1t becomes painful duty to record one OF the most
terrible steamboat explosions that has ever happened on
the lakes The propeller Independence, Captain John
Mckay left the dock the head Of the Portage about IL
o'clock last night, with heavy freight of winter sup
plies fer Ontonegon and La Poine and with number Of
passengers She had not proceeded mile before her
boiler burst literally tearing three fourhs Of the boat to
atoms killing sc8ldng TO death four person the hrt
engineer passenger and two remel and badly scald
ing and nuIng the second and several passen
eefs The of the passenger killed we are not able
TO ascertain he was a Frenchman, bound for Ontonagon
the first engineer Geo Sisson and the two FRENCH
their names unknown were brothers from Ohio
There of the most miraculous escapes we have
ever seen recorded The clerk, j. w Watson formerly
Of Cleveland and Mr. A. Thomas of the same place
asleep in the upper cabin who blown hundred feet
OF more into the air with the cabin aud far from the
boat into the water-escaped the first with little injury
the %ecord much scalded and bruised; but there is

The independence belonged to McKnigh,s line of Lake

THE SIGNS AND DECLARATIONS OF A DYING
PERsoN.-The Supreme Court of East Cam
bridge made an important decision yesterday, in
the case Of Casey, on trial there FOR the murder
of Mrs. Taylor. 1t will be remembered that
though Mrs Taylor survived the murderous
attack for few days, yet she was unable,
though apparently conscious of her situation, TO
ar,iculate, and in that emergency she was asked
to squeeze tee hands Of those present if person
named was the one who attacked her, and there
was an instantaneous squeeze of the hand also,
that when other questions were asked, of which
she had no knowledge : such as where were her
children, she made no response. In one instance,
as if she summoned all her energies for the
purpose she answered yes, when asked if Casey
was the man, and never spoke afterwards.
The council for the defence argued that it was
dangerous to receive such uncertain evidence
where life was at stake. Mr. Choate instanced
the case of the signs of deaf and dumb persons
beng received as evidence. The Court expr. g.
sed the opinion that where person has been
prevented from testifying orally by injuries
received, signs may be resorted to, provided the
person so tesiifying is fully aware that he is in
dying condition, which is deemed equivalent
to an oath. After such testimony has been re
ceived, it is for the Court and jury to Judge of
the condition of mind of the person at the time,
and also Of the credibilty OF the statements SO
made.
To illustrate its position, the Court said that
if dying person had the use of but one finger,
and could point that finger to the words Yes and
No, in such a manner and under such circum
stances as to lead 10 the belief that he answered
the questions with full understanding Of their
nature, it would be legal testimony to be receiv
ed for the consideration Of a court and jury.
