The steamboat llradlsh Jehnsen, used as a

utght. Twe whites, Otis McKlrey, of Mo

two negrees, t.ew Is Adam and Han Iltisb,
were drowued. It I ir limed that ten
ethers, all negroes, pcihlitd In thn lUiuta,
and ten ethura drowned, Mllhoine hail es
caped from his slceplug plsti, but went back
te save aomelssly and was inner seen sgaln.
He was eenslduud the eldest Hpressiiie"
man In the caisson business. A. C. Teall,
ene of the survivors, ssys
I had J u at genn tu Iibi! when I beard the
cry of llre. I get lulu my psnts aomehow,
and aelzed my ether rllnuts and rushed nut
Inte thn cabin. The smoke waia'rnady lining
the cabin, and the men wcre running around
like mad. I hardly kneiv w hat happened.
1 ran forward through thn cabin, and my
eyua and mouth get se roll el smoke that I
did net knew whom 1 was going, or hew.
The men nil camn running lerward about
the miiie time we get tbore. The osiet
burned very last, and was n solid mass el
flames In a moment. When 1 reached the
batik 1 turned around and saw the
pllol-hetisn slid leiai fall In with the
negrees. They tied up the bank lua mub
and rushed te the weeds, where thovhiiildled
llke sheep, and could net ha persuaded te
comedowuto the UMt As seen as 1 get
ashere 1 reperted that tbore were men In the
water en the ether side of the beat Kkllls
were manned and sent te their rosciie. They
picked up Mr. I) il v, one of the cilsien men
William Neal, an englishman In ene el Iho
akllli, s.uv two ni'KriHw near him, but they
sank out of sight. William Downing, the
cook, who let-elted alight burns en the
face and bauds, found a whlle man
lying in a slate room doorway. Dan
.Millien no came up, aud the two dragged
the man, supposed te be MulClrey, out of the
boiler deck. The man was unconscious from
the ellecta of smoke. Just then flames burst
out en tbe side, and Dawning Juuiied oer
tbe railing te savn his lite. Mllheuae, how hew
eer, said he heard a man groaning Just In
side, and he went back Inte the cabin te rescu e
this man He never came out again sad was
liener reeu alli after thai, and It Is believed
be was sacrificed In thn neble attempt te save
another man's life. Tliere is no telling Just

r.MlOUS I.STl.LI.I'll.N' Ml.- It Is nut jet
nocessary te build an Intersecting sewer from

northern part of the city, because no mere
tilth gets Inte thn Couestoga from any per
son's preierty In the northeaslern jwrt of the

necessary ie prevent tilth irem gelling Inte
the Couestoga aboe tbe water works a tun tun

Irem the run above Httmiel ltauck'a mill te

I'rlnce slrtHit te Kwortelr atreeL
Te build a sewer from I'rlnce street te
Keservetr street would only be putting a
great deal el money Inte the ground for
nothing. It would net cause the building of
mere dwellings or tbe building of mere
manufactories In that part of the city than
are new belug built . but it would raise tbe
city tax en each ixir man's house In this elty
worth (1,000 without It being of any geed te
him. Ve mere tlllh gets Inte the Couestoga
from any lemon' pret,erly In that part et the
city than there did 25 years age. 'I nere Is ue
doubt it Is against the city ordinance, which
should lie en forced by the water committee,
aud then no tilth would get Inte the Cones Cenes
toga abeve the water works and a great deal
el money saed te the taxpayers of this city.
A sewer from North 1'rlin.e street te Heser Heser
elr street Is net yet uecestsrv and will net
be In the next years. N'o"bedy would be
beuvlllud by the aewer from North I'rluce
street te Kesorvelr street but a few land
owners who would get thelr land talsed In
value hy It, and besides would get a great
deal el money for right of way, A. If an
ordinance te build a sewer Irem North
I'rluce and Clay streets Is pasned by councils
Iho major should veto It, hi It Is net vel
uecvssary te build It.

Marriett llreslit", counsel for J. 1 Stolu Stelu
melz, Iho auditor In the Hendersen estate,
prsaeuled a petition setting forth that depo
sitions have been taken by Mr, Hlolnmetr, te
refute the charge made by Mr. C. Kennedy
that lie was luteresled In certain claimants
against that estate when he was appointed
auditor, llolero llio-ie tlopesltlonn had been
filed, howeier, Jtnlge Pattorseu dismissed
the exception tiled by Mr. Kennedy. He
prayed the ceuit te rescind the order dis
missing the exception s-) that the depositions
taken might be made part of tbe case. Judge
Patterson granted the prayer of tbe poll
uoner ami Bam nouevorwaniou a similar ex.
ceptlen te be flled as the auditor dees net ap
point himself and the court Is rcsponslble for
the appointment of auditors. If It happoned
again the pitly ellsndlng would get In trou
ble. Judge Livingston said that someofhls rela
tives were Interested In the estate of Ames
Hendersen as creditors, and for that reason
he was net en the bench when the exceptions
te the auditor's reiert were argued. Mr.
Kennedy had, however, In his Judgment
taken tbe only means te gut hli excoptlen
properly en Iho ivcerd se lust the supreme
court could revluw IL He had objected te
Mr. fclteluuietz's xiipolutment for the reason
stated ; he leek Iho poiltien in another case
argued during this term that an auditor bad
no right te take i ceptlens te his own report,
aud he declded in that case that the auditor
had ue standing In court. His colleague,
however, dlllered with htm as te tbe regu
larity of Mr. Kennedy's etceptlen.
Judge Patterson sild ills Hener Judge
Livingston only dlllered with him ai te the

