4 REIGN OF TERROR.
Rockport, Indiana, In the Hands of a Mob of Drunken Italian Laborers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 24.-There is reign of terror at the town of Rockport, and conflict between citi- zens and Italian laborers is imminent. Two hundred Italians have been em- ployed in the construction of the Chi cago, Indianapolis x Rockport rail- road but for nearly three months they have not received their wages
 Saturday night they visited the headquarters of the contractors and finding them deserted became con- ginced that there was no prospect of receiving their pay. Many of them got drunk and riotng began, and the officers of the law were powerless to do anything Stores were broken open and goods carried away and a perfect bedlam followed.
 The citizens shut themselves up in their houses and stood guard all night with guns and pistols, while busi- ness houses were deserted to the rioters. A committee of citi. 1ens waited on the Italian lead CTS and offered to pay their way, either by rail or water, to any place they wanted to go, but they re- fused to leave until paid by the con tractors The sheriff has summoned 500 citizens to assist him in preserving peace, but the Italians so far seem to be masters of the situation.

NUMBER 26.
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Explosion on the Whaleback Christopher
 Columbus Fourteen Persons Badly
 Scalded-A1 But Two of Them Expected
 to RecOver-It Is Alleged and Denied that
 the Vessel was Racing with a Rival
 CHICAGO, June 24.-The whaleback steamer Christopher Columbus met with serious accident to her machin- cry on her return from Milwaukee Saturday night. The wind was blow ing from the south and she was mak- ing fast time, when, directly off Waulfegan, there was a terrible explo- sion followed by a flash of flame and the boat was immediately enveloped in cloud of steam Fourteen per sons, several of them ladies, were se- verely scalded.
 On the arrival of the steamer at her dock at o'clock yesterday morning the injured were taken in police am balances to St. Luke's hospital, where it was said that all but two of them would recover
 The cause of the accident, as ex- plained by Engineer Webster of the whaleback, was that the fitting on the main steam pipe "let go." This caused the explosion and the escape of the steam The accident was un- avoidable and uaccountable. The boilers were tested only last week and found to be all right.
 The Christopher Columbus went into commission for the season Saturday morning. She left on trip to Mil waulke with 300 passengers on board and left the Cream City on time for the return to this city. Everything went all right until off WaukeRan, when the accident took place
 It is asserted by passengers that the Columbus was racing with the Vir- ginia, of the Goodrich line, but Capt. Robert Smith denied the report. say ing that the boat had new engines and that he was not foolhardy enough to attempt to race with any boat
 As soon as the explosion took place, the utmost excitement ensued among the passengers, and the captain and stewards had considerable difficulty in calming their fears. There were three physicians on board and the in- jured were attended to promptly.
 A member of the Virginia's crew said that when the two boats came abreast of each other on the down course there were evidences to his mind that race was imminent if not actually in progress at the time.
 Then" he added, "the whalebacl< fell behind us Why, I could not say, but it was not long before it was away astern of us."
 Capt. Smith had the following to say about the accident
 ''We.had passed Waukegan at 730 o'clock when one of the main pipes of the boiler blew out. Immediately we shut off steam and attended to the ac- cident After that it took us about two and half hours before we could start again.
 When asked if the rumor among the passengers to the effect that the acci- dent was due partially to his anxiety to beat the Virginia was true. he entered positive denial.
 When the accident occurred" he said, 'the Virginia was at least two miles ahead of us and it is not likely that we would try to race with brand new engines. We were not racing at all in fact, we were running behind our time"
 There are six boilers on the boat, and the disconnecting of the steam pipe disabled all six.

peath Of Everett.

An honest man, true kamaaina
has crossed the stream OF Styx.
Thomas w. Everett, Ex-Governor of
Maui, a most esteemed servant Of
the Government of Hawaii has paid
his dues to grim death and is no
longer among us.
Tom Everett died on the 9th day
OF September at his residence in
Waikapu, Maui. He had passed the
three score and ten, and during his
long stay here he was able to look
back to a clean life, supported at all
times by the admiration Of his fell
low citizens.
Tom Everett arrived here in 1849,
on November 18th in the bark
Memnon from San Francisco. He
was born in Boston, Mass, and
followed the gold fever prevalent in
the latter part Of the forties. For
several years he was trader and
supplied whalers and others with
the produce of the islands. He re-
sided during those days in Homo
lulu and Lshaina, and with his part
ners owned the property now known
as Ulupalakua from where potatoes,
Hour, wheat, corn and other neces-
saries were produced.
After a while Tom Everett made
Maui his permanent home. The
Government of that day readily
recognized his sterling qualities and
he was appointed deputy sheriff of
Maui, position held by him for
nearly thirty years.
In 1860 he married Nellie Richard
son, sister 10 the Circuit Judge of
Maui, and lived in true- happiness
with her until her death few years
ago.
No issue blessed that union, but
the deceased proved himself father
to numbe, OF orphans related to
his wife and now deploring his de-
mise.
Tom Everett was true New Eng
lander. He was gruff and at times
even rough, but rothing can better
express the charter of the man than
the few words said by former Ha-
waiian employee of the deceased
last night to the editor of this paper.
