A ROMANCE OF THE SEA.

Reinailcaule Adventures or a Steam ship Engineer. New York, October ]9.-The "World" says : The Superior Court of this city will aoon be called upon to listen to a Btory of the most pronounced Jules Verne order, and when the case of William Doherty against the Pacific Mail Steamship Com pany is called the plaintiff will astonish the Court by a wonderful tale of hair-breadth e°eapes after many close changes with death. The story, as told by Doherty in an affidavit already put on file, is that on May sth of last year tho plaintiff, who was in Panama, asked for and was appointed to the position ot assistant engineer on the Pacific Mail Steamship Company's eteamer Honduras, bound from that port for various stopping places down tho Wostorn South American coast. The crew was a mixed one _ Spaniards, Mexicans, and such. Among tho crew was a Portuguese known as Ramon, who, as oiler, regarded himself aa heir to tho position taken by Doherty, and hated tho nowcomer as an interloper. The steamer had only been five days from jort when Dohorty says ho overheard a conversation botwoen .Ramon and a Spanish passongor, in which it was determined that tho IS. orthorner should be dirked and thrown ovorboard. From that time Dohorty dared not sleep in his berth atnight, lost a treacher ous Portuguese should thrust a dagger into his breaat. He caught sleep as he could, standing at his post, and several times he thought ho detected his foe crawling upon him in tho darkness. He says he was compelled literally to dodge for Ins life every time his enemy or enemies came near, for both Kamon and tho Spanish passenger were watching him. When he could ondurfjit no longer Dohorty appealed to Alfred Pardco, Chief Enginoer, and was greeted with a round of laughter, and was advised to jump into tho water if he did not care to remain aboard the ship He mado such provision as he could to dio fighting. He wrote several lotters to his wffo and friends", which he directed and loft aboard the ship, only to learn subsequently that thoy had been thrown overboard, and then waited with anch fortitude as he could summon for tho attack of the assassins. It camo on tho night of May 21st, when the ship lay eight miles oil tho port of San Jose do Guatemala, and Doherty was on the deckwatch. Tho night was black, and tho hunted engineer foil, that tho occa sion was 'ittal for tho bloody work his foes 'had dctorininod upon. Ifo Bays hojioard a light tread near him as ho stood watching, and (lion camo tho rush of tho two mur derers, Dohorty ilrow his own Itnifo and fought with desperation for life, but tho odds wero enormously against him, and when he was forced to tho vessel's side ho suddenly turned and plunged overboard to tako a faint flicker of hopo by swimming to tho Blioro. Tho wator swarmed with sharks, and Iho faint ongineor was in no condition for Huch ft long swim. What gavo him norvo and vigour was tho thought of wife) and babies away oil in New York waiting and praying for his return. He slipped out of much of his olothoc as ho drifted by the vessel's sido and then started shorowards. All night long ho alternately breasted tho long swell and floated, resting and pant ing on his back. Daylight came and ho was still in tho water, but tho shore, a littlo over a mile away, .gave him oncourage ment, and ho was soon ablo to etagger half unconscious up the sand beach, only to drop in a faint abovo high-water mark. It was not until noon that he awoko and looked for aid. lib took employment with a farmor, and when a measuro of his strength hail roturned hostruck out for a long trump nearly '200 miles, across tho republic to a small seaport named Livingstone, whero he worked his way homo. Then when in March last he reached Now York, it was only to find that his wife, relying on tho reports that ho had jumped ovorboaid, had married again. Ho asked for some sort of recompense from tho Paoilic Mail Steam ship Companj, but was confronted with his own death certificate as proof that ho had no claim. Broken down in health by his Buffering, ho listened to tho advico of friends and began a suit for 1*30,000, claim ing that when ho entered tho eorvico of tho Company ho was entitled to protection, which, when ho applied to tho Chief-En gineer, was not given him.

COLLIERY DISASTER.

