Another ST. Louis Catastrouhe,

A terrible boiler explosion took place at the
great Sugar Works of the Belchers, in st.
Louis, on the 18th, by which several men were
killed and others severely wounded. The fol-
lowing particulars are from the Democrat extra:
AT quarter past seven o'clock this morning,
the immense steam boiler in the central engine
building at Belchers extensive Sugar Refinery,
on North Main street, exploded with a terrific
conclusion, which shook the earth and build
ings for several squares, and was heard with
perfect distinctness over all the northeastern
quarter of the city. The southern and western
walls of the engine building were blown out
and ponderous masses of timber and iron were
thrown SIXTY feet upward into the air. An appal
led crowd quickly rushed to the scene. The
Mayor, Fire Inspectors, and Fire Engineers, at
once organized band of laborers, to remove the
ruins and extricate the human beings, living or
Dead who were thus dreadfally overwhelmed.
Some twenty laborers were employed in the
building, none of whom appear to have es-
capped sufficiently unharmed to give any cohe-
rent account of the catastrophe be experienced
The bodies of TEN MEN were at length gradual
ly exhumed from the heated masses of brick,
wood and iron Three were corpses scalded
and mangled in the most dreadful manner
They were borne into a warehouse on O'Fallon
street, opposite the wrecked pile. A fourth
was taken still living into the Mechanics Ex-
change on Main street, where he shortly ex-
pired. A fifth was removed, fatally scalded, to
his family in a tenement near. Another with
his skull split open, young man,-tO Biddle
street. A seventh was sent with mangled
shoulder, and apparently broken back, to the
hospital. An eighth was placed in a room of
the Mechanics Exchange, and laid upon the
floor writhing with injuries received upon the
chest and legs. Two other victims, one of
whom is fatally wounded, were borne to their
afflicted families.
AT ten A. NJ. the bodies of three more VIC
tins were visible and were being extricated as
rapidly as possible. The pecuniary loss to
the establishment is heavy

Clevelnnders in Mexico--Grnve of W J Ma,

Clevelanders in MexicO--GraVe of W j May
The enterprising H s. Stevens, of this city
is now in Mexico, putting the Tehuantepec
Route in successful operation. We learn by his
interesting letters to an evening contemporary,
that the following Clevelanders were at Suchil
Nov. I9sh :-Messrs. Shields, Shears, Page,
Mclaughlin, Jackson, LIE Moyne, Ferguson,
Riser, Fider, Radcliffe, Morton, Graves, Cow
an, Patterson, Walworth, Moore, and Benham.
They were all in good health. Another Cleve-
land party was at AImoloya river, Ga miles from
SuchiI.
Mrs. Stevens had made the trip to the Pacif-
ie, being the first lady from the States that had
crossed the Isthmus by the Tehuantepec route.
From the letter of Mr.. s. we clip the following
notice of the grave of well known Cleveland
er:-
At point on the plains where the road trails
round the Sarabia Peak, about six miles before
we reached this camp, and about toTty-fve
miles from El Suchil, is the grave of my for
ner friend and companion, VIM. j. May. 1t is
situated upon the summit of conical-shaped
mound, which stands entirely alone upon the
plains, about twenty feet high and some fifty
feet in diameter at the base. On its top and
sides there are dozen small live oak trees, and
it is covered with wild flowers and grasses
Here, in this Sabbath-like solitude, on this
beautiful forest hill. he sleeps. He hears not,
nor heeds not the roar of the city, nor the
sounds ofthe warning, wrangling life there
The south wind sounded requiem as we stood
upon the summit, and the grand old mountains
will keep guard forever around that grave.

Great Success Of ProreIlers.

The Chicago Press makes the following note
of the unparalleled success of the New York
Central Rail Road Line of Upper Lake Propel-
lers the past season
This Company has seven A No. propellers
They commenced their trips from Buffalo to
Chicago on the Ist of April last, and the last
one arrived in Chicago on the 18th inst. They
have made fifty nine trips round the lakes,
bringing up full loads of merchandise, and re-
turning with full cargoes of Western produce
Neither insurance companies nor shippers have
suffered or lost dollar on the cargoes of this
line the present year. Their trips have been
regular during the season. Many of the ship
pers have refrained from insuring property on
these boats, and thus large amount of premi-
ums have been saved to the patrons Of the line.
One house alone has shipped some $1,000 bar
rels of -four by this line, and has not ins ured
barrel nor lost penny. These facts we learn
from Messrs Richmond d Co., agents for the
line

Northern Transportation Company.

