Bite's History
Hie senate resumed consideration
of the bill to nay Samuel P. Bates the
■cm of ten thousand dollars, for ser
vices as state historian, being alladged
deficiences in the appropriation of
1867 and 1868. After considerble
discussion, the bill was defeated —yeas
11, nays 18.
The aboTe we extract from the Ben*
ate proceedings of 14th, Every tax
payer will thank the Senate for its
action ; this Bates' history matter ha*
been a huge swindle all through* and
a humbug to boot. It should have
been booted out of the at
its inception, and thutjsaved the State
several hundred thousand dollars.
The Harrisburg Patriot says, be
tween 5,000 and 6,000 small Califor
nia salmon were pot in ths Susque
hanna at that point several weeks ago,
bat this initiatory movement to stock
the river with the delicious food fish
should be rapidly followed by other
efforts of a similar character. Spawn
can be collected by millions in that
state at a trifling cost, and as the egge
bear transportation thousands of miles
without injury nothing but patient in
dustry on the part of fisheries commis
sioners is needed to supply all our
western streams with salmon.
Veto bj Wholesale.
Gov. HartmnA sent in a veto the
other day, which kills off a great many
acts —several hundred, we believe, of
the character as spoken ef in the fol
lowing by Patriot, of the 2nd insl:
Yesterday morning Governor flart
ranft sent to the house a message ve
toing a bill to extend the time for the
"payment of the enrollment tax on
"certain acts heretofore passed." Un
der existing law all private acts are
subject to an enrollment tax, which
must be paid within one year from
the date of their approval. Had
Governor Hart ran ft signed this bill
not lees than sixteen hundred and
twenty-two defunct private acts of as
sembly would have been brought to
life by a stroke of his pen. Those
acts relate to almost every conceiv
able subject within the range of legis
lation, from railroad and bank char
ters to divorcee. The greater portion
consfcu of acts of incorporation lying
in the office of the secretary of the
commonwealth ready for use at any
time where they would be likely "to
do the meet good."
On Ist insL, a bill annulling a mar
riage contract waa passed in ibe
House, at |Harrisbarg. The reasons
were based upon disagreement on re
ligious views, as we find by the follow
ing extract: The bill annulling the
marriage contract between Joseph F.
Kir by and Mary, his wife, was read.
Also, an affidavit setting forth that
the parties were married on the condi
tion that the latter should renounce
her reiigious faith, she being a Roman
Catholic and Kirby a Protestant;
that she adhered to her church, went
to confeerion, had her baby christened
by a Catholic priest, against bis will;
that in consequence of disagreements
the parties separated several times
and attempted again to live together,
but finally Mary left taking with her
a child, and refused to return. The
bill pasted—yeas 38, nays 28.
We tee that the gamblers and pros
titutes in Denver had a revival recent
ly. Now let the political prostitutes
at Washington follow suit, its about
time they change for the better, else our
country will soon be on a level with
Sodom in iniquity.
Objection is made to the promotion
of Frederick Grant, the President's
son, to the position of Lieutenant Col
onel, over the heads of several hun
dred older officers. As no reason has
yet been assigned for the elevation of
the gentleman, and as it is claimed to
be in direct contravention of tbe rules
governing the military service, the
point of order (seems well taken.
While the meannen and bitternees of
tbe Democratic press in following the
Presidents children through their
European tour and intruding on pri
vacy which aught to have been sacred
deserved to be reprobated, it does seem
that the anti-administration sharp
shooters have now a fair and legiti
mate target. Tbe reasons for the
favor conferred upon Mr. Grant, jr.,
should be specified ; if none be forth
coming, then it b permissible to pre
sume that his father's position ana in
fluence were unduly considered; and
for this there can be no excuse.
The Senate and House, at Harris
burg, cannot agree npon an appor
tionment bill. The House bill wai
an infamous, but not unlooked for,
gerrymander, giving the democrats
only 7 out of the 27 districts; the sen
ate made some changes in the bill
but not of a nature to do more justice
to the democracy, but the House
would not agree to the amendments
hence a conference was the result
The conference agreed upon a report,
but the report was not satisfactory,
and the House refused to accept it.
Both the bills place Centre in a demo
cratic distirct, but one of them tacks
us to (the counties along the Ju
niata, just where we folks do not
wish to be. We have no inter
ests nor associations with them, and do
not belong to their school of politi
cal morals exactly. Those folks
along the Juniata river are profession
al politicians, wire-pullers and
schemers, and their company is not at
*ll acceptable to us.
