The steamer George Appold collided with
the American bark Lillian in a heavy fog
off Point Lookout. Md.. Thursday evening
last. The Appold broke her stem and
was otherwise damaged so as to require
her return to Baltimore, .whence she had
just sailed for Providence. R. I. Her car
go was discharged and she was docked
for repairs. The Lillian was badly dam
aged on the port side, and would have
been cut down but for the fact that the
steamer struck her anchor and was
sheered off. By the coolness of the Cap
tains of both vessels a panic was averted.
The Appold assisted in lowing the bark
into port.

The Later Mohammed.
The prominence which the Soudan re
bellion has assumed in the past few
months has not only paralyzed the
Egyptian authorities, but is causing the
most serious apprehensions on the part of
Turkey. England and other powers in
terested in the East. From being con
sidered a mere local uprising on the part
of an ambitions fanatic and his followers,
since the defeat and annihilation of Hicks
Pasha's army,the cause of the False Proph
et has gathered adherents by the thou
s inds, and he is now in undisputed pos
session of an immense extent of country
reaching to the Red Sea on the east, and
far beyond the Nile on the west. With
the exception of a few fortresses
which are in a state of
siege, the whole of the Soudan and a very
large part of Nubia is at his mercy. He
has sent hundreds of emissaries into
Egypt. Arabia and other regions inhab
ited by superstitious and fanatical Mo
hammedans. and it is stated that large
numbers of these people are ready to join
the revolt as soon as the standard of El
Mahdi appears among them.
Egypt is utterly powerless to resist his
advance, and Turkey, now aroused with
apprehensions for the safety of orthodox
lsiamisui aud the supremacy— perhaps
even the existence of the Sublime Porte.
is unable from pecuniary embarrassment*
to bring any very great force against him.
England has peculiarly important inter
ests in Egypt and the Suez canal, and it is
probable she will be forced to take deci
sive steps to defend the water way to her
great East Indian possessions. It would
seem, however, that instead of seudiag
Gen. Gordon with a small escort to use
his personal influence with the tribes of
J the Upper Nile that he should be aceom
! panisd with an army of sufficient
j strength to enable him to issue an ulti
j matuin aud enforce his views at the point
of the sword. If proclaiming El Mahdi's
i uprising a rebellion by the highest Islam
authorities has no moral effect on his fol
! lowers, it is not likely that the personal
; influence of Gen. Gordon, who is a recog
i nized unbeliever, will accomplish an>-
| thing with the ignorant and fanatical
people of that country, who are united
with the False Prophet, not only by a
Mind faith in his divinity, but by a natu
ral love of plunder.
What the outcome oi the .Soudan rebel
lion nil! be it Is impossible to conjecture.
Much de’K-iuls on El Mahdi’s ability as a |
commander and rider. From the present ;
rgatus of affair.: it appears, uuless the
C hristian pow rs interfere in the inter
ests of peace and humanity, that he will
at least have a fair chance of spreading
his conquests and docrines over the whole
Mohammedan world. No doubt his pur
suit of the slave trade will be the strong
est factor in securing his eventual deleat
and destruction, but it is not likely that
this end can be accomplished without a
long and bloody war.
Work for a Government Commis
sion.
The New York Jlaritin, <• Register dis
cusses in its last issue the causes of tires
in cotton cargoes. It splits that these
tires, in ni *t case?, are mysterious. It is
inclined to think that they are largely due
to carelessness. The Register takes the
ground that it is about impossible to
prevent th se wh are engaged in load
ing cotton from smoking while on ship
board. They will evade the strictest
; rules, and. besides the danger from their
| pipes, they always carry matches, an
| other source of danger. The Register
, enumerate-other supp ‘*ed causes of these
j fires, and expresses the opinion that there
i mav ‘-e caus- s that have not been sus
pected. In order that the real causes of
j fires ot this character may be
j discovered, it suggests the appointment
j of a government commission to make an
j exhaustive inquiry. It says: “The sub
j ject is certainly of sufficient importance
to warrant this investigation. It is hardly
' t) be expected that the merchants at any
: one port will do it. or that any one class
interested—say merchants, or underwrit
; ers. or shipowners—will take the matter
in hand. As there is, therefore, some
j cause yet unexplained for many of the
fires in cotton cargoes, and as the matter
i is an important one. relating really to
i public interest, for it involves the safety
of human lives as well as that of property,
and as it is confined to no one port and to
no one State, it is clearly the duty of Con
gress to appoint a proper commission to
take up this work and try and solve the
mystery.”