Judge Livingston paid the mode was
minted out. Delore the appointment of Mr.
Htemuiutz was made an examlner could have
been appointed te take testimony te ascer
tain whether or net Mr. Htelnmetx was
Interested In any claim against the estate.
Judge Patterson, In rescinding the order
dismissing the exceptions, directed the de
positions taken by Mr. Htolnmetz te lie tiled
anil that Mr. Kennedy should have notice of
any further depositions taken, and If he re-
'luircu n .ir. .I'cinmeizionave ms deposi

The society sonsatleu In Washington was
the abortive attempt Wednesday night el
Profosser H. K. Kmmens, of the goeloglcal
survey, te cause his vlfe's Incarceration In
the luuatle aylum. It aeems that Professer
Kuimens met his wile, who Is a Bostenlan,
in Paris while slie was a chorus singer In the
opera, foil In love with and married her.
They passed the honeymoon In England, re
turned te Husten and made their llrst appear appear
ance at Washington when Professer Emmens
was appointed te the goeloglcal survey.
Shortly tlierealler slie accompanled her bus
bind te Wyoming territory, te which point
be had been assigned te duty. They lived
at Cheyenne very pleasantly, the only ec
centricity of tbe lady being a fondues ler
driving feur-In-haud. Returning te Wash
ington a haudsemely lurnlshed heuse was
rented aud they entertained lavishly, being
v Islted by the most prominent aud wealthy
families of society. High carnival waa held
at the l.nunens mansion, and the lady main
tained stunning cqulppagns.
1'lually tliere was a general break-up be
tween tliu couple, and Mrs. Emmens went
te Eurepe. Although tier eccentricities wero
many aud peculiar, no suspicion ever at
bkched te her private reputation. (Sbe was a
dashing equestrienne, aud usually accem-
E anted the late Mis Kate Bayard In her
erseback exclusions. Sbe wuh with Miss
Kate llayard w ben the Litter's herse fell aud
sbe narrowly esciped belug killed. One el
her oddities, uei specially agreeable te her
friends, was her attachment te an Immense,
aavage looking Siberian bloodhound, which
accompanied her everywhere aud was given
a wide lierth by pedBslrslni.
Mrs. Emmens was about the streets freely
Thursday night, attended by her inald aud a
man attired In gorgeous livery. She entered
a drug store, and called ler a glass of vlchy,
and then bought candy, which sbe erdeied
charged te Mrs. S. t'. Emmens. Subse
quently she changed her mind, pulled out a
large roll of bills and pild for the same, say
lug she was only Joking with the clerk.
It Is said that while Profosser Emmens
was In New Yerk awaiting the arrival of his
wire from Europe, with u view of having her
sanity tested, the lady landed aud eluded
him, came home, p.i"kil up boxes of house
hold goods and shipped them northward,
saying she was going te Eurepe te live.

aaiembled In Fulton opera house te see the
well kuewu Bpectacular play of "Black

the only part el the auditorium that would
have accommodated mere people wai the
parquette. The cetnpvny producing the
piece Is under the management of Moulten
A Baker, the well known and successful
cheap opera meu, who this season have
branched out Inte a new field. They play
tbe plece by special arrangement with the
Kiralfjs, who are In San 1 ranclsce playing
"Enchantment." Nearly everybody la well
acquainted with the plot.'A , of the "Crejk"
aud all who have seen both productions
knew that It dlllera but slightly Irem "The
Devil's Auction," which wes se well glven
here recently.
The company of last night wai large and
strong, aud although the production does
net deiiend se largely up n geed actln g as It
does upon spectacular effects, A , tbe people
In tbe leading character did well. Frank 51.
Allen played the part of Hertiey th-3 ''roel,
and succeeded in making the character as
hideous as possible. Del Veche was geed as
Grtppe, whlle T. C. Heward ai .Vuxiimffian,
II. C. Wheelerus TJiirf..'; Maggie .Morgan
as .Armlnc, and Llllle eung as Du-nc Hit
tiara, successfully tilled their roles Miss
Ida Hewell, a maiden el geed shape aud
pretty ftce, made a beautiful fitalactu. Al
bert Martltiette, brother ef the jeung man
with "The Devil's Auction," wis an agile
Drngeln.
The ballet was lutrodured in three acts. It
Included a number of pretty girls aud geed
dancers. The work of M'lie Adcle Camls
drew lerth great applau-ie. 'Iho Amazeulan
march Iu the third act, led by Miss Hewell,
was very Hue and the pretty costumes and
glittering armor were very eilectlve under
the ditrereut colored lights.
A very great fcature et the show was the
specialties, which were Introduced In the
third acL They wero opened by Del Veche,
who played en numerous musical Instru
ments In manner that gained for blm
several recalls. The Herbtrt brothers, who
have elteii been seen In Laucaster with
Barnum and ether circuses, next appeared.
These three muscular j euug men are recog
nized throughout this c uutry as belug
among the best acrobats before the public
and their feata were asteulshiug. Duucau,
the ventriloquist, wound up this part or the
pregramme. This gentleman, who also oc
cupies a freut seat In his Inn, has been seen
Iu Ljuuaster several times before. List eve
nlng he seemed better than ever, and his acts
wero as successful as his reception was
warm,
The scenery w as as geed as ever scen bore
In the play, while the ces.umts were rich.
