CONSIDERABLE talk has been caused AT
Davenport, Iowa, by the discovery that
sixteen graves at Camp Mcclellan, near
that city, have been robbed of their con-
tents. The graves are those of Indians who
were brought from Minnesota rs prisoners
about fifteen years ago, and died while in
custody. The person who opened the
graves is said to be young physician who
sold skeletons to colleges from twenty-five
to thirty dollars each.
Hone CHIN Foo, Chiuaman who has re-
sided in this country since 1873, has Left St
Louis for Memphis to treat yellow fever by
a remedy which he claims to be infallible.
He proposes to make pipes Of a peculiar
construction, and provide a preparation of
opium and some oil, the use of which he
states is the real cause of the immunity of
the Chinese from the ravages OF the disease
He is perfectly sanguine Of the success Of
his experiment.
AT SIX o'clock on the evening OF August
80, a fire was discovered in the cupola OF
the Put-in-Bay House, at Put-in-Bay Island
and in less than tEo hours the fine hotel
with six additional buildings, including the
Bing House, was in ruins. The contents of
most Of the buildings were saved. The loss
is roughly estimated at one hundred thous-
and dollars, with insurance for one fourth
the amount. The guests of the Put-in-Bay
House saved most of their baggage, and are
safely quartered at the Beebe House. No
lives were lost.
ANDY ARMSTRONG, late mate OF the John
Porter, an Ohio River steamer, has arrived in
Louisville. He is the only survivor left of
the entire crew who remained on board, and
the picture he paints of the terrible fate OF
the Porter is horrible in the extreme, re-
calling in some of its CHASTITY details the
Ancient Mariner of vore. The men who
shipped at Louisville were all taken down
before they reached Cincinnati, himself eN-
cepted. He says the situation of things
frightened away both nurse and doctor.
At Gallipolis, Ohio, people with shOt-guns
prevented the boat from landing, and when
his last companion died they would not per
nit him to come ashore to bury the body,
which was cast into the river. Armstrong
was given fifty dollars, and fed here, where
his family lives. He thinks the disease
which is moving down so many is not vel
low fever, but fearfully contagious, what
ever it may be.

should be sacredly maintained. and
