brick]uyers, who have been at worI, On
Fowjcr's raoIueg house, gave ~ tHcir
job Friday rv,ning, and colcll@ci to @
down the river to- st. Louis. They Goaori-
in4Iy purchased .k;if from Burus, and
put out at about ten O'Clock yesterday
morcing. They embarked from the bank
OF the Kaw, and everything went vel
until the skih struck the eddy made by
The meeting Of the currents OF the Kaw
and the Missouri. In this eddy the skif
capsi22d, but both men clung on for a
while. Finally Watson let 20 and sunk
never coming to the surface again. Hem
messy still had one OF the vaises in his
hand, and, fastening it to his clothing in
.omc way, swan off from the boat and
struck for the shore. As he went down
stream, nearing the shore all the whiln,
he shouted to some men on the bank, "My
partner is drowned, but | can swim as
well us any man in Missouri" He finally
reached dry land Just below Slaycns Il
OOurn's packing house, and opening his
valisc disclosed two bottle, of whisky 10
the little crowd Of men who had gathered
on the hOre.
Parties who were acquainted with the
two men and the .circum tanCeS Of their
departure say they were both drunk. 1t
is also stated that the vaise which WI.
lost when the skiff cgpsi2.d contained
$3.50. Hcnncs,y, at least, was very much
intoxicated, and when he reached the
shore insisted upon treating the little
knot OF men assembled there TO some Of
the contents of the bottles in the vallse
A reporter called at his room, over O Con
ne,l's saloon, on james street, West Kan
sas, hut found that he was still too dunk
to tell anything about the sad accident
A third party, who pretended to know,
said there was but s. in TIE valise which
was lost.
Both parties were married, and Watson
has some houses and lots in Englewood,
near Chicago, where his wife and children
reside. Deceased was about 40 years OF
age. Efforts were made to recover the
body, but up tG Il late hour last night it
had not been found.
Persons acquainted with the eddy where
the skitf was swamped, say that it is a
very dangerous one, and that it is almost
impossible even for skilllul boatmen to
take a skitf through it.

Killed by a Bear.

From the Lendvillc Herald,
Last Friday son of Mr.. Lindsey, of
Red Cliff, started out to hunt deer, large
herd having been seen on the mountain in
the vicinity. He struck the trail Of the
deer and followed them considerable
distance up the mountain, the sign getting
more distinct as he advanced. Feeling
that he was close upon the game, he was
moving cautiously along when the moving
of a large animal in the bushes in his I'M
mediate vicinity attracted his attention,
and thinking that he had come suddenly
upon the game he fired into the bushes,
when, instead of deer, an enormous Gin
anon bear, accompanied by two cubs,
broke cover and was on the unfortunate
Young man in IN instant The first blow
took Lindsey on the top OF the head and
laid the skull bare, the scalp being entire
ly torn off. This blow Frustrated Lindsey,
and then the animal commenced tossing
him about, each blow mutilating HIM hor-
ribly. After the man had been mauled
until he lost Consciousness, the bear left,
and Lindsey's friends came up and took
him away, bearing him to his cabin at Red
Cliff, where he fingered until Sunday
morning, when death ensued. The young
man was universal tavorite, and his un-
timely death is serious blow to his
father and friends in the East.

He stopped his paper; he would not read
Such bluudeling, vi lainous sheet;

He coul hear the news on the street.
Only ten days later he sol 1 his corn;
But he pounded bis head full of dents,
When he learned, after selling for twelve an,

1t was quoted at forty-.wo cents.
And bis farm was sold for taxes, because
He didn't know when they were due;
Aud he bet on n race three days after date,
And he bet on the wrong horse, too.
He was fined nine dollars and seventy cents
For gring ont shooting on Sunday
For he didn't know, with no paper to read,
Whether twas Sunday or Monday.
He came to town, to the Fourth Of July,
But it had bacn over u week,
And he felt so mad that he wanted to cry,
For he didn't know how TO speak.

And he never had heard of Hayes;

And signed for fi' paper again,
And went back home to his wheat and com,

The Star and Herald, Of Panama, Of
July 18Th, has the following: The Chilian
admiral Revcriro has, it is said, aunounc-
el his determination to lombard Lima,
and has notified the diplomatic body to
that effect. The notification also con-
veyed an intimati5n that the Pacific steam
navigation company's steamers would be
permitted to enter Clllao harbor up to the
Sth inst, and receive all foreign families
or women and children who desired to
leave the city. The admiral has already
threatened that Lima, when taken, will
be given to destruction and the ravages
of the Chilian troops, as were Wellenda
and africa, because, as he states, the Chi
lan officers cannot restrain their men.
The PeruVians are preparing to move
their women, children and household val
uables to an asylum at Larml, situated
beyond the impenetrable ramparts of the
Cordilleras. PierleOla has deCreed that
every man between sixteen and sixty years
of age, excepting the clergy and medical
profession, and few employees of govern,
ment offices, has to present himself in
uniform and drill every day from II until
|. To enable the men to do this, all
places of business will be closed from 10
until 2. Those who do not comply with
this order will Immediately be sent to join
the active army. All foreigners are in
vited to form corps to maintain order
and protect property in the event of the
city being lett at any time without the
usual guardians of the peace. No inhab.
liant Of the province Of Lima is allowed
to go beyond its limits without passport.
The archbishop OF Lima has placed the
treasure of the church at the diSpo,al of
the government, to be used in the service
of the country.

tourt en- feet and three inches in length.
The alligator had just killed hog on the

by the negroes until they killed it. 1t
sank in the river, but rose to the surface
on We 'nesdny. 1t took two men and
four boys 10 drag the monster carcass to the
land. The head was over two feet long,

One of the wonders to be seen in this

nary timepiece is eighteen feet high, eight
wide and five deep, and the complicated
mechanism Of its interior defcs descrp-
ton. Years Of constant labor were reces-
sary to complete it. When the clock IS in
operation il shows local time IN hours,
