IHSHIK FLEET DESTROtf D,
MAST V«SISEt.S tWI'ON THE C OAST
'Or LABRADOR.
People’s Houses Swept Away and Numerous
Persons Drowned.
Advices have been received at Halifax,
Nova Scotia, of a terrific hurricane along
the coast of Labrador. On October 10 the
wind was high. Dur>ng the night it increased
raj idly, and by 10 o’clock the following ddy
it was blowing a hurricane. Th® ftshiilg fleet
in the neighborhood hdd n'6 warning of the
storm’s approach, and being taken almost
ÜBpf’&jSared was almost entirely destroyed.
The vessels sought such shelter as the
inhospitable coast afforded, but ves
sel after vessel was blown from its moorings
and driven ashore ou the rcckjf ireefs, there
to be dashed to Wreckage is strewn
along the UOas't for miles, and more of it is
coming ashore every hour. The full extent
of the damage cannot yet be estimated for
want of communication, but from what has
been learned so far from seventy to ninety
vessels have gone to pieces, and only e few of
their crews had any chance to ®4e&pS. A&
far as estimated some ea® hundred fishermen
have lost their lives.
The people on the shore, mostly women
And children, are thus bereft of their sole sup
port at a time when the entire coast is suffer
ing from a dire famine. Many of the tost
vessels are from other loealiti«A Al”* Um adds
to‘the difficulty in getting nst of vessels
destroyed. The reason -ftrhy this disaster is
particularly felt by the inhabitants there is
due to the met that the fisheries were a com
plete failure.
Every able-bodied man and boy had been
tempted to take advantage of large schools of
mackerel which had suddenly appeared in
those waters. For the same r<*ujon the ves
sels had all remained on the grounds some
what later in the season to make up for their
nast hard luck.
There are now fully 2-,006 ftfeirsoita on
shore completely Their appeals
for aid made -A fi'.W weeks ago upon the
strength Os the fisheries have now become
doubly firgent. A steamer is fitting out to
go at once to their assistance with all the
necessaries needed and then it is hoped that
complete returns of the disaster can be ob
tained. The Dominion parliament has been
called upon and a liberal donation is ex
pected.
The damage done,nmbrding to the reports,
is not confined to the sea, but numbers of
dwelling's, many of them little better than
hntti. but still the only home and shelter these
unfortunate persons possessed, were leveled
to the ground or washed away by the
tide, which is reported to have' s-Jsefi
to an unprecedented -height Within a few
hours. In many the people were
away from home, being down on the beach
asaieting some unfortunate craft ashore, and
so, when the flood came they were not there
to remove their effects and consequently lost
(their all.
~k The many thus left ho*’?-o®s ere subsisting
best_j. v, <y thp* cM« ett!in hy, is» t
BWridnaa ro the dti factories, or in temporary
tfeheltef-s made up of old boats, pieces of can- -
[|ras, etc., in sheltered nooks. This is having 1
'a fatal effect on the many victims of the
dreaded scurvy which made its appearance
some time ago.
A number of bodies have b®on Washed dp,
some fifty being reooverod ho far. but so dis
figured aro they fToni the action of the water,
or from having been beaten out of all human ;
rosemWence on the rocks, it was possible to
identify only a few. They were bnried in
hastily-made graves as soon as recovered, the
inhabitants religiously accompanying each to
the grave and seeing that some burial service
was held.
So Violent was the surf that only little
came ashore from the wreck sufficiently in- '
tact to be utilized. The vessels were most of
them small, so the loss in money will hardlv
ranch over <3t),OOJ, but it is the fishermen's ■
all.
A later dispatch from St. John’s, New
foundland, says: “A great storm raged off
the coast of Labrador on October IT, doing
immense damage among the fishing fleet
gathered there. Eighty vessels were
wrecked or driven ashore. and
at least twenty men from the
crews of tho vessels lost their lives. Two
thousand jjersous are now ashore in a death
tut,- condition. The news created great ex
citement here. Steamers will be immediately
dispatched to the srene Os the disaster with
provisions, clothing and other comforts for
the use of the castaways.”
Late-ti iteperts.
The barkentine Nellie has arrived at St
John’s, N. F. t from labrador. She brings
tenlble news of the hurricane that re-entry
ravaged the wave*, washed shore* of that
bleak and inhospitable country. Not
only have the fislienes 1 ailed the sturdy
toitore of the sea, but the very ele
ments seem to have a particular spite against
them. With the beginning of the month the
weat her grew bad and frequent storms pre
vailed. .On the 11th inst n hurricane came
on. It struck the coast quite unexpectedly,
ami the fishing ve-cels suffered severely.
Many foundered at their anchors, and others
were dashed high on the rocks and became
total wrecks.
The loes of life was terrible Some of the
pawvngere of the Nel be <«ti-noL> the number

was due to the action of the ke in the spring.
The fall fishing has been poor all over the

A Whole Villace Destroyed.
Dispatches from Periquex, the capital of the
department of Dordogma, France, state that
a trighttul accident has occurred at the Chan
ce.ad. quarries, near that town. While a large
body of workmen were engaged in taking out.
st-m , the quarries suddenly fell in, destroyed
the vihages situated on the ground above the

Many are buried in the ruins, and it is doubt
ful if any of them can be rescued in time to
save their lives. Troops have been sent to the
scene of the disaster to aid in the work of re*

