IT is an i'll wind that blows nobody
good. The steamship companies appear
to have struck a good thing. They bring
over assisted emigrants" and the United
States government pays them for carrying
them back. Another steamship brings
over again to another port, whence, in
turn, they are sent back. In this way
the government has paid 81 ,00o, 900. The
law forbids the landing of these unfor-
t~unates, but provides no penalties for
punishment. 1t orders that they be sent
back, which is done at the cost of the
government. We love dearly to encour-
age foreign commerce.

TRIPLE DROWNING.
A Sad Calamity In South Wheeling
Yesterday.
Four Small Boys Thrown Out Of a Flat
Boat and Three Of Them
Drowned.

4 sad calamity befeli, yesterday, in the
lower end Of the Eighth ward, by which
three small boys were drowned. 1t was q
terrible affair, coming as it did directly on
the heels of so many deaths from the same
cause. This month has been extremely
fatal, no less than ten deaths having oc-
CURED already by drowning. Yesterdays
fatality grew out OF using that easily made
but extremely dangerous vessel known as
John boat" 1t is merely scow, with
straight sides and fiat bottom curving up
at either end, and is usually roughly and
clumsilv made and poorly caulked. la
such a boat four lads embarked Yesterday
and only one of them reached the shore
alive.
Harry Humes, George Hslfpenny, George
Steen and Willie Epgelhart, all OF whom
lived on the river bank near Bentons
ferry, boarded John boat, about o'clock
YESTERDAY afternoon, and started out for
cruise. The river at that point IS both
deep and swift and several towboats are
moOred to the bank waiting for q rise:
The boys pulled outside OF the boats and
padded down stream, Engelhart manlpu-
iating the oars. All might have gone we'll,
had not a strip been broken from the bow
Of the boat; but this lowered the gunwale,
and when one of the boys careened the
boat, by moving, it shipped water and i'm
mediately turned over. The boys were
thrown out and at some distance from the
boat. Engelhart managed 10 swim to the
inverted boat and cling to it, but the others
were less fortunate. Struggling for life
and shouting at the top of their voices,
they were borne down stream.
Their shrieks brought people to the
bank and to the outside OF the towboats,
and several skitfs were hurriedly put out
TO assist the now drowning boys. Engle.
hart was picked up and taken ashore, but
one by one the other three sank and were
drowned. Graphing irons were brought,
and after several hours of hard work the
three bodies were recovered and taken TO
their respective homes
An immense crowd of people had
gathered on the bank of the river during
the search, and even before the boys had
disappeared, bur they could do nothing to
save them. EDglehart, the only one saved,
is a carrier boy at the REGISTER office, aud
is known as BLACK Bill" Frank Humes,
Ed. Steen and Mrs. Ann Halfpenny are the
parents OF the drowned boys.
