Statement cf Surgeon Jamet Sud.
dard, of this City A Thrill
ing Narrative.
Tae Peeling Againit the Captain of
the BombayKindness of the
People of Yokohama to
the Shipwrecked
Ballon.
The following are extracts Irom, a letter of
Jrurgeon James Buduards of tho Oneida to his
father, the Kcv. "William Buddards, D. D., of
this city, who has kindly furnished It to tho New
York Associated Tress for publication. The
letter Is dated at Yokohama, Jan. 81: j
We left Yokohama at 5 P. M. on 21th, and
t 6-45 were run Into by the Bombay on the
starboard quarter, the whole of which was car
ried away. She struck us full with her sharp
Iron stern and cut everything off as with a
chisel. . The wheel, steering gear, spanker
boom and gaff, and poop cabin were all carried
away, and in fifteen minutes the Oneida sank In
fourteen fathoms water, and out of a personnel
of 25 biHccrs and 150 men, 4 officers and 64 men
are left to tell the tale.
The ward-room dinner was just finishing at
the moment of collision. It seemed to me as if
the whole side of .the ship was coining bodily in
on the dinner table. Wo all rushed on deck Im
mediately. Everything, of course, was In tho
greatest confusion. As I stepped over the hatch
combing I saw a large steamer just clearing us.
She was hailed by our executive officer and re
quested to lay by us, but as far as I could judge
she steamed away as fast as she could go.
I walked aft on the quarter-deck and saw that
everything was smashed to pieces. I then
looked over the quarter and saw the extent of
the damage. I believed then that the ship
would go down in two minutes, and rapidly con
cluded that every oue must look out for himself.
As I realized the position I noticed that the
ward-room boat, which hung at the port quarter,
was manned by twelve or fourteen men.
I jumped on the rail and asked If an officer
was in the boat. The men said no, and seeing
who I was they said, "Jump in, Doctor;" and
(seizing hold of mo two or three of them dragged
me into the boat. I at once took charge, order
ing a man at each fall to lower when ordered,
having first cut all the fastenings with knives.
We staid there until within three or four min
utes of the ship going down. During this time
the boatswain and two or three men got into the
boat, making the wholo number sevonteen.
We were still hanging at the davits when the
ship began to roll In that peculiar way which
precedes foundering, and the boat was dashed
against the side of the ship, threatening to dash
her In pieces. I looked on deck, saw, no one
abaft the mainmast, and gave orders to lower
away and hang by the falls.
The after fall got jammed, and had to be cut
with a knife. Had we been three minutes longer
at the davits It would have been too late, as she
went down like a shot after darting, and the
suction would have carried our boat down with
the wreck. I may mention hero that when the
boat was brought up to the Idaho, she nearly
sank alongside, and on examination it was found
that seven knees were broken on the star
board side, and one of the planks knocked
an inch out of placo. This must have beon done
by striking the side of the ship, and couvinces
me that we could not have saved any more in
our boat, as she would have filled and gone
down with a heavier load. As tho coxswain
cut the fall a junk was seen close by under sail.
We started for her, intending to bring her
alongside If possible and save life. Being under
sail, however, and going froe, she rapidly
left ns, and in about two or three minutes
we gave It up, and, turning to go back to the
ship, found that she had disappeared. We
pulled to whero we thought sho had been, but
seeing and hearing nothing finally hoaded for
shore, and landed about 8 30. I at once went
op to a Japanese houso, engaged three guides,
and started off for Yokohama, twenty-five to
thirty miles distant. We crossed five mountains
on our way, and had tho most fatiguing tramp
you can imagine.
We arrived, however, all safe at 4 o'clock, on
the morning of the 25th, when I spread the
news and sent down assistance to the wreck.
The vessel was found yesterday, but no bodies
as yet. Tho English Consular Court is Investi
gating the matter. All the ofQcors of the Bom
bay have been examined our turn will come to
morrow. Mr. DcLong, tho American Minister,
is conducting the proceediuf on our behalf.
You will know the result by tho next Pacific
mall, due in Ban Francisco March 17. I landed
on shore in an undress uuiform, without a cap,
and only saved my watch by having it on.
I have been very much shattered by the oc
currence and subsequent fatiguo, but am now
much better and begin to feel like myself. All
Yokohama has been extremely kind, invitations
to stay at private housos pouring in from all
quarters. The feeling against the captain ot the
Bombay for not stopping Is intense, and if the
court attempt to whitewash him violence may
be attempted.
No vessel that has ever beon In the eastern
waters was so popular as the Oneida. Even tho
English officers say they would much rather the
misfortune had happened to oue of their own
vessels. Of the twelve officers eating dinner at
the time of the collision, I am tho only one left.

