ORDER OF THE HOLY CROSS.
The Convent and Monastery for the High
Church Episcopalians of New York.
New York, January 27 —The corner
stone of the Chapel of the Holy Cross was
placed yesterday but without much cere
mony, though it had been intended to make
the occasion conspicuous. The reason for a
change of programme is the controversy
which has sprung up in the Protestant
Episcopal Church on the question of-cel : -
bacy in clergymen. This chapel is to be
used by the Order of the Holy Cross,
of which a son of Bishop Hunt
ineton became the second member a
few weeks ago. The vows of perpetual pov
erty and chastity were imposed upon him
by Assistant Bishop Potter, which official
act is severely criticised by other bishops
The scheme of which this is a part has not
heretofore been published. The incorpo
rators of the mission are the Rev. Dr.
Houghton, famous as rector of the Little
Church Around the Corner, young Hunt
ington and another. It is located in the
midst of East Side squalor. A fund of
$35,000 has already been subscribed
by Fif.h avenue people, to whom Hunt
ington has been socially known,and in whom
his ascetic bent has caused great surprise,
because it was supposed that he had made a
cho ce for a wife. The institution is to be a
nunnery, as well as monastery. The Sisters
of St. John the Baptist, an Episcopalian
order, founded by the Rev. Dr. Dix, of
Trinity Church, are to minister there, and
the brethren of the Order of the Holy Cross
are to be recruited unless the opposed senti
ment becomes so strong as to bring about
official discountenance, as now seems likely
WEST VIRGINIA STORM SWEPT.
Houses and Ba’ns Blown Down—Live
stock Killed—Great Damage.
Wheeling, W. Va , Jan. 27.—Papers
arriving from the interior of the State last
night and this morning bring the first de
tails of the great storm which swept the
central portion of the State, doing immense
damage. Fences are leveled for miles. The
live stock in many barns and sheds were in
jured or killed by the falling of the build
ings. No loss of human life is recorded,
though narrow escapes were numerous
At Winfield, Putnam County, the
house of Colonel McLean was badly dam
aged. Thomas Harmon’s birn was blown
down; loss, SI,OOO. The Putnam Democrat,
published at Winfield, estimates the damage
there atslo,ooo. It says the storm wrecked
the jail kitchen and badly damaged the
building used by the County Clerk. The
jail is rootle s, and its only occupant crawled
out unmolested. Showen’s grist mill, on
Poco river, is completely ruined; loss, $4,000.
In Braxton, Lewis, Mason, Kanawha,
Raleigh, Tyler, Roane, Wirt and other
counties similar damage was done. An im
mense tree was blown on the house of Alfred
Sisson, near Point Pleasant, and crushing
through the roof imprisoned Sisson and his
wife in bed until the next day, when neigh
bors released them. The loss in the State
will aggregate $50,000.

THE LATE LONDON EXPLOSION
Indignation Against the Irish Continuer.
London, Jan. 27—The morning papers

Some of the letters are from laborers, stat
ing that many employers notified the Irish
men in their employ the first thing
yesterday morning, that their
services were no longer required.

ROSSA AND HIS GANG.
They Exhibit Savage Glee When Told of
the Outrages In London.
New York Special.
When O’Donovan Rossa was told about
the explosion in the houses of Parliament in
London, he said he was glad to hear the
news; that the houses of Parliament ought
to have been blown up Ipng ago, and that he
had preaching and collecting money to fight
England with for the past five years. The
sooner England, he said, was crippled, the
better.
“How doyou like it?” asked the reporter.
“It’s good.”
“Are you surprised?”
“Oh, no 1”
“Rather like it, I suppose?”
“Very much.”
“What does it mean ?”
“It means that they are now at work and
mean to keep it up.”
“Were to-day’s explosions the result of
any prearrangement on this side of the At
lantic?”
‘ Not that I know of. I expect now that
there will be a series of dynamite opera
tions in various parts of England and simul
taneously. There will be no let up now,
and we will keep the government very busy
over there. We are determined to wage a
war that will eventually free Ireland, and
we shan’t spare the use of dynamite.”
“It is believed that you are directly re
sponsible for these continued dynamite op
erations on th*other side. What have you
to say to that ?”
