By Mr., Higgins who came over from
Missouri yesterday evening we learned the
particulars Of the drowning OF Dir. John
Tanners little boy, johnnie. In company
with a playmate, Johnny, who was about
seven years Of age, repaired to the river to
catch fish. They had been fishing some time
when, about p. NJ they concluded
TO wade in the edge of the water to look
for bait For the distance Of yard or
two from shore the water was very shallow,
then came perpendicular setotf Of fifteen
or twenty feet. Little Johnny stepped over
this set-off and went down. His compan.
ion saw him. but was poweress to help.
The outcries given failed to bring assis,
lance and the little fellow finally disappear
ed TO rise no more. The sad intelligence
was communicated to the father and moth
er, and almost crazed them The
neighbors hearing Of the sad occurrence
repaired 10 the spot and at once commenced
search for the body When Mr., Higgins
left IT had not been recovered. The sor.
row of the parents is said to have been
most intense, both OF them giving way 10
paroSysms Of grict that moved the sympa-
.hics Of the most hardened spectators.

A dispatch has been received from Ha.
vana to the effect that the slaves of Cienful
jos, in Ciencovillas, Cuba, have risen in re.
bellion against the Spanards, and have
joined the patriots, taking with them a
large property. There is great indignation
in Cuba over the massacre of about II off.
GERS who served in the last Cuban revolu.
tion on the patriot side, but have of late
been residents in different places, and fol.
awing their different avocstions. From
their past records they were suspected Of
being in sympathy with the present revolu.
ton. Some were killed in their homes be.
fore their wives and children's eyes by
Spanish troops, and others were taken into
the woods and slaughtered. The captain.
general is causing an investigation, and has
cited governors of Color, Cientuago and
Matonzs to appear before him to explain
the cause of the hutcheries.

A Frightful Calamity.

A three story tenement house, 1913 Gold
street, South Boston, was entirely consumed
by FIRE ON the 18th. The house was occu.
pied principally by Germans, nearly all of
whom were asleep at the time the fire broke
out, the flames making such rapid headway
that before those in the upper stories could
descend, all avenues of escape were cut of.
Mary Huldreth was burned to death. Fer
dinand Mayruth jumped from the roof OF
the burning building and was killed. His
wife, Emily, aged %, jumped from the third
story window with her son. The woman
had leg and arm broken, and was other.
wise injured and the boy was badly hurt in
the spine. The body of man, supposed to
be Christian Fifer, was found in the ruins.
A young woman and two children known
to have been in the house at the time are
missing and are probably burned. The
damage by the burning of the house is about
5000.

The wedding was preceded BY . re-
QUEEN sung for the repoee Of the souls
Of the groom's father and mother, be be-
ing an orphan. A most mournful and
lugubrious introduction to wedding It
seemed. The groom, who IL very rich,

ed waistcoat was of NO common cloth,
but of rich blue velvet, curiously en-
broidered, his sash of blue silk and hia
hat bound with 4 broad silver ribbon.
The unity of his costume Was somewhat
marred by black cloth tr0useTs and q
psir of kid boots Of Parisian make. But
Il the groom was . splendid sight, what
shall l say of the bridef Her dress was
gorgeous. She literally blased With
eold and silver laces and ribbons, q p
9les of al colors, and dlk embr0idS I.

The Rapid Telegraph Company.

The American Rapid" Telegraph
was organized into company in New
York last February, and its whole capt.
tai of $4,000, GOO was all subscribed dur
ing the following month. A simple an
nouncement of its organization in the
New York journals, with the Hon.
Edwin Reed, of Bath Me-, . wealthy
shipping merchant, rs president, the
Hon. Thomas Wallace, of Ansonia,
Conn, one of the largest manufacturers
of the state, as vice president, and .
small board of trustees, of equal wealth
and respectability, is all that the public
has been permitted to know of its busi-
ness purposes. And even now, six
months after this public announcement
of the organization of the company,
nothing is publicly known Of it except
that its own machine shop In New York,
aided BY Colts extensive machine works
at Hartford, Conn, are actively occu.
pied in turning out large number of
novel machines, which are intended to
accomplish $4,000, 10000, and even 80,
600 words per hour-say from 40 to 100
times more than can be telegraphed over
q 800 mile circuit by the Morse system
now in general use. By the employ
ment of engineering skill, with the uss
of Canadian red cedar posts and electro
plated steel wires, the Rapid" COM
pany claim that they can build tele.
graph lines that will rarely, If ever, Be
out of order, and never from storms,
sleet, winds or other atmospheric dis
turbances. Taking al these advantages
into consideration -machinery ~ against
hand work and the saving in mainten-
ance-the American Rapid" company
do not hesitate to state the fact that
when the Washington and Boston line i
opened to the public it will Be possible
for them to do 4 profitable business at
the rate of 10 cents per 100 words, and
20 on at the same rate, without regard
to distance, "a the line extends through.
