A VESSEL SUNK.
< Steamer Anchored in New York Harbor Is
.••truck by Ico and Sinks.
The British steamer Wells City, while
anchored oil pier 56, Thursday, was
struck by a heavy held of ice coming
down the river on the outgoing tide,
which caused her to drag anchor. She
had no steam on and was helpless. She
drifted a mile and a half, until she ran
broadside on the bow of the Morgan line
steamer Lone Star, which was also at an
chor in mid stream. The cut-water of
the Lone Star struck the Wells City just
abaft the engine room and cut a hole in
her large enough to admit a two-horse
truck, and she sank in twenty minutes.
Those on board escaped in their own
boats. The Lone Star had all she could
do to save herself, but finally got up
steam and ran behind a pier. She suf
fered only a few hundred dollars’damage.
The Wells City is a new vessel, valued at
$150,000, and had a cargo valued at
$140,000, both fully insured on the other
side of the Atlantic. The Wells City’s
masts and smoke-stack are visible above
the water, opposite Christopher street.
LOCKOUT AT PHILADELPHIA.
Monday morning the Clothing Ex
change of Philadelphia, Fa., carried out
its threat and the Clothing manufactur
ers composing that body closed the doors
to cutters who are Knights of Labor.
1 tie latter are defiant, and are determined
to fight the employers to the end. The
lockout throws 1,000 cutters out of em
ployment and fully ten times that num-
Der of others who depend on them for
employment.

A BIG FIRE IN MOBILE.
Property Considerably Damaged—One Man
Killed and Olliers Missing,
A fire at Mobile, Ala., Monday morn
ing destroyed the wholesale drug house
of M. T. Sprague & Co., at No. 14 N.
Water street. The building and stoek
are a total loss. The loss on the build
ing is $8,000; insured for $5,000, and on
stock $20,000; insured for $12,000. Ad
joining buildings were slightly damaged.
A. Barnstein & Co’s stock of boots and
shoes was damaged considerably by
water, and is insured for $7,500. Dur
ing the progress of the fire, the rear wall
of the Sprague building fell upon the
two-story brick next east and broke in
the roof and walls, which fell upon a
number of men engaged in removing a
stock of liquor therefrom, belonging to
James McDonnell. The heavy barrels
and mass of brick which fell covered Mr.
McDonnell and killed him instantly.
i Mr. McDonnell was head of the firm of
. wholesale grocers of that name doing a
! large business for a number of years on
! Commerce street. Frank McLarny, mem
■ her of the same firm, was seriously but
1 not fatally injured. Others are thought
' to be under the mass of brick.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
I A shock of earthquake about 4 o’clock
, Sunday morning is reported from St.
Louis, Springfield, Terre Haute and else
! where. It appears to have been very
I generally felt throughout central and
Southern Illinois, and Indiana, Dis
patches from twenty different points give
substantially the same account as to hour
and duration of shocks. No damage
done at any place as far as heard from.
SOUTHERN ITEMS.
NEWS NOTES GATHERED
FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The parties to the robbery of Mr. Elli
son’s house, in Fairfield county, have
been caught. The nurse and three of her I
friends are the guilty ones. They arc all .
in jail now, having been incarcerated I
after a preliminary hearing before Trial I
Justice Catheart. The money was recov- I
cred. The jail is rapidly filling up as i
court approaches,
A company of twelve men from Illinois
have leased for a term of years the gold
mine of Frank Anderson, in the Willing
ton neighborhood near Abbeville. The
lease was entered into after a personal in
spection sf the mine by two of the party.
The company has sufficient capital to de
velop the mine, and from all accounts
they will get rich at the business.
Mr. J. J.®Goodwin, who lived near
Scranton, was killed in a very singular
manner. He was hauling timber
with two oxen, when one of the wheels
of his wagon struck a stump. He went
to the tongue of his wagon to guide it so
as to let the wheel of the wagon clear the
stump, and while thus engaged the oxen |
started off, and, before he could get out
of the way, the piece of timber ttiat he ;
was hauling caught his leg between a log
that was lying on the ground, aud liter
ally peeled the flesh off to the bone.
Medical aid was summoned as soon as
possible, but before relief could be ren
dered he bled to death.
An inquest was held in Greenville on
the body of Echo Kilgore, an old colored
man from Arkansas. He was once a tan
ner in the city, but went to Arkansas
several years ago in the hope of bettering
his condition. It appears from the evi
dence before the coroner that on his way
home he was thrown or fell from a train
on the AVestern and Atlantic road near
near Lily Pond, Ga., on Friday, the 14th
of January. Who he reached Greenville
he was in a semi-unconscious condition,
and he never gave any explanation of his
misfortune. It is thought there was foul
play, and the case has been committed to
Captain A. Blythe, who will investigate
the matter.
Robert Jones, colored, a convict from
Richland county, was killed while work- i
ing on the Columbia canal by the caving
in of an embankment. Jones was ,
digging out the earth from the foot of
the embankment and had dug in until he
had made a cave in the bank. Suddenly
the mass of earth above gave way and |
descended upon the unfortunate work- |
min, burying him alive. The other con
victs immediately went to the rescue and
dug away the earth as fast as possible,
but when the man was found he was I
dead, having been horribly crushed and \
mangled, besides having been under j
ground a sufficient length of time to have j
been suffocated to death. Twenty-two
months ago Jones was convicted of bur
glary and larceny and sentenced from |
Richland county to five years in the pen
itentiary. This is the second fatal acci
dent of the kind which has occurred on
the canal in the past six months.
NORTH CAROLINA.
