Four Lives Lost by the Explosion of an Engine Sad Ending of a Yachting Tarty. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 7. About 4 o'clock this afternoon by-standers near the boathouses at tho foot of Ferry street, heard two explosions in quick succession, from the hoat-house just being built by L. B. Crocker, superintendent of the Kew York Central stock-yards, in which his pleasure yacht Cedar Ridge was stored. Immediately following the explosions, the boat burst into flames, which soon made a furnace of its interior. Simultaneously with the explosion two or three persons were thrown into the water as if from the force of the discharge. Caleb Tolsma got a boat and picked tip a young woman, Miss McLean, aged twenty-eight years, from tho water. She was badly burned and taken to the hospital. At this time the form of Mr. Crockets young son was seen standing on the boat s deck against a background of tire. Another man, named Chas. Schweigels, seized a pike-pole and extended it toward the little fellow till it almost touched his breast, at the same time ciying to him to CTap it and ho would rescue him. But the little fellow seemed paralyzed, and in a moment fell back into the tiro and burned to a crisp before the horrified gaze of the on -lookers. Schweigles's face was burned from his attempt to rescue the boy. But now attention was directed to a carpenter clinging to a rafter just over the blazing boat. For a few moments he hung desperately on his perch and then, as if stupefied by the heat and suffocated by the smoke, loosed his hold aud dropped, another victim, into the furnace below. His name was John H. Kugenstein, thirty years old and married. Ho leaves a wile and five small children, ranging in aces from live months to seven years. The othr children of Mr. Crocker, Leonard Lemuel, aged nine years and ten months, and Ethel, a daughter aged eight years, also perished in the flames. Another girl, Charlotte, aged fourteen, was blown into tho water and rescued therefrom and sent along with Miss McLean to the hospitaL Tho yact was what is known as a naphtha launch, ran by naphtha, for fuel. The accident was caused when tho engineer lit the match for ignition of the fuel by the explosion of some gas which had leaked out. The boat was of about fifteen tons, and was bought by Mr. Crocker in New York and brought here last spring. It is a total wreck, not enough being left to make a dining-room table of. The boathouse was destroyed, nothing being left but the charred frame. The family was preparing to go oil on a pleasure trip, nnd Mr. Crocker had taken his four children and Miss McLean, a lady from Detroit, vho was stopping with them, to the river for an excursion. Crocker himself barely escaped with his life. He is almost insane with grief. His wife has been ill for some time, and this will probably kill her. The condition of tho other daughter and Miss McLean was reported serious, but not necessarily fatal. STRIKES AND LABOR MOVEMENTS.

The great strike in the Connellsville coke region was made general to-day and every one of the seventy-six coke plants and over 14,000 ovens were idle.

