THE LAURADA SEIZED.
Many Interesting Questions Will Arise Should
the Charterers’ Libel Be Sus
tained.
Charleston, S. C., Nov. 16.—The steam
ship Laurada, while lying at her dock
(here today, was seized by the United
Slates authorities on a charge of having
broken the neutrality laws. Yesterday
libel proceedings were begun against
the ship by Messrs. Trenholra, Rhettes
and Miller on behalf of Messrs. John K.
Kerr & Co. of New York and the proceed
ings today ure not unexpected.
\ The libel and complaint set forth Hint
pn the lath of September last the libel
lants hired the Laurada for two round
trips to the West Indies. That the Lau
rada left New York on or about the 21st
day pf October for the second of the two
contract trips, and in expectancy of her
prompt arrival the libellants had at va
rious ports In the island of Jamaica a
valuable cargo of fruits, perishable in
their nature, ready for immediate ship
ment upon the arrival of the steamer.
That after the Laurada left New York,
the libellants are informed and believe,
that the master and owners delayed the
progress of the voyage fop the purpose of
taking on board surreptitiously some
thirty-five or more passengers, together
•with baggage, etc., and that the same
were carried in the space let to the li
bellanfs under contract and were landed
at some point on the coast of Cuba, for
all of which ihe master and owners re
ceived a large sum of money. That the
said stoppage and delay was without the
knowledge or consent of the libellants,
and, as the libellants are now informed
and believe, was in the execution of an
Unlawful purpose and object, and that by
the Laurada’s failure to arrive on time
the cargo of fruit was injured and dam
aged and that In addition to this loss to
the libellants, by reason of the carriage
of said passengers, the steamer was de
tained by customs officials at Kingston,
end in order to let her continue her voy
age the libellants were required to give
bond in the penalty of £100, which obli
gation Is still unsatisfied. These dam
ages are estimated at $10,000 and the
complaint concludes with the prayer that
the vessel be sold to satisfy the ciaims oil
the libellants. This morning the inspec
tor of customs, acting under instructions
from Collector Bryan, went down to the
wharf and formally took possession of
the vessel it* the name of the national
government. Collector Bryan absolutely
declined to discuss the matter, and the
extent of the information against the
vessel is not known.
Captain Hughes of the I.aurada also
declines to talk at length. He says that
he denies absolutely the charge that his
boat has engaged In filibustering op that
she has broken the neutrality laws. The
stories to that effect, he says, were starts
ed lv Spanish sailors who wished to In
jure him and the vessel. Lawyers here
say that many complications of a most
Interesting nature will grow- out of the
case should the libel he sustained, for
then the question of prior claim between
the government and the libellant will
nrlse. *':
The ease is to be pushed in the courts
as rapidly as possible.

The Divorce Declared Off.
Providence. R. I„ Nov. 16.—The divorce
rase brought by Mrs. Elizabeth W. Colt
against Col. Samuel Pomroy Colt, presi
dent of the Industrial Trust company
and a leading official in the rubber trust,
was declared oft today. The official an
nouncement cam* from Francis Celwell,
the solicitor for Colonel Colt, this morn
ing, after a conference at 9 o'clock. A
setlement of the matter will be made by
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Colt.
Horanoe Barnes of Bristol will be chief
arbitrator. The settlement will be at the
terms of Colonel Colt entirely, owing to
the collapse of the adultery charges made
by his wife In the petition for divorce.
The suit against James J. VarlAllan,
the New York millionaire, for $200,000 for
alienating his wife's affections will in all
probability end with the divorce. The
closest friends of Colonel Colt here say
that VanAUan was veiy sick of the liti
gation against him, and that he delayed
his trip for Europe expecting just such
a situation as arose today In the Colt
case. Colt is to give Mrs. Colt a reason
able allowance, but nothing like $125,000,
which £he demanded at one time, when
1 he Jackson episode was first brought to
her ^attention.
The friends of the Colt family, who are
arranging the settlement, are expected to
arrive In a few days.

dition unrecorded heretofore in (he weath
er annals, thn boVnatrisohs presented are
sufficient to greatly interest not alone the
world of science, Imt tho multitude of lay
readers, und it is not surprising Hint the
discussion h(u, engaged. the attention of
tlio Paris public.

