And Rutfanly AsSnilant Roughly Handled.
A cOlored man named Charles Stokes was
found by the police about midnight Saturday
night near tho corner of Tenth anl streets
suffering from serious wounds on his head.
Officer Jones took him to the fifth precinct
station, where his injuries were'drrssed. He
stated that ho had boen hit on the head with
stone by some unknown party. Stokes
had j1st left the station on his
way homo under the care Of Officer
Jones, when u bur!y white man
named John Doland, bleeding from a stab
under his lett arm, appeared. Boland accused
Stokes Of assauting aud 5tnbbing him. Stokes,
who had managed to get the sympathy Of
those about the station by his artfu tale, was
put undor arrest. Bolands story was to tho
effect that while standing at the corner Of
Tenth and y streets Stokes brushed against
him in au insolont manner. Boland asked
him what he wanled, and Stokes replied by
striking at him with knife he had
in his hand, iuhcting serious cue
in his side. Boland thcreupon grabbed
Stokes, and lifting him oil his feet threw him
down with such force on the pavement that
he is likely to remain an Invalid for soma
time. Ii Stokes had observed tho huge frame
and muscular build of Boland il Is probable
that ho would have selected some other person
to attempt his uHianly assault upon.

General Dumont, supervising inspector OF
steam vessels, in conversation recently said
that in the year 1851, which was previous Ia
the adoption of the steamboat laws, there
about 100 steamboats, running in tho west
out of which number SiSly.six wero lost with
an aggregate loss of G25 lives,
The general In speaking Of what great ben.
elts had been derived from tho steamboat
law made few comparisons OF the last fiscal
year with like occurrences in 1851. lie stated
that In 1879 there were upward Of 1900 steam
boats running in tho United Safes and not.
withslanding the fact that the boats in 1879
were, on an average, half as largo again as
those running in 1851, at least five times tho
number Of passengers being carried, there were
only nineteen boats lost, but upon nino of
these lives wero lost aggregating III persons.
In illustrating the immense number of pas
sengerI which are carried by steamboats, o
statement has recently been compiled, showing
that tho Pennsylvania railroad forry between
New York and Jersey City curry upward Of
14,O000)0 people annually, lie also said that
in 1851 tho tonnage Of tho steamboats, plying
on tho Hudson river averaged from 1 200 to
1900 tons, while at present it exceeded $500
tons. On the sound tho average tonnage was
/ 400 tons In 1857, while at present II Is about

the hydrostatic test was applied to II large

All Of these tests we're made In inaccessible

To ascertain the truth or to obtain contra
diction Of the reported starvation Of the ma
tivcs OF tho st. Lawrence islands, the Corwin
crossed North Behring sea. Tho inhabitants
had been in u starving condition for two years
Tho first village visited was entirely deserted.
The second, somO miles distant, presented
frshtiul scene OF Gosollton. Not living
being was 10 be seon. Tho dead lay unbured
on the hillsdrs aud in their beds, just us they
had expired. Further westward ut North
Cape similar spectacle was witnessed. At
hist 1t was Thought that there had been an
epidemic, but there Is no doubt that there WAS
sheer starvation, from which from 200 to 800
persons died. Happily whale was caught
and the lives OF tho remnant OF the settlement
were preserved.