The result of this disagreement will
be that no apportionment bi\l will be
passed this session. Thin in juM as
well, anil better, an there will U> no
congressional election fur two yearn,
we can afford to t wnit, and hope tor a
better legislature next winter and a
fairer bill.
The centennial appropriation bill, I
which passed as amended in the sen- j
ate, differs very materially from the
House bill. The act now apptopriate*
one million, of which $250,000 are
taken from the stale treasury, the bal
ance to come a tax upon the
gross receipts of the Philadelphia pas
■anger railways. The bill as pns< d
by the House, with the amendments
of Mr. Orvia, took nothing from the
•tate treasury, but made the eulire ap*
porprialion dependeut upon the tax
upon the groaa receipt* of the jiassen
ger railways, and aocording to Mr.
Orvia' calculations this source would
have realixed a quarter million above
what was granted in the House bill,
which surplus would have fallen to the
common wealth, and the slate would
have gained half a million had the or
iginal bouaebill been adhered to, in.
stead of being minus $250,000.
The Church and (he Constitution
Our Presbyterian friends, in a Miu
uteris! Association held in Philadel
phis last Saturday, brought a solid
weight of common sense to bear on the
question of the proposed Religious
Amendment to both the National and
Pennsylvania Constitutions. Their
opposition was based, among other
reasons, upon the fact that it was cer
tain to create a Christian and Anti-
Christian party In polities, # which
they held to be "one of the greatest
calamities which could befall the
Church," iu which opinion we hearti
ly concur. We cannot have too much
Christian spirit in politics, atul the
sooner our Presbyterian or aud other
brelhern infuse that very lacking
leaven into the lump, the better. But
as for a formal acknowledgment of
Christ, it would be about as beueti
cial to the Shin of State in its present
condition as the prayer scribbled at
the epds of old bills of lading. ''God
bless the good bark and send her safe
deliverance." These ministers T * r y
reasonably hint that a religious spirit
would be more appropriately exercis
ed just uow in clearing this atorsaid
ship from "the torrent of corruption
now sweeping through it" than in
nailing a banner of the Cross to the
masthead.
Another reason which they give for
opposition to the so called reform is
that which suggests itself to any hon
orable man —that it violates the sol
lemn compact of religious freedom
which this country offers to people tf
every creed, and completely "disfran
chises our excellent Hebrew popula
tiou and many other good citizens.'
There is nothing new nor even note
worthy in this simple declaration of
human rights. Yet we arc glad that
it has been made and made so strong
ly by men leading one of the roost in
fluential religious sects iu Christen
dom. The maxim of Aaron Burr
that "a man might have a fortune, or
he might not. but he always had an
opinion and the right to have it," is
one which few sects, when they held
political power, have had sufficiently
broad vision to preceive and acknowl
edge. Even our presbyterian friends
have know such days of blindness.
John Knox would hardly have recog
nized an English Jew as among the
"excellent of our population." That
his disciples have enlarged their creed
and grown more liberal in practice is
due, not to any change in the spirit of
Christianity, but that they perceive
more clearly that "Where the spirit
of God is there is liberty."
There has been but little prospect
of success at any time for this proposed
change in the Constitution. The com
mon sense of the people has always
been strongly against it. But it is
more fitting that opposition should
come from Christian teachers —and
we are glad that one sect has taken the
initiative in uakiog it.—N. Y. Obs.
;• Spiritualism.
' Annivrrtary Celebration in Botion.
Boston, April 2.—The twenty-fifth
' anniversary celebration of modern
spiritualism drew a full audience in
> the ifusic Hall last evening. Alex
ander Putnam presided,'and addresses
were made by Robert Dale Owen,
Emma Hutchings, Jenny Levs, Jfrs.
N. M. L. Palmer, and John Wotbber
bee. Mr. Owen claimed that inspira
tion was one source of all religion ;
that Socrates, 2,000 years ago, held
substantially tbe same views that were
promulgated by spiritual inspiration
and performed the same miracles that
were witnessed in the present age.
