DISASTER&
The Sea Bard Calamity—Al Thrilling
Stery—hteetement of minurvivur.
(From the Chicago Jouratil.l
At 1 o'clock this morning, Mr. E. Adsms, pro
prietor of ; the Evanston House, at Evanston, was
aroused by an applicant for Wilmission. Upon
opening the door he beheld a,niart incased with
ice frozen fast to his clothing, atm presenting a
truly pitiable condition. The man stated that he
was a survivor of the ill-fated steamer Bea Bird,
which was enough to insure a hospitable recep
tion at the bands of Mr. Adams. That gentleman
immediately ordered supper for his guest, who
demurred, when he heard the order given. "But
you must be hungry," suggested Mr. A. "I
certainly am," was the replj, "having had
nothing to eat since Wednesday night. But I
have no money, sir; I had . some, bat it was in
the keeping of any wife, and she has gone—all
lost;",and tears , rolled down the cheeks of the
sufferer. Mr. Adams kindly cared for him, pro
vidinghim with food, lodging and a suit of
clothes.
This morning, the writer of this drove to
Evanston and had an Interview with the man
who so miraculously escaped from an appalling
death. Els name is James U. Leonard, and he
balls from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, where he was
until recently engaged as a saleeman in a store.
Mr. Leonard Was one of the Brat to leave the
boat, and consequently is less familiar with the
thrillteg scenes that were enacted thereon than
were the other survivors whose statements are
given above. The substance of his statement is
as follows:
Mr. Leonard got on the eteamer at Manitowoc.
Wednesday morning, accompanied by his wife,
bound for Chicago. At about 7 o'clock yester
day morning, Mr. Leimard went upon deck and
conversed with the first mate of the steamer in
regard to the distance to Chicago. The mate
said they were twenty miles from Chicago, and
opposite Lake Forest. Mr. Leonard then went
to hie wife's state-room, and eoon after heard the
alarm of fire. lie went out to ascertain the cause
of the alarm, and found the boat on fire, and the
flames bursting out near then tern, and close to
the state-room that he.had just left: Ile imme
diately rushed in to rescue his 'wife. but was pre
vented by the lames, which cut off communica
tion, with the state-room. lie did not see or
hear his wife after he left the state-room when
the ahirrri was given, and she undoubtedly per
ished in the flames.
Mr. Leonard agrees with the statement of Mr.
Chamberlain tot to die general description of the
catastrophe, but thinks that there were not more
than thirty passengers on board. A large num
ber got off at Milwaukee--much larger, he
thinks, than the number that embarked at that
port.
Mr. Leonard, finding it too hot to stay on the
boat, and realizing the fact that her destruction
was inevitable, sprang into the water, and, being
a vigorous swimmer, soon got hold of a board,
and soon after clambered upon a piece of the
plfddle‘box floating near. He clung to this and
drifted with the waves to the southwest, landing
three miles north of Evanston, between 7 and `+3
o'clock last night, after being upon the fragment
of the wreck twelve hours, drenched to the skin,
his clothing frozen and himself more dead than
alive after his perilous ride of not far from fifteen
miles. •
Mr. Leonard saw about twenty passengers
jump into the water. Some swam around for
some time, and others seemed to sink almost im
mediately. He saw no women.jump overboaru,
and did not see any women in the water. lie be
lieves that there were about ten women on board,
all of whom must have perished in the Dames.
Mr. Leonard states that an attempt was made
to launch the steamer's boats, but the rapidity
with which the flames spread rendered it impos
sible to-accomplish that object. Mr. Leonard
says that the sea was not very high, and that the
boats could have easily weathered it if they could
have been launched.
CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
There can scarcely be a doubt that this melan
choly calamity was caused by the carelesime.s
of the cabin boy, In attempting to throw over ,
board, from the after-guards, a collection 61
ashes and 11Ve coals taken from the stove 1 • lie
ladies's cabin. This done in the teeth of Li , • 'a
wind caused a portion of the contenta of ti 4
to be driven inboard among the pile of fro on
the after-deck, consisting of new palls and
packed in straw. The act of carelessness was
observed and censured at the time, without a sus
picion of Its seriousness, for it was among the
freight that the flames a little later broke out,
and from this highly' combustbole material spread
rapidly to involve the entire boat.
