Steamship City of Waco Burned---
Passenger* and Crew Adrift.
Galveston, Nov. 9.—The steamship City
of Waco, of the Mallory Line, arrived from
New York yesterday,and was anchored out-side
with the fleet of vessels. At 1 o’clock
this afternoon she was discovered to he on
fire. A strong Northeast wind was blowing,
with frequent showers of rain. The passen-,
gers, officers and crew took to the ship’s
open boats, at 3 o’clock,and passed through
the fleet. The sea was so high that the ves-sels
could render them no assistance. The
last seen of them they were drifting in a wes-terly
direction down the coast. The agents
of the line have telegraphed for a list of her
passengers. One of the Galveston pilots,
who had gone out on her arrival,was also on
board. Carriages haye been sent down the
beach, and a steam tug was dispatched,
which is cruising on the outside in search
of the missing passengers and crew. The
steamer was burned to the water’s edge,and
is now reported to be sinking, It is sup-posed
that the vessel and cargo will be a to-tal
loss.
Later
Tlie City of Waco which had burned to
the ,water edge and her hull rolling in a
heavy sea, suuk at 1pm to-day, in seven
fathoms of water, Crew and passengers
have not been heard from.
At at 0 o’clock parties returned from the
lower end of the island and bring no tidings,
and tiie steam tng is still coasting.
Tlie agents have telegraphed to Indianola
and Brownsville notifying vessels to be on
the look out for them,
fleeting of Masonic Grand Lodge,
Nashville^Nov, 9.—The Masonic Grand
Lodge of Tennessee assembled in this city
yesterday, A. W, Wheeler, M. VV. Grand
Master, presiding. Between three and four
hundred lodges are represented. A Grand
Council of Royal and Select' Masters was
opened and called oil until Friday. Tire
Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons will
assemble on Thursday, next.
From New York,
New York,Nov.9.—The Herald’s London
special states that letters have just been re-ceived
from Henry N. Stanley, which are
exceedingly interesting. They are dated at
Usagalla, in Ugarda, and give an elaborate
and picturesque account of the continuation
and conclusion of his examination of the
shores of the Victoria, which is one large
body of water, and not a series of smaller
lakes, as said by Dr. Livingstone. Mr,
Stanley’s observations and reports on this
point, of Africa’s geography are to be made
a subject of discussion before the Royal
Geographical Society on the?L5th in st;
Foreign.
Penog, Nov. 9—The mutilated remains of
Mr, Bersch, late English resident of Perak,
have been received. After a sharp engage-ment
with the Malays, Capt. Janes, of the
100th regiment, was killed, and two officers
eight, men we re wounded. All this side of
the Malay Peninsula is greatly excited. A
general outbreak is feared. Telegrams have
been scut to llong Kong for troops. One
maig-of-war, two gunboats and about four
hundred troops are now at Berak.
Moody and Sank}’.
New York, Nov.9.—More than three-fourths
of those gathered at the revival
meeting of the Tabernacle this morning
were ladies, and a greater portion of those
have been regular attendants at all the
meetings.
Tlie services were begun by singing, and
Mr. Moody offered a prayer.
Deacon llawley read more than one him-died
requests for prayer, and Mr. Needham
the Irish Evangelist prayed.
The hymns, “He Leadeth Me,” and “Oh.
Blessed Thought,” were sung, Mr. Sankey
leading at the organ.
Mr. Moody read the 13th chapter of the 2d
book of Chronicles, and based his dircourse
on the fourth verse, “when the men of Ju-dea
on seeing themselves out numbered by
the array of Jereboaro qried unto tlie
Lord”
The Lord, said Mr. Moody, heard their
cry, they only had 400,000- men to Jere-boam’s
800,900, hut this army could not
stand up before men who were leaning up-on
the arm of God; they found Obi-jah
before he went into battle praying to
God. If the people were going to win this
battle for the-;Lord they must lean upon the
arm of God. God answered tlie prayers of
these men, and 185,000 of the enemy were
slain by one angel. No man could-stand
against God. They wanted Heze-kiahs
in Brooklyn. The power of prayer
was illustrated in tlie case of Ahab, who
went up into the mountain and prayed God
to shut the heavens, and neither rain nor
dew fell in three years and six months.
Why should they not pray now for the
heavens to be opened, and that they should
have a shower of grace upon them ? Let
the work begin in Brooklyn and it would
spread all over America. There was an ac-count
of a colony going to Africa, and they
traveled from one place to another in order
to find where there was rain. They were
finally directed by the inhabitants to where
there were clouds, and they went there and
got under thorn. We wanted to get under
the clouds where God’s showers could fall
upon us.
Mr. Moody then spoke of the young men’s
enquiry meeting in Scotland. When they
first called the young men’s meeting in Scot-land
they were afraid that they could'not
get the young men to come forward, and
they prayed together that they might be sue-cessfui.