The Church had to accept what
science dictated, and he hoped that
spiritualists would not fall into Swed
enborg's error of claiming that their
principles were infallible. He closed
by exhibiting a folded slate, upon
the inside of which, when closed, lie
said was written a message purport
ing to be from Theodore rarker, con
firming the generally accepted belie!
iu immortality. The audience ap
peared to be in perfect accord with
the speakers, and adjourned at ten o'-
clock.

A RAILROAD WAR
Title PkNK*YI.YANI A Ct-NI It *I. V Kit
granite BAI.TIROKK \VI OHIO.
A telegram dated Pittsburg, March
29, daecribea a conflict between thoac
two main moth corporations, the Penn
sylvania Central and the iiultimore
and Ohio railroad eoit>|uuiic*, now in
progress in Westmorland county, this
state, as follows:
Two "mighty corporations," the
Pennsylvania Central and the Haiti
more and Ohio, are at war, and an
engagement in which blue>dshcel is
likely to result is momentarily appre
bended. It 'appears that a short
time ago an attempt was made by the
Southwestern latlroad io tfleet a con
nection with the Mount Pleasaut
braueh of the Counellsville railroad
at Fountaiu Mills, a small station be
tween Bradford and Mount Pleas
ant.
The Southwestern, which is but the
IVIIIIKVIVUUIN Central, completed iU
truck to Fountain Mills uud desired
to make the couuection ; but this was
uol agreeable to the I'onncllsvtlle
company, which is the Baltimore ami
Ohio. Acoordlugly the latter cor
poration massed a large force of men
at the mills am! checkmated the ope
rations of the Southwestern company.
Finding that it was impossible to car
ry their poiut. the latter cotu|>auy ran
their track across the Mouut Pleasant
branch down to the terminus. But
though the Southwestern company
were worsted in this encounter they
were uol defeated, and kept a sharp
look out on theConuellsville company
in order, if possible, to catch the lat
tei otf guard.
Yesterday A. O. Tiusmau, presi
dent of the Bradford and .Mount
Pleasant road, issued an order to the
effect that the Conuellsvilie railroad
had forfeited all right to their road,
and that the directors would, therefore,
take possession of and run it to Brad
ford. The iss iug of this order raised
great excitemeut, as it was at that
point that the act had beeu consum
mated which transferred a whole liue
of road from the possession of tbe
Conuellsvilie company.
T. A. Scott arrived on Friday aud
weut down on the Southwestern road
from Grccnshurg, aud the initialed
knew that a movement of some kind
was in contemplation, aud accordingly
were on the <nii rive for development.
The Connellsville company, strange
to say, were unaware that a direct
movement was intended, and took no
precautions to concentrate men
enough on their leased load to pro
tect their interests. About two years
ago the Pittsburg, Washington aud
Baltimore company leased from the
owners of the .Mount Pleasant road
that concern for uineiy-nine years.
This givis the Connellsville company
a cenuection with the Mount Pleas
ant and Central and control of the ex
tensive freight business of thai
region.
The terms of the lease were in effect
that the leasee* of the road weie to
pay the owner of the J/ount Pleasant
branch si* per cent, per annum on
the stock, and the L'onjjellsville peo
ple were to have exclusive control at
these terms. The owners of the road
were Israel Painter, the Overboils
anil A. O. Tinsman, the greater part
of the stock, and consequently the
road. These gentlemen are well
known capitalists of this section of
the country, and the Pennsylvania
road had au eye on this territory, and
controlling, as it does, the Southwest'
ern, naturally its Interests were identi*
cal with those of the latter corpora
tion.
A private understanding had been
arrived at between Tinsman and the
magnates of the "Big Corporation," a
line of action was agreed upon. The
Southwestern, under the plea that
they had not received a cent of the
interest which they were to receive
from the Connellsville road, thought
the time had come to bring about a
change. The directors considering
the lease annulled, last night after
the down train had passed from Mount
I'leasunt, proceeded to tear up the
connection at Bradford.
The Southwestern railroad, headed
by the Superintendent Pitcairn, one
of the right bowers of that gigaotic
monopoly, the Pennsylvania railroad,
were in waiting with five locomotives
and a number of passenger and freight
cars, to take immediate possession of
the road. A full brass baud was in
1 attendance, with a great gathering of
1 spectators, who lustily cheered tneir
1 laborers us they plied their picks and
* crowbars in the work of tearing up
* the rails. The gang worked earnestly
* till alter dark, wheu tbe last rail was
■ displaced, and the branch was discon
' nected with Garrett's road.
