A FearfulLeap for Life.

MILLE1sTowN, April 4-The Hamp
hill farm, a short distance southeast
of Millerstown, was the scene OF an
explosion, fire and probable loss OF
life, at eight O'Clock this evening.
1t seems that two men named Clark,
and Herrick, working on the Blair
well, were in the act of pulling the
tubing. Harrick was on the top of the
derrick and Clark was standing on
floor beneath, when an explosion
took place, ignitingthe oil tanks and
derricks. --. .
Clark rushed precipitately from The
spot and escaped with slight burns,
Herreck jumped from the tS of der
rick with his clothes on fire and ran
up the hill where some men succeed
ed in extinguishing the flames on his
person. How he escaped without
broken bones after jumping from the
top of a fifty foot derrick is something
which borders on the miraculous.
His injuries are severe although not
necessarily fatal. The oil as it pour
ed its liquid fire down the hill toward
Millerstown threatened to ignite nu-
merous other tanks; these tanks, how
ever, did not happen to be full and
the oil burned itself out after destroy
ing one dwelling and fifteen hundre d
barrels of oil. ...

Accident ON Lake Michiga N,

SOUTH CHICAGO, Ill, April o.
A party of fishermen, nine in num-
Der, were driving piles about two
miles from land, in Lake Michigan,
opposite this village, for the purpose
of buoying their fishing boats, when
the wind came up suddenly and cap
sized their boat, drowning seven of
the party.
Later reports of the disaster gives
the following particulars: The storm
suddenly swept feariully over the
lake, detaching the boat containing
the fishermen from its moOrings and
driving it rapidly out to sea. Appre-
hending their perilous position the
men lashed themselves to the craft
and waited the result, as they were
powerless. The boat was finally
capsized, dashing the whole party
into the chilling water The acci-
dent was witnessed by crowds of
Mortified spectators on shore, who
felt it sure death to venture on the
lake to assist them. One by one
they became exhausted and sank
until but two remained, who pushed
out from the boat, boldly striking for
shore. A fisherman named Hessler
jumped into a small boat moored on
shore and started to their assistance,
and by almost superhuman efforts
rescucd them.

Indian Affairs.

CHEYENNE, April l2.-Thc Chey-
cnne Leader has the following from
its correspondent at Red Cloud
Agency, dated; April I, The Com
missioners returned from Spotted
Tsil to-day having accomplished abb
solutely nothing. Their Pow.wow-
ing at the agencieshas rather COM
plicated matters between the Indians
and the government The Indians
at Spotted Tail refuse absolutely to
have their agency removed; say they
are tired of seeing the commissioners
and have invited the present delega-
ton to leave in language. more forei.
bic than polite. 1t is understood
that the commissioners will proceed
east at once and ask for a strong
military escort and return within a
month and move the agency. The
visit ofthe commissioners has only
served to destroy the moral effect
produced by the troops. Indians
who are keen observers, have notice
ed that there is hitch somewhere in
the working of things relating to
them. They expect one thing from
the military, and are led to believe
something else from the Peace Com
missioners.
Spotted Tail accused the Commits
tsioners in council of seeking to stir
up trouble between his people and
the Northern Indians, and in the
language of the interpreter, said he
wanted them to dry up; he says he
hiss been moved around and pestered
SO much by these flies from the Great
Father that he wants his words writ
ten down this time, to show to all of
them who are begging around here
after that he won't talk to them any
more. There is no doubt that Spot
ted Tai and Red Cloud are acting
in accord. The former, after few
words spoken in an excited manner,
waved his hand to his people and
they all left. The same scene occur
red at Req Cloud A show of count
ing the Indians has been made here
that is, the Commissioners called in
the head men and took their word for
the number they had. SO far six
thousand have been registered. There
are probably four thousand or less.
Several bands have refused to either
be counted or change the number for
which they have heretofore drawn
rations. Some of them, after they
had handed in their numbers, came
next day and claimed they had for
gotten their women and children,
and wanted to register them. The
Peace COMMISSIONERS arrived at
Cheyenne yesterday.

