a great crowd. Many Christians felt refresh-
cd, and a number professed conversion. The

several months. Last fall a letter found on

intended to commit suicide in the vicinity
whey the body was found. A search at the

The death of Mr. James Smibert, caused,
as is supposed by his falling down a steep
ledge of rocks, as already described in this
column, took place Saturday morning, and
revives effort on the part of theorizers to
reach some conclusion as to the circumstanc-
es leading to the event. What was accepted
as a mystery at first deepens with time, no
definite clew having been reached. Re-
maining unconscious from the time he was
found seventeen days before, till he breathed
his last. deceased could give no version of
his mishap, and all that is known conccriflng
it is mere speculation. The town authorities,
looking upon the case as important,called a
jury of inquest who met Saturday morning
adjourned to this (Monday) evening when a
searching investigation will be begun. They
will seek to disclose the relations between
Mr. Smibcrt and Mrs. Riley, living near the
fatal rocks with her father, Captain Chas.
Allen, ' who, as is alleged, had forbid 'de-
ceased visiting his house, and they will draw
out what of truththere may be in the claim
'that Mr. S. accidentally fell from the rocks.
Friends have visited the sick man’s bedside
in the hope that some ejaculation might
escape his lips, but the only utterance made
by him was two nights before his death,
when in a wakeful, half dreaming state he
suddenly cried out : “Go away from me?
Don’t choke me so ?” These words :are
deemed very significant as indicating that he
had been the victim of foul play. Mr. S.
had been active in town affairs, and had
carried on the tanning business here for a
quarter of a century. At one time he was at
the head of a. large leather house in “the
swamp,” New York City. He was in his 63d
year and a widower.

On Saturday, Aug. 6, Joseph Spicer, Wil-
liam Spicer, John Spicer and William Lyon,
left 'our harbor in, the cat-rigged sharpie,
“Plug Ugly,” for Stony Brook, Long Island,
in the vicinity of which they proposed to
spend a couple of days fishing and cruising.
They were well provisioned, taking along
five baked chickens, a chicken pie, bushel of
potatoes, bread, lines, bait and all things
needed one pleasure trip of that kind. There
had been a thunder shower in the morning,
which, according to “Old Prob’s" philosophy
meant uncertainty for the rest of the day.
Nothing daunted, they set sail steering direct
for the middle of the Sound, where their
bark behaved well. . The wind which had
hauled from the west to the southwest began
to blow a gale, piling up a sea which was
rough, though steady so long as they were
before the wind. .thn eff Stratford Light,
a gust and heavy wave struck the boat at
the same instant, and before the helmsman
could let go his main sheet capsized her,pre«
cipitating the voyagers and their well ap-
pointed leader into the sea. The struggle
they made to seize and maintain their hold
on the boat was terrible, but they succeeded
in getting on to the upturned bottom, where
for the space of three hours they suffered
untold agonies, the waves beating upon them
as if bent on their destruction. Two of the
number during that time were washed into
the sea twice, and twice were recovered by
their companions. As well as they could
they signalled passing vessels, none of which
came near enough to observe them. Night
coming on their prospects of rescue were in-
deed dark, and at a moment when they least
expected thg dark hull of a steamer was seen
steering towards them. She proved to be
the Josephine B., Capt, Ellis of New York,
bound to Block Island. Much exhausted the
four were taken aboard the steamer where
by kind attentions of Capt. Ellis’ men they
were made comfortable. All that was saved
from the wreck of the “Ugly” was her sail,
for which Capt. E paid the party five dollars
that being the only money they could boast
of possessing. Although Capt. E was hasten-
ing to Block Island to see his sick father, he
changed the course of his steamer for the
port of New London, landing the mariners
there at 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Fearing
to encroach on the limited capital by paying
for lodgings at a hotel they passed the rest
of the night at the New London police stat-
ion frce of charge. After daylight, there
being no westward bound trains due, they
started, some without {hats or shoes to walk
to Saybrook junction aidistance of seventeen
miles. 0n the way down they stopped at
several farmhouses asking for something to
eat, but. being a hard looking crowd did not
succeed in obtaining it till later in the day
when they struck an old sea captain who
believed their story, and entertained them.
At the' Junction they took the New York
owl train for Westport, arriving at 5 a. in.
Monday, full conscious of their narrow escape

Here is a story for those little boys who
have a mind to run away with the circus.
Leotard Carlo was made a performer in the
ring when he was only two years old, begin-
ning as a posturant for riders, and afterward
becoming expert on the trapeze. He wore
the brightest of spangled costumes, smiled
industriously while at work, and altogether
was an object of envy to juvenile spectators.
A _few days ago a pitiablc ragged and wan
child of 12 was caught stealing a drink of
milk from a can in a Boston street. Being
' arrested, he said he was Leotard Carlo, that
lameness had incapacitated him of gymnas-
tic feats, and that for months he had been a
starving, sheltcrless tramp.