Four Miners'Cillcd,

Wn.KEsnAiuiE(Ponn.), October 21.—A ter rific explosion of gas took placo in No. 2 stopc of tho Delaware and Hudson Coal Co. at Plymouth this morning. Tho accident was caused by a minor, who entered an abandoned portion of tho stopo which was marked " Dangerous" with n naked lamp in his hand, thoreby firing tho gas and causing a terrific explosion, Tho minor who vrent into tho abandoned opon ing and tired tho gas that caused the explosion at IV o. - shaft was Potar Zelintsky. Thoro woro two explosions, Tho first was that of gas, which was soon followed by another, sweeping everything beforo it, sending a flame of firo up tho stopo and above tho fanhoueo, and sending the shingles and timber from tho breaker living 400 feet above tho earth. Zelinteky was not killed, and was removed from the stopo with only his boots, and no hair on his head. Ho was othorwise unin jured, Tho fceno that ensued was torriblo. Tho victims of tho disaster lay in ovory direction. Dennis Titus was instantly killed, and when found lay 200 foot away from lub kit of tools, which ho wns examining at the time of tho oxplosion When tho gas was ignited all the men in the stopo woro violently thrown to tho ground, or against cars or ribs of the gaii|!\vay. Tho light* on thoir heads wore extinguished by the shock of tho second oxplosion, and all woro in confusion, mak ing thoir way through tho flames and managing with great difficulty to reach a piaco of safety. Four miners wore killed outright, and twolve others woro so horribly burned and breathed flame to such an ex tent that their injurios are considered fatal,

FATAL FIRE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, October 19. —Thoro was a tor ribly quick-spreading firo in tho brick cottago at S(i, Vornon Tark Place, owned and occupied by VV. T. Balos, a few minutes siftor tix o'clock this morning, in which four persona veto burned to doath. A family, consisting of livo persons and sorvant girl, occupiod tho building, and all but two met a terrible death. The alarm was soundod at 0.25 a.m., and whon tho iiromon arrived on tho scene the house was in flumes. Tho Fire Marshal found Mr Bates in an alloy at tho side of tho houeo Buffering from severe bruises, but he was ablo to toll tho Btory of tho catastrophe Ho said that at G o'clock this morning the servant girl started a firo in tho kitchon and went out of doors a moment later, leaving the door opon. Sho returned in a minuto or two, and fuund tho kitchen in a blaze. Batos was aroused by tho girl's scroama, and rushed into tho kitchen and tried to extinguish the flames, first with a hose attached to tho hydrant, and afterwards by buckets. Not succeeding, he sent in an alarm. Tho fireman oxtin guished the flames in about fifteen minutes, but whon they entered tho house they found the charred remains of tho entire family, with tho exception of Mr Baton. They woro Mrs Mary E. Bates, aged- 35 ; John Bates, agod 5; Edward Bates, an infant, and Mrs Dreylson, aged 70, tho mother of Mrs Batos. The partitions and nails of tho house wore lined with felt, and whon tho blaze once started, it spread with frightful rapidity. The charred bodies were removed to tho Morgue. Nothing has been hoard of the sorvant girl since her flight. It is also said that the brother of Mrs Bates was lodging ir. tho house and was soon about the placo when the firo was iii progress, but suddenly disappeared. I

AN IOWA FARMER BRUTALLY MUR DERS HIS BROTHER.