“I don’t care what they say. They may
i call me a dynamite fiend and agitator, and
■ all that, but it don’t affect me any more
than throwing water on a duck’s back.”
“Some people consider you a dangerous
man, and want you arrested and put out of
the way?/
“Perhaps they do; but they can’t do it.”
As the reporter started to leave, Mr.
i Rossa rubbed his hands and reiterated his
satisfaction with the news of the day, de
claring that he hoped the Parliament
buildings will be soon blown up with all the
members of both houses, including the Irish
party, who deserve the fate for still holding
their seats.
Austin Ford, one of the editors of the Irish
World, when told of the explosion, s id:
1 “Explosion! What, explosion?” sail Mr.
Ford, os he calmly got up from his desk.
“In London/'was tne answer.
He came forward, his eyes brightened,
and his hand silently clenched “England
has brought on all the disasters, the crimes,
■ the tyranny and the terrors that make it
1 quake,” he said. “She has sown the seeds
of tyranny and oppression, and is now reap-
■ iug the whirlwind. England must blame
herself for all this dynamite trouble. For
. over seven hundred years she
has oppressed and ground down
Ireland, put a standing army thereof 60,000
soldiers, enforced obnoxious laws, encour
aged brutality, and without a conscience,
without religion, like vandals of old, en
slaved a brave race of people. The explo
sion to-day may cause the gray hairs of
Gladstone to tremble, and give warning of
1 the feariul wrath and desperate methods
enslaved people resort to to gain liberty.
My views are nearly the same as those of
M'chael Davitt and Redmond.”
“Do you approve of the dynamite
• m"tuod?”
• “I don’t say. England is to blame, what
ever is blown up.”

THE TOWER OF LONDON
THE BUILDING THE DYNAMITERS
TRIED TO DESTROY.
An Historic Edifice That is World Re
nowned— Interesting History of the
Fortress Distingul shed Prisoners
Who Have Been Confined There—
A Marvelous Narrative.
As related in our late dispatches the dy
namiters succeeded in partially destroying
this famous edifice—a relic of antiquity.
The Tower of Lindon is supposed to have
been commenced by Julius Casar. Although
most writers say that William the Conqueror
first commenced it in 1078, still we have
the authority of Shakespeare for saying it
was begun by the Roman Gentr.l. In
Richard 111, Act 3, scene 1, Prince Edward
says:
“I do not like the Tower of any place,
Did Julius Ctesar build that place, my lord?
Gloster. He did, my gracious lord, build
that place,
Which, since, succeeding ages have re-edifled.
.Prince. Is It upon record ? or else reported
Su<c sslvely, from age to age, he built it.?
Upon record, my gracious
lord.
This celebrated fortress is situated at the
eastern extremity of the city, about two
miles and a quarter in a direct line from the
Houses of Parliament, where the other ex
plosions occurred, and is separated
Irom the thickly populated portion of the
city by what is called Tower Hill. It
covers about twelve acres of ground, and is
surrounded by a moat, which, since 1843,has
been used as a garden. On the river side is
an entrance called the Traitor's Gate,
through which persons of state were con
veyed to boats after their trial. Within the
famous structure are numerous buildings,
including the Barracks. Armorv, Jewel
house, White Tower, S f . Peter’s Tower,
Bloody Tower, where Richard 111. mur- ;
dered his nephews; the Bowyer Tower, ,
where the Duke of Clarence was drowned in I
a butt of Malmsey; the Prick Tower, in ,
which the Lady Jane Grey was confined; I
the Beauchamp Tower, the prison of Anne
Boleyn, and numerous other buildings.
In addition to the Tower’s original use
as a fortress, it was the residence of the
monarchs of England down lo the time of
f Elizabeth, and a prison for State criminals;
and numerous are the kings, queens, war
riors, and statesmen who have been impris
oned and murdered within its walls. The
histories of Lady Jane Grey, Catherine
- Howard, Anne Bo'eyn, Sir Walter Raliegb,
i Lord William Russell, the Proctector
> Somerset, Sir Thomas Moore, William
Wallace and King John of France, do they
. not live in the remembrance of every his—
; torical reader? Queen Elizabeth’s Army,
. filled with arms and relics, is located with-
> in the walls of the White Tower, which are
fourteen feet thick. The room in which
Sir Walter Raliegh was immured, is here
shown; he was confined three different times
in the Tower, and here his son Carew was
born. The Lion Tower, on the right, was
for 600 years the royal menagerie; the an
imals remaining were removed to the
Zoological Gardens in the reign of Wil
liam IV.