A board of aidermen of Goldsboro held
a special meeting last week and decided '
to take immediate steps towards giving
Goldsboro an adequate system of water- ■
works.
Rev. Wm. A. McDonald, who has
served a pastor of Philadelphia Presby
terian church, of Mecklenburg county,
continuously for the past twenty-two
years, died suddenly of heart disease, at
the old Morris homestead.
The news from the fishermen in the
Albemarle and Pamlico sounds section is '
that the catch’ of fish is large. Herrings
were never so abundant thus early in the
season, and white shad of large size are !
being caught in great numbers.
A bold robbery was committed on Bull
creek, Madison county, on Tuesday night.
The stores of John Bruce and .Merritt
White were broken into and robbed of
money and goods. Bruce recovered
about SIOO worth of l.is goods, finding
them hid under a rock cliff in the- moun- ,
tains about three miles distant fium the
store. No clue to the thief.
Henry Artis, colored, was recently
sentenced to be hanged at Goldsboro, for
the murder of bis stepdaughter. He is '
in a dreadful condition of mind. He is I
to be hanged the first Friday in March.
He says b<- was drunk at the time he beat
out the girl's brains. He cries and screams
ceaselessly, and it is thought may die of |
grief aud fright before the day of execu
tion.
Don’t always search for the serious
side of thing-. The man who has no
eye or car for the ludicrous is un un
happy mortal. Next to virtue, the fun
in the world is what we caa least snare.
THE COTTON REPORT.
The Quality of the Staple is Reported Su
perior. The Price of Seed is Low.
The final report of the cotton crop for
1886 shows the average date of closing
the picking season, the proportion of
the crop marketed on the Ist of Feb
ruary, the quality of the staple, price of
seed, and the estimated product com
pared with that of 1885.
The close of picking is reported the
same as last year in the Carolinas and
Texas; one day earlier in Mississippi;
two days later in Georgia and Louisiana:
four in Tennessee and twenty-one in Ar
kansas. The dates are: North Crrolina,
December 2d; South Carolina, Novem
ber 30th; Georgia, December Ist;
Florida, November 27th; Alabama. De
cember 2d; Mississippi, December 7th;
Louisiana, December 12th; Texas, De
cember 3d; Arkansas, December 15th,
The late maturing of the crop extended
the season slightly in a few' states. Only
in Arkansas was the season lengthened
by inability to pick the heavy harvest
earlier.
Up to February 1, 1885, about 5,500,-
000 bales had gone from the plantations.
This would indicate a crop of about 6,-
400,000 bait's, a mere trifle above the
November indications of the rate of
yield.
The proportion by states are as fol
lows: North Carolina, 87; South Caro
lina, 88; Georgia, 85; Florida, 83; Ala
bama, 87; Mississippi, 84; Louisiana,
83; Texas, 80; Arkansas, 81; Tennessee,
83.
The quality of the crop is super ior.
Rarely, if ever, have the returns of
cleanness and color combined with the
length of staple, equaled these just re
ceived.
The price of seed is low. Complaint
is made of combinations of oil millers
to reduce the prices. Renters will sell
at any price, sometimes as low as live
or eight cents per bushel. The best
planters refuse to sell at ruling rates.
The average in Mississippi and Louis
iana is ten cents, eleven in Arkansas,
twelve in Texas and Tennessee, thirteen
in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
and sixteen in Florida. Feeders of cat
tle and sheep jray the highest rates.
The product is larger than last year in
Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas and
Texas and smaller in other states. The
average result from a careful analysis of
the present returns, is an aggregate less
than two per cent lower than that of last
year.
WAS NOT HURT.
A Y outh Niue Vcars of Age Walks off a More
inir Train.
On board the Panhandle fast train
Thursday were Mrs. T. Andrews, of
Newport, Ky., with four young children.
On reaching Zenia al five o'clock she
roused from a doze to find that her boy,
Charley, nine years old, was missing.
The train was searched without finding
him. The mother was frantic with fear,
for it was supposed he had fallen off. A
locomotive was procured and the con
ductor and a passenger boarded it to
search for the boy. It was very dark,
but a strong light was placed ou the en
gine, and, moving slowly, the searchers
looked carefully on both sides of the
track, expecting to find a mangled body.
But to their surprise, after going about
eight miles, they found the child, with
out a scratch or bruise, crouched in a
fence corner, wailing for da',light. He
could give no explanation, and is sup
posed to have valked off the train in his
sleep. The mother broke down when a
telegram told her he was found and un
hurt.
A NEW VOLCANO IN RUSSIA.
The inhabitants of Baku, the centre of
the great Russian petroleum wells, have
been much alarmed over a subterranean
explosion, which shook houses and caused
considerable damage. At the same time
a volcano burst out at Lokbaian, t n
miles distant from Baku. For two nights
the volcano threw a column of fire and
mud 300 feet high, illuminating the
country for miles around. The mud
emitted during the eruption already lies
from seven to fourteen feet deep over a
full square mile of territory.
The Beginning of the End.
The beginning of disease is a slight debility
ord sorde- of som ■ of the vital organs, the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows ti.voy and un
hea.thy looking, there are pains in the right
■■ <i •or t.hrou h the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an mt' r pr-etration of the
physical energies, perhap-a fatal issue. But
it the difficulty is m. t. in time with Hostetler’s
Stomach Bitters, ,i h•» always effic.ive as
a remedy, and it stoaid be resorted to at an
early s age, there will be co rea-on to appre

other malarial complain than quinine and
other potent drugs, whi' h. even when they do
prove ede< teal for a time, ruin th- stoma.h
and impair the general health.
