A Mansfield, La, special to the
Standard says that yesterday AFTER
noon at s o'clock, as an engine OF the
Mansfield Tap Road was about s'ar
ting from town for the New Orleans
Pacific Depot, the boiler exploded
with terrible force, instantly killing
three persons and inyuring several
others. The whistle had just blown
for starting, and the explosion tol-
lowed almost simultaneously. Inc
scene that ensued was of the widest
confusion. Citizens rushed from
their stares and houses and gathered
around the wreck, but turned SICK
with horror at the CHASTITY spectacle
Engineer Shackleford lay beside the
remains of his engine, blackened al
J most beyond recognition, and terri
D bly mutilated. A dozen PAGES from
3 him was the corpse of brakeman

fiftv Yards from the engine into Dr

REp CLOUDS cIAInr


 When that noble and interesting savage Red Cloud was in Washington recently, he announced that he was man of sense and wanted cash for the 4.o00 ponies which he claims were taken from him by General Crook and never paid for. He told pitiful story of his wrongs, which, if true, does not reflect much credit upop General Crook and the great and glorious country to whose army he belongs But Red Clouds friends in this city will be pained to know that there is some doubt abont the truth of the astute chieftain's tale.
 Colonel Stanton, chief paymaster of the department of the Platte, who was with Gen eral Crook as chief of scouts in the campaign of 1876, and knows all about Red Cloud, tells story which does not agree with the chiefs. He says that although Red Cloud was ostensibly quiet and loyal, remaining on the reservation after the outbreak of hostiE- ties, he was in fact uneasy, doing no work, sympathizing with the Indians on the war path, and aiding them with supplies and munitions as effectualy as he could. Finally he left the agency, and set out with his band to join the hostiles in the north. General Crook hearing of this sent General McKen- zie, with large force of cavalry, who over took Red Clouds Indians and brought them in. As measure of safety, their ponies were taken from them,-400, not 900 of them,-an they were afterward sold at Laramie, after proper advertisement, and the money received was expended for cattle and supplies useful to tue Indians, but not  serviceable in hostile operations No ponies of any Indians who remained at the agency were taken. Colonel Stanton also says that if the money received for these ponies had been turned into the treasury it would have been long time before the Indians could have had any advantage of it; but that Gen. eral Crook, with the sanction of the proper authorities, made it immediately available for their benefit, and there is no question but that the record of every transaction and the proper vouchers will be found where they should be.
 Ever since Red Cloud failed to respond with astonishment to the efforts that were made in this city to .sstonish him we have thought that he must either be a great man or bad one. But-we are truly grieved to find this testimsngto the effect 1hat he is an unusually healthy liar, and isfseeking to 'tstrike'' the treasury of the pale face How could he do it so soon after his sojourn with the wise, the beautiful, the good and the 'ttovn born" of New Haven?

DisNINa. MARCH 10, 1883.

area is generally an oval which moves
 west to east Its usual rate of progress is
 about twenty-five miles an hour, and of
 course it's direction is easily ascsrtained and
 its advance predicted with substantial &C.,
 curacy.
 The great majority of storms are first
 heard of on the western coast and are SUD-
 posed to be formed in the Pacific Ocean, but
 how and where is not yet known. Some
 storms also appear on the southern coast and move in.ainortheasterly direction. These are supposed to have their origin in the Gulf of Mexico. The velocity of the wind is pre- dicted from the rate of variation in the press ure. If an area of high barometer and another of low barometer are near together the wind will be violent. The atmospheric current rushes from the area of high press ure into that of low pressure like water from hill into valley. It is well to ob- serve in this connection that the velocity of the wind has nothing to do with the rate at which a storm travels. A storm may be stationary and the wind blow at the rate of 8 hundred miles an hour. Advancing storms have an independent motion of their own.
 It will be seen that ths predictions of ssOld Prob" are not speeulations, but are deduc- tions from known facts. It has been for some time supposed that the condition of the sun influences the weather. It is surmised that the spots upon it's disk affect the tenn perature on certain portions of the earth's surface. But the character of solar indu- ence is not yet sufficiently understood to be made the basis of meteorological prediction. This subject is at present being studied by the Signal Service. It also collects statistics from voyagers upon the Gulf and Pacific Ocean to ascertain if possible how and where storms originate. But the Kanuck pro- lessor has got beyond all this. He pretends to make predictions based even upon plan etary influences. At this writing there are no signs of the Wiggins storm unless it be of the tempest that is raging in his breast. Although his predic- lion is the widest speculation. it seems to have frightened the shipping interest to it's damage in an amount estimated at not less than $15O, ,OOO The scare he has occasioned will perhaps be useful to the extent of teach ing oyer-credulous people not to indulge in fears which are not founded upon indications that have been thoroughly tested by meteoro- logical experience. If it does their loss will perhaps turn out to be their gain.
