|| SOUTH A 4 BOY DISTINGUISHED GUESTS ON YACHT DELAWARE. Enjoyed a Sail Through Staten Is land Sound—A Floating Palace. Ex-seilator D. 0. Chase, of this bor ough, Governor Mumhv, Senator Dryden, Senator Kean, Judge Gun ning, Dewitt VanBuskirk, Bennett Sawyer, vioe president of the Singer Sewiug.Maohine Company, and F. L. Shepherd, general [superintendent of the P. R. R. Company, were enter tained by Commodore Borne on his magnificent yacht, Delaware, Friday afternoon. Mr. Chase said he had been on a great many yachts, but he had never seen any to compare with the Delaware. It was simply magnificent and the handsomest boat he had ever seen. There were several rooms beautifully furnished and*in each one a spring in the floor when pressed, revealed a bath beneath. The dining room was grnnd and almost indescribable When the party stepped on board of the yacht, which is as largo as a ship, from the launch in which they were taken out to her, each one of the guests had a man in attendance who furnished them with a full new yacht ing suit and when they left for the launch on their return to their houses the same man gave them their own clothes. That was a very unique feature of the occasion, for the yacht ing suits, hat and all, were a perfect fit. The yacht was anchored off Liberty Light, where they boarded her. The boat was a fast one and they sailed through Newark Bay and out to sea many miles in all. They stopped on their way and visited the Singer Sew ing Machine works, which they went through and were surprised at the railway through them. They enjoyed it very muoh. Mr. Borne tendered them one of the grandest banquets it is possible to imagine, with a waiter in attendance on each guest. The party were back to Jersey City by seven o’clook p. m. and reached their homes quite early in the evening, having had one of the most enjoyable times of their life. NO CLUE TO ROBBERY. Appears that Someone Had Secreted them selves in the Room. Up to Saturday evening no clue had been obtained to the party who had helped themselves to Mr. Charles Sprague’s money so mysteriously. It appears that.the day before the rob bery, Mr. Sprague had been in the room and taken an article out of the bureau and everything was all right. On the morning after the robbery Mrs. Sprague had swept the front yard, so if there had been foot prints they oould not be found after that by the police. Mrs. Sprague, having occasion to go into the front room afterwards, found I a bureau drawer on the floor and the money gone. A good sized square pieoe had been cut out of the drawer W containing the money and it had been opened in that way, as it was locked and the key in possession of Mrs. finrormo if. ia oaiH Hho a 1 art fnnnd . one of the front windows open and the screen torn out. It would appear that someone must have secreted themselves in the room and escaped by the window, dropping in some way to the ground and thereby running a big risk of breaking their limbs, or, they might have used a latter, as it is said there is no covering to the stoop, or posts to olimb up by. Not another door or window was found unfastened. J - Jlub rv' „-son, by steamer Trenton, on October 4 to play a return game with the Irving tons.

Sea's Bottom Fallinic* Scientists tell us that, counting from the sea level, the lowest body of water on the globe Is the Caspian sea. For centuries its surface has been gradually settling down until now It Is 85 feet lower than that of its near neighbor, the Black sea, which also lies far below the level of the oceans. The common con clusion all along has been that the Cas pian was simply losing its waters by evaporation, but recent investigation shows that this is not the case. Sound- 1 ings made and compared with records 1 of soundings made over 100 years ago t reveal the astounding fact that there Is even a greater depth of water now than c then. This leaves but one hypothesis I that would seem at all tenable—that the ; bottom of the sea is actually sinking. Brisk Correspondence.
