this morning says: The following
communication has been received
from Mrs. Mary Proctor, daughter Of
the late r. A. Proctor, the celebrated
English astronomer. Mrs. Proctor
sailed from New York on June % on
the steamship Ohio for the purpose of
obtaining a view of the second total
eclipse of the sun, the steamer being
bound on a cruise to Russia, Norway
and ''The Land of the Midnight SUM-"
steamship Ohio, Tronhjeim, Nor
way, Aug. 10.-The passengers on
board the steamship Ohio of the
American line had a splendid view of
the total eclipse of the sun which
occurred on the night of August 8.
The sky was cloudless and the atmos-
phere clear, so that we had a perfect
view of the SUMS cOronet and prom
inences. The planets Jupiter, Mer-
curry and Venus were plainly visible
during the stotality, also many I'M
known consultations. The tempera-
ture fell two degrees, namely, from
SO to 81, during the totality, and a
perceptible chill was felt during the
time. The eclipse was viewed from
Stetting on the west coast of Norway,
latitude 66.57 north, longitude 1880
east. The dates of the eclipse are as
follows: August 3, 14h 5Sm DDS, first
contact; August s, 15:53:25-total OBJ
scuration began. Total duration
l hour and 80 minutes.
Signed, MARY PROCTOR"

TELEPHONE COMBINE DENIED

TELEPHONE COMBINE DENIED.
New York, Aug. 22.-Russell Sage
says there is not a word of truth in
the reported impending consolidation
between the Western and American
Bell Telephone companies. The West
ern Union holds a considerable
amount of the Bell Telephone stock,
in the millions, but no change in the
relations of the corporations is con-
sidered necessary. The circulation Of
the rumor has caused an advance Of
two per cent in the Western Union
and the official denial was followed
by recession for almost an equal
amount.

St. Clair for Turner-It Was Merely an
 Oversight.

Oversight.
 Springville, April 17.-(Special) i've notice in your issue of the 16th instant a telegram from PeI City stating the coun- ty convention of St. Clair failed to in- struct its delegates to vote for the re- nomination of John O. Turner for state superintendent, which would lead the public to believe it was an intentional act, showing their lack of approval of his administration. We wish to emphasize the fact that it was an oversight, for the fact of his popularity and efficiency as state superintendent of education is a well established axiom in his home coun- ty of St. Clair. St. Clair county feels a pardonable pride in the splendid record and enviable reputation that John O. Turner, as citizen of St. Clair and state superintendent of Alabama, has made for himself throughout the state. St. Clair is standing firm for Johnston and Turner.
 The nomination of John O. Turner and Joe Johnston will greatly strengthen the democratic party in St. Clair and she may be expected to come to the front once more as a democratic stronghold
 The meeting at the Cumberland Pres byterian church, conducted by the evan geists, George and Duncan of Gadsden, closed Sunday night. There were in all about fifty conversions.