reported—this in so late a month as Sep

Curiously lik'd thiB Is the situation pre
sented so graphically in M. Flammariou’g
work, andfoflowing which this admirable
writer thus leads up to the final approach
of the oonftpt TO the earth's surface:
During the night of July 13-14 the comet
spread over nenrly tho entire *ky, aud whirl
ing winds of fire could bq aeon by tho naked
eye eddying about an axis oblique to tho
zenith. The appearance was thnt of a array
of flaming moecork til whose midst the flashing
iightning produced tho effect of a furiou3 com
bat. The burning star had a revolution of its
own and seenind to be convulsed with pain,
like a living thing. Immense jets of flame is
sued from VaVjons cqqfers, some of a greenish
hue, others rod as blood, wliilo tho most bril
liant were of a dazzling whiteness. It was evi
dent that the Sun wSS acting powerfully upon
this whirlpool of gases, decomposing certain of
them, forming detonating compounds, electri
fying the nearer portions and repelling tho
smoke from about the immense nucleus which
was bearing down, upon tho world.
The orh of day seemed to go down In a sea
of gold and purple. Its red disk disappeared
below the fiortson, but the stars did not rise,
and night did not come. To the daylight suo
ci-odeda.day of eometary and lunar splendor,
illuminated by a dazzling light, recalling that
of the aurora borealis, but more intense, ema
nating from an immense blazing focus which
had not been visible during the day because it
had lwen below tha horizon, but which would
certainly have Rivaled the sun In brilliancy.
Amid the universal plaint of nature this lumi
nous center rose, in the west almost at the
same time with the full moon, which climbed
the sky #ith it like a Baeriflclal victim ascend
ing the funeral pyre. 'The moon paled as it
mounted higher, hut the, comet Increased in
brightness as the-sun Bank below the western
horizon, and now when the -hour of night had
come it .rgigned; aqRrflpi^a vaporous, scarlet ,
sun, with flames of yelluw and green, like im

tatorit seemed some enormous giant taking ■
sovereign possession of earth and sky.
Suddenly as tha terrified spectator gazed b1- i
lent and awestruck, bolding his very brenth
In a stupor of fear, the vault of heaven seemed _
rent aswnder from zenith to horizon, and from
his yawaihigjthusiu as from an enormous mouth

the impUtnosftJt of an avalanche to the cellar
ways, already choked with people, JJtany were
crushed to death or succumbed to apoplexy,
aneurismal ruptures and, wild delirium re
sulting in brain fever.
Computation had indicated that the earth
would penetrate tbo heart bf the comet os a
bullet would ^vehijltefe^p .gioud, and that the
transit, repbpfling from/nths- first Instant of
contact of tho outer zones of the comet's at
mosphere with those of fhe earth, would con
sume 4V< hohrs-da fhet’ easily established, in
asmuch us the comet, having a diameter 66
times that of the earth, would be trnvorsed
not centrally, but *t bhy-ffijarter of the dis
tance from the center, with-a velocity of about
176,900 kilometers per hour. Nearly 40 min
utes after the first insreat of contact the heat
of this incandescent furnhee and the horrible
odor of sulphur lxs^njio so.suffocating that a
few moments more of such torture would have
sufficed to d<-stroy* every Vestige of life.
The crisis had passed. Little by little men
recovered their self possession, rejoicing in
the mere fact of living.
Wliilo Paris lias been discussing the ap
proaohlng comet and tho theories of M.
Flammarlon about . tha, fln du monde,
England has had a peculiarly interesting
excitement atjput a lunar phenomenon no
ticed by several observers. In short, the
moon has been caught wabbling, and the
oflicial record of Luna’s eccentricities have
been chronicled day by tiny in the Thun
derer. Tha fbcoltjBiheJit began on Sept. 6,
when a letter uppoared in The Times from
a correspoTtdcnfr"Stgnrngr' himself E. A.
Simpson Gray of Stonehara House, dated
Sept. 2. The correspondent wrote asking
an explanation of a remarkable lunar phe
nomenon which he had noticed tho night
before. At ten minutes to 8, just after
dressing for dinner, be went into his gar
dan and noticed a distinct and unsteady
motion of the moon on a plane perpendic
ular to her apparent course.
“Not being willing to rely on my own
eyes,” says Mr. Gray, “I called the head
gardener, Mr. C. Hall, and drew l\is at
tention to the moon, saying, ‘Is not that
a lovely sight?' ‘Yes, sir,' he replied, ‘but
whnt's tho matter? tt Is all wabbly. ’ I
then went in and related my observations
to the various guests, numbering 15. Such
a tale naturally gave rise to a Qow of in
credulous wit; but'in. spite of their first
disposition to ridieuie the idea they all,
without exception, agroed in acknowledg
ing that there was apparently a jerky din-'
placement from time to time. I have nov-'*
er seen anything of the sort before and am
very far front accounting for It now.”
On tho following day The Times pub
lished a number of letters about this re
markable lunar plioncmenou. A “Con-,
slant Reader,” Writing from . Westlake,
Surrey, says that at the same hour “his
little boy cumo running into tbu bouse,
breathless with excitement, to say that the
moon was jumping tip add down.” ].
In The Times of Sept. 10 a number oft
oorrespon lents write, giving explanations
of tbu phenomenon. Mr. Tomlinson, F.
R. S., writes: “The appearance of tho
moon, as described by your correspond

