WASHINGTON, D. C. MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ADVISERS. APPOrXTSIEVTS, DECISIONS, AND OTHER MATTEB3 OF INTEREST FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The board of the navy yard, the com¬ mandant, appointed to investigate the navy purchasing system, has adjourned after deciding that the present system is efficient and only minor changes in the direction of reducing the number of vouchers checks, etc., can be made with¬ out detriment to the service. The secretary of the navy decided Friday to revoke orders command! ig the Ossipee to convey Minister Douglas' from Norfolk to Hayti, it having been repre¬ sented that the Ossipee’s boilers are not in condition to make steam. The Ker sarge, now at New York, has been or¬ dered to perform this service. Governor Fowle, of North Carolina, in reply to the letter from the secretary of war, suggesting the removal of the In¬ dians at Mount Yernon barracks to the mountain sections of North Carolina, ex¬ presses disapproval of the proposition, settle¬ as that section is iu process of rapid that ment by the whites, aud suggests abandoned the Indians be located on the lands of Vermont. The secretary of agriculture, Rusk, has returned to Washington after au inspec¬ tion of mills for the manufacture of su¬ gar from sorghum cane by the new difu¬ sion process, which was lately subsidized by congress by an appropriation of 180,000, to encourage experiments iu the aew industry which now has about a dozen establishments in the United States. Secretary Rusk reports that the process looks like it will be a failure, and unless some improvements are made he is very doubtful about the profit of making sugar from sorghum cane. The Postal and Cable Telegraph com¬ all pany will open offices simultaneously over the soutli on Thursday. The com¬ pany is ten years old, and has fifteen or twenty thousand miles of wire, reaching from Portland, Me., to California. It has forty or fifty lines from New York to Chicago and has invested altogether $12 000,000. It is owned by McKay, the California bonanza millionare, whose wealth is estimated at thirty millions. The other leading stockholder is James Gordon Bennett, proprietor of the New York Herald. Postmaster-General Wanamaker has issued an order abolishing the postoflice at Luverney, Aia. A colored man was recently appointed postmaster, and the citizens, it is said, showed their appre¬ ciation of him by boycotting him in every way, and finally in burning down the old building which he had succeeded, with great difficulty, in securing for a postoffice. In view of these facts, Mr. Wanamaker decided that the 500 inhabi¬ tants of the place could go three miles for marl and do without a postoffice for a time. The president on Saturday appointed the following named postmasters: Charles C. Sbeats, at Decatur, Ala., vice L. H. Grubbs, commission expired; Fe¬ lix G. Lambreth, Florence, Ala., vice Bessie McCalister, resigned; Columbus, Browning, at Dalton, Ga., vice Jefferson T. Whitman, removed; JosephP. Smith, at Thomasville, Ga., vice H. M. Sapp, resigned; Thomas W. Hicks, at Hender¬ son, N. C., vice R. B. Henderson, re* moved; Mts. Ada Hunter, at Kingston, N. C., vice W. J. Barrett, removed; Samuel II. Vick, at Wilson, N. C., vice N. M. Gay, removed; D. J. Taylor, at Pocahontas, Va., vice J. L. Deaton, re¬ moved; John II. Blunt, at Ashland, Va., office having become presidential; Portsmouth, Am¬ Va., brose II. Lindsay, at vice W. A. Fiske, removed. A HUGE COMBINE. TENNESSEE AND ALABAMA CAPITALISTS TO UNITE IN A BIG SCHEME. A number of prominent Tennessee and Alabama capitalists have for several cays been iu consultation in Nashville, Tenn., with a view to organizing a mining and manufacturing company, which will be the largest in the south, exceeding even the Tennessee Coal and Iron company.

The plan embraces the con solidation of the LaGrange, -Stria, and Warner Furnace companies, the Roane Iron company, of Chattanooga, the Wayne County Iron company, and other properties, feix furnaces, now in opera¬ tion, are involved in the deal, and many thousand acres of fine ore lands in Hick¬ man, Stewart and Wayne counties. Th: main object is to manufacture charcoal, iron and” steel on a big scale, and to es¬ tablish a steel rail mill. The ultimate object is reported to be the consolida¬ tion of all the charcoal furnaces in Ten¬ nessee and Alabama in a tremendous combination. It is said that the amount of bonds to be issued with first instal¬ ment will be $3,000,000, and $6,000,000 of fitonks__ A BRIDAL COUPLE KILLED. AMBUSHED WHILE RETURNING FROM THEIR WEDDING TRIP.

