LOSS OP AN OCEAN STEAMER. The Steamer John Knox Goes Ashore- at Night in a Terrific Ga1e,nml All on Board, Thirty in ' umber, Forfeit in Sign f The first news reached St. Johns, N. F., Tuesday afternoon of an appalling marine disaster that occurred at the southwest point of Channel Harbor, and to the eastward of Cape Kay. Late on Saturday night, shortly after midnight, the inhabitants of the neighboring shore were aroused from their slumber by the sound of a steamship horn. Hastening to the edge of the water, they peered through the darkness, rain and fog to locate the position of the blowing steamer. Presently rockets were observed to shoot up toward the heavens in rapid succession, showing that the unknown craft was in need of assistance. The vessel was only about four hundred yards from land, but the heavy gale and tremendous sea prevented boats being sent to her rescue. Torches and tar-barrels were burned along the bercb,and bells Bounded in order to give the imperiled people an idea of their position, but beyond this it was absolutely impossible to make any attempt to aid the vessel. The signals made on shore could be seen

on board the vessel, and heartrending cries from those in distress were borne in on the gale. About 2:20 q'cUckxtwo hours after the first alarm was given, the ship made a plunge and disappeared beneath the sea. The storm continued till daybreak, when it subsided sufficiently to allow boats to put off to the scene of the night's catastrophe. Plenty of wreckage was found floating about, from which the ill-fated steamer was found to be the John Knox, Captain Brolly, from Glasgow, bound to Quebec, with a cargo of iron, liquors and brick. The bodies of the captain and fifteen of the crew have been recovered. One of tie latter has been identified by a certificate of discharge found in his coat pocket as that of fireman John McGuire. As the steamer had a crew of about thirty, there are over a dozen bodies still missing. The John Knox was an iron steamer of 1,351 tons register, and was built in 1883. She was owned by Neil McLean, of Glasgow.

CRUSHED BY " FALLING WALLS.

tog of Ure by Recent Earthquakes 170 People Killed, in Two Small Towns. A Gaaymas, Mex., special, Saturday night, says: The earthquake of the 3d started a terrible volcanic eruption at Bahispe, destroying Moeteptima. It killed one hundred and fifty persons and ignited thetwoods. There were also twenty persons killed at Oputo by the falling of the buildings. Many people were injured at Granadas and Gusabar, which towns were almost completely destroyed.", ...,,s Another violent earthquake is reported in -the San Jose mountains, forty miles south of Fort Huachuca, in Sonora, Mexico. General Forsyth has sent an exploring party to investigate. A man who has just returned from the Santa Catalina mountains reports the canyons full of water. The water was brought to the surface by the earthquake. This is a great boon for this region, as there are thousands of acres of good farming land at the base ot these mountains which only need water to make them valuable. Another good effect of the earthquake is the opening of two large gold veins, which were discovered in the Santa Catalina mountains at a point where the whole side of the mountain slid down.

MINK DISASTER.

A Disastrous ami Dail!y Kxploaion in a Coal Shaft Near Victoria, U. C One Hundred and Fifty Miners Imprisoned, Many of Whom Will Die Before Aid Can Reach Them. News was received at Victoria, B. C, Wednesday, from Nonaimo of an explosion in ono of the shafts of the

Victoria Coal Company. One hundred and fifty miners were at work in the mine when the explosion occurred, and it is feared that many of them will die before assistance can reach them. Rescuing parties have madeseveial attempts to reach them, but the flames and gases

arising from the mine have thus far

prevented tnem from getting near enough to be of any assistance.

Twelve miners have so far been re

covered, most of tham dead, and all

the others badly injure 1. One man of

a relief party, who attempted to enter

the mine, was suffocated. The families

ot the miners are crowding around the mouth of the pit, crying and praying that the lives of the entombed may be saved. The scenes are heartrending. Many, families will be left entirely destitute.

