The negro departed but, report says, he was found dead near tho Tennessee line the next day. BLOWN INTO ETERNITY. The Fearful Result of a Premature Powder Blast in Lancaster. Lancaster, S. C., July 11.—A very sad accident occuired on the Georgia, Carolina and Northera railroad in the county of Lancaster Friday* evening, resulting in the death of night negroes and wounding mor tally* one white man, besides wounding a number of others. Tho party, with others, were at work grading on the lino of the said railroad, and the accident occurred by a premature pi >wder blast. The drill hole became choked after a large quantity of powder had been put in and the overseer attempted to unchoko it by running down a steel drill, which, it is thought, struck a i*ook, causing the pivwder to ignite, ivhilo the party unawares were all near by. Three of the negroes were blown tip 300 feet in the air anil mangled all to pieces, and five were covered up and mashed to death by* dirt and rock. The overseer was not killed, but he is mortally wounded. Two mules were killed and others were crippled. Other men were injured, but it is thought not seriously*. All of t hese negroes la borers from Virginia, except one, who was from Lincolnton, N. C. The overseer is from North Carolina and hi*name is A. Gee. All the slain men were working on the railroad under IVlight Bros. The Coroner held nil inquest over the dead bodies, and the verdict of the jury was in accordance with the facts above stated. POISON IN BREAD. The Mystery of the Sudden Deaths in Two Families Solved. Philadelphia, July 11. —Coroner Ash bridge this afternoon began an inquest be fore the sjavutl jury in regard to the deaths In the families of I/>uis Deitel nnd George Palmer, as is supposed from eating poisoned tea buns made by Palmer, who is a baker. The iuquest was upon two children of each family*. There was no difficulty in proving liberal use of baker Palmer’s goixls. He himself testified to using chromate of lead in several of his products. He stated that since May 10,1884, six doatlis had occurred in his family. He first <-onimenoed the use of chrome yellow alxiut five years ago. He heard that other bakers used it. He bought it from ad ealer in bakers’ sup plies. A salesmen from whom the witness bought chromate, said other bakers used it. His practice was to dissolve the chromate In half a pint, of water, and then take a table spoonful and put, it in the dough. The chemist who analyzed portions of the bodies of the dead children, testified to discover ing proofs of lead poison. The verdict was that the deaths or four persons were un doubtedly due to chronic lead ixiisoning, and that the poisoning resulted from the use of chromate of lead. Baker Palmer was held in $2,000 bail to await the action of the grand jury. LOVE ENDS IN DEATH. A Stern-Hearted Parent the Cause of His Daughter’s Suicide. Asheville, N. C., July 11.— Miss Viola Meets, daughter of a prominent citizen of Graham county, was to have been married on Sunday, July 3, to John Ammons, of tho same county, Tho match was opposed by* tb*‘ father of Miss Meets, who armed himself on the day of the proposed wedding anil swore thut ho would kill Ammons if he ap peared on bis premises.

Edward Collinbon A STRIKE ON THE “L." j Engineers Stop Traffic on the Road in Brooklyn. New York, July ll.—At 4 o’clock this afternoon the engineers and firemen on the Brooklyn Elevated railroad struck, and traf fic on tho line was wholly suspended. Enter a few trains were run by some of tho higher officials in the engineer department of tho road. Trouble has been brewing lie tween the engineers and management for some time. This morning nine engineers were dis charged, and the Brotherhood of Engineers at once appointed a committee to wait on the management and demand that the dis charge! employes be reinstated, i Minding ar bitration. This was refused. The Brother hood then ordered the men to tie up. At 4 o’clock this was done, the men obeying to a man. Chief Arthur, of the National Brotherhood, has been telegraphed for and will come on at once to take charge of the strike. It is rumored that the discharge of the nine men was owing to a desire for economy which the engineers and firemen would not concede to bo just. A COMPLETE SURPRISE. The strike was a complete surprise to every one. At that hour the trains are loaded with passengers on their way from business ami work in New York to their homes in Brooklyn. No better hour could have been selected. The result was a terri ble crush at the Brooklyn end of the bridge and Pulton Ferry. Thousands were thus stopped on their journey homeward. The Directors wore at the office at East New York at 0 o’clock to-night, still consulting as to the course to pursue, hi the mean time, the great crowds at the lower end took to the surface roads and gradually melted away. Five trains were running on the road at 10 o’clock to-night. The strikers number thirty-six, half engineers and half firemen. Grand Chief Arthur, who was telegraphed for, has gone to Dakota on ac count of troubles there. Both sides are de termined to win. COKE REGION PATRIOTS. They Protest to Gov. Beaver Against the Pinkerton Men's Presence. Pittsburg, July ll. —A Uniontown (Pa.) special says: Tho meetings held by the striking cokers throughout the region dur ing the last forty-eight hours indicate that they