A TOw.BOAT BLOWN UP.
The Raven bursts her Boiler and sinks
Thc Killed and Wounded-A Brave and
Truc.Hcarted Man saves MANY Ttves.

hruc'Hearted Nan saves Many Tives.
From the Cincinnati Gazette. Aprill6l
AT l0} o'clock last night the tow-boat
Raven burst her boilers at Stewards Land
ing, above the Rolling mill. Three. and
perhaps all of the four boilers exploded.
All day yesterday the Raven had been re-
pairing her boilers. She had four of them,
~ feet long by 3S inchers in diameter each,
provided with two l1-inch iues. They
were six years old. Charcoal iron. one
fourth of an inch in thickness, was used i'm
their construction. AT IL o'clock p. NJ. the
Raven started out from Stewards Landing.
Joe Martin, one of the engineers. observed
the boiler, which had been provided with
new sheet, leaking all around the seams
OF that sheet, and, becoming alarmed, told
the captain to head for the shore This
she was doing, and had nearly accomplish
ed 1t with her tow, when the patched boil
er burst, and, almost, simultaneously with
1t, the two adjacent boilers. One hundred
and forty pounds of steam was on at the
time of the catastrophe, and the boilers
were well supplied with water, so far as
known.
With tremendous roar the cabin, from
several feet aft of the pilot house to the
front, leaped into the air, amid smoke,
ashes, steam and fire, and went crashing
over, with the tall chimneys, into one of
the barges alongside. Shrieks and groans
broke out into the silence that for q mo-
ment succeeded the awful catastrophe
Men cried from beneath the wreck or
moaned in helpless agony. The hull and
its barges were floating down the river
In the darkness and confusion, those of
the crew not disabled We're stunned and
bewildered. What could they do? There
was no means of reaching the shore The
yawl had been blown away, and the wreck
was floating into the current
Joshua Tucker, foreman in Goodhue's
stone yard, man of brawny limbs and
stout heart, heard the roar of the explosion
from his floating house moored a few hum
dred yards below the scene, aFcse from his
bed, attired hastily and with his son set
out without delay to the rescue. Guided
tc the place by the cries for help and the
moans of pain, the rowers with their skiff
soon got view of the dark. floating mass
from whence the dismal sounds proceeded
They found man struggling in the water,
took him TO their home, gave him shelter,
went back, saved another man from Il grave
i'll the Ohio, and then returned to the
wreck. 1t was still floating down stream.
With his cooler head he directed the able
bodied on board and managed to get a line
ashore, and TO check the progress of the
barges just opposite the foot of Butler street
Before any one could ,be got ashore the
wreck sunk out ofsight, leaving the barges
af1oat. Before this time James Kennedy
and Peter Sharp had come to the rcscue,
and We're on the barges working to gct
Capt. DeWolf from beneath the ruins EX-
actly how those escaped who got ashore no
one in the confusion last evening could

ENGLAND.
University SpOrts-The Boat-Race Between
Oxford and Cambridge.