Hon. W. O. DoPauw Is Stricken with Apoplexy, ami TAvvh but, a Few Honrs Thereafter Brlf Sketch of Ills XJfo. Hon. W. C.DePauw,the capitalist And philanthropist, died at Chicago, Thursday. He was stricken with apoplexy at

the Dearborn station, whither he had gone to take the train for his iiorne at New Albany; He remained unconscious until 11:40 o'clock, when he passed peacefully away. Mr. DePauw, with the excoption of Hon. W. H. lish, was the richest man in Indiana, and of late years was known for his philanthropic bequests to the church and education, his greatest gift being $100,000 toDePauw (the Asbury) University. His son was with Mr. DePauw at the time of his death. His remains were at once taken to New Albany for interment. His unexpected decease casts a gloom not only over his home city, but over the entire State. Washington Charles DePauw was born in Salem, Washington county, Indiana, Jan. 4, 1822. At the age of sixteen he was thrown upon his own resources by the death of his father. He had only a meager education having had as a boy to earn his own

iving. When twenty-one years of age le was elected clerk of Washington

county without opposition, through

ear of apoplexy even at that early age

tie subsequently gave up his sedentary

pursuits and entered actively into busi

ness, ills nrst investment was m a saw

and grist mill, and this proving success

ful, he added mill after mill. With this

he combined farming, merchandising

and banking aud invested largely in the grain trade. At the outbreak of the late war he was one of the most prominent

merchants and bankers in southern Indiana, and was at the same time one of the largest grain dealers in the State,

and his command of means enabled him

to Assist the Go vernment in obtaining

supplies. His patriotism and confidence in the success of the Union armies were such that he also invested largely in

Government securities. The close of

the waT, in consequence of this risk,

ound him an enormouslj' rich man,

probably the richest in the State. He

was then, and had been for a long time,

a resident of New Albany, and for

;wenty years has invested a large poriou of his wealth in encouraging manuactories in that city, his greatest enter

prise being the plate-glass works, which have a national reputation and in which

he has $2,000,000 investeo.

Although for the most of his life a

Democrat and, in 1872, nominated by

the Democrats for Lieutenant Governor

on the same ticket headed by Hendricks,

which honor he declined, Mr. DePauw,

in 1880, went over to the Republican' party, because of its high protective

policy, but during the last five or six years he has been devoting his attention more particularly

o the interests of the Methodist church

and the great university of which he is

the patron. He has expended thousands

of dollars in building churches, endow

ing benevolent institutions in Indiana

and other States, in assisting many

young men to obtain education, and

bunded the DePauw female seminary

in New Albany. In 18S3 he performed

his noblest benefaction the giving of

$100,000 to Asbury university at Green-

castle, in acknowledgment of which the

rustees changed the name to DePauw

university. Mr. DePauw was for many

years a trustee of the State "University and Asbury at the same time. He rep

resented his conference in the Metho

dist general conference of 1872 and 1876.

He is a member of the Masonic and Odd

Fellows orders, beloved and respected in both, as he is in every other relation of

life. He has always been a successful man, and throughout his whole life

valued his religious experience and

work above every body.

The mortal remains of the late W. C.

DePaw were deposited in a vault at New Albany, Monday, there to be specially

guarded until the family definitely de

termines upon the time of interment.

The procession consisted of 2,800 work-

ingmen and fifteen hundred other iti-

zens on foot, besides Odd Fellows, Ala-

sons, DePaw ITniversity cadets, and

others, swelling the number on foot to 6,000, and hundreds of carriages. Bishop

Bowman of St Louis, assisted by ltev. H. J. Tabb and the clergy of New Albany ,conducted the religious services.

The Masons and Odd Fellows read ap-

ropriate selections from the ritual of

their respective orders. A large num

ber of the most prominent people of the State were present. The honorary pallbearers were P. R. Stov, James M.

Haines, Jesse J. Brown, J. F. Gebhart,

New Albany; General A. Ekin, A. T.

Rolph, Louisville; T. P. Haughey,

J. W. Ray, Indianapolis. The

active pall-bearers were selected from

the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities. The casket is of mahogany, lined

with copper, and covered with black

cloth. The mountings are of gold and

silver. The box to receive the casket is

of solid mahogany, varnished and mounted with gold and silver.

FIRES IN HUNGARY.

