Fatal Explosion on a Steamer.

FIJI particulars of the explosion of the steam
or ldlion on the Wa'eree river, with an excur-
81 party OF ladies anu gentlemen, show that
tnt disaster was even more terrible than was
Il first supposed. The party took the steamer
at A. NJ, there being twenty-three ladies and
We!ve gentlemen, and thecrew, numbering ten
persons, aboard.
At IL O'clock when the steamer was in mid
stream, the boiler exploded with a loud report.
The entire excursion party were on the deck at
the ime and near the engine-room. the scene
when the smoke OF the explosion died away
begsars description. Men and women were
seen senseless and bleeding upon the torn
deck, others had been thrown into the hold by
the jar, and others were buried under the
broken planks. lhe steamer was almost thrown
over on her side but she righted herself, and
such OF the male passengers and crew as had
not been disabled went manfully to work to
save the wounded and helpless women.
The steamer was headed for shore, and be-
fore she could sink was run into shallow water.
The force of the explosion blew off the entire
upper deck. Many OF the passengers were
thrown into the water, but many more fell back
on the deck, some being seriously hurt and
others only slightly bruised. The captain and
crew did b ave work in saving the lives of
tie unfortunates, and but for their prompt
action the number of victims would have been
treUied.
The saddest feature of the explosion was the
absolute determination of whole family the
Misses Henry, four sisters, who were among
the most loved and popular young ladies in
Richland county. They had been standing on
the deck directly over the b Iiler, and the ex-
plosion spent its full force upon them. The
youngest, Miss Alice was killed n.tantly; Miss
Minnie, the oldest was thrown great distance
into the air, and fell into the water. She was
one OF the first picked up, and died in fifteen
minutes. The third, Miss Jane, was picked up
in he end of the hold, neatly every bone in her
body broken. She lived long enough to muir
mur thanks to the young man who lifted her
mangled body. The fourth a lovely brunette
of eighteen, was 80 scalded as to be almost un-
recognizable.
Mr. Arnold Stiles, middle-aged man, one of
the organizers of the excursion, was killed, his
arms being torn from his body. John jacob
sen and Hiram Tiller colored boat hands,
standing in the rear part of the steamer, were
killed, it is supposed, by falling limbers. Colo
mel James Deshelles and Mr.. Lawrence Adam
son, who were standing near the Misses Hen'y,
were also killed. Three other young ladies
were lost. One of them was to have been mar
Tied on the following Friday. The number of
persons killed or fatally wounded reached
eleven.

A DpSnnradn,s Death.

The death of Jesse James recalls the
death OF another equally desperate ban
dit, 81 Sam Bass, who made the plains
of Western Texas the scene of his ex-
ploits. This noted robber for whose
capture, "dead or alive" a large sum
lad been offered, was finally entrapped
with comrade in the town of Round
Rock, in the summer of 1875, and after
short but bloody struggle, in which
the sheriff of Williamson county and
two of his deputies, as we'll as the COM
panion of the outlaw, were left in the
streets dead and dying, Bass himself
fell from his hurse in the outskirts of
the town, mortally wounded by ball
from Winchester rifle. He was buried
with much "pomp and circumstance "
in the cemetery at Round Rock; songs
were composed and sung in his honor,
and his grave is even now often strewn
with flowers by sympatbizing persons
His gang was broken up, many of his
partners in crime going up into Mis-
souri, and joining Jesse James. Two Of
them, Frank Carter and John Under
wood, have figured conspicuously in
several recent train robberies.

A Moscow dispatch states that Koboseff
Bogdanowitsch recently submitted TO the

Kremlin palace with electric light. Inquiries

intention was TO blow up the whole Kremlin dur
ing the festivities attending the coronation of
the czar. At the mans residence there we're
found a number of peasants caps, the crowns
of which were filled with explosive material. IL

be thrown into the air in greeting to the czar,