It is pretty hard to niove Scotch-men,
hut when the meeting was held and
they gave the invitation, over one hundred
young men came forward.
Mr. Moody said the meeting was open for
payers and remarks, when several prayed
and discussed.
Mr. Sanky offered a fervent prayer for the
success of their work, and asked God’s
blessing upon it.
To-morrow night Mr. Moody said there
would be a yonng men’s meeting at tlie
Rink under the auspices of the Young
Men’s Christian Association, and that,
tickets of admission might be had at. the
rooms.of said association.
Rev. Dr. Gayler pronounced the benedic-tioh.
x
Mr. Moody requested the gentlemen to re-tire
and the ladies to remain. All the men
went with the exception of Moody and
Sankey, who then retired, and a private eon-ference
was held with the ladies for fifteen
minutes. They were urged to use their in-fiuence
upon all gentlemen with whom they
wer^acquainted to attend the meetings of
the evangelists.
Particulars of tlie Wreck of tlie Pa-clfie.
San Francisco, Nov.9.—Peter Townsend,
and Ail'. J etty,supposed sole survivors of the
Pacific, was brought here yesterday by the
ship Messenger, in a wretched condition,
having been on a raft thirty-six hours be-fore
being picked up. He says the Pae.fie
collided with some other vessel whose lights
he saw; but, in his interview with Gilkey,
Captain of the Messenger, which lasted
twelve hours, he made no mention of the
lights of the vessels, and some think him
laboring under a hallucination as to that.
Jetty makes the following statement: “I
took cabin passage in the Pacific on the
morning of Thursday, the 4th inst., from
Victoria, leaving about a quarter past nine
o’clock. About two hundred people were
on board. The steamer ran against a
southeasterly wind all day. The crew were
constantly pumping water into the boat to
trim the ship. The boats abaft the paddle
boxes had no oars in them; others had be-tween
eight and nine. In the evening,
while in bed, I heard a crash, and felt a
shock, as if we had struck a rock. I went
on deck and heard voices say, “it’s all right,
we have struck a vessel.” I saw several
lights at,a distance, but do not think they
were colored, but I paid little attention. I
returned to tlie^eabin and noticed that the
ship took a heavy lift to port, i went on
deck to the pilot house, and heard some one
say, “she is making water very fast.” The
Captain coming out of his room, I asked
him if he had any blue lights or guns. He
said blue lights were in the pilot house. I
got them and burned five ; noticed that the
engines were still working, but no one was
at the wheel. I then went to the starboard
side, forward of the paddle box, where a
number of men were trying to get the long-boat,
but could not. I went to the short-boat,
forward, aud helped five or six women
into it. X tried to get tlie boat off, but
couldn’t move it. There were about twenty
women in it. I heard that the boats abaft
the paddle had got off, hut did not see
them. I think they struck when she lifted
so much. The first boat was in the water;
I was in that boat and cut it
loose. It turned over and filled with water.
I got on her bottom and helped several up
with me, and immediately after the steamer
seemed to break in two. The smoke stack
fell, ana struck our Doat, and tlie steamer
sunk. I think about all the women were in
our boat, and fear that all were drowned
when the boat upset. This occurred during
the evening. The night was not dark, nor
the sea very rough> but a fresh breeze was
blowing. I left the bottom of the boat, and
with another mail climbed on top of the pi-lot
house, and next morning got some life
preserver which were floating near the
house, and witli their ropes lashed myself
and companion to the house. I saw three
rafts; the first had one man on it, the next
three men and one woman. I could not
make out what was on tlie other,on account
of the distance, except, that there were peo-pie
on it. I think we were about thirty or
forty miles South of Cape Flamery when
the vessel sunk. We passed a light at Tat-ton’s
Island between four and five o’clock
in the evening. My companion and myself
were on the pilot house till day Friday, until
about fourp. m., when he died, aud I cut
him loose. The sea was running very high,
and all day waves were washing over us.
Soon after he died I sighted a vessel aud
called, and heard people in other rafts call-ing,
but the vessel did not come near. Fri-day
night there was hut little wind, till in
the forenoon, when the wind and sea arose.
I was then within a mile of the shore at
Vancouver’s Island, and sighted two vessels
on the American shore, which passed-in
about ten a. m. on Saturday. The Messen-ger
picked me up. (Signed). H. P. Jki.lv.
Great excitement prevailed in this city on
hearing the news. Tlie telegraph and news-paper
officer, and the merchants exchange,
were beseiged with people who had friends
and relations on board the lost steamer. The
Lan Angelos was dispatched to save the sue
vivors, if any. Jelly stated informally that
there was no terror or confusion on the part
of tlie passengers, and the boats could have
been launched aud manned,and sailing ren-dered
comparatively smooth, and all would
have been saved.