The following notice of this well known and
deserving Company, we copy flom the Oswego
Times
With houses at Ogdensburgh, Oswego, Cleve-
land, Detroit, Sheboygan, Toledo, Milwaukee,
Racine, Kenosha, Waukegan, st. Louis, Peoria,
La Sale and Akron, Ohio, where the Line was
first started; with upwards of I3 propellers, 7
vessels, so odd canal boats, with steamer on
the Illinois River, with connections from New
York and Boston and all Eastern cities, through
Oswego and Ogdensburgh, to all points West,
reached by water or rail, and EMPLOYING, d.
rectly and indirectly, about 1900 men, some
estimate may be made of the magnitude of the
business of the Company.
A meeting of the various individuals and
firms interested will be held early in January.
when the transactions of the year will be given
to the public. The number of passengers, and
tons offreight transported during the year, ex-
hibiting large aggregate, will be interesting
1t is worthy of particular notice that not an ac-
cident, with the exception of single one of
trivial moment, has occurred during the year
To the people Of Oswego, this line, with its
vast and growing business, commends itself to
their warmest encouragement. The 0gdens-
burgh, closing a successful season, is laid up in
this harbor, and her popular commander, Capt
Richardson, one of our townsmen, after well
earned laurels, comes to spend the winter among
his friends and neighbors. This vessel will be
the first out in the spring, and make several
lake trips in advance of the opening of the ca
nails. All the propellers have gone into winter
quarters, save the Buckeye, Capt. Rosman, Just
arrived from Toronto to Ogdensburgh, and will
leave here this evening.
These steamers go in all kinds of weather,
having machinery of undoubted strength, and
officers of experience. The following are some
of the leading firms connected with the compa-
ny:
Messrs HOvey & Crawford, Oswego; Craw-
ford Co., Ogdensburgh; Chamberlain, Craw-
ford d Co., Cleveland
Officers of the Company Philo Chamber
ain, President; John II. Crawford, Secretary +;
Jhas L. Thompson, Treasurer.

Arctic DiscOvery--.The Open Sea


DR.. Hayes, late Surgeon of the second Grin
nell Arctic Expedition, is laboring to organize
another voyage of discovery to the open sea
around the North Pole. He delivered an ad-
dress few evenings ago before the Geographic
cal Society of New York, in which he stated
that he hoped to organize his expedition by
the Spring of 1860 Considerable interest on
the subject has been awakened, and the Socie-
ty appointed Committee to cooperate with
DR.. Hayes in the matter. Mr.. Henry Grinnell
favors the undertaking.
DIR Hayes regards the open Polar Sea fix
ed fact, and claims that through Kennedy Chan
mel the gateway to it has been opened by DR..
Kane A single ship of 100 tons, with dozen
men, provided for two years, is all the arma,
merit DR. H. requires for the Polar Sea explo-
ration. He thinks that in no case would a
larger force be needed than vessel of $50
tons, with a shallow draught screw tender. He
expressed no doubt but that the northern shores
of Washington and Grinnell Land would be
found numerousy peopled by Esquimaux.-
The traditions of this wandering people point
to the far North as the central home of their
race, and they can only live upon the borders of
sea continually open. Morton and Hans of
the Kane Expedition, in June, 1854, found
open water at the mouth of Kennedy Channel,i in
lat. so deg. 20 min. Beyond this they travelled
So miles upon the land or land ice, having wa
ter continually upon their left. From the ex-
treme point reached they looked out to the
northward, and saw no ice-though gale of
wind had been blowing from that quarter for
81 hours. The Open Polar Sea had been dis
covered

Democrats are fond of applying to their op-
ponents the epithet of "Black Republicans, :"
as if they, in some way, derived their strength
from the African race. We suggest to them
careful examination of the above figures, which
show that the Republican is pre-eminently the
party of the White Men of the Union, while
the Democratic only maintains its power at all
by three million blacks held in slavery, which
it represents in Congress and the Electoral
College, although it will not allow them to vote
either for Electors or Congressman.

