8. One of the eight boilers in Perry's cotton mill exploded at five o'clock this afternoon and created great excitement. The fire department were soon on hand, and as the mill operatives rushed into tne street their presence of mind pre vented any accident in making an exit. The boiler which exploded was an old one. A piece of iron, where it had been patched, was found to be lifted up.

making a hole large enough to admit of a man's body; hence the explosion. 'ine root ot tne engine room was lit tea and, had the rent in the boiler been on the top instead of the side, the whole structure would have been damaged and there would have been a serious loss of life and limb to chronicle. The Assistant Engineer, W. H. Kelley, was standing in the doorway, a fortunate position for him.

The force of the steam sent him headlong through the door, a distance of twenty yards, scalding him externally and bruising him somewhat. The foreman, Andrew Johnson, was also seriously scalded, but it is thought that he will recover. The injured men were removed to their homes, and medi cal aid ordered by the managers ot the mill. The estimated damage will be about $3,000. It is thought that the mill will not be able to begin operations again for two weeks.

Tne expioaea Doner was imrty ieec long and thirty inches in fortunately, two thirds full of water. The damage is fully covered by insur ance. Several hremeu had their leet scalded in the engine room while engaged in hauling out fires from under the other boilers. NEW VOISK. Trov, Nov.

It is said he also handled $120,000 in bonds issued by the Water Commissioners of Saratoga, and it is not known whether these are all straight or not. On Saturday he gave a mortgage lor to ms sureties on his real estate in Hal Is ton village. Tt is anorenendea mat xin.it a dozen manufacturing establishments in Saratoga county are involved by Mann's failure. The suspension of the paper collar manufactory in which his son is interested throws 150 persons out of employment. Telegrams from New York holders of the false bonds have been pouring in all day.

Op the seventy two counties in Kansas, the Republicans carried all but three at the last election. It is fair to infer that that party will have a "working majority" in the Legislature.

The receipts of the Athletic base ball club for the past year were 90, 901esstban the expenditures. From this showing it would appear that running even a first class base ball nine is not the road to wealth. The total receipts of the New York postofflce during the past week were $62,100.

Thbeb girls, aged sixteen, thirteen and eleven years, were burned to death in Washington city on Friday night, owing to the explosion of a coal lamp in the lower story of a small frame house while they were in bed in an upper room. The building burned so rapidly that they could not escape, and perished horribly before the agonized gaze of their frenzied parents and friends.

About a year and a half ago a young man living in Washington township, Liehlgh county, got a piece of peanut shell fast in his throat, and it finally became lodged in one of his The matter was not considered serious at the time, but after a few months had passed the young man began to feel pain, which increased with the lapse of time, until at the present time he is so reduced in strength as to be scarcely' able to get about. It seems strange that in this age of medical and surgical skill one' should allow a foreign substance to remain in the lungs, to breed disease which must inevitably end in death, sooner or later. The young man in question has become aroused to the importance of treatment In his case, and has consulted a prominent surgeon in Philadelphia, but the probabilities are that he has delayed this important step until it is too late. In Potter county, where a majority of the people are sincere in their advocacy of prohibition, and where no licenses for the sale of liquor have been granted for twenty years, the Prohibition State ticket received just two votes.

This looks as if the voters of Potter county possess in an eminent degree the faculty of seeing through the pretenses of people, and discovering their real objects. Earnest and devoted as they are in the cause of temperance, these intelligent people could not be tricked into giving their support to the miserable scheme concocted by Browne and his brevet Democratic folio wei to weaken the Republican party, and thus assist the Democrat. Would that all the temperance people of Pennsylvania were equally discriminating. Had such been the case, Hartranft would have had twenty five thousand instead of twelve thousand majority. of the Philadelphia Times, takes his defeat with good humor.

