Terrible Drowning Affair.

A gentlemen who arrived in town Mon
day noon from Montpelier gives lis an ac-
count of a disastrous drowning calamity,
which occurred in tho town of Calais,
some ten or twelve miles from Montpelier,
on Sunday last, the particulars of which
so far as heard from, are of fearfully ca
lamitOus nature, and if reports are true
the accident is one of the most fatal that
has occurred in the State for a long time
1t appears that new and expensive boat
had just been built and completed by par,
ties residing in the village of Calais and
arrangements were made for grand
launching of the same upon the pond near
by, in which large number of the citizens
entrusted themselves. They took their
wives and children. to the number of fifteen
persons in all, and having filled the boat to
its capacity, they proceeded to take row
on the waters. Among the party were
some ten children, too young to assist in
the management of the craft, or do little
but enjoy the pleasures of the trip. Our
informant states that the report was circu-
lated and generally credited, from reliable
authority, that in some manner during the
row, the boat was capsized and the entire
party thrown into the water; that five of
the number, most of whom were young
children, sank to rise no more. We are
led to believe that the number may be eX-
| apporatad although -conf;rmo1 Inv nartipS
in Montpelier who have received news di-
rect from the scene of the disaster. The
depth of the pond, we believe, is several
fathoms, and yet it seems that the men of
the party could have succeeded in saving
the children from drowning. We hope
to be able to give more particulars of the
affair soon, and that the case may not be
of so terrible nature as at first reported
LATER.
We find an account of the above affair
in the Troy Times of last evening, which
proves the truth of the report, and from
that we CLEAN the following particulars
The names of those drowned are Lafayett,
Techout and wife, aged fifty years, and I
daughter aged five years; the widow o
Amasa Mcknight, aged about twenty
eight, and Lydia, daughter of w. +
Tobey, aged fifteen AS many more wer
taken from the water in an unconscou
state, but were restored, All the bodie
except of Mr.. Techout were recovered las
evening.

THE BALLOON VOYAGE.

Throngs of people visited the Capito-
line Grounds, Brooklyn, yesterday,
and viewed the balloon and the appara-
tins and the scientific instruments which
are to accompany it but the number
present was not nearly SO large as on
the day previous. The rent which was
made in the balloon on Wednesday, in
order to let the gas out more rapidly
than it escaped through the safety
valve, was repaired early yesterday
morning. During the day men were ar
ranging the cloth in folds SO as to facili-
tate the imitation of the balloon ; others
were fetching sand in carts and filling
large bags with it, to be used in deep
holes in which to put strong posts. One
of the managers of the enterprise in
formed Tribune reporter, yesterday,
that they would receive at midnight
dispatch from the Weather Bureau at
Washington advising them of the
weather probabilities to-day.
If it were predicted that the weather
would be fine to-day and that no high
would prevail, they would begin to in
fate the balloon at three o. m. -Four
hundred thousand cubic feet of gas
would be forced into the bags. If they
began this operation at three a. M, it
would be completed by four p. m.
Weather permitting, the balloon, he
said, would start between five and six
p. m. to-day. So far as he knew all
who had previously agreed to make the
ascension would travel with the balloon
to-day. Prof. Wise, he said, had not
been there during the day. He was
unable to account for the Professors
absence. The Professor was under OBJ
legations to make the ascension when
ever they chose to get the ba loon ready
ten years hence if they should see
fit.
The agreement between them was
that they should build balloon and
furnish him scientific instruments and
articles for the preservation of life dur
ing his trip, and he was to initiate it
with gas and make the ascension. No
date had been set when he would be
relieved from his agreement if they had
not carried out theirs. They were even
doing more than they contracted to do.
they were filling the balloon with gas,
which was, according to the agreement,
his duty. He concluded by saying,
rather bitterly, that if Prof. Wise had
been on the grounds on Wednesday
while the attempt to initiate the balloon
was making it would not have become
oossary 10 mako a ront in tho gushing.

A CHURCH WAR IN RHODE ISLAND.

