Tho New York, determined to win at all hazards, was put through at »he top of her %peed atnearlv all times, and not only kept her big wheels going at an average of eighty revolutions to the minute, but she took the northerly course over the banks, liskinsc fojr and a possible iceberg, thus materially cutting down tho distance. The Teutonic, which was on her maiden round- trip, gave a per.orm;ince which was re- m.'i'kable for a new boat, lowering the maiden record. Her average number of revolutions was probably below sixty-five, while she is capable of eighty. In addition to this, she took the sou'.heily course around the banks, her officers and Mr. Ismay. the chief owner, who WHS aboard, not caring to risk too much for speed. When these facts are considered, it will bo seen that under exactly similar conditions t;.ere is but little aciual difference in the spoed of ti.e two I outs, and, if the races ape continued, mnny exciting and close con­ tests may be looked for. The chief interest in England centers in the Teutonic, which i.-> a magnificent ex­ periment ia marine architecture. tShe is a novelty in more wnys than one. being the longest steams-hip atloat.'und built as to in­ terior arrang- nil nts and machinery on new plans, liu.t the principal leatuieof inter­ est to Americans is t);e fact that she was constmcted under a subsidy of the Br.tish Government, rnd upon demand can In forty-eight i curs atter leaching port be turned into a toimidable war vessel with an armament of etlVct ve llve-incn guns. She is thus to th«* Fnglish navv M h-.t the militia THE LOOKOUT STATION. is to the army. In pursuance.of this plan, all her vital machinery is placed below the water-line, and protected by coal-bunkers. In other respects naval models are iollowed where so doing will not aff.-ct the use of the ship as a passenger craft. It is thus that the hngli.-h Government takes a parental interest in the doings of the Teu­ tonic, lor at any moment it may become an important fnctor in conducting naval oper­ ations, being especially calculated to be of service in transporting la.ge bodies of troops and boln •, unlik** most transports, able to deiend herself with vigor. This, and the Majestic, a sistor ship, are the flrst subsidized Anieiican liners, and the experi­ ment is watched with greiit interest by other nations, especially France mid Italy. The Teutonic has a length of 5821'eet, be­ ing the longest craft afloat. This may not convey much of an idea of her length to shore-going people, but it will strike sailors as something a little remarkable. It wtil be remember what a great fuior „was aroused over the Great Eastern on her first trip to America, f he was looked upon as a marvel in size and appointment, and was visited by thousands, making more money as a show than as a freight and passenger car ier. It will also be remembered how the monster was lound 10 beunmana eable In a heavy son, and condemned to a 11 e of inactivity. It was supposed at that time that the limit of ocean boat construction had been exceeded by one-hal f at least, but now comes the Teutonic with a length of but thirty-six feet shorter than that of the Great Eastern, and the sureness and ease with ON DECK. .87 8.00 4.00 2.S0 & 4.50 ® 4.50 - & 4.25 .77)4 .32*4(4 .33* .28 ® .24 M @ .79 .35'4<tf ,36Vfc .21W" .22!$ M (g .45 4.00 & 4.25 8,00 ("<• 4.00 8,00 m 3.0) 3,8) & 4.23 .

Before, tho Great Eastern came the Great Western, which was but 210 feet in and made the trip across in eighteen days. something whicn was- then pro­ nounced by the New York papers of that timo as "a matchless performance." In those days it was oredicted that this vessel of 210 feet would break in two. owing to her extreme lenarth. The launching of the Teutonic marks an epoch in ship-builders' art almost as well <>eflned as that marked by the Great Wvst- orn in 1838. ishe built of Siemens-Martin steel, and is prgyelled by two independent nets 01 trlplu f;pan«ion engini-8, driving twin propeller* wltb Manganese bronze JflKdes, a>4 are the strongest known to the ond one. The elegance of the boat in fit- tirn-s end decorations is a matter of course, and it is enough to say that evorvthlng to conduce to the com'ort'of tho passengers is present. The main saloon is decoi ated in the renaissance period and the prevailing tones are ivory and pold.

