Laubenheimer, Of Mobile On March Q
the steamer Delaware, which carried
freight and passengers between Phnadel-
phia and Milford. Del. was burned at her
dock in Milford. The steamer which was
valued at $4,000, was a total loss. She
was partially covered by Insurance
The most mysterious case among the
missing vessels Is that OF the German
steamer Ida, which left Blyth. England. on
December "A for Bordeaux and which has
not been heard of since. At the longest
the voyage would take only two days so
that there can be no doubt that the Ida
Is lost. 1t is the general opinion that she
sprang a leak and went down with all
hands on board. The other important
steamers reported missing are the British
steamer Ariosto, under command OF Cap
tain Barnes. and the British steamer Os-
sian, under command Of Captain Lear

Several American visitors 10 Quebec have
found these fishing parties on the ice TO
be not the least amusing OF Quebec's car
nival attractions. One OF these parties had
an extraordinary and very nearly a serious
experience last winter. While comfortably
enjoying a game Of cards in their cabin
they were alarmed by the shouting OF
friends, who had been in possession OF
neighboring fishing house. heavy storm
Of wind and snow was raging without. and
the Ice, not having been thoroughly form
ed. had been broken up by the Joint ef-
feCJs Of a strong wind and high tide. AS
they looked out OF the door Of their shanty
the fishermen saw that they were floating
away from their companions upon an Zee
foe. They could only shout for the assist
ance hat the others were pOwerless TO ex-
tend. They were unable TO see where they
were going. for the drifting snow hid from
them the lights OF the city. and the roar
Of the storm drowned their cries for help
They could not tell when the ice foe upon
which they stood might break up. so they
drifted, OF supposed they did. until day
light, when they found that their cabin
with its foundation OF ice had grounded
upon a shoal on the BEAUFORT Flats. two
miles from the scene Of the breakup Of the
ice whence they were shortly afterWsrd
rescued by men from the shore.
The fishing for tomcOds in the manner
described is b. no means confined TO the

AsPHYxIATEp IN BED.
a Young Man Sunocated by Gas
While Sleeping.


While Sleeping.
BALTIMORE. March 2O-Henry V.
Chanceauline aged about thirty years. was
found dead in bed at 7:30 O'Clock last
night, in the second story front hall room
he occupied at 8 West Madison Street.
Death was caused by gas asphyxiation.
Coroner Germon made an investigation.
and decided it TO have been accidental.
Mr.. Chanceauline was lest seen alive
about o'clock in the afternoon, when he
came into :he house and vent to his room
The odor OF escaping gas wss detected and
upon examination Il vas traced to his
room. After knocking on the door and re
ceiving no response the door was opened
and Mr.. Chanceauline's dead body was
found lying on the bed. The room was
filed with gas that had escaped from a
small gas stove he was using. He had all
his clothing on and newspaper was lying
across his breast II is thought that he
lighted the gas stove, which was con-
nected with bracket by small pipe, to
heat his room, threw himself on the bed
to read and fell asleep. Coroner GermOn
discovered a leak in the supply pipe neer
its connection with the stove.
Mr. Chanceauline came to Baltimore
from HarrisOnburg, Va, about two years
ago and has been living at the Madison
Street house since. In searching his cloth
ing Coroner GermOn found $7S7.I5 in cash.

the estate OF Oliver Chanceauline and a
few other papers. Stewart & Nowen. un-
dertakers. took charge Of the body and re-
moved it TO their establishment on Park
Avenue, near Saratoga Street teleg an
was sent to Miss Clara Chanceauline, fIar-
risonburg Va, notifying her Of her broth
cr's death. Mr.. Chanceauline was not en-
gagged in any business and il is said that he
owned a large amount -of~real estate in
Baltimore. He was not married.

MR.. MGIFFERT's WITHDRAWAL,
The Professor Finally Leaves the
PreSbyterian Church.

NEW YORK. March 20.-Prof. Arthur c.
McGihert. Of Union Theological Seminary.
and long under charges OF heresy, has
withdrawn from the Presbyterian Church.
He mailed a letter yesterday 10 Moderator
Dufield. Of the New York Presbytery Of
which he has been a member, asking that
his name be stricken from the rolls. Il
was impossible TO secure a copy of the let
ter. but il is known that it contained moth
ing beyond the simple request. Prof Nc
Ginert may at some future time give to the
Presbytery reasons al length for his with
drawal.
When the Rev. DR.. Birch's appeal was
taken the assertion was made by the enc
mics Of the Union professor that the local
body had no longer any jurisdiction in the
case. Against this view Prof McGinerts
friends argue that II is quite competent for
a Presbytery to consider at any time the
case Of one Of its own members. Hence the
action Of Prof. McGiffert in sending the re-
quest TO Moderator DufTield. OF the New
York Presbytery. and not TO Moderator
Simple OF the Presbytery was to notify
mis- friends. and his enemies as we'll OF his
decision. and thus save annoyance in the
selection of commissioners.
II is known to be the present intention Of
DR.. McGifert to enter the Congregational
body. but II may be year. perhaps long
er before he applies for admission TO any
religious body. His position in Union
Seminary will be unaffected.
Probably this was the second most IA
nous heresy case in the Presbyterian
Church II grew out of statements made
by the Union Seminary professor in a his
torica book concerning the early apostolic
age The Presbytery OF Pittsburg over
turned the General Assembly of 1885 and
the case came up again at Minneapolis last
year, TO which body Prof. McGiffert sem
long letter in self-defence. The assembly
was Overwhelmingly against him.
a committee OF the New York Presbytery
,abored all last summer and fall over the
case A few weeks ago Prof MeGinert
called together a company OF his friends,
asked their advice and told them he would
follow 1t and withdraw.
