POWDER IN her COAL BUNkERs.
Suspicion of an Attempt to Blow
Up the Monitor Amphitrite.

Suspicion of an Attempt to Blow
Up the Monitor Amphitrite.
Norfolk, Va, Nov. 1S.-An incident Of a
very serious nature in connection with
the United States monitor Amphitrite has
Just leaked cut. 1t is stated upon the
authority OF All officer Of the vessel, which
has just finished repairing at the navy
yard. that while she was coaling at Lam.
bert's Point, preparatory to her present
cruise down the coast, the coal-urImmers
found something in the bunkers which was
too large for a lump Of coal.
Investigation showed that it was a keg
containing twenty-five pounds Of blasting
powder, probably sufficient, had it'gotten
into the fireboN, to have caused an explo-
sion tt at would have blown the big iron
clad out CT the water. The keg was open
ed and n handful of the powder placed
upon the deck and ignited as test.
The most plausible theory is that the
keg was carelessly left in Il coal car at
the mines and the coal loaded on top of it,
and that it was subsequently shoveled
into the monitors coal bunkers without at
tracing notice.
Another is that some ill-advised Cuban
sympathlzer placed it there in the hope OF
damaging the vessel and preventing it from
patroling the Shore This theoryis generally
disbclieved.

A QUESTION OF SIDEWALKS
Residents of Nichols Avenue, Ana
costa, Considerably Exercised.
Them and They That Don't
May Have TO Pay.

The Commissioners yesterday listened to
a statement Of grievances from residents
and owners on Nichols avenue, AnacoStia.
Tic facts are peculiar, and the Anacostians
are in mcst trying position.
Recently the Capital Railway built its
tracks along the avenue. 1t is very
narrow thorouglfare, and there was not
much left when the tracks had been laid.
For the gaining OF space the tracks were
Put very close to one side, leaving most
of the unoccupied Space on the other.
Tine Nichols avenue people all live on
one side, and the opposite side is prac-
ticaEy uninLabited for blocks. The Cap
ital Railway track was laid on tie populous
side. Not long ago, The Nichols avenue
people petitioned the Commissioners that
sidewalks be laid On their street. The
Commissioners investigated, and finally
told the Anacostans that they would put
down sidewalks under the permit and as
sessnent system, under which the owners
along the street paved pay half the COST
The proposition was entirely satisfa'
tory when first considered. The pecu-
Iiarities of the street, however, here came
into play. The Commissioners not long
ago rendered 3n ultihatum that the width
uu.,ide the car track On the residence side
was entirely too small tO allow Of walk.
Tney would'put down walk on the other
side only.
1t is the development of this plan that
makes tie owners of Nichols avenue prep
erty liz awake o nights The people who
uwn all The unoccupied property on one
side will have to pay all the costs, and
they lave no use for sidewalks The resi-
dents Ey simply crossing the street willhav
the use of an excellent walk, for the cost
of whict: they will not be obliged TO con
tribute anything whatever.
One lady who owns 900 feet front Of
unoccupied ground on the avenue madeout
this very plain Yesterday. She asked for
some relief The Commissioners have all
vised the owners of the unoccupied side to
talk the matter over with their friends
across the way. A mass meeting VIII prob
ably result snG perhaps the residents on the
avenue will agree to share the eSpcrse.
However. the question is still complicated.

Temperaments.

Amongst the bread winners in all classes
OF society are to be found men who com
pose the real salt of the earth, and who
are typicaliy the nervous temperamented
nien-men ofimpulse, energy, restless activ-
ity and strong ambition. These are the
men who have what We may call switch
back" temperaments, in which states Of
despair and hope alternately sway and
guide their actions. Their descent to the
one state is rapid, and equally 50 is their
ascent to the other. Their daily pendulum
OF life swings quickly between the two
extremes. Nature has endowed them with
an exuberant nerve force, and not the
least dangerous circumstances Of their
lives are those which tend to Its sup
preston OF misdirectiOn. Such men think
quickly, walk quickly, eat quickly. Intheir
case, worry, brain-tire, ph ysical exhaustion
and consequent Inability to fulfill engage
ments or discharge duties produce instabil-
ity In mental action, which is quickly fol
lowed by irritability and general depres
SION These are the patients who are told
IL is their liver, 1t is dyspepsia, they
need tonics, &c But their dIssipated nerve
energy is really the cause OF tteir all
meht, and the yisceral organs become in
voived secOndariiy. 1t is their lowered
nerve tone that causes distaste for food,
distress after eating, constipation, ringing
IN the ears, insomnia, nervousness, dry
tongue, uncertainty of gait, pranks Of
memory, and hundred other symptoms
that are usually ascribed to some ether
cause.