Sunday Schools in the Adiron-

The religious condition of Northern New
York is invested with new interest in these
times of increasing resort thither.
In Essex County, N. Y., are about twelve
thousand children. An officer of the County
Union Association, in giving a detailed report
of the Sunday schools of the county, states :
“In Elizabethtewn, the shire town of the
county, there is but one school that lives
through the winter. Lewis, one of the bug
est towns in the ecunty, has but one school.
The statistics of the county show that less
than one-third of the children of school age
attend the Sunday school.” A missionary of
the American Sunday School Union in
Northern New York is rapidly supplying
these lamentable destitutions.

. The Tragedy at West Haven.
The jury of inquest on Jennie Cramer’s
death resumed their hearing at West Haven
Tuesday. Blanche Douglass was examined,
but her testimony is looked upon as unrelia—
ble, since it is proved that she does not live
in a certain house in New York as she stated.
She testified that she came from New York
to New Haven a month ago, and with J ennio
Cramer and James and Walter Malley spent
last Wednesday night at Edward Malley’s
house. Her reason for staying all night was
that she was taken sick, and Miss Cramer
stayed to keep her company and slept With
her. The next day both went to Mr. Cra-
iner’s house and told a pro-arranged story
that Miss Cramer stayed with her at the ho-
tel. M'l‘s. Cramer, according to the witness,
upbraided J ennic, and the ' latter, fearing her
father’s anger, said she would leave thchouse
and go with witness. Miss Douglass did not
want this, and went away alone. The next
and last time she saw Jennie was Thursday
noon on a horse-car bound for West Haven.
Jennie did not see her. James Malley tes-
tified that Jennie Cramer and Blanche Doug-
'lass were at Malley’s house Wednesday
evening, and at his request stayed all night.
He last saw Miss Cramer in the morning
when he and Walter Malley bade the girls
good-by.
At the informal session, Mendy, Dr. Prud-
' den, who made the autopsy, said he had made
suspicious discoveries. but he has taken part
of the body to New York to finisliihis exami~
nation and make a full report, The evidences
of seduction are said to be conclusive, and
there was no water in the stomach, which
tends to disapprove the suicide theory any
show death or unconsciousness before the bed
reached the water. There was a small cut on
the girl’s lip, and it is said close scrutend
wills how’how it was made. .
Dr. Pruden has sent a dispatch to the jury
in reference to the further cxamination,which
is said to be of great importance to J amcs
Malley. The hearing has been adjourned to
Tuesday morning of this week.
Blanche Douglass has been found to be an .
inmate of a house of ill-fame in New York
and she has lately confessed that she told
some untruths at the inquest, to shield the
Malley boys. ,‘She now admits that she accu-
picd a room at the Malley liousewith Walter
and that Jennie occupied another with J amcs
but pcrsits in her statement that the last time
she saw Jennie was Thursday noon. She
says Jennie was very wild, and she thinks
not altogether innocent. She claims to have
been offered $1,000, last week, to travel in
Europe for a year. She was arrested in New
York, Saturday, on a charge of perjury, and
taken to New Haven, where she will testify
before the coroncrs jury today. It is evident
that much reliance cannot be placed on her
statements. Jennie was undoubtedly seduced
by Malley, but it is hard to believe that he
deliberately murdered her, and equally un-
likely that she committed suicidc. It is a
great mystery which will probably never be
cleared up.
The Malley boys have been arrested and
the inquest to-day will be exciting. .

On Thursday the Cincinnati Commercial
announced that Captain C. A. Cook, of
Brownsville, Ohio, who slapped George Mor-
rison’s mouth for saying that he hoped the
President would die of his wound, had been
fined $10 and costs for assault. The fine
~and costs amounted to $32, and the Commer-
cial proposed that the sum be raised by citi-
zens of Cincinnati, no citizen being allowed
to give more than a cent. The response was
lively. On the following morning the 00m—
mercz‘al announced that before the afternoon
of Thursday had gone the number of cents
contributed reached the sum of $32, and by'
night there was a handsome surplus which it
announced “will be devoted to a gold-headed
cane or gold watch, or, perhaps, a farm,”
adding: “Captain Cook is the hero of the
day. It was a slap that went to. the right
spot. It was the right thing at the right
time and place." So say we all of us.