The University boat-race has come to be
nearly as much national holiday as the
Derby. There is not so much gambling,
rascality and blackguardism mixed up in
it, but there is a keener and higher personal
interest. Oxford and Cambridge come to
town en- nasse, and the Alumni of both,
and all their relations. London breaks out
in dark blue and light blue, the colors of
the two clubs. For weeks before the race
the newspapers have their daily columns
on the form and practice of the crews.
The river banks are daily lined with
enthusiastic amateurs. The photographs
of the Oxford and Cambridge mnscularities
are in the shop windows.
For nine years Oxford has beaten but
it became evident some days before the
race this year that this luck was about to
change. The betting was even-a great
change from former years and Cambridge
was the victor The weather has been for
a fortnight as fine as possible, and as high
tide was at r. NJ. the crowd was almost
unprecedented. London and large part
or England went up with the flood tide on
the Thames, or on either side of it, and
crowded banks and bridges. Nine out of
ten, it must be said, did not care twopence
for the race, but they cared great deal for
a holiday-the excitement of a crowd-the
chance TO spend or get something. All
along the banks of the river were bands of
negro Ministries harps and violins, German
bands, organs and monkeys, gymnasts,
cheap jacks, sharpers, hawkers of all sorts
and confused bedlam of sounds. Then
wave of excitement and cheering ran along,
slowly enough for everybody to take part
in it; a rush to the water-sIde, "A scramble
for places to see, wet feet or more for the
foremost, huzzas for dark blue and light
blue, waving of hats and handkerchiefs
and all is over. The miles of sight-seefs
finish up their recreatiOns on land and
water, beer and gin flow like the tide down
thousands of thirsty throats and the day is
ended.
The night before the race is queer sort
of saturnala. The undergraduates of both
Universities go the rounds of the music
halls, winding up at Evans, in Covent
Garden. Elsewhere they are strangers
here they make themselves at home. As
the two crews are ON strict diet, their friends
refrain from eating and drinking in their
presence, and the whole public is COM
PEELED to come into the same sympathetic
arrangement, and fast with those who fast
If waiter briugs a glass of ale for the
thirstiest mortal, smash goes the glass. No
more of those wonderful steaks and chops
no big potato rolled in a napkin until it
falls upon the plate n mound of snow.
Every dish aud glass--everythng break
able-is banished Finally, Oxford and
Cambridge take possession of the stage,
sing their own songs, and have a bOisterous
and merry time as is the manner of collie
gians in both hemispheres.

editors here in Tennessee harping on the
extortion and injustice of so high Tariff
on iron. What does it matter If it were
fourfold higher, when we are able to make
our own iron? The fact that the English
man pays the tax and sends large quanti-
tics of iron to all parts of this country is of
itself sufficient answer that the Tariff is
not too high.
But it is said that it gives the iron men
such monopoly; they make too much
money out of it. We wish that the editor
of the Times could succeed in making the
people of Tennessee believe the truth of his
assertions, so far as to be convinced that
the manufacture efiron is the best business
going. Perhaps it would result in starting
the rail mill at Chattanooga. If he should
take stock in the mill, we will guarantee
that he will be in favor of Tariff on rails

What Board of Trade Did in Ohio.

Our people might well take a few lessons
in enterprise from our sister city of Canton.
She has but finished an extensive system
of water works, at cost of over Sl0O. 600.
and ON Saturday evening last her citizens
subscribed nearly S450, 900 for new rail-
road project, G. Aultman & Co., heading
the list with Sl05,0O0. The citizens of
Canton are alive to their interests, and Law
hold of an enterprise as though they meant
business-not gingerly, and cautiously
and iearfully, as our people do, with Il
want of confidence in each other but with
a vim and purpose that is sure TO win.
Much of this reputation for cohesion and
successful action at Canton is doubtless due
to the Board of Trade, which, including
the business men of that city i'm its organi-
zation, takes to its patronage and support
all the public enterprises of the city. Why
cannot Mansfield have Board of Trade
something with a tangibility, and cloth
ed with power and authority to seize op-
portunities and subserve the interests of
our city ?-M Mansfield Herald.
We commend the above to our able Board
OF Trade, in the hope that they may find
in it some encouragement to make similar
exertions in behalf of our city.

The showing of Commissioner Delano
that the receipts from taxes under Grants
Administration are much larger than for
corresponding period under the preceding
one, Is used by Democratic papers as proof
that there has been an increase instead of
reduction in the rate of taxation. On the
contrary the largest aggregate increase is
the result of the thorough economical col
lection of the taxes at rates very much re-
duced from what they. were. In this state
alone, for instance, the increased revenue
from tobacco during eight months of MIR.
Delano's administration, over correspon-
ding period of former year, was 81, 437,
776 66. Such facts are their own sufficient
argument.-Ne,0 York Tribune.