1 Sioux City (la.), October 16.—Tho most horrible murder that ovor disgraced Wood bury County occurred in West Fork town ship last evening. Ja3. and John Johnson, brothers, lived together on a farm. John was married, and James was a single man about 28 yi are old. Yestorday they had a house-raising, after which a keg of buer wra tapped. The two brothers quar relled, and James waa ordered from tho liouee. He went out on tho prairio, and remained till about 11 o'clock. Ho then returned to the house and found his brother John asleep in bed. Taking an old army rifle, ho loaded it, placed the muzzle to John's head, and blew his brains out. Not satisfied with this, ho loaded the pun again and fired another charge into his brothor's head, scattering the blood and brains over the walla of the room. The murderer re mained at the house two hours, and then in formed the neighbours that his brother was dead. He waa immediately placed under arrest, and subsequently mado a confession. On the way to this city with an officer they mot a waggon with a coffin for tho mur dered man, and Johnson being told that he

would never ccc his brother again, said, "Yes, I will; I will meat him in hell.-"' The wife of the murdered man stood by and paw the crime committed, agreeing that it was the proper thing to do. She has not been .wonted.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

Dr. Arthur Gore, who returned to San Francisco recently from a trip through the United States of Colombia, says : Since the failure of the Company to receive a new loan, a spirit of- demoralisation seems to have settled down upon the whole enterprise. Nothing of any conse quence is being accomplished at present. Workmen are being discharged right and left, and auction sales of mules, carts, and other property are of frequent occurrence. It ia said that the Sub-Director-General in tends to remove his head quarters to Colon, and that tho Grand Hotel, built by the Canal Company, is to be sold. Nearly all the merchants of Panama hold " canal paper," as it is called, and the larger owners are feeling very blue over tho prospect in store for tho enterprise. Dr. Goro is satisfied that the whole proceeding has been worked by egregious frauds from the begin ning, and for the 8120,000,000 already ex pended there is nothing to show in the way of a canal but a superficial scratch in tho hard mass of volcanic rock through which it v, as proposed to cut a passage. Large sums of money have been spent in tho construc tion of residences for officers, houses for workmen, hospitals, shops, tool-houses, &c, nearly all of which were built by contractors who have bled the country most unmercifully. Some very handsome buildings and grounds now mark the line of the canal at the various points where it was thought best to begin operations. Gazing on these palpable evidences of extravagance, tho French residents remark — " C'cst magnifiquc, metis cc n'entpan h canal." The surveyors' stakes were supplied under con tract for 25d01s apiece, and all the other preliminary arrangements have been male on a scalo and at a cost that would bank rupt a company with anything less than the wealth of " Ormua and of Ind " at its back.

HOW TO AVOID DIVORCE.

The number of marriages in France (writes a correspondent) remains much as usual, but the demands for divorco are increasing so rapidly that not a little alarm is felt in conservative circles, where the new legislation on the subject is regarded as dangerous. It appears that the law on divorco is more liberal in Switzerland than in any othor country; and the authorities of. Zurich, alarmed at the rapidity with which married pooplo are un marrying thomselvos, have adopted a practical plan of reconciling partners who ask to bo freed of the matrimonial yoke on tlio usual ground of incompatibility of toinper, which plan is declared to bo almost always successful. A husband and wife domanding divorco on this ground nvo now ordered to bo confined for a fort night in a town en an island in tho lake, wlioro they, are quartered together in a solitary chamber, with one bed, one chair, one knife, ono plato, ono cup, he., so that in their rising up and getting down down, in thoir eating mid drinking, in thoir Hooking of tho recreation of " balmy sleep," they arc absolutely depondout upon oach other's courtesy and consideration. It is declared that in nearly every such case, the quai-relsome couplos who submitted to this regime became recon ciled to ono another by the end of the first week of thoir incarceration.

SIR NOTES MONTEFIORE AND PALESTINE.

