The Manitoba Prisoners.

New York. Aug. II.
Gov. Austin and Mayor Bracket of Min
neapols. have had two interviews at Long
Branch with the president regarding Mani
toba affairs. and explained the whole mat
ter from beginning to end. dwelling espc-
cially on the cruelty with which the pris-
oners are treated by the Manitoba authori-
ties. They also sought to impress upon
the president the necessity for speedy ac-
ton, as they feared the people in Minneso-
ia, unless something was done at once.
would take the settlement of the case into
their own hands. The president accord
ing to dispatch, gave the governor and
mayor to understand that unless the matter
was disposed within reasonable time de-
mand in unmistakable terms would be made
on the British government, and would be
followed by further action. The president
then asked the governor and mayor to re-
ducc their statements to writing. which
they did, and the paper was forwarded to
Secretary Fish, who will he visited to-day
by its authors.

W AsilNtIoN, mug. IL.
Gov. Austin and the mayor of Min
neapolis, on their return from Long Branch
to-day, had another interview with Secre-
tary Fish relative to the Manitoba difficult
ties. All the President said to them was
the subject should receive the prompt at
tention of the government. and that he
would see the rights of American citizens
should be protected. 1t was too early at
this stage to give a more definite assurance
The Secretary of State was charged with
the conduct of such affairs, and would
doubtless place him in possession of all
facts to govern his action in the premises
at the earliest moment. Gov Austin, on
being Intercepted by private parties, was
reluctant to talk on the subject. The mat
ter has not assumed diplomatic aspect,
although Sir Edward Thornton and Secre-
tary Fish have had several informal inter
views concerning it,

DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN BALTIMORE "A
heavy rain storm, accompanied by vivid
lightning and unusually loud and sharp
pcals of thunder, occurred in Baltimore,
between two and three o'clock Sunday
morning. The sloop Lucy, Capt. Christy,
of Brandywine, Del, while lying at Light
street wharf. was struck by lightning and
her topmast and lower mast shivered.
Chatsworth and Schroeder runs, in the
northwestern section of the city, over
flowed and the foundations of several
houses in course of erection were washed
away. The cellars of a large number of
buildings were flooded. The stable of Geo.
Sheets was struck by lightning and val
liable mare killed. The aggregate loss will
reach several thousand dollars.
The schooner Leonidas, Capt. David
Howard, was also struck by lightning dur
ing the storm, and had her mainmast shat
tered
The box factory of l.. CRUDE & Co.,
corner of West Falls avenue and Lombard
street, was struck by lightning, entailing a
loss of $4,000.

Congrega,ionnIi.m i'm vermont.

The Congregational churches ofVermont,
with over eighteen thousand members and
more than two hundred trained ministers,
made, last year. a net loss Of ninety-nine
communicates. The Vermont Chronicle
asks, "What are we to conclude in view of
these facts2 What would be said of an
army of eighteen thousand workers for any
worthy object that did not so much as hold
its own numbers, but made a net loss of a
hundred? Would it be regarded as thor
oughly efficient and faithful? AT this rate
what will become of the Vermont churches
and what of the great fields of our country
and of the world? Sometimes believers
speak of the ncarness of the final triumphs
ofthe Gospel-the long expected millennium
how near can that event be, If Vermont
churches go on in this way2" The Watch
man and Reflector comes to the rescue
with well considered words of generous
consolation. 1t says; SIN the first place,
emigration is steadily draining away the
best blood of Vermont Probably the ma
tive population has diminished more than
have Congregational communicates. In
the second place, this very fact weakens
the hands of the ministry, weakens strong
churches and makes weak ones weaker;
takes away the more enterprising element,
and dispirits all round. Much depends on
how we put things. Suppose, in this case,
we say that the Vermont churches have all
but held their own, notwithstanding their
steady depletion by death and emigration;
while at the same time, u large portion of
those who go West become the seed of
whole churches and of Puritan institutions
generally, What is true of our Congrega-
tional brethren is true in the main of Bap-
fists. Wherefore lift up the hands which
hang down"

THE SIXTEENTH OF AUGUST.
The Fireman's Muster AT usenning-
ton.

