ALMOST A DISASTER.
A Steamer Crashes Into Barge Carr
ing Two Thousand People.

Steamer Crashes Into a Barge Carry
ing Two Thousand People.
ASTORIA, IL. July 5.--The coast-steamer
Eleanora, while bound eastward through
He'll Gate this evening collided with the
Walter Sands, one of two barges lashed
together, upon which were between 800
and 1000 men, women and children, in
tow of the tugboat Idlewild 1t is almost
miracle that a terrible disaster and
great loss of life did not follow. For
tunately, however, no one was killed,
though several were injured. Eight OF
those whose injuries are most serious
were taken to the hospital.
Captain Connerton, OF the barge
Walter Sands, says that while passing
through He'll Gale, the Eleanora was
seen steaming to the east. The tug sig
nailed her by whistling twice to keep to
the port side, and the steamer appar-
emily obeyed she signal until about op-
posite the barges. Her bow then sud
denly turned, and in moment crashed
against the side of the barge amidships,
almost throwing the latter on its beam
ends, though it was lashed to the other
barge. In second the rear half OF the
guard rail and the bulwarks of the up
per deck were cut clean away. Along
the rail or bench sets running around
the upper deck, were seated many men,
women and children, upon whom the
broken supports and splinters of the
timbers fell. About twenty persons in
all were injured by these flying
pieces. Had the steamer struck the
barge more squarely there is no telling
what the result would have been. At
the time of the collision the larger por-
ton OF the excursionists were dancing,
and the moment the crash was heard a
scene OF most intense excitement began.
Men ran hither and thither searching
for their wives, children and sweet
hearts, and shouting for life preservers,
while the women screamed and tainted,
and children joined in with chorus OF
cries. The officers of the barge soon
succeeded, however, in restoring order.

NoRrH YAKIMA, Wash, July 5.--An
east-bound Northern Pacific train was
boarded at this place by two men, who
had been noticed by the conductor when
he went to get his time check cashed.
When the train was fifteen miles from
here the conductor asked the men for
their tickets. They stated that they
were railroad men, and placing their
hands into their breast pockets as if to
get credentials, drew revolvers, and COW
ering the conductor and brake
man, relieved them of their COM
bined capital of $12O. When the
train slowed up at crossing
they dropped off and took to the brush.
AS soon as the news reached this city
Sheriff Lesh and large posse started
out and found the robbers in an Indian
camp, about two miles from Semcoe.
Deputy Sheriff Simmons covered the
men with Winchester, and they were
quickly secured. The money was found
in their possession. The captors earned
reward of $3.50, which was offered for
the apprehension of the highwaymen.

Destructive ClOudbursts in West yir-
ginia and New Jersey,
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 5.--The
fourth destructive storm of the week
passed over this locality yesterday,
flooding cellars, damaging streets and
sweeping away crops. A sudden heavy
rainfall deluged the Kanawa and Mus
kingum valleys. An unofficial estimate
places the damages in the Muskingum
valley at half million dollars. Much
of this is to government works for the
improvement of navigation.
MILFORD, N. j., July ga cloudburst
occurred near here this afternoon. The
heavy rainfall continued for two hours
and a half, causing the creek at the east
end of town to overflow it's banks. The
water rushed through town, doing much
damage, and a three-year-old daughter
of William Slater was drowned.

VIoKsBURG, Miss, July 5.-In letter

''That such ppedominance must be
formed on the essential truth of the

entitled to suffrage.
''That the civil and political rights OF
the colored race, as guaranteed by the
constitution of the United States, are
not to be denied or abridged, but pro-
tected.
''Their incapacity must be acknowl-
edged again to the end that their rights
and the rights of the other race may be
protected"

STRONG MEASURES.
France Puts Prohibitive Duties On Corn
and Corn Meal.

PARIS, July 5.-The senate has shown
it's hand plainly in regard to American
questions. After long debate it voted
in favor Of duty Of three francs on corn
and six francs on corn meal. 1t was
distinctly avowed that the duty on corn
was to be considered only continuation
of the policy toward American pork. M.
CARL declared that the importation of
American pork was only another mode
of importing American corn, and French
farmers could not maintain themselves
against it. The prohibition of pork was
right and ought to be maintained, and
the duty on corn should also be made
prohibitive. Millaud called attention
to the fact that American pork is pro-
hibited on the ground Of alleged un-
healthfulness. He declared this merely
a pretext. An article published in the
Temps is to thought to reflect the views
of the government. 1t suggests that it
might be desirable to withdraw the pro-
hibition against pork

Murdered and Robbed.

SARATOGA, July 5.-Fred X. Sheppard,
of New York, was found dead at Round
Lake yesterday. The body was naked,
and it was first supposed that he was
drowned while swimming. An autopsy
showed none of the ordinary evidences
of drowning, but wounds sufficient to
cause death were found upon the head !;
and then it was discovered that his
clothing had been riled of valuable
watch and sum of money. The indi-
cations are that he was murdered on the
shore of the lake and the body stripped
and thrown into the water to give the
appearance of accidental death. Much
excitement prevails.
