There, was considerable curiosity to see the men.

Depaty Coroner Pilgrim held an inquest on the remains yesterday afternoon the verdict being that the deceased waa aocidentlJ drowned.

He was Introonosd to the audience by Dr.

At last Kelly ran awav from there, and the witness wm sick and could not follow her ior some tune. At last the found her at Bennett's, and wanted her to come home, but Kelly would not.

cue never wia any one sns aid not want her, or that her husband did noU- Ha had always, bean good to Kelly, who, when she got a new areas on, would climb on the fences and play with boys. She need to whip her on the legs and shoulders with a switch, and not a stick of wood. She sent her to the Bisters, and they said she most beat her to keep her still, and quit pulling the dresses of the girls behind her. When Nelly went to the Asylum she could not follow her up, since she had a baby and sore eyes. One Sunday night, Kelly and another little girl eamejiome, and the mother gave her some new clothes, and sent her for a pail of water.

She brought it to the door, and said, Good-bye, mother," and then left. Not- only did the witness have sore eyes, cn Mr. Burke hand was hurt, and that, also. caused a delay in getting to see Nelly." Mr. Burke had always provided for hi family.

She had always been sble to take care of the young one, and wanted her. She had rather Inse her hfe than the child. She wanted her brought Bp a Catholic. The witness had asked Nelly to run way from the Asylum, and had tried te git her out but Miss Swan told her she could not get her except from ths Mayor. The witness was never drunk, and the most she ever drank was a half glass of been, She bad gone to the saloon, but it was to get something for ber husband.

She had never cut Kelly's head. The cars cams from falling on the breakwater. When she saw Nelly at the Asylum, lately, she seemed pleasant enough, and a month ago she wanted to be taken out, aince all the big girls were down on her. Since her sickness she has not wanted to come home. Since the suit, the ladies of the Asylum had sent Kelly nice things to eat, and she had leys, which she did not use to have.

The witness had tried to gain her affection, though she did not kiss her. Kelly said she wanted to be a Protestant, because her father was, for he was a which ha was not at all. Miss Swan said she did not want any priest there cutting up shines over Nell. Except that. Miss Swan always treated ber kindly, and said nothing sbout any other clergyman.

When she found Nelly was in the Asylum, she did not recollect whether she asked any one else to look after the girl. Nelly had trouble with Mr. Burke's children, and with the children in the street. Nobody was to blame fur it. If she could not get what she wanted, she would catch a child by the hair and pull it down.

It was after she left home that she got into all the trouble about stealing. Nelly had changed feelings since the sickness, and would not look at or speak to the mother who bad suffered for her. If she could have Nelly three days, she would forget thr prejudice. MB. BtBKK, the husband of the bust witness, said he owned the place where they lived.

Nelly was fond of play, and would be out playing, and the mother would get cross and passionate, aud whip her for not obeying, tout she did not use her very severely. He never struck the child, sud was kind to her. He never quarreled with his wife about Nelly, and was ready and able now, an 1 all times, to take her home. His wife sober, and did not drink anything. Sometimes she was cross to the children at home, but she did not abuse them.

Sue was pretty good about keeping them clean, but she could be better. Ha got a dollar and three-quarters a day, and that was all he had to keep his family on. He had talked to Father Dunne in regard to the girl. The father ceded at his house, and wanted him to appear as a witness. That was the first time be called.

If the child id sen, home to him, he would do the beet be could for ber, as he had already done. aABI BCBIt, daughter of the last witness, had taken NeDy to the public school and the Sisters', but she did not stay at the last place. She was disobedient and ran away. Mrs. Burke did not beat Nelly very often.

When she did, it was with a switch, because she disobeyed or ran away. Mrs. Burke whipped the witness when she deserved it: and she still had a scar in ber hand that Mrs. Burke made with a plate when she and Nelly were quarreling; but Mrs. Bcrke did not mean to hit her when she fired the plate at her.

She had beard her step-mother swear and use profane language. After much hesitancy and blushing, she was persuaded to say that the bad words were, The devil may take ye." Her step-mother bad never been drunk to her knowledge. VBS. Ainf 830TB swore that Kelly was a wild child. She had not seen the mother whip her, and she was reasonably well disposed.