THE STORM IN FLORIDA, A DISASTROUS STORM VISITS THE LAND OP FLOWERS—DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. Reports on Tuesday from various lo¬ calities in the state of Florida, indicate that Monday’s storm was a disastrous one to property. At West Jacksonville, four or five miles out in the country from the city of Jacksonville, three or four houses were blown down and two churches wrenched from their foundations. Through the outlying country for many miles, fallen trees were encountered everywhere, many of the monster moss hung oaks, which had withstood the storms of a hundred years, were pros¬ trated. At Switzerland, Panama, Park, Scotland, May port, New Berlin and sev¬ eral small settlements on St. John’s river, houses and trees were blown down. At the Sandhills hospital, made memo¬ rable by the epidemic of 1888, the main building was wrecked and the whole scene is one of ruin. CHICAGO’S PLUCK.

A MONTANA TOWN VISITED BY THE FIRB FIRE FIEND. A million dollar fire occurred Saturday at Butte, Mont. The district bufned ia ia the bu*in®ss porlion, and aptong the buildings burned are the Bowes block, the First National bank, Hennessy's dry goods store, Babcock’s hat store, Bernard block, Lamie’s shoe store. Several smaller establishments were also burned. Catching Lobster*. Formerly when lobster* were England plenti fnl inshore on the cdust of New they were readily hooks caught in the gre at end num- of here by gaffs or of whieh on they poles, by means from beneath shelving rocks. were hooked ont Another form of apparatus used in fish¬ ing was a small hoop pot or circular net over which a hoop was bowed. The net was two and a half or three feet in di¬ ameter, but was suspended the from The the hoop over the oontre of net. fisherman went out in his boat aud set several of these pots. Where lobsters were plentiful he had simply to go from one pot to the other, and, raising it up, find a Lobster in the net. Now, lath pots are used almost altogether in lob¬ ster fishing. They are semi-cylindrical with boxes, made of a frame covered lathing, with openings between the strips. The ends are covered with net¬ ting, with a funnel-sha'ped opening leading into the interior of the pot. Bait, generally a flounder, whose white side attracts the lobster, is attached to a stake inside the pot. The hungry lob¬ ster, spying the bait, try to enter the pot, and at length getting into the fun¬ nel, find easy access to tho interior. The lobster, however, cannot easily get out, as the small end of the funnel is on the inside. Many such pots will be set by a single fisherman, who will visit them during the day, haul them to the surface and take out the captives. In winter, when it is not convenient to visit the pots so often, another form of pot is used, which lias an additional pair of netting funnels inside. The lob¬ ster has to g® through two funnels to get at the bait. This greatly decreases his chance of escape. If the ordinary pot was used and not visited for many hours the chances are that the lobsters would get all the bait and make their escape. With two funnels to go tlirough, after passing through tho first, they are likely in their groping struggles to get free, simply to retrace tlicir steps aud pass back into tho central compartment through the hole they have come out of. —[Washington Star. A Horse's Musical Sense. Investigations as to the .musical sense of horses, Lave shown that that sense is very poorly developed jn those animals. It has been proven beyond a doubt that horses have no notion whatever of keep¬ ing time to music, and that at circuses they do not dance according to the tune, but that the musicians have to keep time according to the steps of the animals. Other investigations show that horses do not understand military trumpet signals. It is only the rider or the animal’s in¬ stinct of imitation which induces horses to make the moves required by the sig¬ nal, but no horse without a rider, bow ever carefully trained, takes the slightest notice of a trumpet signal, and tlm same observation has been made on a large number of cavalry horses without riders. Bees as Ventilators. A close observer of the habits of the habits of the bee says: “I cannot say whether it it is generally known that in India, and I»believe in other tropical what countries, there are in every hive one can only descritm as ventilating bees. I mean that during tho hot season two their or three bees post themselves, on heads, at the entrance of the hive and fan the interior with the incessant mo¬ tion of their wings. They are relieved at intervals by fresh bees, who carry on the process. They are kept to their duty by a sort of patrol of bees to insure their ceaseless activity, 'lliis is a well authen¬ ticated fact.” Marriage I* but the stepping-stone to those divine insti¬ tutions, tho family and the home, which which con¬ stitute the very foundation on our na¬ tion rests; and upon tho health and strength and of the wdfe, and mother, depends the sunshine of en the Joyment family. of ti e home, and the wives, prowpi ri thousands ty Thousand* of Mat existence of in sijgle ladies, drag out aweary “fe¬ consequence of perplexing male disorders,” in total ignorance of the fact, that Dr. Pierce'6 Favorite Prescription is a stinate positive cure for tho most complicated and ob¬ oases of leucorrhea, prolapsus, weak back, “female bearin',!-down weakness,” anteversion, chronic retro¬ version, inflammation, sensations, congestion, dred ulceration and kin¬ ailments.
