Drawn Over a Dam and Drowned.

PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-This afternoon
two young gentlemen. accompanied by two
young ladies', all probably under twenty
years of age. engaged row-boat at
one of the lighthouses on the Schuyl-
kill river in Fairmount Park, and
started out for an afternoons pleasure.
They ventured too close to Fairmount
dam, and. owing to a break in the crest of
the structure, which caused an unusually
heavy flow of water, their boat was drawn
over and all four of the occupants were
drowned. The bodies of the two females
were recovered this evening. but have not
been identified. The bodies of the men
have not yet been found, and nothing can
be learned which would establish their

that the so-ealled "Pigs in Clover" scheme
was patented ten or more years ago, and
that when the latest inventor applied for
patent he discovered that it was not OBJ
realized more than 500. 600 of profit before
the game played out. and he was only
brought up with a round turn a short time
ago when the original patentee secured an
injunction restraining him from conduct
ing his business any longer. But by that
time the craze had died out. and the origi-
nal inventor is no better of than he would
have been if he had not discovered that his
patent had been infringed.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Some time ago
the whole United States was excited over
an alleged new puzzle known as Pigs in
Clover" On every street-corner fakirs
were seen selling cardboard boxes with
three concentric circles one inside another,
and four marbles; and every fakir did
rushing business. Pigs in Glover became
an institution in the land, and the SOL
disant inventor realized handsome fort
une in very short time. The internal
machine was scarcely on the market when
inventors sprang up all over the country
with Cows in the Corn" Rats in the
Meal,n mice in the Cheese" and any num-
Der of other similar devices. The Patent
Office application-room was literally over
run with men eager to secure the
protection of the United States for
their inventions. but up to the pres
ent time not a single patent has been
granted All of these toys claimed as orig
inal principles devices which were obsolete
at the beginning of the century. No pat

BUTLER'S CHARGES RENEWED.
He Produces Facts from Official Records to
Prove that Admiral Porter Wasa Coward.

BOSTON, June 23.-The Herald prints to-
day, four-column letter from General But
Ter, in which he produces facts and official
records to prove his charges of cowardice
against Admiral Porter during his siege of
New Orleans, which charges were made in
public speech in this city last May, and
have been the subject of long controversy
between the two principals
THE sole question between myself and
Porter" says General Butler, sis, did he or
his flagship and the rest of the mortar fleet
sail away from the neighborhood of the
forts where they were stationed by Farra-
gut, down to the head of the passes. or out
to sea, and remain there for a considera BILE
time till Porter believed it safe to return to
the fortss"
Admiral Porter has been quoted as saying
that one officer did run away, but that he
would not give his name. There was no
officer who ran away" says Butler, "save
Porter. or those under his orders. i charged
high officer and there was no such one
there who could run away other than Por11
ter himself, SO he well knew whom
meant"
To Porter's statement that he had letter
from Gideon Welles thanking him for his
efforts, and saying that but for his Port
ers) exertiOns, Farragut could not have
captured New Orleans. General Butler says:
TO make Welless letter an answer to the
charge of your running down to the passes
seems very lame defense. First, because
Welles was not there, and did not know
anything about the matter except what
YOU wrote him. Second, because that let
ter was only drawn out by and founded
upon your own false and bOmbastic report,
written and dispatched while you were at
Pilot Town Oh the 18th of April"
this report was written twenty-five miles
down the river, away from the forts. was
concealed from the Secretary, and he quotes
from official reports to prove that this was
the fact. "The fact is," says the General,
that instead of aiding in the capture OF
the city. you were the only obstacle in the
way Of the capture of New Orleans as it
was captured"
After commenting in his caustic manner
upon matters of a personal nature, brought
out in interviews between Admiral Porter
and Washington reporters, General Butler
says: Il fear that l have done for you
what you could not do for yOurself-lm-
mortalized you, for have given your name
to q boasting, vaingloriOus. cumninatory
lie Hereafter forever it shall be called
Porter"
In conclusion he says: II shall never re-
fer to these matters in any future news
paper article, but ! have another incident
in your career which, if my good health
and pleasure still exist, / may feel it my
duty to bring to the attention of the coun-
try in order that the people may learn an
other phase of your character more deeply
dyed with cowardice and falsehood than
the two which have now considered"

Gen. Crook Instructed to Prevent
Trouble in Colorado.

The following telegram was sent this morn

commanding the division of the Missouri, at
Chicago: ''Interior department furnishes Sec
retary OF War following information, taken from

received to that effect:

1t is reported that the Indians are moving
east and that they were seen ut the head Of
Elk Creek, Tuesday. From the reports their
objective point is their old hunting grounds
near the head Of White river. That no step is
taken to head them off and send them back
where they belong is wondered at. As the red
men are not stopped bv the officials private
parties are planning raid on the red maraud-
ers and lively skirmish will ensue.
I'm view Of the above the major general
commanding directs that you take such pre-
cautionary steps as may be deemed proper to
prevent trouble between the Indians and
whites in western Colorado"

NO ACCEPTABLE BIDS.
The Government to Ask for New Propo-
sails for Building Five Steel Cruisers.

Bids were opened at the Navy department.
today for the construction of five steel cruisers,
three OF 1000 tons each and two of 5000 TONS
The proposals issued for these bids, as is the
custom Of late, are divided into four classes:
first, for the vessels complete according to the
departments designs; second, for the vessels
complete on the contractors designs;
third, for the hulls upon the depart
ment's designs and the machinery upon
the contractors designs; and fourth, for
the construction Of the machinery on the
departments plans and the huils on the con-
tractors designs. The 2.00O- ton ships are to be
slightly larger than the Yorktown and the
3,O0O-ton vessels about the size of the Atlanta
and Boston. The former are to exhibit a maxi
mum speed Of at least 1S knots for four con-
secutive hours, with premiums in case Of an
excess and deduction in case Of failure to
attain this speed. The vessels are to be COM
pleted In two years and are not to exceed
800 900 each in cost. II they fail to attain
l67s knots they will be rejected. The prem
iums and deductions range from $4,000 for
the first quarter knot to $4,000 for the fourth
NTH and sixth quarter knots. In the case
OF the 3,000-ton vessels they are required
to- exhibit a speed of 10 knots, with
fixed bonus or deduction, az the case may be,
OF $5O, 600 for each quarter knot variation from
this requirement. In the case Of these ves-
sels limited in cost to 81 100 900 each, there is
no minimum speed fixed below 19 knots as q
condition Of acceptance or rejection. Every
provision is made in the blank contracts to
guard the government against loss, and, profit
ing by past experience, the contractor il made
responsible for the success of the vessels re-
gardless Of minor faults of omission in the de-
signs furnished by the department.
THE BIDS
The Bath iron works of Bath, Me-, offered to
build the three 2.OOOton ships for $3.50 900 each,
with the addition of six months to the two
years. Cramp d Sons Of Philadelphia pro-
posed to build the same vessels at 1876, 900
each.
The same firm offered to build the two 5000
ton vessels for S1,225,000. All Of these bids
were for the first class, to build the ships ac-
cording to the departments plans, both hulls
and machinery.
The bids will have to be rejected, for none
OF them comes within the limits of the appro-
priatons. Besides this the government al
ways requires at least $50, 900 margin for ftting
the ships with boats and other trimmings not
furnished by the contractors. This shows that
contractors are beginning to see that it is risky
business. the building of government vessels,
and are determined to force the appropria-
tions to higher figure. 1t will now be neces-
sary to readvertise for bids, but the chances
are that no better results will be obtained and
in that case it will be necessary to ask Congress
for more money.