Trenton, March 0 The bill of the Camdon
and Amboy Railroad empowering that company
to lay a track over the identical ground granted
by charter two years ago to the Millstone and
Trenton Kail road, a portion of the proposed air
line from Philadelphia to New York, was passod
on Monday evening last to a third reading iu the
llouec, after great opposition and excitement.
Resolutions have been sent into the Douse from
meetings held by citizens living along tho pro
posed rout, denouncing tho bill In the strongest
terms as in bad faith to the Mrgtooe ana Tren
ton Company. Numbers ol t)lcM clUzons,
whose names have foinerly been Interwoven
with those of the lepiuggpirits of the Camden
and Amboy, hav directed their representatives
for them to pntllcly renounce all connection
with the cpy. This was done In the ITouse,
notwithstanding which the members nnblush
lng), and agalust the plain expression ef the
fntlmenU of the people, passed the bill to a
third reading.
In the Senate the supplement of the Millstone
Railroad Company was reconsidered.
The following memorial, signed by the direc
tors of the new road, was read, and received the
greatest attention:
To the Honorable the Senate and General Assembly if
the Stat tkf Aew Jersey:
Tbe memorial of the undersigned respectfully
represents that they are directors of the National
Hallway Company, a corporation created by the
State of Pennsylvania, with authority to construct a
railroad from the city of PhUadelphla, by way of
Attleborough, to any point on the river Delaware.
That the said company Is desirous of entering Into
a contract with the Millstone and Trenton Railroad
Company and other corporations created by the
Stale of New Jersey, for the purpose of contracting
and operating a continuous line of railroad by a
convenient route, to be under one management,
from Philadelphia to New York.
The contemplated line will pass through tbe most
fertile country between these two great cittos, whose
citizens have never enjoyed a direct railway com
munication with either of them. It Is an Improve
ment which cannot In any respect be prejudicial to
the Interests of any part of the Siate of New Jersey,
and one which will greatly promote the public con
venience. It Is all the more important when considered In
connection with the lact that the wooden bridge
across the Delaware at Trenton forms part of me
only direct, continuous line of railroad between the
cities of New York and Washington, and that, the
destruction of the said bridge would lead to the most
serious public luconvenlence.
Your memorialists are thus Interested in the pas
sage of a bill recently reported to the Senate of New
Jersey authorising the Millstone and Treuton 1UI1
road Company to enter into such a contract. The
proposal to pay to the State or New Jersey tho
sum of IfiOO.OuO for the grant of this privilege has
been made in good faith, after consultation wlt-h the
coinpaules which desire to unite in this enterprise,
aiiil la founded on the fact that the state of New
Jersey is a stockho'der to that amount in existing
lines of communication between said cities.
Your memorialists beg leave to stato that they
have not engaged iu this undertaking by reason of
any hostility to the Camden and Amboy ltallroad
Company. It is true that that company will not be
able to influence or control tho construction or man
agement of the contemplate)! improvement; but the
object of this is Intended only to assure the public
that the two lines of communication will be indepen
dent of each other, and that the new line will not be
constructed on speculation in the interest of the
other.
The Importance of placing tho entire line of rail
road under oue management, as contemplated, will
be appreciated by all who are familiar with the ope
ration or railroads, and has justlUed, in the opinion
of the parties concerned, the suspension or tho con
templated contracts until the ilual action or your
honorable body in the premises.
Your memorialists thereforo pray that your hon
orable bodies will grant tho privileges asked for by
the passage of the bin above memioneu.

