A ROYAL COMPLICATION

The Empress and Monarch, two majestic
boats were completely demolished by FIRE upon
the river early Yesterday morning. The En-
press was up for ST. Louis, and would have
left nj noon on Wednesday bu, for the violen,
rain storm which prevailed at that time Be-
tween three and four o'clock Yesterday morn
ing she was discovered to be on fire, but so
rapid was the progress Of the flames that all
efforts to check the conhagra,ion proved una
vailing There being no possibility Of saving
the boat, and her presence placing the other
boats IN manifest danger, she was at length cut
loose and suffered TO float of into the stream.
This produced a singulafly novel and magniii-
cent spectacle for those who left their beds
and sought the Levee at the sound of the fire.
bells. The blazing boat, one sheet of fame
from stem to stern, fell off into the current,
Illuminating the vessels and houses along the
Leyee, spreading broad glare of red around
sky and lighting the deep Mississippi with
long, quivering reflection Of hes flames.
She hoated almost directly across the river,
iching the opposite shore at Slaugh,erhouse
lint, and communicated her fire to the Mon
III. which was there at the ship yard under
going repairs. Both tho doomed vessels were
from here towed out into the stream by ferry
boat and cast loose, from hence they noated
down the river, and the two hulks sunk in Ia
feet of water some six or seven miles below
the city.
The Empress was owned principally in
Frankfort, (ky.) and partly in st. Louis
She was commanded by Capt Bacon, who
never left the blazing vessel until she was cast
loose by the ferry boat and actually sinking =
1t is possible tina, the fire ofthe Empress might
have been quenched on this side, but the risk
to the adjoining boats was so great that the
other crews cut her loose. The loss of the
boat and cargo, which was principally salt, il
estimated at $4,000.
The Monarch was valued at $4,000, upot
which <here was insurance to the amount o
$4,000.

ANECDOTES OF CANNING.

In private life Mr.. Canning was as exempla-
ry as in social intercourse he was delightful
As a son, his care for his widowed mother
the provision which he made for her out of the
small pension first settled on him for his pub
lie services-his affectionate attention TO her
wishes during the busiest and most successful
portion Of his intoxicating career-the long
weekly letter which he wrote her, according
TO an early promise-a promise never broken
even in the most anxious and stormy period of
his life,prove his to have been heart alive to
the nobest impulses OF our nature. But more

which he preserved unimpaired throughout the
whole course Of his advancement, be delighted

From the Newark Daily Adv. OF Monday evening
FRESH FRAUDS DETECTED.
Loco, foco voters from Pennsylvania

Loco oco voters from Pennsylvania.
We have received full confirmation this
morning OF the rumor which we gave on Fri
day from the Morris Jerseyman that "s,age
loads Of foreigners from Carbonate, Pa"
were on their way 10 vote in New York this
week. A friend has gone down to the city
from Morris this morning, with the written
evidence. A squad Cf these people reached
that place on Saturday evening too late for
the cars to n York, and were taken by their
leader patrick Mauly) to tavern--except
some 3 or Of them who proceeded on foot.
This man, whose tongue is said to have
been made loquacious by something besides
'shard CIDER met a respectable citizen Of Nor
ristown at the tavern, who was recognized as
among the early friends Of the Administration,
and in the interview communicated to him the
fact that from so to 100 ofthe laborers Of Car
bondale had been contracted for by the office
holders to vote in New York, and that their
names were all registered! He also gave
him the original letter, which has been shown
10 us, and of which the following is a copy,
addressed TO a contractor or sub-contractor
on the Croton Aqueduct, AMI containing the
names under his (Mauly's) charge. Mauly
told him that several similar companies had
gone down by way Of Patterson and other
routes, so as to avoid suspicion.
Here then we have further evidence that
the recent outcry in New York about the i'm
portation of Wing voters from Philadelphia in
1888, was made to divert attention from their
own frauds, and if detected, that they might
justify themselves by example.
The following is literal copy of the letter
and names
Mr.. Dimmick. s-Agreeably to agreement
the following persons have gone on to vote the
Democratic ticket in New York, who reside in
Carbonate, Penn. as Mr.. Mauly will certify.

Loco-Foco Outrages.-The following is from
the Democrat tic Press:
Towards midnight on Saturday, that infa-
nous gang of locofoco ruffians who call them
selves ''tbe Spartan band"--and not inappro-
priately, for the old adage says the "Spartans
are all thieves"-turned out to parade the
great thoroughfares Of the city, and to assail
the persons and property Of its citizens, in the
name of the democracy and patriotism. They
were headed by band of music, and followed
by their usual trail of reckless vagabonds. -
On arriving opposite Constitution Hall, Broad
way, company of forty or fifty ofthem, arm
ed with short, thick bludgeons, secured to the
wrist by a string, commenced a sudden and
totally unprovoked attack upon about ten or
fifteen gentlemen who were standing on the
steps silently observing the procession, and
not one of whom uttered single word, either
derisive or otherwise, concerning it. The as
sault was far more brutal and cowardly than
we ever beheld, and the most Of the gentle
men attacked were dreadfully cut and beaten.
They evidently, by preconcert, aimed at the
head of every one they struck, and as the
weapons Of some of them were mallets or
wooden hammers, loaded with lead, the wounds
and bruises which they inflicted were really
horrible to see We observed the scalp oil

Fifteenth ward, cut through to the bone to
the length of several inches. The only rea-
son assigned by these cowardly ruffians 70.
the outrage was that it was wing house, and
therefore, that the persons standing at the
door were doubtless wings. Their only cry
was-"You're a Cd d-n whig"-"Y You're
one Of them" "You belong to them"-and
then the bludgeons and leaden mallets were
piled anew.
