SUMMARY OF. THE GENERAL NEWS.
The Des Moines' Rapids Canal.

The great canal around the Des MONIES
kuk, Iowa, was formally opened on
the s2d, with a suitable display, and large
attendance ofinvited guests and citizens. The
Golden Eagle, with a large delegation OF st
Louis excursionists got stuck on a sand ba-
and failed to arrive, consequently the pro
Sramme was only partially carried out. The
Government steamer Montana, and the North
western, Of the Keokuk Northern Line passed
through the canal and blocks successfully, and
returned in less than four hours, taking sever
al hundred passengers each. i The officers in
charge express themselves entirely satisfied
with the working of the machinery These
rapids have been the greatest obstruction to
navigation in the river, and in low water
were always impossible, and the cost OF trans
porting goods and passengers around them by
rail has fallen on individuals, and will now be
saved The amount thus saved will amount
to about one hundred thousand annually. The
canal is seven and sixteenth miles long and
three hundred feet wide, extending along
down the shore from Keokuk to Nashville.
The minimum depth is five feet. The fall is
1879 feet, with an embankmcnt sixty to ninety
feet wide at the bottom and ten feet wide at
the top. There are three locks three hundred
and fifty feet long and eighty wide of cut stone
masonry, and cost $36O,00O to $725OOO. The
lower dock is at Keokuk The gates can be
opened or closed in moment or less, and the
locks fill in about three minutes SO that
steamer may pass through in from eight to
twelve minutes. The works1was begun in
1867, and has cost the government 81, 1890
There is a balance of 100000 on hand, and it
is estimated that 100000 more will be neces-
sary to finish the Improvement. 4-1

Investigation OF Indian Matters.

It is now reported That the investiga-
ton into the Indian Office affairs will certainly
result disastrously to Commissioner Smith;
not that he has been personally guilty of bad
practices, but has not had the nerve to pre-
vent them, The name of Orville Grant and
his connection with certain Indian traderships
and matters of similar unpleasant orders are
painfully brought up in these whispers as to
the coming report. There is a great express
sion OF feeling coming from the country on the
Indian business, and most persons insist on
the immediate transfer of the Indian bureau
to the, war department.. Events of the sum-

Tie Benevolent Stranger.

there were a dozen men in q Michi-

smoking time away or playing check
ers, when a dreary-looking, middle
aged stranger entered and crowded in
behind the stove. When he had thaw-
ed out a little and wiped a tear from
his nose he looked around and asked
"Did any of you read about that ter
rible cyclone in the East?"
One Or two replied that they had
seen an account of it.
"Well, gentlemen, there will be the
tallest kind OF suffering down there this
winter, and it is the duty of every man
who can spare a dollar to send it to the
poor victims. [ will now pass around

pleted the circuit it was rs empty as
when he started.

dened," he remarked, as he put on his
hat; "those people need money, and
though | am a poor man, I'm going to
forward my share. Is there any one
here who will take alive dollar bill and

stranger.

"That's good. Do any of you hap
pen to have any fine cut about you?"

A Fatal Explosion in a Colorado Mine.

The Spanish mine, near the Dives,
above Silver Plume, was the scene last
Wednesday of an appalling tragedy.
The workings on the mine consist of a
shaft so feet deep, from which a level
is extended 20 feet, and at the end OF
the level is a shaft owe 100 feet in
depth. A party of Italians had leased
the mine of Hanson e Co., and were
working in the deep shaft on the. day
mentioned. About 9 a.. m. Joseph
Bergner came up the level and discov-
cred that the shaft-house above was in
flames. He at once gave the alarm to
his comrades below, and then made his
way with great difficulty through. the
smoke and through the burning build
ing to the open air, scorched and
bruised. The miners employed near by
hurried, to the spot, and attempted to
put out the fire, but, learning that six
kegs of powder were stored in the
s~haft-house, returned in time to avoid
the effects Of the explosion which
soon took place. Hardy twenty min
utes had passed since Bergner es-
capped, before the debris was cleaned
away, and men were descending the
shaft to rescue those who were known
to be imprisoned below. In the level
were found the ~lifeless bodies of Pietro
Fernando, Enrica Tinaci, and Lorenzo
Butzelli. They had evidently not real
lied that their only hope lay in making
q desperate effort TO ascend, and had
been overcome in d few minutes by the
smoke and the foul air generated blythe
draft of the fire overhead. Death
quickly put an end to their sufferings,
and their natural positions showed that
asp%hixiation is a speedy and almost
painless end. The bodies were brought
To the surface eight hours after the ac-
cident, and an inquest was held by the
authorities at Silver Plume. There are
many Italians resident in Georgetown,
and all are deeply impressed by this
sad calamity, and will display their
sympathy for the bereaved ones in &
practical manner.-DenUer Tribune.