The prosperity of the numerous summer
resorts along the New Jersey coast has given
rise to a project for building a railroad skirt-
ing the beach, to make,'with the roads now
in existence, 8. continuous line all the way
from Sandy Hook to Cape May. Such a road
running in view of the ocean for a hundred
and fifty miles, and crossing numerous bays
and inlets, would be sure to become a popu-
lar route for pleasure travel. One‘of its ef—
fects would be to bring those attractive
watering places, Atlantic City and Cape
May, within the range of New York patron-
age. Another would be to build up many
new resorts in the region between Sea Girt
and Atlantic City. The long strip of clean
sandy beach separating Barnegat Bay from the
Atlantic would afford almost limitless room
for the growth of such resorts.
When we consider the amounts paid to the
different members of the royal family of
England as annuities out of the Consolidated
Fund, we begin 'to see what an expensive
luxury regality is. Her Majesty leads 'the
list. She receives £385,000 3 year, which is
a little over £1,000 per diem,or about $5,000.
Even the Duchess of Teck has £5,000 a
year, or £13 and a little over a day, and the
Duchess of Mecklenburg Strelitz‘ £3,000 a
year, or £8 45 5d a day. The Prince of
Wales has..£40,000 per annum, or £109 a day.
The, whole amount paid to all these pensiOn-
are out of the Fund is £17,566,666 13 s 4d.
Add to this that the Queen also gets £32,000
a year from the Duchy of Lancaster. and the
Prince of Wales £60,000 from the Duchy of
Cornwall. But the English people have one
comfort which seems to be denied to us Be-
publicans when we arcswindled by our mag-
nates. It is not their own fault.

, During the past fifty years, the Memphis
Avalanche thinks there has not been so long
a duration of extremely hot weather as has
been felt in most parts of the country, but
especially, perhaps, in the South, since about
the middle of June. The year 1881 will long
be rembered as the searching year, when the
North was visited by more sunstrokcs and
more storms and whirlwinds than in any
previous year during the past fifty, when
more houses were blown down and more lives
destroyed by tornadoes than ever before, and
when the South was more generally burnt up
in her corn crops. .

