DETROIT, July 23d.-In an interview
Father Bleyenhurg states that just prior to
the collision most of the boys were in the
cabin. He was sitting with the older mem
bers of the party, and they noticed steamer
coming down the river. The Garland and the
Fortune (another steamer) seemed to him not
very far apart, and coming very rapidly.

it, yet it seemed TO me"-and the Father
made significant pause, as though he thought
they were racing. lie went on to say that he
did not dream of collision; in fact, he had
Just said to Miss Dussean, who was sitting
beside him, that it was picturesque and
sxhilarating sight to see a steamer plow
through the water such bright moonlight
night, when he saw the Garland suddenly
loom up larger, and instantly OWNED with
horror that collision was imminent. The
Mamie whistled soon after and the Garland
piled, but bore down directly on the
zSgiie yacht, crushing it as if it had
sssen an egg-shell, fairly cutting it in two
ssUidships. At the moment he had seen the
slis collision was unavoidable he had
shouted 20 his friends aud the children to
''Come to the front" Some of them did so.
Miss Dussean followed him. AT the same
time he felt the boat give way beneath him.
He caught hold Of rope on the Garland,
and the young lady did the same Somebody
on board the steamer pulled her aboard and
he climbed the rope unaided. The four boys
who were saved crawled out of the cabin win

the water, and they were picked up by the
lifeboat of the Garland, which was immedi-
sstely lowered; but some who might have
been saved were he fears, drowned by the
sweu or run down by the Fortune, which

THE OUTLOOK IN INDIANA.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 23d.-Reports are cir.
culated that Landers, the Democratic nomi.
nee for Governor, will resign. 1t is certain
that he is very unpopular in the southern
part of the State, and not at all popular in
the north but it is altogether unlikely that
he contemplates resigning. If he does,
neither he nor his friends have given any
sign. Landers and all the Democratic orators
will speak in different parts of the State ON
the 14th of August. The Nationals claim
that they will wage a furious campaign, and
expect to draw heavily from the Democrats,
especially in view of the rejection of De La
Alatyr by the Democratic Congressional Con-
vention. De La Matyr, who is canvassing
in Alabama, says the Nationals will defeat
the Democrats in that State, if there is fair
vote.
