Collision on Lake Ontario-SInkingo of a
 Stenmboat-Fortunate Escape of Pas-
 sengers.
 SARN1A, July 13.-Yesterday the steam boat City of St. Catharines came in collision with the American steam barge George A. Marsh of White Rock Point, forty 1.-two miles from here The City of St. Catharines was struck near the bow and went to the bottom in fifteen minutes She had on cargo of general merchandise and five horses, bound for Chicago, all of which were lost. The crew and passengers, numbering fifty, were saved and brought here last night by the tug David W. Rust, which was fortunately close by at the time of the col ision, with two schooners in tow. The up per works of the St. Catharines hoated away from the hull, and the passengers effects were taken of the former by boat from the Rust. The Marsh was so badly damaged that she had to be lowed back to Port Huron by the tug Rust, and she lies there waiting to be docked. The St. Catharines whistled once, the Marsh answered with two whistles; but it was then too late to change her course. It is said that the whistle signals were not given in sufficient time, and gross carelessness in some quarter is charged. The St. Catharines was owned by Mir. St. John, of St. Catha- rines, and was insured.

Singular Death of Wealthy Miller.
 CHICAGO, July 13.-Frederick Thompson a wealthy miller of Wakefield, England, who came to this country in May last to attend the millers' exhibition in Cincinnati, met his death in strange manner at Fox Lake, Wis consin, last Friday. He and friend named Louis Feischer, of Liverpool, England, took a small boat to go out on the lake fishing They had not gone far when Thompson dropped the oars and fell over the side of the boat. Feischer jumped after him. but Thompson being heavy man sank inn mediately, and pulled Feischer with him. As- sistance quickly arrived and Feisoher was rescued and resuscitated with difficulty. Thompson's body was recovered. At the in quest the jury found that Thompson died of heart disease or apople1y, and that probably he was dead when he struck the water. Thompson was a man of wealth, and was prominently identified with milling interests in provinces of England and Ireland He was to have sailed for home Saturday, and intended to return here in the fall and estab- fish branches of his business in the United States He leaves wife and three grown children. His body is here and will be em- balmed and forwarded to his friends.

The Inva,fon of Indian Territory.

WASHINGTON July 13.-Th4 United States troops detailed for the protection of the h. dian Territory from invasion by unauthor- ized persons, do not credit the reports that Paine and his gang have succeeded in eluding their vigilance and gained footing in the territory. However, in order to find out the exact facts, scouts have been sent to hunt up the alleged invaders, and, if found, to capture them and bring them out for trial. It will be remembered that Paine was once captured, and although he could have been tried in the United States courts for violation of the Presidents proclamation, he was released with the understanding that he would in flu ture respect the laws. If he is again caught in the Indian Territory he will be tried, and if convicted will be punished to the extent of the law. It is the intention of the Presi-, dent to enforce the existing laws for the pro- lection of the Indian Territory, and to this end all necessary force will be used The officer in command of the troops on the bor ders of the territory has full instructions on this point.

 GLEN HOUSE, July 13.-The first accident by which any passengers were ever injured on the carriage road from the Glen House to the summit of Mt Washington occurred yesterday afternoon about mile below the Half Way House.

The party noticed, however, on the summit that he had been drinking, and, on starting to come down, the ladies got out of his wagon and walked to the Half Way House, four miles below. Here employe of the road company persuaded them that there were no bad places below there, and, taking their seats again, they were thrown out on the rocks and into the woods while rounding 8 curve too raDidly

The Wheat Yield-FavOrabIe Reports
 Effect of the Recent Storms.
 LA PORTE, Ind, July 13.-The wheat har- vest is nearly completed, 75 per cent. being already secured in good condition. While the average is greater than last year the yield will fall short. Heads are shorter and not as well filled. The crop, however, is bounteous one and the grain of excellent quality.
 FoN DU LAC, Wis, July 13.-Winter wheat in this section, except @ small portion which was winter killed, is nearly ready to cut and promises a large yield on the low lands. Spring wheat is badly rusted, but the yield throughout the country will be up to the usual average. Barley, oats and corn are very fine.
 ELK HORN, July 13.-The universal opinion here regarding winter wheat is that the yield throughout the country will be excellent and of good quality. Reports differ as to the extent of damage to spring wheat. The ex- cessive heat may prevent the head filling out, but it is believed that fully two-thirds of the crop will be harvested and of the average quality. The destruction by blight, rust and bugs travels in spots, and while some farmers lose heavily, others scarcely perceive any damage. Barley is in shock. The yield will De 1ully up to bIf6 average, WILL U6ricy O1 good color. Rye, oats and corn will be good.
 ST. PAUL, Minn-. July 1s.-The heavy rain of Saturday extending all over the State, fol lowed by the frequent showers of Sunday, and those followed by the extreme heat of yesterday, have aggravated the fears very generally entertained of disaster to the wheat crop. The reports differ widely as to the condition of the crop previous to the storm, many claiming stoutly that the damage, ex- cept in few localities, is much less than the reports forwarded to Chicago and the East, and that the State at large promises at least a two-thirds yield Others stoutly hold that with the most favorable weather the least that could be expected was 8 half crop. All agree that the present rains and hot weather must be disastrous to greater or less extent how great cannot be inteligently estimated for some days to come. The mer- cury stood at 92 yesterday. There were showers at night and the weather was slight ly cooler to-day.

The steamer Laura, of this city, came in collision with the schooner James H. Tripp
 yesterday, just after leaving pier 3S with a large load of passengers Fortunately the damage was slight According to the ac- count given by the New York Times, the tide ran so rapidly as she was moving out from the pier that she was almost under the cables of the big bridge before her head could be pointed up the stream. She was getting well under way when the schooner James H. Tripp was observed under her bows, sailing close to the wind. The engines were reversed, but not in time to avert the collision which followed. The stem of the Laura struck the schooner on the starboard
