Of the loss Of the Africa only theories can
be advanced, owing to the lack Of any Ger.
tain knowledge on the subject. Her con.
isignees attributed tito collision with an
other vessel or with ice. The latter Is con-
sidered the more probable, as 1t Is unlike
.ly that two vessels should come in collision
even in midocean aud no trace Of either,
or Of their crews be discovered. At the
time the Africa left, there were number
Iof iceberss reported as having been

the Africa ran into one OF these floating
ice mountains and fotindered with all on

A Murderer Who Fell obliged to Confess
... His Crime. .......

SACRAMENTO, CAL, June 12.-SheriGf
Cunningham, Of San Joaquin county, ar.
rived here yesterday afternoon from Tulare
county with Giovanni Lintine, who stands
indicted in this county for the murder OF
Marguerite Troi, nine miles east OF Gait,
on the night oil February %, 1882. She
was his sisterin.law, so 1t was Understood.
He had been to Gait and returned drunk;
had afight with her husband, Samuel,
about the child Of Lintipe; went away, got
a musket and returned to kill Troi. The
woman opened the door when Lintine
knocked. He Immediately shot and killed
her and then fed. These are the circum-
stances briefly narrated. He was seen
once by the officers OF Gait the next day.
They pursued him, and he fired two
shots at them and escaped. He then
wandered south. Sheriff Cunningham
notified the Tulare officers some time ago
that the murderer was probably in
that county, and made one trip
there 10 see man who had been az
rested on suspicion. Lintine had been
herding sheep IN the mountains Ior several
months, but bis crime seems TO have
weighed upon his mind. One day recently
he went to house, and in conversation
with the people informed them that he
had murdered woman near Stockton
fifteen months ago, and that the Sheriff was

sation aloud clap Of thunder was heard,
and the excited man shouted: "There Is

Army OF Sheritfs. Trembling With terror,
he then ran until he was oyertaken and ar.
rested. He was taken TO Visalia to be ex.
amined for insanity. He soon became
calm, and the Indications Of insanity
passed away. Sheriff Martin concluded
that 1t was Lintine, aud notified Sheriff
Cunningham, who, with the husband Of
the murdered woman arrived there and
identified the prisoner. He now seems
perfectly sane.

LONDON, June 19.-The trial Of the men
concerned in the dynamite conspiracy was
resumed this morning. Thesteward Of the
steamship Parthis, on which DR.. Gallagher,
Bernard Gallagher and Ansbaugh sailed
from New York in March last, was cross
examined by Ansbaugh, who elected that
no more connection apparently existed be-
tween him (Ansbsugh) and either OF the
Gallaghers than between him and the other
passengers. Precautionary measures on ali
elaborate scale are being taken TO prevent
the rescue Of the prisoners while being
conveyed to and from court. Twelve
mounted policemen with drawn swords
surround the van containing the prisoners,
and policemen with revolvers ride Inside
the wagon. The streets were also cleared
TO allow the rapid passage Of the vehicle.

prise aud 5.00O, 900 francs were subscribed.
ofthis sum the Marquis pocketed s.250, 900
francs. II Is stated that 500,0O0 hectares
Of land were sold although the Island only
contains 10000 hectares. The Marquis
had maps Of the Island published in which
were indicated imaginary houses, churches
and roads. He also instituted militia and
gendarmerie forces aud necessary civil
officers. Finally he dispatched to the
Island four old sailing ships with
q number Of emigrants, the majority OF
whom perished under the most miserable
circumstances. On one vessel thirty emf
grants died during the passage. Two hum
dred and fifty more died from hunger aud
disease after reaching Port Breton, and five
others were captured and eaten by the
natives of the Island 0nly 100 unfortu-

over the Back River Talked OF, but Not
y KesolYed ON.

Recently an INTRLLIGENcER reporter
heard a. rumor that the Wheeling & Bel
mont Bridge Company was contemplating
the erection Of u new iron bridge in place
OF the present antiquated wooden structure
over the Back river. He feared the news
was "too good to be true" but yesterday
interviewed Superintendent lawson on tho
subject That gentleman said the company
had ordered new sheet iron roof put on
the present wooden bridge at cost OF
$1,000, and theSwork bad already beeR
commenced by N. A. Haldeman & Co., OF
this city. "Does that look like new
bridget" lie asked.
In answer to further inquiries, he said
the company had recently investigated tho
cost OF new and handsome iron bridge
over the Back river, aud had thought OF
substituting one for the old wooden bridge,
but bad abandoned the idea on account OF
the cost, bridge such Us the company
wonld like to build costing $4,000 or $780,
900.
"Do not be surprised, though" said Mr..
Lawson, "it you hear Of US putting & light
modern bridge over the river from the
upper end Of the Island 10 Martins Ferry.
That's q scheme we have talked OF, and
think there's more in It than in replacing
the Bridgeport bridge with new one. II
would improve property on the North end
OF the Island, make Martins Ferry and
Wheeling next door neighbors, and take
most OF the travel between the Two places,
especially II street railway were run up
there"

. As announced in yesterdays issue, q
meeting Of colored citizens was held last
night in Simpson NJ. E. Church to discuss
the question Of better public school facili-
ties, and take steps looking TO memorable
ing the Board OF Education on the subject.
The information that this movement
originated with Prof. Jones, Principal Of
the colored schools, was incorrect While
not indifferent " the situation, he istaking
no active part in the agitation, wisely
deeming 1t proper that such movement
should come from the colored citizens who
are patrons OF the schools. The subject
has been uppermost in the minds Of the
leading colored men for some time, and
last week 1t was decided to memorabilia
the i Iard OF Education in the matter.
Rev. Robert Hilyard, pastor Of Simpson
Chapel, presided over last nights meeting,
The attendance was not large. but those
who were there showed that they were
thoroughly in earnest. 1t was resolved TO
present u petition for new school house 10
the Board at its next meeting. Remarks
were made by Messrs. g. w. Hol.
linger, II. B. Clemens and others, in which
it transpired that the specific complaints
are that the present school building is
damp aud lily ventilated, and that the re-
suit has been seen in the prevalence among
the colored school children Of diseases
arising from this state OF affair; that 1t is
dangerous, the secoud.Story floor being
entirely inadequate for the support Of the
number OF children who occupy that part
Of the house; that the rooms are 30 small
that there is not seating capacity for nearly
all the pupils. especially in the lower de.
partments; that in wet or cold weather the
house is almos: Inaccessible, and that the
building was condemned as school house
more than score OF years ago, and is now,
as one OF the speakers expressed 1t, "a
veritable death trap" " tau. .'
This certainly makes q strong case, and
the petition is entitled to oweighty considera-.
ton and full investigation with view TO
that action which ID in accordance with
