I have been in business with him for fifteen years, and whilo I knew he was very, careless, I never had supposed him dishonest.

New York, Aug. 12.—Tho United States government, through the state department, is investigating the charges made by Capt. John W. Wines, of the schooner H. S. Marloe, recently wrecked at the mouth of th» Ozama river, in San Domingo. Capt. Winet alleges that his ship was deliberately run ashore and plundered by officials of the San Domingo government. He asserts, in his appeal to tlio government, that after his vessel had been run on the coraLreef he anchored her, left his first officer in charge, and wont ashore with the intontionof securing lighters to unload the cargo so that his vessel could be floated. When he sought to return, he alloges, the captain of the port refused to allow him to board tho ship, and whon he called the official's attention to the fact that the vessel was being stripped of her rigging and blocks, and wrecked under the eyes, of the government offiers, this officer treated his appeal for protection with contempt. The captain considers that the flag under which he sailod has been insulted, and ho demands indemnity for.the loss of his vessel and cargo. American Asi London, Aug. 12.—Reports of the unhealthy condition of the prisons in which Irish political prisoners are conflned ore causing considerable excitemcnt and the government, naturally, comes in for its share of the blame. Many of the more excitable critics of Mr. Balfour do not hesitate to charge that the worst peetholos among the Irish prisons are purposely selected for the incarceration of those convicted of violations of the crimes act. The condition of the prison at Falcarragh, particularly, is referred to as a disgrace to civilization, and it is pointed out that, although the attention of the authorities has been called to it repeatedly within the past year, nothing has ever been done to remove the danger of an epidemic, to which its filthy condit'in has been a standing invitation. Nbw York, Aug. 12.—Albert C. Savage, a well known engineer, has entered suit in the supreme court, Brooklyn, against the Pacific Mail Steamship company for $25,000 damages for the benefit of his infant daugh ter, Conchita Valentine Savage. The basis of the suit is the disfigurement of the child by smallpox contracted on the steamer Newport on a trip from Aspinwall in April of last year. — making one (f the most dm s rous Breg ever CLUBS. had in this pi-tee.

This suit recalls a strange romanco connected with little Conchita Savage. She was born about two years ago in tho mining camp of the Rosario company at San Juancito, Honduras, where her father was then engaged as tramway superintendent. In that wild, weird mountain settlement the boautiful blue eyed babe soon became the pet of the camp. Par away homos and tender recollections were recalled to tho rough minors exiled in that distant foi eign land by the appearance of the little one. Almost insensibly she exercised a subtle and powerful iiifluenco over every soul in the plaCxD. Games lost loss will be cor side nt 1».

Strkator, Ills., Aug. 12.—Thetaiiners' mass meeting in this city was not large, but its spirit was decidedly warlike. The contingent from Kangaley was extreme, and dominated the meeting to the discomfiture of the more moderate Htreator miners. A motion to compromise on 75 cents was passed, but wis reconsidered through the efforts of the Kangaley men. Six delegates were elected to attend the joint confcrcnce of miners and operators, to be held under the auspices of the state board of charities, at Joliet. They were instructed to accept 77]4 cents as a basis of settlement. Secretary Cheeseman, of the executive committee, advised the Coal Run miners not to accept the award of the board of arbitration unless tho clause relating to the term for which said award was made binding was stricken out.

At a meeting of tho Coal Run miners they determined to stand by the ayrard and go to work under it. A committee from the Coal Run miners waited on tho officers of tho company and effected an arrangement by which any settlement arrived at by the district as a whole will be accepted In placo of the award of the arbitrators. The miners aro hopeful of an advance being sccured and show as much determination now as ever. The attitude of the operators is rigid and uncompromising.Tho flrst victim was the brig Ozama, which was wrecked in the mouth of tho liar bor. She failed to obey her helm, it was claimed, and went ashore on tho east side of the channel. Little was thought of this wreck, and while the captain fretted about what he claimed to have been gross carelessness on the part of the pilots no other attention was paid to tho affair. The next victim was tho schooner H. 8. Marloe, whose plucky captain says his vessel was deliberately beached, and furnishes evidence to prove that the channcl was clearly defined and that the pilots were warnod that they were steering in the wrong direction. Thf Marloe was wrecked and looted May 24. By this time the Yankee captJains in port had become thoroughly aroused, and wheD the schooner James Slater, which had been lying in the roadstead just off the fort, started to come into the harbor, May 80, with the two government pilots on board, her movements were noted from the fort by a number of Americans. The Slater was run by the mouth of the harbor, going out of tho channel on the east side. The captain saw his danger, and, in defiance of the fact that the ship was in charge of tho government pilots, ordered his men to let go both anchors, and, throwing the colored pilot from the wheel, hove tho ship into the wind. The anchors held and tho schoonor swung around with hei head to the tide, but so close in shore that her stern struck tho hard bottom with such force as to make her leak badly. Petitions were circulated in all the dissenting churches in Liverpool, Sunday, the ministers taking pains to explain to their congregations that the statemonts that the expense of the defense had been borne by Brierly, the unfortunate woman's paramour, were untrue.

Lot your voice be for concord and amity, shun the counsels of those who would fill your minds with the poison of hatred and distrust, and bend your energies to the noble work of drawing closer the ties of friendship which bind other nations to your own.
