ARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1879

New York, July 27.

The British steamer ‘‘ Alnwick Castle ” has arrived at quarantine from Havana. ‘The second mate was taken from the vessel with yellow fever.

Two Memphian families arrived here on Tuesday, comprising eleven persons. Mrs. Brennan was sick and died of yellow fever yesterday. They buried her last night. Fitzgibbons and wife, of the same party, were taken sick, when the physicians re- moved them-and-the rest of the party to quarantine.

The mails which arrive here from Mem- phis will be thoroughly disinfected by order of the Postmaster.

There were two fatal cases of maralial fever in Wilber, in this State, this week. The malady has assumed a malignant type. Over a dozen cases are reported.

LATER. Mewpnis, July 27.

Fourteen new cases to-day ; nine deaths en Saturday.

A camp forthe poor people of the town is to be established to-morrow.

At a largely attended meeting of, trades held to-day, resolutions were adopted ;in favor of extending the time of days ~lahor to eight hours, and pledging themselves to use their efforts to bring about this result, dropping entirely the question of wages.

Pirrszure, Pa., July 27.

The storm of. yesterday was fearfal.in its effect in the surrounding villages and coun- try.

The principal damage here was in the washing of streets and sidewalks. Sewers burst, houses had foundations loosened,the cellar of the Union Railroad depot was flooded and the car tracks and road bed of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road was swept away. ‘The tracks of the Pennsylvania and of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railway were washed eut. Wagons, sheds, and all loose stuff along the stream, were cayried away.

The storm throughout the lewer oil coun- try was very damaging. The oil tewns of Petrolia and Karns City sutiered. terribly, twenty-five houses in the former place be- ing swept away. People in that section in many cases barely escaped ith | their lives. - - -

At Karns City the whole of the lower end of the town was swept away.

The rain fall up the Monongehela Valley and along the line of the Baltimere and Ohio Railway, which skirts the Youghing- heny, was the heaviest! known fur» years. Houses, fences and ontbuildings, lumber and other preperty swept away and many of the coal mines flooded. | Minera in seme of the mines narrowly escaped drowning.

Lonpon, July 27.

Nearly 400 engitveers on strike at Brad- ford, are preparing to: emigrate to the U, S. and Canada, in accordance with the in- vitation received from various branches of the amalgamated Engineers Society in the principal engineering ¢entres.

‘ New York, July 26.

At Sing Sing prison, on Friday, John Barrett, a convict, while being taken from the cell attacked the keeper, Patrick Mack- in, with a knife, inflicting a severe wound in the thigh. Keeper McCormick then knocked the convict down with a cane; Barrett then armed himself with a hammer. Keeper Good attempted to arrest Barrett, who raised the hammer to throw at him, when the officer shot him dead. The cor- oner’s jury say that the shooting was justi- fiable. The shooting occurred in the pre- sence of two hundred convicts, who broke ranks and crowded around Keepers Biglin and Good and the defiant prisoner, the men growing very turbulent until the keeper fired upon Barrett, when they fled back for a moment. As they rushed forward again, several of the keepers drew revolvers and marched the prisoners from the place.

The Queen and the Hx-Empress.

—

Her Majesty the Queen has sent to the

Empress Eugenie an exquisitely made work

of picture setting, designed to enclose the last portrait taken of the Prince Imperial. The frame is composed of amethysts cut out in flowers, chiefly violets. A garland which crowns the frame is surmounted by an eagle, holding between its claws a banner scroll in tricolour, on which is written in gold let- ters the words: ‘‘Not. lost, but gone be- fore.” The Empress has been greatly touched with this sympathetic present, and has ordered copies of it to be made and given with the last photo of the Prince to his and her own intimate friends.

<<a, Attempt to Bribe Parliament.

Mr. Grissell, a gentleman of no occupa- tion, having got himself into a mess by his proposal to bribe a committee of the House of Commons, is now anxious to get out of it. He has been exainined before the Select Committee and ga-e an explanation of the affair, which was to the effect that he merely wished to test the truth of a statement contained in an anonymous let- ter he had received to the effect that the wharfingers who opposed fthe Tower- bridge bill believed they could not bribe the committee of the House of Commons by giving £2,000. He admitted that his con- duct had been foolish, and said he intended exposing the matter after it had reached a certain stage. Three other witnesses were examined, and the enquiry was adjourned. |

One Hundred Glasses a Day.