t ! BULL SMITH'S I'M ME.
IIok He Got It by u Diversion From ao
Old Story, . *
1 When Mrs. Ahlgnii^’utWH ,Si«ith dletl
In Patchogue, N. Y., some time ugo.at, the
1 ago of IXi, ol<l settlers in the town "ah
lowed” that tho oldest Inhabitant,ofiptyj,
1 Island had gone to hef‘ iijWard, A lineal
descendant of Bull rfniillj., olio war,, tho
neighbors sold, as they discussetl hor years,
and hor worth. Hut f^iv of, fhqm know
why her ancestor, tho man who had found
ed Smitlitown, hod lost.las own Christian
name in favor of that qf .the.animal. .
The story of It niuoh -resembles that of
tho founding of Carthago that Is toKthy1
tho classic writers. Tlio (rtty of'.Hannibal,
the legends say, wad suftroithdqd'by tho
hido of a bull. The men who wahterl to
gottlo and own it were told l)y thhso who
1 had a prior right that they could Have a*
much laud as they coul^l surround with
the hide of a bull. These prospective sot
tiers had brains that wero flnoly developed,
*• and by cutting the hide Into thin strips
they managed to work out a claim on
which they built a city that' became the
homo of one of the greatest conquerors the
world has ever known.1
Bull Smith did not siirtnund SmitMnwn
with a bull’s hide. The boll in hjs case
was a live one. In tho days Whdfi Indiana
owned Long Islund, Smith roamed over
there looking for a good place to settle on*
Ho was well resolved by the Indians, who,
howover, did not soeiqpnrticularly enrions
to give or sell him more land, than he
could stand on.
Ho made offers, but roetdved no consid
eration. Finally, partly to liava some fun
with him and partly to make him tired of
his hunt for a section, the Indians told
him they would glvo him ns mu,ch land as
he could cover, riding on the heck of a
bull. ... h . , , »
Smith was willing, and- tho bull was
lively. The Indians, in gleeful anticipa
tion, watched Smith strugglo to tho hack
of the animal, which tore frantically away
with the determined man digging his heels
into Its sides. The bull snorted and ca
vorted, whirled ond jumped, but that was
just what Smith wanted, for the more fre
quent tho deviations from a straight course
tho moro land for the dauntless rider.
The land the bull trod is now Smith
town, and Smith, the story goes, never
heard his Christian namo again.—.New
York Times.
Why Foxes Most Be Hunted.
The city man’s desire to hunt is based
neither on affection, nor on mimicry.
Americans do not hunt foxes or rldo across
country because it is done In England.
The strain of English blood may show It
self porhaps In American horsemanship,
but Americans ride across country because
that is a far livelier uud more interesting
form of riding than riding on tlm road,
even when It Is a: park road or a paved
streot. And when Americans hunt foxes
they do it for the same reason that the
English do—bocauso following the trail of
a floot and wily animal is hatter sport than
following a cross country trail artificially
laid, and becauso tflq fox Is tho only wild
creature lit for the chase.hfcat will live and
flourish in proximity to; man. ■ >;.
That the city man,, be he Briton or
American, Bhould wish to hunt Is a rea
i sonable desire. The .circumstances Of his
daily life aru such as draw oh hl» vitality
and abate his vigor. 'When onett ho has
put himself in the way of making an ade
quate living, his physical life is apt to bo
easy. Ho gets no taste of cold or hunger
or hard physical labor. :Ho is too ap* to
bo overfed and overheated, to. drink moro
tlian is good for him, to work too Bard
t with hi t head and too little with his body,
to be luxuriously lodged and generally to
be made too insidiously comfortable. He
has to fear the debilitating influences of
such a lifo both on his physique and on
his character. His simplest reined wis some
sort of out of door excrclso which involvos
6OIH0, self denial, some exert ion and a roa
1 sonable amount of grit.—Scribner’s.
Poetry Societies. >tij
Iiow lamentably feriio is Mr. Lang’s con
tention, “Can any thing speak more
clearly of the decadence bf the art of poetry
than the birth of so many poetical soci
eties? They all demonstrate that people
have not tho courage, to study verso in
solitude and for their proper pleasure.
Men and women need confederates in this
adventure. Thero is safoty in numbers,
and by dint of tea parties, recitations, dis
cussions, quarrels and the like Dr. Furui
vall and his frionds keep blowing the
faint embers on tlio altar of Apollo. They
cannot raise a flame I” Such may lie tho
fato of Tennyson.
But no society, not even a clique of log
rollers, was needed to secure him popular
ity. He gave expression to the intonsor
emotions and larger movements of his
time, or at all events, what ftocmed to be
such, to an extent and with a perfection
of art to which none of Iijs rivals could lay
claim. And when all is said and done
what is tho greatest poet of a period but
tho man who gives tlio most artistic ex
pression to tho deepest feelings of the
greatest number?—Scottish Keview.
Who Was 'Nelson?
On a recent visit to Mmo. Tussaud's ex
hibition, I fonml myself among a cross'd of
persons guziug at Ihat memorable seenein
the cockpit of the Victory, described in the
catalogue as “The Dedtkof Nelson.” It
is certainly a realistic group, sulBciont to
enlighten the most untutored mind.
While stiapding there contemplating tho
tragic scene before me, I heal'd a woman
say to her companion, ‘‘Who is Nelsonf”
The man, startled for a moment, pulled
himself together and with creditable
promptitude replied: “NeisonI Oh, he
was the captain of fi man-bf-wur!'" No one
laughed.
It was a very natural answer, and it
jsoemed to satisfy the company, which
.moved onward to inspect the Polish giant,

