Buried in the Debris.

News is received from Greenwich, Ohio,
of the horrible death of Ernst Allyn, a
young man about % years old. He
has for some time been employed as fore
man and engineer in the grist and saw mill
operated by Harvey & Griffin, of Green
wich. Saturday evening the mill had shut
down, and Allyn was making preparat ons
to clean out the boiler There were 1876
pounds of steam on and the water was very
low. He set the pumps at work, but as
soon as the cold water struck the boiler
there was q tremendous explosion. One
end of the mill was blown to pieces, and
fragments Of iron and wood were carried
seventy-tiye rods. Allyn was found al
most buried beneath bricks and timber.
He lived but a few minutes after being
taken out

Education of Deaf Nfutcs.

President I. NJ. Gallaudet, of the Ma
tional Deaf Mute College, will soon sail fol-
England, TO be the guest of the British
Government, for the purpose of explaining
the methods Of instruction of the deaf and
dumb in this country. The invitation was
received short time ago through Sil
Lionel West, the British Minister, and the
Department of State, and was readily ac-
copied by DR.. Gallaudet when he had been
granted the necessary leave of absence bv
the authorities of the college over which he
presides. This action on the part of the
British Government is regarded as an evil
dence of appreciation of the successful
system of instructing deaf mutes in this
country, as we'll of the eminent qunlfica-
tons of DR.. Gallaudet. The National Deaf
Mute College at Kendall Green, near
Washington, which was founded by him, is
the only institution Of the kind in the
world.

Terrible Steamboat Exn,os,on

The steamer La Mascotte, bond from
Grand Tower, ILL.,, to Cape Girardeau,
Mo-, exploded her boiler opposite Neeley's
Landing, and burned to the waters edge,
and foated nearly mile to Wizards Land
ing, where she lodged ashore. Reports of
the accident are very meager, ind full list
of the killed and wounded cannot be OBJ
tanned. The tow-boat Eagle was within
sight Of the La Mascotte when the explo-
sion took place, and rendered valuable as
sistance, rescuing all who were left alive.
The Eagle took thirty-fve persons to Cape
Girardeau. No list of the Passengers could
be obtained, as the register was lost, and
the excitement was so intense among the
survivors and officers that no onecould tell
who was on board. 1t is estimated that
about twenty lives were lost, among whom
We're the following: Judge Haser and wife.
Mrs. kneigher and daughter, Christ
Kneigher, VIM. II. Wheeler and two chill
dren, Fritz Lard, all of Cape Girardeau;
Charles Ansel (colored), two chamber
maids, and an unknown lady with two
children. The bodies of the last three and
one Of the chambermaids were recovered
and taken to Cape Girardeau on the Eagle.
j. r. Perkins, first clerk; Miss Julia Ra-
bich, of Cape Girardeau, and First Engi-
neer Porter are supposed to be lost.

CrOn PrOSDcctS.

The following crop summary appeared
in last weeks issue Of the farmers Re-
r1cw: The crop returns for the week. in a
general way, show that corn is Well ma
turcd throughout the entire Western belt.
and sufficiently SO to Withstand the heavy
frosts of the last three days of the week.
In Missouri and Kentucky the corn is
ready for husking and cribbing. In Iowa
and Illinois husking will begin about Oct.
10. The reports showing the average
yield do not vary but slightly from the
former estimates, which are considerably
under those OF the preceding five years. In
fifteen Illinois counties four report 90
bushels to the acre, five report 25 bushels,
three 80 bushels, and one 60 bushels. In
Wessington Springs herald. (Wessington Springs, Aurora County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1891, 1886-10-15

thirteen counties OF Iowa one reports ~
bushels, three IL bushels. two 20 blsheis,
four Is bushels, one 40 bushels. and two
As bushels. The average continues eooa
for Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, and low
in Wisconsin. Missouri and Kansas. Plow-
ing for the fail sowing of wheat is progress
sing, and in many portions OF lil'ho's'
Missouri, Kansas and Kentucky is com
pleted. and some seeding has been done.
The wheat movement in Dakota is now
light, great deal of wheat already having
been marketed. The ruling prices are oo
to So cents per bushel. The movement is
slow in Minnesota at 65 to G3 cents. In
Illinois very little wheat is being sold, with
prices GO TO rs cents. In Iowa the
wheat movement is fair at so to
GO certs. Considerable wheat is being
marketed in Ohio at 65 to rs cents. In
Missouri the wheat movement has fallen
off, with ruling prices so to y cents. In
Kansas there is scarcely any wheat moving,
with prices so to 10 cents. In Michigan
wheat is freely marketed at 60 to IS cents.
In Wisconsin there is fair movement at
g. TO rs cents. The tenor of the reports
shows that hogs generally are healthy, with
somewhat lighter run than usual, while
cattle are looking better with improved
paStoratra

Experiments III suear.Makns

Last year the Department of Agriculture
began to experiment in q small way at Of
tawa, Kan, with the diffusion sugar. MAX
ing process, as applied to sorghum cane
Instead of crushing the cane, as in the
sugar cane process, it was shaved off in
minute slices, and the sucrose, or sugar.
yielding sap, extracted by streams of wa
ter. The results obtained were so encour-
aging that the field OF operations was re-
moved to Fort Scott this year, and, with a
largely-increased plant, experiments are
now IN progress on :. scale of some mngni-
tude. A few days ago, telegram was re-
ceived by Prof. Wiley, chemist of the de-
.partment, who is in charge of the work,
announcing the complete success of the ex-
perments. The telegram states that syrup
has been obtained from sorghum cane of IA
light color, good flavor, and crystalizine
well. There was complete extraction of
sucrose III six of the cells of the battery.
Commissioner Colman is very much elated
at the results Of the experiments, and re-
CARDS them as of great value from an econ
onncal point of view. In the process now
used in the South there is loss of nearly
80 per cent. OF the saccharine matter con-
tanned i'll cane, while the experiments at
Fort Scott show an absolute extraction OF
all the sugar,

Gen. Miles Renort.

Gen. Miles annual report cmbodying the
story of the surrender of Geronimo has
been received by the Acting Secretary of
War. Gen. Miles, it is said, reports that
he accepted the surrender of the savage
chleftain. agreeing as among the conditions
that he should not be surrendered to the
civil authorities Of Arizona for trial, and
that he should be taken away from that
vicinity. The report shows that Geronimo
and his companions We're not captured, but
surrendered conditionally. He ecknow
lodges that he promised the hostiles that
they should not be turned over to the civil
authorities Of Arizona, and that their lives
should be spared by removing them from
the country Immediately. This accounts
for Gen. Miles failure to obey the instruc
tons of the War Department TO confne the
hostiles at the nearest post.

The surrender OF Geronimo

WASHINGTON, Oct. At is stated Off
cialy at the war department that nothing
has been determined upon in regard to the
surrender Of Geronimo, and that the depart
ment is still lacking information upon
which to base any action. Gen. Miles has
defenders among the authorities, as we'll as
critics, and it is urged in justification of his
course that it is better to have possession
Of the Indians, even if the opportunity of
making an example of them to deter others
from following in their footsteps be lost
than to permit them TO 60 on indefinitely
in their course of murder and destruction.
The surrender and cessation of hostilities
is said to be a sad blow to certain class of
