A SAD FOURTH OF JULY EXCUR
SION.
sinking of a Steamer, and Lou of
Nnny Live*.
Pittsburg, July 4.—Intelligence
has just been received here that the
steamer Sciota, with an excursion par
ty on board, collided with the tow
boat near Mingo Junction, Ohio.—
One hundred persons were reported
drowned.
Wheeling, W. Va., 2 a. m., July 5,
—It is impossible to ascertain at this
hour the number of persons drowned
by the sinking of the excursion steam'
er Sciota, nfter the latter had been in
collision with the steam-tag Jno. Lo
mas, near Mingo Junction, Ohio, last
night Capt. Thomas' son Dan is
missing. A deck hand, name un
known, was drowned from the Sciota.
The rest of the crew are safe, the first
man taken out ot the water being
Chas. McCoy, watchman. The Lomas
struck the Sciota on the port side, 15
feet from her bow, and made a large
hole through which the hull filled
rapidly and sunk at once. The boat
is now lying at the bottom of the riv
er; the water is two feet deep in her
cabin. Chas. Page, of Marietta, O.,
Stoker Qrr, assistant engineer of the
Sciota, said they started from East
Liverpool at 6:30 o’clock in the morn
ing, with a large excursion party, who
were off for a Fourth of July frolic,
and that they went as far down the
river as Meudville,' arriving there
abont 1:30, v. M. After lying there
about two hours, we started for home,
stopping at Wheeling and Martin’s
Ferry. People hailed us along the
river, but the Captain said wo had
enough on board, and he refused to
take any more, except at Steuben
ville, where several came aboard.—
When we collided with the Lomus, as
near as I can judge from what I hoard
people saying, we had on board 400
persons at least, aud possibly 500. I
was on watch aC the time of the acci
dent, uurl when the boats whistled for
passing I noticed that there was some
thing wrong, but thought nothing of
it, and stepped out on deck for a sec
ond, when I saw the Lomas right up
on us. I rushed buck to my engine
aud obeyed the bell to stop, and then
seeing tbut the boat was sinking, I
throw a skill into the river, then ran
after my coat. When I got back the
skiff was so full of fear-stricken peo
ple that I knew it would sink, so I
jumped into the river and struck out
for the West Virginia shore. In look
ing around me as I swam, I saw the
water was black with straggling hu
man beings, and the expression of
their faces was frightful beyond de
scription. Men, women and children
were crying piteously for help and
some of the screams so unnerved me
that I could scarcely Bwim. The cur
rent wob strong, and I struck out with
all might and soon got out of sight of
the orowd in the water, there being
but two boys near me who managed
to reach the shore in safety, with a
little help from me. Wo swam about
mile altogether, and when we
reached the shore it was impossible
for any of us to stand up. As to how
many were lost, I can form no idea,
nor do I know what caused the acci
dent, or who is to blame.
Lator intelligence goes to prove
that the death list will foot up be
tween twenty-five and fifty, as 'tis
thought that when the boat is raised
a number of bodies will be discovered.
The most of the unfortunates were
carried ashore by the Lomas, and it
is probable that many clung to that
portion of the wreck above the stir- j
face of the water until necessary aid j
could reach thorn.
THE LOVER’S PLOT,
An Old Time Story
Sir George Mackenzie, who flour-
•ished in the last half of the seven
teenth century, was one of the most
eminent jurists ever known in Scot
land, besides being a brilliant man of
letters. He inherited wealth, and du
ring his busy life he added so much
to it that he became one of the wealth
iest men of his time. As a politician
he was self-willed and stubborn, and
at times violent. Between himself
and the young Earl of Bute a strong
political difference existed, which nei
ther showed a disposition to harmon
ize. Yet the Earl hud fallen deeplv
in love with Sir Geore’s daughter, and
the love by her was returned. The
lovers knew that the stern old advo
cate would not consent to their un
ion. In fact it is doubtful if Sir
George would have admitted Bute to
the house as a friend. His feelings
were deep and bitter, and he had
been heard to denounce the Earl as
little better than a renagade.
