T., June 8.—Explore™ sent out by Governor Torres, of Sonora, to ascertain the existence of a volcano, as reported, near Bavispe, Sonora, have returned. They report an active volcano fourteen miles southeast of Bavispe, In the Sien* Madre mountains. The party could not approach nearer than within four miles of the mountains. The crater was pouring forth immense volumes of smoke, fire and lava. Boiling water issued from the side of the mountain and lava in vast waves slowly poured down the mountain side in the canyons, which are being filled up. The boiling water has destroyed vegetation in the valloys in the vicinity. One peculiar feature of the volcano is its great activity. Bowlders weighing ions are hurled down from the crater.

JOHKSTOWIT, Pa., Juno 8.—The operator at Hoovervlllo telegraphed that the town was completely submerged with water and the inhabitants fleeing to the hills; that several large bridges had been washed away and were going down the river in a current running eighteen miles an hour.

Chester, Pa., June 8.—The boiler of a locomotive attached to a south bound freight train an the Philadelphia and Baltimore railroad (Baltimore an»l Ohio) exploded in front of tin passenger station in this city at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, killing one man, seriously injuring several others—one of them fatally—and wrecking the station. The air was filled with flying pieces of iron and timber and scalding water. A number of persons were standing on the station platform and several were badly scalded or cut with flying missiles. One man was Instantly killed. John Murphy, aged 21 years, telegraph operator, of this city, was so badly scalded and injured that his death is momentarily expected. Following is a revised list of the killed and injured: Joseph W. McCane, 25 years old, dead. John Murphy, telegraph operator, Second and Kerlin streets, badly scalded and hurt about the head. Baltimore, June 8.—Cardinal Gibbons arrived here yesterday afternoon on the Pennsylvania railroad express which left Jersey City at 10 a. m. He was accompanied to the depot by his secretary, Rev. P. J. Donahue, and a committee headed by Maj. John D. Klrby. Many distinguished priests were present. At Hooverstown, a suburb, upward of twenty residences were washed off their foundations. At least 100 families in this borough alone lost everything. The water has subsided so as to allow pedostrians to walk ovor the upper streets. In Grnbbtown, Conenaughborough, MorriUville, Minersville, Cambria City and Cooperodale the same scene is presented, and it is estimated in the suburbs and this city 200 people are homeless. All telegraphic connections between this city and up river points, where the storm was spent, are cut off. It takes longer for man. to And ont man than any other creature that Is made. Flowers are the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to pat a soul into. New York, June 8.—At Jerome park.

A man without self restraint Is liken barrel without hoops and tumbles to pieces. The Baltimore delegation which received him at tho depot and accompanied him on the train consisted of Mgr. Elect McManus, the Rev. Dr. Foley, the Rev. Dr. A. Mangien, the Rev. John G. Gateley and CoL R. A. Jameson. The Bav. Dr. P. A. Chappell and the Rev. J. A. Walker, of Washington, also joined tho party. Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy is a public bene* factor. The exploring party says the noise proceeding from the mountain was most terrific —like a number of vast engines at work, accompanied by sounds of thunder. The air was dense with smoke and cinders. The party had great difficulty in approaching within four miles of the mountain owing to the great chasms made by the earthquake, and all the roads and trails are totally wiped out The country is fearfully broken up. The entire Burface of the earth presents a woebegone appearance, and not a bird or laying thing could be scon within ten miles of the volcano. The town of Baviape is a complete ruin. . The people have all moved out on the high plains and are living in tents, in mortal fear. There has been a constant tremor aad co»ti»ual series of shocks daily since the first earthauake shock. Quite a heavy shock woa felt In Tucson. Tho greatest event In a hen's life b made up of an egg and a cackle. But eagles never cackle. One of tho members of the party accompanying the cardinal said that, while not willing at presont to speak on the labor question, ho would soon issue an address to Catholics connected with labor organizations advising them to cut loose from the George- McGlynn party. The town of Bethel, thirteen miles south of here, is reported completely swept away. This village claimed a population of 800 people. The loss is estimated at $190,000 or more. A proud man Is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks that he gets as much as he deserves. That cannot be a healthy condition In which few prosper and the great mass are drudges. After coffee had boon served ex-Mayor Grace, in introducing tbe guest of the evening, said they had gathered for the purpose of paying their respects to a man whoae sacrifices on behalf of the cause of the people of Ireland had not only endeared him to the people of his native land, but had created sympathy in the hearts of all Americans. Mr. O'Brien, in responding, was received with enthusiastic applause. He said that ho had had a fair share of difficulties during his mission to America, but he assured tbem that the principal difficulty to-night was to find words to express his fervent gratitude for the Undoes shown him during his visits. Referring to the episode which had diversified his stay-in New York, he would say that a very few gentlemen who professed interest in the cause of Ireland had seemed rather disposed to imitate the methods of Lord Lansdowne's friends. He did not regard these men as Irish Nationalists, and he did not believe they were true Americans. He believed American public opinion had already condemned them and their methods. He wished to say nothing harsh of the principal figure in that affair, Mr. McMackin, but the simple truth was that it was a question of gratifying Mr. McMackin by destroying Mr. Parnell and wrecking the movement which bad cost the Irish people so many years of labor and self sacrifice. His action had stricken dumb the tongue of English slander. When Mr. McMackin talked of the Irish people as ranging themselves with him and the murderers of Cavendish and Dtarke, he (O'Brien) was obliged to remind his people that he had stood beside them in many an hour of trial and danger when Mr. McMackin was not there, and would do so again. Long before the arrival of the train the streets leading to the Union station were thronged with people wending their way thither. There was enthusiastic ovation at the depot and a reception was held in tho ladies' waiting room. Yesterday afternoon the carcasses of at least fifty horses, cows, sheep and hogs passed down the river. Boston, Jane 8.—First day, circuit races, Mystic pork.

