Victoria special' The steamship Empress of China has arrived with Yokohama advices to the Rth instant. Two foreignerseiaiming to be English by birth and American by naturalization, who served till re. ently in the Brazilian Navy, were taken from the French mail steamer. Sydney, at Kobe, by Japanese authorities by permission of the French Consul On the i was found a letter from an Envoy at Washington to Li Hung Chang, and a formal .contract promising to jay Sl.ljtHi.flOJ for the destruction of the .la] anese navy and a specified sum for every merchant shin destroyed. The men claim to have discovered a powerful explosive and contracted with the Chinese government through the legation at Washington to destroy the .l-panese navy within eight weeks. The Japanese got wind of it in some manner unknown and the arrests followed. This raises a nice diplomatic question a eating the United States, France and England. Ths French Minister at Tokio protested and telegraphed home for instructions. tireineii Injure;!. While truck No. was answering a hurry call for a fire at Newark, N. J., it collided w ith a trolley car onOrange aienue. Five tiremen were thrown to the ground. Tiire.- are believed to be fatally injured and were taken to the City Hospital. The other two are seriously in ured. It was impossible to avoid a collision, as the horses ot the truck were on a dead run. Instantly the car struck the truck turning it completely over ami burying the firemen under the weight of ladders and other heavy stud. The truck horses were swer ed about and fell in the debris, while the car was jammed like a ram in the wreck. Twelve passengers on the car were hurled forward in a mass, many of them being slightly injured. Two women fainted, but were otherwise uninjured. Bloodv Deeds. A special from Uris State of Sonora, Mexico, says: A courier from the town of Soyoha in the Ya .ui va ley, southwest of here, has arrived, bringing information of daring depredations by a band of Ya uii Indians. The ranch of Pedro Hernadez was visited by a band of ten warriors and three women and two men belonging to the Hernandez household were killed in old blood Hermandez. happened to be in Soyoha at the time of the raid. The Indians, after com mitt ng the murders, burned the ranch builuings and drove off several hundred head of cattle to the mountains. Sad Accident* Mr. Robert Earnest, aged 55 years, -of Springfield, Ohio, while outriding was thrown from his buggy and instantly killed. The horse took fright near Wittenberg College and stated to run. Earnest, being a cripple, could not control the animal. The buggy was overturned and Earnest's neck was broken. Horrible Explosion. There was an explosion of coal dust in the Blanche Coal Works, near Colliers. W. Va. Four men dead and two fatally in ured have been taken out. Eighteen men were at work in the mine and it is not thought that any escaped death or injury. The explosion was caused by blasting coal. What to Do with Lo’s Land. Secretary Smith.

Ol ILOOK UK!,. Hl 1 11 Business Revive* Somew hut In Mansfaetarinjj R. G. Dun i Co. s Weekly Review of Trade --ays: •'la nearly all branches of business gradual improvement appears, and the hopeful feeling obsc-rveu last week has continued. Then it was also noted that the main conditions of business and trade ha 1 not suddenly changed, and this becomes clearer, to the disappointment of ,-ome. Low farm products. low wages, and only partial employment of labor, still retard distribution. and the limited demand hinders I the recovery of industries. Progress toward recovery has not ceased, and many est : iishments have re-j sinned or added to their producing ' for. es. some also a ivuncing wages, but it willtake time to Hit business out of its depression and the progress made, if le.-s than the sanguine expe ted, is at least encouraging-. The decision to offer '>< !',u i fboi d.-forihe replenishment o the treasury was, by b nk- • r-. generally approved but events are showing that restoration of confidence cannot by itself remove all emoarrassment. "It is generally assumed that the offered bonds will lie taken at once. The reported importation of gold from London. with a loss on is lace of $7,5'0 at present exchange rates, is presumably meant to affect Fond subscriptions. There have already been some withdrawals of gold from the treasury by i- demption of notes to make payments for bonds, and goods rather than gold are likely to come from Europe.” DOWN TO DEATH. \ Freight Train Go s Through a Bridge. Causing 1»« at h and Destruction. A disastrous railroad accident occurreu at Larimer ou a branch line ot the Pennsylvania Kailroad about twenty-fl.e miles east of Pittsburgh.in which it is believed lour or five coal miners and probably more lost their i lives. The list of the dead as fares can ■ lie learned, is as follows; FRANK RICE. married. FRED LOYS, married. FRED LOY S, J K., his son, aged 17. i The train wrecked consisted of sixteen carloads of coal and was just pulling out from the New Larimer mines, and on board were a number of miners. As it was crossing over a trestle near Larimer station the axle on the second ear broke