Still Recovering the Bodies of tlie Ylctims. The Total Loss of Life Will Beach 75. An Attempt to be Made to Extend the Bonded Period. Further Details of Collision. the Fatal July scene at the wreck of the Scioto to-day almost beggars description.

The anguish of those looking for their lost ones, added to the wails and sobs of those bending over the inanimate forms of their dead, recovered from the water. The Associated Press reporter arrived at the scene at noon, at which time only nine bodies had been recovered. Both banks of the river were lined with people, making a crowd of perhaps 2,000. The work of dragging in the vicinity for bodies is still going on. "William Hulholland, of Wellsville, under whose" auspices the excursion on the ill-fated Scioto was given, said the boat took about two hundred passengers aboard at East Liverpool, and two hundred and fifty at The boat was very much crowded, and refused to stop at other points where tickets had been sold.

Taking his statement with others, it is safe to say that there were 500 souls on Iboard at the time of the collision. jCaptain Smith, of Martin's Ferry, who was on the Lomas, says that when some distance from the Scioto he noticed the boats were going to come together, and made his preparations for the shock. Both steamers had on a full head of steam, the Lomas going down stream at the rate of 15 miles per hour, and the ascending Scioto at the rate of 12 miles. It seems to be the prevailing opinion that the collision resulted from a mis-, understanding or confusion of signals. PUGLLISTS.

Standing a Thumping for Pay. NEwYoEK, July the champion pugilist, gave a picnic, the ial attraction of which was the announcement of a sparring match between Sullivan and James Elliott, the latter to receive $500 if he knocked the former "out" in four three-minute rounds, with a half minute rest. In the first round Sullivan raised several lumps on Elliott's face. In the second he knocked him down, and in the third, hitting him square in the mouth, knocked him sense- lew, in which condition he remained twenty minutes, and was then taken home. Sullivan gave Elliot It will be remembered that Elliott has been sending a number of challenges to Sullivan the past few weeks.

Arkansas Crops Splendid. LITTLE ROCK. July Gazette's weekly summary; of crop- repora from exchangee and correspondents in all parts of the State, is of mow encouraging character. WASHINGTON, July has been generally supposed that no attempt would be made to revive the bonded whisky bill this session, although a motion was entered on the journal of the Senate for a reconsideration of the vote by which the vote was postponed indefinitely. The whisky manufacturers have not, however, given up hope.

A day or two ago several gentlemen, representing Baltimore and Philadelphia distillers, called on Secretary Folger and informed him that there was a whisky panic in those cities, and they could neither sell their goods nor obtain loans from the banks. They asked the Secretary whether he could not do something to relieve them by advising the extension of the bonded period to five years, which was the time fixed by Senator Bayard's amendments to the bill that was buried in The Secretary gave them encouragement, and promised to confer with Senator Windom as to the prospect legislation on the subject by the Senate. The Secretary said that so far aa he was concerned he was inclined to favor the five-year period with proper guards for the interest of the Government. The whisky men say they have strong hopes that the motion to reconsider the action of the Senate will be agreed to, and that the bill willjbe amended and passed, but the impression made by conversations with Senators is that there is very unfavorable sentiment in the Senate toward the revival of the question, unless it be strongly and unequivocally advised by Secretary Folger. TWO PER CENT.

BONDS. MINGO JUNCTION, July were found this morning the bodies of Charles Swearington, of Kensington, Ohio; Dan Thomas, the Captain's son; E. P. Smith, of Wellsville; also a man by the name of Dunhamer or Durhamer, from Wellsville. About forty men came down with skiffs and a cannon, from East Liverpool, and are doing good work.

By night they can secure about ten bodies more. A great many bodies are placed in the engine room and under the bow of the boat. A want of necessary apparatus prevents the getting of the bodies, although boats and grapling tools, diving bells, are on their way from Pittsburg, and when the wreck is raised, at least thirty to fifty bodies will be found. The missing are accumulating and, with what have been found the number will amount to sixty-five or seventy-five, and nearly all will be found in and around the wreck. Every hour brings people here hunting for absent ones, and give names not given before.