The gem lemen's smoke-room is es­ pecially sumptuous for one of its character, and even the second cabin accommo iations exceed in com'ort, if not elegance, tho first-class accommodations of soma of the oilier lines. Forward in the hold are electric light .plants, by ifrhfch the whole snip is lighted: refrige.-atQr p.nd i< e machines. « ondenssrs for distilling • suit water lor culinary pur­ poses. Iri'fliet, the boat itself is an ob­ ject of curifisity to old ocean t avolers. and while ip New York on its first visit it was thrown' open to the public at 25 cents per head, and had (J.000 visitors a day, the pso'eeds poin.r to local charities. The hors^-power and s<p ed made by the Teutonic oft i er I rial-trip are an office secret, but /ICI» officers give it out that after a few tripp she will develop surprising speed. , SpeakiTid of the Teutonic, a Liverpool paper staroa that its success has d mon- st ated the. feasibility or larce bouts to a body of American capitalists- who have been coijnileiing tho establishment of a line of tensor twelve ships, none of which are to have a tonnage o. 1 -as than 12.0J0.

Hearing, therefore, iai the only special sense which is not kcfiVe at 'this time. The child hears Ur the third or fourth day. Taste and si^ell are senses at first most active, but /hev are not differentiated. General ojjpanic sensations of well- being or diityonifor^ are felt from the first; but pain and pleasure, as mental states, are Jot nottd till at or near the second monti. The first jign of speech in the shape of utteran® of consonant sounds is heard in thj latter part of the second month, thee consonants being gen­ erally "n^/'K," "g," or "t." All the movements « the eyes become co-ordi­ nate by 'he kmvth month, and by this time thechil(l begins to have the "feel­ ing of s«lf tliftt is, - he looks at hia own hands antl ]c#»ks at himself in the mirror.

CIOM of the Cat-ear of m Great Anther, m Painstaking /Writer, and a Genial, Whole-souled Gentleman--Incidents la His Career. A London dispatch says: Wilkie Colling, the famous novelist, died Mondav morning. At midnight a friend who had been at the house brought news that the end was near. Mr. Collins had been ailing for some and finally succumbed to an attack of bronchitis. The great novelist who has just died was the most cherished friend of Charles Dickens, to whom he was related by mar­ riage. Collins was torn in London in January, 1824, and was the son of a cele­ brated painter. After completing his school education he went on a trip to Italy with his parents. He was articled for fpur years to a tea merchant, but soon tired of commercial life and entered Lin­ coln's Inn as a student of law. While there he began literary work. His first ambitious production was a biography of his father, published In 1S48. From this time he devoted himself entirely to litera­ ture: His principal stories are: "An- tonina," "After Dark." "Dead Secret," "Woman in White," "No Name," "Moon­ stone, " and "New Magdalen." Mr. Collins has written some dramatic works, ol which the "Frozen Deep" is probably the best known. Other stories written by Mr. Collins have been almost as successful as those mentioned. Among them are "Arma­ dale," Man and Wife," and "Poor Miss Finch." Most of them contain deep and intricate plots, the interest being centered upon this feature rather than upon the strength of the characters themselves. Publishers were always eager to secure his works. Mr. Collins made from $150,000 to $200,000 by his pen. and by shrewd investment of the money became a com­ paratively wealthy man. - Wilkie Collins was of a genial and affa­ ble disposition, and made many friends in this country on the occasion of his visit here some twelve or fifteen years ago. He was a tireless worker, and though his A Passenger Coaeh Ban Into by a Fraig|t --WM Killed and Thirteen Turrlhly T»* jnred--The Victim* Scalded by Escaping | Steam--A Horrible Siglit. ; [Chicago telegram.] Through the wanton carelessnea of En­ gineer Seth Twombley live lives were sac­ rificed in a wreck on the Rock Island Eailway, near Auburn Junction, % sub­ urban station of Chicago. The passen­ ger train had just passed the junction station and was stopped by a train cross­ ing on an intersecting line, when Twom- bley's freight came rushing up from be­ hind and sent its engine crashing into the pnssenger. Before it struck the passen­ ger train Twombley and his fireman jumped off and made their escape. All of the killed save one were frtHB Washington Heights.

