4 Sheckfng CasuaItY-phree Young
Ladies drowned by the sinking Of
a Boat.
From the Peoria ur) Democrat. Oct. !

From the Peoria Qlll Democrat, Oct. III
One of the most shocking casualties by
drowning which We have for r long time recon
ded occurred on Saturday afternoon last at
Spring Lake, about sixteen miles below Pekin.
According TO the statement of our informant, .
family by the name of Clayton reside near the
lake. and tive young ladies' from Iowa-relatiyes
of the family and OF the same nsme-Eere on a
visit TO tdem. On Saturday afternoon it wes
proposed to take a boat ride upon the lake, to
which all joyfully assented. and a bost was pro-
cured which it was thought would answer the
purpose, although old and leaky. The party
consisted OF the two young ladies from Iowa,
their cousins, two Misses Clayton, OF Spring
Lake, and another young lady by the name of
Kane, together with q young man and boy by
the name Of Clayton, also relatives, and another
young man BY the name of McLesn-in all eight
persons.
The youthful party left the shore in the best
possible spirits, with the expectation of enjoying
a pleasant afternoon upon the water, little dream
ing that in the shor, space of one hour, three of
their number, then in the bloom eff health and
happiness, would be in eternity. When in about
the middle of the lake, the boat suddenly filed
and in less time than We are writing the para
graph, the whole party were floating upon the
water. The boy managed to reach the shore,
and young Clayton, BY almost superhuman ex-
e%rtions, succeeded in saving his two sisters, al
though his endsavors were equally exerted to
cave the lives of all the young ladies, but were
~fruitless. Mclean managed to reach the shore
by swimming, bat what e~xertions be made to
save the lives OF any of the party, is not known.
The bodies OF the two Misses Clayton, from
Iowa. together with that OF Miss Kane. have
been recovered. The two young ladies saved
have since been quite low, owing to being so
long in the water, and the consequent excitement
at the closing in such a melancholy manner Of
an afternoon devoted TO pleasure. We have
given the particulars as hurriedly related to Us
by one who passed Spring Lake on Saturday
evening. and any corrections or additional news
We shall lay before our readers at the earliest
moment.

safest safe of any in existence. Yesterday, Chas.
Hunt, the proprietor of "0ur House," 18th street,
removed Wilson safe from the debris of his sa-
loon, and upon opening it found that the entire
contents were destroyed-between $1,000 and $780,
900 in Confederate notes. books, bonds, due bills
all reduced to heap of cinders, with the partitions
of the safe charred to nothingness.
Mr.. William Johnson, boot and shoe dealer,
Main street. also recovered and opened his SAFE and
its contents were found in the same condi.ion-ut-
terly destroyed.
Frank Gof, proprietor Of the 90 Gem" Saloon,
who had locked up large quantity of silver ware,
cutlery and table linen, &c., opened his safe yes
terday, and the property was found in an utterly
worthless condition
On the other hand, we heard of several gentle
men who had opened their safes, and found their
contents and perfect as the day the safe
door was closed upon them.
This difference in the relative power of iron safes
to resist heat and combustion, is phenomenon
which we think need not occupy the Savans long
1t arises doubtless from the different degrees OF
heat to which the Salamanders were subjected;
some being exposed to an intense heat for hours,
and others falling into a SECURE place, and escaping
a general heating. Everybody who has studied
natural philosophy knows that the composition
called plaster of Paris is non-conductor of heat
The discovery was made by worker In images made
out of pllster of Paris BE had worked up mould
of plaster, and cnveloped basin, afterwards de-
posting the basin upon a red hot stove to heat some
water. After the lapse of few minutes the artist
dipped his finger into the water, and found it still
cold; surprised he tested the water again and found
no sign of the generation of heat. This phenomenon
led to the discovery of the principle upon which
iron safes are constructed, but the poor worker in
plaster of Paris was no gamer by the discovery
Others ran ahead of him, and the Herrings, Wilson's
and host of other patentees made safe thing out
Of il.
