Thus we discover that in drink alone
there is an absolute destruction equal To

ton is complete. The three millions
and nj least rs many more dependent

expense of others while they pcur their

tion is i'm no way diminished 10y dividing
il among Il greater NUMBER. Ii SIX mill
ions spend hall their earnings for drink
there is the same loss of property but
more people share il. perhaps.
The first feeling upon being con-
fron,ed by statistics like the above is
that there must bc a fallacy concealed
in them. The evidence of our senses
assures US that wealth is steadily in

The Awful Responsibility Of Parents A
dicted to lutempcrance.

The Awful Responsibility Of Farcnts Ad-
dicted to lnteMpcr.nce.
Rr. Howe in q repor; on Idiocy made
to the Legislature Of Massachusetts,.
states that: The habits of the parents
of three hundred of the idiots were
learned: and one hundred and forty
five. or nearly one-ha!f. are reported as
known to be habitual d~runkards.
Such parents. it is affirmed. give a weak
and lax constitution to their children.
who are, consequently, 0eticlent in
bodily and vital energy. and prcdis-
posed bc their very organization to have
cravings for alcoholic stimulants; many
of these children are feeble. and live ir-
regularly. Having q lower vitality.
they feel the want of some stimulation.
If they pursue the course of their faith
ers. which they have more temptation
to follow, and less power 10 avoid. than
the children of the temperate. they add
to their hereditary weakness. and in
crease the tendency to diocy in their
constitution-and this they leave to their
children after them. The parents OF
case No. 90 were drunkards. and had
seven idiotic children.
Dr.. Howe concludes that three-fourths
of all IDIOTS are born of incorporate pa
rents. The following, among other
cases mentioned in his report, presents
q painful illustration of these facts:

THE BREAKING OF THE WALKING
BEAM OF A STEAMER
Plays Havoc with the Boat and Spreads
CONSERVATION Among the Passengers
Help at Hand and a Safe
Arrival in Port.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. l7-The pas
senger steamer City of Milwaukee was
lowed in here, Friday afternoon by the
steambarge William Edwards which picked
her up thirty miles off this port at $40
O'Clock in the morning in disabled condi-
ton The Milwaukee's engine Is an almost
complete wreck, and her hull considerably
damaged tine result of break in the walking
beam above the hurricane deck, which let the
piston-rod crush through the hurricane deck,
cabin, and promenade deck to the main
deck for a distance of thirty feet abaft the
engine and Tor a width of six or eight feet.
The accident occurred at the break of day,
and the scene Immediately following was
one never to be forgotten by those who wit
messed it. The boat was enveloped in
steam. The fifty eight passengers, com
prising men, women, and children, rushed
from their rooms in their night
clothes into the cabin. which was
almost in darkness. Some had all
the life-pre'ervers they could carry, All
were screaming; the cries of father, mother
and child were heard. The officers were
soon examining the boat for fire or a hole
in her, while some of the grew were running
out the hose and others standing by the life
boat No fire was discovered nor could il
be seen that the boat was making any wa
ter Then the officers circulated among
the passengers, assuring them that
all danger was passed., but
it was not until the steambarge William
Edwards had come alongside of her in
response to her signal of distress that any
thing like quiet was restored. The Edwards
had passed the Milwaukee but a short time
before he accident, and on hearing signals
of distress let her consorts go under sail foI
Chicago. A heavy sea was running at the
time, the Milwaukee was rolling badly, and
it wai with difficulty that the line was ot
to the Edwards Ii had to be let 90
once, the action of the boat turning heI
wheels and threatening further de truction.
1t was $40 O'Clock when tho Edwards
started with her. All the passengers were
badly scared, and many held to their life
preserverS until TINS port was made. Mrs
AShwood from st Paul, was SO badly
frightensd that her hair tur ned gray.
The breaking of the beam is attributed tC
flaw which is discernible in the iron The
piston went through the top and bottom oi
the cylinder, which was also broken, and
the condenser wrecked. The steam ches
and front of the engine are all that remains
intact The damage is estimated at iron
$l5 900 to $50, 600, and the Milwaukee, wil
probably not be ready for commission AGAR
this season. The damage to the boat in
cludes her furnishing, the carpets having
been cut through and the furnitur,
smashed, including $400 mantle and mir
ror, and the marble-top tables and radiator
are broken in niecas

