tribnUries with the Eastern Atlatic sea board and Gulf of Mexico 2 That it has been the policy of Congress and desire of the people of the Northwest for many years to inaugurate a complete system 01 water channel improvement having the for its base that to give greater efficiency to this pol-i 'V there should be constructed from the Mississippi river on the most direct and feasible route io the Illinois river at Hennepin and thence to the lake at Chicago a canal adequate to the present and future transportation needs of that great part of the Northwest to whose people such a work of internal improvement is an imperative necessity for relief from expensive freight rates on the produce and commerce of the country and that this work so long needed should be immediately commenced 3 That the

October The bodies still unclaimed are being enclosed in shells and removed to iJoill'a Hill where they will be visited by many anxious friends who are in search of their missing ones The story of the disaster as given by competent witnesses who were on board shows that the illfated vessel was on her last trip and that on setting out from Spring Bank to return to the city the Mississippi river under the auspioes of I there heard sounds of such delicious sweet the Mississippi River Commission created I ness that he steod entranced Following by act of Congress is a work of great ds- I the

subject of an admirable picture by Adjoining ihe Dollar Store orderly There was no chasing about the boat nor any pranks of any kind A Eooa as the boat started however she proved to be deeply listed to tbe starboard and passengers on the promenade deck were requested to move over to the port aide Some of them did so but stiff the steamer did not straighten up to tny extent Again passengers were requestea to remove to the part ride though a large majority of those on tbe promenade deck wctc a ready over there At this time he looked down the curupanionway and saw con-rabte depth of water on the main deck which he then-feared accounted for the extraordinary listing of the steamer to starboard At ery short turn after this and only a moment or so before the disaster the Captain paased through the crowd remarking you keep over to that the port side yon will have to swim for At this several more of the passengers moved over to tbe port side and tbe boat suddenly righted and then listed heavily to the Hrt side which was not more than forty eel from the land Down shewentwith astonishing rapidity and to sxve themselves those on tbe promenade deck datched stanchions that supported the awning overhead but they snapped like pipe-stems and a moment later the supports of the promenade deck gave way and (he whole wreck slid down to the port or shore side of the hull into the water Montgomery caught hold of an iron rod or bracket of some kind in the awning and holding to this managed to keep his head above water for some seconds afterthe collapsed promenade deck beneath his feet had gone into the water His position at this time was terrible Below the deck which had sunk from under bun he knew scores were perishing drowning like rats in a hole while the awning to which be was clinging was rapidly sinking and carrying beneath it men women and children whose piteous shrieks rent the air On every side mothers with children clinging about their necks would beat the water madly with their hands and with eyes starting from their sockets utter shriek after shriek till the last balf-shoth-ered cry that ended iu a sickening gurgle told they had gone down beneath

Montgomery asserts that there was no tetenng or rolling of the steamer from side to side tihe was listed to the starboard all tbe way up tbe river till just at the time of the accident and then she rolled suddenly to the port and went to pieces just as one would sweep a house of cards off a table dontgomery is of the opinion that the upset would not have been atteuded with half as fatal results had the steamer been uroperly constructed Many or perhaps nearly all might have been saved had it not been that they were swept down by the sudden collapse of the flimsy upper works and huried in the wreck where strong men and prattling children were alike helpless To-day this is a city of the dead Business is practically suspended except in such branches as are connected with the arrangement of funeral matters In the Eoorer quarters of tbe city the authorities ave been giving away coffins and medical nteu have nobly responded to the calls made upon them by the Mayor and the municipality officers put forth every effort to meet the emergency As far aa money and friendly aid can mitigate the grief nothing will be lacking The citizen were shocked at the sight of fair women and tender children who have been carried through the public streets on drays or iu carts out it was not until the wholesale order had been given by the Mayor that sufficient pine could be found to encloee tbe remains of the lost ones The intense gloom over the community here to-day was only relieved by the brightness of the sun From an early hour bells have been tolling and funeral processions wending through every street on the way to the several cemeteries All business place are closed and the city wears the aspect of