NEW YORK, April ll.-Captain
Bartlett, Of the whaling steamer Pan
ther arrived at St. Johns, n. F., yes
terday, and gives the following ac-
count Of his meeting the Tigress, and
a story of a terrible disaster to that
vessel, as told by her officers. On
Friday Sd inst the Panther was in

deg. % min. north, on her return to
st. Johns, when the lookout report
ed steamer apparently moving ony

After signalling her, | went on board
of her myself, when l discovered her
10 be the steamer Tirgress, of Polar
fame. Her Captain and chief officers
were on deck. | was then informed
that on Thursday, April 2, at two in
the afternoon, the vessel was shaken
all over by terrible explosion of her
boiler, which created great terror and
confusion, as the escaped steam COM
pletely enveloped every compartment
below. In consequence, all the steam
faculties had been destroyed, and
they had tben been under sail against
the head-wind twenty-four hours.
Whsp | reached the deck of the Ii
gress number of the men were ma
king up and mailing together some
rough pine boxes. / asked the COM
mander what they were for, and he
said that they were designed for re-
ceiving the bodies of the unfortunate
men who had been killed by the acci-
dent on the day of the explosion.
The weather was dreadfully cold,
with stiff breze blowing, and heavy
swell on A number of the men went
below after the watch, and had turn
ed in on the top of the boiler for the
warmth. Nineteen af the crew were
reposing in this way when the crash
occurred, and some Of them were
literally scalded beyond recognition.
The CONSERVATION was fearful. Two

THE returns from the local cleo
,;ons in Ohio do not indicate re-
markable success on part OF the
crusading ladies. OF course the tenn
perance question more or less entered
into the municipal elections, and some
queer results are shown. In some
places the prohibitionists elected their
ticket, but on the whole they did not
exhibit a strength commensurate with
the zeal lately displayed, and notably
in the towns where the crusading first
commenced, the anti-temperance oil
Democratic tickets were successful.

WILLIAMspoRT, PA, April ll.-An
incendiary fire was started at one
o'clock this morning in the piling
yard of Brown, Early & Cos saw
mill. 1t destoyed all the lumber,
amounting to about twenty millions
of feet, piled on thirty acres of ground,
between the above named yard and
White, Leuiz, & Whites saw mill.
In its course it consumed Filbert,
Otto & Co.'S saw mill, c. III. Krouse

gale during the first part of the fire.
1t is reported that one man was
burned to death in the brick planning
mill. Assistance was received promp-
tly from the Lo ckhaven and Sunbury

Tue Connecticut election resulted
in favor of the Democracy, they elect
ing their candidate for Governor, and
a majority in both branches of the
Legislature, thereby securing a U. S.
Senator in place of Buckingham, the
present Republican incumbent. Va
r;ous causes led to this result, nota-
bly, the apathy of Republicans and
the running of a third (Temperance)
ticket The Democracy are immeas-
urably jubilant over their victory
and forgetting that but few days
since, they could not even raise the
ghost of their party in the adjacent
State of Rhode Island-loudly pro-
claims a wonderful change in public
sentiment that will shortly restore
their party to national power, Con-
necticut has been close State for
years, and the present result is of no
special significance, the vote of the
winning party showing no important
increase, while the Republican vote
is short about thirteen thousand,
thus proving that when they please
to do their duty to themselves and
their party, the State is in their
hands.
The latest returns indicate that the
majority for Ingersoll, Democrat, for
Governor, will not exceed 1000. In
1873 the majority for the same gen.
tlemsn for that Office was 1857 over
all competitors. 1t will be seen from
this that though the Democrats have
proved successful in electing their can
didate, yet their victory is noticeable
chiefly for the large reduction effected
in his majority. The Legislature is
overwhelmingly Democratic. the Sem
