New Orleans, October 23.—The
steamer Louise H., from Algiers,
Africa, has arrived. The Captain
reports that on the night of the
18th, they picked np in Bahama
channel seventeen survivors of
the burned steamer Pajaro del
Oceano, including Captain Diaz
and two mates. The steamer car-
ried a crew of forty-two and twen-
ty passengers aboard when the
calamity occurred. The rescued
are in a terrible state of exhaus-
sion. They had been clinging to
floating debris for 18 hours.
The rescued captain says the
steamer left Havana October 17th
for Mauritas, with a general cargo
for the Spanish army. Everything
was all right until the 18th, when
the vessel was in Bahama straits.
At 4 a.m. an alarm of fire was giv-
en. The vessel caught fire amid-
ships and was in a sheet of flames
when discovered. Some of the
passengers jumped overboard in
their night clothes. The'vessel
burned to the waters edge and
sunk in less than four hours.
Seventeen of the crew were ta-
ken up by the Louis H. They had
been floating 18 hours on pieces
of plank. They bodies were ter-
ribly lacerated, and some of them
slightly burnt. The only woman
on board was lost. Doubtless
many were eaten by sharks. Eng-
lishmen furnished clothing for the
naked, and attended to those who
were hurt.
THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Campbell Witnesses Claim to be
Able to Prove a Complete
Alibi.
Kansas City Times.
From parties who were in the
city on Monday from the vicinity
of Knobnoster, Mo., it was learned
that the probabilities are that
Campbell who is confined with
Stevens in the county jail, is inno-
cent of any complicity in the Glen-
dale robbery. It is claimed that
on the day of the robbery Camp-
bell was iu Knobnoster playing
cards and billiards during the en-
tire day, and every hour of his time
can be accounted for up to 10:30
o’clock at night, when his brother
admitted him to his house and the
latter can swear to his having re-
mained there all night. Knobnos-
ter is some thirty miles from Glen-
dale, and if the witnesses are truth-
ful in their statements, it would be
impossible for Campbell to have
been in the raid, although he may
have been accessory after the fact.
Campbell is a wild, disolute
youth of good family, who has
spent his patrimony in riotous liv-
ing, and does no bear the best
character. According to further
information from the same witnes-
ses, Campbell did not go to Hol-
den until theii3xt day. The day
for the preliminary examination of
the two men is not yet determined.

Galveston News Special.
Corsicana, October 22.—A re-
porter of the News ea'led at the
tabernacle next morning for de-
tails of the outrage, and elicited
the above, brother Haynes, in the
in the absence of authorization
from the holy spirit, refusing to
state what occurred after he had
been taken from the tabernacle.
The usual service was held at 10
o’clock, during which a message
was received from God consecrat-
ing the band for having made the
above facts known, and in reply to
another inquiry, made the day be-
fore, announced the will of the
holy spirit to be, that no communi-
cation be he had just now with the
reporter, as the Almighty cared
no more for thejGalveston News
than he did for other newspapers.
At four another message was re-
ceived, after long prayer in the in-
ner temple, ordering Haynes and
his apostles to proceed to Dallas,
to there secure material for the
erection of a spiritual temple,
which is now in course of con-
struction, one pillar being reared
in Brooklyn, New York, and the
other in Corsicana, Texas. The
message commands the head of
the church and his apostles to
return to Corsicania, unless other-
wise hereafter directed, within
thirty days. At 4:30 the camp was
broken up, and Haynes and a por
tion of his disciples, consisting of
his wife, brother Rice and his wife,
and brother Goodnight, made their
way to the depot. As the train
pulled in the sheriff arrested
brother Goodnight, and the others
took cars for Dallas.
The community deprecate and
censure the action of the young
men, and are determined to bring
them to justice so soon as they can
be identified by Haynes. A re
port is current, and believed by a
great majority of our citizens, that
the parties who took Haynes from
the tabernacle were members of
the band, the object being to ere
ate sympathy for the sect, and an
addition to their cause by the un-
warranted disturbance of their
services last night.
The building known as the tab-
ernacle is the residence of the far-
mer who recently sold two negro
children, reported in the dispatch-
es at the time.
Wilwaukee, Wis., October 22.—
The Sentinel to-morrow morning-
will contain an account of horrible
atrocities in the Milwaukee house
of correction. This institution is
used at the discretion of the court
as a state prison. An inteligent
convict, just released, whos char-
acter for veracity is vouched for by
prominent persons who know him
intimately, state that he has been
an inmate for two years. All that
time he was not allowed to write
to his counsel, friends or family,
who supposed him dead. He says
the bread furnished the convicts
is made from damaged cow feed,
and cannot be eaten, and this stuff
is paid for by the county at the
rate of $6 a barrel.
During his confinement embroyo
calves, dogs and glandered horses
have been furnished as meat, and
he brings bons, whish are now in
possession of the editor of the
Seutinal, to prove it. The details
in this report are horrible beyond
pescription.
Of the brutality of the keepers,
he says prisoners were beaten and
confined in the black hole, which
is a filthy kennel, nor is there any
ventilation. The floor is covered
with indescribable filth. Men are
placed there for twenty days at a
time, and two, to his knowledge,
have died form the effects of the
treatment described.
The whole story is the most
startling and revolting ever pub-
lished in this county, and it is
claimed that the charges can not
be verified.
A “NEW” ISSUE.
To Be Brought Forward by the
Democrats.
Washington, D. O., October 21.
—The question of a revision of
the tariff is the subject of some
discussion in Democratic circles
here. It is stated the recent ad-
vices received from the chairman
of the committee on ways and
means indicate that a strong effort
will be made to inject a tariff issue
into the presidential campaign of
next year. It is stated by those
who are posted as to the extent of
this movement that assurances
have been received from a num-
ber of Westorn members that they
will support a movement to revise
the tariff at the next session, and
it is expected that it will be possi-
ble to secure the support of all
the Greenback members. While
it is known that no complete un-
derstanding as to the extent of the
proposed modification of the ex-
isting tariff has yet been reached,
it is certain that Mr. Wood’s
scheme will receive the support of
every Democrat on ways and
means committee. What the ac-
tion of the house will be remains
to be seen, but the situation de-
mands the careful attention of
those who are interested in the
welfare of home industries.

