The Disaster at Ischia-Cassamfcciola to
 be Covered Over with Lime-Ths Loss
 Now Estimated at Five Thousand.
 NAPLES, July 31.-The extent of Ischia's terrible disaster can be appreciated better than figures can possibly tell it by the fact that the government has decided to cover the whole ground of Cassamicciola with lime to prevent so far as possible the carrying of the seeds of diseRse to the living from the putre- flying bodies which buried cut of sight and beyond all possible hope of recovery fill the air with 8 stench which penstrates across the bay even to the main land, ten miles distant. The sunken district of the once famous bath ing place covers the greater part of two square miles. No one now places the loss of life much below five thousand, and it is be- heved that the figures of the government of- fcials which are being prepared with the greatest care will fully equal that number of those who were originally killed independent ly of such as have died of their injuries, and the greatest accuracy. One remarkable case was reported to day of whole family which was rescued yesterday afternoon by the sap- pers and soldiers after having been literally entombed for over thirty-six hours. Their cries were heard on Sunday morning and nearly day and night of faithful work was devoted to their rescue.
 There have been many American and Eng fish people visiting Ischia during the last forty eight hours, some of them out of curi- osity of course, but many searching for the bodies of relatives and friends. One Amer ican lady has spent many hours and exam ined the faces of all the dead look ing for 8 missing aunt whom she has not been able to find and who is probably buried under some of the sunke ruins of the hotels. The observers on Mount Veonicas report that the volcano is in an &C., tive state and that it may break forth at any time. Should this occur it will be in sympa- thy with the trouble at Ischia and refute their own original explanation that the dis aster was caused by cave and not by an earthnnaka

PENIS SYLVANIA

The Democratic Convention-spsciaI At
 tentiOn to be Given to the Platform.
 HARRISBURG, July 31.-About one-third of the delegates to the Democratic State con- vention are now here and the number is swelling by every arriving train. The hotels already turning away applicants for rooms and the indications look as though the attendance would be larger than usual Hon. Samuel J. Randall arrived this morn ing. Chairman Hensell of the State com. mittee is busy at his headquarters at the Bolton House receiving delegates they come in and report. Attorney General Cas- sidg, Senator Wallace and Hon. Harry Mo Aleer of Huntington, are about the only prominent members of the party yet on the ground outside of the delegates. MT. Ran dall says the leaders will not attempt to handle the convention in making up the ticket, but will devote themselves to the fab rication of the platform, which is to receive more than the usual attention. The appear ance of the AlIeghany delegation with Col onel Polk Duff as candidate for auditor general is conflicting matters. The Phlla- delphia delegation will meet tonight to de- eide upon the candidates which it will sup port and as Philadelphia has sixty eight dele gates the action of it's delegation will have great weight. strong effort Is being made to have it endorse Colonel B. M. Jamison, of Philadelphia, for treasurer. At this time the most popular ticket is ex-Congressmsn Powell, of Bradford, for treasurer, and Gap tain Guss, of Chester, for auditor general Thus far there is nc evidence that combina- tions are being formed.

Attempted Suicide.

A Young Man Takes Rat POisOn-FIe is
 Found in an Open Lot by Four Boys
 Medical Examiner White Called.
 Thomas Dillon, brother of John H. Dillon, grocer on Congress avenue, attempted to commit suicide about 9 o'clock last evening by taking rat poison. He purchased the poi son at Hanover's drug store on West Water street. Dillon was found on a lot in Green wood street near Oak street by four boys Their names were Edwin Kliber, Frederick Goetz, Eugene and Alexander Cassell (two brothers). They notified Officer Connolly, who took Dillon to the house of Robert Me Wicker, No. 43 Greenwood street, where Dillon boarded. Dr. O. V. R. Creed was called and administered the usual poison an tidotes At 11:15 p. m. Dr. M. c. White, the coroner's examining surgeon, was noti- fled and immediately started to make an ex- animation. It is stated that Dillon was dis charged by his brother recently for irregular habits, and another report is that for the same cause his intended refused to have any, thing more to do with him, which led to the act by which he intended to take his own life and which may prove successful.
 Dr. White, who visited the young man, re- ported at midnight that the man took two grains of strychnine. The doctor thinks, however, that he will recover. He left Dr. Reilly in charge of the man.