The Sunday Observance Association of Jamaica, L. L, recently arraigned Killian ‘Stumpf before the Excise Board on a charge of havin sold liquor on the Sabbath, in -violatien of ms license. The association’s detectives testified that they went into | Stump?’s saloon after twelve o’clock on the night ef July 6, and drank larger and pur- ‘chased a cigar. Mr. Stumpf iestified that ‘the detectives were not in his place at all lon the night mentioned. The question ‘turning upon thé intoxicating qualities of beer, James Raymond, driver for a larger beer brewery, testified that he drinks on an average 100 glasses a day without getting drunk. Gotlieh Veigel had drunk 105 glasses without being intoxicated. The Commissioners found Stumpf guilty, and revoked his license.—N. Y. Herald.

Proposed Union of Black and Caspian Seas.

The Russian Government propose to con- nect the Caspian and Black Seas by a =sys- tem of canals, according to the designs of M.. Daniloff, an eminent engineer. The proposed water courses are to comprise a canal three hundred yersta in length from the River Terek to the water-shed of the Manitch, which links the Don with the Caspian; a: canal of three hundred and twenty verstas from. the mouth of the Katavas to enter the Volga near Astrachan, a third of three hundred and fifty versts frem the mouth of the Katavas westwards through the valley of the Manitch to the Don, and finally a branch from the canal to Serebriekoff on the Caspian. By means of another special branch to the Black Sea, M. Daniloff proposes to provide a complete water thoroughfare between the Vclga and the Don, the Black and the Caspian Seas.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Ministerial crisis in Turkey is over and has resulted in the triumph of the pre- sent Grand Vizier, Kheireddin Pasha, over his opponents. He will, therefore, resume the direction vf affairs.

Tue Ex-Empress Eugenie has. written to the Queen, our despatches state, asking that Lieut. Carey be not punished. Lieut. Carey, it willbe remembered, was found guilty by court-martial of net aiding the Prince Imperial, as he might have done, when they were surprised by the Zulus.

Mr. Tennyson has been requested to write the inaugural ode for the Aus- tralian International Exhibition: - The ode may, if written, and if Tocal jealonsies can be appeased, be set to music, and’ sung at the opening ceremony. The difficulty of selecting a composer seems almost insep- erable, as there is nolaureate of the musical profession.

An event perhaps withott parallel in the history of medical science in England has occurred in London, the ‘‘blue riband” of the profession having been carried off by a Japanese student. At the distribution of prizes at St. Thomas’ Hospital; the gold medal—and honor coveted and striven for by every student who hopés to oceupy a worthy position among medical men—was awarded to Kounchiro Takaki, of Japan. Not satisfied with this high honor,’ the young foreigner also carried, off the Chisel- den medal for surgery and anatomy.

The Paris ‘‘Globe”’ publishes the follow- ing telegram from Odessa: ‘‘The transport ship which left this port recently, for Sag- halin with a convoy of 700 Nihilists, lost 200 of them on the way from disease,,oc- casioned. by overloading and and the ab- sence of all sanitary precautions. One hundred and fifty others were. landed im-an almost dying state. A second transport is being prepared under the same herrible conditions. The prisoners are packed like cattle in the hold of the ship.”

The Irish tenant right agitation contin- ues, to gather strength. The grievances of the agricultural tenants find an able ex- ponent in Archbishop McHale, who speaks out beldly for improved land laws. He de- clares that ‘‘the rooting of the peeple in the soil on equitable terms is a measure which must engage the atténtion of the Legisla- ture as essential to the peace and happiness of Ireland. Next to the repeal of the dis- astrous union between England and Ireland, beneficent legislation defining the just rights of landlords and tenants is the object dear- est to the hearts of the people.”

The advance of the Russian troops to- wards Merv, on the plea of punishing the Turcomans, is naturally exciting much at- tention in England. Merv is a long way from Peshawur. Nevertheless the matter has its very serious side. Merv is within easy striking distance of Herat, the road to which lies through an open river valley, practicable at all times for an army of any size. It must, therefore, be distinctly borne in mind that were the Russians es- tablished in force at Merv, the most impor- tant city of Asia would be at. their mercy, unless the English Government in turn were to advance our approaches towards it. It is possible that, for a race to Herat, we should be as well off at Candahar or the Pisheen Valley as the Russians at Merv, but, in order to be ready to act with effect, it would be necessary to maintain a large ferce at this remote outpost, and to com- plete and protect our communicatiens thence to India. The wisdom of the Im- perial Government in rectifying the Indian frontier is now apparent.
