The Republican ceunou of Franklin De-
poses the Board of Health While small
pox Stalks at Every Door.
Special to the Sentinel:
FRANKLIN, Ind, May D. Official circles Of
"the grand old party in this city are torn
with dissensions, and elimination and re-
elimination have taken the place of that
brotherly unity which they once loved to
demonstrate. This state of affairs has been
brought about by very sudden and unex-
pected move upon the part of the City Coun-
Gil, the facts of which are as follows: Some
ten days ago the Secretary of the Board of
Health laid in claim of S125 for services
during the past year, and the Council re-
iected the claim and refused to allow any
thing. This was followed by the Council
electing new Secretary. The old Board.
composed entirely of physicians, hold that
this action was unauthorized or at least in
expedient, and that the plea of economy is,
in fact, only & cloak for a little piece of spite
work upon the part of the Council. They
also assert that the old Board is vested with
full powers to act in all matters pertaining
to the city health until their successors are
elected and qualified, thing that has not
yet taken place. One of the leading Repub-
licans of this place said to your correspond
ent Yesterday: This is the last Republican
Council that Franklin will have for some
time to come. / shall help elect Democrat
in my Ward next year." This is but one OF
the many expressions of disapproval that
are heard on every hand, especially as the
prevalence of SMALLPOX in this city makes an
efficient Board of Health indispensable 20
the city's welfare.

Terrific Boiler Explosion.

DETROIT. May 21.-About o'clock this
afternoon terrific boiler explosi on occurred
at the new WOLVERINE paper mill, in the
eastern part of the city. The walls of the
building were blown down, and the shock of
the explosion was felt many blocks away.
William Thompson, the en- gineer, one
armed man, was undoub tedly instantly
killed He leaves a young wife. Peter
Frank, fireman, was so ba dly injured that
he can not live but a few hours. The mill
was new, and erected only few months ago
by the WOLVERINE Car Roofing and Manu-
featuring Company, of which Alex. Delano
is President. 1t cost 100000. The machin-
cry will be partly saved. The loss is esti-
mated between $4,000 and 100000; insur-
ance, $30 200.

FRED DOUGLASS.
The Split Among the COlorsd Politicians

The Split Among the COlored Politicians.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22-Fred Doug
lass has come to the front in defense of
the proposed Colored Convention, of which he
is the leading spirit. In published card he
denounces these colored men who oppose the
Convention in the following vigorous Ian
guage: There traitors and informers
among all oppressed and unfortunate people.
Colored men are not an exception to the rule.
There are those who never do any thing for
the race themselves. bat are ready tosseream
themselves hosrse in opposition when any
thing is attempted by others. am not at
all surprised when some of those
for whom / have lived and la
bored lift their heels against nae. Since the
daysof Moses such hiss been the fate OF all men
earnestly endeavoring to serve the oppressed
and unfortunate. but this infirmity of op-
pressed people, Just now conspicuous in the
opponents OF the proposed National Conven-
ton, will not deter me or those associated
with me, from going forward with the Con-
vention in question. / can see at the bottom
of this opposition only groundless apprehen-
sion on the part of some of our white
friends, and every ambition and energy on
the part of most of the colored men who are
just now gaining little notoriety by assail-
ing the motives of better men than them
selves"
This is to be followed by reply from
Greener, in which doubtless some sharp
things will be said. Fred Douglass is not
the king of all the colored men. There have
been complaints that Douglass has assumed
too much control of the colored people, and
that he has not always used his opportuni-
ties to the best advantage of the whole race
There is political movement unqueshon-
ably behind this petty agitation. The design
of the leaders of the Convention movement
is to have some influence upon the Presiden-
tial cam paign

Judge Krum, of st. Louis, Leaves That Place
for Chicago, but Fails to Show Up.
ST. LOUIS May 22.-Ex-Judge Chester H.
Krum left this city for Chicago on Thursday,
April %, ostensibily TO attend TO some law
business. Since then it has been reported by
his father Judge John NJ. Krum, with whom
he had been in law partnership, that he was
very sick in Chicago, and last wee he stated
his son was at DR.. VIM. a. II ammond's, New
York City being treated for some disease. A
telegram from New York to-day, however,
stated DR.. Hammond had no knowledge
whatever Of Chester Krum. Inquiries
were then made at the latter's residence
and of his father at his law Office, but an
swers were refused. 1t was further stated
that Judge Krum since had acknowledged to
Sheriff Mason, whose legal adviser Judge
Krum, Jr, is that no one was cogEizant of
his sons whereabouts. A few days ago the
Probate Court issued citation on the estate
of Charles w. Ford. of which Chester Krum
is administrator He has failed to make a
report to the Court since July, 1882. He has
also failed to report on the estate of Daniel
w. Bell, of which he is also: administrator.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Krum's
disappearance, II 1t may be
so called, caused much comment
He is one of the best known lawyers in st.
Louis, a prominent Republican, was ap-
pointed United States District Attorney by
President Grant, and was subsequently
elected Judge of the Circuit Court here.
This position be resigned, however, in order
to act as counsel for the defendants in the
celebrated whisky trials Of several years ago.
The whole affair, his disappearance, or sb-
sence, is involved in much mystery and the
reticcnce of his family and friends is re-
garded very singular, to say the least. He
was engaged in several important law suits
here, to attend to which his presence is abso-
lutely necessary. There are ugly rumors that
he has lost several thousand dollars playing
poker lately, but Of this thereiis no direct
evidence. Mr.. Krum is married and has a
large family of children.

Persons Drowned.
CHICAGO, May 21-A storm of extraordia-
ary violence prevailed on Lake Michigan
last night, and number of sailing vessels
bound to this port were wrecked, but the ex-
tent of disasters is only yet partially known.
The chief disaster thus far reported is that of
the two masted schooner, Jenny. Lind"
lumber laden from Muskegon, which made
the harbor south of the city during the night
casting two anchors. Everything was made
clear above decks, but the wind coming from
the northeast drove her toward shore. Her
cable parted, and becoming unmsnageable
she was upset near land about o'clock this
morning The Mate, f. Sample, swan for
the shore and was rescued. John Anderson,
Captain l.. Peterson, A. Helgeson, and a
man named Christianson, sailors, were
drowned.
The schooner MARY Ellen Cook" Captain
Williams, early this morning, bore down on
the outer gov vernment break water, the light
having either been put out by the storm or
through the inability of the lighthouse
keeper to light it, being placed on an ex-
ceDtionally exposed place. The vessel was
driven against the berak water, d,afterward
carried by the waves completely over the OBJ
struction into the river harbor where she
soon water-logged. A tug succeeded in res
cuing the crew, with the exception of
young boy named Frank Miller who, in the
excitement, threw himself overheard and
was drowned.
The schooner "Henry Berger" lnmber-
laden from Ludington, was soon driven
against the break water and wrecked, but the
crew saved.

night, six of the crew of the schooner Petril
deserted the captain, and taking a yawl boat
attempted to reach shore, thinking the
schooner would founder, but she did not.
They had gone but a short ways when the
yawl capsized and three of the crew were
drowned. The others clung TO the bottom of
the boat and were saved. This morning the
captain was picked up off the wreck by a
tug. The schooner Margaret Dali, of Chicago
arrived this morning totally dismasted. The
vessel ashore at Bay View proves TO be the
Sailor Boy. The crew were saved. This,
with the schooner Lille E, which went
ashore on Jones Island, with a crew of seven,
saved completes the list of disasters known