The dead, so far, have been recognized and moved promptly to their late homes. Stewart Pipes, reported found yesterday, has not been found yet. Why the Bill Was Passed--The Bonds to be Taken Tby a Syndicate. WASHINGTON July joint resolution suddenly brought in from the Ways and Means Committee on Saturday and passed at once by the House authorizing a two per cent, loan, was suggested in the committee by the agent of some New York bankers, who sent him here to say that if Congress would authorize such a loan they stood ready to give assurances that the whole $200,000,000 should be taken at once. The committee directed Mr.

Kelley, their chairman, to consult with the Secretary of the Treasury on- the subject. Secretary Folger approved of the plan, and the joint resolution, as it passed the House Saturday, had his consent and was in fact substantially framed in the Treasury. There are now four hundred and sixty millions of three and a half per cents, liable to call and payment at any time. Of these the banks hold over two hundred and forty-one millions, and a large amount is also held in private investments. It is supposed that the baners will be willing to exchange three and a half per which are liable to immediate call, for two per which by the terms of the joint resolution, cannot be called and paid until all the outstanding three and a half per are paid off, and it is understood that the order in which the resolution prescribes their recall aftords another advantage to those who may hold the earlier numbeia.

ANOTHER DISPATCH. STETOENVILLE, July bodies have been recovered from the wrecked "Scioto" to-day--Lincoln Beardmore, Thomas Beardmore, Thomas Leath and Charles Swearingen. Friends of lost ones are cutting through the state room floors and are despoiling the boat genreally to discover their bodies if possible. The steamer Welcome" is still there. The boat will probably not be raised until to-morrow.

The number lost is now estimated at 75. A Smallpox Scare. CHICAGO, July Rustic Ford, special says: Smallpox is raging in this town. There have been several deaths akeady, and a serious time is apprehended. Accident to Gen.

WASHINGTON, July Evening Star says: On Monday night a wagon drove from the jail into one of alleys through which the rear part of Army Medical Museum was reached.

Chis wagon, without doubt, contained body of Guiteau. At the Army Medical Museum to-day none of the jhysicians or other officials would say inything about the whereabouts of 3uiteau's body or what would be done with it. Dr. Lamb said very decidedly; "I don't know anything." Before it was decided to bury the jody in the jail, Warden Crocker had an understanding with Dr. Hicks that it should be removed to the Army Medical Museum.

The Warden, -when akecl about this latest ''removal," seemed rather displeased at any thing being said i ted alone concerning it. He said simply: "If body is not at the Medical Museum, will be there in a day or two."

Catholic Bishop of Grand Rapids to be Elected. CINCINNATI, July Elder, Industrial Brevities. During the ten months from July, 1881, to April 30, 1882, the interior mills of California sent 2.750,273 quarter sacks of flour to San Francisco, and farmers of California sent centals of wheat This is alargerqnan- tity of flour than was ever received at San Francisco during any corresponding period, showing great activity on the part of the oonntrv all of which are believed to be doing well. These mills are scattered all over the interior, the more prominent ones being at Vallejo, Sacramento, and Stockton.

Some of these mills fill large orders for export. Adding the flour thus received to the wheat deliveries gives a total of 20,475,471 centals, or upwards of 1,000,000 short tons, the largest quantity received in any ten months in the history of San Francisco. The shipments of wheat and flour for the ten months ending April 30, 1882. were equivalent tp 1,075,276 tons, against 613,500 tons for the same time in 1880-'81, and 566,400 tons for the same time in 1879-'80. Some extensive shipments of young shad and herring were recently made by the fish commission from Washington.

