full stencil was being emitted from cellar in

procured two living skunks, so that the odor
OF the latter might overcome that of the
former. The coroner has taken charge of all
the remains.

A FATAL COLLISION.
Two Steamers Collide in the English
Channcl->evcntcc Lives Lost.

A terrible collision, attended with serious
loss of lie, has occurred in the English chan
mel. As the screw steamer Brenda of West
Hartlepool, bound from Bassorah to London,
was coming up the channel in the early morn
ing she ran into a paddle steamer-the Dol
phin, of London. Both vessels were seriously
damaged. The captain of the Brenda, finding
the bow OF his vessel was completely crushed
in and that she was making water rapidly,
shaped his course for Dover where he re
ceivcd prompt assistance from Lloyds'
agents, and was enabled to keep his ship
afloat Tho Dolphin did not fare so we'll
As soon as the Brenda had cleared from
her it was found she was sink
ing, and her captain. after ordering
the boats to be got out, headed his vessel
toward the shore, which was several miles
distant The Dolphin had not proceeded far
when she sank. Most of her passengers and
crew escaped in boats and landed at Kings
town, but several persons were drowned.
One of the passengers on the Dolphin, on
being interviewed, said that Immediately
after the collision he found water bus
bling up through the saloon iloor.
Rushing on deck, he informed the cap
tain An attempt was made at once to get
out the boats, but they were dashed so firmly
One at last was launched. In an instant the
men, careless of the five poor women on
board, crowded in and filled it. An
attempt was being made to lower
other boats, when Mr.. Phillips, the
passenger, seeing that the vessel was sink
ing, seized a life buoy just before he was
swept into the waves. Several other passen-
gers had succeeded in getting into the boats,
though there was fearful confusion on board.
When the Dolphin settled and sank the Brenda
steamed away, leaving the victims of her
imprudence to their fate Seventeen of the
Dolphins passengers and crew were missing

AN INSECT PLAGUE.
Whole Districts In Mexico Ravagcd
by GrasshOppers.

To add to the distress of tine fever infected
district of the state Of Vera Cruz, Mexico, it
is learned from wealthy residents OF Vera
Cruz who have fled from that feverstricken
city, that the country is swarmng with
myriads of grasshoppers, which are
devouring the crops and everything
green. They are similar to the Kansas grass
hoppers, but smaller, and sweep the country
of every vestige of yerdure, even to the ten
der shoots of the trees. The bean crop, the
sole reliance of the poor population, is com
pletely destroyed, which will entail great suf'
fering on that class The grasshoppers are
rapidly spreading. They have appeared in
other southern states OF Mexico, and the raw,
ages are reported as equaling those reported
in the state of Vera Cruz

RETAINING THE CUP.
How the American Yacht Beat
her English Contestant.
The Puritan's Double Victory in
the International Race.

After three vexatious postponements,
caused by the lack of wind, and more vex-
atious delay on account of foul, the English
cutter Genesta and the Boston sloop Puritan
found a day when they were enabled to sail
the first of the three international yacht
races for the Americas cup over the course
a distance of about forty miles-in the
time required by the articles of agreement.
There were fair winds and head winds,
light winds and fairly stiff winds, but
there was never any approach to blow.
And in each of these variations the Ameri'
can boat came out ahead. 1t was altogether
a grand day, and in the weather that pre-
vailed the Puritan proved herself an EN-
phatic victor.
The scenes at the point of departure
were identical with those at Sandy
Hook on the mornings when the
race was first attempted, with
the exception that the attend
ant yachts and the excursion boats for sight
seers were not by any means as many as pre-
viously. Still there was a sufficient number
of all kinds of craft to make the scene bril-
liant one, and the more especially as the
stretch of water in the narrows confined them
to closer quarters, and presented more com
pact view than at Sandy Hook.
At half-past ten the two yachts started on
their forty mile race The Puritan took the
lead at the start, and was never reached.
The Puritan crossed the finishing line at
1850, the Genesta following at 30, six
minutes behind the actual time of the race
being Oh Am. 3Js. The Genesta's time allow
ance was Sis.
When the Puritan went over the line a
winner, the din that arose was deafening.
Beside the vessels that had accompanied the
boats over the course, as many more had as
sembled at the finish, and between the Shrek
ing whistles and booming cannons, the
fire crackers, torpedoes, trumpets, drums,
bells, tin-pans and many other utensils
of noise person could not hear
his neighbor shouting in his ear. And it was
kept up for many minutes, while dozens of
boats tried to surround the victor and con-
graduate her owner. The Puritan finally
anchored off Stapleton, Staten Island. When
the Genesta came along she met with a re-
ception fully as enthusiastic, and Sir Richard
Sutton, her owner, was kept bowling right
and left for quarter of All
hour. The cutter was lowed up to Temp.
kinsville by the judges boat, Luckenbach
where it was discovered that her upper cap or
yoke" that holds the topmast in place at
the mainmast head, had been cracked On
this account Sir Richard asked that the sec
ond race be postponed for day, and to this
the Regatta Committee consented.
