AN EXCITING TIME.

The Steamer Central City and the Excur-
sion Steamer Charles NIorgsn in Collision
on the Misstssippi-The Central City Sunk
But Her Crew saved-Panic Among the,
Excursionists on the Morgan.
ST. Louis, Mo-, July IA.
AS the excursion boat Charles Morgan
was returning to this city from Monte.
sano Springs Saturday night, having on
board the Germania Club, three or four
hundred strong, she met with an unpleas-
ant experience which caused n scene of
the widest confusion on board, and
might have resulted seriously. The Nor
gan was proceeding swiftly up stream,
and about 800 yards in front of her was
the steamer Charles p. Chouteau, like
wise on her return. At Horse
Shoe Bend the Central City, bound for
Memphis, with cargo of -four aud pro-
duce, valued at SIG, 900, under command
of Captain billiard, attempted to pass
between the Chouteau and Morgan, but
in the darkness, Pilot Smith, of the Nor
gan, did not see the Central City, and
the smaller vessel was struck amidships.
Sixteen men were on board, and they
were all rescued by the crew of the Nor
gan just as their boat began to sink.
The cargo of the Central City Is a total
loss. At the time of the collision, which
might have been more serious, the crowd
on the Morgan were dancing a CO.
tillion. When the two boats came
together with crash terri
bic scene of confusion ensued. Many
rushed frantically around the decks, yell
ing and crying. Several ladies tainted,
and the panic was for time uncontrol.
liable. Men and women desperately seized
lfe-preservers and strapped them on.
The crew and officers of the Morgan as
sured the excited crowd that there was
no danger, but they could not be pacitied,
and for several minutes the shrieks and
cries made the coolest of the excur-
sionists tremble. At last, when
it was seen that the Morgan
was not damaged the throng grew
calmer, but the enjoyment of the evening
had all been destroyed by the collision,
and everybody was glad to get back to
the wharf. At a point above the Jeffer-
son Barracks the crew of the Central
City were provided with boats from the
Morgan and went at once to look after
the wreck, and the captain and
mate came up on the Morgan. Cap
tain billiard says that he blew
the whist on his boat, but Pilot
Smith, of the Morgan, protests that he
did not hear it, and it was impossible to
see anything few feet away, because
of the Chouteau being ahead, and the
night was very dark, heavy clouds cover
ing this section of the country after sun
| set. The Captain of the Central City
| lays all the blame at the door of the Nor
gan's officers, and heavy damage suit
| will ensue.

AN AMAZONIAN DEFENSE.

An Ohio Woman Makes Vigorous Defense
of Her Property Against "a Party of Rail-
road Surveyors-Potent Shotgun Argu-
ments-Victory and Spells.
WHEELING W. VA, July IA.
A dispatch from Powhattan, o., states
that the preliminary survey for railroad
through that place has been temporarily
suspended by Mrs. Lavina Warren,
through whose premises the line was to
run. Mrs. Warren, who is well-known
for the alleged killing of her husband,
for which she has only lately been
pardoned from the Penitentiary,
was violently opposed to the
line going through her premises,
and notified the County Commissioners
that she would shoot any of the survey
ing party who trespassed on her land.
Two days ago the surveyors, accom-
panied by County Surveyor Mitchell and
Hon. j. w. Shannon, started the line.
Mrs. Warren procured shotgun and,
as the party reached her fence, took aim
from a clump of bushes at Mr.. Shannon,
who was climbing the fence, and fired.
The charge took off the top of
the gentleman's hat, and he, with the
others Of the party, fled, with Mrs. War
rem in pursuit. She made for Shannon,
and nearing him, fired again. An unseen
ditch upset Shannon, and also saved his
life. He crawled out, mud up the neck,
and fastened to Powhattan, where the
rest of the party had preceded him.
Mrs. Warren has captured the surveying
apparatus, and has them in her posses
session, they not having been called for.

and Heart.
DALLAS, TEX, July IA.
There was most lamentable double
tragedy in the National Hotel Saturday
night in which two of the most prom
inent young men of this city evidently
fought duel to the death. w III. Beale
and Bowie Strange were found lying dead
in room in the third story of the hotel.
Strange was partially dressed and Beale
nearly stripped, showing that they
fought as they were about to retire
for the night. The pistol of each
was lying by his side. Both APP
peared to be shot through the heart, and
curiously, also through the head. The
doors to their suite of rooms were locked,
but were broken open when the pistol
shots were heard. They were de-
voted friends, but are said TO have
had, hard words shortly before the
tragedy, and one was heard to say to the
other: 81 will kill you" The announce
ment of their death has created pro-
found sensation. gentleman who
roomed across the hall from them, testi-
fed at the inquest that he heard them
quarreling several minutes before the
shooting, and both appeared TO be very
angry with each other. Shortly after
wards he heard pistol shots. Rumors
case, but the inquest gave no clew to
such conclusions. So far the bottom
cause of the tragedy Is a mystery.