But more than this, deserves to be impressed
the warning derived from the strict instructions
of Capt. Goodrich, enforced by all the terrible
experiences of fire at sea. When the fire breaks
out the boat should be stopped instantly. A craft
under headway destroys all possibility of lower
ing her small boats, while the headway fans the
fierceness of the devouring element. The en-'
tines stopped, the boat becomes a mere float
from which hurried debsication is possible. The
attempt "to reach the shore" has cost multitudes
of lives, with advantages realized only in the
rarest, instances. The Bea Bird was perfectly
equipped and appointed. The casualty that over
took her was from no defect in her outfit, but the
unfortunate error m her management after the
fire, allowing her passengers to make use of
floats and life preservers. These careful inatruc
dons of Capt. Goodrich seem to have been ut
terly neglected in this instance, but which en
forced In this disaster should help form the rule
of action on all similar occasions of peril.
The Church Accident in Chicago—La.
ter Particularly.
(Proin the Chicago Journal, of April 10th.)
One of those unloolied for, mysterious, and un
accountable accidents which occasionally burst
upon the public like the flash of a meteor, oc
curred last evening at half-past 8 o'clock in St.
Mary's Catholic Church, located on the south
west corner of Walnut avenue and Madison
street. The particulars of this sad affair are as
follows:
The house was filled with people of either sex,
all the seats in the galleries as well as those in
the body of the barite being occupied. At the
hour above mentioned, as the solemn service was,
being intoned, a crash near the centre of the
building was heard. An abutment which sup
ported the floor had settled a few inches, pro
ducing a sound that seemed to portend the
destruction of the entire building. Immediately
following the crashing noise came the cry of fire,
uttered it is thought, by some person or persons
In the gallery. These sounds and cries were
sufficient to produce a complete panic, and then
ensued a scene of confusion and terror which
baffles description. The entire assemblage made
a rush for, the doors. Most of those on the main
floor succeeded in effecting an exit from the
building without much difficulty; but those in dhe
galleries did not fare so well. Notwithstanding
the loud protestations Of several persons near
the altar that there was no danger, the
crowd in the galleries..surged toward the
stairways, which were immediately blocked up
with struggling, suffering, terror-stricken human
beings, and all thought of anything but self
preservation seemed to vanish from the mind of
every one. Nor were any scrupuleus as to the
means of securing their own personal &slaty.
While the most unmerciful jamming and crush
ing were going on in the stairways, and helpless
women and children were being trampled down
like insects, strong, heavy men leaped over, the
railing of the galleries and droppedcupon the
heads of the masses below.
Finally and before the building *as emptied.
the „tunic partly subsided, and it became evident
toy that there was really no occasion for such
a :demonstration. Meanwhile an alarm of fire
WI been rung from box N 0.12; Which had the
effect, to bring to the scene a lame number of
policemen, as well as private citlzeuo,loo,tlritno e

of the stampede !were found to be terrible, in-

deed. Three women were killed 'outright, their
lives crushed out by the heels
of men; another so seriously injured that
her life is despaired of, while five women and one
rutin were more or less bruised. The dead and
wounded were at once removed into the convent
adjoining the churelf. A large number' of physi
cians were at once on the spot, and rendered
most efficient assistance to the sufferers, whose
friends, agonized with grief and fear, hastened
In to learn of their condition.
. _
There was intense excitement in the streets,
and numbers of men, who were aware that their
wives, daughters, sons, brothers or friends had
attended the evening services at St. Mary's, har
ried anxiously thither to learn their fate.
The bodies of those killed outright In the panic
were removed to the basement of the church,
'there to remain until identified by their friends.
The,. appearance 'of the corpses of the three
women denoted that death bad ensued both from
the trampling upon their bodies, and from Bai r
location, as the features of each were swollen
and distorted as though from a struggle for
breath. Two of the bodies were soon iden
tified as being those of Jane and Mary
McNulty, the former the wife ' and
the latter the daughter of Patrick McNulty,: a
laborer, residing at No. 53 Fourth avenue. Mo
ther and daughter, aged respectively 50 and 17
years, both had loft home early in the evening to
attend the Geod Friday services, and had taken
seats in the gallery. When the panic arose they
clasped each other's hands, and together sank to
the floor and died.