This concern, under the fostering
< care of the mighty Pennsylvania Cen
' tral, put on their passenger trains and
! freight trains and to-day run all trains
on schedule time. They seem deter
mined to remain in possession of the
road, and ha.ve at each Scott station a
force of two hundred and fifty men
camped out like an army. A car
loaded with (tores ai.d provisions was
despatched to the men to-dav, and
they have instructions to hold the
road at all hazards. The men are
armed and prepared for desperate
work if necessary.
it is the general belief that the
Pittsburg, Washington and Baltimore
railroad company will appear with a
large fore; of meu to-morrow and en
deavor to regain possession and repair .
the damage done. If they obtain
possession it will be by force, which
I will result in bloodshed.
The St. Louis ami Cairo narrow
guage railroad, the first railroad run
ning into St. Louis that has been con
structed on the narrow guage princi
pie,, is open to Sparta, forty-eight
miles, and cars are now running be
tween that point and East Carondelet,
opposite South St. Louis, the present
northern terminus of the road. It is
reported that the whole line of the
road, 151 miles, will be completed in
running order by the middle of July,
as the road-bed is already prepared
with the exception of a few unimpor
tant breaks, and the iron and ties are
ready for puting down. The width of
the guage is three feet. The first six
miles of this road from St. Louis runs
through oue of the finest sections of
Illinois, mostly level, alluvial land,
producing enormous crops, after which
it enters a billy region which is rich
in coal and miderul deposits. This
road is intended to form a link in a
continuous line of narrow-guage rail
road between ct. Louis ami Mississip
pi City, on Ship Island harbor, on tue
Gulf of Mexico, the southern portion
of which is already under construc
tion.
IMPOKTANT LAW DECISION. —The

Indian Murderers
Depredation* on the Frontier—Several
Men Murdered.
LEAVENWORTH, April 2.— Direct!
and trustworthy advices from the:
southwestern frontier tell of further
depredations. On the 10th of March*
four government surveyors left camp!
and strolled dowu the river. Not re
turning that uight, their friends he
came alarmed and began the search
of them. Four miles out thejr struck'
an Indian trail of twenty ponies, and
three miles further found the bodies of:
the surveyors buried under the sand a
few inches deep. The murdered meu
were David Short and E. M. Deming,
of Arkansas city, C. H. Davis, of
Cream Kidge, near Chilliootbe, Mo.,
and Englishman named K. Pool..
Eight hundred Cheyenne* were in
camp two miles from the surveyors,
and the latter, fearing and attack, re
turned to Arkansas City, 150 miles
distant. Two more patrtiea are out in
that region with Dr. Colby and Will
iam M. Cough, of Washington. Ap
prehensions are felt for their safetv.
Thirty armed men, with thirty iays
supplies, left Arkansas City on Jfarcb
2&, to warn and protect the surveying
parties. Settlers on the frontier are
indignant, and no doubt will retaliate
on the Indians.

OUR PRINCE IMPERIAL.
How Lieut. Fred. Grant got Upon
Sheridan's Staff With the Rank of
Lieutenant-Colonel—TheTrue Story
—Wnat Old Army Officers Say'
About it.
[Carretpondenct of Ike Sun.]
Washington, March 81.—Yau must
know that we have in the Executive Man-
• ion just now Administration and a House
hold. That U the way old officers of th*
regular army stationed here speak of the
double-beaded concern. The administra
tion doe* things in a direct way; the
Household is an indirect way. Gen. Sher
man has had occasian to understand ex-,
actly how the** two influences are brought]
to bear to effect the same end.
Not many weeks ago the Household, not
the Administration, suggested in the
blandest manner to Gen. Sherman lhatpt
would be very agreeable if he would ap
point Lieut. Freddy a member of his staff,
to All either of the vacancies occasioned by
the retirement of Porter and Dent. If this;
were done, he would be transferred to
duty st the Eiecutivo Mansion, where be
would have the benefit of parental care.
This the impulsive old General promptly
hut respectfully declined to do. "If," j
said the General, "the young man had
seen four or five years' service in the field !
with hi* regiment, and shown himself
worthy of promotion, 1 would not have ob
jected. As it is an act which would be re :
gardcd as the very worst form of favorit
ism, and could not fail to give offense to
old and moritorious officers, to say nothing
*f its bad influence on the discipline of the
army." Since that time Gen. Sherman
has not been popular with the Household.
