BURNED AT SEA. A. Story of Marin Disaster Off the Bar. badoes Cout. New York, July 8. Seventeen ship wrecked Bailors who just arrived here on the Prince line steamship Sardinian Prince, from South Amerioa and Went India ports, tell of a battle with that most dreaded of all enemies at sea, lire. The men embarked at Barbadoes, having been forwarded from there by the American consul. They belonged to the American ship Belle of Bath, which wag burned at sea on June 18, alnnit 150 miles eastward of Barbadoes. Their "trip was one which they are never likely to forget. The Belle of Bath left this port June 2, clearing for Hong Kong with a cargo of case oil. All went well until June 9, when the first week's journey was at an end. The ship Was sailing along in fairly good weather, when sud denly it sprung a leak. Captain Curtis ordered all hands to the pumps prompt ly. The water gained upon them steadily, and every moment it looked as if the vessel would go to the bottom. After 24 hours of constant work the water was reduced in the hold, but the leak could not be stopped, and the crew worked in relays for nine days pumping the water out , When the men were almost exhausted on Friday afternoon and some of them were on the verge of collapse the ory of "fire" rang throngh the ship. First Mate Cod detected little clonds of smoke coming from the forecastle, and quickly sounded the alarm. Captain Curtis, who was below, snatching a few min utes' sleep, sprang on deck and ordered the hatches closed down.. In a few minutes dense clouds of smoke were is suing from the forecastle, accompanied by flames. The fire was shooting high in the air, and fanned by a breeze, was threatening the whole ship. Captain Curtis realized at once that his ship wsa doomed, and that to en deavor to fight the fire would be useless and dangerous. Boats were hastily pro visioned. The order was given by the captain to lower them at once. With - marvelous rapidity the flames spread all over the ship, and the men were forced to make haste to get into the boats. The boats dropped away to lee ward, and the men were pnt to the oars and rowed away to a safe distance. By this time the ship was a blazing furnace. The flames had reached the oil and burst out from every part of the vessel. When the flames had eaten their way into, the hold a tremendous explosion was heard. The decks of the ship flew up and the sides burst, and a great body of smoke and flame filled the air. It took perhaps half an hour to finish the work. When the smoke died away the men in the yawl could see the Belle of Bath had been burned to the water's edge. A heavy sea was running, and with every sweep of the oars the little life boat was in imminent danger of being swamped. Under light canvas 120 miles were made, and after 24 hours' struggling in the rough waters, land was sighted. It was early Sunday morning, and the crew uttered a prayer for their escape. A GIFT BY THE STATE. Silver Service Presented to the Battle ship Oregon. Portland, Or., July 8. The magnifi cent silver service secured by the cit izens of the state, as a testimonial to the battle-ship Oregon, was formally presented by Governor Lord, on behalf of the people, to Captain Albert C Barker, commanding the battle-ship aud representing the officers and crew of the Oregon, yesterday afternoon at the Armory. The silver service was conspicuously displayed on a large table, resting amid the folds of an American flag. All the naval and military officers were in full uniform. A conspicuous feature of the cere mony was the presence of 200 sailors, taken from the crews of the two moni tors, now liyng in the harbor. They were clad in their summer dress suits of spotless white, and presented an ex ceedingly attractive appearance. The battalion of sailors was drawn up in line on the west side of the im mense drill-room of the Armory, and, as Oovernor Lord, with the committee and naval and army officers, came in at the main entrance, the shrill piping of a whistle brought the line to a present, while the distinguished visitors and others marched in the center of the hall. The presentation was made by Oov ernor Win. P. Lord. The response was by Captain Albert C. Barker, com manding the battle-ship Oregon. When he had finished his address, accepting the testimonial, be was loudly ap plauded, and a moment after the pre sentation ceremonies came to a close with three rousing cheers for Oregon and the flag. Immediately after the floor was cleared of tables and chairs, the silver service carefully cared for, and the announcement made that the battalion of sailors would give an ex hibition drill. This proved to be a great feature. The precision with which the men responded to trumpet orders astonished the spectators, and at the close of each evolution the sailors were heartily applauded. Some of the movements were exceedingly graceful, particufarly the caligthenio exercise with guns, and the admirable perform ance was watched with the closest at tention. Hartsville, Tenn., July 8. A fright ful boiler explosion occurred on the farm of W. A. Allen this afternoon, by which nine people were killed and five badly injured. Borne of the victims were mangled beyond recognition, and pieces of the boiler were blown 700 yards. - The 75th anniversary of the wedding of Jonathan Kaufman and his wife was recently celebrated at their home, in Pulaski, Pa. They have bad eight children, all of whom are living. