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 at three hundred Several women tierished from exjitmure and starvation and others | ALBs |uimaux Point, out of :• population | only twenty have supplies for thhgßgter.

The remaining WO families have nothing i whatever with which to face the win ‘ ter. and it will be necessary either j to bring them off the coast or to semi sup plies to them. The failure of the fisheries was due to the action of the ke in the spring. The fall fishing has been poor all over the Elf owing to rough weather. Prices of all ids of fish are low. Over two thousand persons are destitute an t etrunded on the coast Five steamer* have been dispateb-d to their assistance.

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." Thomaa Resigns. 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.
