An excursion Steamer t.uailrd with Colored Pleasure-Seekers Collides with u linker bridge on St. Augustine Creek. Near Savannah, (in., with Uinstrotta Result*. Savannah, Ga., July 21.—The excursion steamer St. Nicholas, having on board a party of colored excursionists, came into collision with a closed drawbridge over St. Augustiue creek, four miles south of this city, last night. The forward part of tho steamer was demolished. The party on board numbered five hundred. Two women were killed outright, and thirty others, men, worneu and children, were injured. Some are believed to be fatally hurt. The pilot of th'e boat says ^t he signaled the bridge-tender to open the draw, but that he paid no attention to it, and did not signal that the draw was closed until the St. Nicholas was only a short distance from the bridge, when it was too late to stop the boat. Every thing possible was done to avoid the accident. The steamer’s engines were reversed, but the momentum of the boat could not be checked. The pilothouse and upper deck were carried away, and the hurricaue deck crashed down on the people below, burying them uuder its weight. The steamer was headed about and returned to this city, where the wounded received medical attention. Great excitement prevailed among the colored people when the news of the accident spread, and thousands of anxious friends lined tho wharf.

JEALOUS FRENZY. A Ru*»l»n Jew's Frcmy lnprlii Him to Nuriler Hu W|i> an the Street In Philadelphia—Two Other fwoiiu Wounded l>T Mr»T Shot*. Philadelphia, July 21.—About seven o’clock last night Max Lee, a Russian Jew, living at No. 42!) Spruce street, a jeweler by trade, shot his wife at the corner of Seventh and Bainbridge streets. It appears that 1-eo in a fit of jealousy followed his wife down Bainbridge street aud, on reaching Seveuth street, pulled out a revolver and fired at her, the ball striking her in the breast. She rushed screaming into the store of Samuel Cutchinski, on the corner, followed by Lee, who fired three more shots, one striking his wife, another wounding Culchinski in the stomach, aud the other wounding Mrs. Culchinski in the hand. A crowd collected aud Lee was disarmed, and the police called a patrol wagon and took the wounded parties to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Mrs. Lee died before reach* ing there., Mr. Culchinski’s wound being dressed.he was able to go home, but Mrs. Culchinski remained at the hospital. It appears that Lee is of a very jealous disposition, and has been watching and following his wife whenever she left the house. It is said there was not the slightest cause for it, as Mrs. Lee was in every way correct aud a very industrious woman. They have three children, a boy aged nine, and two daughters, aged respectively eleven and sixteen. Lee was arrested aud taken to the station Rouse, and Mrs. Lee’s body has been Aiken in charge by the corouer. TWENTY MILES OF RUIN. Another Broken Inn Parries Destruction In the Path of Its Release*! Waters for Twenty Miles Down the Dorking Valley, Bat rortauBlely Without lou of lie man Life. Lancaster. O., July 21.—One of the most disastrous storms ever known in the Hocking Valley culminated Saturday in the breaking of Sharp’s dam at Sugar Grove, on the Hocking canal. The dam held in store a large body of water that supplied the lower levels of the canal. The heavy ralus had filled the reservoirs to the banks wUaiLSuddenly the dam gave way. and with(a mighty roar the sea of water went ontSihrough the valley, taking with it every> movable object. For twenty miles tne soil is plowed up. Trees, fences, crops and hundreds of head of live stock haTe been swept away. No lives were lost, because the people had taken warning, and because the bonses are sit uated on the bluff that overlooks the Talley. But the canal for miles is a wreck, and thousands of feet of railroad track are washed away. At Athens, the Cincinnati, W ashington & Baltimore and Hocking Valley railroad tracks are carried away, and trains will be delayed several days. Roads and •bridges are annihilated, and the whote valley for miles looks like a dry-water course. Competent judges place the lost in the hundreds of thousands. Uoadley Meant Business. Cleveland, O.. July 21.—At Edgerton, CX. yesterday morning, Hiram Hoadley shot his wife and her father, a farmer named Newman, and then killed himself. Hoadley’s wife had applied for a divorce, and was living with her parents. Hoadley lay in wait for her as she went to the barn to milk the cows, and shot her down In the barn-yard. Newman, hearing the report of the pistol, ran to his daughter’s assistance, and received a bullet in the breast Hoadley then went to the bouse and tried to kill his wife’s mother and sister, failing in which he returned to the barn-rard, lay down beside his wife’s body and pat a bnllet in his own head. He had three revolvers. fat Suicide at an A*cd Couple at Rockford. lit Roestone, 111., July 21.—J.

