history it will take its place along with
other instances of individual daring,
similar in nature, that are already in
fixed in the annals of the American
navy.
1t was October 81, 1893. Capt. Balm
bridge, with the frigate Philadelphia,
had been maintaining the blockade at
Tripoli, but his vessel was blown away
from its station by furious gale.
When returning next morning Balm
bridge saw a corsair stealing into port
and gave 1t chase. The Philadelphia
gained rapidly on the corsair, but
struck on a reef hard and fast. The
enemy came out upon it with his gun
boats, shot into Il until 1t keeled over
and its magazines were flooded. its
pumps disabled, and men were on
board who made holes in the bottom
and then hauled down the American
flag. Then Bsinbridge surrendered
himself and 315 men. The victors
righted the vessel, new rlgged 1t and
brought it to anchor under the ba-
shaw's castle.
cambridge found means Of COM
r,unicating with the commander OF the
American fleet and he proposed that
the Philadelphia be destroyed as she
lay at anchor. Volunteers were called
for and sixty-two promptly responded.
Among them were Midshipman Thomas
Macdonough and James Lawrence. the
first sixteen and the latter twenty
years old: Decatur was twenty-four. all
little more than boys.

had taken the alarm and again after a

bar culver until the water was agi-
tated for miles around. A great noise
was heard that was long in dying away
in the surrounding hills. Then a pro-
found silence. All night the Americans
cruised up and down in the channel,
boping to find some survivor. Next
morning they found one Tripolitan
boat missing and three more badly
shattered on the beach, The ketch
and all who sailed in her had been
blown to pieces. OF the Tripolitans
themselves 1t was learned that Somers.
anding that his venture was discovered
and the crew of a Tripolitan gunboat
coming on board. had deliberately fired
the mine and destroyed himself with
the enemy. A number of the bodies
were recovered. but none was recog-
nized. SO badly were they mutilated.

SUMMER RESIDENCE BURNED.
That of pr. Robert H. Taylor at Round
 Hill

Greenwich, Aug. 5.-The summer res- idence at Round hill of pr. Robert Taylor of New York was burned to the ground with most of it's contents shortly before noon to-day, involving a loss of over $6,000, on which there was but a partial insurance. The fire was of peculiar origin and was un- doubtedly the outcome of lightning belt which struck the house at 2 a. m. Thursday.
 The lightning played queer pranks in the house Thursday morning. It first struck a telephone post in front of the house and then apparently entered the basement of the dwelling. It then took an upward course and entered an un- occupied spare chamber adjacent to where Dr. Taylor was sleeping. It tore up the carpets, knocked the furniture around and caused some pictures to fall from the wall. The crash aroused all the members of the household and after an investigation all through the house fire was discovered in several small places. It was thought they were all extinguished, but about Il o'clock flames broke out in the upper part of the house and spread so rapid
