APPALLING INCIDENT-Thc loss of the
schooner Arrow and her entire crew, thirteen
miles from Chicago, in the recent great storm,
has bccn noted. The details reach US in the
ChicsgO papers. a tug went to the rescue OF
the poor creatures in the wreck The tug was
hut quarter of mile from tho wreck, we'll to
the wudward so that the boat had little diff
Guilty in floating down before the sea. The yawl
behaved well Iu twenty minutes they were
alongside the wreck, on the port side. Some
nn the wreck yelled to them to go round to the
Iccward, when they pulled round. The surf
WAS awlu; Mr.. Evans said it was what he call
cd "A dead beat OF surf. A line was cast
m board the ship, and in less time than 1t can
be told the crew were in the boat. They were
not in it long, less than minute, perhaps. The
word was given, and the men were about to give
way, when a huge "comber" raised the bow OF
the boat, tipped it over backwards and spilled
the human contents into the water. The crew
ot the Arrow were never seen again. Benumb
"a with cold aud weak from starvation, they
we're incapable Of making an effort TO save
themselves. They sunk like so many stones.
4 WESTERN CITY The population OF
Cleveland, Ohio, is said to have reached the
astonishing aggregate OF ninety thousand. In
500 it was only thirty-six thousand. We do
not know how true the present estimate may
tc but presume it is not tar from the mark, rs
the manufacturing industry OF the place has
made immense progress. Nine hundred thou
sand barrels of refined petroleum are said to
be shipped from there every year, and the iron
manufactures have also made amazing advance
The crude petroleum is taken from PennSylya
Tia to Cleveland to be refined, and yet Ii pays
10 transport 1t thither and then carry the re-
l.,ll 81 Infla aIg,F1t fNr
shipmcnt.
The reason Of this Is one that possesses pc
.liar interest ior Us. Cleveland is the cheap
g., city west Of the Allcghanies in which to
jyc or to carry on business OF any kind. 1t
h built on Level plain, with abundance OF
r.nm on all sides for building purposes, ana
rs ncorlc build houses instead OF specuIatlng
mn 'otS. The consequence is manufacturing
industry seeks location there.
DrrvLrlNu. PAYMAsTERs. Another case;
rrayiu., the inadeQuacy OF Naval paymasterS
bonds, has been discovered upon the settlemen'
e the accounts Of an acting assistant payilas
ter. 1t was found that his account - o'VVl
>hoct, and that he had abSconded' Ills D0nn'
are tor 5000 and his indor>ers nave peer
called uron Tor the money.
The last session of Congress appropriate
$4,000 to repair the marine barracks through
uut the country. paymaStcr Macy, OF TIT
Navy, whose accounts have lately been toun'
10 be about 100000 short drew $4,000 q
this appropriation for repairs on the Pacltl
coast. but did not use it, and has failed to aC
count for it. The marines must, therefore
suffer, unless Congress at once supplies tn
deficiency by another appropriation. 1t
found that Macy accounts amount TO owe
81 600 600. about q tenth OF which has no
been accounted for. His bonds amount t
only $4,000. Macy's whereabouts are uu
known.
Mrs. Elizabeth Staunton says that latter
woman is married there is nothing more hear
OF her," Many victimized husbands would
ioice ifthis were really true.
