Another Frlgltftil Calamity on Lake
Mic big-am
The Chicago Fost of Wednesday last relates
the following:
Eiebt years ai?o yesterday, on the 8th of Sep.
ttni ber, I860, the steamer Lady Elgin, loaded
with a merry excursion party of some 400, went
down oft the shore of Evanstou, In a stormy
nUzbt, and over two hundred of her passengers
perished. Five months aeo to day, on the 9th
of Apitl, 18G8, the 8ea Bird, early on a rouh
spring morning, caught Ore, burned, and sant
Willi tome seventy-five unfortunates. Between
the time of those two terrible disasters, ana
since then at intervals, sail boats have been
cap?ized and sunk near this port, carrying down
one or more of their crew, but no disaster has
occuried in our water in any decree so appal
line or general as that which met these two
noble steamers. But we are called upon to-day
to record a terrible calamity, somewhat similar
to these, although of much lew magnitude the
sinking by night of a heavily loaded steamer,
in mid-lake, with all on ooard, involving the
sudden loss, it is feared, of over lifty souls.
The propeller Hippocampus, a small steamer
pljlri? between this port and the opposito side
of the lake, left Bentou Harbor, a mile or two
Inland lrom bt. Joseph, Micnteaa.abouthalt-past
10 o'cluck on Monday nieht, having on board,
as it is believed, some thirty-live passengers
and a crew of sixteen, and being heavily loaded
down with peaches lor this market, besides
other freight there being 8000 baskets and
boxes of the fruit on board, stowed away in the
hold, crowded upon the muln deck, and piled
high upon the hurricane deck. Tne day had
been a pleasant one, and many residents of
St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, as well as some
citizens of Chicago, had taken passage, ex
pecting a sound night's rest and a sate arrival
here by early daylight yesterday morninp.
Steaming down the river from Benton Harbor
lhe boat made for the lake, but ran aground on
a bar at the mouth of the harb r, and was de
tained half an hour or more. She finally got off
about eleven o'clock and put out into the dark
ness, the night having by this time become very
stormy. This is the last that has been heard of
her, although she should have been at this port
early yesterday morning, and numerous boats
have crossed and recrosed the narrow channel
of sixty-five miles between the two shores of
tbc l h V p.
The steamer Gomet, of the Goodrich line,
which left St. Joseph on Monday night, aad
reached here last Tuesday mornin?, reported
the Hippocampus aground on the bar, but sub
sequent despatches reported that she lelt as
stated. About midnight, a sudden and violent
6quall struck the Uomet, but her size and
staunchness prevented any injury, though her
freight shlited so that she ran ail night with
only one wheel in the water. The little propel
ler, however, naturally inclined to careen, and
top-heavy as she must have been with 2000
baskets of peaches piled upon her hurricane
deck, and carrying a careo oi 2000 more baskets
than ever before, doiibtluss capsized in an
instant, and weighed down with the fruit,
which will sink like a bullet, plunged heavily
to the bottom of the lake with her sleeping
passengers.
As yesterday forenoon wore away and the
boat did not arrive at her dock the agent began
to fear a disaster and to ninko inquiries about
her. The steamer Dunbar arrived fiora St.
Joseph, and bringiug no news of the missing
boat, was sent out to search, three tugs also
beii g chartered for the purpose. Up to noon
to-duy, however, no tidings have been received
from the regular and special boats traversing
the lake, and there is no reason to doubt that
the beat and all on board have gone down in
the de ep water.
The names of the persons on board are not
yet at curately known, but the cautatn of the
Dunbar reports that theie were thirty-five, and
it is probable that several were citizens of
Chicago,
Tne Terrible Slorm in South Jersey
i.ons $U30,000.
On the 3d instant the southern portion of New
Jercey was visited by a terrible sturm, creating
a lre6het which damaged property 1 1 the extent
of at least $050,000. The oners of mill pro
perty are the heaviest losers, their loss being
variously estimated at irotn $250,000 to $300,000.
