THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
A River Horror.
Thirty-Seven Passengers of "A steamer
Drowned in the Onto.

Thtrty-SeNen passengers OF n steamer
Drowned in the ohio.
The big passenger steamer, State of
Missouri, struck a rock in the Ohio river,
near Alton, Ind, Sunday night, and was
sunk in 80 feet of water. At least 81 pas
sengers were drowned. She was long
-stern-wheeler plying between Cincinnati
and New Orleans. She had on board a
fairly large cargo and nearly 100 persons,
including crew of so. At Alton the river
narrows and the water being high, an ex-
tremely swift current results. This threw
the stern of the boat in towards the Indiana
shore Before the pilot could regain con-
troll of the boat she hit a rock, tearing a
long hole in the hold at the water line. A
terrible panic ensued and a wild rush was
made for the yawl, which the crew at
tempted to launch, but the yawl went
down too. Another yawl containing four
women is supposed to have reached the
shore. Within ten minutes after the acct
dent nothing but the steamers hull re-
manned, for the terrific urches she gave
broke her to pieces. Several succeeded in
saving themselves by getting into the will
lows and trees and were rescueiby farmers
and passing steamers. The persons drowned
were nearly all passengers, as the boat S
crew saved themselves by swimming ashore.

Escnped WIN $1,000.

John Sheffield of Manchester n. Y,
beat two green goods men at their own
game Tuesday. Sheffield is a saloon keeper
and friend of his was recently duped by
green goods men. Sheffield thought he
saw chance to "do'' the swindlers. He
accordingly communicated with them, went
to Taylors hotel in Jersey City and tele-
graphed them to come there. When the
green goods men arrived they at once threw
$1,000 in genuine money on the table, say
ing "that's the kind we deal in" Sheffield
is a muscular young man and he at once
grabbed the roll and put it in his pocket.
The men attempted to stop him, but Shelf
field hit one with his fist and the other
with a blackjack which he carried, and fled
down the stairs into the street. One of
the men followed, shouting murder, and
officers took Sheffield into custody. When
Sheffield made the officers understand the
situation the green goods men had disap-
peared, but Sheffield had their $1,000.
Sheffield, however, will be prosecuted for
carrying concealed weapons and the $1,000

The Chicago Inter Ocean of Jan. :, 1885, makes
special mention of Minneapolis a mill centre,
in its annual review of the flour trade, 1t says:
The milling interests in the Northwest, partic-
ularly at Minneapolis, have reached such pro-
portions that they are practically in control of
the flour trade of the country. Within the past
two years they have ground the greater part of
the spring wheat crop of Minnesota and the Da
kotas, and this year the MINI eapolis and Duluth
mers have taken the receipts of wheat to such
a large extent that very little of 1t has been ship

And to your little crib l crept.
And watched space thereby:
And then | stopped and kissed your

For oh! l love you So
You are too young 10 know il now.
But some time you shall know.
Some time when, in {. darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm in eternal sleep,
The yoiceless lips, the wr:nkled brow
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you may know.
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, o my darling! how my tears
Are failing as u write:
And feel once more on Your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young TO know it now.
But some time you shall know.

AWFUL OUTLOOK.
FOREST FIRES AGAIN RAGING
AROUND PHILLIPS.
The Populace Greatly Alarmed
Farmers are Flocking to Town
to Seek Safety.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, April 90
Word is received here that forest fires
are again raging in the vicinity of
Phillips and it looks as if that devas-
tated region will suffer a second
catastrophe. The woods near Prem
tice are ablaze and the home
steaders and farmers are rushing into
the city for safety. There were several
farmhouses burned out and there
seems to be no probability that the
fires will abate. The weather is hot
and the woods and trees are as dry
as finder, making them fit subjects
for the fire to prey upon. Unless rain
comes the fire will certainly create
desolatiOn. The people of Prentice
have made an organized effort to
keep the flames from entering the
city. All the fire appliances the city
affords have been gotten ready for
immediate action, and warned by the
disaster to Phillips last summer. the
most heroic efforts will be made to
keep the city from burning up. The
nearest approach it has made is about

AFTER THE PREACHER.
THE FRISCO MYSTERY GROWS
DEEPER.
Pastor of Emanuel Church Put
Through a Most Searching Cross
Examination.

