STRUCK ON A ROCK.
The Revenue Cutter Mclean Tears Big
Hole in Her Side.

Hole in Her Side.
KEY WEST, FLA, Aug 9.-The revenue
cutter Mclean arrived here to-day, having
on board Chief Officer Boyd, of the Morgan
line steamer El Dorado He left his
vessel on Wednesday and was making
his way to Key West in a small
boat when picked up by the Nc
Lean. He reports that on the
trip from New York to New Orleans, the
El Dorado at midnight Tuesday struck an
unknown rock, bearing west southwest of
Hen and Chickens shoals, Great Bahama
banks, tearing large hole in her port side
Her forward compartment filled rapily, 1t
was found necessary to beach her She now
lies - miles west of the Isaacs in five
fathoms of water.
Mr.. Boyd, who left the Ell Dorado on
"Wednesday afternoon, reports that the YES
sci is resting easy, but In dangerous local
ity in bad weather. If the weather con-
tinues good she will be saved. Assistance
has been telegrsphed for to New York, and
the Mclean will leave for the scene of
the wreck this afternoon, taking provisions
for the crew of the wrecked vessel and
divers pumps and material for closing
the leak. By direction of the Secretary of
the Treasury all assistance possible will be
given the FL Dorado by the Mclean When
Boyd left the fire and engine rooms remained
free of water, and if the bulkhead remains
intact it will, he says, be of much assistance.
If rough weather comes on it will be neees-
sary to fill the after compartments SO as to
have the vessel rest on the bottom easily.
Captain Bryne and crew remain by the
vessel. No lives were lost.

been known to result therefrom. The
aborigines of America praeticed sepulture,
and 1t has been estimated that, in the Mon.
ongahela Valley, for instance, the burials OF
Indians exceeded the number reached by
the whites since, and yet no question has
ever been raised about the longevity of the
Indian race. The pure water supplies OF
our American cities are cited as iilustrac
tions of how little there is in the claim OF
pollution from cemetery drainage.
In addition to this, DIR. VanF Foorhls, Ior
the opponents to cremation, claimed that no
advantages had been satisfactorily shown by
the experiments at the LeMoyEe furnace.
On the other hand, it was proven there that
twenty-nine thirtieths of the human body
is composed of material that will evaperate
during the process of incineration and pass
into the air. 1t was charged that this was
absolutely dangerous to the health OF the
community about the erematory, especially
in the eases of contagious diseases
IN ITS OWN DEFENsE.
The above claim was made in 1881. In
1885 Prof T.. r. Baker, Ph. D., of the Mil
lersville State Normal School, Pennsyl-
vania collected 80 jars of gasses arising
from the chimney of the Lancaster crema-
tory while human body was being ineiner-
ated, and after a careful ANALYSIS Of the
gasses he announces no deleterious effects
need necessarily be felt by the surrounding
localities
This claim was also disproyed in the ease
of Undertaken II. H. Samson's crematory,
on Sixth avenue, in Pittsburg. At the first
incineration there, committee of fthe Board
of Health was present and went up on the
roof to test the quality of smoke and gases.
They pronounced it quite harmless, and
since then there has been no more ill-heaith
on Sixth avenue than usual.

CRIMINALS BREAK JAIL.

They Dig Through a Hole and File the
Lock of the Yard Gates.
HoLLIDAVsBURG, Aug. "a bold and sue.
cessful Jail delivery took place here at an
early hour yesterday morning. James
Welsh, awaiting trial for a daring highway
robbery, and Frank Waite, awaiting trial for
an assault on little girl, were imprisoned
in a cell on the upper tier.
They wrenched bars off their iron cots, and
with them dug large hole through three
foot stone wall, and with q rope made out of
their bedclothes dropped 20 feet to the yard
below. Then with a file, which had been
furnished to them in the jail by friends, they
filed the lock of the yard gates and made
good their escape. There is a liberal reward
offered for their arrest. This is the third es-
cape inside of two years from the same cell.

They Have Eaten a Good Deal of the Crop
and Are Ready for More.
FINDLAY, Aug. 9.-The grasshoppers are
doing more harm in this part of the State to-
day than they were known to before for years.
Ia many parts of the country they swarm in
myriads, and literally devour everything be-
fore them, causing serious damage to all
growing crops. Reports from different Sec
tions state that they have eaten mp and en-
tirely destroyed the clover seed crop, and
are foraging on the pastures to such an ex-
tent as to make the feed problem for the
stock a serious one to the farmers,
They are also causing serious annoyance
in the wheat fields, where they gather in
such great numbers they actually cut the
twine that binds the sheaVes and cause the
shocks to fall in confusion, making it diff
cult to handle. They are also invading the
corn fields and eating the leaves off the
stocks and husks from the ears. New tur-
nips are disappearing and the hoppers are
turning their attention to young fruit trees
and are rapidly stripping them of their
leaves

THERE WAS FIRE IN THE BUNKERs.
A Steamer Crowded With Passengers Mar
rovly Escapes Destruction.

NEW York. Aug 9.-The steamship
Cachemiere arrived in this port last Friday
evening with 160 italian steerage passen-
gers on board, 1t was learned to-day for the
first time that for 10 of the IS days of the
Cachemieres voyage the vessel and all on
board of her were in imminent and continu-
Gus danger of the gravest character. When
the steamer was but one day out from Mar
seilles it WAS reported to the captain that
the soft coal in the bunkers was on fire. He
at once gave orders that the strictest secrecy
should be observed, as, if the news spread
among the passengers it would be impossi-
BILE to avert q panic.
Immediate steps were taken to quench
the fire. but it had already gained a serious
headway, The pumps were put to work
and heavy streams of water were poured
upon the piles of coal and upon the deck
above it. This was kept up for day and
night for ten days and not till the end of
that time was fire entirely extinguished
The Captain and crew were completely
worn out. During the whole time none of
the passengers had any suspicion of the
danger in which the stood, nor did the learn
of it until port had been reached.

The buttons were of the same sort as worn
by Frenchmen at Quebec, while the bones
indicated that deceased WAS n man of
powerful stature. Then, beside the bones,
there was found the head of stone toma-
hawk, and old residents say the silent tale
told by the remains indicate that the man
had fallen in Indian warfare, as that portion
of Lawrence county was at one time in
habited by Huron Indians. A gentleman Of