In yesterday's itsue of the paper he runs he says "The Pilgrims won't disband. Well, why should they They have beaten the Reformers several straight heats, and this time they routed the Reformers, the Union Leaguers and the Times." While we cannot escape the reflection, that for the last one of the acU enumerated here the Pilgrims deserve double thanks, the conviction forces itself upon us at the same time that Aleck's (we beg pardon, the Colonel's) is a good example for the Democrats to follow in defeat. They have about equal experience with him in coming out the little end of the horn, but he far exceeds them in the philo sopnicai manner in which he faces the music. Thh wisdom of keeping one's cash and valuables divided and secreted in different depositories as a safeguard against the inroads of burglars and sneak thieves has been happily demon strated by the result of the raid on the First National Bank of Pittston, on Tuesday night laBt. The burglars succeeded in entering the vault, where they blew open two of three spherical safes, containing the valuables of the bank.

They were discovered and driven ofl? before they had time to blow open the third safe. They took with them auous rorty thousand dollars worth or railroad and corporation bonds and a smaii amount of currency. By a singular piece of good fortune (for the bank) the thieves inadvertentlv left the safe Containing a large amount of money to ep lasi, ana were interrupted before they had finished their work Had they exploded the remaining safe flwt or second, they would have eecurPd in the neighborhood of a million of dol lars. Or had the valuables been kett all in one safe they would have secured It anyhow. Here is a hint which mav be acted on with profit by those bavins i i yaiuaoies uitn Keeping.

The Claret Viatapo An Extraordinary Year. From. the Pa Mall Gazette.1 Messrs. H. R.

Williams wine importers, send au extract of a letter received on Friday morning relating to the claret vintage: "The vintage throughout theMedocia in full operation. The quantity of wine made this year will bo great very great far in excess of that of last yeas, which was a good one while the quality will, I venture to predict, be. excellent. They have seldom had a finer year. The wine is being made under the most favorable circumstances the weather is most propitious, and is, in fact, everything that could be desired the fermentation progresses regularly, and in a way which appears to give the utmost satisfaction.

It does one good to see the rich clusters of full sized bunches of grapes, with their well formed berries, and what is more important in the making of good wine, well and equally ripened and full of saccharine. One of the finest and best known estates I visited on Monday, producing generally from 150 to ICO luns of fine claret, will this year make from 220 to 240 tuns, the latter being the most likely quantity. An other (a small one, but a type of most others), which last year produced 18 tuns, has this year actually made 25 tuns. The coopers are everywhere busy, and the price of casks ha3 risen considerably, which is always the case when the vintage is a large one. I have visited most of the best estates, and have driven through many miles of ia many the wine is already made, and it requires no very great discernment to discover that the farmers are well satisfied with the math; indeed, there is the same plenty everywhere.

Depend upon it, prices must rule much lower than those of the 1874 vintage. There will be none of those ruinous, speculative purchases of this year's vintage as last, buyer competing with buyer, and, as a rule, giving the most exorbitant prices when the most moderate only would be justified Dauphin County Teachers' Institute.

I have not been delegated to come before you with an array of high sounding, meaningless words but to speak to you plain words of welcome, such as are full of honest meaning. When, as pastor of this church, I say to you welcome, I embody in it the voice of every intelligent member of my congregation, for we regaru you as lauies ana gentlemen, men and women possessed of such a degree of moral excellence as will enable you to order your conversation and course of conduct in beautiful harmony with the sanctity of the place in which we have been permitted to assemble. As a citizen I say welcome and in so doing I express the entire sentiment of a people deeply interested in you and in our common cause, both noble and grand. We are not prepared to welcome you into a large town or great city with endless variety of sights and numerous facilities for excursions, of late so fashionable at educational and other public meetings but into an old village now rising borough whose quiet atmosphere is eminently favorable for solid, intellectual work, such as we trust you have come here to perform. We have adopted and are earnestly striving to realize the force Luther's sentiments "The strength of a town does not consist in its towers and buildings, but in counting a great number of learned, serious, honest, well educated citizens." We invite you Into our midst to help infuse additional vigor, develop a higher intellectual life, and create an impetus that shall speedily, yet steadily, carry us into the near future or tnis nappy accomplishment.

