moved, but
Morgan Objected to Hasty
Action.
WARNING TO BE EXTENDED.
Now the Earl Will Be Informed That
His Resignation Would Be
Very Acceptable.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. 13.-The an
nual meeting of the New York Yacht
Club was held tonight at the clubhouse
here. There were in all 127 members
present. The meeting was called to order
by Commodore Brown. After the trans
action of some routine business the follow
ing resolution was offered by Captain
Ledvard:
WHEREAS, The Earl of Dunraven, an honorary
member of this club, has publicly made Ger
tain statements charging that foul play was
practiced by those in charge of the Defender
in the recent race for the Americas cup, and
upon inves tigation of said charges, made by
C committee appointed by this club on No
yember Is, 1895, and participated in by
Lord Dunraven and his counsel, it clearly
appeared teat the said charges were
not only untrue in fact, but wholly unwar-
ranted and unsupported by any reasonable
grounds of suspicion. Lord Dunraven has
neither retrscted the said false charges nor
offered any apology for making the same.
Under these circumstances it is in the judg-
ment of the club manifestly improper that the
Earl OF Dunraven should continue to enjoy the
privileges of honorary mem bership therein;
therefore 1t is
Resolred, That the secretary be instructed to
inform the Earl of DunraVen that his resigna-
ton as an honorary member OF the New York
Yacht Club is requested by the club.
The following cablegram was then read !:

DUNRAvEN.
J, P. Morgan opposed the immediate
adoption of the Ledyard resolution, and in
moving an amendment TO it said:
In view of the dispatch which has just
been received bv the secretary, it seems to
me unwlse for the club to take any action
tonight on the resolution offered by Cap
tain Ledyard.
mot that we are not in position to do
30, but as we have extended to Lord Dun
raven every courtesy up to this time l
think it would be mistake, IN the face of
the dispatch from him stating that there
are letters on the way, to act too hurriedly
tonight, when we can just as well do il in
a few days. 1 would move, therefore, that
this meeting be adjourned to two weeks
from tonight February 81, to take action
on the resolution offered by Captain Led
yard"
The amendment was carried by a large
majority, although some of the members
were not in favor of granting the earl, fur
ther time and manifested strong desire
to demand his resignation Immediately.
The regular nominees for officers of
the club were all elected without opposi-
ton. Commodore E. NJ. Brown was re-
elected, as was also the regatta committee.
Hon. E. ]. Phelps and Captain A T. Ma.
han, q. S. N, were elected honorary men,
pers of the club. The date of the annua'
regatta was fixed for June IL The meet
ing was then adjourned to February q.

STRANGE CASE At WOODLAND
a Cenfenarin1s Nttrses His afflicted Son
at the County hospital.


WOODLAND, CAL, Feb. 13.-For sew
eral years past there have been quartered
at the County Infirmary William Sea and
his son. The father has attained the re-
markable old age of 102 years. The son is
now in his sixty-third year. and probably
no one has endured the sufferings he has
and that are yet in store for him. His all
ment is chronic epilepsy, extending over a
period of sixty years. and his only relief
County Physician Kier says will be the
grave. His fearful affiiction is attributed
to a scalp burn while lying in cradle too
close to a heated stove.
The old man and his boy are made as
comfortable as possible in a little ward
some distance from the main building.
The son has no use of his limbs and lies in
contracted position on cot in one cor
ner of the ward. The father is constantly
at his bedside.
In the early SOS William Sea resided
with his family upon claim in Putah
Canyon, in this county. They were a
daring SET, and not a few of their scrim-
images are we'll known to the older resi-
dents.

GUAYAQUIL'S GREAT LOSS.
The Damage Caused by Fire Much Heavier
Than Was at First Re-
Dorfed

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb. ia special
cable dispatch to the Herald from Panama
says:
The fire that swept through the city OF
Guayaquil, Ecuador. yesterday did not
result in as many deaths as at first feared,
but the property loss was much greater.
Only five members of the fire brigade were
killed, though forty were wounded and
several severely. The death list may be
materially increased.
More than 134 houses, including several
public buildings of great beauty and one
or more of historic interest, were destroyed.
Among the latter were the cathedral and
the convent adjoining. The loss is con-
servatively estimated at 100000.