down, the balance of the cars piling up in a heap, which resulted in the breaking of the trestle, and the whole muss of cars and human beings went down with a crash into the creek below. The miners on the train at the time were returning from work. The exact number of men cannot be learned positively. The railroad officials say that four or five miners pro ably went down in the wreck, and the last report from Larimer stated that the body of Rice had been taken out of the mass of debris. The unfortunates who went down in the. wreckage are undoubtedly dead. The place where the wreck occurred is but a short distance from the main line of the Pennsylvania road. Ml TINY Al SEA. piii vi '.. U ili lit-ls. and Clubs Played an important Fart. ■ During a recent trip of the steamship Naushai, conveying !0> Japanese from their native country to Honolulu, tne crew routine I and the vessel was worked by officers only. A quartermaster started the row. He was not steering properly and Captain King called his attention to the bad service. The man ordered Ca tain King away from tbe wheel. The Captain was thunderstruck at the audacity 01 the petty officer and sharply re: rimanded him. At this the quartermaster struck Captain King. The scuttle for- , ward soon attracted the attention of . all on hoard and there was a wild rush in that direction. Several officers turned their attention to the bon passengers doing all possible to prevent a panic. The crew to a man came to the aid of the quartern.aster Two or three had hatchets, others knives and the remainder bars and cl bs. Cant. King and the Britishers who came to his aid recognized that the odds w< re too great to think of entering into a combat. No effort was made to enforce discipline. The ' crew mixed in with the passengers. . Tne immigrants were in sympat.'.y entirely with the mutinous body, and ' leaders aim ng the travelers threatened to takeup thequarrel of thecrew and stood ready at all times to help the sailors. 1 pon the vessel’s arrival at Honolulu the mutineers were arrested. CAM ALTY AT Ml XCIE. Five Men Frightfully Scalded and Burned* A horrible accident occurred in Muncie, Ind., in which five men were dangerously scalded and burned. The injured are: John Gainer, aged 50 years: Valentine Gibson, age.d 45 years: John Curtis. Lenzy M. Taylor, and John Bowers. I They were employes ot the Muncie muck bar mill. In the mill there are five large boilers, and under these is a mud drum twenty-five feet long and three feet square. One end of the drum cracked and then burst. A stream of hot mud, boiling water and steam was thrown out the length of the mill and live men who wa estan-i---ing in the line of the Dream fell to the ground, either burned or cooked. They were carried to their homes, where a number of physicians were summoned. The flesh on Gainer’s face, hands, and legs is completely cooked, and when h’s clothing was removed, the outer flesh peeled off. It is thought he is burned internally and cannot recover. Gibson is also in a bad condition, his face and hands are in a blister. Curtis is in about the same condition as G ainer. Taylor and Bowers are burned about the face ana hands and their bodies were scalded. Their eyeswere filled with hot mud and they ran wild around the factory screaming for help. Their suffering was intense and canno: be described. The factory was slightly damaged. SWEPT BY FLAMES. Mining Camps in Colorado Destroyed by Fire. Boulder Colo.) special: A forest fire which was started from a campfire has been raging north of the mining camp of Gold Hill, a town of about Joo inhabitants, titteen miles northwest. The timber is as dry as powder and a fierce wind arried it over nve miles of dense timber iu a effort time. Fifty people came into Boulder in wagons from Gold Hill, mostly women and children. They report that the

business men and miners were hastily i carrying w.iat goodsand property they could into the mining tunnels and had abandoned any hone of saving their stores and dwellings. The gravity of the case is fully appreci- | ated here in Boulder, and the ’ utmost excitement prevails. It is lielieved many small camps will be bi rned. The residents of Gold Hill, who have n >t come to Boulder, have assembled on the top of Horse'ei I mountain, and are watching the progress of the devouring flames as they eat their former homes. LIVES LOST. Many Perish in the Forest Fires of the booth. Memphis Tenn, special: Reports from the forest tire districts in this vicinity show that while the loss to property is not great, considering the extent of territory covered, the loss of lie exceeds apprehensions. Within fifteen miles of Memphis, three lives have been lost by fire in the past two days, and there are rumors of a fear ul burning in Arkansas, where five lives were lost. The remains of five hi man beings were found, the flesh and elot hintr all burned off. in the St. Francis bottoms. all within a quarter of a mile of each other. There are fears that they are the remains of a party of h titers from Texas that went "into that country last week, but there is nothing to support this except the number of bodies. The