One million shad and two million herring were sent to Austin, where they were placed in the Colorado river; 300,000 shad to FarmviUe, to stock the waters of the Appomattox; 300,000 to South Carolina; 300,000 to the Rappahannock river, and 300,000 to the upper Potomac, at Harper's Ferry. The young fish were transported in closed tin pails, each holding from 2,000 to 2,500 fish. The Quantico fishery, which has just been discontinued, the shad having moved further up the river, net- over 3,000,000 shad and 60,000,000 herring. The Fish Hawk, the government vessel stationed at Quantico, under the command of Capt. Tanner, goes to the Susquehanna fishery, just below Havre de Grace.

Up to the present time there have been shipped this year and deposited about 6,000,000 shad. The work of the entire season will probably embrace the distribution of nearly 80,000,000 shad arid countless millions" of herrings. The Buenos Ayres Herald in a recent number says a word on behalf of the Argentine republic as a field where the surplus population and the unoccupied capital of Europe may readily find a happy and prosperous habitation and profitable investment. There are lands, it says, of untold extent within two him- dred or three hundred miles of the capital, which require no preparatory work; they are akeady cleared and ready foj: grazing through the entire year; they require no barns for the storage of hay, and these lands can be had at the rate "of Is. an English acre.

Railway extensions are progressing, and "there is no more danger to person and property than in any other young country." Then the "climate is matchless," and the people are "hospitable.generous, and impulsive in their welcome to all peaceable comers." The preliminary surveys for the proposed reclamation of the Zuyder Zee have been finished, and the work of building the walls will soon begin. A dike about miles in length will be constructed of sand and faced with clay, reaching 16 feet above the level of the sea, which will make it about 6J feet above the highest tide. The thickness of tbc dike will be such as to enable it to resist the heaviest seas. Operations will begin at four different points, and the calculation is to have it completed in from seven to ten years, at a cost of 846,000,000. The Spanish government, urged by the scarcity of wheat in southern Spain, has issued a memorandum setting forth the high prices of grain in the districts most affected, and stimulating Hungarian exporters to pay attention to this outlet for their products.

ALEXANDRIA, July Pacha President of the Council, received a tel egram from the Sultan that the British fleet would bombard the forts unless work on them are stopped. The Sul tan holds the Khedive and Ministry re sponsible for the consequences. Raghel Pacha replied that the Ministry has al ready telegraphed to Constantinople and that the demonstrations have been made in consequence of which the Sultan's permission to resume work was asked. Pending the Sultan's reply no definite resolution will be adopted.

Philadelphia Some things politics are like kissing --they are catching. Cameron and the bosses invented the reform-next-year policy, and bowled the reform element of the party out year after year by it; but now the Independents have learned how to catch on in Cameron's methods, and they are for harmony-next-year by walloping Cameron this year. Who Made Those Tracks. On one of the rocks brought to Franklin, to use in the foundation of the courthouse, were found Dimerous human tracks plainly defined and unmistakable. The stone is about three feet by six, and one bide showed as many as a dozen of these foot-prints.

Some of them were misshapen, as having been made in soft clay and crowded by contiguous tracks, but many were in most perfect formation. None were barefooted tracks, but evidently made with fashionably-shaped shoes. On the stone were also" seen one bovine track that was clearly defined, and one that was somewhat out of semblance. In some of these tracks there bad been an after- formation of rocks, which with a chisel was easilv removed. The stone came from the Vernon quarry.

The question that naturally arises is, who were the people that, wearing shoes with fashionably high heels and well-rounded earthworks' made their tracks in via San Francisco, for 2 cents a pound. It is now stated that the stalks of the cotton plant can be converted into valuable stock food, by cutting them inta small pieces or grinding them. Personalities and Hl-Eeports. Keep clear of personalities in general conversation. Talk of things, objects, thoughts.

The smallest minds occupy themselves with Personalities must sometimes be talked, because we have to learn and find out men's characteristics for legitimate objects; but it is to be with confidential persons.