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Dawning, Hopkins A Company's Review of Trade. f Outside of some little manipulation of July options, markets were dull and fairly steady last week. Spring wheat in the Northwest is above the average, both as to quality and acreage sown. The whole Southwest from Kansas City to Galveston is feeling elated over the crop of winter wheat. The Kansas hard wheat is of a fine quality. Texas has a Dig crop. Procter Taylor, the well-known mil ler oi Quincy, III., and meuibor of the Chicago board of trade, has just re turned from a trip to Oklahoma, where he has been to see for himself about the likelihood of getting a quantity of soft red wheat for his mill. The result of his inquiries and observations on the spot was, in his opinion, that Oklaho ma would raise between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 bushels of excellent quality wheat unless his information is largely astray on acreage. He saw a field threshed that yielded 43 bushels to the acre, and returns of 85 and 88 bushels were quite frequent. His ob servation was confined to the line of the Santa Fe Railroad, an he said only the best farmers those having threshing facilities of . their own had yet threshed their wheat, but withal he came to the above conclusion as to the total yield. : The Minneapolis Market Record ol June 28 says: The prospect for wheat in the Korthwest is not impaired dur ing the past week. The growth is very heavy and the head is forming. By opening the straw it is found that the heads are of unusual length. There is nothing now in sight to prevent a large yield. It is to be borne in mind that there is yet time for many accidents. If no accident happens to it there ought to be more than 200,000,000 bushels harvested in Minnesota and the Dakotas. Allowing 60,000,000 for the other spring states and about 80, 000,000 of winter wheat, which is now practically assured, and the outlook is for a crop for this country of 575,000, 000 buhels of wheat. The question of price is also promising, for with the small stocks to be carried forward, in all countries, the new crop will go more quickly into consumption and leavi small surplus to be carried over to mother crop.

Some 18 years ago the flock owners of Australia, finding that there was a fair market in England for canned mutton, determined to try the experiment of ex porting the fresh-killed meat in a frozen state. Sheep which had been bred with a view to producing wool rather than for table use, did not at first find favor with the public, besides which an occasional breakdown in the refrigerating machinery often ren dered the experiment an expensive one for the shipper. New Zealand sheep were found to be of a much better quality, and by degrees difficulties were surmounted and prejudices overcome until New Zealand mutton has become as common an object in London meat markets as the home-grown article. Owing to the difference in the seasons on the other side of the eauator, lambs are ready for export about Christmas time, so that they can be placed on the London market earlier in the season than those raised at home. The car casses are first cooled and then slightly frozen on shore; they are then trans ferred to a dry chamber on board ship, where the temperature is steadily main tained at a few degrees below freezing. On their arrival in port they are again transferred to a cold-storage chamber and kept there until wanted. iMS. ELLA M'GAEYY.'

K New Plan to Use Iron la Pert Welle, The Interest mtuilfeeted In coast de fenses will be greatljr enhanced wheo the full scope of the possibilities of the use of Iron In fort construction la fully considered. It la claimed by the In ventor of the new method, Mr. James Acton Mllto, of New Haven, Conn., that forts can be eontfrurted by this nieuiw, practically ImlMrtruetlblc, and at a small part of the present cost. A writer In the Army and Navy Jour nal says that ordinary plate armor, re quiring supporting structures, la not to be considered for a nianwuU on account of cost, but In defense of the nature here dMteribed, the fort Is made direct ly where It Is to be used, and wRh a very simple plant. One very Important feature of this luventilon la the fact that almost uy kind of niftal that can be.nielted may be used, as It Is a well-known fact that mixtures of scrap lrou run In ordinary foundry practice makes a very hard casting, aud this Is to be desired, and It Is thought by the Inventor that omly a siiuill part of new metal will be re quired for costing the body walla of forts, and, for that matter, where great haste Is required, not suHlclent time to procure new material, tlie entire fort can be made out of okt material by sim ply setting up plates of any thlckiwes that nuiy be got hold of conveniently a suflU'limt distance apart to keep the de sired thickness of the waH, and these plHtps j'an be bolted together by menus of running long bolts through Iron pipes cut off tlie proper length to bold the plates apart, and tip? ttiterveniug space between the plates can be filled loosely by old wire, long pieces of scrap kroai, old pipes, rails, etc., or anything that tan be secured of the wrought metal kind, then by banking up outside of the plates above mentioned, the cast metal may be run between the same, so as to form a solid wail re-enforced with the wrought metal before montlonod. This construction Is not recommended by the Inventor, but Is simply mention ed showing the Innumerable ways of utilizing tin scrape, old cans, hoop skirts, If they should ever come In fstdi lon again .and, In