Mr. Burke was a nice man, and very quiet in La family, and Mrs. B. treated ber children weX Ann Noian testified to Mrs. Burke's sobriety and good character.

That closed the case for the relator. The case was then argued by Mr. Moran, and continued till Monday. WALL STREET. Bevletr ef time Money, Roud, Gold, Stock, and Produce Markets.

TERRIBLE TORNADO. Curling-ton, Iowa, Visited by a Ilur Seven Persona Killed and Kimeteen Wounded 12 ousee Unroof to I'roperty. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.

The telegraph wires are all down. To Auaeucua ireoa.1 Iowa, April 5. The most terrible rain, bail, and wind storm ever known here came at a minute's notice this afternoon, creating, fearful havoc ert toss of life. The storm struck the city on West Hill, tearing the roof from one of the school-houses, and descending thence through the business portion of the city. Buildings were unroofed and a great dnlof damtgedone.

Tne most horrible part of the catastrophe was the destruction ox a. j. nraii ou ter r.d epg depot, on Jefferson street, and the death of seven persons. The bouse was blown down, and twerty-flve Tersons wars buried beneath the ruins. Mr.

Pond and three others were taken put dead, and nineteen others wars rescued more or less injured. oMti Tirnnua. r. rmia was jwiuej ni I 7 who had built up a large trade, and wa well known throughout the State. The wife and two children of Mr.

AttMstime I missed the Fourth Officer, and feared be had fallen in, when I saw him on the rock encouraging snd helping another boat along.

When all bad left but about thirty men, my bands being frozen and my legs still, they took me off, the rest fol lowing immediately. At h. as a. the survivors were landed and lodged in a wooden hut belonging to a fisherman named Clancy, who and his daughter gave them all they had msde'fires and warmed them. During the day they were drafted off to various islands about, and billeted amongst what houses there were there, Mr.

Kyan, the resident magistrate, filling his bouse, and others fol lowing ms examuie. women ui mumo At 1 p. nu, I sent Mr. Brady on to Halifax to give particulars, and obtain food and assistance also, to gat steamers down early aud convey the passengers and crew to Halifax. At p.

the tide having fallen, she broke in two abaft the foremast, the ship falling over till the sea washed completely over her. Her cargo was now washed out. Having no other officer at band, I de tailed the coxswain ana eignt men to pnmii. vu wreckers, who new swarmed around, from carrying away the saved goods, and set a watch of four men during the night to pick up the bodies of such as might wash ashore. Thsy pfcked up but five during tbe njgbt.

At daylight the customs authorities came down and took charge. I gave to a Cupt. Sheridan provisional authority to employ what labor he required for salvage, with the understanding that the salvage should not be over 40 per cent of the net value, and if this was objected to, to leave it to the arbitration of two Justices of the Peace. We embarked ail our saved, amounting to about 429, in the steamers Lady Head and Delta, and arrived at Halifax at 3 p. where Mr.

Merritt, the Cunard Aeent. who had promptly offered us every assistance. bad places prepsred for all. I have given the Company's carpenter orders to get 200 shells to Lury the dead, and an undertaker to attend to the saloon-passengers' bodies ana mat oi tne secona AAt. li i fnarnla mirrlit wriah 4Viom fiwwunljul Many bodies had come on shore before I left, some unrecognizable, but I identified Mr.

Metcalf, Miss Merritt. Mrs. Fisher, and the Chief Steward, together with several of ths others. I left the Fourth Officer and four men at the wreck to identify, take charge of tbe papers, valuables, etc, that might be thrown up or saved. Thirteen saloon-passengers were lost 20 saved; 416 steerage iost; bli steerage and crew.

But three women were seen, two I have spoken of, and one who got up beside the Chief Officer, and died in ths rigging, with her baby. In reply to questions of his counsel, he added that he was on the bridge up to twenty minuter past VI o'clock. Up to midnight there was brilliant starlight, and after that an occasional sight of the stars, and then he left the-fcridge and went to the chart-room, 80 feet a bait or tne Dnage on uie upper ueeK, wiuim easy call of the officer on deck. He got up at 2 o'clock, looked into the wheel-house, aud then lay down. In making his calculations be estimated her speed to be 11 knots.

