A River Disaster.

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. Yesterday
morning the boiler of the steamer j. S.
Robinson exploded and Captain George S.
Warner, Fireman Cleary and Richard Van
ZanG were instantly killed, and Fred Sin
clair, William Durand and Melville Ryan
seriously injured. At the time of the explo-
sion The boat lay at the foot Of Waterloo
street. Captain Robinson, of the Hattie M.
Belts, was blown from the pilotrhouse on
his boat to the wharf, and escaped I'M
harmed. Young Van Zandt, who is one of
the killed, was on board of his fathers tug,
the Cora, which lay alongside the doomed
steamer.
The Belts, which lay at the stern of the
Robinson, is damaged one thousand dollars.
The Cora, which lay alongside is a total
wreck, and the G. P. Grout, lying ahead Of
the Robinson, had her joiner work carried
away and machinery damaged. The Robin
son sank Immediately, carrying with it
the body of Cleary, the fireman.
One section of the boiler. weighing two
or three tons, was hurled four hundred feet
against the top story of three-story build
ing, crushing in a portion of the WALL An
other section, weighing nearly a ton,
crushed in the roof of the coal barge E. M.
Downing, and still another section was
hurled to the rear, grazing the cabin of the
coal boat Apollo and tearing away the roof
before it fell into the river. Buildings were
shaken, windows shattered and general con-
sternation prevailed in the vicinity. The
exploded boiler was built by Robert Livings-
ton, Of this city in 1882.

Resolutions Adopted by the National
COlOred Convention.

The National Convention of Colored Men
recently in session at Louisville, KY, con.
cluded its labors by the adoption of the fol.
lowing resolutions:
The National Convention of Colored men
respectfully present the following as embrao.
ing and representing their views and senti
mentS:
/. That we are grateful for and rejoice in
the miraculous emancipation that came to
our race twenty years ago: The shock of EN-.
battled arms was the lullaby of the Nation
born in day. We don't, we can't, forget the
great sacrifice of the women and the heroic
men who made possible the struggle in which
treason and slavery were CONSIGNED to com
mon sepulcher. If we did we would be I'M
mindful of the measure of devotion and pat
rtotism that the white and colored soldiers
rendered the Nation.
2. We are not insensible to the fact that the
Congress of the United States has spread upon
the statute books many laws calculated to
make us secure in our rights as citizens; nor
would we be forgetful of the magnificent
amendments to the Constitution intended to
render forever impossible the crime of human
slavery.
3. We do not ask any more class legislation.
We had enough of thiS but we do believe
that many of the laws intended to securefus
our ghts as American citizens are nothing
more than dead letters. In the Southern
States almost without exception, the colored
people are denied Justice In the courts, de4
MED the fruit of their honest labor, defraud-
ed OF their political rights at the ballot-box
smut out from learning trades, cheated OHtfQI
their civil rights by innkeepers aud common
carrier companies and left by States to an in
adequate opportunity for education and gen.
eral Improvement.
4. We regard labor ont the question of edu-
cation and moral training as paramount to
all other questions. We believe that the ques-
ton, especially in the South, needs recasting,
and that plantation credits and the mortgage
system should be abolished. Honest labor
should be remunerated. The landholders
of the South should recognize that this
question is to be solved by encouraging the
negroes to industry, frugality, and bust
ness habits, by melting them to habits of
thrift, by assisting them to acquire an inter-
est in the soil, by paying them honest wages
for honest work, and by making them con-
tented and happy in the land of their nativ-
lty. The white men and owners of the soil of
the South can settle the question of labor
and capital between white and black. We
believe in a broad and comprehensive system,
looking toward the education of young colored
girls so that they may become intelligent and
faithful women, and that young colored boys
may learn trades and become useful men and
good citizens. The religious and moral train
ing of the youth of our race should not be
neglected. The hope of every people is adj
herence to sound social and ethical princi-
pies The moral element in the character is
of greater value than wealth or education,
and this must be fostered by the family and
encouraged by the pulpit.

The African Slave Trade.