After amending the bill by striking out the
$500,000 which the company offered to glvo to
the State, which it was argued was discredita
ble, it was passed to a third reading. As It
stands, the Camden and Amboy's bill is favora
bly received in the House, while that of the air
line is in a similar condition in the Senate. Both
have been passed to a third reading, tho ono in
the House and the other in the Senate, and both
will probably come up again to-day. Each will
probably fail in the house where it originated.
OBITUARY.
Krnor J. J. Paul, Minister from Venezuela.
Scnor Jose Jesus Paul, late Minister to the
United States from Venezuela, who died sud
denly in Washington on Monday last, the day
of his arrival at his post, was born at Caraccas,
Venezuela, in 1825. Ills father was a very emi
nent lawyer, and for many years was Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court. Benor Paul was
also a lawyer, and held the position of judge
when he was made Secretary of the House of
Representatives. He was soon after elected to
a seat in the House, which he, however, did not
take, as he was appointed Minister of the In
terior in President Tovar's Cabinet.
Those who dissented he sueceeded in winning
to his views, and the seed thus sown by him
soon reached fruition in tbe revolution which
resulted in tho downfall of Falcon. Monagas,
the present President, then came into powor,
and Benor Paul was appointed to a Judgeship,
in which position he acquitted himself ably,
until his appointment as Minister to the United
States. He was a very active and industrious
man, of great firmness and extraordinary
ability, and was highly esteemed by his friends.
Notwithstanding his long political life, he dlod
in ordiuary pecuniary circumstances, and leaves
a wife atd eight children. Ho had boen very
hard at work in New York during the List
month, which no doubt hastened his death.

jority in the House. Several towns have failed
to elect Representatives to-day, and will make
another trial to-morrow. The streets were tilled
at an early hour with people eager to learn the
result, which satisfied them, and the streets are
now quiet. . Tho Republicans arc satisfied with

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph,
IIuntingdos, March 9. At an carb hour
this morning the streets of this usually quiet
town were thronged with citizens and strangers
from a distance, wending their way to the pre
cincts of the prison to witness the execution.
Over two hundred cards had been issued by
Sheriff Neeley, and the limited space occnpled
by tho jail and yard was soon crowded to excess.
The Prisoner I.nat Night.
During yesterday and the greater part of last
night some one of the ministers of the different
chnrches of the town conversed and prayed
with the condemned men, and endeavored to
bring them to a more perfect knowledge of their
situation. Bodcnberg slept but little, and at
different times during the night was heard to
groan, and pray in German. Bohaer observed
his usual stoical demeanor to all who came near
him, but ho, too, frequently gave evidence of
tho unsettled condition of his mind. It was re
ported that he had expressed a desire to be exe
cuted before 12 o'clock, bo that he might have
his dinner In h . . .
The prisoners were vigilantly guarded during
the night, and Bohner frequently inquired for a
pen that he might write something. As no quills
were at hand, and it was feared that he might
commit suicide, he was provided with lead pen
cils only.
Sheriff Neeley and his deputy, Mr. Fouse.wero
astir early this morning perfecting the final ar
rangements, and they did their whole duty to
all concerned. The different prisoners, par
ticularly Butler, made themselves very useful
about tho prison.
This Morning,
as early as 10 o'clock, the different platforms,
houses, trees, and hills, from which a view of
the execution could be had, were crowded with
people of both sexes, all anxious for the revolt
ing spectacle to take place. The venders of
cigars, cakes, etc., were out In full force, and
the day appears to be a general holiday. There
was considerable noise and bustle among the
crowd of sight-seers, some of whom have come
a distance of twenty miles.
The Rev. Mr. Stoeckel, who has been the
spiritual adviser of the prisoners during their
confinement, was on hand at an early moment,
and exorted the men to be firm, and to place
reliance in the Lord. Bodenberg appeared
deeply distressed at times, and inquired several
times for tbe lady at Altoona to whom he was
engaged to be married, but up to this moment
she has not put in an appearance.
A Disorderly Alob.
About 11 o'clock the crowd became immense,
and climbed upon the prison walls. The Sheriff
ordered them down frequently, but they not
obeying, he at length put a pistol in his pocket,
and ascending the scaffold steps, addressed
them again, telling thorn thoy must got down; if
they did not ho would shoot. About this time a
number of womon wero admitted to the prison,
and examined the gallows. None except the
ministers, Rev. James C. Clark, of Methodist
Church, Rev. R. E. Wilson, same denomination,
Rev. 8. D. Stoeckel, German Reformed, and Rev.
M. E. Earbart, Lutheran, were admitted.
Open ud SLut.
' The Bherlff went around town late last night
and notified the taverns that they must shut up
and not sell any liquor. Tho tavern doors are
closed this morning, but liquor can be had any
where. The following strangb rigmarole from ono of
the prisoners has been prepared forjthe public:
last Statement of Bohner.
' Beloved in tbe Lord It Is a matter of labor to col
lect my thoughts aud say unto you farewell. I
pray all whom I have offended not t) treasure any
anger agalust me, but to pardon me, sluoe I aiu
about to recall aud do recall all before I depurt from
this life, wltb tbe oonsolousneHS that I am at peace

