TERRIBLE DISASTER IN THE ENG
LTSH CHANNEL

We have the following account Of an awful
disaster at sea:
London, September Information of a
terrible disaster in the English channel has
Just been received. The British ship Ava
lanche, Captain Williams, from London, Sep
TENDER q, for New Zealand, came in collision
with the British ship Forest, from New York,
off Portland and both vessels foundered.
Ninety-si persons were drowned. The For
rest was in ballast, and had crew numbering
twenty-one. Captain Lockhart, the chief
mate and seven others were saved. The Ava
lanche had crew of thirty-two and fifty
passengers The third officer and two seamen
were saved.
Following are additional particulars of the
collision in the channel: The Forrest struck
the Avalanche between the main and mizzen
masts, nearly cutting her in two. The latter
sank immediately The Forrest, though
utterly wrecked, kept afoat for an hour or
two Three boats were launched from her,
only one of which has yet been saved. 1t
contained twelve persons, already mentioned
as saved One boat was washed ashore and
several bodies. The other boat it is fC red is
lost The Avalanche had sixty three passen-
gers-twenty- saloon, seventeen second
class and twenty third -class-mostly colonists.
The disaster occurred at $50 last night,
seven miles off Portland.
Latest particulars show that over 100 per-
sons were drowned in the disaster of the For
rest off Portland

perjured herself Her narrative of her base
husbands cruelty and abuse is stigmatized as
a recital OF imaginary grievances with the
prompt partisanship of shyster divorce law
yer, and she is sternly informed that it is
like her impudence to make second afida-
Wit after the Chronicle had fully replied to-
her first complaint, and had exposed her sin
lister motives. Perhaps it would be prudent
for Mrs Pinney to seek protection against
the Chronicle, as well as against its client.
Judging from its present attitude we should
hardly be surprised if it arrogated an equal
right with Pinney to knock her down and
drag her out She had better be careful, for
her late husband has evidently found a
champion who believes in wife beating, and
who holds that no woman would or could ever
complain of her husbands brutality unless
she had darkly malignant motives, or was in
spired by "ring.' On the whole the public
will be inclined to agree with US in the opin-
ion that the Chronicle is just now engaged in
little the dirtiest business that even its va
ried experience in foul employments has con-
neoted it withal !"

ERUPTION OF COTOPAXI.

Under date of New York, September II we
have the following:
A letter from Latacunga, Ecuador, gives
the story of the eruption of the volcano of
Cotopaxi, which took place July 25. Streams
of water poured from all the craters at once
on the Clava side, sweeping away everything
in their course. Another Irresistible torrent
followed the course of the Soguirmal river.
The hacienda of Signor Donoza is in ruins
She very soil has gone off the place of Siguor
Larrea and nothing is left The torrent car
ried off 500 head of cattle at pasture in the
field The Alagues river overflowed, and
caused great damage. The Cutchico over
flowed, carrying everything before it. A
splendid machine shop went down like card
house at the first rush of the waters, as did
various mills. The entire district is like a sea.
and the inundation would have destroyed the
city had not the course of the food been time
ly diverted into the river channels. The
total loss of life will reach if not exceed 900
persons. At least two thousand head of
cattle bave been destroyed, and of smaller
animals the loss is much greater. In the
midst of the roar of waters and crushing of
houses the volcano poured out an immense
quantity of cinders, which gradually darkened
the whole face of the heavens and left Lata-
cunga in the most profound obscurity from l
0 clock in the afternoon until 10 o'clock at