are still determined to stand out for an advance. Out of 390 votes at West Leisan ring only 20 favored a resumption at the old wages. The operators are not feeling as jubilant as on Friday, but they are firm, and assert that if work is not resumed this week by the strikers other men will be put to work and additional Pinkerton men brought into the region. MINERS IN CONVENTION. The Miners’ District Assembly of the Knights of Labor is holding a convention here, which will bo in session several days. At to-dny’s meeting resolutions were passed, denouncing the importation of Pinkerton’s forces, and calling upon Gov. Beaver to re move the Pinkerton men from the region, as their presence reflects on the coke workers’ loyalty to good government, is a menace to their tomes, and an insult to their patriot ism. They also tendered their services to the Sheriff and local authorities to preserve and maintain good order. To Stop Working Hides. Newark, N. J., July 11—-After July 30 twenty-seven leather manufacturers of this city will stop working in hides. Tho rea son for this action by the Executive Com mittee of the Leather Manufacturers’ Asso ciation of New Jersey is that there is too mirth leather made up. On the other hand it is understood that this is a fight against the Knights of Lalior, and that when work' is resumed it will Ist with non-union men. Iron Mill glands Strike. Cincinnati, July 11.—This afternoon the workmen in the Swift Iron and Steel Works iu Newport, Ky., walkod out and re fused to work. The assignee of E. L. Har per on July 1 granted them ati increase of 10 per cent, in wages. The assignee to day withheld <> tier cent, of that increase. This was the mill owned and operated hj* E. L.

Philadelphia, July 11.—The LVr.t.i to morrow will sa>*: “The Executive Board of the Miners’ and Mine Laborers’ National Federation has just issued an appeal to tho miners all over the country to rise up and overthrow the methods pursued by the miners and mine laborers of National Dis trict Assembly No. 135, Knights of Labor.” Ice Men Strike. New York, July 11.—A general strike of the ice men in tlie employ of the Kuiek erliocker. Consumers, and New York ice companies took place to-dny. The strike lnstixl only until noon, when the companief granted the men’s demand, and the ice fam ine from which storekeepers and house keepers had suffered duriug tho forenoon was brought to an end. Laborers Held in Bail. Rochester, N. Y., July 11.—Police Jus tice Keeler to-day held fifteen of tho men who attacked the laborers of Gorham & Goodman to nwait the action of the grand jury. Among them were Atnorv Rotlike and Jobu Kleck, master and secretary of the Laborers’ Assembly, Knights of Labor. Bail was fixed at £l,OOO in each ease. Bricklayers in Demand. Chicago, July 11. —The demand for brick layers seems to be in excess of the supply, owing to the fact that so many journey men loft the city during the strike’and to tlie immeuso amount of accumulated work. The men are rapidly returning to work, and the indications are that within a few dnj*s the}* will all be employed. Sounds Improbable. Chicago, July 11.—A Port Huron, Mich., special savs: “The United States Custom House Collector here this morning stopped thirty Canadians from working on the Grand Trunk railroad. A number of theso were employed In prominent positions.” IN A HEAP ON THE TRACK. Jockeys and Horses Go to the Ground at Brighton Beach.

TTTE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1887. THE COMING ECLIPSE. I American Expeditions to View It in Russia and Japan. Vnnci'uvt r ( H. C > l,rtter to Phitatlclphin i Vez.'\ When the National Academy of Sciences determined to send Prof. David P. Ttxld, director of the Amherst College Oliserva tory, to Japan to oliserve the total eclipse of tho sun which is predicted to occur upon Aug. IS, it required but little persuasion on bis part to induce me to accompany the party as its naturalist. More or less familiar for years past with the strangely composite flora and fauna of the Jap anese islands, not only through reading, but by the study of specimens from time to time coming into my possession, I hailed the in vitation of my friend with unfeigned satis faction, and looking up “thanked my stars'’ for the favorable conjunction of sun and moon, which, while casting a dee)) black shadow upon the earth, is destined, I hope, to throw light upon several questions which have exercised the minds not only of astrono mers, but also of naturalists. THE COMING ECLIPSE. At the outset it may be proper for me to briefly give an account of tho phenomenon which is drawing u.s from our Western homes to the far-off East. The eclipse which is about to occur is remarkable on ac count of the length of the land-line traversed by the shadow of the moon. Pew eclipses have, during the present century, furnished so many points or observation to the astrono mer; as their pathway, even when equally long, has been projected upon the surface of the ocean. The shadow of the moon upon the present occasion will strike the earth first at Berlin. Tho eclipse will be total there a few moments after sunrise. Owing to the early hour at which totality will lie reached at Berlin, this point is deemed high ly unfavorable for purposes of observation. Not only is the hour inauspicious in itself, but the low lying mists and the refraction of the