And as "he that watereth shall be watered also himself," we trust we are not hoping too much to see you go down from this mount of intellectual privileges better prepared for and greatly encouraged in the performance of the highly responsible duties of your professional life. Yours is a noble calling a profession of whicli you have just reason to be proud. Unite earnestly in elevating the standard of professional as well as intellectual qualifications, and your ranks will soon be rid of drones and mountebanks who would rob you of both honor and due compensation. Upon your efforts depends, in great measure, the destiny of our country. Perform well the work assigned you, and you will not lose your reward.

Trusting that all may feel at home among us, and take a hearty interest in and due share of tho work of this convention, we again bid you a hearty welcome. Music Chide Mildly the Erring.

The Beading Times and Ditjmtch says A fatal accident occurred at Pottstown yesterday (Sunday), shortly before twelve o'clock, noon, by which a whole lauiuy were inrown into moarning by the sudden death of one of their number. Tho particulars, as furnished by a resident of that borough, are as follows Jacob, a son of Mr. Ephraim R. Yor gey, farmer for Messrs. J.

and H. Qabie, whose farm is located just outside of the town, in company with his father, a younger brother and a cousin, left their home some time during the morning and proceeded to the residence of a neighbor, Mr. James Hilborn. Jacob took a gun with him, thinking he might have an opportunity to shoot a rabbit. In returning home the boys passed near the grounds of the Schuylkill Valley Agricultural Society.

Iu approaching the entrance to the Park, Jacob climbed upon the fence and it in thought eat there a minute or two, his companions being a few yards distant. The report of a gtm jn a hollow fronting tho boyo, attracted their attention, and Jacob, iu elevating himself upon the fence to see who shot it off, caught the hammer of his gun in one of the lower rails. The piece was discharged, the contents passing through the young man's head, on the left hand side, back of the ear, shattering tho skull and scattering the brains. Death wa3 almost instantaneous. His companions gave the alarm and other members of the family and friends hastily repaired to the scene.

The news spread rapidly through town, and during the afternoon many persons visited the locality. The house is situated quite near the Colebrookdale railroad. The lad is about seventeen years of age, a faithful and good worker, kind and respected by all who knew him. He had intended going to Sunday school in the afternoon. What is Said About it.

The Gazette, the Democratic organ, heads an editorial with the emphatic title 'Punish says 'men of both parties demand the prompt arrest and severe punishment of the and itself calls upon the police and courts 'both to do their duty fearlessly and The Sun, which leans strongly towards the Democratic side, devotes a leader to the same subject, pointing out that the vote is far beyond any ever polled in Baltimore. It thinks that in any event the Ring Democrats would have had a handsome majority, but adds that 'even if this were not the case there could be no excuse for such scenes of ruffianly disorder and The pollution of the ballot box must indeed have been exceptional when the organs of the party which resorted to such desperate means FIRST EDITIOFJ.

After leaving tho royal barge at the dockyard the municipality of Bombay presented him with an appropriate address of welcome. The Prince replied briefly, after he and his suite were escorted to the Government House.

The troops and police preserved perfect order while the long processiom moved through the streets. Over 200,000 spectators lined the route. The reception was of the most enthusiastic description, and was participated in alike by Europeans and natives. The city was splendidly decorated throughout, no fewer than eight triumphal arches having been erected on the line of march. The apartments to be occupied by His Royal Highness during his stay in Bombay are the most pleasantly situated rooms in the Government House.

8. The number of nlavs on the anbiect of the American Revolution submitted to M. MIchaelis for his examination is sixty eight. Among them are several of remarkable merit. The prizes, however, will not be awarded before December.