The cardinal was received by Mayor Hodges, the members of the city council, judges of the courts and police commissioners, who took the right of line. On the part of the Catholic societies the cardinal was received by Charles A. Bonaparte, the trustee of the cathedral and a committee of the clergy, who took their positions in the line in the rear of the civic officers. As the head of the line moved the societies forming the several divisions fell in to make up the procession.on the Superintendent.

Clark, superintendent of public schools, was shot yesterday by Professor Thomas Posey, principal of the high school. The men had a personal grudge of long standing. Professor Clark had occasion in the afternoon to visit the high school He made some remark which displeased Professor Posey, and the latter drew a revolver and fired throe times at Professor Clark. The room was full of pupils, mostly young women, and their screams attracted pupils and teachers from other rooms and a crowd from the streets. One of the bullets took effect in Professor Clark's right jaw, another in his right shoulder and the third in his arm. He was carried home. The physician who examined the wounds said that they were not necessarily fatal. Lambort Potts, carpenter, Cecil county, Md., shock.

One of the original tendencies of the human mind, fundamental and universal, is the love of .other people's private affairs. The Situation In Afghanistan Dally London, June 8.—Dispatches received from India represent the situation in Afghanistan as growing more serious day by day. The ameer, apprehensive of losing his power through the successive defeats his foivea uave mot at tho hands of the Ghilzais, and the recent revolt of the Shinlvatyia against further payment of tribute, is in a pitiable state of physical and mental health, and the Indian government sees in this fact the necessity for propping up his toppling throne or assuming full possession of his dominion. Russia, too, is taking advantage of the situation to fortify herself at Khoja, Saleh and other places within the zone from which she was debarred by tho delimitations of the British commissioners, and obviously intends to remain there if she can. The Muscovite press counsel tho czar to disregard British interests in Asia and look after his own by advancing Russian troops from Khoja Saleh, where they are massed in fo'oe, and occupying Herat in the event of British occupation of Candahar. The Indian government is advised that Russian agents are still intriguing with the governor of Badakshan, the most northeasterly of the ameer's provinces, and in the event of Russia's advance toward Horat there will be nothing left for that official to do but to submit to Russia's dictation as to his action, since he will be entirely isolated. Military preparations in India are Ix-ing pushed with all possible rapidity, and an army corps will be en route to Candahar within a short time. Grows Mora Alarming. This is a good world to sin in; but, so far as men are concerned, it is a very hard world to repent in. It is a bitter world; it is a cruel world. Poverty is very good In poems, but it is very bad in a house. It is very good in ma-rims and in sermons, but it is vary bad tat practical life. When the head of the column reached the cardinal's palace there was a halt, and the cardinal, with the clergy and guard of honor, entered the building. Marine Intelligence.

