He then tried to run her ashore, but she sank
in few minutes. As soon as the ship struck
the captain ordered the passengers all ON deck,
but they were all swept Ovcrborrd and drowned
by the heavy seas which swept over her. Two
passengers and five of the crew got into boat
and managed to reach shore. Tie captain, who
was at his post on the bridge when she went
down threw off his boots and coat and took
to the forward rigging, but she rank faster
than he could climb, SO he was obliged
to let himself float, and after considerable
trouble caught the top gallant yard, and chung

Grain freights from Chicago to the
seaboard are at the lowest point ever
known. The fifteen-cent rate per
hundred pounds is for the time being
the regular one, the twelve and a half
cent rate is reported, and is not re-
ceived with incredulity. These rates
barely pay the cost ofhauling, and leave
nothing of interest charges or the low
est conceivable returns for capital actu-
al invested. This is said to be in &C.
cordance with the predictions of twelve
years ago. As suggested with much
torce, that the stock watering and ap-
parent monopoly could be remedied BY
the building of certain lines of state
railways, which, though likely to be
burden to the state, would justify their
cost by the fact that they would fix the
maximum rates beyond which the cor
porate companies would not be able to
go. The forty millions of water" in

Since the Cincinnati riot ono If III

Since the Cincinnati riot, one of the
branches of the Ohio Legislature has
passed law repeating the exemption of
those belonging to military companies
from jury duties in important criminal
cases; reduced the criminals right to
peremporty challenges of the jury from
twenty-three to six, and raised those of
the prosecution from two to four. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette urges
two more-the relief of the Supreme
Court from the revision and reversion of
verdicts; and the reduction of the time
between murtlerer's sentence and his
execution from 100 to thirty days.
The Legislature had already passed a
law prohibiting his intelligence from
dlsbaring man from jury duty; so that,
altogether, it will be observed that the
news from Cincinnati has reached Co.
lumbus.
