SAILORS PRAYtD ' IN FEAR Fiery Cloud Enveloped Ship and Everything on ueeK vas Rendered Absolutely Immovable. Philadelphia, Aug. 1. The British ship Mohican, while making for the Delaware breakwater, has encountered a strange phenomenon. A cloud of phosphoric appearance enveloped the vessel, magnetizing everything on board. Captain Urquhart says the ves sel and crew had a fiery coating. "When the sailors saw It," said the captain, "they rushed along the deck In consternation. I looked at the needle and it was flying around like an elec tric fan. I ordered several of the crew to move some Iron chains that were lying on the deck, thinking to distract their attention. The sailors could not budge the chains, although they did not weigh more than "5 pounds each. "Everything was magnetized, - and chains, bolts, spikes and screws were &s tight on the deck as If they had been riveted there. The cloud was so dense that it was impossible for the vessel to proceed. I could not see be yond the decks. It appeared as if the whole world was a mass of glowing fire. The sailors fell on the decks and prayed. Suddenly the cloud began to lift. The phosphorescent glow on the ship and the crew began to fade. In a few minutes the cloud passed over the vessel and we saw it moving over the sea." SENT TO ASYLUM. Seattle, Aug. 1. Frits Wusthoff, the young man who has been causing ex citement among residents in the vicin ity of Twenty-sixth avenue and Yesler way by throwing rocks through the windows of the houses of that neigh borhood, was committed to the asylum for the insane by Judge Griffin Satur- day.- ' The evidence brought out a very sad history. The young man, now only 24 years old, has suffered from epilepsy ever since he was 8 years old, when he was kicked in the head by a horse. Until recently he has been perfectly docile, and while feeble-minded, was ef a very' peaceable disposition. A few aays ago Wusthoft developed a violent tifrn, and chased a number of the women living near his home into their houses and hurled rocks through the windows. He was arrested Friday and examined Saturday before a commission of physicians and was by them pronounced insane. little fellow was hurried to the hos pital, "where his injuries were found to be so severe that he will be lamed in alt probability for life.

Tramps Atack Group Bathing in the Puyallup. , Tacoma, Aug. 1. Two men, sup posed to be tramps, tied 15-year-old "Willie Fuhrmefster to one of the tim bers of the Interurban bridge crossing the Puyallup river late Saturday af ternoon, and it was about four hours before the boy was found by searching parties. The child was bathing in the Puyal lup river with several of his compan ions when the men suddenly appeared and began throwing sticks and stones at them. All the boys were fortunate in getting their clothing and scamper ing away with the exception of the Fuhrmelster child. As he made a dive for his clothes one of the tramps caught him, and with a rope they car ried, bound him hand and foot, and tied him to the bridge. The othr children ran to their homes and the Fuhrmelster child was not missed until supper time. The motive of the tramps is not known, the boys declaring they did nothing to enrage them.

Portland Telegram: Married at e o'clock in the morning, forced to ride in an express wagon to the Ash street dock, and commanded to make a speech, with the loss of his bride as a penalty for noncompliance, was the un happy Introduction to wedded bliss of j a young business man of Portland. The identity of the young man cannot be ascertained. He is known only to the friends who put up the job on him and his bride, and they refuse to give any information, further than that the wedding took place on Hall street, be tween Sixth and Seventh, and that the groom was the victim of a deeply planned "job." But here Is the story, as told by one of them: The groom and the bride did not wish to have a prosaic July wedding, and so they left all the arrangements to the warmest friend of the former, who also was to act as best man. .Wednesday night the arrangement committee gave notice that the wedding must take place at o'clock Thursday morning. The young couple, after due consider ation, thought it best to obey the com mittee's order. At 5:30 a. m. Thurs day, Patrick Kinney, coachman, was aroused from his dreams and told to bring Rev. D. Wilson to the residence, and also to have an expressman there at the same time. The wedding cere mony was performed in a few minutes, and as the happy young people and their friends were descending the stairs, Kinney held the carriage door open In expectation of the pleasure of welcoming his 27th bridal couple of the year. But he was disappointed, for to his surprise the couple were hustled Into the express wagon which stood near by, and the trunks and a couple of friends were put into the carriage. Then the order came to proceed to the Ash street dock. When the dock was reached, the groom was surrqunded in the express wagon and the bride was carried off to a safe distance. Then he was told that if he did not make a speech he would be put In the po sition of a German gentleman who from the stress of financial circum stances had to make his wedding tour alone. He hesitated for a few min utes, but the warning whistle of the Astoria boat, which he and his bride were to take, determined him. He made the speech, his bride was re stored to him, and they boarded the boat Since the eventful morning no news has been received from the couple, but it is supposed they are enjoying a pleasant trip.