Clark, No. 814 Penn street, lacerated wouftd of scalp, bad contusions and ■hock. A cow is the saint of the barnyard. She could be fat if she only would tie selfish. But she economizes beauty that she may be profuse in milk. The depot, a handsome new building, which cost 118,000, is badly wrecked. A number of houses located on the south side of Twelfth street, opposite the depot, were damaged more or leas by fragments of the wreck. Mrs. William McDevitt, an aged lady who livea at No. 809, was sitting at a front window sewing when the explosion occurred. She shriekod as she was almost blown into the next room, while a shower of broken glass fell around her. A large piece of boiler tube was thrown against the house, and pieces of timber were blown through the transom and in at the windows. Mrs. McDevitt is suffering greatly from shook, and it is feared that the cannot survive. There the cardinal was Invested with his official robes, and, returning to the street, a procession was formed and moved to the west or main entrance of the cathedral, when there was a formal reception by Mgr. McColgan, and the service for a cardinal's reception was performed for the first time in Baltimore. It is said that Professor Posey was envious of Professor Clark, who was his superior, and desired to have him superseded. Both men have families and arc highly connected. No city bred man has any bushms to expect satisfaction in a pore country life for two months unless he has a genius for leisure and even laziness. Three separate addressee wore presented to the cardinal. Mayor Hodges welcomed him on behalf of the city or Baltimore; Charles J. Bonaparte spoke for the Catholic laity, and tho welcome on behalf of the clergy was tendered through Mgr. McColgan, the vicar general. New Laws. Debt rolls a man over and over, binding him hand and foot and letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the long legged interest devours him. Albany, N. Y., June 8.—The governor has signed the following bills: Conveyance of real estate between husband and wife; relating to health and docency in school districts ; amending chapter 310 of the laws of 1843 (recording certain documents); for free instruction in industrial drawing in evening schools; relating to Eastchester bonds owned by the Manhattan Savings institution; amending the charter of Portchester; escheat bill of Carl Louis Schafer, of Hempstead. Killed by Lightning. Our government Is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quickminds, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution. Lexington, June 8.—Two yearlings by Red Wilkes were killed by lightning on the farm of V. C. Cromwell, In this county. They were valued at $3,600. A filly by Wanderer, out of Ouida, belonging tp Mr. D. Hughes, was also killed by lightning at McGrathiana. In his responsos to theae addresses tho cardinal held entirely aloof from the labor issues and other public questions, which it is generally believed called him to Rome. His speeches on theae points were studiously noncommittal, and his language was confined solely to an expression of the pleasure it gave him to be onoe more in his own city and among his own people. A man is a great bundle of tools.. He ie born into this life without the knowledge of how to use them. Education is the process of learning their use, and dangers and troubles are God's whetstones i with which to ksep them sharp.—Appleton's "Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit." i ; At first it was supposed that a rttmber of people had been killed, but as the sufferers were extricated from the ruin! of the depot it was scon that though there were many wounded the death list would not be very large. Many marvellous escapes are reported, the most remarkable being that of E. Dixon, the onglneer. When the explosion occurred he was sitting in tho cab. His cap had been blown over his eyes, thus protecting him from tho escaped steam and leaving him uninjured. The dismantled engine was hauled to a siding above Potter street, where it was found that the oxploaion was what is termed a "iddo oxploaion," something that very rarely happens, it is said, most accidents of this kind lieing caused by the blowing out of the front or end of the boiler. After Mr. O'Brien had concluded, toasts were responded to by Charles A. Dana, Bishop O'Farrell, Rev. W. T. Lloyd, Governor Green, of New Jersey, and Col. W. L Brown. At the close of tho banquet Mr. O'Brien was eeoorted to the Adriatic, which sailed this morning. His cscort was tbe Sixty* ninth regiment, members of the municipal council of the league and a large body of citizens. Before leaving the banquet Eugene Kelly, on bohalf of the Irishmen of New York, presented Mr. O'Brien with $25,000 for the Irish people at home. Washington, June a—Mr. W. W. Corcoran, who was stricken with paralysis, is resting quietly. The paralysis has not spread to any other port of his system. His mind is perfectly clear, and he takes freoly tho nourishmont allowed by the physicians. Mr. Corcoran Mo Worse. London, June 8.—Sinoo the revelation! made by The Pall Mall Gazette and the passage of the criminal law amendment bill the public have believed traffic in children to be impossible. A case in the Lambeth police court has, therefore, caused a universal sen- Ration of horror. Edward Procknell and three women were arrested, charged with keeping houses of ill repute and with.having procured for their patrons scores of girls from 10 to 14 years of age. Wicked London. At tho close of the religious service the cardinal and thn clergy returned to the palace, and the procession, which had moved through several of the principal streets, returned to Charles street and was reviewed by tho cardinal. The oeremoniea throughout were of an imposing character. Capt Morton, the well known Birmingham aeronaut, to building •balloon which to to whip creation.

This fabric, which to being manufactured In France, to an intermixture of silk and cambric, and will'be worn very strongly, but to weigh as light as possible. Capt Morton intends having it coated with a special preparation, consisting of the best India rubber, as he considers, after many years' experience, that It win be better adapted in every way for ballooning purposes than the old fashion*! method of oiling. He also finds that it forms a perfect gas holder, and offers a better resistance to the elements. The valves will be improved upon, and will be fitted with four powerful springs, thus keeping the shatters as oIcm as possible to the plunge, and preventing • leakage of the light gas. The netting, although light, will be of great strength, and Mean Gorton & Sons, of Dudley, will supply the materials, which will consist of the finest Italian hemp. Capt Morton expects to complete the for Whit week, and hopes to arrange for its ascent in Birmingham. He will use It for his voyage in August from Dover to France in the Channel balloon race.—Boston Tnuasaript Biggest Balloon of AIL JAMES Q. BLAINE.