The fact is Sherman had Freddy under
his care in Europe, and knows his little
weaknesses mentally and otherwise, Fiud
dy, In fact, had to be "dragged through
West Point." To toll the plain truth
Freddy is not the brighest youth in the
world; but he is decidedly fast, and has
little failings which, if he were to apply
for admission into a "Young Men's Chris
tian Association," might be declared ob-
• jectiuneblc. But he came by these little
I failings naturally enough.
Secretary Belknap, and net the Admin
> i*t ration, wae reepoatible for bringing
f Freddy to Washington to eee the big show
on inauguration day. Ypu see, I am
bound to do the Administration justice.
' (Jen. Whipple assigned Freddy to do duty
in the procession to attend at the paternal
carriage. Somehow or other Freddy got
lost, or, as one of Sherman's staff styled it,
"mixed up," and did not And his way
h<>ipe until after f o'clock.
Now as hour Freddy got on Sheridan's
staff. Sheridan has always boon popular
with the Household, lie was hero, and
heard the story of Sherman's bluff refusal
to make Freddy a member of his staff. ,
And could he do anything less than make ,
the family (Household I should have said) ,
happy by at onco offering to make Freddy .
a member of his, with the rank of lieuten- j
ant-colonel? The feelings it has created ,
on the part of officers of the regular army i
is not so much against the administratiou t
as against Gen. Sheridan personally. If i
jQu examine the regulations you will see
that a general o£pr i# command of a de- t
partment has a right to stilact Lit oalu'stafc 1
officers ; but it is expected that he will ex- c
erciia judgement and discretion—thit he j
will select ofltcar* ofesperlsnes, and com- t
petent to the duties required of them, i
Thai .Sheridan did not do this is what it i
objected to here by eeery officer of the i
regular army I have conversed with. I
Freddy was in Bhrrtdsn's ewinniand. Had
ha been in say other, the sanction < tits
Kecretary of War would have been nscss
ary.
Tits rank, at you ars aware, is not psr
inattenf, only temtMiraiy. Hut the axiom
is gnee a rvnonel alwaysl a colonel; and it
is said by army officers here that tha
Household wss very anxious tw gel Freddy
"endowed" with the rank of Colonel, as
he intends to resign sown and go into mer
it-entile business with a distinguished Oiend
.of hit father In New York, and it would be
a leather in his cap if he could carry the
rank af colonel out of the army.
What pussies army officers herein re-|
gard to this singular bit of favoritism ia ax
to what sort of a compromise was made;
with Forty the, who is universally beloved, j
aud regarded as one af tha vary best offi
cers of the army. Yeu ware in ernr in
saying Forayth would net be relieved
"What has Forsyth bean premised?" is
1 the question boon asked bare. "1 don't
' think Sheridan wauld have made suck an
' appointment without Forsyth's agreeing!
' to it, aud having something batter prom
> teed, says another "1 den t Uka this
kind ot promotions," says an officer who
I has seen thirty-four years'service. "They
I smack of family influence, and are damn#-
f bla so far as the interest of the service is
i concerned." Wo shall see what turns up

very little. Several re**el* with diving
apparatus bad arrived at the wreck and
commenced operation* for the removal of
dead bodit* and cargo. The ea wti *til!
rough, but the wind had gone down to
that they could approach the locality
without danger.
The Carlotta'* pauengert, who get in

night wa* very dark, rainy, aad windy,
and that they were very anxious. She
taw nothing of the Atlantic.
The disaster wa* so soon over that hun

Of SOU women and children, a majority
were * wept out of the steerage, and drifting
ing beyond the vessel en immense wave*
were carried seaward and teen no more.
The bodies recovered will be buried at

A Paneoger'a Statement.
Halifax, N. 8., April 2.—A steerage
potsonger makes th* following statement:
1 turned into jny berth about 11 o'clock
Monday night. The night was dafk but
starlight, and the weather fin*. I knew
the ship wss going into Halifax for coal.
