McLachlin was launched, and during this proceeding an accident occurred, tho exact results of which cannot now be told. Tho steamer Forbes was lying in a slip into which the schooner plunged, on her upper deck being about a dozen men and boys. The sudden doscent of the boat caused the steamer to careen, and when she recovered her keel the shock broke the rail and threw the massof straggling psopleinto the water. They fell amid broken ice and planks that had been carried down by the schooner. As soon as possible the work of rescue began, and in live minutes the following had been taken from tho water: George Doyle, auklc broken, head badly cat; Frank Babcock, left arm and leg broken, injured about body, probably fatally; William , Rallzill, cut about face and hands; Leo McCauley and William McLean, injured about hands and feet by ice; Jerome Frozcr and Joseph Clark, cnt by ice. Lye witnesses of the accident were positive that there were more people under the ice, and o diver was sent down tothe bottom of the river.

If anyone was drowned the current has carried the bodies out under the ice into the river and recovery is impossible now. Three hats, whose owners could not be found, were recovered from the water. It is not known whether thoy were left by people in a hnrry to get to a warm pi nee or belong to some unfortunates whose bodies are now in the water.

The Republic Again in the Throes of RevolutionAbdication of the President. ' New Orleans, March 2. A gentleman of this city has received a letter from Honduras bringing the information that that country is again in a state of revolution. It seems that the conntry has again been invaded by Folicsrpo Bonilla and his friends in the southern part of the republic. 'The first overt act of the revolutionists was directed by Gen. Manuol Bonilla, who was prominent in the last revolution, and was recently pardoned by the Hondnran government and his life spared. Gen. Bonilla attacked the barracks at Jnticalpain Olanche, Feb. 13, and captured the entire garrison and its arms.

The lady, when interviewed, declared that she had been offered largo bribes, bnt wonld not betray Arton, with whom she has been in constant communication.

At tho same tune she I expressed surprise at the anxiety , to f arrest him, as ho possessed papers which would greatly embarrass tho authorities.'7 Rioters KillocV by Gendurrne.t. Vienna. March 2.

CLEVELAND AT TOE CAPITAL. (Concluded from First Page. hard-boiled eggs to the incoming public. Truckloads ot cots and mattresses have beenstandingin front of hotel doors to-day. Even privato boarding houses have made arrangements to make live persons sleep iu ouo room. Despite all the efforts that havo been made by the local committees for the comfort and convenience of visitors, it is already apparent that many hundreds of visitors will be unable to find accommodations. The brilliant weather which has thus far blessed this week is generously ascribed by Uncle Jerry Busk, not to his own machinations, but to the Cloveland lues. Tho Weather Bureau has predicted rain for Friday and a cool temperature and clear sky for Saturday. Memories of the driving tempest of four years ago have caused tho builders of nearly all tho atauds which line Fennsylvania avenue to cover them with roofs. . The fakir is here in all his glory. He is of various ranks. Ho sells everything to tho passing crowds, from reserved seats on the stands to roosters, brooms and portraits of Baby Kuth. A few enternrisiug boys are trying to sell the surplus stock of Harrison and Morton badges which were prepared for the Minneapolis convention. The continued popularity of Fresident Harrison is bhown by an enterprising photographer, who recently secured a falllength negative of the retiring chief magistrate. He has made a large number of these photographs, and is selling them at good round prices without having to hawk them about tho streets. The mile of FeDnsylvania avenue which stretches from the marble front of the Capitol to the granite pillars ot the Treasury bnilding is one blaze of buntiug. Many of the decorations are unique. In one shop window there appears the shield of Undo Sara Hanked by a twine of national flags, which are kept lluttering by an electric fan. Another window is filled with decorated whisk brooms, labeled "The clean sweep of l2." The windows of the jewelry shops display sonvenir spoons, showing Baby Ruth opening the curtains of her dainty boudoir and decorations with portraits of Mrs. Cleveland. Crude daubs, snpposed to represent the new Fresident and his wife, are, of course, displayed upon tho front of almost every business building. In the departments foresighted clerks have already hung lithographs of Mr. Cleveland over their desks. The saloons of Washington are reaping a golden harvest from the visiting Democrats. 1 he law of the District, which forbids the sale of liquor after midnight, is a dead letter. Bourbon whisky can be bought anywhere at any hour. Tho saloonkeepers expect to keep their places open on Sunday. All of the prominent barrooms display signs that they are the headquarters of this or that district organization uf Tarn man j'. Eight special trains, bearing more than three thousand Tammany braves, reached Washington this evening over the Fennsylvanla and the Baltimore & Ohio railroads. Their passengers were, for the most part, well aresscd and made an impressive appearance as they marched to their various headquarters. In fact, a general order has been issued by the Tammany chiefs requiring their followers to keep their shoes polished, their trousers creased and their hats ironed. Two tailors and hat-polishers are a part of their camp followers. These eflorts toward cleanliness and respectability quite astounded the Southern Democrats with long hair and slouch hats, and the untamed visitors from the far West who had expected to eee every Tammany brave armed with a tomahawk in one hand aud a whisky flask in the other. Nevertheless, it is with an obviously painful effort that Mr. Crokers cohorts are maintaining poaceful relations with the local police. Up to this time four members of President-elect Cleveland's Cabinet have arrived in the city, the latest to eome being Hon. J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, who reached the city at a late hour and took apartments at the Arlington. Those now here are: Hon. John G. Carlisle, Hon. Daniel S. Laraont, Hon. Hilary A. Herbert and Mr. Morton. Messrs. Olney. Bissell and Smith are expected in the city to-morrow, but Jndge Gresham is not looked for until next week. Vice President-elect Stevenson was on the floor of the House to-day. He is entitled to admission as an exmember. When he was recognized be received a hearty weloome. The roll wes being called at the time, but there was a noisy interruption to the monotonous voice of the clerk. Mr. Stevenson held a reception in tho rear of the chamber. MRS. CLEVELAND'S HALL DRESS. The "First Lady of the Land' Will Not Assist in Spreading; the Iioop-Sktrt Craze. Nkw York, March 2,Keferring to the dress Mrs. Cleveland is to wear at the inaugural ball a morning paper saye: "The great gown has been completed for weeks. The material is a heavy silk, rich in coloring, but delicate in design. Mrs. Cleveland has selected a combination of colors m which hydrangea shades are predominant. The skirt is very simple, gored and quite full at the bottom with a round train. Many women will be struck with the simplicity of the gown. The corsage is only medium low, with wide bretelles and the dropping shoulders that have recently come iu. 'It is thoroughly American. Tho enriosity to know if tho President's wife would appear in crinoline at the ball can be set at rest. Tho skirt of the gown she wears will be well stiffened with crinoline, but there aro no wires aud no hoop-skirt accompaniments. "Next in importance to Mrs. Cleveland comes tho Vico President's wife, Mrs. Stevenson, who has selected for tho inauguration ball a pretty combination of cream aud heliotrope, and the materials are moire antique and velvet. The skirt and corsage are of cream moiro. About tho foot of the skirt is a narrow arrangement of heliotrope velvet. The corsaue is decollete, with large butterily purled sleeves of heliotrope velvet. The top of the corsage is covered with a .rich bertha of. rare old duchess lace and a garland of violets outlines tho bertha. Shu will wear no jewels with this costume, and the Suede, gloves and the fan will match the heliotrope velvet" Hoko Smith, on the Way. Atlanta, Ga.t March 2. Hon.

