Last reports show that eight are killed, seven wounded and ten raising. Most of ti e latter are probably dead, but the bodies have not yet been found. The names of the passengers cannot be definite!}’ ascertained, as no names are recorded at the points of departure. It is thought many of the passengers who escaped scalding ' and mangling were drowned, as the boat sank immediately after the explosion The explosion is attributable to defective boilers. Those persons who witnessed the explosion from the steamer Donahue, say that it was almost funny to see the way the smoko-stack went up. It seemed, as they say, to leave the vessel in advance, and shot up in the air over 3CO yards, coming down again within a few feet of the vessel. Matthews, late of Sonoma Mountain, on bls way to Arizona, lost four children, and another will die. His wife is crazy. a strange incident. The most extraordinary incident in connection with the disaster was the finding of Mre. George P. McNear, a passenger, about a mile and a half from the scene of the explosion. She was standing in the mud and j wa* still alive, but unconscious. It is prei sumed she struggled through the mud and weeds for that distance in search of reUef. j She was immediately removed to Lakeville, but died a few minutes after her arrival BOB'S PERORATION. Col, Ingersoll's Closing Appeal to the Star Route Jury. CoL Robert G. Ingersoll consumed Bis days in addressing the jury for the defense for the star-route conspiracy case. The I y, xvALnucu <* wxj lugeuiouM one, ' SEounding in strong points in behalf of his I clients. The conclusion, which had a visible effect upon court, jury and spectators, moving many to tears, is as follows: Now, gentlemen, the responsibility is with you. The fate of these men is in your ; I hands. In your keeping is everything they i I love. Even-thing they hold dear is in your j power. With this fearful responsibility, you I have no right to listen to the whispers of i suspicion. You have no right to hearken to I the promptings of fear. Beware of preju- , I dice. Look t > the testimony alone. Be not : convinced bv the last argument; listen not i to epithets instead of facta Recall | even argument made iu this case Put the evidence in lhe scale, snd then have the I honor and manhood to say which scale goes down. We ask from you the mercy of an honest verdict; that is all we ask—a verdict of your honesty. It is for von to say whether these defendants shad live with honor among your fellow-citizens —whet ’.er they shall live in free air. or be taken from their wives, from their children, from tiieir fireside, from all they hold most dear. It is for you to say whether they shall be clothed with honor, or with shame; whether their day shall set without a single star in all the sky of an eternal night; whether they shall be branded as criminals. After ah they have suffered, after they have been pursued by a Government as no de endants before have been pursued, it is f r you to say whether their homes shall be blasted by the lightning of a false verdict. You must sav whether their future shad be one agony of grief and tears. Noth ng beneath the stars oi heaven is so profoundly sad as the wreck of a human being—nothing so profoundly mournful as a home covered with shame. Nothing is so infinitely • tas a thing that shall ca t a stain upon children yet unborn. It is for you to say whether this shall be such a verdict or one iu accot fiance with the law and the facts. The pros- , ecution is heated with the chase: they are excited bv the hunt; but will say that, in the end, th>'y will be a thou-ami times better pleased with a verdict of not guilty than with what they ask. They would enjoy tneir vittory: they would like success, and they would have yuu give to those aspirations greater weight than to homes, and wives, and children, I want a verdict that will relieve my clients from this agony of two long years; that will lift from them the cloud a verdict that will fill their coming days and nights with joy—a verdict that will fill their minds with a sense of joy and gratitude to you, one and all. INDIAN EDUCATION. Secretary Teller Greatly Pleased with the Progress of the Youth at Carlisle. Secretary Teller, who has lately returned from a visit to lhe Indian training-school at Carlisle, Pa, says the money which will have to he sjient in the present Apache war, if expended for the education of Indian children, would put an end to any further rumors of Indian wara He says that it is no longer an open question that these schools solve the problem whether the Indian is capable of civilization. He adds “If one half of the Indian children were placed at such schools the question would be settled at once and forever. The appropriation is small—greater, however, this year than last, and greater last vear than the previous one —but with it great good is being effected. The Ctes for a long time resisted all attempts at educating their children. There are now. however, in the schools at Albuquerque, N- M-- over tw-enty youths from the Southern I tea Before this I had some fears of the attitude of these Indians in regard to war Now 1 have none whatever. Their children at school are a reliable guarantee that they will keep the peace We have schools at Carlisle, Pa Forest Grove, Ore. and Hampton. Va The last is not solely for the Indiana There are other schools, not so completely equipped, in Nebraska Kansas. New Mexico, and the Indian Tetritory. These schools are doing a good work—the work that is needed —a practical, common-sense work We have taken from these tribes their old manner of living, it is but just we should teach them other wavs of earning a livelihood. They will leaint they will labor: they must live. Leaving out of view altogether any sentimental view of the subject, it is far more economical to educate and teach them to support themseli es than to fight or to support them.