Irish EmigratiOn-Ths Governments Remedy for the Prevailing Distress
 LONDON, July 31.-Lord Derby, the colon ial secretary, to day gave notice that the government was ready to undertake officially the assistance of Irish emigration to America. During the early part of last May the Cana dian railway companies combined and through Chairman Stephens of the Canadian Pacific railway proposed to the government plan of wholesale Irish emigration. The companies offered to defray all the expense of moving ten thousand Irish families to average five persons each to the neighborhood of Winnipeg, to settle each family comfort ably upon farm fairly equipped for success fully starting with buildings, utensils, live stock and seed, the farm to pass in fee to the family upon the pay ment of $500 secured by mortgage without interest for the first three years at three per cent, after that period the settlers to have the privilege of paying of the principal of the mortgages at anytime, the government to advance to companies one million pounds without interest for ten years, taking their guarantees for security. Sir Alexander l.
 Gault, at the time high commissioner for Canada at London, strongly favored the scheme and it is believed that Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Alexander's successor, also fav- ors it. Earl Dufferin, however, opposes the measure in it's present shape The cabinet at first favorabiy entertained the scheme, but the Catholic priests of Ireland started such a vigorous opposition to the whole thing that Mr. Gladstone to shift the responsibility con- scented to enter into the arrangement provid- ing the dominion government would guaran-
 tee the repayment of the loan.
 When this doubt element was imported into the enterprise the syndicate asked for time to ascertain
 what attitude the Dominion govern ment would take and the cabinet deferred the whole matter for two months. Lord Derby to-day gave notice that the govern ment was convinced that emigration was the true remedy for the poverty at present prev alent in Ireland. and were willing to advance
 e1 ,000, 900 for the purpose of moving ten thousand Irish families, to comprise at least f1ty thousand persons, and set tie them in the American Northwest upon land to become their own in fee as provided for in the railway syndicate's proposal upon condition that the loan until repaid should remain 8 lien upon the emigrants' holdings and the Dominion government guaranteed the payment. Lord Derby further an- nounced that so far the Canadian government had decided to assume the responsibility es- sential to the law, but that the British gov ernment still remained unwilling to make it upon the terms stated or to spend one million pounds in the work of removing fifty mil lion Irish poor to Canada and settling there under the same plan if the Dominion
 government would guarantee the repayment of the money. The negotiations in behalf of the poorer but not pauper farmers will be continued and Lord Derby announced that

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

He'll Gate-The State of the Improve
 ments-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, July 31.-The report of Col onel John Newton for the last fiscal year con- corning the improvement of Hell Gate in New York harbor received to-day shows that during the year operations at Flood Rock have been confined to reducing the roof of the cross galleries to thickness of about ff- teen feet and to drilling the large holes for the final blast. When work was suspended nearly all the roof holes had been drilled During the year the length of the galleries driven was 204.0 .03 linear feet and the quantity of rock removed was 14, ,202.6 cubic yards. Since the commencement of this work the linear feet of heading driven amount to 2O,- 1909 feet and the quantity of rock removed to 70, 347.9 cubic yards. If the appropria- tions asked for for the year ending June 30, 1882, had been granted the roof could have been blown up in September or October, 1883. The estimated amount required for the copletion of the work at Hell Gate Is $7, 963, O29.6 .67. The condition of the im- provement at present is 9 depth of twenty six feet, the breaking up HaAetts Point and the removal of the debris to depth of twenty-six feet.
 
 It is estimated that the public debt state ment for July will show reduction of nearly nine million dollars, this too despite the fact that fifteen millions have been paid ont this month on account of pensions.
 The President to-day appointed Henry Thompson of New York, John l. Davenport of New York and Gerritt H. Smith of Geneva, N. r., commission to examine and report upon fifty miles of completed Northern Pacific railroad in Montana territory. The two ends of the road are now about seventy-ive miles apart.
 The internal revenue bureau to-day re- ceived information of the conviction of person at Marquette, Mich., for selling an alcohol bitters without payment of special tax as liquor dealer. It was proved that the article sold was a compound alcoholic liquor, was Intoxicating and used as bev- craze Dealers in similar compounds in tke United Sta teswiH be vigorously dealt with vnder the ecent ruling of Commissioner Evans.
