The work wpon the new tower and dome at the Observatory for the refracting telescape now being made at Cambridgeport, Mass., has already commenced, and is being pushed for- ward rapidly. The foundation walls are being laid, and the entire structure will be completed, in accordance with the terms of the contract. by the first of July. A one-story bric! ing, to be used for a computing room observer, with bath room, closets, & erected on the southern front, axd ad oid building. A small vestibule, six by thirteer feet, connects this building with the new tower, the foundation for which, of heavy blue -sone is nearly finished. .._ THE TOWER will be 21 feet high from the groumd to the bas of the dome, and 41 feet indinmeter. The ex- cavation for the foundation is 9 feet deep, ami the feundation walls, three feet thick, extend about four feet above ground. In these ar fixed twenty-four iron anchors to which th tower is to be secured. A circular sill of oak timber, 5x12 inches, will rest upon the founda tion, and into this sill will be mortised stads of oak timber in alternate pieces of 6x8 and 3x8 inches. On the top of these studs will rest an- other Ra | of oak timber 4x% inches, form! the base of the revolving dome and support the rails on which the wheels of the dome wil rest. The exterior of the tower will be covered with galvanized corrugated iron, and the om terior inished with building paper, THE ROMK will have a diameter of 41 sect at its base, amd @ height of 25 feet from that point. It will have & circular sill for a rest, four by eight inches, and be composed of ribs of one and a half incl white = pieces, firmly secured together, with joints broken. ‘The exterior of the domé will covered with galvanized iron, and the inte- rior finished with building paper. The néces- sity for covering the tower and dome ne aton described is to have an even temperature both on the exterior and interior. Should the atmos. phere upon the inside be warmer, it wou course become rarified and light as the shutters at the top should ¥ bh removed to make Observations, the rarified atmosphere es caping from the interior would seriously inte fere with the observations.

Eight parties will be sent out from the United States; two of which will go trom the Observatory bere. All the parties will sai next summer. .. The Naval Observatory here, with the new telescope, will be better equipped than any other institution of the kind in existence, The professors on duty there stand at the head of their profession, and the Washington Observa- = “ial is regarded as one of the best in the world. Horrible Deaths on a Raliroad, CARELESSNESS THE CAUSE. It appears that the accident on the St. Loui- and Southeastern railroad, which occurred at French Village, Mo., Thursday, was occasioned by culpable carelessness, ‘The passenger train Was just about to take the side track to let a Treight train pass, when the construction train, which had been passed at the dirt pile buta few minutes before, and its conductor must have known of its proximity, came thunderin, around the curve at high speed, and plunge: into the rear of the passenger coach, which was immediately filled with steam, and a number of passengers were more or less scalded. Mr. n B. Lusk, or Luke, of Morgan county, ssouri, whilé in the act of jumping from the train, was caught between’ the cars and CRUSHED TO DEATH. Her husband, with an infant in his arms, suc. ceeded im reaching the platform unhurt. gentleman, supposed to be James H.

A young daughter Griftin, of McLeansborough, IIl., rece of steam full in the face, and was ho scalded about the head and upper part of her body.*Her eyes were put out. It is thought she cannot recover. SOMEBODY TO BLAME. The coroner's jury has found the conductor and engineer of the constructor to be the per- sons who caused the accident, and writs were Promptly issued for their arrest. John Fan- hing, the engineer. has been caught and com- mitted to jail, but Ward, the conductor, cannot be found. A jixon, who shot man in the streets of New York without | cogoramnme has shown himself to be a misera- le coward since conviction. Presumingon the immunity which murderers have he: re onvree in New York, he maintained a bold and defiant front until the foreman of the jury before which be was tried prononnced the aw- ful words, ‘Guilty of murder in the first de- gree.” Then he gave way to fear and dread, and trembled and wept as if he supposed him- self to be standing on the fatal —.

Commander William K. Wheeler, U.S.N., tried by a general conrt- martial at the Boston navy-yard in Febraary last, on charges of disobedience of orders, in- subordination, and disorderly conduct, to the prejudice of cipline and good order, and found guilty of insubordination, but not guilty of disorderly conduct, and sentenced to be reprimanded by the Secretary, the sentence bas been approved by the Secretary, but be says the department must not be constracd to acct pt as accurate the verbal! distinctions under which the court has endeavored to discriminate between the personal intentions of the ofticer charged and the legal mtendment of his act Whoever deliberately disobeys an order given by competent authority is in legal contempt of such authority, and the court seems to have ove ked the fact aisorderly siuct” means pot merely noisy and boixterc behavior, but includes within its legal sig tion whatever act strikes openly at the org zation or interferes with the orderly relations civil or nulitary society. If this be true it £ lows of course that all insubordination, especi- ally if it tends to the prejudice of discipline and va order, is disorderly conduct, It is evident, wever, that the court ht by thi merely to express their opinion that the insub- ordination committed was rather the result of a judgment misled t intention of a malicious heart, Butitshouk! be | Uae shi understood and remembered that in all well or- ganized society every man of sound mind is and must be assumed to intend the natural and necessary consequences of his own deliberate acts. Without this imperative legal principie the order of civil society could not be preserved, and the sanctions of military discipline and the efficiency of ail military organizations would depend upon the personal theories and opinions, | however crude, of the individuals whe composed | them. ‘The finding of the conrt, however, establishes | the fact that Lieut. Commander Wheeler was guilty of insubordination, and the evidence | shows that this consisted in a deliberate refasal | on his part to obey the orders of his superior | officer, who ordered him to proceed to perform the duty prescribed for him and his associates by the bureau under which he was, by the anthority of the department, assigned % duty. This refusal was founded on the assumption — Ist. That the duty to which he was or’ viz: the handling and placing of torpedoes and the manning of boats for that purpose, was manual labor, and as such improper tor a com- missioned offic c given him was of consequence and which he was not bound he was the proper person auth circumstances to judge and decide Wiese ques- | tions in the first insta Each of assumptions is false in its: and the natural result of all of then w Cd at the foundation of i ns ¥ in the servic is require uty to which he i ons of prescribe tion or pr others, th i government with command in sted also with the preservation of its efi ciency. It is equally true that no subordina cer can be allowed to assume to be bimselt the judge, im the first instance, of the propriety ot uty to which he is assigned, or of the order is given him by superior authority. In es where obedience does not involve a breach of law, human or divine, the first duty of the officer is to obey, exercising his right, if Hife Wilimon superior fo right any wroag watcn he may think he suffers. No other course is officer-like or consistent with discipline; none other is so expressive of personal dignity, nor can any other be tolgrated in the serviee. These principles seem so plain that it is difficult to perceive how a well-meaning officer can fall to appreciate and carry them out; but Lieat. Com- mailer Wheeler bas deliberately violated them ail. For this he safiers the sentence of court’ and deserves and receives the censure of the department. The finding and sentence of the court is ap- proved. and this order is published as the renri- i tion. FIVE MINERS KILLED.