She had increased gradually from i)f to 12 knots. The Third Officer reported that she had run 122 mOes at 12, which agreed with my calculation. I expected 41. 1,4 V.ji 1 n. 1 1 tnjlo.

stf ml MID DIU Bit nUUlU At? V. UlUfl. aVSUUA UMUWIh and lay by until daylight. Had not my clothes off at all. Had every reason to put confidence in Second Officer.

He had made two voyages in the ship, and I always found him a steady and sober man. In his cross-examination, Cspt. Williams said that the speed of the vessel at 12 o'clock was about 12 knots an hour. He reckoned that he was easterly, 8 miles off Sambro, bearing north degrees east, ha aid not shift her course, but expected to pass miles east of Sambro ledges. He never brought a ship into Halifax, and bad never been on the coast before.

His Third Officer had been in the harbor twice, bat no other officer bad ever been there. He aid not use tne lead coming to Halifax, because the night was cier, and the Samoro light could be seen 21 miles in clear weather, and 15 miles in moderate weather. I am now satisfied that when I went into the chart- room I was mistaken in the locality of the ship. She must have been lurtner nortnwara ana westward than I thought. I knew the coast was an iron-bound and dangerous one.

If I had been sounding regularly from 12 to 3 o'clock, I would have been on deck, and the ship would not have gone arhore. There were three Quartermasters, and the Second and Fourth Offi cers on deck. Had they been energetic, they might. 1 think, have seen that there was something ahead, and. if orders had been given to reverse the engines, the calamity mignt nave Deen White Star steamers are supplied with printed orders for the guidance of commanders.

Those orders are, to take all possible precautiona against fire, and collision, and wreck. There are no special initruc- tions as to precautionary steps in approaching shore. That is left entirely to the judgment of tne command ers. The officers in cnarge nave lau power to cnange the course, or stop a ship, if necessary, without con sulting the Captain, There are no special instructions as to soundings. This ended Cspt, wuitams' evidence, ana a recess was taken till 3 o'clock.

At the appointed hour, the court resumed its sion. Daniel Kinane. cabin passenger, testified. He awakened by the noise of the ship's striking, and when be sot to the deck saw that the officers were running about coniusea. ASKing wnat was wrong, ne was an swered by the person addressed that be did not know.

Two or three minutes after -witness got on deck, the boiler exploded. He clutched the rigging and the ship's side, and finally got forward to the Captain, who waa encouraging the passengers to get to the rock. The Captain and officers did all they could do. They were attentive to their duties. Never saw the Captain drink anything stronger, than lemon ade.

Do not know if the steerage passengers were prevented from coming on deck. Have no reason to aunnoae they were. Spencer Jones, cabin passenger, testified, that being aroused by the shock of the vessel's striking, he went on deck and found everything in confusion. About eight minutes after aha struck aha keeled over. The Captain appeared to be doing what be could to save the people.

He under the foremast, holding on to a rope, and encouraging the people to get ashore. The discipline on the At lantio was excellent, xne officers were gentlemen in every sense or the word, always attentive to duty. Know of nothing that could have been done to save more Uvea than were saved. Did not know nor did I hear of any effort made to keep the steerage passengers below. Nicholas Brandt, who was making bis sixth Toyage on uie niuie otar xane, aaiix tne conduct of the officers and discipline of the crew were very good.

Nothing could have been done beyond what was done to save life. After the ship struck the steerage hatches were open. There was also a passage from the steersge to the cabin. When the ship had keeled over, Capt. Williams waa below.

Witness encouraged passengers to keep moving about, and for six hours continued getting passengers into the boats. When witness turned into bed at 11. he noticed the weather, which had been clear, waa getting hazy, a night in which it would be difficult to see the land. Charles W. Allen, cabin passenger, was called, and Mr.

McDonald suggested that it was not necessary to repeat his previous evidence. Witness then testified that in his opinion a good many more Uvea would have been saved if the ship had the efficient crew. The Captain could not get any number of men to do duty efficiently. One boat remained sound as much as three hours after the ship struck. The impression of witness from the beginning of the voyage was that the ship was not well manned.

There were enough men, but they were not efficient. The Captain and officers, after the vessel struck, seemed to exert themselves as much as they could. They were competent. One rule, to exercise the crew of the boats once a week, was not carried out. But few steamers obey that rule.