A Gootl Bill.
It is stated m our dispatches that the
House Judiciary Committee will report fa
vorably the bill to pay United States Mar
shal* and District Attorneys salaries in
stead of fees. If the bill should be favorably
reported there is little doubt that it would
be passed by both the Senate and House.
A law such as is proposed in this bill is
very badly needed. The amount of money
in unlawful fees taken from the govern
ment will of course never be known, but
it must be very large. The Attorney Gen
eral, iu his annual report, showed some of
the evils of the fee svstem. and advised
salaries instead of fees. Brewster Came
ron, late General Agent of the Department
of Justice, in a statement made not long
ago. called attention to one instance where
a Marshal had collected over $->O,OOO in fees
for which he had not accounted. The fee
system has been the occasion of most of
the complaints against Marshals in the
South. Some of these Southern Marshals
and many of their deputies have trumped
up charges against citizens' and
harrassed them for no other purpose
than to make lees. If it had
not been for the fee system. Marshals,
District Attorneys and United States
Courts would not have been so unpopu
lar in the South since the war as they
have been. The honest officials have
been forced to suffer for the deeds of those
who were dishonest, and unfortunately
the dishonest officials appeared to have
beeu largely in the majority. The bill
ought to become a law.
It is proposed to celebrate the ter-cen*
tenary of the landing of Sir Walter Ral
eigh's expedition at Roanoke Island,
North Carolina, ou the 13th of July. Sen
ator VaDce has introduced a bill provid
ing for making the celebration a national
event. Unless our authority is at fault
Sir Walter's colony landed on Roanoke
Island in July, 1585. His first expedition,
however, reached Ocracoke Inlet in July,
1584. and explored Roanoke and Albe
marle sounds, but it returned to Eng
land, and he sent out the first
colony the following year. This was
thirty-five years before the Mayflower
pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, and
nineteen years before the settlement of
Jamestown, Ya. The settlers got into
difficulties with the Indians and returned
to England with Sir Francis Drake's fleet
the following year. Sir Walter sent out two
other colonies, which are supposed to
have fallen into the hands of the natives
and been exterminated. He formed ex
tensive plans for the settlement of North
Carolina, but never even saw the country
about which his agents brought the most
glowing accounts.
It is expected that the Kentucky Sena
torship question will be settled to-night.
The contest has been long and earnest,
but. as far as the outside world is in
formed. without any marked unpleasant
ness. Senator Williams has been in the
lead from the beginning, but it is not cer
tain that he will be the successful candi
date. It is stated that he has spent
over $50,000 in entertaining his friends
since the contest began. Doubtless this
statement is exaggerated. It is thought
that Carlisle can have the place if he will
permit his friends to announce him as a
candidate. It would be rather comforta
ble for him to step over into the Senate as
as soon as his term as Speaker expires.
Mr. Clinton, a distinguished New York
lawyer, says that Mr. Conkling has re
ceived a letter in whieh the writer tells
Mr. Conkling that he has.called a famous
trotting horse after him; that the horse
gives promise of going very fast, and th
owner expresses the hope that Mr. Conk
ling will go to the White House as fast as
the horse can trot. This little story need
not alarm Blaine, Sherman, Logan, and
the condidates for the reason that there is
no probability that Mr. Conkling will be
invited to ride behind a horse that
trots towards the White House. •
Pennsylvania Bowl Lighting.