Cargoes of Money.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. IL The United
States steamship Swatara has been ordered
from New York and the Yantic from Aspin-
wall to New Orleans for the purpose of con-
veying a large amount of silver to Washing
ton. This means is adopted to les en- the
expense of transportation and bring the
cost within the amount appropriated
for the purpose. The steamers
will each take about 81, so. 900, more or
less, according to the instruction of tine
treasury department, and will I've provided
with the boXe' specially constructed for the
conveyance of the silver. The eau e Of thi-
proposed removal is not stated The view
taken by the authorities is probably that the
coin has accumulated here in a larger
quantity than necessary to moot the
demands There is in the mint vaults
about SIS, 900, 900, and less sum in the sub
treasury vaults. One was built in Washing
ton and another in the custom house for this
city. The latter has a capacity Of about
$40, O00 900 and Is not over one-tlArd full
The vaults of the collector and naval officer
will hold something like Sl4. 900, 900, so there
is no lack of room. IL has always been noe
essary to keep & large amount of silver on
hand, as this city is the distributing point
for wide section of the southern country.

sarlonsly Injured .

Nels Larson, grinder at Deere s. Cos.
pillow shop, Moline, met with painful
accident while at work upon an emery
wheel Friday morning. Larson, while
polishing the surface of plow touched
the sharp. edge of the share to the emery
wheel. There probable was some flaw in
the steel. The contact of the two was
sufficient to rip open the surface of the
wheel and broke out piece of the steel,
the latter intlicting the injuries. The vic>
tim was conveyed to his home and medi>
cal attendance summoned. DR.. Piper
made an examination and found the cut
extending from above the eye down along
the nose about four inches in length 1t
is only an eighth of an inch from the eye
ball and there are grave fears of losing
the sight. While cut clear to the bone,
unless excessive Inflammation sets in, no
more serious results are apprehended.
The doctor found some trouble in stop

Costly Accident.

The other night the steamer Belle Mac
passed the city with log raft in
tow The logs were in brals About
twelve miles below Rock Island the raft
went to pieces against an island, and the
logs went floating down the river in
groups and separately. Just above MUS
catine in the morning one William Hager,
man went out with skiff gathered
twentyseven logs, towed them to the
boom of the Muscatine Lumber company,
where he left them. Doe Meaning,
clerk on the Belle Mac, came along with
a crew of oarsmen not long after, went
to the boom and claimed the logs; Hager~
man objected to his taking them, when
Doe threatened to make mince meat of
him if he interfered took the logs in tow
and hurried after the steamer with
them. Hagerman had warrant
issued for the arrest OF Doe
charging him with 'forclbly, with arms
and threats, with taking from possession
of plaintiff twenty pine logs, con-
trary to the statutes of Iowa" The con-
stable overhauled Doe and party four
miles from the city, and babe them go
back IT, Muscatine, which they did. The
matter was settled before a Justice, how
ever, by the paymant of 81 to Hagerman
and the costs of suits. Here is the sec
ton of the code, which regulates payment
for log catching:
As reward for taking up any such
boards, timber, logs, RATS of logs, or any
part thereof, there shall be paid by the
owner to the person taking up the same,
for each log, not exceeding ten, twentys
five cents; for each log exceeding ten and
not exceeding fifty, twenty cents; and
sawed lumber fifty cents per thousand
feet.
The previous section provides that
if the value of such property shall ex.
coed five dollars, and the same be not
Claimed or proven within SIX months after
advertising the same for three successive
weeks in some paper in the county, then
the finder shall deliver the same to the
sheriff of the county who shall proceed
to sell the property at public auction, the
proceeds, after deducting payment to the
person of his legal dues and of the costs,
to be paid into the county treasury.