About 8 o'clock on the evening of the ii the
rain began to tall in torrents, and continued to
jiour, with scarcely an intermission, daring the
whole of the night. Three counties Camden,
Salem, and Gloucester were thus visited, in all
of which ereat damage has been done. So sud
den and so uninterrupted was the tall of rain that
mid-owners were unable to open the flood-gates
of their mills in order to save their property
irom destruction. The los9 in Camden county
Js estimated, at fully $00,000. without takljg
Into Consideration tne expenses necessary to
put mills in working order, and the lo?s
sustained by the cessation of work. In Salem
county the loss cannot be less than $180,000,
-while is Gloucester county the damage is
estimated at $100,000 -an aggregate of $310,000,
to which should be added the expenses of
necessary repairs, and the loss cannot there
fore be less than $G50,0C0. The Willlamstowa
and Blackwoodtowu turnpike, in Camden
county, was swept away for a distance of about
250 yards, involving damage to the extent of
$1500. Communication was entirely cut off in
some srctioi s ol this county, and the roads that
were barely passable atter tho storm continued
in a wretched condition, everywhere bearing
marks of the visitation. Only two mill
dams are lcit standiug in the county.
Among the number damaged are those of
Joel Kirk bride, at White Horse; Tomlmson's, at
Clementown: Stevenson's, T. Cheeseman, Benja
min Prosper, Jesse Turner, and John Prosser, at
Good Intent, and Sheldon and Pickett, at Bethel.
In Salem county a much heavier destruction of
property is reported. Among the mill-dams
destroyed in this county are Watson'., S. W.
Miller's, Elwell's, and Dlament's, at Alloway
town, and Bullingei'i', at Jjuretown. Only three
miles were left btaudmK on Alloway's creek.
Fences, sheds, outhouses, etc., were removed
bodily, and roads were greatly damaged. The
bridges In the county were mostly all swept
sway by the rushing water. In Gloucester
county affairs are almost as bad. Not a null dam
wa3 left undisturbed on Mantua creek. The cul
vert at Mulllca Hill, which has withstood the
storms of seventy years, was Jswept away, as
were also the bridge at Carpenter's Landing,
and on the Mullica Hill ttiropike. All the cul
verts on the Westville and Glassboro' turnpike
were w at, bed away, and the railroad embank
ment over tbo meadows at Sweedsboro' was
sioiilirtly treated. The mill-dams destroyed In
this county were those ot Messrs. Clark, Driver,
Jessup, Wines, ana Dinrnent. Vf illiam Moore,
while watching the destruction of mill-dams at
Good Intent, was swept away and drowned.
Last year a freshet occurred in this section of
the Bta'e, and mny of the dams then swept
away and since replaced were destrojed on this
occasion. The loss then was much less than
that caused by the storm of last wpek. The
work ol repa'r is already tu active progress, and
in a short time the mills will be replaced.

A NEW YORK SENSATION,
Tbo Widow of General Eaton and her
Terpnlchoroan Ilunbaud.
The New York Herald of this morning con
tains the following:
It will not be forgotten by those now living,
familiar with the society of Washington during
the Presidential terra of General Jackson, that
Mrs. Eaton, the wile, of General Jbatou, then
Secretary ot War, was refused recognition by
the eiiie at that period resident there. They
will also remember that the inflexible will of
Jackson overruled this objection, and in time
Mrs. Baton was acknowledged as one of the
reigning belles of that period.
That "truth is stranger than fiction" Is again
exemplified in the case of this same Mrs. Eiton,
who iB still living, will be readily admitted after
the perusal of the following lacts regarding her
career subsequent to that time:
At the death of Geueral Eaton his widow was
lelt with such a handsome competency that she
commanded the respect ot her former associates
in Wabbington, and retaining her widowed
condition until the autumn ot 1857 she was the
aumired of an admiring throne. At that time
she became enamored with au Italian dancing.
master, one Antonio Uuchignanl, who was tneu
teaching the lads and lasses of the capital the
at ot tripping the light fantastic. He was gay
and attractive, and, in fine, so ardently dll he
return the alfection that, notwithstanding the
disparity ot ages, she being sixty-six and he but
nineteen years of age, they were married. Here
Mrs. Buchignanl experienced new troubles in
spite of her wealth, lor her old friends fo.-sook
her and refused to recoguize her when on the
stiect with her boy husband, and for one year
her parlors were closed and they lived in seclu
sion. At the end of the year, however, he be
haved himeelf so nicely that her former friends
overlooked her shortcomings and once more she
was admitted to society.