John William Firth, chief officer of the Atlantic, testified At noon on Monday the Captain and I took observations by separate chronometers, nd agreed very closely. The latitude Has 63 deg. 65 longitude 41 35 min. A consultation of officers was held ss to the propriety of turning round to wHfy for coal, and it was unanimously agreed to do so as the safest proceeding. At 1 the ship was headed for Halifax, the course being north, 24 east.

Her speed was than about nine knots. I then went below. At 4 1 returned to the deck. My watch waa from 4 to 6. No alteration was made in the course.

I was below from 6 to 8. At 8 there bad been a change of weather, and several showers of rain. I remained on deck until 12. This course was not changed. There had been seme dark clouds, but they had passed, and it waa then clear.

About half-past 11 the Quartermaster told me the ship was going twelve knots. At ten minutes to 12 the Captain came on the bridge, where I was, and inquired fox the Third Officer (Brady), aa -he wished to have the distance run by the ship from 1 p. m. to midnight. Officer Brady was at the time on his rounds of -the ship.

The Captain afterwards came on the bridge and told ma be placed the ship four miles south of Sambro. I then went below. The Captain's orders were to keep good lookout for loose ice, and in the event of seeing a light of a fixed character to get it two points on the port bow, and call him immediately, and under any circumstances to call him not later than 3 o'clock. These orders I conveyed to the "Second Officer. The lead was not thrown over at all.

The lead was ready on the bridge. I waa aroused by the shock when the ship struck. 1 went on deck and found a number of men trying clear away No. 4 life-btat. At waa just clear when a sea swept lt away.

No. 7 life-boat was then cleared, and also wasned away by the sea, which waa then making a daan breach over the fore part of the ship. She bad keeled over to the windward and seaward. Passengers were taking to the rigging. There were thirty-two.

including one woman, in ths mizzen rigging with me at daylight. I remained there until about 2 in the afternoon, when I was rescued by a boat's crew under command of the Bev. Mr. Ancient. Many who left the rigging to try to reach the ropes were washed away.

was unable to swim. I was tbe last man who left the wreck alive. It was. in my opinion, impossible to have launched the boat spoken of by Mr. Allen.

It was carried away about aayiight. a have bad twenty-seven years' experience at sea, with a great many masters, and I found Capt. Williams all that could have been expected of one in his position. I have been a shipmaster myself, largely in the India trade. There could not bsve been sny attempt to keep the steersge passengers below.

The companion wave were onen. I cannot give any opinion aa to the quantity of coal she had, or whether it waa enough or not. I joined the ateamer in the morning and left a few hours later. A person might be told there were 900 tons of ooal on board, but that would no prove it Too often a ahort quantity of coal is put in ships. I considered there was not thesli0htoGt risk when I went to bed at midnight.

The course ni intended to take us about five miles east of Sambro light, Tbe point at which shs struck in, I learn.seven miles west of the light. can account for the disaster in no other way than that there waa a strong set to the northwest, which we did not know of. The Irtg was hove regularly every two hours. On two or three davs durum the Dassase. when we had no observations, our dead reckoning was found correct.

The chief steward had reported a abort supply of provisions that night, because we took on boaid more passengers than we expected. This completed the Chief Officer's statement.on the conclusion of which the Court adjourned till 10 o'clock nouoay mornmg. April 5. The survivors after dinner and an address in Faneuil Hall, marched to the railroad station through the burnt district under guard of police. The lame were furnished with, carriage.

Special D'tpatch to The Chicago Tribune, THS KAILSOAD BUXS. Bpbihgvteld, April 5. The conflicting railroad hills before the Legislature are likely to result in complications that will have to be settled by a Conference Com mittee. There is some little party and personal feeling displayed. The majority have evinced a desire to father the bill that will suit tne farmers, while the minority are inspired by tbe same ambition.

"Then uiidrup nas nis personal friends, who wm stand by him, and Connolly and Dunham and Donahue Stave theirs. The Biver men feel sore over Connolly's bitter opposition to the copperas Creek dam. but he was manly, and doubtless sincere, in his opposition, and if his bill Is good, it should not suffer on account of his views on otner subjects. That would be a narrow and dangerous policy. Then Donahue made a speech against tne connrmauon oi narper, witnout a reference, for which Harper's friends would like to retaliate by kill ing his bill in the House.

