SAN Francisco, Jan. 1S.-A Seattle, W.
T., dispatch says the steamer Josephine,

River, having on board a full freight and
20 passengers, blew up this afternoon in
Port Susan Bay, so miles north of this
point. The master, purser, steward, fire.
man and several passengers are reported
lost. There is yet no definite information
as to the cause Of the disaster.
Later intelligence SAYS the explosion oo-
CURED while the passengers were at din
ner. The crown sheet went straight up
through the forward cabin and pilot-house,
carrying Johnson, the man at the wheel,
high into the air, causing his instant
death. Captain Bailey was on the main
deck and was lost. Neither he MOI Purser
Turner were seen after the explosion.
TIL steward and his helper, David Sparks,
were instantly killed while waiting at the
table. kavanaUgh, the fireman, was not
seen afterwards, and was undoubtedly
killed. S. E. Cannon, a commercial trav-
elsr, representing Bates, Reed & Cooley of
New York, was killed. Sam. Rabbit, a
stranger, was also killed. Those injured
were Dennis Lawler, engineer, badly
bruised about the head; Moss Estelle Bra
dish OF Tacoma, thigh broken; Hannah
Price of Skagit, an old lady, ankle iammed
and otherwise hurt; Il. G. Kelley of Ska
git, leg broken. One or two others were
slightly hurt. Sixteen persons on board
escaped uninjured. The boat broke in
two pieces, one sinking and the other float
ing. The Indians and loggers near by res
cued the survivors.
Rich Gravel Deposits Discovered.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1S.-Some months
ago mention was made of an approaching
prospecting expedition being started for
the upper waters of the Yukon River,
Alaska, headed by Edward Schieffelin, a
veteran miner. Information is now re-
ceiyed that 1900 miles up the Yukon
River, at the confluence Of the T~ounanna
River, rich and extensive gravel deposits
were discovered, averaging 81 80 to the
pan. The country is difficult of access,
the Yukon being closed by ice until about
June. while the trip from Sitka is as bad
as a Siberian journey.

being asked concerning the New Orleans
extension Of the Eouthern Pacific, said he
expected excellent business over that
route. They had already applications for
the importation OF negro laborers from the

the vineyards and in the cotton fields that
are being opened in the southern part Of

LOVES POWER.
If were blind, and thou should enter
Fer so softly in the room,
Ishould know it,
I should feel it,
Something subtle would reveal it,
And glory round the centre,
That would tighten up the gloom.
And my heart would surely guideme,
With loves second-sight provide me,
One amid the crowd to find,
If were blind!
If were deaf, and thou hadst spoken
Ere thy presence had known,
should know it,
Ishould feel it,
Something subtle would reveal 1t,
And the seal at once be broken
BY loves liquid undertone.
Deaf to other, stranger voices,
And the worlds discordant noises
Whisper, whereso'er thou art,
Twill reach my heart!
If 1 were dead, and thou shouldst venture
Near the coffin where / lay,
I.should know it,
I should feelit,
Something subtle would reveallt
And no look of mildest censure
Rest upon that face Of clay.
Shouldst thou kiss me, conscience flashes
Of loves fire, through deaths cold ashes
Would give back the cheek its red,
If were dead!