The jewel house contains all the crown
jewels of England; they are enclosed in an
immense case. Prominent among them is
the crown made for the coronation of Queen
Victoria at an expense of about $600,000. I
Among the profusion of diamonds is the I
largest ruby worn by the Black Prince; the
crown made for the coronation of Charles |
II; the crown of the Prince of Wales and I
that of the late Prince Consort; crown made j
for the coronation of the Queen of James
11, also her ivory sceptre; the coronation
spoon and bracelets, royal spurs, swords as
Mercy and Justice, are among the other
jewels. Here, too, is the silver-gilt baptis
mal font, in which is deposited the christen
ing water for the royal children, and the
celebrated Koh-i-noor diamond, the present
property of Queen Victoria and the object
of great interest at the great exhibition in
H>de Park in 1851. It formerly belonged
' to Runjeet Singh, Chief of Lahore, and was
called the “ Mountain of Light.”
Thanks to such intelligent students as
Mr. Dixon, we know almost as much of the
Tower’s history as the ancient stone walls
themselves. From the days of the Con
, querer, the tyrannical Norman King who
. caused that famous military architect, Gun
dulph, Bishop cf Rochester, to build the
Middle Tower, we have the complete story
of the Tower befo'e vs. To use the words
of that Countess of Somerset who, with her
husband, poisoned Overbnry and subsequent
ly occupied the prison in which he had been
confined, the place is “full of the ghosts of
the dead.”
In the White Tower, with its watch
towers at each angle, and its walls fifteen
feet thick, was imprisoned Maud, the third
daughter of Earl Fitzvalter, that s’out
; baron who, to avenge the King’s treatment
of his cnild, compelled him to sign Magna
i Charta at Runnymede. Here, in a dun
geon, compared to which the Black Hole at
Calcutta would be a palatial residence, was
i imprisoned Guy, or Guido Fawke; and
here was the prison home of the seven
bishops, at whose knees even the soldiers of
the guard fell, imploring their benediction,
while the room was crowded with prostrate
■ spectators asking a blessing. The perse
’ cuted prelates were lodged in the Earl of
Leicester’s Tower, where Heriot first ob
i served the satellites of Jupiter.

KILLING HIS FORMER FRIEND.
Daniel E. Stanton’s Story of How He was
Held Down in Front of a Train.
Daniel E. Stanton, of Mystic, Ct., has sent
to Cooley’s Weekly, of Norwich, a confiden
tial account of how Fred P. Nash was killed
by him in Philadelphia in October last.
Stanton has successfully eluded the pursuit
of the police ever since the tragedy, and his
whereabouts is still a mystery. His story be
gins with an accountofhis acquaintance with
Nash, who was of Mexican birth, and, it ap
pears, was sort of a pensioner upon his
bounty, although they had been acquainted
only about a year. Stanton had consider,
able money. They boarded together in
New York, and one night, accorkingto
Stanton, Nash stole S4O from his pocket
while he thought Stanton was asleep. Stan
ton afterward of designs against him, and
tried to get away from him, but Nash fol
lowed him to Philadelphia.
On account of his fear of Nash, Stanton
had procured a revolver. He became very
sick in Philadelphia, and started back for
New York, Nash going along, but was forced
to alight from the train at the Sixteenth-1
street station in Philadelphia, and go in
seach of a physician. Nash led him upon
the railroad track. There they had a
quarrel, started by Nash. Stanton tells what
followed in these words:
Hurling a volley of Spanish oaths at me,
he caught me around the waist, and with
bis full strength forced me backward upon
the track, dealing me a severe blow in the
face, and holding me there with his foot on
my breast. The trains had been passing
every few minutes, anß, looking to my right,
I saw the headlight of an engine not more
than two hundred yards away, coming at
full speed. I realized his purpose, drew my
revolver, and pointing it fuli in his face,
cried, “Letup, Nash, or I’ll shoot.”
