Tiie Iloase at llarrisbnrg has at last
consented that tlie session of next Tuesday
shall Im devoted to the consideration of the
Lcal Option bill. It will not be necessary
to waste much time In discussing thU
threadbare subject, and it is to be hoped
that it will be quickly and effectually clia-
posed of. Let there be no covaidice or
dodgiug, but a square vote either for or
against it.
Tac armistice between Kussia and Tur
key was signed at Adrianople on Friday
last and hosi ilities for the pit-sent have
been suspeuded. A conference of the

Tea State Executive Committee of the
Greenback-Labor party met in Philadel
phia last week and decided to hold their
onveutioo to nominate a candidate for
Ooveruor and other State officers in that j
ity on the 5th of next June. Fifty-four
delegates were alss appointed to represent
this State in the national convention of the
earn party, to be held at Toledo. Ohio, on
the 22nd of this month. Samuel Calvin,
af Ilollidaysburg, is the delegate from
tLit district, with Jacob Tieftn, of Johus
towu, as alternate.
Tiia silver bill coutinue to be the lead- j
leg subject of discussion in the U. S. Sen- j BUpienie importance to the Messis. Collins

they will be hailed by the people with loud
acclaim ; but if the result tbould turn cut
otheiwise, they will be politically damned
ow aud forever, and the possession of
superior wisdom and statetmanship will be
accorded to its enemies. The practical re

settle the future political fate of Senators
aud Representatives who, on the one hand,
Lave promised the people tbnt it will prove
to be a sure remedy for all their present
business ills, as well as of those on tbe oth

from its adoption the most disastrous con

Ax act of Assembly, passed in 1971, di
rected that one thounand copies of SmuH'e
Legislative Hand Book should be publit-h-ed
and distributed annually among tbe
members of the Senate, and ftr thoumnd
copies among the members of the House.
Not satisfied with this 1 iberal donation by
tbe State of Smull's legislative literature,
It has been the constant practice of the
Legislature to direct a large number of ad
ditional copies to be published for distri
bution among Ihe members. At the last
session the extravagant number of $ix
thoviand additional copies was ordered,
making in all nine thousand. Of course it
was nothing less than an act of larceny un
der the forms of legislation, for which no
shadow of excuse can bo offered. It hav
ing been decided that the present eisioii
is a new one, and not a continuation of the
last, doubtless the annual legal supply of
three thousand Copies of the Hand-Cook

TiiK news of the disastrous wreck of ihe
steamship Metropolis on tlie coaM of Noitb
Carolina on yesterday week, Iwodnya after
she had departed Horn Philadelphia, wai
received here, where the employer of the
men on board and the owners of the cargo,
Messrs. I. & T. Collins, had so long :esid-
j ed and are so well known, with feelings of
' sincere regret. Hatiug undertaken a very
extensive railroad contract around the
' ripids of the Madeira liver, iu Brazil, the
: Messis. Collins had commenced with their
j well known energy to ditpa ch men and
railroad rna'eriais to mat distant 1 eg ion
for the purpose of inaugurating the work
and pushing it rapidly to completion. The
Metropolis was the second vesiel chartered
and sent out by them, the first being the
Meicedita, which sailed on the 2d of Janu
ary. Although the wieck of the Metropo
lis must occasion considerable loss to the
contractors, they will regard it as of trif-
,., cmlled to the melan
was unseawoithy. If such was leally the
fact, do blame or ceusure can be imputed
to the Messrs. Collius, as the vessel had
been inspected iu New Yoik, where she
was owned, by the proper Uui.ed States
officers, and a regular ceititicaie filed pio-
"ouucmg uer in an respects iu coumtmuy
11 ,Ui
the Collinses cauuot be visited with ceu
suie, for they had a right to confide iu the
couectness oi the certificate made by the
ofiiceis of the government appointed speci
ally for that purpose. They did not lely
upou their owu judgment as to her beiug
eawoithy, but placed their faith iu the
writleu certificate of men who weie ex-
. j. 6UCU matters. It was a matter of
was insured iu two of ihe best known and
most reliable companies iu Philadelphia,
which is ample proof that they regarded
the vessel as stauuch aud in eveiy respect
fit (or the voynge. More thau this, she was
not loaded to her full registered capacity,
nor is it deuied that her captain was au
experienced seaman and did the only thing
that could be done to save the lives of his
passengers by running her on the beach.
We believe that the fate of the Metropolis
in the terrible storm of yesterday week
was beyond humau foresight to pievent,
and that if there is any special responsibil
ity for her loss and the loss of so many hu
mau lives, noue of it rests with Messis. P.
& T. Collius.
P. S. A Philadelphia dispatch says that
about one bundled aud thirty-five of the
survivors of the wreck of the Metropolis
arrived in that city ou Tuesday morning
lj6t, neatly !I of whom have expressed a
willingness and w 111 be permitted to sail in
the uext steamer for Brazil.