. A HYDROPHOBIA CURE.
A FBESCH SCKENTIKT’S SITCCXM*
FCL EXPERIMENTS.
Curing a Bey who Had Been Bitten by w
Mad Dog.
A difecidi cable dispatch from Paris to the
New York Hertdd gives the subjoined most
interesting accoifrtt k of Dr. Louis Pasteur’s
successful attempt to a cure for hydro
phobia:
“No mortf hydrophobia! more madS
dogs! Dr. Ijouis Pasteur’s experiments have
resulted in a most brilliant success. At per
haps thte most important sitting held by tue
academy of sciences, Dr. Pasteur thus de
scribed the. process of cure by means ot a
rabbit inoculated with the fragment
of & tissue taken from She seine of a rabia
dog. TW ihcubation of the poison occu
pied fifteen aays As soon a» the first rabbit
inoculated was deted 1 a portion from its spinal
marrow was in tuns moeulatecl into a sec
ond rabbit, and so on until sixty rabbits hail
been inoculated. At each iJtteoessive inocu
lation the virus increased in potency, analhe
last period of incubation did not occupy more
than Seven- days. . •
“Haritfg ascertained that exposure toaneef
air diminished the virus, and consequently re
duced its force, D£ Pasteur supplied himsOti
with a series of bottles' of dried ai». In these’
bottles he placed portioiste-ot inoculated spinal
marrow at successive the oldest Denig
the least virulent and the latest the most so.
For an operation Dr. Pasteur begins by in
oculating his subject with the oldeet tissue,
and finishes by the injection of a piece of
tissue whose bottling dates back only two
days, and whose period of incubation would
not exceed one week. The subject is then
found to be absolutely proof against the dis->
ease. _ ,
“A boy twelve years of age, named
Meister, who had been bitten fourteen times,
came from Alsace with his mother to see Dr.
Pasteur. The autopsy of the dog which hadl
bitten the boy left no doubt as to its having
suffered from hydrophobia. Dr. Pasteur
took the celebrated Dr. Vttlpian mid
a professor of the school of
medicine io see the boy Meister. These two
doctors came to the conclusion that the boy
was doomed to a painful death and might be
experimented upon. In thirteen days inocu
lations were made Upon Meister with
pieces of spinal marrow containing
virus of eonstantly inereasing' strength,
the last lining from the sipine of
a rabbit that died only the day before.
Now a hundred days have passed since Meis
ter underwent the last inoculation. The
treatment has been thoroughly successful
and the boy is in perfect health. He bad
been bitten sixty hours and had traveled from
Alsace to Paris before the first inoculation
was performed.
“A shepherd boy named Judith,aged fifteen,,
was bitten by a mail dog a fortni nit ago and
has now been a week under trearment. Dr,
Pasteur is itoiifident of curing hijn.
“Dr. Pasteur said that it was now neces
sary to provide an establishment wheiff rab
bits might ’always be. keqit
the d iscase. In thli.whya
ol sprain tissues of ran auu
would always be reai ly. Before tlf&'Aimit
adjourned l’»r. l , n-iem’'ratieivsAau‘*uj (
ovation, from both the' "aeaderrty Tts'elf and
the public who were present. Among those
present I noticed the Grand Duke Alexis,
who is a great dog fancier, and M. de Itos
seps, who went to hear Dr. Pasteur’s report
indorsed by Dr. Vulpian.
“One of the leading doctors present remark
ed that the question was whether a man
cured of hydrophobia could suffer from a
second bile. In other words, whether
the inoculation of virus was a guar
antee against hydrophobia. In answer
Dr. Pasteur states that the malady
is transmissible only by bite. If, therefore,
by a general compulsory inoculation of dogs
for several generations dogs had been made
incapable of nydrophobia, the malady would
have disappeared and there would be no oc
casion to ask whether inoculation had a per -
manent effect or not. As to the origin of hydro
phobia, Dr. Pasteur says nobody in the world
can explain its primal causes. As he re
marked —perhaps out of politeness -his theory
will require study by the profession in order
to make it practical, blit he emphatically
stated that the cure for hydrophobia had
been found."

ANOTHER CIVIL SERVICE COMMIS
SIONER RETIRES.
Civil Service Commissioner Thoman, in a
letter to the President tendering his resigna
tion, says:
“While thus asking release from so honor
able a trust, I desire to record my gratifiea-.
tionof the proved practicability and remedial/
effectiveness of the reform procedure. Tried’
veterans in political warfare view
, with amazement the facile, though
radical, departure from the fa
miliar methods of the spoils system of
distributing patronage. Strenuous and sin
cere argument, and also deliberate perversion,
mark the opposition of different groups of
antagonists. And yet it must be concluded
1 that a majority of the political leader# in
either party is in accord with the Pendleton
law, if its original enactment and emphatic
endorsement by a subsequent Congress were
■ honest legislative expressions, arid not the
; coercion of moral cowardice by popular senti
ment nor partisan legerdemain. * * *
i Public appreciation of the fact that this re
* form does not trench upon sturdy partisan
ship came late. It was sedulously maintained
1 that the civil service was to be composed of
men who should abjure certain rights of citi
zenship. With the gradual, but inevitable
refutation of this false view, the outlines of
i the reform at last stood forth in clearness.
It is a reform which views the civil service
|aa a vast business agency; its search is for
the best obtainable ment. In buriness wlik-h
i uot political jt enfor e» no te->ts oi puny.
The President replied as follows:

Mr Dear Sir: I have received your letter
