New ORLEANS, Nov. 19.-The steamer
s. H. Parisot was destroyed by fire
yesterday at Bullets Bayou, eight
miles above Natchez. The Parisot
left Vicksburg yesterday for New Orleans
with 800 bales of cotton, 1900 sacks OF
oil cakes and 500 barrels oil. The loss is
5000, 900. As soon as the fire was discov-
| cred the steamer WAS headed for the Louis
lana shore. The boat struck a bank, and
lines were put out. Nearly all the passen-
gers rushed to the bank in their night
clothes, carrying other clothing, and aban-
doning all baggage, jewelry and money.
Before the crew got safely off the lines
burned, and the vessel drifted into the
stream. Yall Boring, the second engineer,
stood to his post until surrounded by fire.
Finding that he could do no more, he
jumped into the river and swan ashore. A
portion of the crew was taken off in a yawl.
There was great excitement among them,
and two jumped into the river. One
Phil. Burdbarg was drowned. When the
news of the disaster reached NatcheZ the
steam tug O'Brien started for the scene,
and showed the steamer on a sand bar.
Soon after the powder in the Parisot's
magazine exploded. The steamer City of
Yazoo, of the same line, en- route to Vicks-
burg, took the Parisot's passengers out of
the canebrake and brought them to
Natchez. The origin Of the fire is unknown.
The boat had IS deck passengers, many Of
whom insisted on smoking. 1t is believed
the fire was the result of their careless
ness. 1t is feared hat two or three Of
the deck passengers persisted in the flames.
The boats papers are all lost.
Alarming Aspect of n Strike.
NORWAY, Mich, Nov. 19.-The strike at
the Chaplin mine, Iron Mountain, has
assumed an alarming aspect. Yesterday
the men at ~Ludington, and another large
mine adjoining the Chaplin, turned out
and joined the strikers. A meeting was
held subsequently, and decided to wait ON
the mine superintendent in a body, and
ask them to accede to the demand of the
men. A procession was formed, with q
brass band playing and flags flying. Eight
hundred to a thousand men paraded the
streets. until forced to dispense by the ex-
IRENE cold. The band instruments had
become frozen up. Four hundred malcon-
tents then approached Supt. Stockbridge
of Ludington and requested an answer to
their demands. He refused to yield.
Stockbridge was thrown down, kicked and
knocked around generally, during which
EXPLANATIONS of "Kill him!" "Hang
himl' ETC., were freely uttered. As soon

that they could have anything they want
ed; that they might all go back to work,
and consider their days work done at any
reasonable hour. He was then allowed to
depart. The mob then started in search
of Supt. Coddy of the Chaplin, but he
had been informed that threats had been
made against him, and had taken a hasty
departure. The saloon-keepers of Iron
Mountain all closed their places, and con-
sequently there is no drunkenness. The
local police is powerless to do anything
toward preserving order or quelling any
disturbances that may arise, and it is alto
gether probable that one or more COM
panies Of the State militia will be ordered
out to preserve the peace and protect prop
erty. The county Sheriff has been sent
tor and will arrive tomorrow morning.

Hun. by ~ Mob.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 19.-About
1880 last night a man on horseback slowly
rode to the Jail from the southeast. After
riding around the Courthouse he turned
back and rode rapidly in the direction be
came. In abouta an hour some 800 masked
men rode into town. They hitched their
horses, posted guards to warn away the
citizens, and went to the east door of the
Jail, where they soon found an entrance by
breaking the doors with sledges. They
then quietly, but with great determine
ton, proceeded to break the iron door
leading to the corridor. This took them
some time, in all perhaps half an hour.
Soon, however, the doors gave way under
the skill and labor of the avengers Old
man Melting met them at the door of his
cell, already dressed and ready to go to
his doom. He was quickly walked to a