Precisely tho same form observed in tho registry of the 6teamship City of New York (now New York) last week, was employed iu the iasuauce of the papers making Philadelphia the home port of the Paris, as she will hereafter be known. lllood Brotherhood in Af. ica. A. J. M. Jephgon, in London Graphic I made blood-brotherhood with Majomboni. It is a custom which prevails throughout Africa, aud it is the only compact which the natives understand and keep. The ceremony varies in dili'oreut countries. In this country it was a peculiar one, and I therefore record it. Surrounded by our men and by many hundreds of his warriors. Majombom and I squatted down on a mat in front of Stanley's tent, with onr knees locked round each other's waists. Three deep inoUions were made on the inside of our knees I Lear the marks of them to this day until tho blood trickled freely. Salt and rancid butter were rubbed in, our blood was mixed together and Majoinboni licked my blood and I his. All the timo that this operation was going on wo had to rub each ether's ribs violently. Majomboni'sface was a study of solemn gravity, but 1 myself could not help laughing, for ho tickled so. When tho ceremony was finished Majoinboni put one of his iron bracelets upon my wrist, and I placed oue upon his, the medicine men meanwhile running round ns in a circle, calling down tho most blood-curdling curses on our heads if either should break the compact hereafter. So Majoinboni and 1 are blood-brothers for .life! If he comes to Europe I am bound to do the best 1 can for him, and if I return to bis country he will havo to give me tho fattest of sheep.the ripest of bananas, and the most succulent Indian corn. He has also to provide me with a hut to live in. and 1 rather fancy a wife is included in the bargan. but of this I am not quite cortain. - Where "Vanity Fair" Was Written. Chambers's Journal. In 1847 Thackeray went to live in Young street, and once pointing out the bow-windowed cottage to au iuquiring friend, is said to have remarked: "Go down on your knees, you rogue, for hero 'Vanity Fair was penned, and 1 will go down with you, fori have a high opinion of that little pro duction myself." Here he also wrote "Esnionde," and one of the houses close by, in Kensington square, has been chosen as the home of Lady Castlewood and Beatrice. In 18&i Thackeray removed from Onslow square, where "Tho Newcomes" and "The Virginians" bad been composed, to the house he had built himself in Falace Green, still remaining in the old court suburb with its leafy trees and gardens, to which be was so much attached. Here it was that the completion of "Denis Duval" was out short by his lamented death in the following year. m m How to Remedy Municipal Corruption. Anonymous Writer, In the March Fornm. The only remedy for municipal corruption is to elect no mau to office who is not freo from debt. Moral reputation is a flimsy security for conduct: financial competence is a very good security1 indeed. A man out of debt aud with a bank account, eveu a small one, is not likely to be corrupted. Corruption involves slavery to the corrupter, and all men love freedom. The most venal man living prefers at the last moment to be able to vote as he pleases. The private circumstances of nominees should, therefore be a matter of publio discussion. When State and municipal legislatures are composed entirely of men whose incomes habitually exceed their expenses the probfem of corruption will be nearly solved. o Greene County's Kzp;rienoe. Bloomfie'.d ilr.d.) News. Away back in the fifties Bland killed Walker with n knife, in Highland township. He was promptly arrested, tried and hanged near where the liloomiield depot now is. And that stopped murdering in this county for about twenty years. In the last twenty-two years there have been thirteen murders, no hanging and no one severely punished. We are not at all hardhearted nor blood thirsty; but we believe that when a man purposely and maliciously takes the lifo of his follow-man, he should bo hanged without d-lay. Ono toon's lite is as sweet as another. If it takes hanging to top murder in this county, we say mak an example of the next man that purposely kills. A Rude Man. Texas Siftings.