Diet For Nervous PevsOus.
Mrs. Rorer recommends plcnfy.of salad
to tho diet for nervous persons. Fat around
the nerves, she says, smooths them out
very quickly. >leat, such as lean roast
beef, broiled steak, broiled mutton or
_ltroilod chops, should he used three times a
fduy. Cereals ore to he avoided and little
• fruit taken and such its is should be oaten

in tho latter part of the day. White bread
toasted in the oven, or whole wheat, bread,
coffee without sugar at breakfast, very
weak tea onco a day, without sugar or
cream, and no sweets or desserts are moro
suggestions for the bill of fare.
Not Worth While.
‘‘Porhapsif I wore to boil It down,"

Not a Hold Up.
Philadelphia, Nov. 16.—Authentic par
ticulars of the reported "hold .up” of the
express train on the Pennsylvania road at
Morrlsville, Pa., last night were learned
today, and they show that while an at
tempt to rob the Adams express car was
made there was no "hold up.” Two
tramps concealed tliemselvM in the ex
press car loaded with Wnerchandise at
Jersey City prior to the starting of the
train. The car not having a messenger,
the doors were locked. After strewing
the contents of various boxes of mer
chandise in heaps all over the car floor
and finding nothing of especial value the
would-be robbers broke open the car door
and pulled the cord which operate- ihe
air brake. When the train slowed up
they jumped from the car and disap
peared in the darkness.