Donahue's loss would be Con nolly's gain, and vice versa. Then there are insur mountable currents of personal feeling affecting the general result, its- senate la not in the tarns frame of mind on the railroad question. aa when it voted unanimously for the Donahue bul. A change has eome over it, and there will be no more unanimous votes for railroad bills. 1 be Senate Is disposed to stand by the Donahue measure, and the House may refuse.

must be a conference to adjust differences, and it is exceed ingly doubtful if any compromise will receive the two- thirds vote necessary to save the emergency clause. The House resumed the discussion of the bills this morning, the question being on the motion to refer. Mr. Armstrong, of Grundy, opposed the mils, because they were defective in not defining the offenses of un just discrimination or extortion. were provided against intangible offenses.

Mr. Leitae objected to the Senate bill because it allowed private persons to go to law ana make money out of litigation. He objected to the Senate and Connolly bills because they prohibited any discrimination, whereas the Consti tution prohibited unjust discrimination only. The effect of the clause providing that a greater charge should not be made for the same distance on different parts of the same line, for the same class of freight. was tantamount to prohibiting any discrimination.

He objected to all the bills, on the ground that they' would be inoperative if the Railroad commission were at any time aoouaued. Mr. Cassedy defended the Chairman of the RatLroad Committee, and believed that all the Committee were honest and sincere. They should remember it was easier to tear down religion or a bill than to buiid ons up. The age was iconoclastio rather than constructive and conservative.

The question was com plicated and somewnat abstruse, demanding the closest scrutiny and investigation of the most profound intellects. They should have -faith in their bills, and discuss them with the calm and dispassionate logic of statesmen who were earnest in their endeavors to rectify the wrongs now afflicting the agricultural community, and, indeed, the entire people. He expatiated on the willingness of the peo ple to sell corn at IS cents to subdue the corporations' Ate oenevea in separate taus. Mr. McAdams read an oration against railroads and reference.

Tbe motion to refer the bin to the select Committee of Thirteen prevailed, and the other bills were sent with it. Mr. Hildrup. In accordance with the resolution, re ported back three Kan road bins, wniun were laid upon the table, to be taken up at any time. One waa the Dunham bill, prohibiting 'unreasonable or extor tionate charges the others, two Morrison bills, the nrst to estabusn a reasonable passenger, ana tue ond reasonable freight, rates.

ADJOURNMENT. The weather was so warm here yesterday that mem bers sat their shirt-sleeves, and would have taken off their boots but for the ladies in the gallery.

It is thought here that in such emergency the Board of Trade, as a matter of self -defense, would be compelled to resume control of the inspection under authority of its charter.

Joseph MediiL the two leading members of the Civil Service Board, the following obtained irom nignautnonty are known to be facts.

It is the intention to continue competitive laminations in the departments as fixed in the reg ulations, but appointments will not rigidly depend on these. It is known thaMbe Hon.

Wm EiotfsTiry, tat rretldtat, Annual Meeting of the German Society for the Protection of Iniml- grants. of the Society's Agent Election of Officers Remarks of" 'George I Schneider, Esq. The annual meeting of the German Society for the Protection of Immigrant and the Friendless was held Friday evening, at their office, 23 Metropolitan Block.

After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. Mr. Charles Eiidree, the agent of the Society, made bia report for the month of March, which contains the fol lowing interesting facts During the month of March, 1,170 persona appeared at the office of the Society asking for aid and advice, of which number 595 were seeking work, while 262 wanted money. Sixty-one persons were provided with lodg ing, and 22 with free passes. Sixty-seven families were aided with coal, victual, and clothing, which waa furnished by the County Agent and the Chicago Aid and Belief Society at the request of the Society.

Two hundred and four persons aaked for information and advice only. The agent says that people wanting good laborers or mechanics could be provided with the best, kind of workmen free of charge by leaving their orders with him at the office of the Society, and lt would at the aame time relieve many unfortunate men from want and suffering. Daring the last month thirty-two emigrants lost their baggage through the carelessness of railroad companies and their own ignorance, which was recovered after considerable correspondence by the Society. Many eases of swindling were reported during the month, most of which came from laborers, who on payment of $3 had been sent to other States to work on railroads, but having arrived there found that they were not only swindled but also sadly imposed upon. In some of these cases the Society has brought suit against these swindlers, snd hopes are entertained that the culprits will be brought to justice and their nefarious trade exposed.

