THE SINKING OF A STEAMER.
Advices from Yokohama give further
particulars of the sinking of the steamer
Tamaye Maru and the drowning of 260
passengers. The Tamaye Maru and an
other steamer, Myoshi Maru, were rae
ing, when the latter steered across the
Tamaye's course, and the vessels col
lided. The Tamaye Maru sank imme-
diateiy, and only about sixty people,
who were on deck, were rescued.
THE CHINESE RIOTS.
Advices from Hongkong up to July
18th, state that the fire of discomfort is
still smouldering in North China, and
occasionly riots are reported. Mission
stations near Canton are said to have
been attacked, but no particulars have
been learned. Two of the Wusich
rioters on trial voluntarily confessed
that they murdered two foreigners,
Green and Agent Calp, during the
Wusich riots. The two prisoners were
accordingly sent back to the Kuang Chi
district and executed July 9Th. Their
heads are hung up at Wusich as warn
ing to other evil-doers.
A correspondent at Tsing- Kiang, un-
der date of June 9th, writes that
the viceroy wrote to the officials
there that the residences of for
eigners should be searched to see
if they had any babies or dead
peoples bodies about. The Presbyte-
rian mission was searched by an official
while crowd of excited natives waited
outside. A mob broke into the Catholic
mission, but were put out by the ocu-
| pants, Mr.. Chalfant holding the rioters
at bay with revolver. The authorities
Efnally sent the military to the scene,
and the soldiers guarded the mission all
night. gsN
On July 4th news came by telegraph
from the southern part of the province
of serious rioting. In this section
Catholics had large property interests,
many fine churches and large orphan
age. Several oil these have been de-
stroyed by the mob. At Fucheufer
rioters wrecked an outhouse, entered
the church and priests house and sacked
everything, but did not burn the build
ings. The amount of damage is not known.
1t is learned that the orphanage was
was not injured. The soldiers were or
dered out, and patrol the streets at
night, guarding the Romanist property.
The town is now left without gunboat,
and a feeling of uneasiness prevails.
A correspondent at Tien-Tsin writes
under date of June 9th, that all is quite
there and no trouble is anticipated.
Comparative quiet seems to be recov-
cred in the YangTse valley, and several
foreign gunboats have left for other sta.
tions.
A telegram from Tien-Tsin states that
the French and British ministers in
China have opened negotiations with
regard to their claim for indemnity on
account of the recent riot. The sum
claimed is 6,500,000 taels.

COLONEL WILLIAM j. Brown. who was
born at Rutland and spent most of his life
in Vermont, died at Brooklyn on last week
Monday at the age of sixty-nine years.
One of his ancestors Stephen Hopkins,
was a signer of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. Colonel Brown was educated at
Middebury College, and received his mlli-
tary training at Norwich University. AT
one time he was adjutant-general of the
state. He was an ant-slavery man, and he
would have been appointed to the command
of a coored regiment during the war had
not his foot been crushed in an elevator of
A. T. Stewards store. He had lived in
Brooklyn of late years and was much inter-
ested in the study of meteorology.

To say that the highest expectations of
the large audience were more than realized,
can be truthfully said of the concert given
here last Friday evening by the University
glee and banjo clubs. The "Slum-
Der Song" by quartette and Lake Cham
plain " by the club, were rich in melody
and sweetness. Mr.. Avery, as leader of
the glee club, and Mr.. Benedict, as leader
of the banjo club, seem to be well calcu-
lated for their respective places, while the
deep rich bass OF Manager Bosworth would
be entirely indispensable. THE best en-
tertainment this winter" was the verdict
of many as they were leaving the hail.

A HORSE THIEF'S SHREWDNESS.
How He Stole Farmer Prices
Valuable from Gray.
a Pretended Mineral Prospcctor Named
Stump Slips Away In tho Night with
the Animal-Thc Irntc Farmer on His
Track, but Stump is Probably Well Ont
of the Wayne Trace of the Horse.

III. C. Price, n well-to-do farmer re-
siding near Cave Spring, on the Frank
liz road, was in tho city yesterday look
ing for a stolen horse, which was taken
from his stables on the night before.
Mr.. Price says he knows the man,
and gave the police fair description of
him as we'll as of the horse, which is n
valuable iron-gray animal, about years
old.
Mr.. Price says that man named
John Stump went to his residence few
days ago and represented himself as a
mineral prospector. IIe was given
board and lodging during that time and
appeared to be a gentleman. He said
he intended going to Bluefeld in few
days, where he had q brother living.
Stump left sooner than was expected,
and very surreptiously at that. This
happened on Monday night, and on
Tuesday morning the horse was miss
ing.
The road leading toward tho city IS
sandy, and Price tracked his man easily.
The thief was sharp and attempted 20
play game calculated to throw Price
off his guard. After leaving the house
he walked fully half mile in the
center Of tho sandy road until he came
to Amall creek. Here he stopped and
returned by way of a piece of woods
where bis tracks wero lost. They were
soon discovered, however, in an opcn
fed, pointing steadily toward Prices
stable.
The shrcwd prospeotor was not sharp
tn RI,
the favorite iron-gray.
Price hurried to Roanoke and in
formed the police of the theft: then to
Vinton and next to Salem. Aftcrward
he returned to the city and began a
search for the missing animal, but
Without avail. Becoming Disguised
with fruitless search, he went home
without making an effort to locate the
thief, other than report the matter to
the police.
The officers kept sharp lookout for
Stump all yesterday morning, and at
train-timc Officer Ware. the station
police, was given description Of the
man.
Suddenly che remembered seeing a
man answering that description buy a
ticket for Blucfield early in the morn
ing.
II oIuiup SlOl0 INC morse. lie must nave
disposed OF him in or around Roanoke,
as he scarcely had time to dispose of the
animal otherwise and get away from the
city at that time OF day.
Stump is described as short, heavy
set man, with dark hair and eyes, and
moderately we'll dressed Price is CON
fident he is the man, and Chief of Police
Morris will make an effort to spot him
to-day.

Tho health commi ttee of tho CITY
Council, in company with Officer Bower

that the work has been neglected, and
that the condition OF the city in that
