PITTSBURGH, July 4.-Intelligence is just
received that the steamer Sciota with an ex-
cursion party on board collided with a tow
boat near Mingo Junction, Ohio. One
hundred persons are reported drowned Tele-
more has yet been heard.
MINeO JUNCTION, o., July 4.-The steamer
Sciota with about 500 passengers collided with
the Jno. Lomars tonight, sinking the Sciota
in fifteen feet OF water, only the pilot house

MINeo JUNCTION, Ohio, July 4.-One OF
the survivors says the Sciota was coming up
the river under full head of steam and when
about half mile from Mingo junction the
John Thomas was sighted coming down. The

The Thomas was only slightly disabled and
went to work at once to save those on board
of The unfortunate Sciota. This task was
rendered easier by the bright Moonlight, and
no doubt many lives were saved from this
reason. It is now believed that the first re-
ports were exaggerated and that loss of lie
will not exceed twenty persons.
Mr.. Arthur McNully, who lives at Cross
creek, was an eye witness to the whole matter
and was standing in his door nearly opposite

THE assassination of Thomas Blake, a
justice of the peace and agent for the
Marquis of Clandicarne, in Galway coun-
ty, near the scene of Burke's assassina-
ton, has had the effect to temporarily in
jure the prospects of the Irish relief
measures now pending in parliament.
Blake is represented as merciless evic-
tor of tenants, but it is sad commentary
on the present condition of affairs in Ire
land that his offense could not be left to
the adjudication of the courts rather than
to the bullet of the assassin.
