a REIGN OF TERROR.
Rockport, Indiana, in the Hands of a Mob
OF Drunken italian LabOrers.

of Drunken Italian Laborers.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 24-There
is n reign of terror at the town of
Rockport, and Il conflict between citi-
zens and Italian laborers is imminent.
Two hundred Italians have been en-
ployed in the construction of the Chi
cago, indianapolis & 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-
WINGED that there was no prospect of
receiving their pay. Many of them
got drunk and rioting began, and the
officers of the law were powerless to
do anything. Stores were broken
open and goods carried away and q
perfect bedlam followed.
The citizens shut themselves up in
their houses and stood guard all night
with guns and pistols, while bust
ness houses were deserted to the
rioters. A committee of citi.
zens waited on the Italian lead
ers 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.

A SERIOUS

! -
Explosion on the whaIeback Christopher
Colurabus Fourteen Persons BADLY
Scsid-d-An But Two of Them Expected
to Recover-lt Is Alleged and Denied that
the Vessel was Racing with IA Rival.
CHICAGO, June 24.-The whalebacli
steamer Christopher Columbus met
with a serious accident To her machin-
cry on her return from Milwaukee
Saturday night. The wind was blow
ing from the south and she was maxi
ing fast time, when, directly off
Waukegan, there was a terrible eXplo-
sion followed by a fash of fame and
the boat was Immediately e~nveloped
in a cloud of steam. Fourteen per-
sons. several of them ladies, were Sc
verely scalded.
On the arrival of the steamer at her
dock at 3 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-
planned 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 IN
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 a trip TO Mil
waulke with 500 passengers on board
and left the Cream City on time for
the return to this city. Everything
went all right until off Waukegan,
when the accident took place.
1t 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 "a 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 a race was imminent if not
actually in progress at the time.
Then" he added, the w~haleback
fell behind us Why, l could not say,
but it was not long before it was away
astern of u.s."
Capt. Smith had the following to say
about the accident:
"We'had passed Waukegan at 80
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 hat it took us about
two and a half hours before we could
start again"
When asked if the rumor among the
passengers to the effect hat the acct
dent was due partially to his anxiety
to beat the Virginia vas true, he
entered Il positive denial.
when the accident occurred" lie
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.

THURSDAY. JANUARY pa 1885.

THE Nation, in summing up lts
slurring comment on Admiral
Walkers report, says: "Au tins
certainly makes up an 'astound-
ing document, as the Washington
dispatches gravely call it, and we
agree with Lodge, that to have mad
so much good laughing matter re-
tanned Sin the dusty pigeon-holes
of the Navy Department would
have been a sin and shame" About
this time the Nation is about to
experience the old adage, that he
laughs best who laughs last. The
policy which the Nation upholds
will, in years to come, be held up
to the ridicule of every American
citizen. When the serious features
have been healed and worn away,
It will be a source of amusement, II
national affairs can drop to that
level, that any sane American
should have lent a voice of COM
mendation to such acts of imbe-
cility as this country has suffered
at the hands of would-be dlplo-