He replied: “Shoot away.” I took steady
aim at his arm and fired, believing that
, when he saw it was loaded, he would let go,
I and intending at the most to disable him.
[ He, however, jumped, caught my wrist, and
endeavored to wrench the revolver away
from me. I held it fast, and as the train
' was now close upon me, fired three shots in
[ rapid succession, aiming as best I could.
’ Nash sank backward from the track, and I
I jumped up just in time to save mys If. It
.! was a freight train. The corner of the for-
I ward car struck me in the side, inflicting a
’ j slight bruise. I stood a moment irresolute
what to do. I saw Nash get up, climb over I
the fence, ami make toward the street. He
did not call for help. I concluded he was
‘ not injured much, and, picking up the cane
’ I had let fall, walked to the depot, and
there took a car for the city.
1 Stanton then tells how he was surprised
to see in the newspapers the next morning
that he was branded as a murderer. His
’ first thought was to give himself up, but he
reflected that the circumstantial evidence
! would be against him, and, after keeping
1 ont of the way for a week, sailed from New
York fora foreign country. He adds that
’ if he ever returns to this country, and I
’ there appears to be any prospect for justice
1 being done him, he will not fear a trial.
A NEW ELDORADO.
Gold and Silver Mines Unearthed in Eas'-
ern New Yorx,
Marlboro (N. Y.) Special.
The gold and silver mines which it is ;
alleged have been and are now being un- i
i earthed on and at the base of the Shawan- I
[ gunk Mountain in Ulster county, notably I
| so at points near Ellenville, have induced I
i prospectors to look for valuable ore beds at
other points on the range, and in the Cats
kill and Plattekill mountains. By
the prospecting is looked upon as a sort cf
craze, yet the enthusiasts all have great ex
pectations. Valuable mil erals, it has been
discovered, can be taken out of the bowels
of the Fishkill mountains. In Dutchess
county, and also, it is expected, near the
Connecticut State line, a company has been
formed composed mainly of Syracuse and
other Central New York citizens, to work
the Fishkill mountain “finds,” which con
sist of silver, etc.
The company is known as the Hudson
River Silver and Graphite Mining Company,
at least that is the designation on the cer
tificate of incorporation filed with the
Dutchess Countv Clerk in Poughkeepsie.
The capital stock is fixed at $500,000, there
being 10,000 shares at SSO each. The com -
pany expects to work the finds for fifty years,
and the home office of the prospectors and
others directly and pecuniarily interested is
situated in Syracuse. People in Fishkill,
Matteawan, Glenham and ether villages
which nestle at the foot of the Fishkill
Mountains say that the company purposes to
work the deposits for all they are worth, and
that a large force of men will be employed
almost immediately.
The recently discovered gold and silver
mines at Cantonville, Ulster county, are
said to be “big things,” and work is being
vigorously prosecuted in that vicinity by
New York civil engineers and miners with
California keenness and means adopted for
finding the precious yellow metal. As far
as heard from up to date no further valuable
mines or other deposits have been discovered
on the Cat skills, either in Ulster,
Greene or Delaware counties, or
in the Shawangunk, in Sullivan, or
' the Fishkill, in Dutchess. The number of
claims filed with the Secretary of State by
Ulster county parties alone during the year
1884 to the ownership of gold and silver
mines and other mineral deposits were re
, markably large. Nearly all the claims are
■ located in the western and southwestern
portions of Ulster and thejadjoining coun
ties and in localities in Sullivan.
One Point Against Mormonism.
New York Herald.
The decision given by the United States
Supreme Court recently in the Clawson case
’ settles one point in the anti-polygamy law.
• When a Mormon is convicted of polygamy
s and sentenced to prison the trial judge may
1 refuse to release him on bail pending an ap
r peal from the sentence. Once in prison he
can bs held there until he serves out his
term or his conviction is set aside by the
courts. There will be the usual Mormon
s outcry against this exposition of the law,
t but it is a step forward in the treatment of
the Utah question.
GEN. LEE TO MR. DAVIS
A LETTER FROM THE CHIEFTAIN
TO THE EX-PRESIDENT.