the Judgment-seat of God, as I approach the shores
of eternity, since I eonstautly pray and commune

happiness here and hereafter. I speak In this
manner to uoa ana nut to man. l feel

self to his righteous punishment. Beloved f rleuls,
that I may so call you causes me a peculiar plea,

After the murder 1 desired to go away. Bodenberff
Insisted we should sUy and lire the house. We did
so, snd then we quarrelled and were going to shoot
each other, but after a time put away our pistols and
started away. 1 hope iod will have mercy on my
soul.
The Prlsoaere Tahea From Their Cells.
At 12 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Force and his
assistants proceeded to tho cell of the prisoners
and bound them. In the meantime Sheriff
Kecly ascended the scaffold and akod that order
be maintained by the assembled throng.
: The prisoners made no resistance, but sub
mitted quietly, and were marched dowu from
their cells at 12J o'clock. First camo Bohnor
with Sheriff Neely, followed by ministers; next
came Bodenberg with the other ministers.
The prisoners walked out boldly. They wero
dressed in common citizen's dress. Following
were the members of tho press and tho doctors.
They Ascend tbe Scaffold.
The prisoners ascended the scaffold with firm
tread. After taking position beneath the halters
prayer was offered by tho Rev. Mr. Sykos.
Accident Anion the Ilesnrved Hents.
During this prayer one of the platforms filled
with people went down with a crash and created
much confusion, but the prisoners were un
moved. Altercation Between the Prisoners.
After the pravcr, Bodenberg read tho state
ment published in The Telegraph yesterday.
Bohner turned to him when it was finished and
denied its truth.
: After a few exchanges of words between the
men, Rev. James C. Clarke delivered a most
eloquent prayer in English, to which the pri
soners listened attentively.
The ltope.
At the conclusion of the prayer, ropes were
put around tho men's necks, and tho ministers
and officers bid them good-by.
Bodenberg, in a clear, loud voice, then com
mitted his soul to God, and tho black caps were
drawn over their beads. There was a sensation
in the crowd, and many of tho spectators turned
away.
The JHen Hans While One of 1 hem Is Speaking;
Bohner then commenced to say something in
German, durimr which tho Sheriff gave tho sig
nal, the prop was pulled down, and the men
hong at exactly twenty minutes of one.
They were so socured and tied, hand and
foot, that no motion was perceptiblo in either.
It is supposed their necks were broken in
stantly. It is not yet known whether any persons wero
Injured by the falling of tho platform surround
ing the prison walls.
Disposition of the Bodies.
. Both of the men were almost friendless, and
for a time it was unsettled what disposition
should be made ot their remains. Bodenberg,
it is understood, had requested of his sweet
heart that she should tako possession of his re
mains. They will be handed over to her, should
she present herself. Bohner's remains will be
given to the physicians, and devoted to the
development of medical science.
Thet'rowd.
It maybe safely estimated that nearly ten
thousand people were in town to-day. The
hotels and restaurants reaped a rich harvest. It
was not until after the bodies had been taken
down that all tho great concourse of people left
the neighborhood of the prison.
the Execution a Common Show.
This execution was perhaps the most public
exhibition that has boen made In this State for
many years. It may be necessary to hang peo
ple for committing the crime of murdering a
fellow being, bat it certainly does
not follow that the execution 6hould
be made a common "show" whereat
greedy speculators make the misfortunes
of their fellow-men a source of profit. To have
some idea of this execution, imagine a half acre
of ground, surrounded with a high wall, with
hastily constructed scaffolding extending along
each side, at a height sufficient to give a view
of all that goes on within, and you will have the
scene at Huntingdon to-day.
The law directs that only a certain number of
people shall be admitted, but what does such a
law amount to if thoso who desire to are per
mitted to erect platforms about the prison from
which they can see all that is going on Inside?
It is revolting, It Is shameful, and yet in a town
like this who can you blame?

