New York. Jan. 25.-The steamer
Rhode Island of the Norwich line went
ashore on He'll Gate at 1880 o'clock
last night. The first the passengers
knew ot the danger was terrific
crash, and the vessel came to stand
still.
The 60 persons aboard rushed on deck
and remained huddled together. while
the officers sent up signals OF distress.
The lights were then visible on North
Brother island, and boats put over to
the stranded vessel which was oil
one Hundred and Thirty third street
The captain of the Rhode Island re-
fused assistance at that time, however,
and tugs were summoned 10 make an
effort to drag the vessel To deep water.
All this time the frightened passengers
refused to go below, fearful that the
danger was greater than they had been
told. The lightning played around the
Rhode Island and the rain fell in tor
rents
Finally. about midnight the passen-
| gers were transferred 10 the New
Hampshire, and were started again to-
ward their destination.
The Rhode Island was floated early
| this morning and taken to a dock she
! lost her rudder, but it is believed that
/ she suffered no other serious damage.
The steamer will be placed i'm dry
| dock for thorough examination.
The report that the FAN River line
! steamer Pilgrim was ashore was un-
! true.
Last summer the Rhode Island ran
on the route between Prcyt1ence ano
New York but during the Winter she
has been on the Norwich line. The New
! Hampshire is on the Stonlngton nh'

Sensational reports were sent out
from Topeka to the effect that Gov
Stanley was very mad over the lynch
ing of the negro rapist, Embree, and
had threatened to break off diplo
matte relations between the two
states of Kansas and Missouri
These reports had it that Governor
Stanley had written Gov. Stephens
a scorching letter to that effect. This
letter when received by Governor
Stephens was very pacific. II con
tanned no such threats. as charged,
but on the contrary said: Il am
not censurlng you, as 1 think you
did quite all that could have been
done when you wrote Sheriff Gibson
the characte~ of letter you did and
urged him to protect Embree and
keep his promise" Some newepa
pers are SO indicative against Gov.
Stephens that they embrace every
opportunity and do not hesitate to
pervert facts to annoy him and place
him IN false light before the peo-
pie. Very often, as in this ease.
these reports are sent out as matters
of news and find their way into the
columns of papers very friendly to
the Governor. Mr.. Stephens has
been bounded by these hyenss worss
than any executive the State ever
had and in every instance a real or
grievance can be traced
to the editors of these papers.

NOT so BAD.

The indictment of the county poo
farm by the four ladies representing
: the relief society before the county
court last week was not so severe al
, indicate. These ladies. MesdameE
. j. Egeringham, T. j. Day, Fl. E
Percival and Max Weinsr. among
the first ladies of our city, visited
the poor farm for the purpose of in.
vestigating its management and dis
covering its shortcomings. They
reported to the court that the part
of the building occupied by the pa
TENTS needed some repair. That the
sanitary condition could be improved
and that an insane patient, who was
kept in irons, be sent to the asylum.
We venture the assertion that not
another poor farm within the con
fines OF the state could have so well
withstood the scrutiny of these four
sympathetic ladies. 1t should be
retnem bered that poor farm is not
meant for a place of luxury and
pleasure. No one goes to such a
place except in extreme restitution
Now if they are furnished substan-
tial victuals and comfortable
place to sleep, with warm clothing,
it is all that humanity demands. 1t
is to the credit of the county court
and to the superintendent that no
scandal or charges of mismanage |
ment was even limited at, as was the
case under former court of differ
ent political complexion It is rarely
that an institution of this kind is in
without some of the in
mates, often vicious, making com.
plants of i'll treatment, lack of
suitable food. etc. No such COM
plants appear in the report of these
excellent ladies. The county needs