At this time, 1858, through the Intercession of
United States Senators, Mr. Bucbigoani, after
refuting several political and military commis
sions tendered him, was made the librarian to
Congress, which position he held two years.
The seeming felicity with which the lives of this
remaikable couple ran along was only imagi
native, as Antonio succeeded by intriguo in
obtaining the control of the bulk of his wife's
property some $73,000 and one opportune
moment he decamped to the sunny soil of Italy,
with the entire amount, not neglecting to take
a female partner, In the person of his wile's own
grand-daughter, a blooming girl yet in her
teens. In the city of Lucca, twenty-rive miles
from Leghorn, the absconding pair lived in all
the princely grandeur which their surreptitiously
gained fortune enabled them. But the shadow
of a dark cloud even then encompassed their
existence and still again it was marked that with
"ill gotten gains the pilferer never prospers,"
as Antonio lost or expended the bulk of his for
tune, and with tho little lelt he fled wit J his wife
to Montreal, Canada, there embarking in a
common business enterprise.
Forgetting or not tearing his shameful act,
Antonio a lew days since came to New York,
where his aged wife had been living several
years, supported by a son, who Is a Custom
House official, and she, hearing of the fact, with
the additional information that his business was
to secure the sum of $15,000, looked about
for the means of his arrest, and yesterday called
upon Justice Ledwitti, who issued a warrant to
this effect. Here the once youthful husband
was brought to grief, as an officer found him at
a hotel in Chambers street and conveyed him to
a Station House. It was not long before his
aged wile, who had loved "well but not wisely,"
confronted him before the above Justice, and,
telling ber story, demanded support. Antonio
admitted all the charges, but not caring to agree
to an allowance of $8 per week for this purpose,
he was committed to the care ot the Commis
sioners of Public Charities and Correction. This
disposition of the bandbox dandy did not suit
him, and late last evening be was discharged,
alter a prominent and wealthy lawyer of the
city entered into bonds that this amount should
be paid weekly.
Since Antonio has been living with the grand
daughter two children have been born to them,
one of whom is still living.
Mrs. Buchignanl is an intelligent, well-appearing
woman, about 6eventy-eight years old; and
says, with all his faults, she still loves him
dearly; that the did not care for her money, he
was welcome to that; but she wa greatly
injured by his disturbing the peaceof the family
by living in open adultery with one of its
members.
Antonio Is a fine specimen of an Italian, good
looking, and about thirty-one years of age, who
seemed to treat the matter with indifference,
and accompanied the officer to prison quite
unconcerned, as though he were going Into a
dancing ball to instruct his pupils, having no
scruples neainst reducing his wife to almost
beggary, and himself to shame and disgrace.
Verily, "truth 1b fctranger than fiction."
A Sad rimse of City Lite.
A f addenlng phase of city life was developed
yesterday, during an examination made by
Inspector Dilks, at tho Central Police Office,
into the circumstances surrounding the entic
ing ol two young girls irom their homes in Bos
ton, and inducing them to lead a lite of shame tn
a house of prostitution in this city. A few days
ago a respectable woman, in rather indigent
circumstances (whose name for obvious reasons
is not made public), residing in Boston, called
on superintendent Kennedy, ana inrormea mat
official that her daughter, a beautiful girl, but
sixteen years of age, had been enticed from her
home about a month previously, together with
another young girl of about the same age, and.
