A NEW SEA PERIL.

The land not having contributed
sufficient. summer pests, the sea has
begun to add to the number, and it's
first donation is an apparently inno-
cent creature which aggravates human
misery to a greater extent than the
mosquito, the flea, or the brown-tail-
ed moth. 1t is the jellyish. Every
one who sails or bathes in the sea or
roams the beaches at low tide knows
this monster, bowl shaped, gracefully
fringed, of about the consistency Of
blanc mango, drifting rather than
swimming with the incoming tide,
and going back with it, spending its
frail life like lotus eater, doing Moth
ing but drifting aimlessly about, the
ideal of Nirvana.
This seemingly harmless. hfeless
lump of marine gelatine which,
stranded on beach, melts away in a
jiffy, is proving terror on the At
lantic coast. The jellyfsh, like mis-
fortunes, never come singly. Myriads
OF them come in and &C out with every
tide. Heretofore they have been
considered harmless, but recently they
haze come in extraordinary numbers,
and the bathers have been bathing in
a compound about half surf and half
Jelly. In one day at single beach
more than hundred bathers found
themselves poisoned by contact with
jellyfsh, and their arms and legs
friehtfully swollen. OF course, those

wounding him. The officers
went on and found Policeman
Pass quarreling with a crowd of
negroes, but soon left. AS soon
as he heard of his sons shooting
Pass looked up Lowery and
Swofford and opened fire on
Swofford. Swofford emptied his
pistol and ran, and when Pass
turned toward Lowery the latter
shot him dead. Both Lowery
and Swofford surrendered.

KIMBERLEY CANNOT ACT
Asks to be Relieved from Schley
Investigation
The Admiral Employs Counsel and Be-

His Case.

ter has been received at the navy
department from Admiral Kim
berley, asking to be excused
from the Schley court of inquiry
on account of the state of his
health. The admiral is under
stood to be suffering from heart
trouble. The application was
placed in the hands of Secretary
Long, who will dispose of the
matter from his home in High
am. Mass.
When the navy department
closed yesterday afternoon Adj
miral Crowninshield, acting Sec
rotary of the navy, said he had
not seen the letter which Admir-
al Schley wrote to the secretary
of the navy acknowledging the
receipt of the court of inquiry
precept and making certain sug-
gestions in reference thereto.
Capt James Parker, the former
naval officer, who is acting as as
sistant counsel in the case for
Admiral Schley, says that the
letter was mailed to Secretary
Long at 6 o'clock Sunday even
ing.
Capt. Parker says that he him
self deposited the letter in box
at the general postofice. In the
ordinary course of the mails, the
letter should have reached Sec
rotary Long Monday morning.
The supposition at the depart
ment is that if Secretary Long
received the letter he took it with
him on his departure from Wash
ton without making it's contents
known to the officials of the de-
partment. 1t is certain that the
letter of Admiral Schley COM
ments upon the fifth specification
of the precept, and, it is believed,
makes certain suggestions re-
garding it. Capt. Parker will
remain here several days to COM
plete his examination of the Off
cial papers bearing upon matters
which will come before the court.
Secretary Long left yesterday
for his annual vacation, which
will be spent in New England.
Until the return of assistant Sec
rotary Hackett Admiral CROWN
shield. chief of the bereau of nav
igation, will be acting secretary
of the navy.
Admiral Schley has already
begun the preparation of his
case. At his request Mr.. James
Parker, his assistant counsel,
made application to the depart
ment for permission to examine
the logs and official records in
connection with the movements
of the ships on the south side of
Cuba, and this permission was
granted. Mr.. Parker was given
access to these documents and
was examining them today. Both
Admiral Dewey, the president of
the court, and Admiral Benham
were at the department today.
The latter has formally acknowl-
edged the receipt of the order of
Secretary Long detailing him on
the court. There is no question
of acceptance of such a detail
where an officer is physically
able to serve and Admiral Ben
ham expects to be present when
the court convenes Sept. IL.

SISTE]RSVILLE, W. Va, April IT,
One of the narrowest escapes ever ex-
! perienced by a nitro-glycerine shooter
occurred yesterday to Frank Winks, OF
the Winks Torpedo Co. Mr.. Winks had
been out in the vicinity of Meadeville,
this county, to shoot a well, and was
on his way home when the accident
occurred. A short distance from Meade
vile he was compelled to cross Middle
Island creek, and here is where he came
very near being killed. When he had
passed over the fording in the morning
the creek was very low, and he had no
trouble. When he came back in the
evening, a rain falling during the day
had swollen the creek and it was
simply a matter of c~onjecturing where
the ford was. Winks drove into the
stream and attempted to cross over.
The water was so swift it swept the
horses and wagon down stream and
Winks went with them. He jumped out
as soon as he realized his danger, and
after very hard work finally succeeded
in cutting the harness loose from the
horses and getting them out. In the
meantime, the top of the glycerine
wagon had been loosened and two cans
of the liquid had been washed from the
wagon and was floating down stream.
One of the cans struck a rock or other
obstruction in the channel and explod-
ed with such terrific force that Winks
and the horses were all thrown of
their feet. After considerable hard
work Winks succeeded in getting the
horses out, leaving the wagon in the
stream. He rode in the city last night
and this morning went out to get the
wagon out.

LONDON, April 1.-THE scene in
Bow Church to-day during the conse-
Grafton of the Right Rev. A. f. w. In
gram as bishop of London resembled
a political meeting rather than a relig-
ious service. John Kensit, the anti
ritualist, entered an expected protest
against he appointment. He spoke for
some time in a loud voice. His re-
marks caused an extraordinary uproar
and he was greeted with cheers, hisses
and shouts OF order" shame" mo
popery," etc.
MIR. Kensst, in the course of his re-
marks. accused Dr.. Ingram Of being IN
faithful to all his promises when he was
consecrated Bishop of Stepney, adding
that he had helped law breakers, had
encouraged clergymen who, in defiance
of the Rubrios. elevated the Host, offer
ed masses and practiced the confess
sions, etc. He concluded with saying
that he was prepared to appear In the
courts and prove that DR.. Ingram was
IN unfit person to hold the position OF
a bishop OF the Protestant Church, ow-
ing to his encouragement Of these
Illegal Romish practices.
The friends and opponents Of Mt.
Kensit became SO uproarious that the
vicar general tried to clear the church.
DR.. ingram appealed to his friends to
listen quietly.
Eventually the vicar general over
ruled the objections and the election OF
Or. Ingram was confirmed.

red outside the church, and, finally, Mr..

which was caused by the burning of the
dwelling house of a widow lady named
Mrs. Williams. The fire started in the
interior OF the house from an over
heated gas stove while Mrs. Williams
was down town and was fire discover
ed by the ~neighbors who sent in the
alarm. The fire department responded
promptly, but the house was SO fal
away from a fire plug that there was
not enough hose to lay one line to the
house, and nothing could be done to-
ward putting the fire out. The house
and all its contents were consumed.
The loss will amount to about $500
