in July, here is the answer:

Denies the Material Allegations Set Forth in Mr. Robb's Complaint. The following lettor from G. W. Paul has been received by The Jopun.vl in answer to the statement made by J. B. ltobb before tho Boone circuit court to prevent the sale of his real estate to satisfy a judgment in favor of Fisher Dohertv's estate:

court. Now I did not and do not desire to take sides in or have anything to do with the case as I have no interest in the case, but in justice to myself I will say that Mr. Uobb knew all about the judgment going to bo taken before it was taken, and although I'aul, White A- Humphries had a written power of attorney from Mr. Kobb to transact all his business, yet we wrote to him informing him at Silverton, Colorado, of the fact that Fisher Dohertv desired to take the judgment against him and asking him if tho accounts Mr. Dohertv had were all correct, and here, now. is a true copy of Mr. Robb's letter written back in regard to this matter, the original, with many others. I now have, also the power of attorney referred to in the letter, to-wit:

The Wai.ker Hoi-se, Kilvkhtox, Col., Aug., ISfth. 1883.—Friend Paul.— received yours of the 10th a few days ago and was glad to hear from you. But I see that the Brower Manufacturing Company has withdrawn from the tlement. I thought that waa one of the claims settled when I was there. I have noted what you say about tho judgment to Mr. Dohertv. While I would like to comply with your request 1 think I am a little too proud to go to conferring any judgment in Silverton as I have made some friends and acquaintances here, I have not told them that I was broke and ran from my creditors and do not wish to publish that fact now, by any public affidavits, and you wiil have to find a shorter wav to do it or wait until I come home, as I shall make no public exhibition of myself in this country. I believe the accounts were all correct as tiled, and you have power of attorney from me to transact business for me, I can give you another if it is necessary, but would not want it to come here showing that it was for you I to confess judgment for me. as I do not I propose to publish it in this country that 1 am in that business. I will want to hear from you again.

Yours Truly, J. B. Knilll.

The above letter is in answer to a letter written bv our lirm to Mr. Kobb accompanied by affidavits and cognovit to confess judgment in favor of Fisher Dohertv 011 the claims embraced in the judgment in the Boone Circut .Court, if the claims were correct and afterward Mr. Kobb settled with our liriu and paid my fees and expenses for going to appear for him when said judgment was taken, also paid us tho ancunt 1 paid tho Clerk of the Boone Circuit {Court for the transcript, anil also the amount 1 paid the Clerk of the Montj•gomery Circuit. Court for recording tho transcript, and this is in writing signed by Mr. Kobb, and have it. It bears the date.

The Story of the Explosion of the Eoiipsu Told by a Survivor.

"M. H. K.," of the Chicago InterOcean, had a very interesting letter in Tuesday's paper, tlio result of an interview with Captain George R. Brown who commanded the Ninth Indiana Battery during the war. His battery, was nbonrd the steamer Eclipse when the explosion of tho vessel took placo on tho morning of January 20, 1865. The terms of onlistment of the men had oxI pi ml on December 5, but they voluntarily remained, however, lo take part in the battle of Nashville which oecurred on December 15 and 10. After the buttle they followed tho retreating rebels to the Tennesse river and

Captain's own words: "I had been informed that the Eclipse was considered unsafe," he said, "and this is why the Lady Franklin was 1 shed alongside. My men were largely from Montgomery, l'arke and Fountain counties, Indiana, and many of them were old friends and neighbors. The explosion occurred just as we moved out in the morning—as soon, I suppose, as tho pumps were started and the water rushed into the super-heated boilers. My state-room was broken in two and I was thrown onto the deck with my mattress and bedding. Tho room across the cabin was occupied by Colonel Craven and Captain Williams, of Pendleton, Ind., who were passengers. They were pinioned fast by timbers forced up from the lower deck and were extricated with tho greatest difficulty. The wreck 'was enveloped in blinding steam and tho cries and shrieks of tho wounded and dying added to the confusion. Only set' l)0rtion of my battery was with me,

unity odd men. The rest

had been loft at Eastport, Miss., to bring a cargo of condemned horses down tho river and so escaped. Besides the artillery men however, there was a detachment of Iowa infantry on board which had been sent to the front which a detachment of drafted men and deserters—probably fifty of them in all. It had always been a rule with me that my men should be given quarters in the cabin, but owing to the cold weather some of thom had staid below to sleep around the boilers for warmth, and for this reason the loss of life was greater than it otherwise would have been. As soon as I realized what had bappenod I climbed up the side of tho hurricane deck. How I did it I do not know I doubt if I could perform the same feat again. A man joined me who came out of the Texas. \Ye threw overboard everything that could be utilized as life preservers, and succeeded in launching the heavy metal life boat,which a number of men reached, climbed into, and were saved. Tho steamer .Superior made an attempt to run the wreck ashore, but the water was so swift and high that it could not bo made fast. It was almost inqiossiblo to get anybody to go on board the wreck to move the wounded, for the Eclipse

Tlio Lady Franklin, I should explain, was not damaged. Wo lay the men on the floor of tho cabin, in two long rows. Many of thom were scalded until the llesh hung from their bodies in shreds. There was no physician on board, and we opened tho Hour barrels in tho pantry and covered them with Hour from head to foot, relieving thoir suffering by excluding the air from their wounds. One little German among the Iowa troops, named Hans School, mortally wounded, had both eyes scalded out. He thought