BURNING OF THE GRAND PRIZE HoIsTNG-
hosting works, at Tuscarora was destroyed
by fire on Sunday last, involving a loss of
$1,000. The Elko Independent describes the
accident as follows:
Assisted by strong, but fortunately favor
able wind, the flames spread through the dry
lumber building with the rapidity of light
ming, scarcely afording the employees time to
escape. One of the engineers was so closely
pressed that he failed to secure fine watch
and $500 in gold notes in his vest hanging
near him, and workman upon some timbers
sixty feet to the leaward of the building,
had mt time to save the tools with which he was
working, being forced to beat hasty retreat
all available means to protect the surround
ing property were used with a will, and most
effectively, for Notwithstanding the proximity
of the new mill, shops, companys office,
stacks of wood and coal, etc, etc, nothing
beyond the shaft house ahd a few timbers
upon which the flames were directly driven,
were destroyed. The steam pump in the
shalt continued to work throughout, which
furnishes strong grounds for the belief that
the damage to the machinery generally, is
light. The shaft is unniured
beyond depth of five feet from the surface,
and gallows frame sheave even was unin-
jured by It's fall; the reels and foundations
appear to be uninjured, and it is thought |
that the damage to the machinery will prove
very slight. The successful effort to save the
water tanks situate only few feet from the
building, enabled the salvation of the shaft |
The total loss will not probably exceed |
50, 900, and Mr.. Nally is sanguine that the
works will again be hosting ore inside of a
week

fired at him, bnt this, instead of intimidating
him, made him worse, as he Immediately
opened fire on them. At this one of the
brothers jumped at the Indian with knife
and cut his throat, killing him. Immediately
after the killing the McClanes delivered them
selves up to the proper authorities at Hike
Tem-Piute Jim is a brother of Tem-Piute
Bill, who was hung at Hike for murder about
two years and half ago. The Indians are
much excited over the matter and threaten
vengence.

DRESSED BEEF FOR CHICAGO Says the
Silver State of Monday:
Some of the prominent cattle men of this
vicinity have made arrangements for trying
the experiment of shipping dressed meats to
Chicago from this station. A Central Pacific
refrigerator car has arrived here, and it is to
be loaded with about 20 900 pounds of prime
beef. The car is so arranged that thirty or
more carcasses can be hung up, as in sham
bles, and kept at a few degrees above freezing
point while being taken to its destination.
Should this experiment prove successful, and
its success depends upon the price that can be
obtained for the meat in Eastern markets, it
will be carried ON on a large scale this fall
and winter.

Clerk to-day. The Sun says the liabilities are
$3.50, 900. The assets are represented by
numerous publications, his large printing and
engraving establishment, with it's presses,
machinery and fixtures, and a considerable
establishment at Interlake, near Saratoga
Mr.. Leslie's embarrassments arise in good
part from too extended investments in real
estate. An arrangement has been made
whereby the publication will be continued.

MINERS EMPLOYED AT EUREKA The Sem
tinel gives the following account:
The Eureka Consolidated mine and furnaces
employ about 800 men, whose daily wages ag-
gregate the snug sum of 81 POO; the Rich
mond Company, $50 men, 5000; the K K
Consolidated, $50 men, $500; the Jackson, 26
men S1O4; the Connolly, 20 men, $50; the
Bald Eagle, 16 men, S64; the Hamburg, 70
men, $3.50; Matamoras, 80 men, S120; Lem
mon mill, % men 500; and small outside
mines in the neighborhood of 100 men, $500.
1t will be seen by the above that there are
about $50 miners and furnacemen now at
work in this district, the daily wages amount
ing to about So, 500, or S105, 900 turned loose
at the monthly pay days. Add to this the
sums disbursed for coal and other supplies
and it will be seen that considerable coin
finds its way into circulation in Eureka It
is probable that during the month at least
$50 more miners will be put upon the rolls,
which will proportionately increase the grand
total.

like to ask you what class are most resigned,

throat and said: "Well, Deacon, have not
seen so very many deaths, but, so far as I
have been able to learn, the people who die
the happiest are those who are hanged"

The Merits of Paper Collars.

The man who had paper collars for
sale was haranguing a crowd on the Es-
plhade the other night as follows
" Here, gentlemen, is the champion pa
per collar of the globe, unequaled for
style, duration and finish, although it
takes long time to make a finish of it.
You can wear one week, turn it and
wear it another week, split it, and 10 |!
you have two more collars. And when
| think of the oceans of beer that will
annually dribble down through all these
collars, feel like a brewery. Every
body should wear these collars; no one
can keep house without them. They
promote longevity, and restore gray hair
to its original color They improve the
complexion, and purify the blood, and
force beard or mustache upon the
smoothest face in six days. They
strengthen the appetite and will remove
tan, freckleS, cOrnS and bunions. They
will curl the straighest hair in ten min
utes. Every woman should buy a box
for her husband; they will collar man
in the club-roOm, billiard-hall, political
caucus or free lunch, regularly and
promptly at nine o'clock p. m, and
drag him home. A man can't swear
with one of them on. Business men
should make their office-boys wear them
as they are infallible and absolute pre-
ventives of whistling. Hotel-keepers
shou d buy them, as they won't let the
wearer eat too much. They are war
ranted to cure tooth-ache of three years
standing, neuralgia, rheumatism, broker
heart, prairie mango, consumption
dyspepsia and blind s.aggers. ''-Cincin

Editors We Read About.

