Irwington Appeal! Last Sunday (
' afternoon, while Sabbath school was
in session, a distinguished divine of,
I our city, in passing down the silse,
I was seen to stoop and pick up a card
—the tray of spades. After a brief
, survey of the It tie waif, he laid in on
’ a pew near where W 1 re seated a ccu
-1 pie or more young men, saying : |
. “Boys, some of you have lost a card,”
I and qnietly resumed bis walk. We
; learn, however, the boys stoutly dis
i claim any ownership in the little es
tray. So one played “high,” anoth
er “jack,” and the third “game.”
: while the fellow who played “low”
couldn’t be found.

The differences that have existed
for some time between the City
Council Gt Macon and the Southern
Telegraph Company, with regird to
the payment of the 1500 license im
posed by the dity, have at last b?en
, settled. The matter was argued in
I Atlanta and a ecision rendered by
wbic i the receiver for the Southern
Company is instructed to pay to-day
S2OO of the lijense money, and the
balance within thirty days. In the
•vent this is not done, the injunction
is in force at present against the city
will be dissolved, and away opened
for the city to proceed against the
company.
The ip .the reaj'
the I’.ix ilic express, which left New
York at duedry flight
on the Penn . v,:
startled bjta crash of urfter i
the train tb -vilie
bridge, this* ide ot Trenton. All that
could be seen was a man’s legs as
they disappeared out of one of the
car windows. Two men, who sat
in the seat in front, jumped up
quickly and tried to grab the man’s
legs, but they were too late. Th* man
who jumped out of the window was
William H. Browning. He was
handcuffed and on his way to West
Chester to answer the charge of
bigamy. The men who satin front of
him were Sheriff Baker and Deputy
Sheriff Hoopes, of West Chester, who
went to New York last Friday to
bring on their pirsoner. The train
was running 35 nrles an hour at \he
time Browning jumped. In getting
out of the window he carried the en
tire sash with him.
Sheriff Biker hurried into the
nextcjn and told Brakeman Fitz
gerald what had happened. The
Brakeman brakemaA raft to the tor
war 1 end of the train, which consist
ed of ten cars, and told Conductor
I William Jones, who pulled the bell
and the train was stopped, but not
until it had r‘ach' d Tullytown, five
miles this side of where the man
made the awiul leap. She iff Baker
and Deputy Hoopes got off the train .
and, after borrowings lamp from |
the operator at the station, started
back along the milroad,exjieeiing to
find Browning’s dead body. After
walking to the south end of Mor
risville, four miles back, they picked
up Browning’s hat. The ofti'-er
searched about until after midnig'it.
i but could not find their escaped ,
prisoner, and aUindoiied further,
search until morning.
They stopped over night in Mor
! rLville, and yester<lay morning
bright and early started out. They
found blood stains near where the
’ hat was found. The stains were found
I along the track, on the railroad lies,
as fur as B istol, a >listance of nine
miles, where the trail abruptly
stoppe 1. Sheriff Biker visited the
Bristol police and left the cnse in
then bands,and he and his deputy
rvturneu last last neght to West
Chester. Browning was arrested in
New York city on a warrant sworn
out by one of bis wives, who lives
in West Brandvwine township, in
Chester cninty. He was tiied in
New Yoik la.-,t Thnrsdty on the
charge ct kating the newrel aud
youngest ot his wives, but through
intimidation she testified so that
Browning was acquitted. The Bris
t 10l police had not found die desper
ate fugitive up to midnight last
night.
AllVe While in Her Coffin,
. Liberty, Va.j April 11.—Miss
: Amanda Ch istian died, apparently,
a couple of days ago, and fe r body j
1 placed in a coffin. Her remains were 1
followed to church by a large num-'
ber of her friends and relatives. As
Is customary, the hd of the coffin was
removed as the body lay in the
church that the mourners might have
a last luck at the departed.
TiAtepMoister had begun the funer- J
as aeiTices with great solemnity
amid the expressions of grief of the j
! family. Before the sermon was
( half through the physician of the wo
man,wno had just heard of her death
came dashing up to the church on
hoiseback, directed the minister to
desist, and told the mourners to dry
1 their faces, because the woman v. as
not dead. j
The.body was removed from the
coffin, carried back home and the |
physician detected warm‘.bin it. Res
toratives were applied and the wo*
1 man was restored to consciousness
1 and will recorer. Her horror at
having so narrow'y escaped so fright
ful a calamity as buried before death
is reported as indescribable, and the
consternation of the people who were
so nearly witnessing such a thing is
very\great.

The Height of Waves*
Many experiments bavbbeett made tt
measure tlm height of waves in all con-
I ditions of weather* On® authority goei
I as high as sixty-four feet and another aj
low as five feet, giving it as his reason
that the penetrating power of Wind nah*
not reach below that depth. Os thia
philosopher it may be presumed that he
was a martyr to sea-sickness, and that (
he must have contented himself with
making his calculations in hie study,
( On the other hand, a height of sixty*
four feet is almost tus absurd, though il ’
1 is more in correspondence than five fuel
can possibly be with our conception ol
the altitude of the majestic surges
which roll under the impulse (4 storms
of wind along the surface ot the great
oceans. It is true that tl*e earthquake j
wave has been known to rise to sixty
feet; yet surge's of this kind are happily
scarce, since when they occur they are
not only in the habit Os razing Whole
towns upon the coast line Where they
break, but of carrying soine of the Ves
sels they may encounter at anchor fa
the neighborhood to tim distance of a
day's walk inland. Practical expert*
ence, hoWevbr will look with suspicion
Upon most of the scientifio theories
touching the altitude and velocity of '
waves* Prof. Airy’s table couples !
speed With dimensions, and* as a sam- ‘
pe of his calculation*, it may be shown i
that a wave one hundred thousand feet (
in breadth will travel at the rate ot
58.8.80 feet per second in water that ia 1
ten thousand feet deep. This is possi
ble, but it is difiic.ult to accept such eon* ,
elusions as exact. At all events, there
is nothing move deceptive than the
height of wave,. ‘Hie tallest seas fa the

very generally accepted by sailors,
though the term may be sometimes
used by them for convenience. Tha
truth is. If waves were as tall ae they
are popularly supposed to be, no ship
■eould by am potelbilitv live in them.
They are lofty to the fnnoy, because at
tea they are usually surveyed from tew
freeboards. To a spectator on a steamer*
With a six-foot height of side, an Atl»n