Nxw York, Jane 8.—Few of the hundreds who thronged the corridor* of the Fifth Avenue hotel yesterday with the single aim of seeing Joint* O. Blaine were gratified even with a glimpse of him. It was his last day in the country in many months, and he was very busy. He was np at 0 o'clock and ready to welcome Mrs. Blaine and his daughters, Marguerite and Hattie, who loft their Augusta home on Monday evening. His sons, Walker and Emmons, Joined the family for breakfast, and shortly after the political friends of Mr. Blaine began to arrive. It wax soon quite apparent that if he received all of his visitors he would have no time to arrange the details of his trip abroad. There was aoushel of cards in his room lost night. A WIFE'S DEVOTION. Paris, Jane 8.—The government of Francs has instructed French ambassadors and ministers to foreign countries that France cannot agree to the Anglo-Turkish convention respecting Egypt, except as a basis of negotiations.

Clinging to the Man Who Cut the Throat of Her Infant Daughter. Bed Shirt's Opinion of Parliament. Pittsburg, June S.—Frederick Hermann, who beat his wife almost to death and cut tlio throats of his child and himself, is still living, but his ooae is considered hopeless.

The Atlantic Wins First Prise—The Washington, June 8.—Assistant Secretary Maynard listened to arguments by a committee of the Philadelphia Textile association in favor of including the oxpense of reeling and skeining in estimating the value of imported yarns. They Want the Dntj Increased. New York, June 8.—Bay Ridge scored two splendid victories yesterday in the regatta of the Atlantlo Yacht club. The ruleo'-thumb failure of last yoar, the Atlantic, which never captured a cup before, beat the PrisciUa over the thirty-eight mile courso by 10 minutes and 41 seconds, and vanquished Lieut Henn's cutter, the Galatea, which tried to to take aw%y our cherished cup last season, by 23 minutes and 37 seconds. The .feature of the regatta was the wonderful performance of Mr. J. Roger Maxwell's Shamrock. If she had been classed with the giants she would, with time allowance, have sailed away from all of them. Even as it was, she knocked out the Galatea by 10 minutes and 66 seconds, and surprised the Corinthians on the Priscilla by leaving them 5 minute* and 38 seconds astern at the finish. It is almost a foregone conclusion that she will enter the trial races, to which yachts of the second class are eligible, and it is not by any means improbable that, with time allowance, she will beat the big four, including the Mayflower. Bhe has not been tested in heavy weather, and her tenderness, very apparent in even the light wind of yesterday, doubtless will prevent her from successfully wrestling with the giants in a gale.  Shamrock's Oreat Performance. Mrs. Hermann did not know of the murder of her child and her husband's condition until yesterday morning. A11 night sbo hod been lying cut and bruised from her husband's murderous assault But when the time came for the removal of Hermann sho got up and, with many protestations of love, declared that she would not bo separated from him. Sho accompanied him to the hospital, watching him as tenderly as if he haCl been the kindest husband in the world, while tho body of her murdered child was being prepared for burial by the undertaker. Mr. Blaine, hie wife and daughters took a Fifth Avenue hotel 'bus at 5 o'clock this morning and sailed on the North German Lloyd steamship Ems at 7 o'clock. Mr. Emmons Blalno said that his father would probably be gone until July, 1888. Mr. Blaine has received over 800 invitations from prominent people in tho United Kingdom and on the continent to visit them. His last visit to Europe was when he attended the Faris exposition in 1867. The Iron and Steel Worker*. The Boys Released.

There were thirteen persons aboard at the time, and all escaped with their lives by jumping. It will require an outlay of $40,- 000 to repair tho damage. Washington, June 8.—It is an interesting financial fact that the large pension and interest disbursement) chargod by the treasury bookkeepers to the accounts for May were not actually paid out until tho current month. In view of this and expenditures soon to be made, treasury officials do not contemplate any flKincial stringency. After July 1, they say, $19,000,000 of remaining 3 per cent, bonds are to be redeonyd. About $7,000,000 interest on 4 per cent, bonds will be paid, besides the expenditures of the increased appropriations incident to the beginning of each now Theee officers feel justified in predicting that during July and a part of August at least, there will not be a withdrawal of money from circulation greater than the amount to be paid out Some Alterations Necessary.