It now seems that M. Bardoux, the Under Secretary of Justice, resigned because he was a partisan of the system of scrutin de liste, or voting by depart ments. M. Bardoux is a Conservative Republican and a Deputy from the Department of Pny de Dome. in the debate upon the Electoral bill in the French Assembly to day it was decidded by a vote of 684 against 4 that two years residence in one place was necessary to qualify the elector.

An amendment enabling half yearly residents to vote was referred to a committee, because of the statement of M. Dufaure that the compilation of the list of those electors would delay the elections from December till April.

Tnis unloosed lor action oaused some commotion among the French people, who were concerned in the trouble, but it will be productive of no results other than of spending money unneoessarily, as the jury system demands the trial of a Frenchman by Frenchmen, and an acquittal will be the result of their de liberations.

A dispatch from Port Townsend this evening says Henry P. Jelly the supposed sole survivor of the steamship Pacific disaster, who was brought here yesterday by the ship Messenger, 'is in a wretched condition, having been on the raft 36 hours. ..13.. He says the Pacific collided with some other vessel, whose light he saw but in his interview with Gilkey the Master of the Messenger, he made no mention of the lights of a vessel, and some hearers think he is laboring under an hallucination. Experienced navigators here think it is more likely that she struck a sunken rock.

Jelly makes a statement to the effect "Took passage on the Pacific from Victoria, leaving about a quarter past nine o'clock on Thursday morning, the 4th with about 200 hundred people on board. The boats abaft the paddle boxes had no oars in them; the other boats had oars. "Between 8 and 9 o'clock in the even in, while in bed, I heard a crash, and felt a shock as if we had struck rock. The bell struck to stop, back and go ahead; went on deck; heard voices say, 'We have struck a "Saw several lights at a distance returned to the cabin noticed that the ship took a heavy lurch to leeward went on deck to the pilot house, and heard some one say 'she is making water very "I got five blue lights and burned them; noticed the engines still working, but no one was at the wheel went to the starboard side, forward of the paddle box, where a number of men were trying to get a long boat launched, but could not; went to the, port boat forward and helped five or six women into it; tried to get the boat off, but could not move it; there were about 20 women in it heard that the boats about the paddles had been got off, but did not see them the port boat was in the water; I was in the water was in that boat, and 1 cut; it loose from the davits; the boat filled and turned over I got 011 her bottom and helped several up witli me; immediately after the steamer seemed to break in two fore and aft; the smoke stack fell and struck our boat and the steamer sunk; I think about all the women were in our boat, and fear they were all drowned when the boat upset. "Afterwards I left the bottom of the boat and, with another man, climbed on top of the pilot house, floating near.

The next morning I got some life preservers floating by the house, and with their ropes, lashed myeelf and companion to the house saw three rafts the first had one man on it the next had three men and a woman could not make out the 5 third raft, owing to the distance, except that there were people on it. Think we were thirty or forty miles south of Cape Flattery when the vessel sunk passed the light on Luttoosh Island between four and five o'clock in the evening. I and my companion were on the pilot house all of Friday until about four in the afternoon, when he died the sea was running very high all day, the waves washing over me. "I sighted a vessel and called to her, and heard persons on the other rafts calling, but the vessel did not come near us. On Friday night there was but little wind until morning, when tho wind and sea rose.

I was then within a mile of shore off Van Couver's Island. I sighted two vessels on the American shore, which passed me. About 10 o'clock on Saturday morning the Messenger picked me up. (Signed) "Henry F. Jeixt." There was great excitement in this city on the receipt of the news, and the telegraph and newspaper offices and Merchants' Exchange were besieged by persons who had friends or relatives on board.

No one seems to know the names of the members of the Hurlburt Rockwell troupe, but it is supposed that Fanny Marsten was one of them, and that the others were performers picked up in this part of the country. The steamer Los Angeles will be dispatched on her arrival to morrow to Bave the survivors if there are any. Jelly says there was no terror or confusion on the part of the passengers, and that if the boats could have been launched and properly manned, as the sea was comparatively smooth, all on board might have been saved.
