WRIGHT. 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.