Proposals to Co-operate With the Peace
Party of the North—Suggestions as to
the Course the South should Pursue
—Thinks this Would Strengthen
the South and Weaken the
North.
The following letter purporting to have
been written by General Robert E. Lee to
the Hon. Jefferson Davis, and dated “Head
quarters Army of Northern Virginis, June
10, 1863,” is published in the New York
Herald of Sunday:
“Mr. President: I beg leave to bring
to your attention a subject with reference to
which I have thought that the course pur
sued by writers and speakers among us has
had a tendency to interfere with our suc
cess. I refer to the manner in which the
demonstration of a desire for peace at the
North has been received in our country.
I “I think there can be no doubt that jour
nalists and others in the South, io whom
the Northern people naturally look for a
reflection of our opinions, have met these
indications in such wise as to weaken the
hands of the advocates of a pacific policy
on the part of the Federal Government and
give much encouragement to those who
urce a continuance of the war.
“Recent political movements in the Uni
ted States and the comments of influential
newspapers upon them have attracted my
attention particularly to this subject, which
I deem not unworthy of the consideration
of your Excellency nor inappropriate to be
adverted to by me, in view of its connection
with the situation of military affairs.
“Conceding to our enemies the superiority
claimed bv them in numbers, resources and
all the means and appliances for carrying on
the war, we have no right to look for ex
emption from the military consequences of
the vigorous use of these advantages, ex
cept by such deliverence as the mercy of
Heaven may accord to the courage of our
soldiers, the justice of our cause and the
constancy and prayers of our people.
While making the most we can of the
means of resistance we possess, and grate
fully accepting the measure of success
with which God has blessed our
efforts as an earnest of his approval and
favor, it is nevertheless the part of wis
dom to carefully measure and husband our
strength, and not to expect from it more
than, in the ordinary course of affairs, it is
capable of accomplishing. We should not
therefore, conceal from ourselves that our
resources in men are constanly diminishing,
and the disproportion in this respect be
tween us and our enemies, if they continue
united in their efforts to subjugate us, stead
ily augmenting. The decrease of the ag
gregate of this army, as disclosed by the re
turns affords an illustration of this fact, i's
effective strength varies from time to time,
but the falling off in its aggregate shoas
’ that its ranks are growing weaker and th.it
i its fosses are not supplied by recruits.
| “Under these circumstances we should
; neglect no honorable means of div ding and
weikening our enemies, that they may feel
sime of the difficulties experienced by o r
j seb e>. It seems to me that the most effect
, ual mode of accomplishing this object, no*
i within our reach, is to give all the encour
agement we can, consistently with truth, t*
the rising peace party of the North. Nt r
Ido I think we should, in this connection,
j make nice distinction between those who
I declare for peace unconditionally and those
i who advocate it as a means of restoring the
Union, however much we may prefer tl e
former.
“We should bear in mind that the fri n Is
of peace at the North must make concessions
to the earnest desire that exists in the
minds of their countrymen tor a restoration
of the Union, and that to hold out such a
result as an inducement is essential to the
success of their party. Should the belief
that peace will bring back the Union become
general the war would no longer be sup
ported, and that is, after all, what we are
interested in bringing about. When peice
is proposed to us it will be time enough to
discuss its terms, and it is not the part cf
j prudence tospurn the proposition in advance
merely because those who wish to
believe, or affect to believe, that it will re
sult in bringing us back to the Union. We
entertain no such apprehensions, nor doubt
that the desire of our people for a distinct
and independent national existence will
prove as steadfast under the influence of
peaceful measures as it has shown itself in
the midst of war.
“If the views I have indicated meet the
approval of your Excellency, you will best
know how to give effect to them. Should you
deem them inexpedient or impracticable, I
think you will nevertheless agree with me
that we should at least carefully abstain
from measures or expressions that tend to
discourage any party whose purpose is
peace.
“With the statement of my own opinion
on the subject, the length of which you will
excuse, I leave to your better judgment to
determine the higher course to be pursued.
■ “I am, with great respect, your obedient
servant' R. E. Lee, General.

GOOD BONE STRUCTURE-
A Discovery Which Will Bring It About.