—Massachusetts will not get rid
of Ben Butler, even if he is defeat-
ed this year. He gives notice that
in such event he will be a candi-
date next fall, and will continue to
be as often as is necessary to elect
him, even if it takes as many years
as were required to elect Gov.
Morton. The latter was a candi-
date sixteen times before his am-
bition was gratified. This is not a
cheerful outlook for the people of
the Bay State. Their only hope is
that Butler will not last. He is
now sixty-one years of age, but is
as lively as a cricket, aud is capa-
ble of worrying them a good many
years yet.
Information Wanted.
Denison Herald
An affair between a party of
hunters and Indians occurred
about the middle of September, be-
tween Dallas and Santa Fe, in
which some of the party are re-
ported to have been killed. Want-
ed to know whether there was in
the party an English gentleman
named Richard Nicholas Morce,
and if so, whether he was among
the killed and what became of him.
His description is : Heighth five
feet eight inches ; complexion and
hair dark, regular features, an un-
usually high forehead, light built;
when lost wore mustache and
whiskers, but may have changed
in that respect. Any information
about him, if known, will be wel-
comed by his brother, who has re-
cently arrived from England iu
New York.
Miscegenation.
Johnson’s Junction, Ky. Oct.
21.—WmKing, colored, was be-
fore the criminal court of Fleming
county to day for the unlawful
marrying of a white woman. A
motion to quash was made on the
ground that the laws of Kentucky
conflicted with the fourteenth
amendment. The motion was
overruled by Jos. M. Alexander,
Judge, pro-tern., and King fined
$500. The case goes to the court
of appeals. This is the first case
of the kind ever tried in this
county.
Washington, October 21,—It is
understood that Secretary Sher-
man, in his annual report, will
show the result of the coinage of
the standard silver dollar and the
impossibility of getting it into cir-
culation. He will also state the
dangers that may arise from the
continued coinage of $2,000,000
per month. In this connection it
is stated that he will recommend
such legislation as will discontinue
this coinage until more of the dol-
lars may be needed, or so amend
the silver bill as to give the sec-
retary of the treasury discretion-
ary power to regulate the coinage
so that there will be no more stan-
dard silver dollars coined than may
be necessary to supply the demand.

Georgia Militia.
Among the more important
measures passed by the legisla-
ture of Georgia at its recent ses-
sion, was one providing for a re-
organization of the state militia
system. By the provisions of this
bill all the companies are to be
formed into battalions instead of
regiments, the white and colored
troops to be kept separate but un-
der the same discipline. The gov-
ernor remains commander-in-chief,
and for the first time a state flag
has been adopted.

to be saved by substituting elec-
tricity for gass is so small as not