Correspondents Taking Liberties with About the President's Perrosatiye. Terms Upon Which the Sioux KeserrationWill Be Opened to Settlers Swine DiseasesMiscellaneous Washington News. HOW IT IS DONE. Able Correspondents Ma kin; Important Appointments In the President's Absence. Special to tli IndianpoUs Journal. Washington, Aug. 7. Four or five Washington correspondents met last night, had a mysterious conversation and parted. Four or five nowspapers, in diil'erent sections of the country, published, this morning, a dispatch from Washington to the effect that the question as to filling the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench hasbeen settled, and that Secretary Noble was tho man chosen. Three or four) months ago President Harrison was absent for a day or two, and during his absence it was settled,with the utmost positiveness, and upon so-called undeniable authority, that Attorney-general Miller had been decided upon as the successor to Justico Matthews. Two or three weeks later the President was again absent, and during his absepce a story was circulated, with the utmost positiveness, that Secretary Tracy was to go upon the Supreme Court bench. The President had only been away from Washington about twelve hours yesterday when the third and latest story was wired, and Secretary Noble was named as tho man for this important position. All of theso stories started as a side issue to the main fact that Assistant Postmaster-general Clarkson is to bo elevated to the Cabinet as soon as the President makes the vacancy. It is barely possible that the President has some idea of choosing one of his Cabinet officers for a place on the Supreme Bench. Secretary Kusk would not do. Mr. Blaine is not a lawyer. Postmaster-general Wanamaker has had no legal training. It is, therefore, likely that, in the political game of chess. Secretary Proctor will ba used to checkmate all other aspirants for the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. The President may have made up his mind on the subject, but it is very doubtful. He certainly has given out- no intimation of his determination, aud Secretary Noble said to-day that the report that he is to go on the Supreme Bench is absolutely false. THE SIOUX LANDS. Settlers Will Have to Pay for Them Arrangement for the Indians. Washington, Au. 7. Secretary Noble was very much gratified to-day at the receipt of information that the Sioux Com mission has been successful. He said that the settlement of this matter affected a large number of people and was a great thing for the Indians as well as for the peo ple in that section of the country. He im mediately sent the following telegram to the commissioners: My congratulations and sincere thanks for Jour able efforts, and great success. You have one a great work tor numanitv. the Indians in cluded. Have sent your telegram to the Preslaeut, who is at lioston to-day. j oux v. isoble, secretary. According to the act of Congress under which the agreement was made, the unre linquished portion of the Sioux reserva tions is divided into six reservations as follows: Standing Rock, Cheyenne river, Lower Brule. Crow creek. Pine rid ere and Kosebud, so separated that a large portion of the relinquished part of the reservation divides them into sets of two, one set being on the northern end of the reservation, another on tho eastern, and the third on tho southern. The land thrown open to settle ment, aggregating aoout ii,uuu.uuu acres, will be disposed ot by the United States to actual settlers, at the following rates: $1.25 per acre for all lands taken within the first tnree years after the act takes ellect; id cents per acre for all lands disnosed of within the succeeding two years, and 50 cents per acre for the residue of the landsi then undisposed of. All lands still open to settlement under the agreement at the end of ten years from the taking ettect of the act should be accepted by the United States at 50 cents per acre, which amounts shall be added to and credited to the Indians as part of their permanent fund. The act provides for furnishing the necessary seed to the Indians for two years, r i . j a. ... " t ior wuicn aueuuaie appropriation is maae. In addition thereto there is to bo set apart the sum of 3.000,000, which is to be deposited in the United States Treasury to the credit of tho Sioux nation of Indians as a permanent fuud. the interest of which, at 5 per cent, per annum, is to be appropriated under the direction of the Secretary of the Inter ior to tne use of tne Indians. After the government has been reimbursed for the money expended for the Indians under the f revisions of th9 act, tho Secretary of tho nterior may in his discretion expend in addition to the interest of tho permanent fund, not to exceed 10 per cent, per annum of the principal of the fund in the employment of farmers and in the purchase of ag ricultural implements, teams, etc.. necessary to assist the Indians in agricultural pursmits. At the end of fifty years the fund is to be expended for the purpose of promoting education, civilization and self-support among the Indians orotherwise distributed among them as Congress may determine. All the new reservations include tho land in the vicinity of tho agencies where tho Indians are now living. Ine land to be thrown open to settlement is not occupied at present by the Indians. The number of Indians in tne reservation is -2,5o7. Tne act provides that the agreement as now entered into must be submitted to Congress at its next session for ratihcatiom. In the event that the agreement is approved, and further legislation is enacted,- the Secretary of the interior will proceed to carry into ellect the provisions of the law. DISEASES OF SWINE. Conclusions of the Commission Appointed by the Agricultural Department to Investigate. Washington, Aug. 7. In December, 1SS8, Commissioner of Agriculture Coleman appointed a special commission for the investigation of epidemic, or rather epizootic, diseases of swine. The commission has j ust completed its report to Secretary Knsky and the following are among the conclusions of the commission: First it is the opinion of tho commission that there are at least two wide-spread epidemic diseases of hogs in this country hog cholera and swine plague. In the opinion of the commission, tho epidemic disease of swine investigated by Dri Billings and Roberts in Nebraska, however seemingly different in the published descriptions, is identical in its specific cause with thediseaso investigated by tho Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, and called by the latter 'hog cholera." As far as onr present knowledge extends, treatment of existing cases is futile. Thero remain, therefore, to be consider! but two alternative means of prevention, quarantine and extermination of infected hogs, with their surroundings, or. on the other hand, some form of preventive inoculation. Some of the tests mailo in Nebraska, under tho direction of Dr. Billings, certainly give promise of great possibilities in this, direction. It 19 the opinion of tho commission, however, that an attempt to produce immunity from hog cholera'' artificially by the use of the living germs of the disease, either through the stomach or through hypodermic inoculation is very objectionable and involves a serious risk of more widely extending the disease and increasing rather than diminishing the enormous losses therefrom. MINOR MATTERS. Efforts to Correct Abuses by Government In dlan Traders. Washington, Aug. 7. To correct any abu3e which may have crept into tho operations of ludiau traders, the Commissioner of Indian Aflairs has issued special agents instructions to carefully ascertain and report as to the general reputation of ail traders for honesty, fair dealing