I
While ample provision is made for the
prevention and spread of infectious diseases
among our people, but little attention has
been paid to degeneracy. This subject is
worthy of the most careful consideration of
every scientific philanthropist. All desire
a good, healthy physical constitution. There
j are many varied opinions as to the best
> means of attaining it. Chemistry and the
- micro-cope reveal to us all the elements nec-
> essary for building np and sustaining every
: organ in the body. If any one of these
elements is deficient in our food and drink.
I the organ which depends on them for supply
' being half-starved, must necessarily suffer,
and not only so, but it seriously affects other
. organs. What I desire now is to call atten
tion to the increasing tendency to nervous
, debility and poor bone structure. This sub
ject is often discussed in our dental societies,
but of this the public knows but
little. Although some differ in
opinion, the best informed agree that
. there is a deficiency in our food of phos-
. phate and carbonate of lime, which is es
. sential to good and healthy nerves and bone
structure.
, We have in this locality great numbers
that suffer from nervous debility and bad
teeth. Some attribute it to eating too much
i candy and sweetmeats; others to our
others to heriditary predisposition. Let ua
note these supposed causes. Pure candy and
, sweetmeats do not furnish food for either the
. nerves or bones. If indulged in, and they
i generate acid in the stomach, the acid irri
tates the nerves and the whole body suffers
and they should be dispensed with. Our
climate is good; the sun never shone on a
, better, and cannot be the true cause.
Hereditary predisposition most undoubt—
■ edly has a deleierious influence, but this can
be remedied if the proper means are used to
: prevent it. Dr. F. Y. Clark, who was well
known here as a prominent dentist, once
. said at one of our annual dental mt e ings,
“that if the wholesale destruction of teeth
. was not stopped by some means, that we
should soon have a tool bless population,
caused by hereditary influence.” This can
not be so, as many facts prove the contrary.
Dr. J. R. Walker, a prominent dentist in
New Orleans has had a large experience
and opportunities for comparing the quality
of human teeth in different localities. He
read an interesting paper at the meeting of
the Southern States’ Dental Society, on
environment, he gave a very succint ac
count of his observrlion and experiments.
In it he siys “ the question is wholly one
of demand, and supply.” He visited
Northern Texas and in the lime stone lo
calities found that the children and the
. people generally had go d, hard teeth,
. while in his locality the reverse was the
rule, the water in the lime-store
' J region being impregnated with
carbonate of lime, was by its
use the true cause of the fire development
of their teeth; and he concludes that where
ever this element is deficient in an ordinary
food and drink, good, substantial tooth bonG
is impossible, unless supplied by artifical
means. After these observations he says he
“began to preach lime water;” and, alter
several years of experiment, he proceeds tn
relate its effect, and found it most marvelous
- in arresting hereditary predisposition in sev
eral families. The deficiency in our ordi
nary food and drink in this loca ity
,is as unfavorable to the forma—
. tion and substance of good bone
, structure as in New Orleans, but carbonate
of lime does not furnish food for the nerves,
j these require the phosphates. While I ad
vocate good bone structure, I desire n.eans
for arresting the increasing downward ten
, denev of nervous depression which is so
deleterious not only to the present, but the
. coming generation.
We all know that half starved nervea
. and bones must result in an enfeebled con
stitution.
. The rapid progress of the arts
. and sciences has brought to light an
, efficient remedy for arresting the onward
f progress of the evils mentioned above. It is
, cheap, and not unpalatable. It is made
, from carefully selected beet bones, freed
from all animal matter, and reduced to an
> impalpaole powder; is as fine as the best
• wheat flour. Every well informed person
knows that our bones are largely tempi sed
[ of carbonate and phosphate of lime, and
f good beef bones, if properly prepared tor
i digestion, will furnish that which our ordi-.
nary food and drink is deficient in.
. The use of it will be beneficial in almost any
' family, but particularly bearing women, and
i children, whose nerves and bones are being
[ developed. A physician in this city is
using it in his practice to aid him in cur-<
, ing his nervous patients. About half tea
, spoonful per day for each person will ac
? complish the desired end, and about half as
much for small children. It can be mixed
i in milk, bread or any way to fancy.

What 1 Though I have all sorts of good

shall it not still be a joy to me to buy a ,

Certainly it shall, and with generous ardor