Sabbath with amighty solemnity pervading all No one speak or thinks of anything else than the great calamity and it has had a paralyzing effect on all classes ot citizens It has been decided to erect a memorial in Mount Pleasant Cemetery All this day one could not walk a block without meeting some procession nThere are many stranger on the streets from the country ports and neighboring towns In several cases entire families with one or two exceptions have been wiped out for instance that of Mr Jas Coughlan whose children and grandchildren numbering live are lying dead in the house of his daughter Jennie was married to a young man named 8wazzie the day before the accident The couple were both drowned The family of Hall loses live in one house Every kind of coffin is in use and the dead are being conveyed to the burying pieces by every clas of vehicle The remains of William McBride were carried in a light wogon followed bv a procession a mile long Men can hardly speak to each other without breaking down The scenes in the afflicted households are terrible and trying to the strongest nerves The clergymen who have worked nobly all through are tired out and cannot reach tha graves fast enough In many cases the members of different families are put in one grave Tbe different societies are on hand and doing their utmost to facilitate the burial The longest procession to-day was that attending the remains of Willie Glass and Miss Cooper who were engaged to be married next month and died together in the water A couple of hundred well tilled vehicles followed the hearses which passed along side by side: The search fur the dead this morning raised ta little girls clasped tightly in each other's arms as they no doubt had Ellen together in the water Several cases of robbing the dead are reported Airong the articles missing is a gold watch and chain which Mr Mill man had worn and a gold necklace of a young lady The wagon were busily engaged and in tome case to make money and count as much as possi ble the corpses were hurried into hou9ee in an unceremonious manner and the driver hurried off for another load In one instance a driver brought a body to a certain number and finding no person in and the dodr locked pitched the bodj through the

had nearlv all her passengers on the way down and in addition a lartre number who were waiting on the wharf to be con-eyed home The number ou board on the return trip is estimated at seven hundred a burden out of ail proportion to the strength and capacity of the vessel Shortly after passing Woodland Cemetery the boat began to rock and the crowd surged from one side to the other with each oscillation rather enjoying the fun than being in anyway alarmed One passenger stated that a number of youths on the upper deck took a delight in keepingupthe rocking motion by moving from one side to the other while others shouted gleefully let her sink only have to wade a It is said by some though denied by others that the officers in charge endeavored to induce the passengers to remain quiet but their efforts were unavailing The crowd surged from side to side with each movement of the vessel increasing thequantity of water oh the lower deck to the terror of some aud deiigbt of many more of those below No one seemed to foresee the danger Suddenly the position became alarming When nearly opposite Cave bridge water to the depth of a foot or more rushed in on the south side 01 the boat and the crowd surged again to the north side of the boat slowly following the movement by hastening over to that side This time the vessel almost turned on her edge and the deck floor became elevated to angle not far from perpendicular All at once the supports of the upper deck gave way with a terrible crash on account of the unnatural position and great weight imposed Over the great railing the people tumbled by hundreds headlong into the deep water and to make the situation more terrible the whole upper deck and supports went crashing down upon the wretched victims tearing and bruising the struggling mass of humanity which thus became engulfed in the dreadful watery tomb The scene that followed beggars description Between the wreck and the shore could be seen scores of human beings who had become liberated from the debris and were battling with the alement into whose cruel grasp they were suddenly thrown and slowly but surely yielding to its power Many who were so stunned by the crash as to be unconscious sunk with out an effort The work of recovering bodies was then commenced and has been continued nnremittinglj ever since The steamer Princess Louise came alongside in a few minute In a short time both her decks and every available inch of space was taken up with dead bodies Tears came into the eyes of many a man of iron nerves as he gazed upon the bodies of boys and girls as they were taken from the river clad in tbeirholiday attire and carried in sympathizing arms aboard the Princess Louise Meanwhile tidings ware conveyed to the city and crowds of anxious ones Hocked to the scene to learn if possible the fate of some one that was dear to them Many of the bodies are terribly bruised and mang'cd from the crush of timber which came down from the upper deck and in many cases the features nave