fatalities iu thisco.nty were peculiarly distressing. Fanny Woods, an aged Degress, had her dress ignited as she tied from a burning house, and she ran. surrounded by the flames, until she fell dead. 1 ’itt Hoy, a fl-year-old boy, ran into his father’s house, which was on fire, to save some property. The house collapsed and he was burned to death before many spectators. The name of the third victim is not ascertainable. FATAL EAKTHQTAKE. Thirteen People hilled and Fifty Wounded. Rome special: Dispatches from the earthquake shaken province of Reggio di Calibria say that more slight shocks were felt in that district. Although no further damage was done the inhabitants continue terror stricken, and numbers of people are fleeing from the towns into the country. Thirteen persons were killed and over fifty injured at the village of Semenia. This village is nearly destroyed. At Palmi where nearly all the houses are ruined, seven persons were killed and fifty injured. Number of houses at Malochohio ana Audrevuve were damaged Although nobody was killed or injured at those plaes the populations are camping out in the fields. The troops in the province of Reggio di Calibria are rendering all the assistanee possible to endangered inhabitants. Two violent shocks of earthquake were felt at Milasson on the north coast of the island of Sicily. The terrified inhabitants tied from the town and sj ent the night in the open air. A Bread Riot. A large detail of police was called i out to quell a riot in the City Hall, I Chicago. Two hundred and silty discharged employes of the Water Department gathered about the Comptroller’s office and demanded the wages due them. The Comptroller sent a < lerk to inform the men that there was no money in the t ity Treasury to pay them. Instantly the crowd grew riotous. Cries of bread and threats . of instant vengeance were howled forth by the angry crowd, and the Comptroller, gathering his clerks, barred the doors to his o‘i ce and sent a hurried call for policemen. , A half dozen officers appeared, but were promptly rushed out of the corridor by the thoroughly aroused men. A battalion of patrolmen was summoned and after a liberal use of force tbe rioters were clubbed into submission and driven from the City Hall. Tho large crowd which had been attracted by the disturbance was heartily in sympathy with the ex-employes, and threats to compel instant payment of the over-due wages were numerous until the police succeeded in dispersing the throng. > Frightful Collision. While running at the rate ot twenty miies an hour freight train No. 71 and Work Extra No. 43. on the Cleveland. Loram and Wheeling road, collided at Warmington. three miles south of Massillon, Ohio. The wreck is one of the most disastrous in the history of the road, and cost tbe life of I Engineer David Rosenburg of Lorain, i The locomotives came together head to head and were literally torn to pieces, and twenty coal and box ears were derailed and rendered worthless. The disaster was caused by the worktrain flagman misunderstanding his orders. The engine men on twit h locomotives jumped. Rosenburg was first to take the chance, but was hurled under the engines. Death resulted instantly. The injured were: Fireman Darwin Barker of Massillon, wrist broken, cut and bruised. Engineer Charles Shaver of Lorc.in, ankle fractured and breast injured. Fireman Jacob Hoffman of Lorain, bruised and cut painfully. Fatal Sparring Match. While Bob Fitzsimmons and Con Riordan, has sparring partner, were boxing at Jacobs'Opera House, Syracuse, N. Y., Fit simmons caught Riordan with a blow on the point of the jaw. and the San Francisco pugilist was knocked out, The blow was a light one, but Riordan had been drinking heavily and did not recover consciousness despite the efforts of two physicians. Fitzsimmons was placed under arrest. Bail was refused. The doctors have decided that Riordan is suffering from cerebral heminorhage and that he is likely to die. Fit., simmons is almost prostrated by the result. He claims that he did not strike Riordan a hard blow and that it wo lid not have knocked him out unless he had been physically weakened. I There are witnesses, however, who say that if Riordan had been drinking as it is claimed, he did not show any s gns of it as he walked out on the stage. A dozen of the best physicians in the city are attending the injured man. Struck by the Cars. At Coshocton, Ohio, Daniel Fair. ■ Commissioner of Coshocton County; Newton Speckman, County Auditor, and a ICear-eb’ son of the latter, were attempting todrive over the I'anHandle Railroad crossing when their buggy was struck by a train. They