Metropolis sailed from Philadelphia on last ,
Tuesday week, and met with the tenible ;
was iu commaud of the ill-starred vessel,
gives a succinct account of the stormy voy
age and feaiTul wieck. lie says that the
Metroplis encountered her first bad weather
on the evening of Wednesday, the day
after sho sailed, the wiud increasing very
ispidly and the sea rising to a fearful exteut.
The vessel was very deeply laden, as in ad
dition to her cargo of iron and machinery
she of course had an extra quantity of coal
to supply her furnaces for so extended a
passage. The wind being from the east
ward, the sea was upon her beam aud
caused her to loll fearfully. It was soon
fouud that she had sprung aleak some
where in the regiouof the stern-post. For
a time the water was kept down by the
steam-pumps, but toward midnight of
Wednesday the engineer reported to mo
that the water was gaining in the hold, and
at once determined to bear up and run for
Hampton Roads. The weather, however,
grew thicker and worse, and the vest-tl
ran past Cape Henry light without seeing
it. The sea continued to increase, and at
times swept completely over the steamer,
which was now rapidly becoming water
logged. At 3 o'clock a tremendous sea
broke over her, making her a complete
wreck. The smoke-stack was carried away
and nearly every boat was washed from the
davits with the immense weight of the
water. All the side of the house was
crushed in aud tho engine-room was half
filled with water, which now pouied into
the hold in torrents. Theciiculating pump
had given out hours before, aud the other
pumps were well-nigh useless. Tho water
rose to the furnace fires and put them ou',
and all hope of saving the ship was at once

was kept off from the beach as the only
means loft of preventing ber from sinking
with all hands to the bottom. There was
rifck among the breakers, but there was also
some small chance of safety, while if she
sntik there was uo hope of preserving a
single life.
At 4 o'clock the word was passed for all
hands to provide themselves with life-pre-serveis.
At 6.45 A. M. the day just dawn
ing, the ship struck the beaeh. At 11a.
m. a man ou horseback made bis appear
ance on shore, waving his hat and promis
ing assistance. At 12 30 p. m. the Life
Saving Service men mule l!ieir appearance
from the station some miles away, hut came
poorly provided to tuve life. All the as
sistance they could render to the passen
gers was to get them out of the sui f as.they
came ashore. Had the Life Saving men
come to the scene of the wteck duting the
tote noon neatly every oue on boa id could
have been saved. At 5 o clock P. M. the
ship broke up completely, throwing iuto
the sea all who wei then left ou board.
It does not appear that any of lhoe on
boaid jumped oveibouid. They were
washed oil by the dozen at eveiy tea.
Some reached the shore and many wete
drowned. The only help fiom lbe on
shore was in puihiig the half-drowned men
from the uiT when near the buach. Some