with the Indians and good influence among

them; to report specifically as to tho quality and sufficiency of tho stock of goods keDt by the trader, whether he deals in articles whose sale is injurious to tho Indians, whetherthe prices are reasonable, and whetherthe trader and his employes are sober, respectable people, whose conduct and examplo among the Indians will tend to elevate the Indians morally and socially, instead of the reverse.

Financial Flurry at the Capital. Washington, Aug. 7. The officials of several prominent banking institutions in this city are just catching breath, after a scare that for several hours one day last week threatened a panic in the local money market. Ono morning a report reached tho treasurer of a Catholic institution that a panic was threatened. He promptly warned the other Catholic institutions, and within two hours, it is said, checks for the full amount of all deposits were presented. These demands were bv no means small. In several Instances the deposits reached 75,000. The bank officials hustled around and scraped the cash together, and before the close of banking hours over $1,000,000 had been paid out. Money is now a little easier, but bank officials are looking for the "tips" that started tho run upon them. Indiana Pensions.

Another Day of Pleasure and Recreation at Eagle Late A Review to Be Held To-Day. Special to the In!ianaxo!is JDurnaL Warsaw, Ind., Aug. 7. Tho day at th Pythian encampment has heen given up chieiiy to pleasure aud recreation, although the regulation routine programme was car ried out. Several now divisious, and u large number of civilians, came in last night and to-day, swelling the crowd tc several thousand. There are three steam ers on Eagle lake, which are kept busj from early morning until late at night carrying pleasure-seekers around thi lake. I here are also about 00 row-hoata on the lake; and the number of lame shouluers ana mistered nanas resulting from rowincr are verr nnnip.rrn Tn tliAGA wkn have nerve enough to get up so early tho iaKB oners an exceuenx attraction to hsu ermen about daylight. The two bands gavo a splendid concert last night, in front of the Eale Hotel. anf this afternoon entertained a large crowd ii, front of the brigade headqnaiters. Mayof Denny, who is Colonel" Denny here, in j neat speech, on behalf of Mrs. Boss and th other ladies at the headquarters, presented each member of the two organizations with a handsome bouquet. A flag-stall" one hundred feet high was raised inCarnahan Pari this morning, and now a large, tri-coloreX Hag of tho order floats over the camp. This afternoon at half past 4 o'clock the Second, Third, Fifth and ixth regiments went t on dress parade, and there was in spectionof the First and Fourth, making i. handsome and imposing spectacle. Very few of the divisions have had any ex perience in camp-life or battalion drill, am' some complaint is heard on account of tha military discipline and tho fatiguo occa sioned by the drilling in the hot sun. Fol lowing was the programme for to-day: Reveille 0:00 a. n Fatigue Call 5:15 a. C Mess Call 0:45 a. u Sick Call 8:00 a. h, Guard Mount 8:30 a. h Division Drill .00 a. it Battalion Drill 10:15 a. xr.

W. & C. railroad makes a round trip between the city auc the camp every half hour, allording easy and convenient transit back and forth. There was a universal call for tho Jour nal this morning, but none arrived until o'clock this afternoon, when they were dis posed of at a "hot-cake" rate. To-morrow will probably bo the biggest day of tho encampment. The crowd will, no doubt, be larger than on any previom. day, and the brigade will bo reviewed by Major-general Carnahan and. stall, together with several brigade commanders of ad joining States and some of the ollicera ot the Supreme Lodge. This afternoon tho Grand Temple of Pythian Sisters of the State is in session if the city, but no report of their proceedings which are necessarily secret, can bo mudd to-night. The man with the hodak" has been nu merously present to-day, catchinc distinguished officers in very unsoldicr-iike atti tildes, "sprawled out lengthwise on tlu grass," and other equally pleasurable positions.