as the was lea to Dtucve, ootn tne gins uaa
been induced to adopt a life of shame in one of
the houses ot ill-repute which abound in this
city. Inspector Dilks was given in charge of
tne case, ana learning an mat mo nioiner
could tell him, detailed Detective smuu to
work it up, as the whereabout) of the
girls was then unknown. After a gre.it
deal of research the detective succeeded in
finding the girls in the disreputable establish- 1

street. The woman Davis was arrested, and
with the girls was brought before Inspector
Dilks. The girls stated that they had been
induced to leave their homes iu Boston by a
woman known as Mrs. Bartlett, who keeps a
vile and infamous den on Twenty second sweet.
who beguiled them with the usual aad fatal
promises of an easy lite, tine clothes, plenty ot
money, and nothing to do but to enjoy them
selves. The girl whose mother had instituted a
search for her stated that she bad been induced,
in a certain degree, to leave her home and lead
alifoot shame and iniquity by the facts that
her mother was in feeble health, and was
compelled to labor unceasingly tor the sup
port of the family, as her lather, who was
a thriftless vagabond actor, hal abandoned
them to their own resources, and the waaes
the girl earned as a ballet girl at oue
of the Boston theatres was not in any way
sufficient to support the suffering family, or
procure for them the bare necessaries of lite,
bhe further stated fh.it before she would con
sent to come to this city with Mrs. Bartlett she
stipulated that a certain portion of ber earnings
should be sent weekly to her mother, which
condition although readily agreed to, it Is
needless to say was not complied with. The
gir's came on to this city, and became inmates
of the den o! the woman Bartlett, where they
were initiated into the degrading lifeof commou
bawds. They remained there but a short tttup,
however, for their earuiues, although entirely
monopolized by the woman Bartlett, were not
sufficient to satisfy her avaricious propensities;
and one night, stripping them ot the gaudy
apparel with which she had supplied them, she
drove them forth into the street penultesB
and with scarcely sufficient clothing to prevent
indecent exposure. At thts moment the woman
Davis picked them up, aud took them to her
bagnio, where they were again decked out in
fine clothes, and from that time forth until they
were found by the police thev remained Inmates
of the establishment, greatly to the profit of
ibe proprietress, lue gins stated that the wages
of their sin and shame amounted to between
one and two hundred dollars per week, which
was all taken by the woman Davis, and during
all that time they did not receive any money
whatever. When they attempted to leave the
house In charge of the detective, a huge negress,
employed in the house, insisted npon stripping off
the dresses and hats the girls wore, acting, no
doubt, on Instructions from her mistress; butshe
was prevented from carrying out her design by
the detective. When arraigned before the In
spector, the woman Davis stated that the girls
had not earned more than enough to pay their
board and the necessaries with which she
claimed to have supplied them. A very affect
ing meeting took place between the mother and
the erring daughter; the former declared that
no matter bow vile a lite ber daughter had led,
all that she desired w.ts tbats he shouli return
home with her. The daughter, to save her
mother greater pain than she had already
suffered, declared that she had done nothing
wrong, but that she had been working in a fac
tory in this city. The mother and daughter tlien
left Headquarters together, and returned home
by the liosion boat lost evening.
Mrs. Davis was then brought before Inspector
Dilks, who rated her soundly for harboring such
joung girls in her house, and expressed his
intention of breaking up her business. He th"n
required her to disporge sufficient of the money
she had earned by the girls living in her house
to defray their expenses back to Bjston, aud
also the expenses of the motuer's trip to this
city In search of her daughter. This she at first
utterly refused to do, insltting that the girls had
not made much money in the house and that
they were in debt to her; but flndina the In
spector inexorable, and that she would be com
pelled to undergo a night's Imprisonment In the
cells unless she would difgorge, she submitted
to the force of circumstances and handed over
the money. She was then allowed to depart,
and, accompanied by a female friend, got into a
carriage and was driven off. The girls expressed
great contriiion at their fall, and were fullv de
termined to lead adlflerent life in future. If. Y.

HAYTI.
Reported Succh or the Sitlnnvlsts at
JUIraK'oiuie.
A correspondent writing from St. Thomas
Aug. 2!t, reports the loltowing:
1 hear from Hayti that President Salnave his
lately been very successful in his manoeuvres,
having carried the town of Mlramon (Mira
goane, probablv), by storm. This caused great
rejoicing at Port-au Prince. Tne inhabitants of
that suffering city hopefully anticipate the
raising of the siege by the revolutionists as a
consequence of tho fait d'armes of his sable
Excellency.