GHOST DANCE or STUDENTS.
Peculiar ReveIry Reported at Dental
College.

Peculiar Rerelry Reported at Dental
College.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Feb. ia great
sensation has been caused here by the dis
covery that the body of Mrs. Alonzo
Rocker, who was murdered by her hus-
band several weeks ago, was turned over
to the Indianapolis Dental College, and
during dissection by the students was
made the subject of jests and other in
dignities. 1t is charged shat the students
sang the witches song from sMacbeth''
around the corpse as it lay on the dissect-
ing table, decorated the body with ribbons
and conducted kind of ghost dance
around it.
The Coroner says that he turned the
body over to the college as the law pro-
vides, and that he knows OF no indignities
offered. The officers of the institution
deny that anything of the kind occurred,
but the report has created sensation,
and is told with apparently truthful de-
tails, so as to leave no doubt of its truth.

1ne Lao Gains Another Tictory by q
Decision of Judge Noyes.
RIVERSIDE, CAL, Feb 13.-The pro-
hibition law of this city gained another
victory to-day when Judge Noyes of the
Superior Court handed down decision in
an appeal case wherein one Bush, res
taurant-keeper, under conviction of illegal
liquor selling, sought to have the verdict
against him set aside. Bush was con-
victed under that section of the law which
gives to the hotels with forty rooms or
more right to supply guests with liquors
while denying the right to houses with.
less than forty rooms
The decision of the court is that the city
had right to arbitrarily fix the number
OF rooms, and that Bush having only
thlrty-four rooms in his hotel was guilty
of an infraction of the law. Bush, who is
under sentence Of $500 fine and thirty days
Imprisonment, will appeal the case to the
Supreme Court.

Globe of Salt Larger Than the Moon.

According to the computations OF
M. Marlborough, of the Geographical
and Statistical Society of Paris, the
amount of salt contained in the waters
of the various oceans and salt seas OF
the globe would be greater in mass
than the land, SO far as it extends
above the surface of the waters. The
seas cover seventy-three per cent. OF
the earth's surface, estimated at 8, 9,26O,-
600 square miles. The percentage of
salt is the same at oil depths. Assum-
inc that the average depth of all seas
and oceans is but a half mile lit is
probably more than twice that) then
there are not less than 3, 400, 900 cubic
miles of sea water on the globe.
Thousands of tests of sea water have
recently been made, and as result OF
these different analyses it is now posi-
lively known that cubic mile OF sea
water contains at least twenty-five
KILOGRAMS of salt. This being the
case. we find that the total amount o.
salt contained IN 8, 400, 900 cubic miles
of sea waters on the globe would be
equal to S5, 900 cubic miles Ct pure
distilled salt. Years ago Baron Hum
boldt declared that the salt in the
waters of our oceans, could 1t be ex-
tracted, would make globe larger
than the moo=.

The Dancing Mania.

She danced and she danced, alone or
with her friend, or her friend'sfriend,
or a strange girl, and when they were
oil tired out she picked up baby and
kept up the step. Her shoes were
broken and torn; the sole of one held
only at the heel. But it did not hinder
her light etep, for she had leaned or
knew by instinct how to toss her foot
so as to bring down the sole and the
stocking together without an awkward
flop.
it was Joyous sight to see her, and
Mulberry street filed to watch. The
glum police officer who hates hand
organs came to his window to order
the italian away, but he paused Sec
ond too long and ended by tossing out
nickel to protract amusement. Out
of their houses came the people. They
meant to dance, too. but they simply
stood and looked on. Why?
The girl was dancing for herself
alone. There was not trace OF vanity
at the admiration she attracted. There
was nothing but the sensuous enjoy
ment of motion. She did not seem to
care for the music except as time
marker. In her eyes was far-away
look, and it was just little sad. One
spectator found it very sad. Thf
spectacle, from being one Of exhilara
ton, became one for pity, and as th'
rgan-grinder finally moved off ant
the girl followed him down the street
