the Cold. Cold Ground—Their
Injustice to the People.
Washington, Dec. 81.—There are two
first-class vetoes expected in the imme
diate future. One of these is expected
to lay fiat and cold the enormous job
embraced in what is known as the direct
tax bill. The second is the prospective
l iver and harbor bill. It has been unof-
ticiallv known for some time that Mr.
C'le . eland would oppose the direct tax
bill and entirely sympathize with the
men who filibustered to defeat it some
months ago. It is stated even now that
Cleveland is preparing a message on tho
subject, aud it will be apt to attract at
tention when it is published.
jt is stated freely here that Cleveland
consented to the last river and harbor
hi 1 very much against his w.U. While
the president believes that the important
coiiiH*<icyil arteries of the country
should tie taken care of by congress, he
/ is opposed to the log-rolling idea now
embraced in the river and liarbor bill,
it is beyond doubt that Mr. Cleveland is
very much pleased with the speech made
by Mr. Crain, of Texas, a few days ago,
when the river and harbor bid first came
up beioro the Louse. Mr. Crain voiced
the pied, ent ^sont meats exactly, so far
ns can be learned. Tnat is. he is in favor
of plenty of money for neces.ary public
improvements, but lie is opposed to the
b piandermg of money in creeks and
harbors that the engineers of the army
cannot mid when they are assi-ned
in execute the' will of congress. It is
t ought by ti.ose who seem to have the
n.ist wiivc: < o.nuiunication with the
preside nt that he is quite willing to ap
prove any expenditure of public money
where tho mmercinl interests of the
country require it. He has stated during
the past two w. e';s that lie would gladly
approve an appropriation of a million
for Galveston, < r two millions for New
"York; but his head wav ihaken with
splendid vivacity when the general ten
dencies and purpose* of the river and
harbor bid were brought to his mind. It
is oieii stated that in conver.atinn with
the > oiigre .men interested in the work
of nn.ionnl character, thut he advised
them semi officially to try and embrace
his views in a special bill and avoid the
general river and liarbor measure. Tiiij
conversation was had with a Texas con
gressma-i. It i, a sutr.ed to mean that
he intends to veto the river and harb t
bill.

two weeks ago.
On that date the murder in question
occurred at Evans', four miles telow
lireeiey. The details were of aim .Si

French, with his gang of men, who are

They found him with his wife and two

mers are especially interested in
studying what is called the sun's corona,
visible only on the very rare occasions
of a total solar eclipse, and therefore
.very seldom in a position for investiga
tion. The corona is a sort of halo seen
around the sun. consisting of streamers,
lays, beams of a faint yearly light
which 1 oks like the tails of comets. It
extends to a gieat distance around tho
sun, which, hidden by the moon, make*
a black circle in it. The astronomers
want to know the cause of the corona,
whether it indicates a very thin gaseous
atmosphere, whether it contains some
minute particles capab’e of reflecting
light. This is the greatest object of in
terest. but between the sun and the
corona there are blood-red portions of a
very slender ring called the ' red pronv
ineces."’ These are an interesting por
tion of the sight, and the scientists ar*j
going to study tljpsc.

San Francisco, Jan. 1.—Reports re
ceived here state tho eclipse of
the sun was visible to-day in nearly all
parts of the country. The eclipse,which
was total in this section, began at a
point 50 miles north of San Francisco
and extended irs a northwest direction.
This is the fir»t astronomical event of
importance in several years, and astron
omers made elaborate preparations to
take advantage of it, and very important
scientific results are expected tro.u the
Observations.
Special instruments were obtained for
observing the eclipse. Included in these
is a large Dalmyer photograph lt-n ,e,
built for the especial purpose of photo
graphing eclipses. It was manufactur
ed for the government for the eclipse of
1881. It was sent to Europe in 1887,
where it did good service. Another in-
s'rument.also loaned by the government,
is an equatorial telescope of very high
power, which was used in observing
contacts, studying the corona and swee,-
ig for the inter-mercurial ph.net know n
i Vulcan. A low power telescope was
used to make a drawing of the corona.
This was the first opportunity afforded
outrun mere for using the modern dry
plate process for pho.ogiaJiing an
eciipsc of the sun.
larlies are present from England,Ger
many, Russia, Ilarvaul college, Cam
bridge and the Lick Observation.
The government made no appropria
tion for observing the eclipse, and the
expense w as defrayed by private contri
butions.
Tlie eclipse began at Willows at 12:08
California time, and was total from 1:-I4
to 1:40.

