A Tug Lost.

VICTORIA, B. c., December l6.-The
officers of the steamer Idaho, which ar.
rived here yesterday state that as the
steamer was leaving the Columbia river
they were witnesses to remarkable
casualty. For several days a storm
ragged on the Oregon coast, rendering
more dangerous than usual the naviga'
tion of the Columbia river. The Idaho
for this reason had delayed her depart
ure for two days. A rough sea was rum
ming outside the bar and enormous
waves were rolling over it. When near
the mouth the tug Champion, of Port.
land, was seen steaming out to sea. She
had met and successfully ridden two
immense waves which rolled in, and
faced third, which, larger and more
terrific, came toward the bar. The tug
was seen to enter the wall of water, but
when she was looked for beyond the
crest of the wave she was not there.
She had been engulfed in the sea, and
sank with all on board. The Idaho was
too far off to render assistance, so quick
did it all happen.

wretched Life IF a Miiiionairc's Wifc-Suit
For Divorce.
New YORK, May 22.-Robert L. Nc
Bride the wealthy tea merchant who re-
sides at goo Fifth avenue, was married in
January, 1888, to the daughter OF Charles
NJ. Bomeister, the wealthy wine merchant.
Now she has sued him in the Supreme
Court for a limited divorce for cruelty.
The case was up before Judge Donohue to-
day, upon All application for aiinony and
counsel fees Mrs. Mcbride charges that
since their marriage her husband, though
he supplied her with horses and CARRIAGES,
iewclry worth thousands of dollars, and
every luxury, made her life miserable
by his ungovernatla temper. lie once
pointed a pistol ut her, saying he might
some day kill her and that
he had once shot at his sister. She says
that he is 'sly drinker,' and that while
drunk he has many times struck and beaten
her shamefuly. Though she was in deli
cate health she declares he has abused her
openly i'm the presence of her parents. 1t
was asserted in her behalf that Mcbride
owns rs tea stores. from which he derives
yearly an income of 100000. In oppO-
sit;on to the motion Mcbride averrcd that
his wife, melted by her father, had desel a
him. although he treated her well, and that
his income this year will not be over $50
600. Decision was reserved.

Papier.Mache Collins.

Some one not long since invented a
papier-mache coffin. Among the ad-
vantages claimed for it was its close re-
semblance to wood, its lightness,
waterproof quality and incombusti-
bility, though why tits latter quality
should recommend the new casket is
not apparent. The paper casket has
been patented, but has not been put
upon the market Iron and bronze
caskets have been for some in favor,
ard recently marble Baskets have come
in. They are practically indestructi-
bic, being made of composition OF
powdered marble dust and Portland
cement, and moulded and baked like
pottery. A certain peculiar post
mortem vanity has found qualification
in transparent glass collins, but hard
wood is still more used than any other
material, and for all practical purposes
it is, doubtless, as satisfactory as any
thing else. On the score of health
fulness, indeed, the less durable the
casket the better for the surviving popu-
lation of the earth. -IndianapOlis Senti-