When the Indianapolis candidate or the Presidency, lost fail, received i delegation of the horny-handed type, ent to him by some proteoted manuactarer to produce the impression hat there was but one friend of the rorkiog-man, and Ben Harrison was iis name, he usually read them a lomily on the direful consequences of illowing the pauper labor of Europe o come into competition with them, t was only by putting the Republican lany back into power that the toil>rs of America could be saved from he ruinous competition of ohcap laion beyond the sea In his letter of kdflbptanoe he dwelt with particular imphasis on the necessity of some inpection of and limitation to immigraion, stating that the day of the immigration bureau had gone by. He was ■ery omphaAic about the awful results if the oom|ptition of the products of Vmerican shops in the American martets, without favoring duties, with he products of oheafl foreign labor. v •Sufeh competition,” he said,' “will ooh reduce wages here to thb level of nose abroad, and when that ra&dition s reached we will not needrany .law orbidding th§*importation of laborers tnder contract.” Such competition is m opr shores already, and there is no secessity for the importation of laborirs under contract, for the protected nanufacturers can get all the pauper abor of Europe he wants ready at land without having to send for it. The flood of immigration has set in his-summer with a force that threatms to surpass all previous records, rhe steerage of every steamer coming o this country is tilled with the pauper abor of Europe, and in Liverpool and Queenstown there are not accommolations for the vast numbers bound 'or the protected home of American nduatrv.

Austrian Government appears to dread ;ho depopulation of Hungary. Over two-thirds of those immigrants may t>e classed under the general head »f laborers, as they are without trade or occupation. Hence, when the Ca negies and other friends of American industry undertake to reduce wages to the starvation point, their betrayed employes must either submit to it or go on strike, with the certainty that their places will bo filled by the ever-increasing continent of the pauper labor of Europe jflLthis country. The beautiful theor^Wtho protection of American labor, so eloquently set forth by Republican orators in and out of Congress last year, has failed to materialise. With the markets of the world effectually closed against us by a prohibitive tariff, and our own markets over-stocked, with trusts controlling the production and output of every thing, and thousands of pauper laborers ready to step into the places of American workiug-mon. the roseate visions of protection have assumed a decidedly glowing aspect. The Italians and Hungarians are willing to work for wages that an American could not support his family on without descending to the frightful level of those pauper laborers. Such is protection.—Albany (N. Y.) Argus. POLITICAL OPINIONS. -Mr. Butterworth may speak 01 the South as "a man in a fever,” but he is inaccurate in so expressing himself. The “fever” is only the heat from the blast furnaces which are giving cheaper iron to the over-bur-dened people of the United States.— Louisville Courier-Journal. -The appointment of William Walter Phelps to represent the country at Berlin shows that Mr. Harrison Is anxious to impress the Germans with American elegance. As a type of American elegance, with its hair parted in the middle, William IV alter is a pronounced success.—Detroit Free Press. -—Mr. Robert P. Porter’s claim that he has been an earnost advocate of protection ever since he was old .enough to have any opinions is controverted by the Albany Argus, which calls attention to an article written by Porter for tho Galaxy Magazine of December, 1877, wherein be expresses unmistakable free-trade sentiments. -As if it were not enough that all of President Harrison’s relatives, comrades and partners should be provided with offices, the cronies and chums of his son and the sons of his Cabinet officers are now coming in for plums from the patronage tree. If Charles Sumner were alive what material he would have for a philippic against nepotism! Plumb knew his party. ••Public office is a private snap."—N. '.

Clarkson and Tanner are sen of action.—Philadelphia Record. -One proof of the advance of tho Jemocratic party on tho line of tariff eform is furnished in the attitude of issldents within the party lines, who [uarreled with the evasive platform f 1884 because of Its protective leanngs. and who now insist upon the redoption of that platform for 1892. iven the laggards are unwillingly sarching forward, drawn by the sovement of the masses in the right irection.—Philadelphia Record.