San Francisco, April 26.--About the
only tangible evidence against Durant,
the medical student accused of killing
Marian Williams, that has been adj
duced in the preliminary examination
so far, is that the prisoner was better
acquainted with the dead girl than he
at first would acknowledge. 1t has
been shown that he lied in regard to
that point. AS to the matter of the pos
tive Identification of Durant, as hav-
ing been seen about the church when
the murders occurred, that has not so
far been done.
Rev. John George Gibson, the
preacher of the church against whom
suspicion has been publicly expressed
as being the guilty man, had a long
siege in the Witness-bOX. The district
attorneys questions to the minister
did not detain him long, but the cross
examination seemed interminable
Gen. Dickinson, attorney for the de-
Tense, took the preacher over the
whole course Of his life, from his birtk
in Edinburg to the day Of the discoy-
cry of Miss Williams body in his
church. Every question seemed 20 veil
an insinuation. The minister nswered
promptly, but was disposed to be ex-
crutiatingly exact III his answers. He
was nervous. Every body enjoyed the
parsons discontinue. The district at.
torney, to be sure, did put in one OBJ.
lection to save him from annoyance
but the judge swept it aside and did
some prodding himself. The length of
the cross-eXamination and the manner
of it indicated tnuC Durant's lawyers
propose to throw the preacher forward
as the center of their theory of the
murders. 1t is hard to perceive just
how the defense will connect the
preacher with this murder, for he was
at the party Of the Emanuel young
people at DR.. VOgel's house that night
from 7:30 to IL p. m, while Durant
who should have been there to act as
secretary, did not appear until
after $50.

Warehouses; WITH LITTLE
GOLD
The Filling Process Has all but Ban
ished the Silver Timepiece

''This is an effete age and genera
tiOn" remarked the free silverite.
Not content with depriving the cOun-
try of cheap money, the gold bugs of
Wall street have 50 worked upon the
passion for display that possesses the
multitude that even a silver watch
isn't good enough for the working
man, and he must carry gold time
piece. What has become of the silver
watches our grandfathers used to
wear? Nobody, or almost nobody, car
ries one nowadays"
His listener observed that grand
fathers turnip was probably worn out
by this time. But" he continued, eff
you want to know why even people
III very modest circumstances don't
carry watches like it, I'll tell you.
It's because they can buy gold watch
Sc just about as cheap as your grand
father could silver ones, and they
naturally prefer the more precious
metal. Not solid, Of course, but the
filled case, which, for the time for
which it is guaranteed, is just as
good as the solid"
The ''filling" of warehouses; with
baser metal is an American invention,
and the manufacture of filed cases is
confined to this country, where, how
ever, it has attained vast proportions.
James Boss first conceived the idea of
a substitute for gold, and his inven-
ton was patented in 1854. It's pos
sibilities We're not fully realized by
manufactures for about twenty years,
but since 1876 the use of the new
method has been steadily increasing,
until today filed cases are carried by
the great majority of owners Of

TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.' ~
Mankind Seems to Have a Weakness
for Encouraging This, Headline

1t is an old trait in human nature
that man who has been ordered by
physician to take paregoric will never
take it if there is any carbolic acid in
the house that he can absorb in pref
eronce, says the New York Herald.
StatiSticianS who have studied the
thing declare that an individual will
search the whole house for poisonous
drug and drink it rather than the
medicine ordered by the doctor. The
death notices in the newspapers i'm
cases of that kind are generally
headed: Took the Wrong Medicine"
A man arrived at his home the other
evening, and glancing ON the bureau
saw a bottle of liquid that he mad
been ordered by the doctor to take.
THAT looks like the stuff said he,
but I'm not sure AS | was locking
up the cellar [ saw behind an old
shelf a blue bottle that looked as if
1t hadn't been touched for years. 1t
said on it, 'Sulphuric acid Now that
bottle on the table looks exactly like
the one | drank out of last night, but
still | have an idea that the stuff down
in the cellar is what the doctor means
for me. | don't know how the dickens
1T got down There when it's meant for
me to take, or how this bottle that
isn't meant for me to take got on this
bureau. But I'm not going to take any
chances. I'll just go down into the
cellar and make sure and I'll throw
this stuff out of the window"
Then he cautiously went downstairs
and took the Sulphuric acid and he was
buried i'm due form after an ambulance
surgeon had done his best and the
coroner's physician had made a com
plete investigation and autopsy.
1t isn't only children who make these
blunders. Doctors will tell you that
they have only to label a bottle 10
ton; for external application only to
make sure of it's being drunk If a
patient gets a bottle of corrosive sub
Innate to put on felOn on his great
toe and doesn't use it all he will care
fully save it. Ten years afterward a
doctor gives cough mixture to him,
and then he goes and hunts up the cor
rOsive sublimate bottle, plays three
card monte with it and the cough
mixture, gets them thoroughly mixed
up so that he can't tell one from the
other, and then when he feels that
tightness across the chest that the
doctors told him about he swallows a
part of the corrosive sublimate and
leaves his widow to collect the life in
surance. By no accident is the cough
mixture ever taken-it is always the
corrosive sublimate.