An officer on board the sailing
schooner Usadine. Lieutenant and Com
mander Henry McA. Cutfeld. employed
in suppressing the slave trade in Mo-
zambique Channel, writing under date
July 16, says:
We are having lively time, | can
assure you, with 103 poor, miserable,
half-starved wretches on board, eighty
of them women and children, and for
the most part children from eighteen
months to ten years old, and one only
four days old The dhow that they
came to Johanna in was sixty-three
tons, so they were packed like sardines.
She was caught by our boat that was
left behind for ninety-six days, and [
am sorry to say one of our poor fellows
died of fever in her. These slaves were
kidnapped about two hundred miles
south of Mozambique, brought down to
the coast, and shipped off to Johanna
as a speculation, as the sugar crop is
Just coming on. Some of the children
have been taken care of by the women.
Two little chaps the men look after are
housed in q biscuit box, and they cry
Justify if taken out of it. They eat all
day and nearly all night. One old
woman became insane after she was
taken out of the dhow, and she has a
baby with her. The poor old woman is
tied down to prevent her going over
board in a fit, of which she has had
several. Every morning all are stripped
and the fire-hose played on them indis-
criminately, and don't they want it!
The smell is something too bad to be
talked about. Luckily we have beau
tiful weather this trip, and strong,
fair wind. Some would be certain to
die if we had spell of bad weather, as
we have only the upper deck for them
to lie on. The night we took them on
on board they were so cramped and
weak that only about twenty could
walk. The rest were passed in one
after the other, and then slowed in
rows for he night. One hundred and
twenty pounds of rice, treacle and sweet
potatoes were cooked at once. When
they saw it they went hands and feet
into it, and fought and bit, and each did
everything that could be done to get a
little more than another. 1t was really
most distressing sight. We should,
think, capture three times as many if
we had some more boats and steam
cutter, as there is not shadow of
doubt that large numbers are run here
every year, and espe oially about this
time.-PaU Mall Gazette.

An Explosion on Lake Erie.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. lat eight
o'clock Saturday night the starboard boiler
of the Commercial Line propeller Colorado
exploded about six miles above here. The
boat left the Lackawanna dock half hour
before for Chicago. Captain c. NJ Fellows
was on the watch and was standing in front
of the pilot-house. The force of the explo-
sion expended itself upward, and all the
upper works aft of the cabin were demoI-
ished. 1t is impossible to tell just how
badly the propeller is damaged. The tug
Mary Griffin was in the lake within quar-
ter of mile of the boat when the disaster
occurred. She went to her and called an
other tug. TIE Griffin towed her into the
Lackawanna Slip, and help was sent for.
AS soon as an examination could be made
1t was found that the explosion had resulted
in the loss of several lives and terrible
injury. A porter named Daniel Ellis could
not be found, and was undoubtedly thrown
off the boat. A deck hand named James
Farrell is also missing. He shipped at
Chicago on the Colorado's last trip down.
Thomas Lowell, first engineer, and Alexan-
der Rushlow, second engineer, who were in
the englne-rOom, were DaQly nurb ana
scalded. Henry Allen, deck-hand, was so
terribly burned and injured that he died
just after being removed from the boat
Patrick RanseT, Eenry Ackert, Fred Smith
and Christian Rudolph, all deGk-hands,
were injured, some of them very severely.
These deck-hands were on the upper deck
at the time engaged in hauling up the fend-
eTs. w. H. Cabot, mate, who

A Mountain Alligator.

William Blackheath, who has justre
turned from a siX-monts' soiOurn in
Arizona, has brought to the Comstock
the skin of what he, fer want of a bet
ter name, calls ella monster, but
which is evidently that of q saurian of
different species. The skin now
measures seven feet from tip to tip, and
it has evidently shrunk some inches in
drying. Though about the color of an
ordinary ella monster, the reptile is
evidently kind of inland crocodile, or
more properly, cayman, as it had not
the webbed feet of the crocodile.
The strange saurian was found in q
small valley in the Wheatstone Noun
tains. When alive it stood two feet high,
and its body, just back of its fore-legs,
was over three feet in circumference. The
creature was as savage as a bulldog,
and as full of fight as viper. 1t was
found by the dogs of Mr.. Blackheath
and partner. When the men arrived at
the haunt of the reptile-to which they
were attracted by the fierce and pecul-
lar barking of their dogs, three in num-
ber-they found that one dog had al
ready been killed and the others were
badly cut up and covered with blood.
The creature displayed such activity
and was so diabolically vicious that the
two prospectors feared to go near it,
being armed with nothing better than
prospecting pick and shovel with a
short handle.
Finally the thing got one of the dogs
by the foreleg, and finding that it held
on like terrier, with no sign of loosing
its hold, Mr.. Blackheath ran forward
and struck his pick into its head. Even
then the reptile held on, and it was not
until it had been struck several blows
with the pole of the pick that its jaws
relaxed and it gave up the ghost.
When the dog was released it was
found that his foreleg had been broken
at point about two inches above the
knee.
Mr. Blackheath says he has met with
several of the creatures known as ella
monsters that were two feet and two
and half feetin length, butnever before
or since saw, or even suspected the eX-
istence of one so large as that whose
skin he possesses. 1t was surprise to
all the white men in that section, but
some of the Indians asserted that far
south in the Sierra Madre Mountains
they had seen some that were as large
or larger.
Unfortunately, in faying the saurian.
Mr.. Blackheath's only idea was to have
the hide tanned and made into boots
and CATERS, therefore he did not pre-
serve the feet, otherwise the skin might
be stuffed and mounted by taxiderm-
list. He says the teeth of the creature
were over an inch in length, were sharp
as needles, and in shape resembled the
teeth of shark.

efforts to suppress incompetence. At the
conclusion of this testimony the committee
adjourned sine die.
