From the 8th to the 14th inst he lay in- side the Delaware breakwater, held by the violent gale. On Monday with her engines at work she was barely able to prevent going ashore. The crew saw thirty vessels blown ashore and from thirty to thirty-five lives lost. At 3 p. m. Sunday, the 8th, the Centipede anchored inside the breakwater. The wind was then blowing a north east gale and in- creasing. Sunday night the second anchor was let go, but on Monday morning under the force of the gale she began to drag shoreward. She was compelled to remain inside the breakwater until the 14th. Captain Hanson says the sight of the wreckage along the breakwater was heartrending. A fine vessel would drift on the beach, going all to pieces. Her crew, seeking the rigging, would either be washed off or drift about and finally be cast ashore. One magnificent clipper ship, owned by New York parties and valued at $100,000, was driven ashore and entirely destroyed. From Cape Healopen to Slaughter beach, | i | wrecks are thick. ship, four barks, three barges, and driven ashore in 49 hours. Captain Hauson says it is the worst experience he ever had. the Centipede’s passage to Lynn along the coast nearly fifty new wrecks were counted by the crew.

Winnipeg, Sept. 18.—Archdeacon | Reeves, who has labored in the far} north for twenty years, is here, he brings a terrible tale of sw among the Indians. He said: “Two years ago 30 diedof starvation Last winter a large number died. Owing to previous failure to procure game there was a great scarcity of food. It was not so much the general lack of subsistence, but the rabbits were a complete failure.” Reeves told of a case of cannibalism three months ago on the Peace river, the only one he heard of, where one woman kill- ed another. He had seen the wo- man at Fort Vermillion. She said she killed her sister in order to pro- cure meat to keep herself alive. Sometimes the fish in the river fail- ed and intense suffering resulted. Mother and Children Burned. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 17.— As Mrs Fannie Gaba was sitting at atable last evening with her baby inher arms and two other small children near her the baby suddenly upset a coal oil lamp which explod- edin her lap and all four persons Were soon enveloped in flames. Mrs. Gaba ran into the back yard with the baby, but by the time as- sistance reached them both were so badly burned that they died in a short time. The other children were Seriously burned and their recovery is doubtful. Two Men at a Shot. Halifax, N.

Il, Sept. i6—A | few days ago a St. Louis negro nam- Lawrenceville, ed “Slick” came to town and Satur- Bs day afternoon in a quarrel with a white man, attacked him witha knife. The white man escaped, after receiving two wounds, and “Slick” down the street, slashing at Judge Ba the county court, ordered the negro tostop. The negro then attacked the judge, but the judge knocked him down. The negro was then dis- armed and arrested. The blacks determined to rescue the prisoner. A few white men ral- lied around the judge. After a hard fight the negroes were driven back and four of their ringleaders arrest- ed. The prisoners were then plac ed in the county jail, but the ne- groes forced themselves into the jail and rescued the prisoner. Judge Barnes organized the whites and attacked the blacks at the jail. There was a bloody fight, in which pistols, knives and clubs were used. Judge Barnes was cut and shot but his wounds are not fa- tal. Dr. Johnson, Ed. Lamb and three other white men were serious- ly hurt. Two negroes were shot and a half a hundred heads broken. The whites won and the mngleaders were again put in jail and a heavy guard placed around the building. ran everyone he met. 3, 0 A Mine Manager's Terrible End. Pleasanton, Kan., Sept. 17.—N. P.

New Orleans, Sept. 17.—Louise | A Series of Conilicts Between Whites | Shoemaker, a pretty blonde girl of} , 15, disappeared from her parents residence over 2 year ago, and no trace of her could be found until to- day, when Sergeant Kenny hearing that a white girl was kept a prisoner in the rear ofa barber shop on Fe- licity street, kept by Gus Reed, a which locked. As he entered the rear roum he saw the frail form of Miss naked except for a tattered under ; garment. Her tace was as pale as open the door, was sane fear as she rushed toward the sergeant, and, clinging frantically to him cried piteously, “Save me, save me.” Kenny with difficulty per- | suaded her she was now in friendly hands, and the half crazy girl finally became quiet. Assistance was sum- moned, clothing procured and the girl properly cared for. She states | that Reed had kept her locked up for over ayear, subjecting her to constant outrages. Reed was soon arrested and locked up. The girl is much emaciated and apparently | half starved. Arranging a Big Reform Picnic. Nevada, Mo., Sept. 17.—Congress- ;man W. J. Stone and the Hon. J. C.

Cal., Sept. 18.— Japanese papers received by the steamer Faelic to-day places the to- tal number of persons drowned in the floods of August 20, in the city of Wayakayamo and in the towns of Manambro, Nishi-Muro and Picaka at 10,000 and the number of persons receiving relief at 24,424. The riv- Kinokunki swelled from 14 to 18 feet above its normal condition and the embankments above the village of Iwabashi were washed away. Im- mediately the villages and about forty-eight other hamlets were cov- ered with water. On the morning of August 19 an enormous mass of earth fell from the mountains near the village of Tennokawa and stopped the course of the river of the same name, which being already swollen, submerged the village and drowned nearly all the inhabitants. A number of vil- lagers belonging to the Tsujido took refuge in their teniple, which was on high ground, but when the landslide occurred about fifty per- sous were buried alive. A Halt Callea. The Harrison administration has yielded to the strong pressure of public opinion against its pen- sion policy, and has reversed two of its recent rulings intended to dis- tribute the surplus through the Pension Office. One of these rul- ings was intended to allow there rating of all pensions of under four dollars a month. These pensions are largely “family pensions,” given {to families of soldiers who have died from wounds or disease in- j curred in the line of duty in the ser- vice. For each child in the family they increase the regular “total dis- | bility” pension in such cases. This {regular pension is from $8 to $30 a month. The seemingly low rate of under $4. month is over and above |this on each child, and if these per- | sions liad been all illegally rerated, jas wasintended under the ruling, ithe total cost to the government ; would have been very great. Many of them would have dated back 20 years aud the lump sams of $1,000 | to $3,000 in cash would have been illegally paid to many families. The law is plain in its terms. The rul- ing was simply an announcment that these terms were to be disre- garded. The second raling was equally demoralizing. It required only one enlisted ian as a witness to any claims for pension. The administration has done well in thus far abandoning its attempts jin this direction, but it has left un- rescinded others of its rulings that are even more vicious. It still main- tains that it has aright to distribute the surplus among the dishonorably discharged. It still insists that in- juries received in ball playing and other forms of amusement are pen- sioneble; and it has on record at least a dozen other rulings equally absurd and illegal. Until these are rescinded, public opinion will not be satisfied that it is the president's real intention to ; become scrupulous in his adminis- tration of the pension laws. The honesty and patriotism of the coun- try will continue to insist that viola- tion of law for the purposes of par- tisan prodigality is disgraceful to all concerned in it. Mr. Harrison must change his views of the surplus. He was not elected president to distribute it as “largess to the legions.” The reign of fraud and profligacy in the admin- istration of the Pension Office must be checked. It must be taken from under the control of the agents’ ring and put under the control of the law. The bars must be put up. The law must be observed—scrupu- lously observed. The policy of largess must be pursued no further. No one who is not legally entitled to a pension must be imposed as a burden on the labor of the country. the people have called a halt, Mr. President!—St. Louis Republic. An Absolute Cure.