Hazing is not confined to the I nitea
States Naval Academy. The practice is
yet quite common, though generally kept
tub rosa, in several of the leading univer
sities. A peculiar custom exists at the
University ot Pennsylvania—that of the
sophomore class putting the lowest honor
man of the freshman class in a large
wooden bowl, or rather attempting to o
so. The freshmen endeavor to rescue th
victim and to break the bowl and carry
the pieces away as trophies of the victory.
This results in the annual bowl fight. The
faculty on such occasions relaxes the
rules, and large crowds gather on the
campus to witness the tun.
The sophomore class is usually com
posed of larger boy 9 than the freshmen,
but this year the latter is unusually
strong. The tight this year took place
Thursday, and was one of the most ex
citing that ever occurred. As soon as the
name of the last honor man was an
nounced the sophomores made a dash for
him. and attempted to rush him out to tee
bowl. The freshmen seized their com
rade and attempted to carry him to a
place of safety. The mass of struggling
students surged across the campus and
against a fence which was swept out of
tne wav. and the fight continued in t e
streets! The noise and confusion was
such that the police remonstrated, but
the boys turned on them, captured their
clubs aud knocked off their caps. Two of
the students were arrested, and as they
were being carried to the station-house,
the others followed, stoned the officers
and veiled and fired off pistols, and other
wise terrified the whole neighborhood.
Oue man was shot and slightly injured,
but the shots were generally fired into the
air. The freshmen prevented the bowling
ot the lowest honor-man, and the
sophomores saved their bowl intact, so it
was a drawn battle. After the tight the
students looked like a crowd of ragged
tramps, and two of them were in prison
uuder the charge ot breach of the peace
and inciting to riot.
It is likely that the prisoners will not
be severely punished by the Police Court,
but the classes, as well as the I niveisity
authorities will be warned against a rep
etition of such riotous doings in the future.

The British Medical J&wmal says that while

registration, but even then it remains true
that the Irish are not a marrying people. The
marriages registered in I*2 were 22,029, being

Tunneling Under Difficulties.
_V<rie York Telegram.
A curious narrative of difficult engi
neering conics to us from France. It ap
pears that the railroad from Montauban
to Brive being authorized to run a tunuel
through the Mont des Cabanes, a distance
of a mile and a half (814 metres), the
workmen successfully pierced through all
of the distance but eight metres (26 feet)
during the rear 1881. The two years
which have elapsed since that time have
been occupied in effectual efforts to pene
trate the small distance remaining; inef
fectual on account of the constant depos
its of moistened earth, a sort of red phos
phate, which is renewed as fast as it is re
moved. though fifteen tons per hour have
been taken away during the two years.
The material appears inexhaustible, and
engineers from different parts of Europe
have, after careful inspection* given their
opinion that the task of completing the
tunnel is impossible. The pillars which
are used for supporting the roof of the
tunnel have to be constantly renewed, as
they become twisted and bent from the
heavy load upon them, this even being
the case with metallic columns. Several
persons have been killed during the pro
gress of the work, and a large number in
jured. Altogether the title giveu to the
work of “Le Tunnel Infernal” would not |
seem to be misplaced. The cost of rernov- j
in”’ the mud of the recalcitrant twenty
six metres has already amounted to 3,- ,
500,000 francs, and it is impossible to esti- 1
mate anything as to the future of this j
melancholy enterprise.

CRUSHED.
His Wife Says That Slie Doe* Not Wish
to Go With Him.