We have been reading "That Wife of
Nine" and, unlike most readers, have
found in it a character that is-not in
teresting nor entertaining, but-for want
of better word we will say-curious.
1t is the husband of that wife He is an
| editOr-''the kind you read about" At
the beginning of the story, which is
some distance along in the book, he oc-
cupies a subordinate position on a news
paper. Then he goes abroad and does
some occasional correspondence for the
paper. Then he returns and is offered
a position as chief editor. This may all
seem very natural to the author of
"That Wife of Mine" and to the aver
age reader; but from the newspaper
point of view it is the widest sort of tic-
ton. In the first place the young man
who holds a subordinate position does
not 90 abroad. On the contrary he
pledges his salaryin advance to his land
lady and wastes his energy in lodging
his washerwOman. But suppOsing that
he does 90 abrOad-he is not the one
who, returning home, is called to the
chief editors chair. That responsibility
is conferred upon the other young man
who has grown somewhat old and thin
by close application to his work, and
not upon the one who has grown robust
in the easy capacity of tourist and Occa-
siOnal correspondent. Later in the book
we find this editor in the midst of a third
editorial article of the day-the othertwO
lying on his desk, cooling. Now the
leading writer of newspaper doesn't
reel off able editorials in any such
wholesale manner. He has some mod
esty about him-and consideration for
his readers. Again we find this re-
markable editor jesting lightly over the
loss of live-hundredd dollar watch, and
some two or three hundred dollars in
ready cash. This is the bOldest kind of
fiction. 1t is barely possible that an
editor might jest over the loss of that
amount of property; but the loss of it
implies former possession of it-a situa-
ton which none but the most audacious
purveyOr of fiction would think of en-
bOdving in a story Illustrative of real
life. Throughout the book we find this
editorial husband of that wife talking in
the language of scholarly leaders and
sarcastic squibs; whereas nine editors
wives out of possible ten will reluc-
family admit that they are puzzled to
understand what there is in the atmOs-
phere of an editorial room to give even
a fair degree of brilliancy to the
thoughts of one who is so conspicuously
stupid and commonplace at home. Per
haps there will sometimes arise play
WRIGHT or n hook writer who shall
introduce in his play or in his book
character bearing some slight resem-
blance to the tlesh-and-blood editor.
And if there does, the public will be-
hold or read about 4 character who, in
stead of talking in loud tones, dealing
in sarcasm and wit with enviable ease,
wearing his hair on tiptoe and staring
wild at every body, will be very com
monplaoe sort of chap whose chief
characteristic will be an evident feeling
of awkwardness at being so far away
from his desk.-WOrceSter Press.

-Skim-milk makes fair pudding.
DO not make your bread too light.
Fat is not cheap at the price of meat.
Fish will broil in from to 10 min
utes.
New flour takes up more water than
old.
-Broil your steak from 10 to Is min
utes.
Apples are more substantial than
potatoes.
Stale bread may be steamed into
freshness.
Never cut broiling meat The juices
escape.
Slow and long cooking will make
tough meat tender.
=" Middlings" flour contains the best
elements of wheat.
Add pea or bean-meal to your bread
flour for nOurishment.
For pork, 20 minutes to each pound
is required for cooking.
Your fat must be boiling when you
put your meat into it to fry.
Salmon and sturgeon are red-blood-
ed and are as nutritious as meat.
Salt meats should be simmered;
they should not be fercely boiled.
DO not boil your cabbage after the

possible, in water in which meat has
been cooked.
-Half-a-pint of dried peas makes two
quarts of good soup. Add carrot or
an onion or two or three cloves. Dat
meal may be added to advantage. Beans
may be used in the same way.