Everything goes to show that the fire
mans muster, which is to be held at Ben
nington this week, Saturday, will be a sue
cess, and from present appearances il is
safe to say that everyone that secs fit to
attend on that day will go home perfectly
satisfied. If they do not, it will not be
the fault of the committee. who are doing
everything in their power TO make all
things pleasant and everybody as comfor-
table rs possible. Already eight engine
companies have been heard from, and there
are two or three more that will be present,
if they can make suitable arrangements
with railroads. In addition to the fire
companies, the North Adams Light Infan-
try Cor ''boys in bluc'D will he present and
Join in the parade This company is COM
posed of lads from fifteen to eighteen
years of age, are finely uniformed and
equipped, and they announce that they
will appear with sixty in their ranks. They
will he commanded by Capt. Fleming, L.
$. A., and escorted by the North Adams
cornet band. Their proficiency in the
manual of arms and other military evolu-
tons are spoken of in terms of highest
praise by those who have seen them. The
Wilson Hose Company Of the same place
will be present, and the Union Hook and
Ladder Company of Rutland have been
invited, and we all hope they will appear
on that day. The citizens of Bennington
are anticipating much pleasure in listening
to the music of the Sherman band of Wi
nooski, who, we see by the papers, are to
accompany Nickwackett to Bennington to
the muster
Probably the most laughable feature of
the days doings will be the parade of the
r. A. j. of Bennington. They will mus
ter two hundred strong, and will march
through the principal street to the music
of their own fine band of twenty pieces.
Their parade will take place before the
fireman's, and they announce that their
present display will excel all former pa
radesin the magnilicencc of their trappings,
their streaming banners, brilliant uniforms
and their of horses and carriages; all gaily
trimmed and decorated expressly for the

The MnMassett Disaster
TIE STORY or one OF THE sAvED-HARgow-
ING SCENES.

THE STORY or oSE OF THE SAVED
ING SCENES.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II.
A Star correspondent writing from Chat
irons Landing, the scene of the Wawas-
sett disaster, says; Boatmen living on the
line of the river say the screams of the
women and children could be heard for
miles. All boats available were at once
brought into service, and every effort made
to extend relief. Gentlemen in charge of
the interment OF the corpses, the larger
number of whom were negroes, found diff
ficuty in getting colored men lounging
about the scene of the wreck, to assist at
the burial of their own color, owing to the
supersttious belief that i'll luck would at
tend them if they touched the corpses.
The statement of Miss Kate Mcpherson,
one of the saved and a very intelligent lady,
is given. She was in company with Miss
Marbury of the Treasury Department, and
kept with her during the first part of the
excitement until the smoke drove them
down the gangway; then she missed hei on
the main deck and the rush of colored peo-
pie was so great towards the life boat that
she could not turn to find her She
was hudded overheard after the life boat
was stove in with many Others by the rush
of the colored people towards the gangway.
That she Immediately sunk and rose twice,
and knew nothing more until she found
herself in boat and being carried ashore.
She described the scene on the burning
boat as most terrible to witness. Flames
burst ont all round and swept aft driving
women and children over into the water.
She saw four little children hanging of~by
their hands to the burning steamer, and
one after the other drop into the water
the flames driving them off The colored
people were perfectly wild, and no remon-
STRANGE on the part of the Officers was
needed They jumped into the boat piling
peoples boat, refusing all whites admission,
when it went down and all were dumped
into the water together, and many Others
followed, being pushed overheard.
The flames burst into the main deck set
ting fire to clothing of women and chill
dren, who were hoping for some relief,
but none could pass the gangway FOR
the flames and screams of women and chill
dren were deafening.
Hiram Smith. colored man, states that
he was present and witnessed the loss of
the lifeboat As she was lowered to the
main deck the colored men took possession
of her by force and no threats or persua-
sions of officers could prevent them. The
boat was heaped full of baggage and men
and he saw yellow man cut the bow rope,
when she fell down with such force as to
tear out the stern because of the davit hold
ing at that end and all in her sunk.

Fatal ARRAY.

New YORK, Aug. II.
AT 8 o'clock this morning, the people in
the vicinity of SO Vesey street, were start
led by hearing a pistol shot. A number
rushed into the store of Steinhardt, Bros
& Schonlake. Samuel Schonlake was found
in the store, dying from a pistol shot
wound III the head. lie had been shot by
Ephraim Steinhardt Steinhardt, after
shooting Schonlake, attempted to commit
suicide by shooting himself in the breast.
Both men are MORALLY wounded. The only
witness to the tragic event was the porter
of the firm. He has disappeared and the
police are searching for him. The quarrel
is supposed to have been about girl whom
Steinheardt was about to marry.
Schonlake is in a fair way Of recovery,
but Steinhardt still continues very low
There is no apparent reason in the relations
of the two men for either murder or sui
eide. One cannot and the other will not
tell anything about it beyond the bare state
ment that there are family matters.

CIVIL SERVICE.
NEM YORB


NEW York, Aug. II.
A Washington dispatch says the Morn
ing Chronicle condemns the present sys-
TEN of competitive examinations for civil
service in the strongest terms, declaring
that they are unequal, unjust and failure.
1t says that the execution of the rules will
result in lowering the standard of official
ability and excellence. Examinations in
many instances are conducted without any
reference to the object to be attained and
in direct opposition to ordinary rules that
govern and control business men in the Sc
lection of their assistants. There may be
some good i'll the system, but as yet no
evidences of it have been shown, either in
its execution or in selections made under
its rules, other than that which might have
resulted had there been no civil service eX-
aminations whatever.
