rebels commenced an attack in
the direction of the United States

an hour before the time fixed for
the bombardment. The Philadel-

in locating the enemy owing to
the dense forests, but several

the German consulate, smashing
the crockery. The Germans then
went on board the German cruis-

During the night the rebels
made a hot attack on the town,
killing three British soldiers. A
British marine was shot In the
leg by sentry of his own party.
another was shot in the foot and
an American sentry was killed at
his post.

the inhabitants of the town took
refuge on board the Royalist,

RAILWAY NOTES.

Railway travelling in Algeria certain
~ leaves very much to be desired. From
Algiers to Biskra is 400 miles, and it
requires 36 hours to perform the jour
ney. The trip from Oran to Algiers is
26a miles, and this requires IL hours.
Sleeping cars are required on all night
trains and restaurant cars on all
through trains.
The new clock on the Great Eastern
railway terminus will, when completed,
be one of the sights of London, for It
will be one of the very largest clocks
in the world. It is designed to show the
correct time to all the 1s platforms in
the station. The case is so large that
it would comfortably hold dining
party Of four or five persons.
The Central railroad of New Jersey
has instituted examinations for its bag
gagemen. All Of the men employed in
the baggage department will be COM
PEELED to undergo an examination in or
der to retain their positions. The ex-
animation will be in the nature Of aues-
tons concerning the route OF q piece
OF baggage from one station to another,
and methods Of tracing lost pieces Of
baggage, etc.

from getting license. He is only one
Of many criminals who hold similar po-
sitions. Innocent strangers are liable
any day to employ him, or some other
fellow with criminal instincts, and suf-
fer some depreciation. Under these cir
cumstances it would be we'll for peo-
pie visiting Washington to be careful
whom they employ. It is generally
best for strangers to secure carriages
from the hotel clerks, because they are
careful to whose care they commit their
guests.
Zone of these fellows was called by
lady on Pennsylvania avenue last
March, and he carried her to visit a
friend on Connecticut avenue. She
still wore her winter furs; but, as the
day was growing warm, she left her
furs in the carriage, while she entered
the home of her friend. No sooner had
the door closed, than the hackman
drove hastily down the avenue until he
met one of his kind, and gave the furs
to him. Then he drove back, and await
ed the return of the lady. She re-
entered the carriage, and drove to her
hotel, without thinking of her furs un-
til she alighted at the hotel entrance.

PARROT AN AGENT OF DEATH.
Pulls on a Gas Burner Tip While Itu
Mistress Is Sleepins-Is
Gas Inebriate.

Alice Knott, % years old, of No. 800
Twelfth street, Washington, came to
her death the other day through the in
strumentality of her pet parrot, an evil
dispositioned bird, who was cordially
detested by everybody except his mis-
tress, but who seemed to have a strong
affection for her. He would follow her
from room to room and was never hap
py except in her presence. He was gen
orally regarded as a devil by the ne
groes, and as bird of ill-omen by the
whites. His unpopularity was increased
by an uncanny habit of pulling the tips
off the gas burners with his strong beak
and inhaling the gas until it stupefed
him. He was gas fiend, a feathered
victim of the gas habit.
While his young mistress was Sleep
ing the parrot took off the lava tin in
her room and started on gas debauch.
This time there was no one near to
avert the consequences of his deed.
When Miss Knott's relatives, alarmed
at her long absence, broke open the
door they found her dead. Her little
murderer was found half unconscious
by the door. When he found himself
s,lccumbing to the gas and was not re-
ieved as usual by his mistress he real
lied that something was wrong, and
had wit or instinct enough to make for
the door and shove his bill as far as he
could underneath it. He recovered, and
while the coroner was in the house the
malignant little bird was caught trying
to turn on the gas again.

as in the open country. Between
Bournemouth, ON the mainland, and
Alum Bay, on the Isle of Wight, a dis
lance of Is miles, regular service has
been established.
During the convalescence of the
prince of Wales last year communica-
ton was maintained without difficulty
between Osborne house, the queens
residence on the Isle of Wight, and the
yacht in which the prince was lying, at
q distance varying from two to seven
miles from the shore. One hundred and
fifty messages were sent. Regular serv-
ice between the East Goodwin Sands
lightship and the South Foreland land
station, seven miles distant, has been
esta blished for about nine months.
Last March the first messages between
England and France were flashed
across the English channel, the distance
covered being estimated at from % to
80 miles. The complete success of the
system employed by Marconi requires
the use of vertical wires at the trans
uniting and receiving stations, the
height of the wires varying according
to the distance to be covered, also de-
pending to some extent on the induc-
ton coil of the Geographic apparatus.
