WlNE-MAKING IN AMERICA.

The Enormous Increase in the Consump-
ton Of This Dangerous Drink.
Wine-making in this country assumes
large and increasing proportions. The
special agent of the census for wines
and grapes, in recent interview with
representative of the New York Sun.
states that there are invested in vine
yards and wine-cellars in the United
States over 1856, 900, 900. There are in
round numbers 400, 900 acres of land in
this country planted to vineyards, of
which 300, 900 were in bearing this year.
This is an increase during the past ten
years of 100000 acres in the vineyard
area, and of over $40, OOO, 900 a year in
the capital invested. California alone
has $50, 900 acres of vineyards, includ-
ing Is, 900 acres of raisin-grapes. It's
| total capital invested in wine-making is
| nearly S78, 900. It is stated that be-
tween 30, 0O0, 900 and 40, 600, 600 gallons of
| wine will be made in the United States
this year, of which California will pro-
duce more than half. It is also stated
that seven-eighths of the grapes of Cal
ifornia go to the wine-press, and that
four-fifths of the grapes grown in all
the rest of the United States are for
table use.
This large and increasing production
of American wines, with the very large
aggregate of capital already invested,
and increasing during the last decade
at the rate of $1o,ooo,oo year, should
suffice to arouse all friends of Temper
ance throughout the land to a full real
ization of the Importance of a genuine
and general revival of total abstinence
Temperance teaching, especially among
the young. With a consumption of
wines, native and foreign, amounting
to nearly gallon a year, and of beer
about twelve gallons, for each of our
81, OOo, 900 of people, there is indeed a
most urgent need of an effective popu-
lar appeal against all beverage use of
intoxicants.-Nation Temperance Ad-

LATER
INDIAN TREACHERY.

Results In . Terrible Fight Between Sol
diers and Big Foot's Band.
WOUNDED KNEE CREEK, S. d., Dec.
treachery resulted in an
awful slaughter of soldiers and red
skins here to-day. Big Foot and his
band had returned from the Bad Lands
and had surrendered. There were $50
war-like bucks, heavily armed, facing
the cavalry that they met last in 1875
on the Little Big Horn. Big Foot adj
vanced from his side and Maj. White
side from the boys in blue.
Big Foot started in for long talk on
how weary he was of running around,
and said he wanted to open his heart to
the chief of the soldiers. Whiteside
was there, however, for business, not
talk, and said that he must surrender
or fight. Like magic up wenta flag
of truce and Big Foot surrendered his
band of over one hundred and fifty war
riors and $50 women and children.
The prisoners were marched over to
tho old camp on Wounded Knee. The
battalion surrounded the Indian camp
and kept vigilant guard over them dur
ing the night. Early this morning Col.
Forsythe ordered all the Indians to
come forward away from the tents.
They came and sat in half-circles un-
til counted. The dismounted troops
were then thrown around them, Com
pany K. Capt. Wallace, and Company
B. Capt. Varnum. The order was then
given to twenty Indians to go and get
their guns. Upon returning it was
seen that only two guns: were had and
q detachment at once began to search
the village, resulting in thirty-eipht
guns being found.
AS this task was about completes the
Indians, surrounded by Companies K
and B, began to move. All Of sudden
they threw their hands to the ground
and began firing rapidly at the troops
not twenty feet away. The troops were
at . great disadvantage, fearing shoot
ing OF their own comrades. The Indian
men, women and children then ran to
the south, the battery firing rapidly as
they ran. =
Some of the mounted troops were AZ
ter them, shooting them down on eyerv
side. The engagement lasted fully an
hour and half. To the south many
took refuge in ravine, from which It
was difficult to dislodge them. It is es-
timated that the soldiers killed and
wounded number about fifty. Just now

AWFUL DISASTERS.

Ice ON tho River Avon Gives Wsx, Throw.
Ing Hundreds Of Skaters Iato the Watsl
-Thtrty or Forty Thought to Have
.l6een Drowned - Two Hundred Lives
Lost " the Burning OF the Chimes
steanesr Shanghai.
LONDON, Dec. s29.-The ice broke Sat.
urday on the river Avon at Portobello
bridge, Warwick. There were thou.
sands OF skaters on the surface at the
time. A panic followed and there was
rush for the shores. Scores of per
sons broke through and were rescued
with much difficulty. Many disappeared
under the ice and were drowned.
The scenes that followed the break
ing OF the ice were agonizing in the ex-
IRENE. In the mad rush for land
scores of the skaters fell and were
crushed by others who followed, not a
few receiving severe injuries in this
way. The screams of the women
and children and the shrieks of the
drowning persons created panic even
among those who were at safe dis
lance from he spot where the ice gave
way, and this added to the horror of
the affair. Some of the unfortunates who
went in the water at the first crash and
who were drowned might have been
saved had there been enough cool heads
among the men who were beyond the
danger point. After the scare had sub
sided somewhat hundreds of skaters
were eager to hasten to the rescue of
their comrades who were struggling
in the water. Planks were procured
and pushed to the edge of the
treacherous ice, and by this means
many lives were saved, although
some of the sufferers may die
from the cold and~exposure to which
they were subjected. One woman in
the water had just reached the end of a
plank when she lost consciousness and
passed away under the ice to be seen no
more. 1t is feared that thirty or forty
were drowned, as large number are
missing. The latest reports state that
seventeen bodies have been recovered.
among them several women.
OVER TWO HUNDRED persisted.
Further advices from China as to the
burning OF the steamship Shanghai near
Woo Hoo. in the Province of Nagan-
Hoei, about fifty miles from Marking,
show that the disaster was much more
serious than at first imagined.
The earlier advices received stated
that the crew, consisting Of about sixty
natives, together with several European
officers, were supposed to have met
death either in the flames or subsequent
ly by drowning, while attempting
to escape from the burning vessel. It
now seems that the number of lives lost
will amount to over 200, and that thew
all lost their lives by drowning. A ter
rible panic, it appears, occurred
among the Chinese passengers and
crew as soon as the alarm of fire
was heard, and the panic increased
terribly when the flames spread beyond
the control of the terror stricken crew.
The few European officers on board the
Shanghai seem to have done their best to
maintain some kind of order among the
Cinnamon, but without result. The
large majority of those who lost their
lives did so by jumping overheard in
order to escape from the flames; others
met their death through the swapping
of the clumsily-lowered and over
crowded hOafS