This morning the body of the third victim was
identified as that of Margaret Clancv, a girl about
Nineteen years of age, who lived with the family
of Mr. Allen, on Indiana avenue.
Another Sad Accident in Chicago.
[From the Chicago Journal of April U.)
The truth of the well-known saying that "mis
fortunes never come singly" is being fearfully
illustrated in this city and vicinity. We are
called upon to-day to chronicle two disasters that
have occurred in our midst within the past few
hours, one of which, however, though of a
frightful character, did not result in any loss of
life.
At a quarter before ten o'clock this morning an
alarm was Founded from box No. 28, situate
corner Twelfth and Clark streets. The Fire De
partment turned out and hastened to the locality.
They found, instead of fire having destroyed a
Wilding. that the wind had levelled a large frame
.tructure on Clark. between Taylor and Twelfth
streets. Their services were called into requisi
tion to remove the r147 - i.. and !Worth for the bodies
of fifty persons who were reported to have been
buried in the ruins. In a short time thousands of
of people had gathered on the spot, having been
attracted by reports of another awful disaster,
news thereof having spread like lightning. Hap
pily that portion of the intelligent* regard
ing loss of life proved unfounded; and be
, ond the injury of a few of the workmen,
no serious results followed the falling of the
structure.
The building whirl fell stood on the west side
of Clark street, between Taylor and Twelfth. It
was forty-four feet deep, one hundred and ninety
eight feet front, comprising three stories and a
brick eellarage. It was divided on the first floor
into ten stores. while the upper two flats were
F.et apart as dwellings. It was, owned by Mr. C.
P. Mackay, who was also the constructor. Ita
cunt of erection is claimed at $20,000.
A very sudden gust of wind sprung up in the
southwest and struck the unboarded part of the
block. The wind rushed into the building with
great force and was unable to escape at the
ocarded end, and the result was a crash. The
building fell toward the northeast. showing that
the wind had mainly caused the disaster. Mr.
McKay claims that the building could Not have
fallen from any other cause, as it was well and
t.ubstatitially studded.
Ten of the men engaged upon the edifice were
hurt, some of them seriously.
EUROPEAN AFFAIRS
the Irish Church Question—Debate In
tee House of cozutuons.
In the course of the recent debate in the Eng
!ish House of Commons, speeches were made by
r ,, veral eminent men on both sides. We
!five abstracts of those of Mr. Gladstone and Mr.
Bright:
MR. GLADSTONE'S SPEECH
Mr. Gladstone rose, loudly cheered by the Op
position, to move that the House now resolve it
self into Commitiee to consider these acts. He be
gan by a happy 'reference to the motions just
made, accepting thaw as a sign that some members
.it least Would meet This motion by a proposition
equally broad and intelligible as his own, and the
solemn controversy on which tne House was en
tering would be cohducted without "trick or con
trivance," This phrase elicited loud cheers and
counter-cheers from both sides,but Mr. Gladstone
made haste to except Lord Stanley's amend
ment from this category, by admitting that it
was an amendment entirely within his discretion,
and fairly raising the merits of the case. His
general object, Mr. Gladstone went on to explain,
was to commit the House to the opinion that the
Irish Church as an establishment should cease to
exist, and though he did not hold it to be his
duty to undertake responsibility for the details of
any plan, he did not object to indicate the general
`Gases of a settlement. The cessation of the Irish
Church as an establishment must be
accompanied by the condition that every
proprietary right and every vested
interest should receive the amplest consideration
and satisfaction; and, more than that, everything
which could be considered a matter of feeling
must be treated with conciliation, and every
doubtful claim even must be handled in a spirit
of equity.. The chief thing-to be renounced was
the maintenance in Ireland of a clergy salaried
by the State. Among the claimants for compen
sation he enumerated not only the holders of
benefices, but those who had devoted themselves
to the clerical•profession in expectation of suc
ceeding to those benfices; the private holders of
advoweons (who owned about one-sixth of the
Church patronage of Ireland), and he
added that recent endowments. must also
be respected. ,The result of all these excep
tions, Mr. Gladstone calculated would be
that what he described as the "Anglican commu
nity" would remain in possession of from three
fifths to two-thirds of the present money value
of the Church endowments, and the residue, he
insisted, must be treated as an Irish fund, to be
used solely for the benefit of the Irish people.
