AFFAIRS IN BALTIMORE.
The Slave-Compensntloa Conunliialon
II. Itlves Pollard Indicted for Assault
Business Pull, Etc.
KVKIUNO TKLKQBAPH SPECIAL CORRESPON DK30 E.
Baltimore, December 10.
The new Boaid ot Commissioners to adjust the
claims or loyal slave-owners, whose slaves wore
either dratted or en inted in tbe United Statos ser
vice, is now organized and in session here transact,
ing business. Its jurisdiction extendi over Mary
land, Delaware, and West Virginia. Hew and im
portant instructions, or regulations, have boen
adopted by the Government at Waahtngton lor its
control. This nn toes, or tenders usoiess, neariy all
that was dono by the Board ol Commitsloncrs who
pieviously sat in this city lor nearly two years.
Thousands of claims were prepared at great
trouble and expense by owners ot enlisted or drafted
slaves, and dipoMted with tho old Board .according
to its rules and requirements. All those claims have
now to be withdrawn and prepared anew, to moet
recently adopted lorms, which are more intricate
and stringent. Ihe whole work, intact, bos to be
done over again, at much ttoubie and expense,
when this is accomplished, the chances are Con
gress will repeal tho law and knock it all in the
Lead.
It is thought, however (and hoped, no doubt), by
the now Commissioner here, who got eight dollars
per day, that the claims will be eventually paid,
though none of them nntil all are iu.ly adjusted and
pasted upon. This may consume several years.
flie Grand Juiyot our Criminal Court has in
dicted H. Hives l'ollard, lormer editor oi tho Rich
mond Examiner, for an assault with attempt to
kill a voung man named Freucric Hipkins, ol Nor
folk, Virginia, by shootiug mm with a pistol. Ihe
affray took piaco some two months ago in this city,
and grew out of a matter in whiob Mies liaitie Alex
ander, of Virginia, acted a proimnont part.
l'ollard clnimed her as his vvhe, and he fancied she
was too Intimate with Hipkins. A pistol ball, fired
by Pollard, psssed through IlipkioB' left thigh,
shattering tbe bone badly aad endangering his lifo.
lie is still confined to bis room. John Wills and Q.
W.P. Smith, of tho firm ot bmith & Wills, are en
gaged as counsel upon the part ot Hipkins, to assist
the Htate in prosecuting this case. The trial will
commence as soon as Hipkins recovers sutllclontly
to attend Court, and will eliott considerable interest.
Pollard la out on 85000 bail, and he proposes pub
lishing another newspaper in Richmond, provided
be is not convicted and given quarters elsewhoro.
Business bore is quiet, and very muoh unsettled.
Merchants are airaid to purchase beyond thoir im
mediate wants, owing to the downward tendency oi
prices. Bono.
NEWS FROM FORTRESS MOriROE.
. Additional Particulars of tlie Explosion
on the Steamer "Thomas Kelso" Only
Three Persons Killed Probable Re
covery of all tbe Injured The Steamer
"George B. Upton" Disabled, Etc.
Fortress Monroe, December 9. My telegram
of last evening embodied so fully the facts con
ceded with the explosion on the Bteamer
2 nomas KeUo, at halt paBt 3 o'clock A. M. yes
terday, near Wolf Trap Light, while on her
downward trip from Baltimore, that there is but
very little to communicate.
The steamer John tiyvesler, which my tele
gram lett on her way to the scene of the d isaster,
reached the disabled steamer about 10 o'clock
last evening, and at 1 o'clock this moraine bad
towed her safely to Nortolk. Traces of the ex
plosion are painfully visible throughout the
steamer in the shattered woodwork, soiled
carpets, and general confusion and marring of
the saloon furniture. The damages in this
reeard and to the steam-drum of the boilers,
although not so great as was anticipated at first,
constitute but a small item in contrast with the
loss of life and suffering tortures and maiming
of the scalded.
As is usually the case after every steamboat
and railroad catastrophe, conflicting stories are
already circulating loucmng toe responsibility
of the disaster. Some allege that the steamer
was crowding her speed, while others, including
the engineers, assert that she was only making
her ordinary headway, under the average weight
of steam. The probability is, that it is one of
those accidents likely to happen to any steamer
under the most carelul management. Tho only
serious disaster before the present one happen
ing to any of the steamers of the line to which
tbe Ke'so belongs, was the burning, in 1858, of
the steamer JVorfA Carolina.
The steamer will be repaired at once in Nor
lolk. Her place will be taken by either the
'steamer Oeorge Leary or Louisiana.
Tbe three firemen killed by the explosion were
to-day buried at Norfolk. An investigation into
the causes of their death, involving at the same
time an inquiry into the causes of tbe disaster,
it is understood, will be made by the Nortolk
coroner.
There are no names to be added to tho Ut of
scalded sent lost night. All ara under excellent
treatment. It 1b now believed that none will
die of their usuries. JV. Y. Herald
