gtt k-4lrtss, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1885 The lirpther Jonathan Disaster—De• iiiita the Terrible Affair. The San Francisco papers, received here on seturday, give some details of the terrible dis aster to the Brother Jena - than, on the Pada , coast. The following, front the Bulletin, gives the latest particulars: "As everything relating to the sad affair is of absorbing interest to the public,we subjoin the statement Of quartermaster lates, as fob lows "We had returned seven or eight miles toward Crescent City, and were eight miles due west of Point of St. George, when, without wearing, the stainer struck with full force upon a sharp ledge, which, at the lowest ebb, - projected about a yard above the surface. The bottom of the steamer went to pieceS with a crash. In three minutes, says the wheelman, the large fragments of the bottom and a part of the rudder were alongside. There were no frantic acts among the passengers, though they, as well as the Officers, must have had a fall sense of their awful peril. Capt. DoWolf ordered one of the larger boats lowered, and tilled with lifty passengers, under the flint 'nate. None of the rescued saw her till she was _floating bottom upward. The captain now or dered the sccondmate to lower a boat, already nearly filled with female Cabin passengers, among whom was Mrs. Gen. Wright. The beat 'was lowered, but before the seamen had time to man her the steamer careened and upset her, throwing all on board into the water. The mate (Mr. Campbell) drew up such of the ladies as lie could reach from the steamer's chains, where he held on. "it was now fifteen minutes since the colli sion, and the steamer was fast breaking M pieces. The third mate, Mr. Patterson, who was asleep when the crash came, now lowered his small boat and hurried on board five 'women and three children, who were nearest at hand. Ten of the crew leaped after him, including two wheelmen, steerage steward, and two firemen. The load was large for tile boat, and she dipped incessantly, but the strong arm and coolness of the mate brought her twelve miles to Crescent harbor. Two guns were fired just after the boat left the steamer, and she disappeared under the lows some fifteen minutes lath. Captain De Wolf, General Wright, Mr. Lord (Wells, Fargo Co.'s messenger), and Mr. Nisbet were on deck when last seen by the rescued crew. There were two boats go deck when the third mate left, but, owing tb the terrible violence 43f the sea, it is not probable that either of them could have been launched. Thirty-three - bodies had been picked up, and more were coming ashore every day. Most of the bodies had been identified, among which were Nis bet, Parrish, Pollock, Dyer, and Perkins, and others I do not reeellect." Ms. Grinder, the Poisoner. 11:QUEST ON MRS. CARETILLES' BODTSHE ISSA , NS BY HER VICTIM TILL. DEATH—ANTIMONY AND ARSENIC SOUND IN THE REMAINS—VER DICT. EFrow the Pittsburg Commercial, Saturday.) - It is a somewhat significant circumstance in the histary of Mrs. Grinder's case, that since she has been confined to prison she does not trust herself alone in her cell at nights, and has requested that she have the company of another female prisoner.