atmosphere of the earth are calcu lated to vitiate observations. The shadow track will run to the Northeast from Berlin, traversing Russia, passing near Moscow, crossing tho Ural Mountains into Siberia aad leaving its dark mark upon the blue waters of Lake Baikal, near its centre. Its course will be still eastward over Mantschuria, south of Vladiwostoek, bend ing gradually southward across the Sea of Japan and striking Hondo, the main island, atNugata. The course of the shadow Mill be in a southeasterly direction from Nugata across the island, which it will leave at 51 i to, northeast of Tokio, the capital. At Tokio the eclipse will be nearly, but not quite total. The only large city upon the globe which will bo favored with a vision of t ho eclipse at the time of totality is the Ger man capital, though many large towns and villages lie along tho central pathway of darkness. Tho shadow of the moon will leave the earth some hundreds of miles southeast of Japan in tho Pacific Ocean. In Russia the eclipse will occur in the forenoon. At Lake Baikal the sun will be hanging in the noonday heavens at the time of totality. In Japan the eclipse takes place between 3 and 4 o’clock, local time. The duration of the total phase, while not among the longest on record, compares favorably with those observed during the present century. At Lake Baikal the dura tion of totality will approach four minutes. It will diminish eastward and westward from this point. In Japan tho duration of tho total phase of the eclipse will be three minutes and fifteen seconds. The eclipse will be most fully observed in Russia, that, being the point most easily reached by European astronomers. A num ber of observing parties will be made up among the Russian astronomers, under the general direction of Dr. Otto von Struve, Director of the Imperial Observatory at Pulkova. A number of German, French, Italian and English astronomers will watch the eclipse at different points in Russia. AMERICAN OBSERVING PARTIES. Two parties will leave America for tho purpose of viewing the eclipses. Prof. Young, director of tli.i Princeton Observa tory, is the astronomer in charge of one of these expeditions and will be accompanied by his colleagues, Prof. Brackett and Mc- Neill. They will make observations north east of Moscow under the auspices of Dr. Struve. The other American expedidion, and the only one of any nation which will make observations in Eastern Asia at the eastern end of the line of totality, is sent out in charge of Prof. To ld, under the ausp.ioes of the National Academy of Science and United States Nautical Almanac Office, of which Prof. Simon Newcombe is Superintendent. Prof. Todd is accompanied by his accom plished wife. Tho botanical and zoological works of tho expedition will be in the charge of the writer. The work of the Japan expedition being designed to be largely photographic, an at tempt being in contemplation to secure larger photographs of the corona of the sun than have j et been made, tho expedition will be reinforced upon its arrival by a number of photographers whose services will be secured in Japan. The exact point of observation will be de termined upon arrival in Tokio, where ac cess may tie had to the extended series of meteorological records which havo been kept for a number of years in the same manner in whirls such records are kept by the United States army signal office. The location will, however, most probably be at Nikko, the burial place of the Hliogems, concerning which the Japanese have a say ing, “Let no man say the word beautiful till lie has seen Nikko,” and where not onlj* is there a salubrious climate, but a suf ficient elevation above the sen fogs to secure a good sky. Nikko is about ninety miles northwest of Tokio, iu the interior. Other elements besides the me teorological enter into the determination of a site at which to set up the instruments of the expedition, one of the most, important being that of transjiortation. The instru ments which we carry with us weigh a full ton, so it will certainly not be easy to trans jKirt them over Japanese roads in the primi tive conveyances which are still in use in the greater part of the country. Think of toting a ton of telescopes upon traveling chairs! Another important matter will be to secure a point from which a telegraphic communication may be had with other points of observation. USING THE TELEGRAPH. Prof. Todd lias suggested that in ease any discovery requiring verification is made by observers to the \Y est they employ the tele graph to communicate with observers in the East, who will he in a position to verify or reject the discovery. This proposition to employ the telegraph in the manner indi cated was first nude by Prof. Todd in a paper published in the proceedings of tho American Academy of Arts ami Sciences for 1880, and be- since been renewed in a paper published in the American Journal of Science for March, 1887. It is a remarkable fact that the line of totality in tho case of the ap proaching ivlipso follows for nearly its en tire length the line of the Russian overland telegraph, which, reaching the sea at Vladi vostock, is connected with tho Japanese lines by cable to Hnkodndi and Nagasaki, Should the proposal of our astronomer be acted upon we shall have the remarkable scientific spectacle of a chase of the shadow of the moon around the earth by me ins of tho invention brought into Rung by the in genuity and executive powers of Henry, Morse, and Field. The special objects of search during the edit iso will bo the corona of the sun, and no doubt au effort will be made to verify the reported discovery of an intrn-meivuriul planet, to which the name of Vulcan has sometimes been hypothetically given by astronomers, THE ROUTE OK THE EXPEDITION. The route decided upon by the United State.