PROVIDENCE, Sept. 8.-A dispute has
arisen between Bishop Mcfarland Of
the Roman Catholic diocese of Hart
ford and the parishioners of st. Mary's
Catholic Church, situated at Broadway
and Barton street, in this city. In
1868 tract of land was purchased from
Sturgiss Baker, on the corner mention
ed, for thirty cents per foot, and is now
mentioned to be worth from one dollar
to two dollars per foot. The negotia-
ton for the sale was perfected by the
Rev. Mr.. Quinn, lately deceased, and
the money for the purchase was paid by
Bishop Mcfarland, and, as the Bishop
alleges, from his private funds.
The government stamp to the deed
was paid for by Father Quinn with the
money of the parish. Bishop McFar-
land was then prelate of Rhode Island
and Connecticut, but since that time
each state has been constituted do
cese, and Bishop Hendrickson was
elevated to the episcopal charge of Rhode
Island, while Mcfarland remained in
Connecticut. Since the separation the
parishioners of st. Mary's have been
taking steps to have their right to the
property recognized but Bishop
Mcfarland is firm in maintaining that
the land, having been paid for with his
money, belongs to him. There is much
excitement among the thousands of
Irish Catholics in this city, and it is
difficult to surmise how the dispute will
end. Bishop Hendrickson is of opinion
that the estate is the property of Bishop
Mcfarland, and ON last Sunday he
threatened the hostile party with ex-
communication. Notwithstanding this
threat the parishioners resolved to take
legal steps to secure title to the estate.

WHO MURDERED NATHAN I

The question has assumed more i'm
portance than "who killed Cock Robin.
The New York police authorities profess
to feel very little interest in the case of
John Irving, who recently informed the
San Francisco police that he was con-
cerned in the Nathan murder, and if
brought to New York he would give
ample proofs of the truth of his story.
Superintendent Matsell told Tribune
reporter, yesterday, that he attached
little credence to Iryings story.
"Squealing Johnny" as Irving is
termed by his class, has of late years
had the reputation of betraying all those
with whom he had been engaged. The
superintendent thought his story was
merely ruse to obtain free passage to
this city, and, after keeping him in Jail
few days, the authorities would be
compelled to release him.
Irving's statements are full of discre-
, pancies and glaring mistakes. For in
stance, he speaks of one of the assassins
of Mr.. Nathan being concealed under
the bed. The fact was that couch OF
Mr.. Nathan on that night was compos-
ed of two mattresses lying on the floor,
and covered with light bed clothing.
Mr.. Nathan's presence was undoubtedly
unexpected by the thief, as the former
was in the habit of joining his wife and
younger children at his summer resi-
dence in New Jersey. On the night Cd
the murder he slept at the residence in
Twenty-third street, because he wished
to proceed in the morning to the syna-
gogue, of which he was member, and
celebrate with devotional exercises the
anniversary of the death of one of his
parents.
The memorandum book belonging to
Mr.. Nathan, of which it was said nc
previous mention had been made with
the other missing articles, was fully de-
scribed in the newspapers soon after the
discovery of the murder. The name of
the son of the housekeeper is also given
incorrectly by Irving. In other partic-
ulars his story is not borne out by the
lhSlS. DuiAhb houPSAAhpohN.SAo vS"1
dams career Irving was one of his fami-
liar acquaintance, and had he known
anything of the murder or been con-
cerned in it, he would have certainly
told Jourdan. In the latter case, to save
his own neck he would have betrayed
his companions in crime but he never
mentioned to Jourdan that he knew
anything of the case. In all Superin-
tendent Matselrs experience as police
officer, he said, he had never known a
professional thief voluntarily to place
his neck in a moose when there was no
evidence against him except what he
might furnish himself.
It was barely possible that Irving had
heard something in his intercourse with
thieves that might furnish clue to the
assassins of Mr.. Nathan. That Irving
himself was concerned in the crime, the
Superintendent did not believe. He
had not sent any one to San Francisco
to fetch Irving on, nor did he know
that he would do so. He had heard of
no effort on the part of any one else to
fetch the witness to New York. It
might be deemed advisable to do 80,
and ascertain whether there was grain
of truth in his story, but the expense