FIFTEEN WVES LOST. A KalllnR Gives Way ami rreoipiiates Oao Hundred Peopl into the Missi8iiui Ivlver, At noon, Sunday, several thousand people assembled on the river bank, at the head of Lizard street, New Orleans, to witness the baptising of several new converts in tho river by Elder Williams, of Mount Zion Baptist Church (colored), The baptizing was done in the shallow water of a slip bet ween two wharves. Along tho edge of one of tho wharves ran a stout wood railing. Crowded against this railing were between eighty and one hundred white ami colored pcoplo principally children under thirteen years of age. Two thousand people occupied the remaining part of the wharves, and on the jiver several hundred people were viewing the ceremonies from skiffs. In the midst of the baptizing, the pressure against the railing was so great that it gave way and about one hundred people were precipitated into the river. In the descent they struck the skiffs, and some ten or fifteen of these were overturned and their occupants thrown into the water. An indeseribable scene followed. Tho water was alive with struggling and drowning men, women and children, who fought each other Bavagoly for possesion of the overturned boats. One of the dripping victims would drag himself into a boat, only to have it overturned by another

seizing (he gunwale and frantically strug

gling to gain possession of the frail craft.

As the railing went down the people in

the skiffs and on shore were panicstricken, and, for a few minutes, could

do nothing. The more timid of the boatmen plied the paddles and left the scene, while negroes on the bank screamed in terror and filled the air with groans and supplications to God. A few

seconds later a number of the skiffmen forced their frail crafts right into the midst of the people in their eagerness to rescue some of the drowning. These boats were seized by a half dozen peo pie at a time and were quickly capsized.

Cooler-headed men remained out at the edge of the struggling mass, and dre w fifteen or twenty persons from the water. Others were rescued by those on tho wharves, who hold out broken pieces of timber, and still others made

their way to the shallow water between the two wharves. Several, however,

were carried out into the stream and

sank. Seven people are known to have been drowned, and the police place tho number of lives lost, as high as fifteen.

THE ANTI-POVjERTY SOCIETY.

Everybody Anxious to Join Koraurkaule

Suonc Daring the Taking of a Collootion. The New York Academy of Music was jammed Sunday night at the second meeting of the An ti -poverty Society. The crowd was so groat that the doors had to he locked at an early stage of the proceedings and admittance absolutely refused to anyone. In the streets around was a struggling mass of humanity vainly seeking entrance. James Bedpath presided. Henry George spoke overau hour. He scored

the metropolitan press for its hostility to

the society, and explained at length the purpose for which the body was formed. A collection was taken up, but, owing to the crowded condition of the house, but little progress could be made by the collectors. When they returned to the stage Mr. George dropped his contribution into one of the baskets. The action seemed to electrify the house. Those who had not been reached by the collectors threw their silver on the stage as best they could. For four or five minutes money fairly rained on the stage; $200 was picked up from the platform, and $300 was taken up by collectors. The scene was one of the most remarkable ever witnessed in New York,

THE WORLD'S WHEAT CROP,

Many Lives Lost n ml Millions of Dollars'

Worth of Property Iostroyed. Fire atJNagy Koroly,Saturday, destroyed

400 houses. Two thousand people are camping in the fields. Several girls jumped from the windows of a burning

convent and school at Eperies and were killed. Many other inmates are missing. The conflagration at Torocks lasted two hours and destroyed three hundred houses. Four lives were lost. At Rushberg a church and thirty-seven houses were burned. The village of Meregy was almost wholly destroyed. All the public buildings, churches, etc., at Eperies were burned. Even the cemetery was devastated. The, total loss by the fires is placed at $2,500,000. All the Hungarian and many Austrian insurance companios sustained serious losses. The calamities wero due to the prevalence of a sirocco during the whole o the past week, which parched all vegetation throughout that portion of Hungary and rendered everything favorable to the spread of the flames when once started. Rain is now falling, and no further damage is feared.

The United Stales Far in the Lead a "Wheat Producing Country,

aa

Philadelphia Times. Tho Department of Agriculture at Washington has been at some pains to gather from all available sources the figures showing tho wheat crop of the world for 1SS0. Tho table contains no reports from China or Japan, but as the wheat crop of these two countries is comparatively small and never figures in the general wheat trado of the world,

the omission is lnsi rnificant. The total crop is placed at 2,031,822,285 bushels. As this estimate covers the total wheat supply of not less than 1,000,000,000 of people it will he seen that the average per capita consumption of wheat allowed for does not exceed two bushels. In several countries the wheat production