The lovers pat their heads togeth
er and consnlted. They were eager
to be made man and wife. Of course
the yonng lady could elope and be
married clandestinely, and the father
could not help himself, but ah! he
could disinherit bis recreant daugh
ter, and that must not be. The young
Earl was not mercenary. The dam
sel’s prospective wealth, asiheiress of
her rich father, had given her not
particle of extra attraction for him,
he did not like the idea of having his
wife deprived of her just inheritance,
and, naturally, he did not care to lose
such a broad and grand estate—this
daughter was on only child.
At length the Earl hit upon a plan,
and resolved to act upon it. He vis
ited Sir George in his chambers, while
the latter held the office of King’s Ad
vocate, and appealed to him for as
sistance.
Now, as man to man, in matters of
business, or in any way not involving
brotherly love, Sir Georgo held the
young Earl in high esteem; and there
was no man of his acquaintance whom
{ io would have more readily assisted
ogally. Furthermore, the advocate
bad not the remotest idea that Bute
either loved his daughter or that he
was familiar with her.
"Sir George,” said the Earl, when
he was ready to open bis business,
"there is a young lady in this city
whom I dearly and devoted love; and
she has confessed her love for me.—
Her father is wealthy,. Now, sir, I
care Hot for the lady's money, yet it
wonld not be pleasant to have her
father disinherit her. From this you
can judge that the father is opposed
to our union. At all events we fear
such is the case. Now, my dear Sir
George, I know that you would not
hesitate to avouch for my worthi
ness.”
The old man nodded assent very
pleasantly.
"And, sir, I think yon wonld be
willing to exert vour influence in my
behalf, if I should marry her clandes
tinely. Your inflnonce would be ef
fectual, I am sure. "
And so the Earl went on until he
had brought Sir George not ouly to
promise his assistance toward pre
venting a disinheritance, but so far
had the keon old lawyer entered into
the spirit of tho thing that he advised
the Earl, by all means, to go ahead.
•‘Why,” he exclaimed forcibly, "the
man must be blind or a fool who
would reject such on alliance for his
daughter—one of the oldest names in
the realm, a fair share of wealth and a
coronet. Go ahead my lord aud I
will sustain you if I can.’’
And the Earl went ahead. That
very evening he arranged with the la
dy and on the following day they were
privately married.
In the evening Sir George missed
his daughter. He had just inquired
for her when a door was opened and
she and the Earl of Bute entered,
hand in baud, aud went straight to his
chair and went down on their knees.
Not a word of expiation was need
ed. The old advocate caught his
breath, changed from a death-like
paleness to a furious flush half a doz
en times and finally gave in.
“Sir George, henceforth 1 shall take
great pleasure in sustaining my wife’s
father,” said the Earl.
A hot response was upon the par
ent’s lips, but he swallowed it, and
gradually a sense of the absurdity of
the situation possessed him and anon
he burst into a heart}- laugh, and the
erring children were forgiven.
A Few Simple Oil-IIaml tied pc*.
Boston Transcript.
The Small Boy :—Take equal .por
tions of noise, dirt and four horse
power engine; mix with bread and
butter to the taste (the boy’s taste)
aud set the mixture to cool in the
middlo of a ten acre lot. If yon find
you have put in too much uoise (which
you undoubtedly have) turn over and
knead with the hand or split shingle.
Tho Politician:—This is a very easy
dish. All that is requirod is tact, one
part; two eyes for the main chance
one tongue well oilod, and as much
cheek as possible. If you have a little
brain bandy it may bo added sparing
ly; but it does not matter much, and
most housekeepers consider any use
of brain in this connection as extrava
gant.
The Poet:—To make a poet, take
liberally of shimmoring sunshine,
strain through a rhyming dictionary,
and mid equal parts of lovosiok ad
jeotivee, archaic adverbs and such
other words as you may noyer have
heard of. Set in a worm place where
the whole may become intimately
mingled, and garnish with long hair,
seedy clothing and empty stomacB
A Kiss:—This is composed of eqnal
parts of honey, sugar, ice-cream, soda
with four kinds of syrup, love in
cottage and supernal bliss. It can be
made in tho dark just as well as iu
the light. Bake in an elliptical dish,
and serve warm.
Charity:—This is usually served
cold. Whon warm it is very apt to
spoil, and mast therefore be nsed at
home. Take one part of heart and
one hundred parts talk, and stir to
gether until the heart is disolved, and
add sufficient policy and worldly wis
dom to give it a flavor. Charity made
by this recipe will keep a long time in
any climate.
A new and important industry is