The news from Cape Hajtlen is likewise
highly favorable to the Government. On the
9th a battle was fought near the place, in which
the insurgents were defeated by the Salnavists.
with a great loss in killed and wounded aud
that of a piece of artillery, lhe rebels were
commanded by Generals Baise and Minard, the
former a very influential personage among the
Caeop.
Tho last mall steamer from Jacmel to this
place brought a number of refugees from Hayti,
who agree in representing the country as being
in a complete state ot anarchy, with want and
misery staring the people in the face. Even the
wealthy have oftentimes great difficulties in
obtaining wherewith to subsist. The war now
being carried on is said by these lefugees to bo
one of extermination. Neither party cm
triumph except through the destruction of the
other and with an attendant impoverishment of
the country. The friends ot the black race have
truly to hope against hope lor the restoration ot
peace and order in Hayti.

The same correspondent says: Tho Danish
gunhoat Diana, three guns, has arrived lrom
Denmark and has relieved the corvette Dagniar
from Wet Indian station service. The steamers
and connecting vessels of the Koy il Mail Com
pany, with the exception of the Colon boat,
waited until the 23d for the Southampton
steamer, when, the latter not having arrived,
they severally proceeded on their destination
The adherents of Baez here were considerably
vesel by the non-arrival of the Atrato, since
they expected final reports by her as to the two
million dollar loan under negotiation for the Do
minican Government with certiiu bankers of
London. I am unable to say whether the ad
vices brought by the Tasmanian relieved their
impatience or not. In case they did they still
have another contretemps to endure in the want
of immediate communication with St. Domingo,
the mail steamer touching there having left at
her regular time of departure and there being
no ordinary packet for weeks to come. Presi
dent Baez and partisans depend greatly upon
this loan for the means of suppressing present
and future insurrections in St. Domingo aad for
firmly establishing the lease of power of those
now holding the reins of government in tho Do
minican republic.
St. Thomas is still curbed with a severe
drought, the worst effects of which are lelt in a
scarcity ot water. The district of Ponce, In the
neighboring island ot Porto Kico, is suffering;
even more than this place because of the need
of rain. Unless blessed with some ere long the
new crop of the district is likely to be lost.

In detail of our cable despatches from Vene

August 29, as follows:
The latest news from the Venezuelan republic
is to August 22. It foreshadows the completion
of Monagas' revolutionary movement, and the
near approach of its full triumph. On the 15th
Puerto Cabello came into Monagab' possession,
having been surrendered by such of the Fal
conists as remained Id the place. This was not
accomplished without bloodshed. For lour
days before the event the fighting around the
place was hot and severe. In one of the
engagements General Bruzual, the leader of
the Falcon party, was very badly wounded,
and was thereupon transferred to one of
the ships in the harbor that left for
Curacoa after the fail of thecliy. On her arrival
there General Bruzual was landed, but died a
few hours afterwards. His death is a stunning
blow to the Falcon party, as he was its most
aclive and determined part. fan. He is, indeed,
much regretted by his friends. 'He leaves a
young widow and two small children. The
steamer Pururuche also arrived at Curacoa from
Puerto Cabello, having left the latter port imme
diately afier its surrender. She Drought about
seventy officers and men of its lite garrison,
many of them wounded. The fall of his strong
hold at Puerto Cabello has greatly discouraged
President Falcon, and the reports from Curacoa
announce, that he has given up all hopes of
returning to the Presidential chair of Venezuela,
and that he is about leaving for St. Thomas,
here to take the next steamer for Europe, where
be contemplates passing his remaining days.
InCaraccas it was supposed by many that
Monaeas would not be a candidate lor the Presi
dency at the regular elections in October. Senor
Delia Costa, the present able Governor of the
State of Guyana, was thought certain in such
an event to become the next President of the
Republic. Having kept aloof from the revolu

will prove more highly satisfactory to all classes
of the people than that of any other prominent