falls far below that amount, as in India,

for instance, which has become a prominent wheat exporting country. Its two hundred million of population are credited with only 258,000,000 bushels of. wheat, or about one and a quarter bushels per capita. Of the wheat-growing countries our own is far and away in advance of all others. With ier than sixty millions of population, ouv . aeat crop for last year was 457,000,000 or about eight bushels per capita. The average per capita consumption in the United States for a number of vears has been, four and a half-bushels, or the equivalent of one barrel of flour, thus leaving of last year's production three and one half bushels per capita for seed and export. The yield for 188 6 ."was by no means exceptionally largo, scarcely an average, perhaps, the yield once during the present decade having risen to 520,000,000 bushels. While in the aggregate our wheat yield is at least a good third greater than that of any other country in the world, when we come to compare the yield per acre with some other countries we haven't much to be proud of. The average yield per acre in 1886 was nob far from twelve bushels, while in Great Britain for the same year it was a trifle under twenty-seven bushels, and in 1885 upwards of thirty-

one ousness. iiaa our wnean acreage been as prolific as that of Great Britain last year,the yield would have exceeded one thousand million bushels, or one half the total product of the world, instead of a little more than one quarter, as at present. This comparison shows the capabilities of the United States as a wheat growing country, when our farmers shall arrive at the conclusion that it will be more profitable to make two bushels of wheat grow where only one grew before, than to double the yield by doubling .the acreage. Although positive statistics are not at hand to substantiate the assertion, it is probable that the consumption per capita of wheat is as high in the United States as in any country except France and Great Britain. It has not reached its highest point yet by any means, as in the South and Southwest Indian corn forms a

much larger proportion of the daily food of the people than it will when the farmers of those sections increase the fertility of their soils and give mre attention to wheat growing, as they are certain to do in the future.

Union Labor Party. The executive committee of the Union Labor Party held a conference at Indianapolis Tuesday for the purpose- of perfecting a plan for National, State and local organizations. The committee is com posed of T. M. G ruelle and J. F. McDonald of Indianapolis; Charles Jonkins, of Ohio, and W. H. Bobb, of Iowa, Colonel Jesse Harper, of Illinois, was present, also, to participate in the deliberations. Mr. Gruelle says that the purpose of the meeting was not, as has been published in various papers, to consider the status of the Henry George element of the party, and eliminate it if possible. If the followers of Mr. George can hon

orably subscribe to the platform of prin

ciples of the new party, they, and all others of like belief will be gladly welcomed. These principles are by no means the same as those advocated in the so-called "Clarendon-hall platform," on which Mr. George made his campaign for the mayoralty of New York. " We propose to go on with our own organization," said Mr. Gruelle, "and perfectit,if possi

ble. The fact its that the party has grown so since its inception as to make active measures in this direction absolutely necessary. Within sixty days after the Cincinnati convention we had

900,000 members, ana now 1 tmuK we have fully 1,200.009. We are particularly strong in Kansas, Nebraska and other western states, and will cut a very prominent figure in the national campaign next jTear. We propose to be entirely independent of the old party organizations and will consider no propositions looking toward coalition or fusion." Colonel Harper says that the Henry George element will not be recognized as such by the Union Labor party, and if they want to organize a national party on the isolated land theorv of Mr. George they can do it.

The new party also proposes to shut out the socialistic element if it can bo done. Mr. Harper's opinion is that the old parties will iiominate Cleveland and Sherman, and that the new party will carry Kan$;as3 Nebraska and several other states.

The 'Fisheries Question . Secretary Bayard has sent to Minister Phelps, at London, it is said, a copy of the proposed treaty with England on the fisheries question. The treaty calls for the appointment of a mixed commission to asree upon the limits which shal separate the exclusive from the common right of fishi ng off the coasts of the British North American colonies; to agreo upon regulations to secure to the fishermen of the United States the privilege of entering bays and harbors for the purpose of shelter, for repairs, aud of purchasing wood and water, and to agree upon penalties for the violation of such privileges. Pending a definite arrangement, Great Britain agrees to instruct Canadian officials not to molest fishing vessels of the United States unless they are found actually fishing within three miles of the coast. Both governments agree to send each to the Gulf of St. Lawrence a national vessel, and also one each to cruiise during the fishing season on the southern coast of Nova Sco tia, To Evangelize Chicago. Mr, D. L. Moody at the meeting, Monday, of the Presbyterian clergy, detailed his project of city evangelization. On a lot at the corner of Ohio and St. Clair streets he proposes to erect a training school for women city missionaries. The young men will be provided elsewhere. Mr. Moody has $250,000 subscribed for the purpose, $50,000 of which will go into tho building and $200,000 will be invested as an endowment. Tho school will accommodate at least 100 girls.