A great murder trial could not have at
tracted more attention than did the ha
beas corpus proceedings instituted yes
terday by J. B. Garrison, the living skele
ton, to determine why his wife, Bertha
E. Clear, says a Philadelphia special of
February Ist, had not been permitted to
visit him since the wedding day. tullv a
thousand people were gathered about the
old court house at 10 o’clock, when four
carriages. carrying the witnesses,
rolled down Sixth street and halted in
front of the dingy old temple or
justice. From one of the vehicles there
was extricated, with some difficulty. Miss
Ada Briggs, the fat woman. From an
other was lifted the skeleton, wrapped up
in an overcoat. Following him came the
Circassian beauty, and then the hght
ning calculator. Air. flagar, of the Lbme
Museum, stepped trom his carriage and
offered his arm to Miss Briggs. Mr. 1 er
ley, the handsome press agent, acted as
the escort of the Circassian girl, ihe
calculator walked by himself, behind a
stout young man who carried in his arms
the spectral complainant.
Judge Biddle hiul just disposed of a
petty criminal case when the procession
entered in this order. Miss Briggs smiled
sweetly, and cast a languishing look at
Counsellor Shields. The Circassian
opened her rose-bud of a mouth and dis
played a dazzling array of white teeth, to
the intense delight of several briefless
lawyers, who obtained a seat near her.
As for the b.,g o’ bones who caused all the
excitement, he was dumped into a hign
chair, and sat there in a helpless sort of
fashion, with his hat on.
The proceedings were verv brief, con
sisting simply In Counsellor Shields reat.-
ing his return to the writ of habeas cor
pus. and then stating that the young ■wo
man, who was ju court, hadjsaid that she
was not deprived ot her liberty by her
father, and was free to go where she
pleased. “Then,” said Counsellor Hev
erin, “that ends the case.”
Judge Biddle called the bride aside ami
questioned her privately. She said that
she wished to go with her father. The re
sult was that she left the court room with
her father, without once looking at her
shadowy husband.
“Goodness,” whispered the fat wo
man, to her companion curiously when
the crier called up another case, “is it all
over? Why 1 thought they were going to
examine me. I should be delighted to hear
that handsome lawyer talk. Don’t you
think he’s sweet ?’’
“Just too elegant for anything,” an,
swered the Circassian, turning her won
drous orbs in the direction of the attorney
for the complainant; “his moustache is
simply magnificent.”
Then the fat woman got up and wad
tiled out, and was hoistc-il into the car
riage by the united efforts of Mr. l’erley
and Mr! Hagar, a feat that was loudly
applauded. The smiling Circassian and
the calculator got in the hack together,
and after the wifeless attenuation had
taken his place, the party drove off and
were soon lost to view.
I‘EItSONS WHO LIVE OX RAIL
ROADS.
Steady Travelers Thoroughly Equipped
and Perfectly at Home.
There is a distinct railroad population,
says the New York Sun, that is constant
ly growing. It is composed of commer
cial travelers, lecturers, show agents, ac
tors and actresses. They eat more meals
in hotel cars and railroad meal stations
than they do at home or in hotels. They
spend more nights in sleeping car bunks
than in beds. To a person who travels
only occasionally it is interesting to note
how thoroughly equipped these profes
sional journeyers are. L'pon entering a
sleeping car early in the evening, for in
stancy. they remove their shoes aud put
on slippers, hang their hats up aud don
silk traveling caps, take off their coats
aud put ou short sack coats er smoking
I jackets.
In the morning, when the occasional
traveler, obliged to wear the only cloth
ing he has brought, goes to the toilet com
partment in his coat and vest, and thus
struggles in an effort to cleanse his skiu
without soaping his sleeves or his coat
collar, these professionals again excite
his envy. They come along all smiles,
having slept well, and feeling perfectly at
home. They hang up their smoking jac
kets and display snowy white robes, or
namented with colored binding and braid
and capable of being thrown open at the
neck and rolled up above the elbows.
