DALLAS, October l7.-NOvel proceedings
before the grand jury yesterday have leaked
out. A prominent merchant addressed a
note to County Attorney Clint asking an
audience for himself and O number Of
others at the parlors of one OF the principal
hotel, for the purpose Of discussing Clints
warfare on the gamblers. Clint appointed
an hour, and when the time came marched

the parlor one by one an unmistakable look
OF surprise overcast each usually placid
countenance, and for nearly fifteen minutes
the assenblage resembled meeting OF

Finally Clint invited remarks from citi-

The Naval Academy at Annapolis IL Just
now exercised at the announcement Chat
one Of the cadets Of the first class has been
charged with appropriating to his own use
goods belonging to others. 1t is explained
as pure case of kleptomania. 1t Is known
that for several years past there has been
general complaint among the cadets about
their missing articles of clothing from their
rooms. In many cases tho blame has been
attached to the colorcd employees of the
Academy. These robberies have been Of
such frequent occurrence of late as to cause
extra watch to be kept about the quarters.
Thursday, while the cadets were engaged
with their drills, it is alleged that Cadet
Boman, of Michigan, ransacked the rooms
OF his fellow-students, and was found in his
own room with number of articles in his
possession that did not belong to him. The
articles consisted Of gents furnishing
goods, trinkets, &c. The unfortunate
cadets mind, it is thought, is impaired,
and he was taken to the hospital and put
under medical treatment. Fearing threat
ened violence watch was placed over him.
A package which had been sent to the Bal
timoro & Ohio Express for shipment, aud
supposed to contain some of the stolen ar
ticles, was detained by the naval authori-
ties The unfortunate cadet is member
of the present graduating class, being one
of the star members. He entered the
Naval Academy in 1879, at the age of 16
years and months. There is much SYM
patby felt for him.

Judge Krum's Mysterious Disap.

"A st. Louis dispatch in speaking of ex-Judge
chester II. krum's disappearance from tn at

Thursday, April 26, ostensibly to attendjto
some law business. Since then II has been re-

The London Daily NeirS' correspondent at
Rome says that the Pope is satisfied with
the result of his circular to the Irish bish-
ops, and that he expected it would be re-
ceived with more opposition than has been
shown to it.
Archbishop Croke, in his remarks at
Thurles Thursday said the Pope spoke to
him concerning the menacing state of Eu-
rope, and said he feared that even in Ire
land, which had been great consolation to
him, split Of lawlessness had seized upon
a large section of the people. The arch
bishop said he assured him that there was
no lawlessness in his diocese, aud that no
notable crime had been committed there.
He said all the Pope blamed the Irish peo-
pie for was crimes which both he 1.-THE
Archbishop and his flock had always done
their utmost to denounce. On parting the
Pope gave Archbishop CrolSe his blessings
and assured him of his good wishes. After
the Archbishop had concluded his speech
crowds of people, with bands, paraded
through the streets of the town. Frequent
cheers were given by the paraders for Mr..

Terrible Disaster on the Sacra.
mentO River.

The stern-wheel steamer Pilot blew up
near Lakeville, Cal, yesterday. According
to reports eight persons were killed, seven
wounded and ten missing--most of the lat
ter are probably dead. The names of the
passengers cannot be definitely ascertained,
as no names are recorded at the points of
departure. One family of twelve were on
board bound for Arizona. 1t is thought
many of the passengers who escaped scald-
ing and mangling were drowned, as the
boat sank Immediately after the explosion.
The explosion is attributed to defective
boilers.
Later dispatches state that Mr.. Mathews,
]ate of Sonoma Mountain, on his way to
Arizona, lost four children, and another
will die. His wife is crazy. The most ex-
traordinary incident in connection with
the disaster was the finding of Mrs. George
p. McNear, a passenger, about mile and
a-half from the scene Of the explosion She
was standing in the mud, still alive, but
unconscious. 1t is presumed she struggled
through the mud and weeds for that dis
tance in search of relief She was immedi-
ately removed to Lakevlle, but died few
minutes after arriving.