The Two Great Political Parties.

The Albany Evening Journal has compiled
the following table from the United States cen
sus, for the special edifcation of those who are
in the habit of regarding the Democratic party as
the dominant party in the Union by members as it
is by apportionment The RepubEcanStates with
their respective white population. are placed in
one column-the Democratic States, with their
respective white population, in another. 1t
will be seen that the white inhabitants of the
Republican States outnumber those of the Dem
Ocratic States in the proportion of TWO TO
ONE!

The JAPAN VARNIsH.-Mr. Douglas has re
joiced the hearts of the plantation aristocracy
of the South very much, by assuring them that
their country is fit only for "niggers and croco-
dies" They regard this as guarantee against
molestation hereafter by the intrusion Of any
"free white men" His Japan vamish has put
a splendid polish on the ebony of their creed
They are all as proud now as certain bashaw
with three tails, when assured that the outside
barbarians he so much dreaded had concluded
to settle in their own country.-St. Louis Dem

RUSH FROM THE LAKE REGIoN.-During the
last few weeks there hes been quite rush of
people here from the Lake region They are
mostly steamboatmen. Many persons who fol-
low steamboating, are now in the habit of work
ing on the Lakes in the summer season, and on
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in the winter
season The Lake steamers having laid by for
the winter, the engineers, stewards, cabin bows,
Porters, DC, are rushing for the Ohio in search
of Winter employment.-C Times.

The Sons of Malta.

The Sandusky Register, of Monday, contains
the following paragraph;
We understand number of the Cleveland
Sons of Malta will visit our city this afternoon
and evening for the purpose of instituting
Lodge of that Order here.
The sick and the destitute in our sister city
will have cause to bless the advent of the Inde-
pendent Order of the Sons of Malta among
them, judging from the good works of the Sons
in this city On Saturday we saw one with
heart as big in proportion as the stalwart, man
ly form which enclosed it, busy experimenting
the stowage of dray loads of Flour in the depot
opened by the Order under the Angler House
on Bank street, and learned that One Thousand
Dollars had been invested in Flour, Pork, Fish,
DC, for distribution among the sick and the
needy this winter, and that another Thousand
had been raised for like benevolent purpose.
These facts indicate the numbers and the class
of citizens composing the Order in Cleveland,
which so fourishes and so blesses The Order,
we understand, is founded in the true spirit of
Charity, and no eye but the initiated can see
"ACAS LAS SCSlCt OClASldSllOHS AdAA- plAAlAaAl
object is not to benefit and help the members of
the organization, as is the case with other ben
efcial associations but the Sons of Malta be
come the mysterious ministers of mercy, feeding
the hungry and clothing the naked, and ask no
other reward save the luxury of doing good
The Golden Rule is made their simple rule of
duty-seeking out misery wherever it may be
found for the purpose of extending timely and
effective relief
The Order of the Sons of Malta is spreading
with great rapidity through the large towns and
cities of this country, and attracting much at
tention. OF the Lodge ceremonies we know
nothing-of tie liberal charities of the Sons we
frequent note in the principal cities. 1t is an
institution of the old World and the olden time
the moderns having discarded the military and
rejected the sectarian features of the parent
stock. The history of the ancient and honora-
bic order of the Sons of Malta, says a recent
account, is inseparably connected with that of
the Knights of Malta, a celebrated religious
military fraternity, to which they gave origin,
and of which at one time the Sons of Malta
formed a component part. The ancient Sons
of Malta were known as the Brothers or Hos
pitalers of St. John. As early as l0Is some
merchants of Amalf, in Naples, established
church at Jerusalem and built a monastery
which they dedicated to st. John, the Baptist
1t was the duty of the monks, who were called
after their patron saint Brothers of St John, to
take care of the poor and the sick, and in gene
raj to assist pilgrims. Such is the origin of
the Sons OF Malta, the ancient Brothers of st.
John being parent stock ofthe Sons of Malta of
the present day.