Important Letter from Secretary
Windom.
At the meeting of the National Bankers
and Broker’s Convention at Niagara Falls,
last week, the following highly Interesting
letter from the Secretary of the Treasury
was read. It is in Mr. Windom’s accusotmed
vein, as conspicuous for its modest simplicity
as for clearness and ability. It will well rc-
pay a careful reading :
I regret that circumstances will not permit
me to accept your invitation to be present,
and as the funding operations to which you
refer are not quite completed, no precise
statement of the transaction can yet be given.
It may be stated, however that when I on-
tered upon the duties of my presen position,
in March last, I found that of the bonded
indebtedness of the Government, there were
of five per cent. bonds, redeemable at the
option of the Government after May 1, 1880,
the amount of $469,320,650, of which the
amount of $146,101,900 was represented by
coupon bonds; and of six per cent, bonds
redeemable at the option of the Government
after July 1, 1881, the amount of $202,266,~
550, of which $45,391,000 were represented
by coupon bonds. Only the coupons for the
quarterly interest falling due on May 1, 1881,
remained upon the coupon 5 per cents and
none upon the coupon 6 per cents, the next
semi-annual interest upon which would fall
due on July 1, 1881, The Refunding Act,
by which it was proposed to retire all of
these bonds and to issue therefore bonds
bearing a lower rate of interest, with several
yearn to run before the Government had the
option of payment, after having received
much consideration by Congress during the
last session, had failed to become a law; and
the only resources of the Government to meet
the nil'turing obligations were the surplus
revenues, and the amount of $104,552,200 4
per cent. bonds being a part of those author-
izedb the Acts of July 13, 1880, and Jan.
20, 1 1, and remain unissued.
The sources were not sufiicient to provide
for all the maturing bonds, and owing to the
length of time "which such four per cent
bonds had to run before maturity, it was not
deemed advisable to issue more of the loan,
:1 sub issue could well be avoided. While
there Was no impative necessity for providing
for the registered bonds of the maturing
loans, some plan was needed to meet the
interest payments on the coupon bonds; and
there Seemed to be no practicable method of
meeting these payments without considerable
expense to the Government, as well as to the
holders of the bonds. Finally, to meet the
demand of public creditors, and at the same
time to avoid the calling of an extra , session
of Congress, which seemed to be the only
other alternative, the plan was matured,
which was put into operation, and has proved
successful.
Under this plan, on April 11, there was
called for absolute payment on July, 1, 1881.
the small loan of $688,200, bearing 6 per
cent. interest, and known as the Oregon war
debt; and at the same time for payment on
the same date the 6 per cent. loans Acts of
July 17 and August 5, 186I, amounting to
$140,544,650” and Act of March 3, 1863,
amounting to ' $55,145,750; but, to the hold-
ers of the bonds of the two latter loans per-
mission to have their bonds continued at the
pleasure of the Government, with interest
at the rate of 33,- per centum per annum,
provided they should so request, and the
bonds should be received by the treasury for
that purpose on or'before the 10th day of
May, 1881 ; and in case of coupon bonds,
registered stock of the» same loan should be
issued therefor. The six per cent. bonds to
‘be continued were promptly received in a
large amount, and new registeredaes issued
therefore, with the fact of their continuance
stamped upon their face; but it was subse-
quently deemed advisable to extend the time
for the receipt of the old bonds to May 20,
1881. It was also found that foreign bond
holders of the six per cent. bonds were in-
clined to dispose of their investments, rather
than to send them to the Treasury for ex—
change ; and the immediate payment of so
many bonds abroad being likely to cause a
drain of coin from this country and disturb
business, an agency for the exchange of the
bonds in London was established.
This plan for continuing the sixes has
proved entirely satisfactory, there havng
been presented in due time for continuance
3s per cent. interest the amount of $178,055,-
150, leaving to be paid ofl from the surplus
revenue $23,211,400, for which the Treasury -
had ample resources.
Having succeeded in disposing of the six
per cents on May 12, the Department gave
notice that the coupon bonds of the loans of
July 14, 1870, and January 20, 1871, would
be paid on July 1, 1881, with alike privilege
of continuing the bonds at 3;- per cent. to
such of the holders as might request; and at
the same time the Treasury offered to receive
for continuance in like manner any of the
uncalled registered bonds of that loan to an
amount not exceeding $250,000,000 the re-
mainder of the loan being reserved with a
view of its payment from the surplus reve-
nues.
The continued three and a half per cent.
bonds, having a market price slightly above _
par, the five per cents in question were rap-
idly presented, and it became necessary to
extend somewhat the limit fixed for the
amount of registered bonds to be accepted
for continuance.
On July 1 a notice for the payment’on
October 1, 1881, of the uegistered fives not
continued was given, and the resources of
the Treasury with be ample to meet their
payment. The transaction concerning the
five per cents. are before stated, not being
completed. Probably there will be continued
in all__r.bout $100,000,000 of this loan, leav-
ing to be paid $39,708,050, the . remainder of
the loan having already been paid from the
surplus revenue under calls previously
made. '
By this plan the Department has been not
only relieved from the embarrassment of the
payment of the coupon interest, but has re
duced all the 6 and 5,per cent. loans of the
Government to a loan payable at the option
of the Government, and bearing interest at
only 3% per cent. per annum; and this, with
the trifling expense to the Government of
preparing the new registered bonds, and of
paying the actual expenses of the London
agency, at which only three persons have
been employed for a few weeks. issuing about
$44,500,000 of the continued bonds. The
saving to the Government through the con-
tinuance of these bonds is every gratifying.
On the six pee cents. continue the annual
saving hereafter in interest will be 84,451,-
378.74. On the five per cents, assuming
$400,000 to‘be continued, the annual saving
will be about $6,000,000, making a total an-
nual saving hereafter in the‘interest of the
public debt of $0,451,378.75.
Meanwhile, from March, 1 to October 1,
1881, when-these operations will . have been
completed, there will be paid of six per cents
$24,211,400,and of five per cents $69,320,650,
making an additional annual saving in inter—
est of $4,918,716 50—3 total reduction of the
interest charge in seven months of $15,370,-
095 25. In other words, the annual interest
charge, which was on March 1, 1881, $76,-
845,937 50, will be on October 1, 1881, as
nearly as can now be stated, $61,475,842 25.
This saving in interest can hereafter be
plied to the reduction of the debt, thus reduc-
ing it and the burdens arising therefrom more
rapidly than heretofore. ' ~
The letter was listened to with close atten-
tion, and was frequently applauded. It was
ordered printed, and a vote of thanks to the
Secretary was passed.