' THE OLD NAVYjAND THE NEW. A Contrast That Shows Greatly to the Lfttter's Advantage. An effective contrast,, well illustrating the difference between the old navy and the new, is presented by the fact that while the Baltimore was getting ready for a trial run that developed her maximum of 20 1-5 knots, the Iroquois, which had been under repairs at Mare island, also had a trial trip and made an average of 7 15-20 knots and a maximum of little over 8 knots with a favoring tide. The Iroquois was one of the vessels we were relying upon for over­ awing the Germans at Apia and a'terward for sanding up to Eehring sea to help the Rush to chase the sealers and to frighten the 16-knot armor-clad Bwiitsure and her companions. We can afiord to be amused now at the relics of the old fleet like the Iroquois, when at San Francisco is found the Charleston with her average of lb 2-1 knots and ^maximum of 18J knots made on her trial trip. The gunboat l etrel, Which failed at first to develop the horse-power required, 1,100, is believed to be capable of that power now, and it is probable that she will be accepted by the department. Her builders, however, will have to pay |5,l»00 penalties. SERIOUS CHURCH SQUABBLE. Two Factions Accuse Kach Other of Set­ ting Fire to the Church Building. At Red Lake Falls, Minn., S& Joseph's Catholic <hurch was discovered to be on fire last night at midnight, and before the Games were gotten under con­ trol the church and its contents were to­ tally destroyed. The fire is tbe sequel to an intensely bitter fight which has been raging between the French and German Catholics of Polk county for six months. The fire was incendiary, as the men first on the scene claim they saw a three gallon can of oil underneath the altar. Catholics here are much affected over the occurrence. Each faction claims the other is guilty of the crime. Rev. Father Mareil, who was at first suspected by his enemies, was at tbe West Bide for three hours previous to and at tho timo of the fire, and so could not have taken any personal part in the affair. A feeling of depression pervades the whole Catholic community on account of it Bishop Ireland is severely censured for not giving prompt attention to the troubles here. MINE. h* a i?". , 4^- lit? ow,,;, ,• A REDISCOVERED_AN OLD A Rich Treasure Field Found Hunter In California, Monterey, Cal., dispatch' Intelli­ gence has been brought to town by one of the Foreman boys, who lives near the head of the Carmel river, that the long-lost mine known to early settlers as the "Maria Roman Mine" had been found. He had often been told how an Indian woman used to go away and in the course of a fe*$r days return with large amounts of silver ore, iv hich she would assay herself at the mine. Where the mine was located had always been a mystery, and even to-day some old Indians around Monterey tell about the lost mine which old Marie '.Ionian had. The mine, if accounts arc correct, is located near the head of the Carmel river, about fifteen miles from Monterey, and was found by Mr. Foreman while deer hunting. He also found the old furnace and instruments with which Marie used to crush ore. The news has created groat excitement here and several parties are making preparations to go the mine.

A St. Paul dispatch says: Judge Nel­ son in the United States Circuit c«.»urt iu this city has decided the Minnesota a.iti- dressed beef law unconstitutional. The caso was this: On last Monday H. E. Barber, an agent of Armour & Oo. of Chicago, was arrested at White &?ar, Minn., for selling there for human f< od 100 pounds of fresh beef which was part of an animal which had been slaughtered in Chicago and which animal bad not been in­ spected "on the hoof" in the Sstate of Minnesota. The prisoner was iound guilty and was sentenced to jail for thirty days. He at once presented his petition for a writ of habeas corpus to Judge Nelson, sitting in the United States Circuit court. The case was fully argued The State of Minnesota was rep­ resented by Judge Cole, the author of the law, and the county attorney. Judge Nelson took tbe < ase under advisement and has decided that the law is in conflict with the provisions of the constitution of the United States and discharged the prisoner. A DISS0LVER OF STONE. Anirnst Boorfried, a St. Paul Workman, Lay* Claim to a Wonderful I»iscovery. A stone cutter of St. Paul, Minn., named August Boorfried has discovered a combi­ nation of chemicals by the use of which the hardest stone can be dissolved and cast into any desired shape, the casting being as hard as flint, translucent and capable of taking on a brilliant luster.

