SICKENING HORROR.
a Japanese Junk Found in the Pacific
with a Load of Putrid Corpses
On BOard-N0t a Soup of
Food to be Found.

SAN Francisco, July 23.-The tales of
those who 90 down to the sea in ships are
manifold, and many of them almost beyond
credence. Adventures by sea, CHASTITY sto-
ries of shipwreck: starvation, and even of
cannibalism are all too common, and many a
gallant bark has lett friendly port, bearing
hundreds of hopeful hearts to friends across
the ocean, or to new scenes and strange lands
to seek fortune, and has gone down with
all on board, to be heard of no more. The
last ocean horror has been brought to light
by the schooner Parallel, which arrived to-
day. The captain reports that on July 9TH,
when off the coast of California, about one
hundred miles from this port, he fell in with
Japanese junk, with her sails In ribbons,
and her standing rigging flying to all points
of the compass, with no one to handle her or
see whether she was on or off her course. Not
living soul was there on the vessel, but on
going between decks CHASTITY and sickenlng
sight met the eyes of the schooner's crew.
, Scattered about in various attitudes were a
number of corpses, some shackled together,
and several attired IN rich and costly apparel.
The appearance of the corpses and the sick
eniDg smell permeating the junk showed that
the unfortunate ones must have died MOI q
than a month before they were found. Net
a scrap OF food was to be found on the vessel
and the natural inference is that all hands
| must have persisted of hunger. The mystery
will, In all probability. remain unsolved till
old ocean gives up its dead.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT
And Remarkable Escape Of One Hun
dred Men from Being Crushed to
Death-A Large Fiy-WheeI
Breaks.
Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer

PITTsBURG, July 24-An extraordina Y
accident occurred a few minutes after seven
o'clock this evening at Painter d Sons mill
in the thirty-fourth ward, extraordinary in
the manner of the accident. In the amount Of
damage done and the escape of one hundred
men who were working in the mill a few
minutes before it fell into a promIscuuus
heap. At the time noted the belt that
runs the governor of the engine in the mill
slipped off or broke, letting on several times
more steam than was necessary to furnish
the power required to run the mill. The
engineer, seeing the imminent danger, not
only got away in the twinkling of an eye,
but succeeded almost simultaneously In COM
municating his fright to the balance,
and all scratched gravel at rate that
emptied the mill in less than half minute.
1t was well they did. for the tremendous mo-
mentum given to the large hy-wheei was
such as to cause it to resolve itself into a
multitude OF pieces, each piece flying with
the velocity of a cannon-ball. So thoroughly
and generally were the fragments distributed
that they knocked almost every prop from
under the structure, and caused it to settle
into heap OF ruins. As it was supposed
that the ruins would take fire, an alarm was
sent In from box III. Chief Evans got down
in time to ascertain that there was no danger
of combustion, before the engines arrived,
and they did not go into service. 1t Is diff
cult 10 estimate the loss, as IT was impossible
to tell the amount of damage the machinery
had sustained, but it was supposed the en-
CINE was badly damaged, the cyinder-head
having been blown out and all parts proba-
bly, badly strained and warped. The struc.
ture covering the machinery was iron clad
and, of course, not very expensive The
damage was placed at twenty thousand dol
lars at a venture. In addition to present
damage is the accompanying suspension of
work until the mill is rebuilt The firm are
engaged in filing large contract for cotton
ties, and this mill was one of the few that
had been run double turn this season.

LANDS.
The Recent Decision OF the Interior
Department Affirming its Right
to Sell Lands Granted to
Railroad Companies.

Special to the st. Louis Times
WASHINGTON, July A-The recent deci
sion of the interior department in a case
affirming the right of the department to sell
to settlers under the mption law lands
still undisposed of which had been granted
to railroad companies, with provision that
so much of them as renamed unsold at the
end of three years from the time of compile
ton of the road should be subject to entry and
presumption at one dollar and twenty
cents per acre, is of the highest importance.
1t tends to open many million acres of land
to settlement at cheap rates and encourages
western immigration. 1t is likely that much
of the land affected, directly or Indirectly, by
this decision is worth at present little or moth
ing, but on the other hand there are also large
and valuable tracts for which railroad COM
panies have demanded more than ten times
the price at which, under appropriate condi-
tions, they may be now obtained. A question
of interest in this connection is whether these
persons who have bought lands from railroad
companies since the limitation expired can re-
cover the money they have paid in excess of
the one dollar and twenty five cents per acre,
and whether their titles to lands obtained
through railroad companies are good in law

CHICAGO, July 26-The signal service OBJ
server here reports the rainfall last night,
according to the gauge, as over four inches,
the greatest on record here in any one night.
Elsewhere In the northwest, except at Quin-
cy, there seems to have been very much less
ram. The damage to the city, on account of
flooded Easements, cannot be calculated.
Among the heaviest losers are Carson, Pierce
& Co.'S West Side dry goods house. Their
basement was Hooded, and goods reported
damaged thirty to forty thousand dollars; of
this amount ten thousand dollars was on car
pets. The postofice building, which is un-
dergoing repairs, suffered to the extent of
many thousand dollars, the rain coming in
from the roof, drenching the floors and cell
ings, and damaging the stock of postal cards,
blanks, etc. The military headquarters, In
the same building, suffered considerably On
Milwaukee avenue about thirty Easements
are filed with water. The principal
loss there falls on Clement, Sayer & Co.,
clothiers. The T1-ibune's edition was de-
layed two hours by water IN the press-room.
The Grand Pacific engine room was filed
with water, and the Easements on Lake and
South Water streets were overlooked, to the
great damage of poultry and culinary stores.
On Oneida street, east of Armden street, the
water was severaLfeet deep. A strong east
wind was blowing during the entire time of
the storm, from nine o'clock in the morning
in the lake being forced up high on the west
shore, gave no chance for the sewers and
drains to discharge their contents, and as
consequence the water, in many instances,
sought an outlet in the Easements.
