Loss of the Propeller Java.

Monday forenoon the TRIBUNE receiv-
ed the following telegram from Macki-
nav City: 1.-The propeller Java sank at
$50 yesterday Sunday morhing fl
Point Saublc. Lake Michigan. Total
loss. Starboard coupling broke. Crew
all saved; they passed here this morning
OH the steam barge Charles Kershaw
going to Detroit" -
The cause of the disaster, as generally
understood, was the breaking of the
shaft a short distance from the wheel,
thus opening her stern so that. nothing
could be done to stay the flow of water.
That the entire crew escaped is matter
of congratulation. Going down in such
deep water us the steamer did, of COURSE
she and her cargo are total losses.
From the Chicago Intcr.Ocean we learn
that the cargo consisted OF 1900 barrels
of salt, consigned 10 Elk;ns & Wheeler OI
Chicago. and iiu-:.sel!l Il, the Orient Mu-
tual foi $5,G5G. There was also ON board
sixty tons OF fine merchandise consigned
10 +. L. Pope, of Chicago, and 200 tons
of finc merchandise, consigned to Mil
waukee; twenty-five tons of parlOr stove:
consigned 10 Sherman S. Jewett, of Chi
cago. and 81 800 worth of household fur
| niture consigned to Chicago party no
named. besides sundrics. The Traders In
suraEce Company have $4,000 OH mer
chandise, but most ofthe other stuff i
probably uninsured,
The Java was iron, and came out il
1873. having cost 100000. She, as tn
other boats just like her. was built b,
King & Owens. of Buffalo. (And tb
builtiing of these boats burst Messrs Kin;
& Owens). She measured 1850 tons

the present disaster at 500. 100 She is i'm
sured for $4,000 i'm the 1Etna, Phoenix
Manhattan, Orient Lamar, andother com
panies.
The Java had been unlucky from tn
first day she came out. This is explain
ell by The "crOakers':. who say she Wa
launched OIL Friday. But as it happen
she was not launched on Friday. II vii
be remembered that the Java sank Cap

that she sank herself by striking tn

entered and robbei of about forty dollars
in cash. Father Van Genip went away
on the st. Paul Tuesday and returned on
the Marine City yesterday and it was on
his return that the robbery was discov-
cred, Suspicion rested upon a::young man
named Butler. a painter by trade, and
who had been working at re-painting
the church, and young man named
Smiley, employed as a cook upon the tug
Bismarck. They were accordingly ar
rested and We understand smiley has
confessed. The robbery was committed
Tuesday night, and alter securing the
money it appears they visited the
slaughter House. where they made a
display of their ill-gOtten wealth, which
act caused them to be suspicionel when
the burglary became known, Sheriff Pa
quette furnished lodging for both in the
county hotel last night.

How TO KEEP A PIANO.

The Advice of one Who Knows all
About that Everlasting Instrument.
Otto Drumming in journal de Musique.
The piano is constructed almost ex-
clusively of various kinds of woods and
metals cloth, skin, and felt also being
used in the mechanical portion. From
this reason atmospheric changes have a
great effect on the quality and durabili-
ty of the instrument, and it is necessary
to protect it from all external influence
which might effect the materials of
which it is composed. 1t must be shad-
ed from the sun, kept out of the draught,
and, above all, guarded against sudden
changes of temperature. The latter is a
most frequent cause of the piano getting
out of tune, and the instrument should
be kept in a temperature not lower than
fifty-four degrees, and not higher than
eighty-six Fahrenheit; when too cold,
the wood, cloth and skin swell, and the
mechanism works badly; when too warm
these materials shrink, and produce
clicking, squealIing, and other disagree
able sounds. Moisture is the greatest
enemy of the piano, and it cannot be too
carefully guarded against. In a very
short time damp will destroy every good
point about the instrument. The tone
becomes dull and flat, the wires rusty
and easily broken, the joints of the
mechanism stiff, and the hammers do
not strike with precision, and if these
symptoms are not attended to at once,
the piano is irretrievably spoiled. There
fore, do not put your piano in damp,
ground floor room, or between two win
dOws, or between the door and the win
dow where there is through draught.
Never leave the piano open when not in
use, and above all when the room is be
ing cleaned. Do not put it near a stove
chimney or hot air pipes. Always wipe
the keys after playing. Never pile
books, music, or other heavy things on
the top. Be careful when using the soft
pedal, do not thump the notes. Do not
allow five-nOte or other exercise of small
compass on piano you have any re
gard for. A leather cover should be
kept on the instrument when not in use
and removed every day for the purpose
| of busting. A cushion of wadding or {
strip of flannel laid on the keys will
help to keep them white and preserve the
polish. Never leave the piano open at
ter musical evening or dance. If you
are obliged to have it in a damp room
do not place it against the wall, anC
raise it from the floor by means of insu
lators, and always cover it after playing
Employ the best tuner you can get, anC
if a new instrument, let it be timed eve
| ry two months during the first year, anC
at least three times a year afterward
Always have it tuned after soiree
the room has been very hot.

fastest HORSE IN THE WORLD.

The Wonderful Performance of Rarus.
The buzz among the vast audience
when Rarus was brought out, early in
the afternoon, for his trial of speed, was
so marked as to show this was the great
event of the day, and that which had
drawn together so enormous an assemb-
lage. The horse looked grandly, never
finer, and Splan handled the ribbons
with the air of one who knew he had an
Incompatible trotter before him. No
runner accompanied him, his grand cour-
age being relied upon for the accom-
plishment of the great feat before him.
After liberal warming up, he was sent
on his journey, and trotted the mile
without a skip. He was not hurried at
the start, going to the quarter pole in
3411Ss., a 2:18 gait; from there to the
half he was sent very fast, making the
secon quarter in 32As., 2:11 gait; and
reaching the half in OH, rate of
2;1415; the third quarter was trotted in
3324s., the horse passing the three-quarter
pole in Al, and he came home a little
easier, finishing the mile in 2:15 This
was fast enough for the first trial, and
the crowd subsidized with a satisfied ex-
preston, and in the expectation of some
to the second trial of Rarus, Edwin For
rest had been given an exhibition mile
in 2:141S, and Splan appeared with
blood in his eye, bound to beat that or
perish After one dash at speed down
the homestretch, Rarus received the
word, and this time did his level best.
The quarter pole was passed in 3318s., a
2 IA gait, and full second faster than
the first trial; the second quarter was
accomplished in 33s., and the half reach
ed in :O61E, rate of 2:13 to the mile;
the third quarter was slower, requiring
says, and the three-quarter pole passed,
as before, in Al; but this comparative
ly easy gait enabled the horse to make
the grandest of finishes, he trOtting the
last quarter in 321<s., rate of 2:10, and
making the full mile in the unprecedent-
ed time, as matter of record, of 2:131<.
When this time was announced, and 1t
was known that 2:14 had at last been
erased from the head of the record,
without any bubble or doubt, the most
tremendous cheers rent the air, and peo-
pie went wild with excitement. The
third trial was scarcely less brilliant.
The rate for the first half mile was lit
tie slower, the quarter being passed In
3416s-, and the half in OK, but the
last half was clipper, the horse going
TO the three-quarter pole for the third
time in Al. and coming home in 2 :i3M,
trotting the last half of a third heat IN
:O6A. Taken throughout, the per
Torrance was so much more stupendous
than any ever achieved before as to stag