The corpse might have been hidden there
without fear Of discovery until long after
putrefaction had set in. 1t might also have
been concealed under one ofthe plank drain
bridges SO common on country roads. The
place of its discovery proves the crime to
have been unprecedented, and indicates
that it was committed by a person unfa-
miliar with the surroundings.
V.
For more than week, amid the most in
tense popular excitement, the officers OF the
law and cloud of detectives have been
seeking for clues to the murderer, but so far
with small results. The only thing so far
achieved has been to eliminate from the case
the suspicious directed against Norman Am
bier, the dead Woman's divorced husband.
The only facts really known are those print
ed above. Rose Amber left Lewis at 8
o'clock on Sunday night. Her body was
found in the meadow at o'clock next NOR
ming. All the rest is speculation. The de-
tectives have settled down to the belief that
the crime was either done by William Lew
is, the wOman's lover, by an eccentric stran-
ger, whose name is not yet published, but
against whom there is some apparently
strong crcumstantial evidence, or else by
some wandering tramp. The case against
Lewis is, so far as actual facts go, very weak.
The main argument against Lewis is that he
did not want to marry q divorced woman,
and nobody can give any good reason why
he should have come to this conclusion on
so late day. Her divorce from her former
husband was procured on his accOunt-at
his instigation, and, it is asserted, was paid
for in part, at least, with his money. 1t
was procured with the understanding that
he was to marry her at some future time,
and the wedding was soon to have taken
place. In anticipation oft Lewis was build
ing house in which to live, something that
he would hardly have started had he been
in doubt as to whether he would keep his
promise to the woman who had given up
one home at his request and upon his assu-
rance that he would provide her with an
other.
Capt. Clark, Roses father, sailed into
Bridgeport harbor Sunday afternoon in his
fishing smack, the Grace Darling. Horace
Wakelee, Stratford man, told him the
news before he left his boat, and when he
heard - he looked vacantly at Wakelee for
an instant ald murmured: "My God, my
Rose murdered" and then he fell to the
deck in faint. Upon recovering conscious
ness he left his boat and fastened to his

quiescence or in. motion, however slight,
communicates, the tremulous jar of its cur

conditions of such portions of air as are in
contact with different bodies, are all appa-
rently appreciated by the bat. If the eyes
of bat be covered up, or if he be cruelty
deprived Of sight, it will pursue its course
about room with a thousand obstacles in

against wall nor touching the smallest

FRENCH FUNERALs.-The law on relig-
Gus and civil funerals, which has just been
finally voted by the French senate, provides
that the last wishes of every individual as
to what ceremonies shall or shall not be used
when his or her body is laid to rest shall be
fully respected. If the intentions of the
deceased are disputed, the decision rests
with the judge de paiX, from whom an a1p-
peal lies to a higher court and this judg-
ment is final. The last will or other writ
ten testimony shall be the only admissible
evidence, and both courts must decide with
in twenty-four hours. The penal sanctions
of the laws are very stringent; any minis
ter of religion who disobeys the order CT a
court is liable to years imprisonment for
the first offense and to five for the second,
and it is presumed that those who unlaw,-
fully withhold religious rites will be visited
with the same penalties. Civil-that is,
non-religious- funerals have of late great
ly increased in Paris. In April, 1881, the
percentage was seventeen; in April, 1882,
it was twenty-one, and last February, 1t

aaT A bushel of corn weighing fifty-siX
pounds will yield between twenty-eight and
thirty pounds of glucose or grape sugar, and
in adulterating sugar from eighteen to tWen-
ty per cent of the grape sugar is generally
used. In Europe potatoes are generally
used for the manufacture of glucose, and the
manufacturers find larger profits than from
corn. A plant called manioc, native OF
South and Central America, is said to pro-
duce tifty-six pounds Of glucose to the BUSH
ell. AS this plant yields over 800 bushels to
the acre, it is not improbable that manioc
may be the "sugar cane" of the future. The

THE SoUTH.-Thirty years ago the total
value Of the Southern crops of cotton, to-
bacco, rice, hay, hemp and sugar-cane was
39,GO5, ,723. The census report of 1880
shows the Southern farm products were, in
the last census year, valued at S760,0OO,o 600,
one-third of which was the value of the cot
ton product, which remains the great staple
of the South, whose standing in the markets
of the world has not been affected by the
East and West Indian, the Brazilian and the
Egyptian cultivation. Instead of sending
ali the cotton to New England and Old
England, the South to-day is looming up as
the seat of a great cotton manufacturing in
terest, so that the cheaper or coarse grades
of cotton cloth are readily made for home
consumption, and are competing with the
New England mills successfully.