The last I remembered wa* that two bells,
one e'clock, struck. I then wont to tloep
and weke up with a shock, and remarked
to my ' There goes the anchor." 1
thought, of oourto, wa warp sgfo in Jlalj
fax harbcr; but as soon as *ho mads a sec
ond plunge, I said, "Good God, she's
ashere." With that we got up and dress
ed. The companion-way was thronged
with the lower steerage passengers. See
ing that the sea was commencing .to break
ever the ship and lower down the compan
ion-way, 1 got out as many a* possible to
take to the bunks and bold on by tbo Iron
tlancbion*. There we remained until after
daylight. The shfp had fkllen over, and ■
the steerage was full of water, one tide on
ly out of it. Our only chaaceefe*
caps knit : tW {Sins.' 4 number ul' ugn,
probably twenty, got ouUhrougb the port*
to the tide of the vessel. I remained until
til who were alive were out There were
a great many drowned in their hunkt, and
other* were drowned while trying to reach
the |Mirle. I got out through n port and
held fatt to the tide of the ship for about
two boon, and then went to thorn by the
life line. When I left the thip there were
•till a great many in the rigging.
Jat. McAllister, a pattenger belonging
to Ulatgow tayt:
1 was lr*jittiff lii my berth when the
vessel (truck. 1 *ll in the forward steer-1
aite, in the three liar* of which thora ware
awm IKK) person*, every una of whom ap
paarod to have baan awakened by the Ural
•hock. A fearfUl ruth ai made for tha
•aloon deck, which wai famed by many,
but otbar* wera forced back and perished
where they aleod. About 10 minute* after
1 gained the aaloon deck, the steamer ca
reened over and *uak, and thoae who had
not gra*|ied tha bulwark* and rigging
war* waiked over-board, and the fro ten
ceipaes could be teen drifting in every di
rection, A few woman, not mora than
half a Joaan, managed l J reach the deck,
but nona were aaved One woman waa
laebid to tbe ntiaaen rigging by her hue
j bend. Uer name i* not known, but *he
peri* Lad wbera *be wu, and her froaen
body afterward dropped down nnd wan
wa.hwi away. Iwu on the steamer from
tha lima he .truck till about 6 o'clock,
wheu I managed to ranch tba rock by the
aid of the line taken out by Quarterma*-
lar* tipeakman and Owan and third officer
Braddy. Tbe rock, not a large one, waa
crowded with men, and one man, a
IpaMenger, perUhed from exposure, We
trniained on the ruck nearly aix hour*,
and we were reacued by tmall boaU from
.bore. Many who attempted to reach the
.'rock were drowned.
Tbe M-eoe about the ateauier wu fearful.
The lifeleti body of the purser could be
•een banging over the aide of tbe steamer,
hit head jammed in between the rail*, and
the tea cau*ing the trunk nnd leg* to keep
in a continual motion. Hundred* of other
bodie* could be teen in a timilar poailion
Among tbe heart-rending scenes, one or
two were particularly *ad. One gentle
man, Albert Sumner of San Prancltro.
committed suicide by jumping from the
riffing into the water, flr*t taking off hit
looaL Other* who were near him endeav
ored to dittuade him, but thej were too
much benumbed to prevent him. He aaid,
"There i* no prospect of retcue, and it'*
u*elua* to remain here and *u(fcr." and
then be jumped overboard. One lady, a
•aloon paMouger, we* heard to aay to her
hutband, "Leave me and *ave your*cif.
You can't ave both." But be reftited,
and tbey went down together, rhuped in
each other * arm*. It vu the occasion of
uiuch remark that with very lew excep
tion* the married men ail perished. When
they found it impoetible to aave tbrlr
wive* and little one*, they prefered to die
with them to deeertinc them. Many in
•lance* are known where tbe men could
have escaped alone, but refuted to do ac.
Tbi* wai especially noticeable among tbe
German emigrants and Americana.
At one time during the weary watch he- 1
fore dawn the fore boom broke loose from
Its fastenings and swinging round instant
ly crushed to death about D persons who
were gathered on the house. When the
boats cam# from the shore to rescue the
survivors the sailors repeatedly pushed
passengers aside or knocked them down
and jumped ioto the boats. By direction
of the officers the boats did not go too near
the wreck, fearing that a rush might
swamp them. The hoots apprmrhed with
in a few yards and the people in them
called ta those on the steamer to jump in
the water, one by one. When they did so
the boatmen stood by and pulled them in
to the beats
REPORTED PLUNDER OP THE
BODIES-GALLANTRY OF THE
FIRST OFFICER
Halifax, N. 8., April B.—The wreck con
tinues to he the subject of conversation.