The train had stopped to let an incoming train from the Washington Heights branch pass and to uncouple the rear car when freight train No. 91 crashed into the rear. The passengeis in the forward cars were badly frightened, but did not real­ ize the extent of the accident for soma time. They heard the crash nnd felt a •light shock, but did not take in the situ­ ation until the smoke and hissing steam attrncted their attention. The greatest confusion followed, and nearly every one rushed from the train. The locomotive had forced its way clear inside of the rear coach, and the hissing steam and the shrieks of the wounded and imprisoned passengers increased the horror. There were between twenty-five and thirty people on board the fated car, andj that any of them escaped alive is a mira­ cle. Tbe passengers from the other carsj at once lent a helping hand, and manyt were saved who but for timely assistance' must have succumbed to the scalding steam and choking smoke from the en­ gine. By some at present inexplicable reason, the freight was ten minutes ahead of time, and presumably to this is the sad accident alone due. The track is a straight one at this point, and Engineer Twom-: bley must have seen the passenger ahead; some time before he struck it. He says that he reversed bis engine immediately and whistled dgwn brakes, but the veloc­ ity of the train proved too great to ho halted in time to avoid the smash-up. According to some of the spectators the freight was running at the rate of twentyj^ * miles an hour. It was a heavily loaded train, and from the fact that the engine: crashed almost its whole length intotha' car without seriously injuring the side>f f. it must have been running at a high Kit* of speed. j The todies of the dead were in a horrfc ble condition, and in some instances werai literally cooked. Miss Kelly was so' badly scalded that it was almost imposBi-' ble to distinguish her features at all. J()HNST0W^S_DEATH LIST. According; to the Issue of the New Dl- ' rectory It Numbers 3,500. Johnstown (Pa.) dispatch: The new directory of Johnstown has just been pub*} lished by C. B. Clarke, of Altoona.

From the proof sheets, however, the names] were obtained, and are now printed at- they were before the flood, as well as a' special record of those that were lost. The number of deceased is put at 8,500, and' that is considered a close estimate, it being impossible to obtain the exact figures, THE CZARJN DANGER. An Alleged Plot Against Bis Lite Results Unsuccessfully. London dispatch: A story from St. Petersburg says that previous to the' Czar's departure for Copenhagen a' chest of sdynamite exploded at ther Peterhoff station. The building waa' badly wrecked and a railway signal man' ' was killed. It is fully believed that thaj intention was to have the explosion takaj place when the Czar passed through the; station on his way to the train, bub that through some miscalculation it oc­ curred before the time of His Majesty's departure. Profiles of the* Ship Canal. | Washington dispatch: R. I. Corthell and O. Guthrie of Chicago have requested Gen. Casey to instruct Capt. Marshall, the government engineer at Chicago, to fur­ nish profiles of the boring for the ship canal through the Sag route, Mud lake route, and Lies Plaines route to Lemont,1 and also from Joliet to Marseilles. Gen. Casey told them that if this information was officially called for by the judges fix­ ing the boundaries he would take it under consideration. This answer is considered as favorable. The object of this inquiry is to ascertain whether there is an exag­ gerated estimate of the cost of building this canal made upon tho supposition that most of the bed is rock, and in order that the people who are to vote upon the ques- , tion next November may have the results of the latest surveys. Important Land Decision. Secretary Noble has decided that where a settler locates on railroad land before the definite charts and maps of the railroad company setting forth its entries reach the general land office, and he relinquishes hia. claim to the land for any reason whatever even on the advice of the local land officer! he can not again renew the claim or have his entry transmitted. In other word3, the settler must pursue his claim and take- an appeal from the local to the general land office in order to succeed. A number of decisions have been rendered by local land officers giving priority to railroads in locating their lands and shutting out claims of settlers, which the secretary de* dares erroneous.