were null'd several feet and Fair received injuries from which he will die. speckman and his son were bruised, b it not seriously. A Big OU WIL At Gibsonburg, Ohio, twenty-five miles from Toledo, Kirkebride Bros, have brought in an oil well which so far has eclipsed all previous discoveries of petroleum in the Ohio and Pennsylvania fields if not iu the world. The well started at the rate of 300 barrels an hour and has kept the phenomi inal re ord. The drillers did not expect | such a gusher in a territory that has I repeatedly been bored with indifferent success, and for hours the flow from the well could not be got into the tanks. Kirk bride Bros, have another well near Gibsonburg giving 100 barrels an hour. Burned to Death. I’eru find, special: Whilethe family of William Reeder was up town witnessing the olifieation of the Republicans over the recent election, Mrs. Josephine Weist. mother of Mrs. Reeder, aged *0 years, who has been an invad i or the past fourteen years, was in some manner unknown burned to death. A daughter of Mr. Reener, with a gentleman friend, returned to the house just as she cried for help. •They ran to her assistance and wrapped h rin bed clothing, but she was burned too badly, and after lingering a few hours her suffering was relieved by death. Home for Old Soldiers. The Grand Army of the Republic of Indiana owns over a resol valuable land near the famous Tippecanoe battle ground and it is proposed to ask the next Legislature for an appropriation that suitable buildings may be erected upon this land which will Always bo open to the heroes of the late war. A bill appropriating slso,t>oo for a soldiers' home passed the Lower House last session after being cut to 5.5.000. The bill reached the Senate too late for action and there it stood at adjourment. It is estimated that over 1,000 veterans are in the poor asylums of the State. After Indiana <-«3 Wt!!«. William Dieterich and J. L. Starrell, representing a New York syndicate, are at Waoash, Ind., negotiating and I will probably consummate a deal for the purchase of the Wabash Natural Gas company’s plant. The syndicate is said to have unlimited capital lehird it. and is endeavoring to secure control of the gas plant in several of the Indiana pipeline cities. The Wabash company owns thirty wells and a vast amount of gas territory. The offer for this plant is said to be in excess of *200,000. A Triple Tragedy. Martin V. Strait, a well-known flour and feed dealer, of Elmira. N. Y., fatally shot his wife, put one bullet in the body of his sister-in-law, Mrs. William Whitford, which may cause death, and ( then shot himself. Strait separated from his wife twice, and when she re fused to live with him he followed her | down town and killed her. Fatally Hurt. Charles Thomas, a fireman on the Pan Handle engine No. 7t>. met with a 1 perhaps fatal accident while giving his engine water at Elwood. Ind. He was knocked from the tender by the automatic water spout, striking his head and rendering him unconscious, an.l, it is thought, injuring him internally. A Village Almost Wiped Out. Scranton, (Pa..l special: A fire which broke out at Mudtown. Pa., destroyed fourteen houses and nearly effaced the village from the earth. The tire originated in the hotel of John Harvey, but just how is not known. The loss is estimated at 425,IHO, with slight insurance. Another Train Hehl I p on the Saute Fe. Kansas City Mo. special: It is reported a passenger train on the Santa i* e Railroad was held up somewhere between Van Buren and Macy, and Joe Brown, a Pullman conductor, was shot and killed by one of the ban Jits. The success of the raid is not known. Volcano In Mexico in Flame*.

The deceased leaves a widow and two children. George and Emily, the former in his capacity as manager of the Newspaper Union’s supply department being well known to the newspaper fraternity of tbe Northwest. After a touching funeral service in Chicago, the remains were conveyed to Milwaukee Friday by special train. Nearly one hundred devoted employes accompanied the body to its last resting place, and by the side of the open grave in Forest Home Cemetery mingled their sorrow with that of the grief-stricken family, and paid tribute to the memory of one whom they all loved. Story of His Life. Charles E. Strong was born in Union City, Mich., March *js. 1841. His parents were among the early pioneers of that State, having located there in ISM In 1850 they removed to Milwaukee, \Vis„ where, at the age of fourteen years, their eldest son. Charles E.. was apprenticed to S. M Booth, then publisher of the Daily Free Democrat, to learn the printer's trade, with whom he remained for four years. Afterward Mr. Strong was engaged in the different newspaper and job printing offices in Milwaukee until the year 1860, when he entered the office of the Evening Wisconsin as compositor, and two years later was made foreman of that establishment, which position he held until October. 1870, when he was sent to Chicago by his employers to establish and put in operation the Chicago Newspaper Union, which has become, under his management and direction, the largest auxiliary printing house in the world. He had probably d ne more to advance the ready-print newspaper system than any other man in the I country, and was the pioneer in practical work pertaining to that business, his first experience in making up what is termed “patent inside” forms dating back to the spring of 18G4. Probably no man in Chicago had a larger or more agreeable acquaintanceship or was held in greater esteem .among the country publishers of the West than Charles E Strong. NEW DIPHTHERIA TREATMENT.