The papers give full details of the disaster
I j and statements of the officers. Captain
I Williams is censured by the people here
for his conduct, and the feeling is general
I that there should he a searching inveetiga
- lien Gopt. Williams went down to the
■ scene of the wreck to look after property,
i Hopes are entertained that the greater por
' lion of the cargo will he seved. The roe-
I:eel is Mill in the same position, the how
■ and masts being out of the water. SlaU*
i menu era made that the craw of the ship
indulged In plunder of the dead bodies.
One instance L related of a wretch wbe
mutilated ■ lady's hand to obtain posses
lion of a diamond ring on her finger. Her
body and that ef Mrs. Fisher, of Vermont,
| and Miss Meritt, of Chicago, washed
, ashore yesterday and lay side by side
among eighty others. These bodies will he
forwarded to their respective homes. One
woman passenger was confined only six
hours before the disaster.
Twe men reported saved, whose names
were unknown,* here .arrived here.
Tbey are Jemes Bate man, of London,
England, and Edward Mills, of Belfast,
- Ireland. Batawan was the only one who
succeeded in getting his wife up;tn the rig
ging, where she died from exposure.
Among the steerage passengers who gain
ed the deck were a young Englishman
with bis wife and child. Just after they
had succeeded in getting into the rigging
a wave snatehed away the child. The!
young woman said she was too much et- :
hausted to attempt to move, and entreated
' her husband to go forward and save him
jself. He did so, hut Mr. Firth, chief offi
cer, raftised to leave bar, and stood by her
until she died and dropped into ta the sea, |
and then it became impossible for him te
shift to a place ef greater safety. He was ;
the last person taken off.
Cause of the disaster was running short ,
ef con), n criminal carelessness.
The cerrect number lost is 687 ; number
saved 311.

Rousing A/ass Convention at Spring
f field, 111.
Springfield, April 2.—lncoming trains
of last night and this morning brought,
considerable accessions to the Farmers'
Convention, which met here to-day, and
nearly all the counties in Northern and
Central Illinois are represented. The at
tendance from the southern part of the
Stat* is not so full, but there are * number
of representative farmers from ibid
section.
Temporary President.
The Convention wet in th* court house'
at ten o'clock A. li., and was called to or-;
derby W. C. Flagg, President of than
(State Farmers' Association, who briefly
stated the objects of the Convention, and;
nominated Hon. W. M Hmith, of Mc-
Lean county, Ks-Ppeaker of the Illinois
House of Representative*, for temporary j
President. In taking tb* chair he simply
thanked the Convention for the boner
done him, and stated that be was in full
sympathy with tbs meeting, whose object
bo gfujerstood was to give to th* represen
tatives of the'peopl* now in the
Legislature here such an expression of the
view* ol the farmers of the State as they
cannot fail to understand.
Temporary Secretaries were chosen ; the
call for the Convention read, and the
Ustfal Loiuujittees appointed whon I recess
was taksu until * r. if. The Conjiuitteo*
on Credentials and Permanent
( ion reported, the latter as follows :
Permanent Organization.
For President—D. W. Dsvis.
Vice PresidenU for the State at large—
W. C. Flagg of Madison, and T. Enos
Smith of the Bureau, with an additional
Vice President from each Congression
al district, and a number of Secretaries.
Gov. Beveride was introduced and spoke
briefly on the subject which had drawn the
j Convention together. He cautioned the
paopi* Ml to make war upon nMlrogff.
to abolish them, but simply to bring them
under th# proper control f the people
through their Jtepresentativos.
Ex-Governor Palmare Views.
Kx-Governor Palmer then took the
•land bv invitaticn and made a short
| speech.
Ha took tha ground that the railroads
are public highways and their managers
public agents, both subject to the same
control by the legislature as other high
. ways and other public agents, but the real
managers of our railroads were net the
officers whe lived along the line or at the
other end of It, but the Jobbers In the
stocks ot these roads in Wall street, who,
by their matdpulalions, wrung from the
peopl extortionate prices for freight and
epprsssed both producers and consumers,
and as a remedy for this great evil be
would like to see a law pasted repealing
the laws now in force, whieh make the
stocks of lbost roads personal property,
and then impose the seme conditions upon
the transfer of these stacks as are new Im
posed on the transfer f the roads them
selves
In conclusion he urged them U> be pa
tient and persistent and they would be cer
tain to secure their objects at least.