girl, as she twisted a “friz”
around the curling iron, “but f don’t
believe in it. There’s Fred ;

fallen in love with him when
if his father hadn’t given him that
house and lot.”—Detroit Dree Press.

The last one comes from Warren.
He came all the way to get a tooth
pulled that had robbed him of four
nights sleep. He sat down and
just as the doctor was applying his
forceps, chanced the expression of
his face and said:
“Look here Doc, how much is
this business going to cost a
low?”
“Ffty cents,” replied the
tor.”
“Can’t you do it for less,”
the fellow with the toothache.
“No,”
“Then, we can’t trade, said the
sufferer, and he rode back to War-ren

We have it from good authority
that near this city a few days ago a
game of “seven up” was played, a
little girl of live summers being the
prize. The father had played and
lost everything he had, and while
under the influence of liquor, pro-posed
to put up his little girl against
a certain amount of money. The
proposition was at once accepted,
and the game began. At the last
hand the game stood : father 5, op-ponent,
2. In the deal the father
received the following trumps:
King, ten, seven and tray. His op-ponent
received ace, jack, four and
deuce. The father begged, and
was given one, which made him
within one of going out. Confi-dently
believing that the game was
his, he threw down the king and
tray, exclaiming : “Can you beat
that for high or low?” His oppo-nent
replied that he could beat
both, aud showed his -hand, and
claimed high, low, jack, and the
game. The claim was denied, the
father hoping he could take the
game himself. The ganiq went on,
resulting iu the success of his oppo-nent,
who secured the game by two
points. The winner still has the
child, and states that he intends
keeping it, unless the father uses
the law to regain his loss. She is in
good hands, much better than those
of her father, who is a widower,
and a man of dissolute habits,
although the possessor of a kindly
heart when not under the influence
of liquor.— Council Bluffs Globe.
Mercury in fluency, and a courtier
in grace, a volcano in fire, an ice-berg
in coldness, deliberate in eoun-cil
and impetuous in action, strange,
bundle of all possible and impossi-ble
contradictions and seeming an-tagonisms,
he stands forth on this
commonplace age, clear cut, bold,
and prominent as the big wooden
Indian in front of a tobacco-shop
door. In his mental make up, the
wildest German transcendentalism
and French Communism meet and
shake hands with the intensest
Yankee shrewdness and the broad-est
hiNuanitarianism. A European
anarchist, he has taught Americans
the true principles of their Consti-tution
and Government, and set
them an example of self-denying
patriotism. -V fanatical abolition-ist
and hitter upholder of the Fed-oral
Hag, he was the first man in
the Radical party of Missouri to
meet the present editor of the Sen-tinel
on a platform of conciliation
in 1870, and battle for the enfran-chisement
of his former foes. The
proclamation of “universal amnesty
and impartial suffrage,” led him to
the support of the Greeley move-ment
in 1871-2, which Democratic
insanity killed. Too great to be a
partizan, he lacks but a little hard,
practical “horse sense,” to render
him a statesman. Not of extraor-dinary
power, but supple, wiry and
ever alert, thoroughly trained,every
thew and sinew under perfect con-trol.
Not a ponderous intellectual
pile driver aud sledge hammerer,
like Webster or Clay, but a keen,
polished Damascus blade, like Ran-dolph
or Calhoun. Not a^KVwer-strewing,
poet-orator, like Henry,
Wirt or Prentis; but a wielder of
inexorable logic, and an arrayer of
bewildering facts and figures.
Above all the dirty tricks, treats
and trades of the political shambles,
of reproachless integrity, honest.
fearless, always aggressive, some-times
brilliant, he is incomparably
the ablest representative Missouri
has had in Washington since the
days of Tom Benton and Jim
Green. But with all his ability and *
purity, he is utterly unsafe as a
leader.
How a Mussulman Expects to go to
Faradlse.
An execution, attended by eu-rious
circumstances, has just taken
place at Tlemcen, in Algeria. The
criminal was au Arab, named Siben
Ali Ould si l’Habit ben Mansour,
who descended from a family of
venerated Marabouts, and had been
condemned to death for murdering
three native women. He protested
his innocence to the last, and re-fused
to have anything to do with
the Mussulman priest sent to shrive
him. Only one thing troubled him.
According to native bqjief, the An-"
gel of death seizes the dying Mug-snlman
by the hair of his head and
carries him up -thus to Paradise.
Now, as ihe prisoner was to beguil-lotined,
lie feared that only his head
would ascend to Paradise, while his
body would remain on earth. The
execution was carried out in the
usual style, in the midst of a large
concourse of natives. The family
of the deceased then approached
the guillotine, took possession of the
head and body, placed them in a
coffin on a mule, and marched off
home. In the evening the remains
were buried according to Mussul-man
rites, and the ceremony was at-tended
by several hundred men and
women, who made the night hideous
with their shouts and lamentations.
