iayed in her return TO her dock, at the
foot Of Seventh street, for more THAI
five hours last night. Scheduled to ar
rive here about 5 o'clock. the vessel id
not get in until about 1890 o'clock.
A broken paddle wheel was respon-
sble for the delay. Some anxiety was
felt by the passengers until ii became
known that --sthing serious had hap
rened to the vessel.
The steamer left Mt. Vernon at 4
clock, and attempted TO make a land
ing at Fort Washington, when one Of
her wheels caught on a hidden 1ile.
This caused the accident The Fort
Washington tug, General Swarrout,
went to the aid of the disabled vessel,
and towed her to the wharf at River
View, whera she was tied UP.
AS there were no commercial tugs TO
go to the vessels - che navy yard

The committee also declared Rich
mond was lending twice as much money
in the district created as Washington
and Baltimore, and was more favorably
located, as Baltimore, its nearest COM
pctitor, was in a corner of the district
and too close to Philadelphia
New orleans lost a bank because. with
the exception of nineteen of the thirty
two banks polled in Mississippi and the
Louisiana banks, all the other gulf
States favored Atlanta and Dallas. Tex
as Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Ten
nessee declared it would do violence to
their trade to be connected with New
Orleans.
The choice of Kansas City was held
10 be a logical one, as otherwise, the
committee says, it would have been nee
essary TO connect some of the Nebraska
banks with Chicago, which would serve
their needs better than St Louis. 1t
would be impossible to serve the district
from the river to the mountains without
a bank at Kansas City, the committee
adds
No reference was made to the protests
of Pittsburgh bankers against being put
in the Cleveland district. Pittsburgh is
preparing to carry its appeal to WASH
Ington, urging that it could be better
served by Philadelphia.

Their pla atinum pens, as they
scratch across the Sooted surface or
the smoke sheet, On the revolving
drums, may tell of disturbances
within the earth, which are only
valuable to science in the study Of
seismology, or they may record a
cataclysm in a distant land; and
their faint whisperings. when am
plified and detailed by the lightning
fash Of cable and wireless, will spell
out a tale of terror, Of rocking cities
and falling masonry, Of the horror
of a sudden darkness wherein fren-
zied people fee blindly through
debris-piled streets, and the moans
of the injured mingle with the cries
of the fear-stricken.
Twice each day, with reverent
football, the great door of the cave
is entered, and the record of the
preceding hours lifted from the In
struments. Then it is filed with
those which have gone before. and
the story of its waverings is sent
out. to be compared with the grams,
as the completed records are called,
of other stations. scattered through
out the land.
Let us look at the theory Of the
instrument.
The seismograph is virtually an in
verted pendulum. one end of which
is practically rigid, except for a
complex hinge called Cardanic, rnd
with a mass of metal ON the out
stretched arm, as heavy as is con-
sistent with the strength of the
hinge. DeIicately attached to the
other end of the arm is the recording
pen, which, on the moving end or
the strut, amplifies the faint move
ments transmitted from the rigid
frame of the machine.
Execute Movements.
When the pier or support, on which
the instrument rests, is set in mo-
ton by the -tremblings of an earth
quake, the Cardanic hinge and the
frame of the machine execute all the
oscillations communicated to them
while the heavy mass Of metal on
the arm tends to keep its position.
IL is the inertia Of the mass "hich
gives il stability. Between the
mass and the frame. which Is more
or less agitated by the feeblest eartn-
tremor, there is "A relative motion.