As an example of the fear emigrants have of runners and swindlers in this city, the following is a specimen Forty emigrant families arrived from New York on the Pittsburgh Fort Wayne Bailroad, but. from information they had previously received about our emigrant nouses and runners, tney were airaia to enter the city, and disembarked at Englewood, pre ferring to camp two days on the open prairie. As they were suffering from cold and privation, he (the agent) persuaded tiiem to come to this city, and secured them proper boarding-houses. ourteen new members have joined tne society during tha hist month, and they have also received a donation of 23 lots at the new cemetery "Waldheim'' (formerly Haas' Park), to be used for destitute emi grants dying in this city. At a later period a monument will be erected thereon, which will bear the following German inscription "Hnr rcht nach sorg una mueh una leia, Wenn ihr des wandrens lnuede seid." (Best here after a Journey of trouble and grief.

B-derudorf, Arthur Krbe, A. V. Atesing, ana uaneul AU lanes emus. George Schneider. Esq- in accepting the office of President, said that the activity of the German Society during last year had been productive ox more oenenciai results than ever before.

Great demands bad been made on the Society, and they had been able to satisfy them, more or less. The German Society was the only non-partisan, non-sectional German xtelief Society In Chicago, and for that deserves the wannest support of all generous uermana living in this city, lae man agers had devoted much time and labor te advancing the objects of the Society without the least expectation of reward or recompense, feeling themselves amply re paid in the knowledge of naving relieved the wants or many umortunate out mertionous i amines. Besides his labors as President of the Society, he was also engaged in another enterprise calculated to great ly benefit emigrants arriving in this country. Two years ago a convention waa held at Annapolis, Md for the purpose of making the emigrant question a national question, namely, that congress anouia enact laws for the protection of emigrants who come to this country with tns intention ox becoming Ameri can citizens, snd to compel proprietors of emigrant ves sels to treat them humanely. A committee was appointed by that convention, of which he bad the honor to be tbe President, and which waa instructed to bring the matter before Congress in a proper si- The result of the consultations of that committee with the Secretaries of the different departments at Washing ton, and several members of Congress, was that Secretary Bout we II appointed Mr.

Frederick Myers, an American of German descent, to attend to this matter, and Mr. Myers had taken hold of it with great energy. This gentleman bas worced out a bill of considerable merit, which be (the speaker) had in his poesession, and which, if enacted, would have the most beneficial results. The same had already been introduced in Congress, but, as it usually takes long' time to carry great measures through thai body, the matter was referred to the Committee of the Whole, and laid aside until next session. That the bill waa a good one could best be seen by the circumstance that nearly all the proprietors of emigrant vessels and the different railroad companies were doing all in their power to defeat the measure, ine bill had never yet been published, and he hoped that the pre- of the country, especially the Amrim would take bold of and discuss this issue.

Fisher came in to ask me some particulars about the ship, as he was writing to a newspaper. He stayed about twenty minutes. My intention was to run on until 3 a. then to heave to and await day. At midnight the ship's run was 133 miles, which would place her 48 miles south of Sambro, the speed, by the log, at 12:20, being 9 knots per hour.

The night at this time was cloudy and clear. At 12:40, my servant came up with my cocoa, when he was told not to awake me until 3 a. wnen tne second ameer worn a cau me. The first intimation I had or anything, was the sup striking on Meagher's Bock, or Meagher's Island, and remaining, keeling lightiy to port. The officers were quickly at their stations, accompanied by the Quartermasters.

The first sea swept; away all the port boats, and the ship keeling over rapidly soon rendered the starboard boats useless. Every effort was made to send the people forward outside the ship, but terror defeated all our efforts. The Second Oi'icer was in the starboard life-boat. I carried two ladies and placed them with him, and returned for more. Before I got as far aa tha saloon entrance, finding the ship going over still further, I managed to get hold of the weather rail and get back to the life-boat.