111 financial circles the downward tendency iu
gold is the all-absorbing topic. Tho decline has
been a steady ono for several weeks past, and
though every effort has been made by ''bulls" to
keep up tho premium, it has utterly failed, and
every day witnesses another step towards speeio
payments. Let it come, say we, at the earliest
practicable moment, but let tho movoment be
free from all artiflcol stimulus either In Con
gress or out of it.
It is suggested by some lmprudont men that
the Secretary of tho Treasury should throw
upon tho market at least half the gold now Idle
in his bands, and thus precipitate resumption.
There can bo no doubt that tho scheme would
be successful in closing up the gap botwecn
paper money and specie, but we believe that the
effect will follow of itself, without any such
violent application, ana, such a move would
undoubtedly do more harm than good.
The market opened this morning with sales at
llOJ j, declining to 110, and closed about noou
at 110. Tho tendency to-day is upward.
The Government bond market Is rather un
settled, but a portion of the list shows a slight
advanco on yesterday's closing sales.
There was not much doing at tho Stock Board
to-day, but prices wero quite steady. C'ltyslxos
wero stronger, and sola at 101 for tho now

THK NKW YUttK MONEY MA11KKT.
From th y. T. tterald.
"If we may base an opinion upon the course of the
gold market during the past few weeks, It la evident
that artificial Influences only can Interrupt a steady
decline to par. . To-day gold .declined to ll7,
therein keeping up about the average rate of decline
Which has for several days marked the downward
course of the premium. To day was about the first
time any ono was found who did not believe gold
was cheap. It was this feeling, that gold below
170 was a cheap Investment, that - brought
thousands of speculators luto tue market, all of
whom hoarded up In expectation of a rise. lint the
rise did not coma The market had n elasticity. It
went down, but would not go np again. Hence those
who bought have steadily sold out at a loss of two
or three per cent, and the mass of gold, genuine
and actrtlons, represented in tho daily cluarauoee at,
the Gold Bank has settled down through the bands
of snoeessive purchasers. But now gold Is no -longer
cheap. Every argument ou the 'bull' side
has proved a delusion. Tho public are all 'bears.'
When gold 'broke' 112 to-day the crowd In the gal.
lery of the Gold Hoom cheered. They cheered more
lustily when the dial Indicated 110', The market i
was feverish and excited throughout. The opening
price, 112)tf, was barely a quotation. With the dull
ness and heaviness In tho exchange market the
'bulls' lost all heart and sold out. As the day wore
on word came from Washington that Senator Wll- ;
Hams had Introduced a Joiut resolution authorizing
tho receipt of greenbacks to the extent of tlfty per
cent. In future payments or customs duties, while
another 'red hot' Henator wanted to unload all the
surplus Government treasure on the market without
delay. The resolution to recsive one-half green
backs for customs was tho more Important iu its
luiiuence on tho market, as ltx adoption would
remove one great cause for the prer. lum on
gold. The emptying of the Treasury would
produce ouly a temporary depretwion. Under
these circumstances, and with the liupeuding
gold sale to-morrow whereat the bidders
may be 'pltmpcd' with all the gold they bid for, or
may get none at all the market broke to 1107.
Here, however, the inevitable inflation Influence
came in, the Bttuktug Committee having introduced,
or having given notice ol their intention to Intro
duce, a bill to Increase the eurreucy $50,000, ooo.
Gold reacted to luju. But as It became evident
from the character of the action of the Senate that
no such bill would receive enactment in tho upper
house, tho price again yielded to 111, especially as
it began to steal through some minds at this June
turo that the HcpubUcau Senate, on the eve of the
New Hampshire election, was fostering the advance
to specie payments, while tho Republican House
was taking care of the Western grumblers by pro
posing an inflation or firty millions.
"The Government market won excitod and de
clined In sympathy with gold, and showed more
weakness than was expected in the approach of gold
to par. The 6s of 1881 held their own at prices alwnt
one and a half per cent, above that of gold, but the
newer issues were feverish despite the Improved
quotations at London."
