4 Rar FuII of Rranth.

The "pneumatophor. an Austrian invention for enabling miners. firemen, etc.. to breathe when surrounded by after damp. smoke or noxious fumes of any kind. consists of an airtight rubber bag containing 6 steel bottle of pure oxygen at a pressure of 100 liters and a metal protected glass bottle containing 25 per cent solution of caustic soda The oxygen can be admitted by @ hand screw into the bag and drawn into the mouth through a rubber tube, the nose being closed by clip. The turn of an |. other hand screw breaks the glass bottle, allowing the caustic soda to flow out and be absorbed by a knitted network in the bag to absorb the oarbonic acid exhaled. allowing the oxygen to be re. breathed, the apparatus being capab ble of furnishing oxygen enough to last from 30 to 90 minutes. as has been at- tested by numerous experiments

IN The NINTH.
Estimates Showing a Majority
of 1900 for Rhea.

The past week has witnessed some
developments in Virginia politits, all of
character calculated to increase the
confidence OF the Democracy.
1t has been developed that the Ninth
District is decidedly the ba ttle-gronnd
OF the campaign. The contest there has
reached point OF interest and bitter
ness equalling any In Virginia OF recent
years. 1t is safe to say that Judge Rhea
and General Walker are making the
campaigns of their lives. Every day
they make one or two speeches, aud
several times they have met in Joint
debate.
Recent developments in the Ninth
have made the Democrats as nearly ab
solutely certain of success as they can
be. So thoroughly has the district beens
ca nvosscd and so well known is the
complexion of the vote, that the friends
of the Democratic candida te are able to
figure us to the uIajorities in the vuriou
counties with great precision.
The Dispatch has obtained from the
most reliable source possible the folio W.
ing figures, giving the probablemnjoritips
in the various counties composing the
Ninth District:

"a Point for School Girls

There sre very few schoolgirls, whose
parents are in moderate circumstances,
WHO, would not give every Saturday
informing to regularly earn fifty cents or
d dollar.
4 Well, each Que OF these thrifty IL
c.ined girls can earn. or save, fully
this amount by deVoting half of her
holiday to going through her wardrobe
and Systematically mending, brushing,
and arranging her clothes, airing and
kun ming closets and bureau drawers,
and seeing that her handkerchief-cas
glove-case, veil-sachet, manicure-set,
and, indeed, all her. .appurtenances, are
in perfect order.
After this system Of care 'aking is
once well under way it is question il
it would require all of Saturday morn
ing each week. Two hours of the prec
ious day would probablp do the worI
satisfactorily, and not only aid in ma
terially reducing household expenses
but contribute to peace of mind ant
physical well-being throughout the en-

FIFTY LIVES SAVED
Total Number Aboard Now
Sta ed To Have Been 1853.
NOT 40 BODIES FOUND
More Than 70 of Passengers and
Grew are So Far,
Missing

London, Oct. 16.-The latest ofiicinl
figures show that there were SO per-
Sons on the wrecked steamship Mohegan,
that fifty are known to be saved, that
thirty-three bodies have been recovered
aud that seventy-ive of the passengers
and crew Il reunaccounted for.
This means that 10S lives probably
Were lost.
The latest unofficial advices from,
Falmouth say that in all thirty-eight
bodies have been identified, mostly the
| bodies of sailors. Fourare not identified,
including those OF two elderly women.
One OF the dead appeare to be Ger
man. She wore Il watch aud wedding
ring, both engraved "1S71." The other
wore silver brooch, with the letter
I'D" in pearls. This prbably is the body
OF Mrs. Charles Duncan.
Nine bodies were taken to Fulmoath
and the others TO the village church ut
st Keverne.
The rescued passengers are being shell
tered in cottages along the shore and
the crew in he Sailors Home at Ful-
mouth.
CoMPANY's STATEMENT.
The Atlantic Transport Company is
sued Tonight the following statement:
"Of the passengeLs eleven have been
saved, tel bodies have been recovered
and thirty-three are missing.
'Of the crew and cattlemen thirty
nine have been saved, fourteen bodies
have been recovered and fifty-one are
missing"
After this statement was issued nine
other bodies We're picked up, including
two that have been identified as tho
~odies oi the passengers.
Tugs have been cruisingin the vicinity
all day, despite the very rough weather,
in the hope CT picking up othrr bodies.
The cause OF the disaster remains the
profoundest mystery. Nobody tries to
explain how the Mohegan got 40 far
north OF her true course-from six to
seven miles. There was no for, while the
wind on her port quarter was not suf-
hcient to prevent her answering the helm.
1t has been suggested that her compass
was faulty, but daylight lasted long
after Eddystone Light was passed.
The sailors say that even if the
Lizard Light was not visible that very
fact should have served to give alarm.
The Mohegnn's masts, which are
above water, show that her stern is
landward. This suggests that the
navigating officer on discovering that he
was in the bay suddenly turned seaward

To Be Mustered Out.

A number of our soldier boys left
yesterday TO be mustered out Of the
2nd and 3rd Virginia Regiments.
G. w. and H. A. Dodd, Sam Kelly,
Will Millard and E. M. Lilly go to
Roanoke, while j. p. Hartman and
l.. E. Britain left for Wytheville.
The original plan was for all Virgins
la troops to be mustered out at Rich"
mond, but it has now been decided
that they shall go to the point
where they enlisted, and there be
mustered out. Our boys will no
doubt 6e glad to return for Il perma-
ment residence in the land of blue
grass, where the hum of the mus
quito and abe whirr of the rattler
sound not; where malaria and yellow
jack cut no figure; where there is a
plenty of Virginia hot biscuit and
real chicken; where the goose fatteu-
eth on the grass and feather beds are
abundant; where no insistent drum
soundeth the reveille; where there is
no daily drill, and the only orders
they have to obey are those of their
best girls. One gratifying feature of
this "muster out" is that the Snake
Editor, whose services have been SO
much missed of late will be returned
to his pleasing duties, i'm reach OF
the home kitchen.