I took the ladies out, and placed them in the main rigging went back and called to the Second Officer to come out as the boat would roll over, which she did in a few minutes, carrying with her Mr. Metcalf, and from thirty to forty men. Finding I was no use there, I returned to the main riggings, and found that the la dies bad gone. The Chief omcer, Mr. Jfirth.

got up into the mizzen rigging, where his retreat was soon cut off, and he had to remain there until 8 p. when the weather and sea moderated with the falling tide, and he was got off. Mr. Brady, the Third Officer, finding the boats useless, went forward, and, with the- assiatanoe -of the Quartermasters, Speakman and Owens established communication with, a rope to the small outlying rock, distance from the starboard bow about forty yards. Owena swam first, but failed to get a footing.

Speakman then tried and succeeded. A stouter rope was hauled on the rock, along which Mr. Brady passed, followed by the oldest of the men. By this time it was 4 a. m.

I was at this time la the main 'rigging, 'trying to get the passengers there collected to make an effort to get forward. Many weut, but the larger number, several saloon passengers among them, lay there and died. The Purser was the first to succumb to the intense cold that prevailed. Finding myself of no use there, I go( slocg outside the ship to the fore rigging got the foretheet's ticks unwove and sent ashore. Ws now had 'five ropes to the rock, along which men to the number of 200 passed safely, though nearly exhausted on reaching the 0cks.

Mr. Brady, accompanied by Messrs. Owens, Speakman, and Thomas, now got a line across the inner channel, which was about 108 yard, wide and shallow, though with a heavy surf running through. They then went up and gave the alarm, and sent a messenger to' Halifax. About fifty got to the larger island by the line, though many were drowned in the attempt, among the number being the Chief Steward, who was drowned by a passenger crowding him down.

I. with the Fourth Officer, encouraged as much as we could the people, about 450, who remained on the ship's side, te keep moving, and keep from falling asleep. In many cases they gave right up, and died apparently without any pain. Twelve men seated together laid down beside me, and, despite all effort to rouse them, died, and slipped into the sea. At 6:30 a.

m. tbe first boat came, but she was too email to be of any use. At this point the Captain's feelings overcame him, and it was several minutes before lie could proceed. In about twenty minutes more the large boat was launched, and proceeded to take the passenger of tbe email rocks. She was in naif an hour followed by two others.

I auc- feertag the ship would part end trymen. Mr. Macdonald's voice snd accent were broad fteb- One almost expected in glancing at the stand toseea-Hielandman-in plaid, and standing before him. As a speaker and reader ha did tint TU audlters profoundly, although they listened with atten. tion to the close.

Mums thereupon struck him a blow in the face, which knocked him down, -l then kicked bim until he was insensible. Officer tdin, bearing Wilson's cries, went into the barn and arrested Mume.

Wilson, who lives on the upper floor ef tbe barn, waa taken to his room, and attended by Dr. Clarke, who certified to the officer that Wilson had sustained a compound fracture of the right leg, and it may be necessary to amputate the limb. At the meeting of the library Board Testerdav afJ ternoon, at which all the members were present, the Secretary waa Instructed to commnnioate with Mr. Bobaon, ia London, and authorize him to subscribe' to the Csxton, Chaucer, and other Seaieties. The Secretary was also instructed to procure the United States Patent Office porta.

The matter of bindlna the British Patent Office Beporta was discussed, ani deferred for further consideration. Tbe following motion of Mr. Bheahan's was adopted That the Sao. retary be Instructed to procure from the Secretary of State of Illinois a certified copy of tbe act of ths Legislature ceding jurisdiction to tbe United States Government over the land exchanged for the late custom-house site, forward same to the Secretary of the Treasury with the request that he take the necessary steps to complete the exchange. A resolution was paaaed authorizing Mr.

Herman Baster, while in Europe, to obtain information relative to the purchase of books, and such other information as may be of benefit to the library. The Committer' then adjourned. The capture of tbe river-Thieves at the Van Bursa street bridge, on Friday night, baa resulted, not alone, la the breaking up of a band of robbers, but the reoov. ery of a large quantity of plunder. Yesterday moraine the detectives found pounds of Iron, which had been stolen from the dock-yard of the Chicago A Alton Bailroad.

Tbe property was tn the possession of Micheal Boeder and William Boas, junk dealers, of N04 405 North Clark street, and ia valued at $326. It was delivered to the Chisago A Alton Company ester daw afternoon. Boeder was arrested and bound! over to the Criminal Court in (1,000 bau, and Boss iuj $2,000 bonds, far receiving stolen property.