The Millers’ National Association Present Figures Covering Twenty-one States—A Shortage Indicated from the Wheat Crop of 93,000,000 Bushels. The Millers' National Association has given publicity to the wheat-crop estimate, which promises for the whole wheat-belt of ths j United States only 378,500,000 bushels for 1883, indicating a prospective shortage from the 1882 crop of nearly 93,000,000 bushels in twenty-one States, which represent nearly all the wheat-producing areas.

A resident of Park street had a photographer come up for the purpose of taking a view of his residence, and the mStn of the camera had just got in position when along came an old coon with a buck saw on his arm and wanted to know what was up. “Going to photograph the house,” was the reply. “Then I guess I'll pose,” remarked the old man. “I’ll take a position at the left of the gate and represent the statue of Industry.” The members of the family came out and arranged themselves, and the man called out: “Here, old man, you want to get out of that!” “Can’tl represent Industry?” “No, sir!” “Can't I stand over there and represent Laziness ?” “No, sir! We don’t want you in the group at all.” “Lemme represent the Sleeping Beauty?” “You go away!” He drew off to one side, the passing teams halted to give the artist a chance, a directly the plate was made. Everybody rushed forward when it was ready for inspection, and the old man was one of the first. As the plate was held up he giggled and tickled, and finally ; burst into a loud laugh. He had dodged . around the corner of the house and his full figure was revealed behind the . family. “What do yon represent in thatattii tude?” sternly inquired the photographer. “Well, I reckon that's a pretty good I pose for Contentment.” “Very well. I will now represent Dissatisfaction.” And the artist took the festive old I chap by the ear and walked him out of I the crowd and put in a couple of kicks which changed the pose of Contentment to that of Sorrow.—Detroit Free Press.

Miss Lora Kinney, of Wild Cat, is the lx. shepherdess of the Wai>ash. A few yeai* ago her uncle gave Her an orphaned lamb to raise, by hand, which she did successfully, and becoming so much intereased in sheep husbandry, she procured a mate for the lamb, and she now sports a fold of twentyeight old sheep and thirty-three lambs—rtx-ty-one in all, all from the first starting pair. Miss Kinney attend to her flocks altogether herself, both winter and summer, and now receives quite a handsome little income from, the annual sales of wool aud mutton. The body of an unknown man who had evidently been murdered, was found at Zionsville, twenty miles north ofjlndianapolis, with two bullet-holes in the back of his head. Three tramps, George Huntington, Edward Johnson, and George Waldron, who were seen with the dead man, were arrested on suspicion of the crime. They have been canvassmeii with a show and left it at Cincinnati last Sunday, and started to walk to Chicago. Huntington is badly bruised up about the head, and claims that he was hurt by jumping from a train, but all deny any knowledge of the crime. A dispatch from Shelbyville says: “One hundred and fifty three citizens of Sugar Creek township have filed a petition, requesting the Board of County Commissioners to order an investigation of the books, papers and accounts of the Trustees of said township, commencing with the expiration of the last term of Henry Huntington as Trustee and comxning down to the present time. The people of the township believe that thousands of dollars have been sunk by certain former Trustees, and are now determined to probe the whole thing to the bottom. Some of the township books and records have disappeared and cannot be found.” It required the combined efforts of a constable and two policemen to arrest John Kuntz and convey him to jail, at Lafayette. Kuntz is one of the wealthiest citizens of the First ward, owning considerable real estate, the rentals of which amount to considerable. Recently be and his wife and family have had much trouble, owing to disagreements concerning their property. Last week it culminated in a murderous assault upon his daughter. The story of their domestic infelicities is one of the very saddest Mrs. Kuntz, through her friends, states that there was a determined effort on the part of her husband to prevent them from having even the