wrecked the vevnl and many more before
daylight came. Ihe night was not very
cold, but the storm was pitiless, and those
on laid weieso exhausted before attempt
ing to make the shoie. that they were ill
prepared for the terrible fight with the sea.
Theie was no chance of saving the two i
women tui board, and both of tbeir hus
bands were among the lot.
Rich'd W. Brooks, of Germantown, Pa.,
one of 'he first survivors to reach the shore-,
makes the following statement tegaiding
the disaster :
We had only three w imen on board, ono of
whom whs tho wlieof the chief cnirlneer and
anutlier the wife of Mr. Harrison, the steward.
The name of the third one was not known. I
and a crew of twenty-seven men, nil told, left
Philadelphia about 4 p.m. on Monda y. Ja nuary
2. and lay In bt Delaware river until 9 a. ni.
Tuesday, J.inuury 29. At the Breakwater we
left the pilot and Mr. Con ley. clerk to Mr. Col
lins, who both wi'hcd ua bon voyage. We then
proceeded to cea. and all was joyful. When
about two hundred and fifty miles out f rom the
Breakwater, nt about 5 o'clock p. m., the first
mate found the thip had fp. ung a leak, and the
men were immediately put to work throwing
out coal to lititen the ship. After petting rid
of from fifty to seventy five tons, and then be
Inir unable to find the leak Captain Ankers or
dered all hands to put on life-pre-ervers, as

about 3 o'clock, all rand9 were called to raise
sail, and the ship was bended directly for the
lighthouse, which waa supposed to be St. Charles
light. At 7:30 p. m., about two hundred yards
from the shore, tho ship struck. The waves
Immediately com men red washing- tho de"k
from stem to stern, breaking; In the weather
side. We all stood this for about two hours,
when one man. a foreman, started to swim
nshoro- also t he first mate, alter whom I follow
ed. We managed to get ashore alt f n hard
swim, landing ubout half n mile above the place
where the ship struck. We found dii one on
shore lo afford us any assistance. After we
three men reached the shore all were so weak
as to be hardly able to move. A boat with six
men then put off from the ship and succeeded
in reaching the shore with all on board. Alt
drawers, we came to the Currituck Lighthouse I
club house, and Mr, William Jones, one of the
employees, received us, and told us to take off
our wet clo: hes, and ha would give us dry ones,
alter doing which he immediately started a boy
on horseback to the lighthouse to Inform the
keeper of the wreck, and to send the life saving ,
apparatus to the scone. After getting on dry ';
clot hes we all proceeded to the wreck, accom- '
pnnled by Mr. Jones and four mer. belonging;'
to tho life saving station, who carried ammun.
Ition and a mortar. We followed the beach,
and found It oovered with bodies and portions
oi the wreck. I'pongottlnir opposite the ship
the mortar was placed In position and a line
was thrown over the topsail of the vessel. T.ie
undercurrent was so strong, however, that It
snapped ihe lines. They atfain fired two more
lines towards the ship, but failed to hit It.
Theie three shots exhausted all the ammuni
tion, and tbe men on board, finding it useless
to einrut ftnv helo. nommem'od trt inur to nvim
toiana. v e tounecn nu-n on shore then form-
ed a chain, aud advanced in the water to aid
our unfortunate shipmates. Of the first five
who tried to swim ashore we saved four. The
men commenced leaving the ship one and two
nt a time until twt-nty-six men were saved by
us. About 12 o'clock Thursday tho ship com
menced breaking to pieces rapidly. At that
lime all that was left was the hurricane-deck
over the saloon, with, as nearas I could Jodg-e,
150 nieo holding on to the rigging. I thou left