The other religions bodies who are Subsidized by
the State must be treated on exactly the same
principles, so as to put a end to all grants from
the Consolidated Fundor the support of any
ii
religions denomination n Ireland. Mr. Glad
stone next defended the Liberal party and him
self from the charge of not having dealt with this
question before; and, in answer to the sarcasm of
"sudden, apostacy" aimed at himself, he men
tioned that 25 years ago, in a letter relating to an
electioneering contest, he had declined to pledge
himeeN to maintain the Irish - Church, oruptinel
ple, and he'attributed his defeat at Oxford to the
views he had expressed in 1865. Dealing with
the arguments against the abolition of the Irish
Church,he dilated at great length on the objection
that it would endanger the Established Church
in England, andinsisted that ehe,would, on the
contrary,be greatly strengthened by bein relieved
of this political and social injustice. ' H&showed,
too, in an elaborate, historical and statistical ar
gument, that though the penal laws had been enc.- '
cesefid in keeping dawn the number of Roman

out the resolutions. On this point Mr.
Gladstone repudiated In the strongest lan
gnsge the intention of merely projecting
into air an "abstract resolution,'—t, mode of pro.
cedure which, be said, bad always been mischie-
VOUS and for which he never had and never wit
would be responsible. Criticising Lord
Stan ey'e amendment, he argued that it would
convey no consolation to the Irish population,
!hat it hulieated a desire to agitate the question
(4 bleb he himself bad carefully esehewed,having
patiently waited until the hour had come), and
t hat showed very file respect for the now Par
liament, inasmuch as it declined to remove out of
its way considerations which must embarrass it In
dealifig
with
with the question. Dealing
next with the .argument that this, concession
would not pacify the Roman Catholics,. Mr.
Gladstone entered into 'an historical retro
spect to show , that all our concessions to Ireland
bad been the effect of apprehensions; and after
examining the character, the circumstances and
conies 'of the present crisis, he concluded in an
eloquent peroration by exhorting the House to
assist in building up, "by the cement of human
concord, the noble fabric of the British Empire."
MR. BRIC.UT'S SBERCH.
Mr. Bright commenced by remarking on the
considerable change, if not of view, at least of ex
pression, .which had characterized the debate.
even Lord Cranborne had seemed to admit that
the time was near at hand for surrendering his
eheriebed principle of an Establishment, while
the Government spoke with a different voice from
night to night. Mr. Hardy—in a speech which
Mr. Bright complimented highly—had answered
Lord Stanley, and on Thursday, probably, Mr.
Disraeli would Answer Mr. Hatay. This was
the result of government by a minority, on
the inconveniences of which Mr. Bright
dwelt with great felicity. The result \was con
fusion and chaos; there was really neitherGovern
meat nor . Opposition—the Ministeriatists could
neither support their own views nor adopt those
of the Opposition.. Passing to the main ques
tion, Mr. Bright pointed out that the disestab
liehment, which had been described as a "revolu
tion," only affected 700,000 people, or 100,000
families, about the population of 'Liverpool or
Manchester, and if this change were effected the
Irish Protestants would only be left in the same
position as the majority of the Scotch people,
nearly all the Welsh people, half of the
English people, and the whole of our colonists.
There were only two pretences on which a State
Church could be justified—religions and political.
As a religions institution for the conversion of
ROanan Catholics, the Irish Church had been a
deplorable failure. Indeed it had made the'lrish
Catholics of Ireland more intensely Roman than
in any other country, and the political Influence
of Rome Mr. Bright held to be a great calamity.
AB a political institution, it had been
equally a failure; for though the State
for years bad defended It by the sword, the
present condition of Ireland was anarchy subdued
by force. This change, Mr. Bright asserted (met
with a few faint den ia ls), was desired by an in-,
fittential and wise minority of Irish Protestants;
From 'peer to peasant the Roman Catholics were .
unanimous in its favor, and the people of Eng . -
land and Scotland would eagerly welcome this
great act of atonement for past errors. If such
evils had been produced In any of our colonies
by a State Church, Parliament would have abol
ished it at once. As to any danger to the Church
of England, her greatest enemy was not the Lib
eration Seciety, but zeal, the chief peril of all
establishments, whether developed in Ritualism
or Evangelleanism. 'As long as she preserved
internal bailooty, the ' boldest pro-.
phet would not predict the day
of her downfall. Reasoning gently
with the Ministerialists. Mr. Bright endeavored to
persuade them that this disestablishment was not
more serious than Free Trade, Reforih and other
changes which they had once resisted and had
cilleo found to be mere hobgoblins, and, after an
emphatic and significant disclaimer of party and
personal motives, he concluded with an eloquent
exhortation to then* not to close their ears to
moderate counsels, and not to increase the dis
content of Ireland and play the game of the
Fenians by refusing this great act of justice.
