THE SEA FOR A CEMETERY.

A suggestion is made by q correspond
ent of French paper that bodies might
with advantage bo buried In the sea,
which he considers to be the natural cem-
etery for the dead. He proposes that fun
sraI boats large enough to contain several
bodies, be periodically despatched from
convenient places on the seashore, and
that the bodies be committed to the deep
at such q distance from the land as will
prevent all possib bility oftheir interfering
with the public heath. The Japanese
seem to lave adopted some sueh system,
for the schooner Parallel, which arrived
at San Francisco on the 23d ult.. reports
that on the 7th of July off the coast about
100 miles north of San Francisco, she fell
in with Japanese junk: There was not =
living person on board, but number OF
corpses were found, some shackled to-
.Yether. They must f ON their appearance
have been dead at least month. Many
of the bodies were dressed In costly
materials. There was no food In the ves-

Mexican Minister, knows nothing of Gen.
Mackenzie's invasion of his country, ex-
cept what he has seen in the papers nor
does he know what the policy of our Gov
ernment is in permitting such violations of
the sovereign rights of Mexico. He does
not think there are just grounds for such
hostile measures and deprecates the course
now being pursued as calculated to en-
danger hostile feeling where none now
exists. He does not think it advisable to
publicly criticise the policy inaugurated
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 19.-General
Ord says no official news has been received
OF the crossing of Mackenzie, but he is in
Mexico all the same. Col. Nuncio has re-
celved instructions to oppose, and as he is a
lighting man, if he can raise force enough
he will make a fight. General Ord refuses
to tell the number of the United States
troops now in Mexico, but it is enough to
whip out any possible force of Mexicans.
General Mackenzie is after Aricol, noted
raider, who raided in Texas last week.
Mackenzie's force is estimated at one thous-
and men, four pieces of artillery and sew
eral gatling guns. 1t is thought that while
Mackenzie is making all this show, Bulls
is silently making his way to the rear and
will strike either Saragossa or Santa Rose.

Powder Magazine Explosion.

NdLlOllh ASSofidleu TItSS W tne DUR
PorrsvILLE, Pa, Aug 10. The stone
powder magazine of the Gate Vein Colliery
containing eight hundred kegs of powder,
was struck by lightning Saturday afternoon
and exploded with horrible results A pic
mic was being held about half mile
away, and the stones and broken fragments
fell among the party. spreading death and
destruction. Several were killed and many
more injured.
A view of the grounds yesterday where
the powder magazine blew up presents a
scene as though the woods had
been cannonaded. The picnic where
so many people were injured
and some killed was held fully half a mile
from the magazine, and the woods that in.
tervene are densely strewn with large limbs
and rowder-begrilned rCcks. Some of the
stones weigh several hundred pounds, and
literally cut trees foot thick down in be-
ing hurled through the air. The Coroner's
inquest was held yesterday and returned a
verdict in accordance with the facts, and
holds no one censurable. The owners of
the other powder magazine, which is in the
same neighborhood, will be notified to re-
move it at once.

LIVELY ROW IN BCCKTOWN.
An Attack on Turnkey George Moore.

Another shooting af'ray, which might
have resulted fatally, occurred shortly after
8 o'clock this morning in Bucktown. Mr..
George Moore, colored, recently appointed
turnkey at Hammond-street Station, while
going to his home, noticed number of
colored men blockading the sidewalk
at the corner of Sixth and Broadway
He told them to clear out, when one
of the men, named Martin REEVES, a laborer,
who lives at the corner of Seventh street
and Broadway, remarked that Moore could
not get him off Moore got into dispute
with the crowd and had TO pull his pistol.
REEVES grabbed it, and after striking
Moore an ugly stroke upon the side OF the
head fed toward Eighth and Culyert streets.
In the meantime he fired two shots, none of
them luckily taking any effect. At the
above-named place he was stopped by Off
GERS Mcfarland Murphy and Burns,
and taken to Hammond-street Station ON
charge of shooting with intent to kill.
Another colored man named Joseph John
son was also taken in for participating in
the affray and telling REEVES to shoot
Moore.
REEVES says that he was in saloon trying
to engage some female help for certain
firm, when Moore interfered and told him
to shut up. He tried to get out
of the officers road, but when the
latter pulled his pistol he grabbed
it, fired and run. During his flight he says
the pistol exploded in his hand. These
were the only shots fired. REEVES does not
deny wounding Moore, but he claims lie did
it in self defense.

Suicide by Hanging.

August Kruse, blacksmith, living on
Peete street, suicided Saturday evening by
hanging himself to the bed-post with sus-
pender Kruse was ffty-three years old,
had lived in Cincinnati twenty-four years,
during which time, by industry, frugalty
and watchfulness, he had managed to save
a large sum of money and at the same time
rear seven children, all of whom are now
living. For some years past deceased has
worked for the Robinson Wagon Company,
on Central avenue. Some time ago he sold
his property and turned all his possessions
into money, which he loaned to parties who
afterward failed and made the loss total to
him. This drove him to drink. One night
he sprained one of his ankles so badly that
he was compelled to lay off from work. This
week he had so far recovered as to be able
soon to return to his tools, when be once
more got drunk, and again sprained his
ankle. While thus laboring under fit of
depression he took his life to rid himself Of
his troubles.
The Coroner held an inquest at 10 o'clock
to-day and rendered a verdict of "Death
from suicide by hanging"

GLOVE CONTEST.
Harry Fellows Whipped by Dicb

A Noisy Excursion and Seventy. three
Lively Rounds.

About o'clock this morning the excur-
sion boat Ellen Mccoy left White Hall, on
the Kentucky shore, with large number
of the sporting men of the three cities She
landed at Newport and took on board
two well-known professional pugilists,
Harry Fellows and Dick Murray,
accompanied by number from that city,
and thence steamed up the Ohio, thewhole
number of excursionists being about three
hundred
To listen but one moment to the con-
versation of those on board will disclose
what is up-a glove contest between Fellows
and Murray. Although quite noisy, the
excursonists seemed inclined to be
peaceful, but at the same time IA
cetious, and it was this facetiousness
that marred the order of the trip 1t con-
sisted in giving what was known as the
"grand bounce" Two men would take
fellow-passenger by the shoulders and

About o'clock the boat made landing

preparations for the contest.
An open field was selected and ring of
twenty-four feet staked off. Eph. Holland
was appointed time-keeper, and Harry Will
son selected as referee.
The men came into the ring looking
fresh and in good humor, Fellows appearing
in rather the better condition of the two
men.
Time was called and the questionable
amusement began, which was ended in one
hour and tifty-fve minutes, seventv-three
rounds having been fought in that time
with varying success.
Fellows was hard hitter. but seemed to
lack the endurance of his opponent, and in
clinch usually fell under.
| During the contest Fellows received some
very severe falls. At one time it was feared
his neck was broken, and on the last round
he seemed to have lost the use of one leg

The inquest upon the body Of Mary Eibel
was continued Saturday, during which the
testimony of several physicians was taken,
who were able to identify Reinking as the
man who had asked them severally for med
icine to produce abortion. Several drug
gists also stated that Reinking had called
upon them for poison that would do its
work quick, after which the statement of
the prisoner was taken.
Squire Schwab, the acting Coroner, states
that the testimony is greatly against the
young man, and if the physicians who are
making an analysis of the girls stomach
find the traces of poison the charge of mur-
der in the first degree will be pretty strong.
