THE LOST MISSOURI.
The Last Of the Saved Tells his Story
OF Suffering and PriVatiOn.

New YORK, November 30.-David
North, of ROndout, New York, one of
the four remaining survivors of the
Missouri, who have arrived here, mar
rates a very narrowing story. He says
that while floating about at sea, in an
open boat, be and his companions had
to brace their legs under the seats and
clasp their arms to keep from being
washed overheard by the heavy sea.
They were without food many days.
The boiler man, Mark AnthQny, went
crazy the first day; William Sterr, bar
Der, afterWard died, and Shea, porter,
jumped overheard. From that time
their boat was surrounded by a shoal of
sharks. Thomas Egan, one of the five
left on the morning Of the fourth day,
while describing q spiepaia entertain
meut he an3e attended, suddenly fell
and died. He was thrown overheard
and Immediately gobbled up. By an
almost miracle, the remaining four
reached land. AflOating bottle Of yhis-

FROM MEXICO.
A Little ROW Between Citizens and Sol
dIers-The Mexican Commission
In Operation.

MATANQRos, November 80. - Ten
days ago soldier belonging to the garri-
son at Mien, in an alteration shot and
killcA izen and wounded a child.
The. .4ends demanded of the civil au-
thorities the arrest Of the soldier, when
they declined, stating that they should
apply % the military. The latter refus-
ing, the citizens organized and attacked
the barracks. There were twelve killed
and wounded on both sides.
The Mexican Commission is working,
and their present plan seems TO show
that the cattle FROM Texas were returned
70 their owners by the town authorities,
rather than disapproye tbs alleged
depTedatlOns.

The Dualine FxpIosIon.

MILWAUKEE, November 30.-A. .coro-
ner's jury has been in session all the af-
ternOon, taking testimony in the Dua-
line or Blasting Powder Mandatory
explosion, but they have not yet given
their verdict. As all the inmates were
killed, it will probably never be known
how the accident occurred. But the
highly cOmbUstible character of the arti-
cle manufactured is sufficient cause for
an explosion on the slightest provOca-
ton. The shock is described by those
in the neighborhOOd as terrific. The
bodies were thrown q long distance, and
paesent a sickening appearance, being
terribly mangled. Frank Bentley is the
name of the other victim.

THE WOODHULL-CLAFLIN IN
FANNY,

The Baltimore ledger SAYS that Mr..
Anthony COmstock, who instituted the
prosecution in the Federal courts against
the Woodruff and Clafiin women, is
out in a communication to the Brooklyn
NelC York Eagle, defining his position.
He says that this case is but one in a Sc
ries Of forty or. fifty prosecutions which
he has begun, or aided, against the pub
fishers Of obscene, immoral and indecent
literature, and that his motive in all
these cases has been the paotection OF
public morals, and not of any individu-
ais. This communication seems to have
been called forth by an impression
which had gained currency that he was
acting in pursuance of the request and
procurement of somebody connected
with Plymouth Church. Mr.. COmstock
insists that he preferred a suit in State
court, and that he in vain sought to get
the New York District Attorney Gar
vim TO proceed, in ais official capacity,
in suit for the suppression Of the GER
tain article, on the ground of its Obsce-
nifty. The DistTict-Attorney not taking
up the case, it appears thauau Assistant
Federal Distriet-AttOrney, who believes
that 1t Is the duty of the United States
to protect the reputation of revered Citi-
zens, had no legal hesitation in doing
what the county prosecutor did not see a
way clear to do. The United States stat
ute en- which the proceeding which was
finally taken is based has a wider scope
than most people are aware of, inasmuch
as it allows of the fine and imprison-
ment of all who mail, not merely ob-
scene, but also any YglgaF, Indecent or
immoral matter, Or matter marked with
any SUCH or with scurrillous and "dis-
lOyaln devices.
1t would appear from this that penal
consequences are set against mailing any
h,l-@-s,ers which the Federal authorities
may think, OF aiiees 70 think, are of that
character. Mr.. COmstOck, in his note to
the Eagle states that, if he is correctly
informed, the charge upon which the
Woodruff and Claflin women viii be
tried will not turn Upon any question
relating 70 thslf afti0le about Mr.. Beech
er. Thus that gentleman, it appears,
viii not, under this proceeding, have an
opportunity of vindicating himself from
the charges of immortality which these
women have brought against MIN. 1t Is
TO be hppsd, however, that some legal
process will be employed bywhich those
who are alleged TO have committed so
great wrong against Mr.. Beeeher viii
be challenged to defense upon the
facts. The effort Of some newspapers to
excite sympathy fol the women crimi-
nsla is supremely ridiculous. Without
regard to the article in reference to
Beeeher, their weekly journal was sim
ply infamous, and the officers Of the
United States Government are right IN
not permitting its mails to be used for
the Generalization Of the connmanilF
At the same time It is 70 be regretted
that Others who have sinned against the
statute as much as these shameless Wo-
men have are not made to suffer the
penalty Of their oaenses.

Mr.. Field, in responding, said
they were proud of not only the work
they had done, but that to which they
looked forward. A cable was about to
be laid from England to Brazil, another
from Panama and down the coast to the
Pacific, another from California to Japan
and China, another from Australia to
New Zealand and another to the Cape OF
Good Hope. The gentlemen who sur
rounded him were a telegraphic family,
and when all this work was accom-
plished, he prayed God they might
meet together and rejoice that they had
done something TO bind different ma
tions Of the world together, and he
trusted that then they would be per-
mitted to gather up crumbs that might
fall from the table of their rich COM
mercial friends in all parts Of the
world. Loud cheers.