fact, almost anything of the metal kind, either fusible or not, In this manner of fort building, but It Is the Intention of this article to de scribe the regular construction of this class of forts as above referred to. It Is necessary to have a proper substruc ture, and it Is thought better to provide a foundation for the walls at a suffi cient depth below Use ground to avoid any posalblltty of projectiles piercing below the Iron walls, and to guard against this It might be well to cast a wall of Iron, a few feet outside of the regular wall, with a view of making U a stop for projectiles that might strike Into the embankment around the fort or the ground surrounding the founda tion, and under tills bead It is thought better to cast a number of wails formed largely of this scrap material, cast so as to deflect the projectile downward, and It will be seen tihat when the outer wall Is struck by a low shot the project ile will be deflected downward and the force weakened; tills kucreases as it comes through a bed rf sand to the next sail, which tacreases the deflec tion, uutU Us force is spent. After the foundation Is provided It la desirable to cast a floor right where H Is to be used, having supports of brick, stone or Iron work. In addition to the regular ground formation under the floor, and providing for tracks for hand ling tlie guns, ammunition, etc,, Inside the fort, also for pillars to support die overhead roof where required. Tlie material recommended for use as a superstructure Is I channel and T beams, awl these ere cut in ktigtb and iwed either straight or bent, as the shape of the Iron work demands, first having the web punctied through with large holt's, say three Inches In diam eter, to allow the cast metal to Inter lock when run through the framework of the fort, but before the superstruc ture la put In place all wrought parts around whUth metal Is to be run should be tinned, so that the cast Iron will be united with tlie beams In such manner as to be practically inseparable, as It Is a well-known fact that the use of tin with cast Iron hardens and toughens the same by chemical action so as to make It almost am ImpoHstbUIty to drill or break the casting. Not Unlock. The London Mall tells a good story about cycles made to sell and not to run. A well-known woman of title bad sev eral times had a man from the cycle maker's to execute various repairs to her machine repairs which were nec essary on account of the firm's careless workmanship. Her ladyship's llttto girl happened to be watching the work with great Interest, and remarked to the mechanic: "Don't you think mamma's very un lucky with her bike?" "Unlucky, did yer say?" was the man's reply. "Why, her ladyship's alive still, ain't she? Well, some of our customers ain't." Unkind. "In the last act," said the bamfat tar, "where I am supposed to Jump from the roof of the castle, they throw a stuffed man over Instead.' "That's strange," commented the very low comedian.

San Francisco, Cal Prauhlln' Bequest In Court. If Benjamin Franklin, one of the winest of men, could have foreaeen the difficulties and complications that have grown out of his famous bequest to the city of Boton of $5,000, more than 100 yean ao, he would probably have can celled that part of the will, or at least made its provisions very different, re marks the Buffalo Commercial. The fund, which now amounts to $348,000, has been invested mainly as he direct ed. At the end of the first hundred years the principal was to be laid out at the discretion of the iuamigt-rs of the donation to the town of Boston, "in publio works which may be Judged of most utility to the inhabitants, such as fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, pub lio buildings, baths, pavements, or whatever may make living in the town more convenient to its people and ren der it more agreeable to strangers re sorting thither for health or temporary residence." The money is in the Bos ton city treasury, but it appnars the municipal authorities and the trustee are at loggerheads as to their respec tive powers, and also as to the method of Its expenditure, and as a last resort the matter has been carried to the courts. An application is to be made to the supreme court of Massachusetts to decide who has authority under the will to expend the money in one of the sev eral ways suggested by the testator. It is to be hoped a way out of the diffi culty will be found and that the fund will be used to establish the Franklin trades school, as has been proposed. It is one of the most remarkable legacies ever made, and the benevolent intent is plain enough, though perhaps not ex pressed in sufficiently definite terms. Burled the Wrong Corp. Fairplay describes the following as a true story: Lately an English family had the misfortune to lose an aged aunt, who died in St. Petersburg. Ar rangements were most carefully made and directions sent that the body should be forwarded to England to be interred in the family vault. In dne time magnificent coffin arrived and before it was lowered to its last resting place it was opened for inspection. Much to the dismay of the family, instead of finding the familiar features and frail form of their beloved annt, the corpse of a Russian officer, clothed in military garments and decorated with ribbons and medals, w s disalosed to view. A frantic telegram was dispatched to the Russian capital, to which the following answer was returned: "Lady buried yesterday with military honors. Please keep the general."