evidences of the desperate struggle which must have taken place A visit to the scene shows the Victoria to be a complete wreck being literally an ill-constructed vessel broken into splinters It is said on good authority that her boiler was not properly secured and it shifted with the rocking of the boat Hardly any portion of the vessel is visible above the water Captain Raokin who had charge of the ill-fated Victoria at the time of the disaster makes the following statement were on the last trip lor the day having made three trips previously We had not very heavy loads going down as there was plenty of room on board but when we got to the wharf at Spring Bank there was a large crowd waiting and before I could get the passengers off the boat the others rushed on the after part jumping and climbing in every direction I ordered them down off' the top of the decks and threatened I would not leave the wharf till midnight if some of them did not get off One gentleman Mr Powell of London East said to me are not going to put me off are And 1 said You had better get He did so and is now alive Very few paic any attention to my orders and only about fifteen or twenty went off the boat After we started a number of people on the lower deck began surging and moving around Presently I noticed slightly different action on the boat and being unable to leave my post at the wheel sent a boy down to the engineer to ascertain if there mras any danger 1 was looking forward to a sand bar about 2U0 yard ahead on which I intended to beach the boat That was my desire because was beginning to get anxious Just then a couple of row boats came along side the occupants of which were racing and the crowd rtibhed to the side of the boat to see them The engineer then sent up word that we had better try and get the crowd to go aft because the watei was coming in Just then the crowd made a rash to tne port side and as they did so the vessel Just took a lurch and went apart bow down Then the boiler shifted from its tion and went through the side believe the vessel would have recovered herself ouly for the boiler going over and as it went it carried away the main deck and that let down the top deck with the crowd above There were not 100 people on the lower deck because the space below ia largely taken tip with the boiler and machinery The aft part of the boat wrent down but the fore part came to the surface and the boat was spread about six feet apart The result was that many persons were imprisoned between the water and the top deck hich came down above them but they had breathing space of a foot or so which would have saved many had not the others persisted in climbing on the floating deck thus crushing it down and smothering those underneath I rescued one man who had been under this deck for four minutes before she went down I did all 1 could to prevent the people from climbing on it A great number of them had the presence of mind to awim oat from under the deck outside or end lathis way they were saved In a few minutes all thus imprisoned were drowned and 1 then swam to shore and sent to the city with ail speed The tonnage of the boat was about nineteen tons Hat bottom scow ahapen at both ends and registered to carry 400 passengers I do not think we had more than 450 on board because there is not standing room on the boat for that number at eight inches space to each person The boiler left the deck before 1 left the heel The stanchions from the main deck were the main supports of the upper deck She was well stanchioned but there were braces and had life-eaving apparatus for 400 persona The boat waa going up slowly and the syphon and pony pomp wera both working I attribute the disaster to the fact that the vessel leaked because when I sent the boy down to the ngine be said there was naif an arm's length of water in the hold I was praying earnestly we might reach the sand bar where i intended to beach her until we could get help I spoke to the people on the upper deck to keep qniet snd they were tolerably agreeable on the lower deck Tbe purser a son of Manager Parish had tne greatest difficulty -He came up and told me that there were a lot of young fellows below whom it was impossible to keep quiet I would have run on shore only the bank was so steep I knew it was useless because she would have turned outwards on sinking the bank The boat was mauaged by myself an engineer and fireman two deck bands and purser bhs made two trips on Saturday two on Monday and thred yester la

parts Gamesters a copy loaned by Orr is another fiue picture whose interest centers in three figures This copy is as fine a picture as could be desired and is doubtless the work of a fine artist Tbe name indicates the nature of the picture two persons gambling one a roue on whose face have gathered all the haggard lines of trouble and recklessness the other a youth whose innocent look shows his unfitness to cope with his antagonist even were not the accomplice at his rear revealing every card to the professional gamster on the other side of the table Tbe coloring in the picture is good in

