Slh Grunts gultnte Henry A. Parsons, Jr. Editor THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1873. Letter from Washington- Washington, D. C, August 7, '73. About half past eleven o'clock Inst sight news reached tjiis city o a terri ble disaster the burning of a stoavner on the Potomac. People wore juso re turning from the schuctzenfest and the news spread rapidly through the city. Even at that late hour crowds soon gathered at the street corners and news offices anxious to obtain some definite information. The steamer burned, the Wawaset, was well known as an excur sion boat, and it was feared she bad on board a largo party of pleasure-seekers, but a digpatoli from Fredericksburg an nounced that the o'.crk's list numbered only about ooo hundred and fifty pas sengers. The boat started on her regular trip down the liver yesterday morning, most of her passengers iutending to stop at various points for a week's holiday iu the country. About eleven o'clock, just as sue was stoppiug at tho landing at Chatterton's Point, where there is no wharf, all on board were startled by a cry of "Fire! Fire!!" and the flames were seca issuing from the hold of the vessel. The captain and crew made every effoit to maintain order among the panic-stricken passengers, but in vain. They then turned their attention to the fire and endeavored to extiuguish the flumes, but it was too late. In fifteen minutes the fire had made such head way that it was eutirely beyond control. There were two boats belonging to the steamer, and one was immediately filled and lowered, but by some mishap the entire party were pitched into the water and the boat lost. The vessel was headed tor the shore and struck about 200 yards from land on the Virginia side. And now', as the boat rapidly became wrapped in sheets ot name, the scene is described as terrible. As the passengers leaped into the water the crew stood on deck and threw down to them stools, barrels, and anything that would float, while the people of tho neighborhood, who had by this time perceived the disaster, stood on shore powerless to render any assistance. The captain was the last man to leave the boat and is said to have maintained his self-possession through out the trying scene. I no number ot lives Jost cannot te positively stated as yet. It was placed as high as forty or fifty this morning but that was doubtless an exaggeration. Many conflicting rumors are circulated and it is impossible to ascertain the truth A steamer arrived this morning bring ing twenty-five survivors and eleven dead bodies. The scene at the wharf was mournful beyond description Three of the dead were babies who have been identified. Another was little boy of four jears, who lay beside his aunt, white and still as marble. Near this child lay the bodies of four colored children from two to five years old who were unclaimed. Whether their parents lost their lives at the same lime or are still at the scene of tho wreck searching for their little ones is unknown. One case in particalar is so sad as to awaken sympathy in the hardest heart, .lhe wife, three children ana auot o! Officer Reed of tho police force were on board, and it is feared are all lost. Tho bodies of the auot and one child have been recovered and brought to the city Strong hopes are entertained that some of the others may be fcund safe. JMaoy of the passengers on hoard were colored people, and the excitement among their friends in this city is intense. The cause of tho fire is unknown, but it is thought to have originated in the engine-room. The matter will be thoroughly investigated at once and tho result ot tuu inquiry given to the pub lie. aue Wawaset has been running about eight years and was recently re- fitted and supposed to be in perfect order, bhe was valued at 3o.0U0 and insured for 828,000. This terrible dis aster has cast a gloom over the whole city, and ell hearts aro filled with syra pathy for those who are tho 'reatet sufferers. The Dead Letter Oflico of the Post Office Department has been full of business. During the mouth of July the business done was as follows: Urdi nary letters received, 221,745; drop let ters received, 30,900; letters held for postage received, 27,252; wrougly-di- 'rectcd letters received, 4,701; hotel let ters received, 2,252; letters dirocted to fictitious persons, C'JO; registered letters. 470; returned from foreign countries 7,701. m Thirty marriages a day in Philadel phia argues something more than brotherly love to the Boston Post. An experienced military writer says, "In an engagement, among the most nervous men you will fiud the best sol diers." A new party is forming in Spain op posed to having a fresh political crisis in that country oltener than seven times a week. Ladies' toes are worth something in Auburn. A lady who broke her big toe by a fall on the sidowalk made the city pay $1,500 damages Somo of the hunters of Binghamton, N. Y., are looking for a wild man in the woods on Mount prospect. These who have seen him say he can whoop like a Modoo. A colony of 150 families is being or ganized in Indianapolis, lnd , with a view to settling iu Southern California. Their plan is to purchase not less than 10,000 acres ot good farming land, lay out.atowa in the midst of it, aud then allot each member a firm and a block 300 feet square in the town. GENERAL NOTES There is a law firm in Boston called Steele and Gamble Editor a poor wretoh who empties his brain to fill bis stomach. The umbrella which Washington used to carry is to be seen in Boston. There are 812 paper mills in the United States, which last year turned out 317,887 tons of paper. England exported $1,024,430 worth of books during the first four months of this year. A new uso for petroleum is for clean ing guns, which, it is said, it effectually protects from rust. A lady in Hartford, Conn., gives no tice that Bhe will assume no debt of her husband's contracting. A Scandinavian paper is to be started at Lawrence, Kansas, the only one pub lished west of the Mississippi. Ithaca, N. Y., has a rara avis in the shape of "a young American girl who wants a situation to do housework." Water is selling at one bit per bucket in Gold Hill, Nevada. Beer is about as cheap, and in greater demand. The value of the daily products of Montana is already over $500,000 an nually; but that is only a feeble begin ning. From San Dieogo comes the news that the new river in the desert is full of water, overflowing a large area of country. The father of one of tho principals in the Troy prize fight wagered his farm up in Vermont and three horses against $4,000 that his offspring would beat ris man, and ho won, though tho odds against him. were six to one. A California has invented a machine to assist in starting street ears. It utilizes tho weight of the car in de scending a grade, accumulates and stores the power generated by gravita tion, and applies the same when needed to assist in ascending a hill. To preserve eggs perfectly fresh foi six or eight months, beat up the white of an egg with a little salt say a scruple and thieo teaspoonfuls of cold water, boon after the eggs are laid, and while still warm, if possible, paint them over with the above with a large camel's hair brush, that the whole surface is painted, then place upon blotting paper till dry and hard. Pack away in dozens amongst corn chaff or bran. Before using the albumen, filter it through muslin till clear and free of bubbles, If, alter beiug albumenized, it is almost sure to take a chip out of the shell. ST.
