CAIssoN ADRIFT.
Was Chased by a Tug and Finally
Landed in Harbor.

During the heavy gale on Chesapeake
bay Saturday last the big caisson which is
to be used as the base for the new Point
hotpoint lighthouse broke from It's moor
tngs at the wharf built on the site of the
new lighthouse. and the wharf collapsed
and sank in the bay. The caisson. which
had turned bottom up. drifted down the
bay, across the mouth of the Potomac
and into the Rappahannock river. with the
tug Sarah in chase. Owing to the rough
weather the tug could make no attempt to
get a line to the runaway caisson, but
when the smooth waters of the river were
reached the tug took it in charge. and
Monday landed the big mass of iron in a
safe harbor in the Patuxent river.
On the wharf which collapsed there were
125 tons Of cement and quantity of val
liable machinery, much of which will be
lost. The wharf. which was about three
and one-half miles from land and in TWEEN
ty-two feet of water, had been erected to
facilitate the handling of the heavy ma
terial used in the erection of the light
house. 1t will have to be rebuilt before
work on the lighthouse structure can be
resumed.

No Large Detection Expected.

Considerable feeling has been manifested
among the membership Of the two churches
over the question Of consolidation into one
congregation. In various quarters there
has been evidenced more or less disagree
ment to the proposition, but 1t is said that
the fractional feeling. which at one time
threatened to become quite bitter, has sub
sided. and that the differences between the
members are being laid aside in the inter-
ests of harmony. Prominent members of
both congregations state that they do not
expect any large detection from the congre-
cation as it now exists. Because of the
change in location. however, 1t Is said that
there may be number of Withdrawals
from the union church on the grounds of
Inconvenience. but 1t is hoped that there
will be no disruption of the church men,