The debate was then adjourned until Thurs
day, April 2.
MALTA. Aprill2, 1868.—Admiral Farragut, of
the United States Navy, arrived here, on board
the flagship Franklin, accompanied by the Ame
rican war ship Ticonderoga. The Admiral was
received with all the national honors and marked
attention and courtesy . by the authorities and
inhabitants. He Is to visit Lisbon.' The United
States naval transport Guard, forming part of the
Mediterranean squadren under command of Ad
miral Farragut, is in this port.
The Italian and French papers contain long
accounts of the funeral of Daniel Mania,
which has just taken place in Venice. The
ceremonies extended over three days. On
the first day the coffin, placed upon a gondola
hung with black and illuminated with torches,
left Mestre and entered Venice towards eve
ning, followed cy the coffins of Mania's wife
and daughter, and by hundreds of other gon
dolas, also hung with black and lighted up.
This strangely picturesque funeral procession
was four hours in reaching its destination,
the Church of San Zaccaria, where the coffins
were deposited for the night. The next
day Manin's remains were placed upon
the Piazza of St. Mark, and ad
dresses were delivered there by French and
Italian speakers. The coffin was afterward
f li
removed to the arch of St. Mark, and all
the rest of' the da , and during the whole of
the night,the pee le passed in one continuous
stream through e building to look upon the
funeral displa . The following day the
coffins of Man n's wife and daughter were
also placed in St. Mark's, and the religious
ceremony then took place. M. Tenier, of
the Siecle, says it was so impressive that the
old friends of the dictator who were gathered
round his tomb wept as though death had
occurred only the day before. George Mania,
the son of Daniel Manin, was conspicuous
among the mourners.
The coitus was borne by sailors of the
Italian fleet, and being carried up the steps
was deposited in the centre of the galley.
Four captains with drawn swords stood at
each corner of the catalque, while soldiers of
the National Guard stationed on the lower
steps presented arms. The funeral galley
then went majestically forward, being pro
pelled by sixty rowers. Notwithstanding the
Bounds of solemn music the general appear
ance was that of a fairy scene elaborately got
up on the trafalquil lake. ' Three or four hun

CRIME.
Bleary Znibezzlement in Chicatke—A.
Clerk Abeeende with 1110 1 000.
'Wrens the Chicago Repot)Rosa of April Mb.]
One of the boldest and, for the criminal; most
successful cases of peculation, whereby a well
known business firm was swindled out of a large
sum of money, has just come to light.
Morris Feegel, for six.years past has been in
the employ of Messrs. I. Weikel du
Bro., cattle-dealers. fie was trusted with
the greater part of their money matters;
collecting -bills - which had 'become dee
and frequently baying' checks signed inldink,
left at. his command,- with which ,to draw, funds
from the bank, and pay off the debueof the firm.
This latter circumstance wee especially the case
a few weeks since, wben the senior member of
the firm went east on business. Before leaving
the city be signed, la blank,,several checks, and
left them' to be used, if necessary.
Last week. Foegeh who had probably waited
for such a. favorable opportunity, filled several of
these checks out at different times, and, sent
them to the bank, drawing in all the sum of
Er 6,8 0 0 from the bantling house, where Messrs.
Weisel deposited their money. Not satisiled'with
this large sum, and determined to a dlb the
firm as much as possible, he collected IA which
had become due, to the amount of $3, more,
and with the entire amount, $10,200, left for
parts unknown. Not alone, however, for with
him went a woman, mauled Katv. Newton, but
whose real name Is Catharine lie,ynolds. The
two left this city on last Sunday afternoon, at
half-past 4 o'clock, via the Michigan Central
Railroad.