under her arm looks in as she passes the window with a broad African smile indifferent to the tribulations of the family Matt Hastings of Bt Louis sends an Indian scene entitled the which contains excellent work A party of Indian marauders have swooped suddenly down on some lonely settlement and seized a young girl The chief throws her across bis saddle as his horse turns to retreat This action ia well portrayed and the picture as well painted as it is spirited in conception Biddle also of 8t Louis sends two pretty girls the Garden shows a Spanish girl waiting for her lover Dressed in bright yellow satin with a red sash passing around her waist and hanging at her side she stands against a Bomber brown wall leaning od a stone post ber right band shading her eyes as she watches with eager anticipation for the approach of the loved one The flowers bloom around her feet one of which is thrust forward so as to show the worst work iu the picture the bedlydrawn and equally badly painted foot The jaunty hat with its yellow ribbon set piuuantiy back on her head and theroaein her hair finish the picture except the wide lace collar around the neck fastened with a bunch of flowers low in the breast The position is most graceful and easy and the effect very pleasing Another fault is in the ooioring of the flesh which is scarcely that of nature This faftlt is also noticeable iu Mr larger picture A young girl lies gracefully on a low couch her head supported on her hgnd ber mind lost in deep thought The drapery in this picture is good Nothing could be finer than the effect produced in the drees and the cloak upon which she lies The dresa shows at a glance the material to be satin Tbe background ia well adapted for throwing the picture forward and giving it a charming distinctness The flesh coloring is not all good A third and smaller picture by Noble hangs in the northern alcov Lang Tbe two old friends have met together after many years of parting in the same room perhaps where they played together some of their boy hood pranks and aided by the o' pensively recall the bygone days with a sad pleasure at the recollection The old clock that has marked tbe passage of all the years since last they met hangs on the wall and slowly marks the passing time Though small this is one of the very fluest pictures in the collection Mr Setzer a Nashville artist has two pictures the smaller one containing a bit of pretty work The water and the view beyond to where the bine sky is visible tbrongh a break in the foliage at the end of the long path form a beautiful picture with some pretty sunlight effects almost equal to Brenner The foliage in the fore ground of this picture ia horrible The trunks proclaim the trees to be beech The leaves are not beech indeed by tbe foliage it would be difficult to classify them Mr Setzer however gives promise of better work and even now the central part of bis RichlaBd creek picture has work in it that no artist need lie ashamed of George Dury has a number of portraits which show the excellence usual to his pictures a little child with a dead bird in her hand is a good picture The large brown eyes filled witli tears and tbe sad expression on the little oue' faces tell their story plainly Tb-s Mari-nots a copy after Lancseer is another of Mr pictures Miss Mary Spencer a prominent art teacher of Cincinnati sends some fru and flower pieces which are dainty in conception ana admirable ln execution They rank much above the ordinary fruit and flowers painted by artists In the southern alcove Mr Webber has two other pictures the of and a on Orange Island the Home of both of which are of ordinary merit a flower picture by Mr Levitt owned by Dr Dake Is a beautiful group of Calls lilies intermingled nicely with other flowers Hammond of Cincinnati sends four water color sketches which are fairly done Cooper sends a life-sise portrait of Gov Hawkins which is of course a good piece of work being by Mr Cooper but it makes His Excellency just a trifle too good looking The Governor is not handsome man Peter Colvert loans six admirable pictures none of the artiste names being known From the work however it is certain that they were artists of no common order The largest is a still life picture of fine ft pish Two are European scenes two of soldiers in armor and the last of "Oxen Plowing" None of these are open to any unfavorable for all are gems of art Two flower pictures by Miss 8usie Gentry attract much notice as they are finely executed work Six scenes in Tennessee by Mlse Mery Hacker show soma admirable effect notably tbe four autumn scenes The foliage on these is peculiarly fine and yet not gorgeous It is the simple red of nature not tha red of the artist that tints the foliage on the trees in those pictures The finest small portrait is oue of Charles Dickens by Mias Mery Bpeucer Indeed nothing conld well be better The Nashville College for young ladies and the Tennessee Female College of Franklin make creditable displays of th work don by Supila In those schools The work is evi-entiy done by the pupils themselves and is of a fair standard for that class of work There is a large display of portraits and sketches in crayon of which only the portraits by Misas Mattie Schleier Susie Gentry and Minnie Wall 1 deserve especial mention Tbe pbotographie exhibits are also si tarn ted in the Art Department and show tbs wonderful perfection which