A writer in tho "Jewish World" gives the following personal reminiscence of the late Sir Moses Montefioro:—Ono tiling always surprised mo in connection with Sir Moses Montefioro'a career—what could have turned his attention to the' Holy Land '! What induced him to " make tho amelioration of his brethren thero tho great work of his Hfo ? I should nevor have ventured, even indirectly, to put a question to a man like Sir Moses upon Buch a point. But in the spring of 1877, a young relative who visited him for tho first time, the late lamented Loonaul Montefiorc, put the query to him point blank. " What made you take so great an interest in Talestino, Sir Moses ?" Jio said. There were none staying at East Cliff at the time but young Mr Montofore, and only wo three wore at din ner that day—it was a Sabbath. " Well," Sir Moses paused a moment, nnd said, " I havo noverspoken of that, and have never been asked tho question before. But i will tell you. Look at this ring," and Sir Moses took from the middle finger of his loft hand a plain gold ring, a simplo band ot gold, and handed it for in spection. "Look at the inscription insido," ho added. Young Montefioro passed it on to me, and I read aloud the words I saw thevo, "Possessor of all things." Tho words aro from tho so-called Birchat Abnth, of tho Awidah or Shemonah lisreh. "I woar that ring," continued Sir Moees, "as a reminder of tho circumstance that first moved me to go to the Holy Land. You young people may laugh at it, and others may thinlc me a 'fool' for bo lie^'ing it, but it was a dream, and nothing but a dream, that made me undertake my first pilgrimage to Palestine. We had been reading, Lady Montefiore and myself,the Eliyahu' Hanabi, on Sabbath night, and we were talk ing of the good news of which this prophet's appearance was to be tho harbinger for Jerusalem. Wo both agreed that it would be a very interesting thing to visit Carmel and the scone of the Tishbite's exploit, and I promised that, if ever we had leisure, I would take Lady Montefiore to the East. That night I dreamed I saw in front of me a venorablo man whom I know to be Elijah the Prophet; he pointed to Jorusalem, which I recognised in the distance, and said only those fow words en graved upon my ring, ' Possessor of all things.' I awoke, and then droamt this a second timo, and then again a third time. And the dream raado so strong an impression on me that I resolved tho very first thing I would do -when I had time would be to go to tho Holy Land, and sco if there really was work for me there to do. I went, as you know," Sir Mosos concluded, "and, whatever you may say about the emptiness of dreams, I soon found there was work to bo done thero for mo, aye, and for you too." This was Sir Moses Monto lioro's account of how lie had first been im pelled to take a voyago to tho Holy Land, and, savo that I havo connected tho son tenco, is transcribed from my diary kept at East ClilV Lodge, word for word as Sir Moses repeated it to Mr Leonard Monio lioro and mysolf in 1877.

DEBATE ON THE SABBATH QUESTION.

The debate betweon Elderß Haskell and Aldridge on the Sabbath question com menced in tho Temperance Hall on Satur day evening, November 7, was closed on Thursday evening last, In his open ing remarks, Elder Haskell stated that tho Commandments existed 2,000 years before tho call of Abraham, 2,500 years before the administration of the law on the Mount, and 3,000 jears before the word Jew came into oxistenco ; henco it is nowise Abrahamic, Sinaitic, or Jewish in its origin ; and that the law existed before tho fall of man ; and honce the fall of man could not affect the Sabbatic institution. 1' urther down in Biblo history he quoted our Lord's statements—" I am not come to destroy the law but to fulfil, for until heaven and earth pass away one jot or one tittle cannot pass away till all bo fulfilled." And more, to love God wittf all the heart, and our neighbour as ouraelf, was in very deed the fulfilment of the whole law divinoly engraven by the fingor of God Himself, the only portion of the inspired volume that comes to us in that way. And further, that all the blessings of Cod concerning his peoplo now and for ever depond on their observance of the whole law. Elder Aid ridge did not take this view of the subject, endeavouring to show that in Christ Jesus they are no longer under this law, but under grace. He further went on to prove that while our Lord did allude to several of tho commands in tho Now Testament, yet no reference is made to the Sabbath, question as having a binding nature upon any Christian member of the community. As well did he try to prove that tho whole law as given on Sinai was abolished, thanking God that we are no longer under the law, but under grace. The points brought forward by the two speakers rest on their own morits, to be judged only by those who heard. Elder' Haskell was requested and agreed to lec ture on Sunday evening.