necessaries of life, besides being extremely cruel to them in manj’ other ways. When the aid of officers was summoned he made a crazy assault upon them, striking Constable Weinhart a frightful blow upon the head. He was held in the sum of *SOO on a surety of the peace charge, and *IOO on each of the charges for assault and battery. Kuntz’s extraordhrary antics have created a genuine sensation. He was at one time a Street Commissioner, and Township Trustee, and has heretofore had a large political influence in city affairs. It is believed by several of his friends that he is non compos. A FnAVKi.iv dispatch of the 25th says: “Some ten day ago an out-house on the campus of Franklin College, in this city, was burned by Incendiaries, supposed at the time to have been students. The structure was rebuilt, and on Wednesday night, in rea vlrvuicited ooh, a number of the students met upon the campus for the purpose of dedicating the new building Speeches were made and songs sang, when Prof. Chaffee appeared and ordered the boys away in an angry and dictatorial manner, taking hold of one or two n the attempt to enforce his commands. This provoked toe students, and before the professor was aware of it, he was being ducked by bucketful after bucketful of water from one of the windows under which the parties were standing. The matter created a good deal of talk, and the students were summoned before the faculty, but failed to appear'. This morning warrants were issued and twenty-seven of the “innocents” appeared before the Mayor I to answer a charge of riot which had boon | filed in his court. After considerable parleying the Prosecutor agreed to dismiss the two and twenty, and the remaining five pleaded guilty at a total cost of **ffi, the money being subscribed by the students as i a body. Among the number arrested the names of several ministerial students appear. Fifty students have voluntarily bound themselves to leave college should the faculty attempt to discipline any of their number for participation in the alleged “riot.” A Good-Natured Giant. Sir Bevil Granville, of Cornwall, who ! nearly ruined his estate and sacrificed his life for Charles 1., had for aserving- ; man a giant. His name was Anthony ! I'ayne, and he measured, when shoeless, seven feet and four inches. Though gifted with a giant's strength, he did not use it like a giant, but like a goodnatured fellow, for nature had put a great heart into his huge body. The following anecdotes illustrate the man’s kindly nature: One Christmas eve. the fire languished in the hall at Stowe. A boy with an ass had been sent to the woods for logs, bnt had loitered on his way. Lady Grace Granville, the mistress, I lost her patience, and the gigantic AnIhony went in quest of the lazy lad. | Shortly after he re-entered the hall, bearing upon his back the ass, loaded with wood. Throwing down his burden at the hearth-side, he shouted: “Ass an fardel! ass and fardel for my lady’s yule!” As Sir Bevil rode into Stratton one day, he heard an uproar in the innyard, and told his giant to find out its cause. In a few minutes Anthony came up to his master, with a man under each arm, a horn he had caught in the act of fighting. “Here are the kittens!” said the giant, as he held them for his master to chastise with his riding-whip. After the battle of Stamford Hill, the giant was busy during the night, with other soldiers, in burying the dead. Trenches had been dug to hold the bodies side by side. The soldiers had laid nine corpses in one trench, and Anthony was bringing another, tucked under his arm. All at once the supposed dead man began to plead for his life. “Surely you won’t bury me, Mr. Payne, before I am dead?” “I teU thee, man," was the grim reply, “our trench was dug for ten, and there’s nine in it already; thou must take thy place.” “But! bean’t dead. I say!” exclaimed the man, kicking, to prove his assertion. “I haven’t done living yet; be marsyfnl, Mr. Payne; don't ye hurry a poor fellow into the earth before his time.” “I won’t hurry thee; thou canst die at thy leisure." But the giant’s purpose was kinder than his speech. He carried the suppliant to his own cottage, where the nursing of his wife brought him into health. The man’s descendants are among the principal inhabitants of Stratton at this day. Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeanx. I — Milton.
