NINE PERSONS DROWNED.
Unhappy Ending of Sunday Pleasure Trip on
Lake Erie-An UnseawOrthy Yacht.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 1S.-The steam yacht
Leo left the port of Lorain. twenty-eight
miles west of here, for this port, on Sunday
afternoon between 2 and 8 o'clock, having
on board tho following-named gentlemen:
John B. Tunte. i. ID. Lawler, L. p. Ritter.
Benjamin Kline, S. ID. Knight, Capt. Sam
Root, Fred Pelow and an engineer from
Detroit whose name is unknown. Nearly
all of them were prominent and well-known
business men of Lorain. The weather was
fair, and the party of excursionists looked
for pleasant run down to Cleveland, with
the intention of returning by rail in the
evening. The yacht had been purchased on
Wednesday at Detroit for $50. 1t was the
intention of the purchasers, three of whom
were among the party of excursionists, to
use her for pleasure purposes at Lorain.
She was of but seventeen tons
burthen, and was unfit for q heavy sea. A
second object in bringing her here was
to have her undergo inspection at the
hands of the local government inspectors.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon stiff
blow come mp from the westward. and the
yacht was seen to withstand it. off Avon
Point. few miles down. by some fisher
men at work in the neighborhood. The
weather moderated somewhat, and the ex-
cursionists put out again for Cleveland,
and were met short distance east of
Rocky river by Mr.. Dan Peers yacht, Win
nifred, about O'Clock in the evening.
Captain Williams, of the Winnifred. says
he saiuted them and received an answer
with cheers from the party. The weather
was moderating. Afterwards the wind
shifted to the northeast. and it is thought
that with this unfortunate change the
Lorain people lost their lives. The shore
to Rocky river, with the exception of but
one short strip of beach. is a mass of cliffs,
and is very dangerous. Nothing was heard
of the yacht until this morning, when the
bodies of Ritter and Lawler were found by
the Ife-saving crew, floating in the lake.
The remaining bodies are being searched
for. but work is slow and dangerous, on ac-
count of the roughness of Lake Erie.

DO NOT LIKE .BLACKLEGs."

Strikers Demand the Dismissal of Nom Union
Mcn-Protest from Managers.
LONDON, Sept. 1S-Work on many docks
is assuming it's normal aspect, although
there are occasional disturbances. Fewer
non-union men are employed, and many of
the men engaged to fill the places of strikers
assembled outside the Victoria dock this
forenoon and demanded the dismissal of the
men employed during the strike before they
returned to work. The directors of the
company refused to grant the demand. The
men at work are guarded by policemen.
The directors of the dock companies have
sent protest to Cardinal Manning and the
Lord Mayor. pointing out the cases of
violence on the part of the strikers since
the agreement for the settlement of the
strike was arrived at. and stating that
number of the men are refusing to submit
the Cardinal and the Lord Mayor to use
their influence in the interest of peace.
Upon receipt of the protest a confer
ence was held between Cardinal Manning.
the Lord Mayor and the directors of the
dock companies. Cardinal Manning prom
lsed that he would exhort the strikers to
observe their agreement not to mOlest the
"blacklegs" The Lord Mayor said he
would issue proclamation against riotous
demonstrations by the strikers.
This evening the docks presented a buster
appearance than for many years. They
were encountered by an army of vans laden
with export goods. and were not cleared
until midnight.
The Keightly iron-workers' strike has
ended the masters having conceded the de-
mands of the workmen. The striking IRON,
workers of Tredegar and Blaenavon resume
work at an advance of per cent.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1S.-Japanese pa
pers received by the steamer Gaelic to-day
place the total number of persons drowned
in the Hoods of Aug 20, in the city of Wa
kayamo, and in the districts of Minamih-
muro, Highasi-Muro, Nishi-Muro and Pida-
ka, at 10000, and the number of persons re-
ceiving relief at 20, O,424. The river Knokuni
swelled from thirteen t0eighteen feet above
it's normal level, and the embankments and
the village of Iwahashi were washed away.
Immediately the village and about forty
eight other hamlets were covered by the
raging waters.
On the morning of Aug. 10, an enormous
mass of earth fell from the mountain near
the village of Tennokawa, stopped the
course of the river of the same name, and
which being already swollen greatly, sub
merged the village and drowned nearly all
the inhabitants A number of the villagers
belonging to Tsujido took refuge in their
temple, which was on high ground, but
when the land slide occurred about fifty
persons were buried alive.

PAPAL INCONSISTENCY.
Comment Caused by the Action Of the Pope
in Relation to French Politics.

Comment Caused by the Action Of the Pope
in Relation to French Politics.
epecial to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The statement made
by the Rome correspondent of the Chronicle
and confirmed by other press representa-
tives at the Italian capital that the Pope
has solemnly and vigorously protested
against the action of the French Minister
of Justice in excluding the French clergy
from participation in the coming general
elections to the extent of influencing suf-
frages, has aroused good deal of comment
on what is generally regarded as the Vati-
cans refusal to admit that sauce for the
goose may serve for the gander. Concern
ing the protest OF his Holiness promi-
nent politician. himself a Catholic.
Vatican has every thing to gain and
nothing to lose in France, whereas
in America, where the priest McGlynn and
others of his calling and faith were inhib-
tied from active political work, the condi-
tions are reversed. Still, the number of
persons in this country and on the conti-
nent who are unable or unwilling to recon-
ing, and the conviction is strengthening
that the position taken by the pOntiff III
asserting the political rights of the French
clergy must certainly weaken the premises
from which the conclusion of McGlynn'S
culpability was deduced."
The foregoing expression of opinion re-
fleets the sentiments of many others of the
faith, leading them to regret that their
spiritual leaders should have voluntarily
placed themselves in false position, espe-
cially when no good results can be fore
seen from any point of view whatsoever.

REVOLVING CASE OF CRUELTY.
A New York Hod- Carrier Pours Boiling Water
on His Daughter-A Depraved Family.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-One of the most re-
voting cases of cruelty to children, and at
the same time the worst example of drunk
enness and depravity in the police records,
was brought to light from tenement in
this city to-day. Owen Hefferar, hod-
c7vries, was arrested fer assaulting his
daughter Mary Jane, thirteen years of
age. She is in Bellevue Hospital in pre-
carious condition. Besides the father and
mother, there are three children in
the family-Mary Jane. thirteen; John,
seven years, and Julia. eleven months old.
Hefferan had his left leg broken several
weeks ago while at work in Wall street,
and his employer continued his wages. The
greater part of the money was spent in
drink by the father and mother, and so