Washington, Feb. 4. All tho bodies
recovered from the wreck of the Metropolis
I have been buried along the beach from the
scene of the wreck to a distance of several
miles north. The graves are simply mark
ed by two stakes, indicating the head and
foot of the grave. There are no rriarks
identifying the corpses within the graves.
Survivors having all left, there rroains no
oue that, can identify the dead.
WAS THE 8HIP SEAWORTHY?
On this subject a Philadelphia special to
the New York World, dated Feb. 2d, fur
nishes the following :
As to the seaworthiness of the Metropolis a
tuir-owner says that all you had to do to pull
her apart waa to hitch a tun at either end. Cap
tain fclils. who commanded heron the twenty
elsrht day' vnyatre from Bermuda to New York,
said that he had refused her captaincy to go lo
Brazil, hi lieving- her utterly uneea worthy. On
the other hand, there are the Inspectors' certi
ficates iriven In The Woiu.o of to-day (fundav).
Capt. H. 1.. Oreifg-, one of the best drown ship
pers in this city, was told to tret (rood steam
ships and talkarotit the price afterwards. Tho
Metropolis was I horouirhly examined hy first
c'ass ship carpenters and the Board of Under
writers and pronounced oy every one thor-
ouirhly seaworthy. Messrs. P. it T. Collins had
assured him that they must have such n vessel.
as thes- had rather ioe a steamship than a nan
in me expedition, inn insurance companies
personally inspected her and (rave her the low
est premium known in the trade 3 per cent.
The wreck has broutrht out a sailor's super
stition that every vessel that has Suited direct
from Willow street wharf that Is, without
touching Jown the river has been los. a3 fol
lows: Thel'ijited State? steamer Miami, which
sailed for New Orleans in lr5, was wrecked in
one of the Passes of the Mississippi, ond all
hands lost; the bark Albntro. which sailed
for Pernamhuoo In 1871 or 1872. was never
beard of afterwards. Tho brlK Edina, was
wrecked on the Bahamas and moat of the crew

Another Philadelphia special published

Tbe loss of the Metropolis will by no means

abundant for any emergency. Everything is

A WATERT RATB.
Norfolk, Va., February 4. Survivors
f the Metropolis wreck spent yesterday
very comfortably iu quarters provided for
them by citizens of .Norfolk. They were
made recipients of every attention, aud
boots, shoes, bate, shirts and almost every
article of clo-hiug were literally donated
ta them by sympathizing merchants and
citizens. Thos. Collins, of Philadelphia,
one of the conti actors who engaged the
men to go to Brazil, arrived this morning to
make necessary arrangements to take the
survivors back to Philadelphia, but it is
not decided whether they would embark
by a Philadelphia steamer or one of the
Old Dominion line to Tsew Yoik. Capt.
Ankers arrived here last evening. He in
sists that the vessel was seaworthy. One
of the chief instances ot heroism was that
manifested by Mrs. Anne Huet, who, be
ing assisted from a dangerous positiou on
the main deck to oue comparatively secure
in the starboard fore-rigging, remained
there until the closing scene, a spectator of
the principal horrors, yet calmly awaitiug
whatever fate heaven might bave for her.
Her experience was of a kind seldom en
countered by her sex. Prominent amoug
tbe heioes of the Metropolis stands the
bumble aad unpretetidiug looking Irish
man, Timothy 0'3rien. Jiy his own exer
tions be rescued from the breakers nearly
fifty persons. This is the second wreck
from which he has escaped with bis life,
the first being that of tbe steamer Uoldeu
Gate, which was lost off Acapuico, on the
Pacific coast, in 1363. 8oou after tho Me
troplis struck on Thursday morning and
began to break up there was a general
rush for the rigging. O'Brien secured a
position high on the mainmast, but when it
became apparent that tbe only chance for
life was to swim ashore, he boldly jumped
from the rigging over the heads of the
others, and struck out for tho beacb, which
be reached safely. Realizing the peril of
bis fellow passengers, O'Brien hastened over
to the Currituck club bouse, tin ee-quarters
of a mile distant, procured a pair of
overalls and some dry matches, returned,
and built several fires. The sea was full
of struggling victims, who one by one were
sinking when O'Brien at ten o'clock plung
ed boldly out to the rescue. One by one he
brought the nearly exhausted and half
dead victims ashore, and placed them in
the bands of others at the fires. He never
halted until five o'clock in the evening,
wheu the last survivor bad reached shore.
Iu seven hours O'Brien saved nearly fifty
people, many of whom would have per
ished but for his great coolness and manly
aid. The last and crowning act of this
great feature of humanity was the rescue
of Mrs. Anno Huet, the only surviving fe
male of tho wreck. She was struggling
feebly with the breakers, supported by a
life preserver, but evidently exhausted and
about to sink. O'Biien saw the awful po
sition, and calling to a young man named
John Doherty to help him, started for
the dying woman. Twice the treacherous
waves snatched her from his grasp. At
last be oaught ber and with Doberty's as
sistance brought her ashore unconscious.
She was alive and was at once subjected
to the remedy of being rolled upon a barrel
to get the salt water out of her and the.u
placed upon a bed tick beside oue of
O'Brien's fires. In about thirty minutes
she revived to ilud her husband beside ber.
He had been washed ashore about 40 yards
below on the beach, and when dragged out
his first exclamation was, "Is my wife
drowned?" He was told that she waa
saved, and overjoyed was carried to her
side, where be lemained until she opened
her eyes to realize that both had escaped a
watery grave.