New York, Jan. 1.—Frofessor David
B. Todd makes the following very inter
esting statement in regard to the eelip-C;
The calendar year 1883 has two total
solar eclipses—a thing unknown since
1712, and one which does not come
round again till the far away year of
2057.
The new year opens with a total eclipsi
the very first day. As appears from the
accompanying map it will be best ob
servable in Northern California. Total*
ity will come on between half-past one
and two o'clock, with the sun thus at a
good elevation, an-1 will last nearly two
minute* at all points close to the middle
of the path.
The second eclipse of 1880 occurs De
cember afid, and will be visible in French
Guinea and W estern Africa.
Pass a line toutherly, but veering well
to the cast from souihea-tern Montana,
through the northwest of Kansas, tlie
Indian territory, Da las and Galveston,
and tlie region will be shown along
which the eclipse is just coming to an
end as the sun goes below the horizon.
To the west of such line the whole of
the partial eclipse will be seen, while to
the ea.-t le-s and less will be visible of
the entire duration of partial eclipse.
Along the region f i oin Atlanta to Jack-
son, Houston ami Ceutial Mexico the
partial eclipse will be vidLle.
At all places on or near a line running
through the Apcs.le Island:, Chicago,
In.lii napolis, Louisville, Ma on an i Key
West, the sun will be setting at the time
when the eclipse is largest. Thus the
retreat of the moon from the face of the
sun will not be visible.
To the west of this line the eclipse
will be seen longer, the moon leaving
more and more of the sun uncovered at
the time the latter crosses the west ho
rizon.
However, to the east of the above
median line, the sun will have set before
the eclipse has advanced to its fullest—
less and less the further one goes to*the
east.
Draw a line through the southeast of
James Bay, Ottawa, and New York city,
and the ea-tern land limit of the partial
eclipse will be qui.e accurately shown.
At a'l places along this line tho sun will
be just setting as the edges of sun and
moon gu-e each other. 'Ihns one must
go a little to the west of this boundary
line if the minimum eclipse is to be ob
served.
In New England and the provinces to
tho east nothing can be seen of it.

~ Chicago, Dec. 31.—Shortly after
the election i: was announced that
Mr. B aine would n :.t care to take

Mr. bLrine was secretary of state under

line of railway along the ca::al has now
been con tructed from Easthum, in Che-

to Halford. A continuous railway from
enii to end will be of immense advantage
to the contractor in moving material.
The sections of the canal to Runcorn are

Tiie canal is being excavated chiefly

Caught While Eloping,
Columbia.N.Y., Jan.l.—An elopement
was suddenly checked near Greenville
last night. The youthful pair boarded tlie
fast train at Greenville, and were coming
toward this city in search of a preacher.
They were enjoying themselves on the
train and were affording entertainment
to the other passengers, wholly uncon
scious of tlie fact that the mother of the
girl was waiting at a waystation. \S ithout
pausing to count the re vi lutio.is of the
car wlit-eis, she made a flying leap and
landed iu the coach which con.ained the
young couple. It took her but a se.:oud
to grab the girl by tlie back of the neck,
administer a cuff on the young rum's
cheek, and jump from the cars into a
ditch with the girl. They rolled over
and over two or three times, and then
the old lady jumped up and shook her
fist at the flying train, while the girl
buried her head in the sand. The young
man has net yet recovered from the
shock.

that death to many is piefei able to liv