When Mr. M. Waixel, thajunior partner, went
to the office Monday forenoon he was unable to
effect an entrance. Making inquiries as to the
whereabouts of his clerk, he was told to his aston
ishment that Foegel t had left the city the day be
fore. Instantly his.snspicinns were aroused, and
an examination of the affair revealed the above
facts. The aid of Pinkerton's Detective Police
was called into service, and it is'quite likely that
the absconding swindler. will soon be brought
back to this city.
A ° Very Strange Story.
" Agate," the Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, in a recent letter
says that a South Carolinian, of unques
tionable personal -honor and 'of - the best
standing at home, has been telling one of
the Managers of impeachment a curious
story. It seems scarcely credible, and yet
witnesses are named and dates given with a
minuteness that at least warrants its repeti
tion. In the winter of 1860-6.1, before Major
Anderson had left Fort Moultrie for Sumter
—the story runs—a small boat one night ap
proached the landing before the gate of.
Moultrie, and was hailed by the sentry.
The gentleman in the boat sent word to the
commander of the fort that ho was the
bearer of a message froth the President of
the United States. It was after midnight,
and Major Anderson, on being aroused to
receive the message, sent word that he
would see the gentlemen in the' morning.
In a few moments the pn77led sentry re
turned. The gentleman said that he was in
structed by the President of the United States
to deliver a certain message; that his instruc
dons required him to deliver it forthwith;
that he had used all possible despatch in pro
senting himself; and that he must insist on
being received without delay. Thereupon,
Major Anderson hastily dressed himself, and
ordered his untimely and pertinacious visitor
to be admitted. The gentleman proved to be
an officer holding a responsible position in
the civil service of the Government in South
Carolina. He presented a communication
addressed to the commanding officer in
Charleston harbor, and signed "James
Buchanan, President of the United States."
It required him to deliver, on receipt of the
order, fifty cases of rifled arms, then in his
possession, to the civil authorities of the
State of South Carolina.
Major Anderson remonstrated. The bearer
of the order persisted. "There is the hand
writine," he said, "of your Commander-in-
Chief; I insist upon an obedience to its
requirements." Or, if the Major were un
willing to obey, he insisted upon an explicit
statement to that effect. Thus pressed, the
well-intentioned officer,the story goes on,saw
no escape from obedience,and an order for the
delivery of the guns was signed. These were
the guns, the South Carolinian who makes
these statements adds, with which sharp
shooters afterward picked off our soldiers at
the embrasured of Sumter, while the insur
gents reduced the fort.
"The question arises," said the 3lenager
who told me the story, "whether the order
thus presented was a forgery. If not, then 'I
hold that we ought yet to try and hang
,James
Buchanan." For myself, I confess the whole
thing wears a mythical look, but the people,
who tell it are men whose words cannot be
questioned, and it can do no harm to ask
whether anybody else knows anything about
the sending or delivery of such an extraor
dinary order, shortly before the transfer
of Anderson's garrison from Moultrie to
Sumter ?
Londoners Smell a Rat.
If the London newspapers can be trusted,
the community whose mental food they are
must be "hard up" for a sensation. This last
attempt is the apprehension of S. Hamm,
rat-catcher, on a charge of catching rats in
the city without a license froin the Com
missioners of Sewers. Unless the whole
affair be a Humm, and nothing • more, this
Humm caught thirty-five rats in the public
sewers. The commissioners claim these rats
and their pasture grounds as private property,
and had Mr. Humm seized and tried before
Aidermtui, Hale for the trespass.
The speculations of the press on the inci
dent naturally run upon the possible object of
the rat-catcher, and the value of the game, so
carefully preserved, to the officers. Some re
gard him as a philosopher, who extirpates
vermin for the love of his own kind, ,or the
hatred' of theirs; some as a naturalist or corn
' parative anatomist after subjects; others
would explain all by allusione to the present
state of the kid glove manufacture, or the de
sire of the boSfs for a rat-fight in a Lambeth
pit. The fact, however, probably is, that all
these are 'feeble attempts to keep out'of view
the real explanation, which must cause a
shudder to every Londoner that the Pekin
markets now have a disguised parallel In
those of London, and that , the hippOptiagitita,
defeated on their first ground of horse. have
chosen a new method of attacking social Pre
