Special dispatch To the Dallas Heraldl
NEw York, April la dispatch
from ST, Johns gives the following
from the captain of the steamer Pam
lher, which VESSEL brought news to st.
John on the third instant The Panther
was on her return from st. Johns,
when the lookout reported n steam
er apparently moving only under
sails. The Panther approached her
and discovered she had her flag at
half-mast. After signalling her the
Panthers boats were lowered and upon
going aboard, they discovered her to
be the steamer Tigress of Polaris fame.
Her agent and chief officer gave the
following information to the captain
of the Panther On April 9, at , p. NJ,
the vessel was shaken all over by Il
terrific explosion Of the boiler, which
created terror and confusion. The es-
Gaping steam completely enveloped
every compartment. The captain of
the Tigress said the weather was dread
fully wet and rough with n heavy
swell. A number of men had gone
below after watch, and turned in on
top of the boiler for the sake of the
warmth. Nineteen of the crew were
reposing this way when the crash oc-
CURED. Some Of them were literally
scalded beyond recognition. The two
engineers on duty at the time Were
both killed.
LONDON, April 1.-THE funeral Of
DIR. Livingstone takes place on the 18th
instant. The government pay 81 $50
toward the expenses. An appeal
signed by Barnets Burdett-Coutter,
Messrs. kennard, Horace Waller, Sir
Bartle Frey and Others, asking for n
subscription to raise means to support
the children and the two aged sisters of
the deceased.
A dispatch from Calcutta to the
Standard reports the famine as every
where under control. The accumula-
ton of provisions growing out of the
appropriations made by the govern
ment, are more than sufficient to meet
the demand, and further subscriptions
from England are considered super
tiuous.
A Berlin dispatch to the daily News
says that Bismarck distinctly warned
several liberal deputies, who called on
him yesterday, that he would resign in
fovor of Mantufel, unless the military
question is settled. The liberals after
wards agreed to the compromise pre-
viously reported. Bismarck's condi-
ton is improving.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April ia few
miles below the city, last night, the
steamer Tarascon ran into skiff con-
tanning two persons, and the skit' was
capszed. One of the occupants, Henry
Hudson, of New York, was drowned
and his companion had narrow es-
cape.
Young Breckenridge and some of his
companions had been drinking during
the day and u seemingly playful dis
pute arose between Breckenridge and q
young man named Anderson, son Of
the Mayor of Lebanon, about the pos
session of an umbrella belonging to
Breckenridge. This was finally quiet
ed and Breckenridge asked the party
to drink. While leaning over the bar,
Anderson suddenly drew derringer
and placing it at Breckinridge's head,
fired, the ball penetrating his brain.
Anderson fled Immediately and
posse are now after him.