photography has attained No photographers In the world conld make a better or more creditable display of work than the ordinary custom work exhibited by our leading photograph galleries For securing a large snmber of these pictures thanks are due to that indefatigable art-lover Theo Cooley Esq who made arrangements with several Cincinnati afld Louisville artists to send pictures Messrs Lindsley Clarence Boyd Hammond 8 Noble Webber and Miss Mary Spencer cheerfully responded to the application for pictures by sending- a number of fine paintings that have ended no little to the enjoyment of ail who visited the Exposition In fact Mr Cooley secured about all the good pictures A large number of pictures ere not mentioned in th above report The reason is that they are benrath criticism There ere unfortunately a very large number of picturee in tbe gallery that should not have been admitted on an terms A very few paintings ot real merit form a more enjoyable display and go much further toward developing the artistic appreciation of th multitude than tha same pictures when surrounded by and comingled with a host of poor work by poor amateurs who know nothing of real art It is to be hoped that more discretion will be exercised in admitting pictures to future exhibition ia Nashville Th matter waa more carefully managed last year though then tber we inferior work admitted without being placed In the official catalogue keftulectw'wa Foraatoby Jeagermew to Fuhtte ftqemra Burnham A Co im FhnerH

is fair in variety and pleasing in arrangement By far the greater part of the real art works are in the center alcove The first object meeting the eye is a magnificent copy of celebrated Greek Slave said to be equal in all respects to tbe original which attained such world wide celebrity Tuis marble was purchased many years ago before the war by a wealthy Southern gentleman and brought home from Italy His widow now being in reduced circumstances offers it forsale It is a fine piece of work and more than worth the price asked The exquisite grace of the figure the easy naturid position and the fiue finish make it an object which none pass without admiration The largest painting is one of Rogue river Oregon by Lindsley of Louisville which is asplendid piece of mountain scenery showing a river breaking Into foam as it dashes down tbe Bteep rocky valley Huge dark mountains tower on either side covered with the scanty foliage of the Cascade range and give to the valley a somber lonesome look The coloring and finish are eminently adapted to produce the intended effect that of' soli tarv dreary grandeur On the south side of the same alcove are a group of landscapes of an entirely opposite character a series of views around Mont Eagle Springs Tenn These are painted by a Nashville artist Ulen-denning and are the finest landscape pictures exhibited Forest Point the largest of the pictures is a work of real merit The poiut which gives name to the canvass is the foreground elevated above the surrounding trees and hills the highest piece of ground ao that while the trees on either side are in deep shadow the last lingering rays of the setting sun light up the points together with the projecting bushes From the point there is a look downward of over a thousand feet Stretching away in front is the long wide valley with the mountains on either side presenting a magnificent vista of twenty miles in length all visible to the naked eye The far off hills fadeaway in the distance Darkness falls on the valley but on tbe mountain tops play all the gorgeous hues of a setting summer sun The sky is full colors the bright colors that the sky can borrow only from an August sunset when the blue bits are just visible here and there through the magnificent cloud tints that prevail wherever the eye can see The purple haze of deepening twilight in the valley forms the finest sort of contrast with tbe npper part of the picture The artist seems to revel in the light to glory in portraying the brightest fantasies of the sunshine but when his brush attempts the shadow it succeeds as well One of the most admirable features in all the Monteagte pictures is tbe great variety of phases in which the artiai has transferred the sky to his canvass and tbe fidelity to nature with which each phase is copied Whether in the grand colors of an autumn sunset in the lighter stiller colors of an early morning or the clear blue and white transparency of a clear quiet day or in any one of its countless changes the beholder is impressed with its truth to nature The blue transparent sky of is an admirable piece of work The pioture contains little light It is a faithful representation of seenery in a deep ravine with Mont-eagle Falls in the beck ground and tbe cool green trees on either side shutting out all but a little patch of tha sweet June sky Two fishermen with rod and line are suggestive of the to be found in the limpid depths of the oool waters The bluish atmosphere of a mountain gorge is well reprsentded even the coolness in the very air itself seems to smile invitingly upon one from the picture Iu the fourteen smaller pictures surrounding these two are many vary pretty bita of mountain scenery Bpaoe forbids oar particularising each but most are fair