-, Eclipse expedition is tlie latest opened to travel, and the shortest, both in the mat ter of distance and of time. The writer joined Prof. Todd at Winnipeg last Mon day, and despite a detention of thirty-three hours at Cnnmore, at, the entrance to the Rooky Mountains, reached Vancouver yes terday evening at, dusk. The delay at Can more was utilized most ngreeably'for pur poses of botmie and and entomological study. | and so far from being regarded as an unto ward event is gratefully remembered and is not set down against the officials of the great railway corporation, who could not foresee the sudden melting of the snow in the mountains, nor guard,against the com bination of circumstances which led to the partial destruction of their railway bridge at liuthil. But, little is as yet known by the traveling public of the wonders of the region I raversed by the latest of the sisterhood of trans continental rail war's. Familiar as the writer is with the mountain scenery of Switzerland, he does not hesitate to say that nowhere in Switzerland is there grander Alpine scenery tiian that which extends from Donald to Revelstoke and which is af terward encountered as the railway makes its wonderful descent through the canon of the Fraser to the sea. Here are Alps almost as high ns those of the Bernese Oberland, covered with eternal snow and ice. AMONG ALPINE SCENERY. Here are peaks as steep and awful in their sublime uplift as the YVeisshorn or the Matterhorn. Here are fields of virgin white covering these Western Alps as pure and beautiful as those which drape the Jung frau. Here are glaciers as long and broad as those which rivet the attention of the tourists in the Valais, and quite as accessi ble. Nowhere in all Europe is there scenery such as that which greets the eye upon the Fraser as it pours its stream, boiling like Niagara below the falls, through the crags which line either banks of the canyon and soar upward at times to the height of 3,000 to 4,000 feet until they are lost in the clouds which are wafted in from the Pacific by the warm Chenook winds. Tlie passage across the Pacific is made to and fro between Yokohama and Vancouver in far less time than between Ban Francisco and Yokohama. The Abyssinia, bound in, left Yokohama on May 81, at 7 a. in., and arrived in port at Vancouver on June 13, at about midnight. This was her first trip across the Pacific as the pioneer ship of the new Canadian Pacific lino. She brought in her'hold $1,500,000 of tea, silk and opium, which is being loaded here for shipment to Montreal. It will be the pleasant experi ence of the members of the United States Eclipse Expedition to make tho first run ever made from Vancouver to Yokohama upon an ocean steamer. Eighteen months ago Vancouver had no existence save in name. Not a house stood upon the spot. The terminus of the Canadian Pacific railroad was at Port Moody. On May 23 last the first through train from Montreal drew into Vancouver. The town now has a population of from 3,000 to 4,000 inhabitants, and trading in corner lots is going on briskly. The harbor ts magnificent, the accommodations for the traveling public good, and in a few years wo may confidently predict for this port an importance equal to that of Portland, Ore., if not to that of San Francisco. SEEKING A SERVANT. Some of the Obstacles Met in an Em ployment Agency. Marion Harland, in the New York Sun day World, tells of her experience while seeking a domestic in a New York employ ment agency. She sums up interviews with some of the women seeking places as follows, declaring that “not one incident in this re port is untrue or exaggerated “Ann McNair. Good cook. Poes not understand breadmaking, but is willing to learn. Can’t make pastry and is unwilling to fuss with it. Not much on soups and puddings. Never made cake or fancy des serts.

Quite soon more, when she the English do quite speak.’ Miss Marcella Montelroy, bright mulatto, up-stairs young lady, used to quality fami lies; shrinks from answering the doorbell on account of the inevitable ‘publibicious ness;’ is naturally very sensitive and alive to the perils to which a young, attractive girl is ‘subjective;’ cannot sweep on account of ‘heredital’ weakness of the waist: cannot ply the needle, through cerebral obstacles; to wash or iron, she is assured by her family physician, would lie ‘fatalistic;’ has ‘unpar alyzed’ references, and should command $25, but will take $l5 in a congenial home; at her last place, Braggadocio General Stalker’s, on Fifth avenue, always occupied a place at the domestic board with the family, but hardly hopes to meet with such considera tion everywhere.” A Family Blessing. Simmon's Liver Regulator—the favorite home remedy—is entirely vegetable, and is the purest and best family medicine that is compounded. No error to be feared in ad ministering, no injury from exposure after taking, no loss of time.
