AN OLD BAPTIST CHURCH.-The his.
toric walls of the old Short Hill Sane
tuary, the first Baptist church built in
Loudour, if not the first in the State,
were torn down last week. The build
ing had probably not been used for ga
cred purposes for forty years, the mem
brrsbip having erected what is now
known as the Ketoctin church within q
few rods of the old site. The stone in
ne walls will be used to enclose lot
adjacent to the old burying ground
which will be divided into cemetery
lots for those wishing to bury their dead
there.-Entnprise.

collision with an iron bark that lay quite
close to her. A timely anchor saved her
till tugboat assistance arrived. San Diego
is the favorite port of the Rathdown. being
the only one up TO date wherein the yes
sci has not sustained any accident.
From that port she sailed TO Astoria,
and while being towed from there toPort-
land she stuck fast off Tongue Point for
some time, although in ballast, Loading
half grain at Portland, she was returning
to Astoria to complete her cargo with sal
mon, when she ran into the immense steel
bridge across the Columbia River, her fore
topgallant mast being carried away and
her libbooms bent out of all shape. The
bridge was damaged to the extent of $1,000
and traffic over it was stopped for week.
At Astoria the shipwas repaired, and early
IN last July she started from the mouth of
the Columbia, bound for Liverpool. Every
body here read about the Rathdown's
cargo shifting in rough weather off the
Horn. and how she put into Auckland,
New Zealand, to have her cargo rlghted
1t was not until the middle of Noyem Der
that she was enabled to continue her yoy-

I terrorized among them were certain that
the dead mans shade was marking out
somebody for destruction.
Near Hayre one of the crew died and
was dropped to the bottom of the sea-
This made the fourth burial from the ship
in about two years. In the English Chan
mel the ship beat against westerly wind
for seven days before she was picked up
by a tug, 200 miles south of Havre. Three
hawsers were parted before her head could
be brought to the wind, and then three
days of hard towing were required before
she could anchor at Havre.
The Rathdown next towed over to Car
diff and loaded coal for Montevideo. The
captain wanted another negro crew, but
the owners opposed the scheme and whites
were taken out. The captain. at the last
moment, shipped burly negro boatswain
over them.
At Montevideo the captain sought TO
shift the vessel to another anchorage under
sail. Something went wrong with the
steering gear, however. and the Rathdown
plowed into a sandbank. 1t required the
united efforts of four tugs to drag her off.
She was then SO leaky that another turn
at drydock was necessary.
The ship being ordered to Buenos Ayres,
on arriving off that port a Spanish pilot
was taken aboard. He brought supply
OF liquor with him, and drank heavily.
Taking offense at some fancied insult he
drew a razor and slashed about like
madman. The captain and two of the
crew were badly cut before the Spaniard
was overpowered. The drunken pilot was
sent ashore in a tug, and being tried there
for his offense was merely ''reprimanded.
The moment the Rathdown docked at
Buenos Ayres the whole crew deserted.
In ballast the Rathdown sailed to New
castle, n. S. W., and took on coal for San
Diego. While being moored to q buoy out
in the stream at Newcastle, ready for sea,
what is known as 'southeasrerly buster
came full swing into the harbor, along
with tidal wave, and in the wash that
followed the latter the Rathdown parted

HUMBOLDT HAS RETURNED
Strange Adventures of an Ala
media Homing Pigeon
in Oregon.
Restored to His Owner After a Years
Absence, He Fought for and
Won His Nest.

Humboldt has returned to his accus-
toned place in the pigeon loft of T. w.
Levdecker in Alameda. and in conse-
quence that gentleman considers himself
the most fortunate fancier in California.
Nearly year ago Mr.. Leydecker sent
seven of his favorite birds-tive veterans
and two that hatched in 1S93-for fly
from Ashland, Or, to Alameda.
As the youngest had never been bevond
Sissons he was not greatly surprised,
though far from pleased, when the older
birds returned without them. The liberia
tion was in snowstorm. He had about
given up hope of ever seeing either of
them again. when he received word from
Portland, Or, that one of the carriers,
humboldt, was at that point and would be
forwarded to Mr.. Leydecker on receipt of
$50. The letter came from w. w. Bretter-
ton, brother fancier, to whom the bird
had been offered by John Henderson, who
had caught it after it had alighted on his
house in an exhausted condition.
Mr.. Leydecker answered that he did not
object to the amount, but he thought that
the bird should be returned without ran
som, inasmuch as pigeon-hying was merely
for pleasure and absolutely without profit
While the correspondence was in piog-
ress humboldt made his escape from his
original captor and was taken by another
man, who with more fairness offered to
return him to Alameda if expenses were
paid. This Mr.. Leydecker was willing to
do, and yesterday Humboldt was hack in
the loft as happy as any pigeon could be.
An amusing scene followed his return to
the flock. His nest in his absence had
been Jumped" by another pigeon, and
the intruder was in possession when Hum
boldt entered the loft. Without mo-
ment's hesitation the prodigal, with all
the belligerence of his kind, waddled over
to his old accustomed place and gave the
holder thereof a sound drubbing, finally
driving him away, and settling down with
an air that portended that he had come to
stay.

was hitched to. A large crowd gathered,
among which were several roughs, who
threatened to make it interesting for Mr.
Lamar should he lay his hands on the
owner. The better element in the crowd,
however, assured the officer that if he
did not arrest the peddler they would cause
him to be arrested. He was in the act of
climbing on the wagon after his man, re-
gardless of either party, when the peddler
jumped off the other side and escaped
down Seventh street.
Lamar found the horse too sick to carry
to the home, and took it to stable near
by. He said he thought it would be nec-
essary to shoot the animal.
