W1NAMAc, Ind, April 17.-The pas.
senger steamer Nellie Bly, exploded
near here Sunday afternoon, injurine
at least eight persona The following
are the only ones whose names are
known:
Fishborn, Clarence, aged 10, son OF
the proprietor of the boat; badly scalded
about the face and body, and otherwise
injured.
Fishborn, j. f., owner of the Nellie
Bly,, only slightly scalded, but hurt in.
ternally, perhaps fatally.
Long, James badly scalded, and mar
rowly escaped drowning.
Rhodes, Daniel carpenter, badly
scalded and injured by the shock of be.
ing thrown on the bank of the river,
and also by being hit with rubbish Of
various descriptions
Train, George, proprietor of the Eagle
machine shops; both legs broken above
the ankles and according to the report
Of physicians just returned from his
home, both will have to be amputated,
the operation necessarily being one
which will endanger his life. The
others were more or less scalded and
violently shaken up by the tremendous
conclusion, but it is not thought any OF
them are in immediate danger Most
OF them were passengers on the boat.
The boat was completely wrecked and
sank in thirteen feet of water where it
may be easily recovered, and perhaps a
portion of it saved; but the loss will be
heavy.
About o'clock Sunday afternoon the
Nellie BLY, started down the Tippecanoe
river on a Sunday excursion. 1t was
for the purpose of making these week.
" trips that the boat was principally
employed, she being of light build and
made for pleasure only. Usually the
boat fcarries from forty to fifty pas
sengers each trip, but owing to
the coldness of the weather and the
fact that the clouds threatened snow,
only small number of persons were on
board. This was not less fortunate
than the fact that at the time the
explosion occurred the pilot had
turned the boat toward the shore,
which, never very far away,
was rendered within easy distance
for the frightened passengers who were
SO unexpectedly precipitated into the
water. When two miles down the
river the pilot noticed that the
boat did not seem to be behaving exact
ly as she ought to- She would hesitate,
then 60 ahead, and finally came almost
to stop Under tine circumstances he
concluded 1t would be good idea to
put into shore for a few moments and
see what allied the machinery. He had
hardly turned her head toward land
when tremendous explosion took
place, and the little craft was torn
asunder.

Q5t qdtehg Arpus,
THE OFFICE SHOULD SEEK THE
MAN.

Wellsmoaning advoca'es of the
rule that the Office should seek the
maagAre ...liable<<tasawerso7 * the
enormous labor which that priRci-
pie il at times liable to ihhict rpon
the tffice. The man may have q
mysterious premonition that the
office is after him; he may even
have a direct hint to that effec'; in
which cas-, if he be an cid experts
enced bird, he does not take to the
woods, where the office would be
likely to go cunning for him, but
a%rtfully hes him to The vicinity OF
the Office itself, and SO buf1es pnrS
suit.
There, for example, was the
office Of Minister to Mexico, which
went around looking for its prey a
shot time ago. The news that il
was seeking the destined mar
reached the ears Of two distinguish
ed Statesmen, General Bragg OF
Wisconsin, whom it had caught
mapping and captured some years
ago, and Representative Kilgore Of
Texas, who had a keen scent for
the hunt.
Both were happily enabled te
battle the enemy by taking refuge
in the very place where nobody
would dream Of looking for a coy
patriot.
While President Cleveland, de
spairing of catching either Of those
shrewd birds, was making out ths
nomination of Mr.. Gray for the
place, Messrs. Bragg and Kilgort
we're comfortably hiding under The
roof of the White House, waitin?
for the result.
They had a very narrow escape
but it is a pretty well~eetablishec
fact that the sOrest way OF evadins
Presidential favor is by haunting
the Executive Mansion and keep
ing ones se,f within short range o
the official gun.
Some people think that Bragg
and Kilgore wouldn't have minded
a bit if the President had caugh
them-but this Ia a censor.ou

Mr., Cleveland Rules.

We told n readers nearly TWO
weeks ego, in commenting npon
his inaugural address, that Mr..
Cleveland's utterances on the subs
iect OF civii>service reforms did not
signify that he would keep Repub-
licans in o@fice, but only tast in
appointing men to Office he would
select those Democrats who we're
best qualified to perform the dn-
ties thereof. We told them also
that to concede that the Presi-
dents u%tterances Indicate that he
would prefer Republicans to Dem
ocrats would be to concede that
the competent men were all 10 the
Republican party. In a word,
Mr., Cleveland believes in civil
service reform inside of the Demo>
cratic party. This rule of aps
pointing the most competent of the
Democratic ofice-seekers and diss
missing the Republican incubenls
will obviate in a great degree the
objection to civilsservice reform
that its tendency is toward the pols
icy Of establishing acivil pension
list.
Our Washington kilograms re-
Gently contained a paragraph upon
the subject CT ~civil-service reform,
or, rather, throwing light upon Mr..
.Cieve!and's position relative to
filling the government offices.
That paragraph states that Mr.,
Herbert, Mr.. CIeveland's new Secs
rotary of the Navy, required OF a
Democratic applicant Tor office
that he shonld prove that he was a
Democrat "and always had been
one," or, rather, as we suppose it
should have read, had been known
under Mr.. Harrisou's Administra-
ton as a Democrat, he having held
office under that Admioistra-
ton. If, as no doubt he did, Mr..
Herbert spoke for the President
the latter is not ayerse to favoring
Democrats whenever and wherever
he car; but he is determined T.
have not only a clean a1ministra-
ton but an administrator
remarkable for the high qnal.
ifcatious o: its officials and for the
~soundness of the Dem )crats who
will fill its post of honor and emo,-
ument.
A second rule of Mr.. Cleveland;
adoption is that the men WHO gel
appointments TO important office,
,onzt vu0 fhnfr ti,,n RI fl,n ann
try and not undertake . per.or IL
their duties a. government Officers
by proxy. Men who haven't time
to eerve their country well
will be excused from serving
it at all, at least in cfnc a
places of Importance. Thrre are
So many deserving Democrats who
are ready to give all their time to
the country that there can be nc
excus for converting the govern
meut offices into s;necares. Let
the merton Ious man who needs the
office have it.
A third rue Of Mr.. Cleveland
adoption is that Offices reqnis .ng
business talents in their incubcnts
must be given to business men
This rule is intended to be applied
particularly to consulships, we
suppose. These consulships, arc
too often bestowed upon men who
are totally incompetent to the per.
fnrmance of the duties thereof. Mr,
Cleveland already possesses TO q re
markable d.groe, the confidence Of
business men aud his determines