From a pocket in the suspended jacket
one produces an ivory backed brush and
costly comb, a tooth brush, and perhaps a
nickel-plated soap box. Another opens
out a prettily embroidered receptacle,
composed of,many folds, each one a pock
et and each one labeled. In these pock
ets are a comb, a (brush, a tooth brush,
shaving brush, soap box, pair of razor
cases, "nail brush, whisk broom, baud
glass aud cologne bottle. £ -
Their familiarity with their surrouud
in.s is as noticeable a part of their equip
ment. A glance out of the car window
is almost certain to reveal to them their
whereabouts when they arise or when
they are waked up, or are about to go to
bed. They carry time tables iu their
heads, and give good advice as to which
station has the best caterer. They are
I sociable and democratic. FYiur men who
| never saw one another before meet in a
j smoking compartment and know all about
j oue another in an hour. The news in the
: papers takes on anew interest when they
; discuss it, because they seem to know a
i great deal about all parts of the country,
and to have many acquaintances in all
the big cities. They appear to read all
the news, and to know which newspaper
is most apt to have it and to serve it at
tractively wherever the train stops long
enough for the uewsboys to board it.
THE TROUBLE AT ANNAPOLIS.
A Cadet Who Says the Affair Was of a
I’ersonal Nature.
A cadet who was an eye-witness to the
whole affair at the Naval Academy in
j Annapolis, on Saturday last, says: “The
quarrel was a private one between a first
class man and a lottrth class man. The
first class man reached out to take bold
| of the fourth class man, when the latter
struck him twice with a skate, afterwards
I running into a dark room and strikiug at
1 everybody that approached him. The
skates were taken from him and he was
j led into the corridor to have it out, but he
darted down the stairs and ran away, noth
ing more being seen of him until supper.
On leaving the mess hall a first class titan
stopped him and told him he supposed he
was ready to go to one of the upper floors,
away from the officer in charge, and give
satisfaction to the man he so cowardly
struck. He refused, and began to strike
out at the men around, who took hold ot
him to carry him to the first floor to fight
out the quarrel. The scuffle attracted the
attention of the officer in charge, and all
present dispersed. Cadet Craig was
assured that he should have always
fair play and only one to fight,
and that one the ntan he had al
teady hit, who is 10 pounds lighter than
he. The statement that anyone else was
hurt except the party struck with the
skates, is entirely incorrect. There was
no hazing connected with this difficulty
whatever.”
'•Are You Going to Kiss Me'?”
Belfaet (Me.) Journal.
If ever I go into anew locality again I
will study up my geography better than
I did this"time; for my ignorance got me
into a most uncomfortable position. As
the boat neared Sanford I was standing
with others on the deck, when a very
pretty young lady came up to me, and,
with a sweet smile on her face, looked
into miue with a pair of lovely eyes, and
asked: “Are you going to kiss me, sir?"
If someone had offered to lend me $lO I
could not have beeu more surprised, and
hardly knowing what to say, and in order
to gain a little time, I gasped out, "Par
don, Miss, what did you ask?” I
felt that she knew I heard her, but
she said sweetly, “Are you going to kiss
me, to-night?” There was no misunder
standing her this time. I heard her, and
60 did others, and I felt the blood rushing
into my face, and 1 stammered out: "I
would like to accommodate you, miss; I
would truly; but I have a wife and thir
! teen small children on board with me,
and it my wife should see- me kissing
• you—” “Kissing me, voh hateful old
thing! Who asked you to kiss me?” “You
i did!” I veiled; “you asked me twice!”
i "You old fool, I asked you if you were go
ing to Kissimmee City—Kissimmee City
to-night; don’t you know anything?” and
off she went, and if ever anybody felt
meaner than I did I would like to ex
change photographs with him.
Poisoned with Potash and Mercury
Is the tale of a large percentage of sick
people in the world; such a large number
in fact, that is is hard to tell whether
there are not as many victims to this
mineral poisoning as to diseases of the
blood and skin.
“I took potash,” said one, ‘‘and while it
partially dried up the eruption terapor
arilv, it came near drying up my vitality
lor all time. It drove the disease in my
system, only to break out again on some
other part of my body.”
To such sufferers Swift's Specific is the
remedy which is worth more than all the
world besides. It drives out the poison of
blood taint, eliminates this mineral poi
son, and builds up the general health.