TIIE LONQ-I.O.ST BOY THOCflHT TO T.E SURE
LY FOOD AT i-AST.
Philadelhia, February 2. It is not at
all unlikely that Cherley Boss has at last
been found. By far the most promising
clew that has yet been obtained in the
long and tedious search for the kidnapped
child has grown out of the discovery of a
lad who arrived at Baltimore about the
middle of January on a ship fiom Dem
erara. As recited at the time the child
was a waif who had been abused aud ueg
lected by a mulatto woman claiming to
be his mother. The boy had been sent to
this country to be placed in a home, by a
benevoleni American gentleman residing
in Georgetown, Demerara. There was a
slight resemblance to Charley Boss in the
little wanderer, and this was one reason
why bis piotector, Mr. A. V. Perot, sent
the child to the care of his brother,, who is
a merchant in Baltimore.
AY ben the boy arrived in Baltimore ho
gave tho name of George Sylvano Signio
Bio, but he thought he had been called
Charley Boss. Captain Wilson stated that
the boy had been living in Georgetown,
Demerara, for tho past four years, with a
mulatto woman claiming to be his mother.
This woman represented that sho was born
in Demei ara, but when a girl went to Phil
adelphia with her patents aud married a
white man, a painter. Shortly after tho
birth of tbeir sou ber husband disappeared,
and tbe wife went to BoRton to seek em
ployment. Those who knew her says she
ill-treated the boy, and it was suspected
lhat she was not fci? mother. When the
boy first arrived ia Demerara be spoke of
coming from Boston, and said the woman
had stolen him from his home. Several
months since be was deserted by his pre
tended mother, and he became a street
gamin. Finally Mr. A. W. Perot took him
out of tho street, and forwarded him on the
Potomac to his brother iu Baltimore.
After Mr. Boss' failure to identify tbe
boy from the descriptions which seemed
so widely at variance with that of bis lost
oue, tbe little stranger was placed in a
charitable institution to be educated. Tbe
institution bapieus to bo presided over by
a sister of Mr. F. K. Womrath, a member
of Councils in this city. !Not long since
this lady wrote to her brother a remark
able change was coming over tbe boy. The
swarthiness of his complexion was wearing
off. He was growing to look more and
more like Charley Boss.
Tho boy said be once lived in a big
house on a high hill, where his mother
taught him a little song, and which is tho
same one that Mrs. Ross taught ber chil
dren. Ho also says ihat he remembers
leaving Boston, and while in Demerara
was obliged to wash in a tank containing
a kind of dirty water. He remembers be
ing taken away from tbe bouse on the hill
by a man in a wagon.
A picture was taken of the boy and
shown to Mr. Boss, who says it is the best
picture of his son he has yet seen, while
Mrs. Rosb can easily trace a resemblance
to the features of the lost boy.
Mr. Boss, who is never overhopeful,
strongly inclines to the belief that tho boy
is his missing son. He has uot yet seen
tho boy, but will go to Baltimore for that
purpose next week.
P. S. The rather of Charley Robs arrived
in Baltimore on Tuesday last, and met the
Denial ai a boy, who, he declares, is nothU
son.
