BY A. M. all was still except the dead cracking
of the fire. Not a solitary individual could be-
seen or hea I'd on the wild wastes OF water. A
line then made fast TO the remains of the
Eric srudder, and an effort made to tow the hap

Origin Of the fire Among the passengers on
board were six painters in the employ Of Mr. w G.
Miller ofthis city, who going to Erie to paint
the steamboat .MadiSon They had with them

them. They replaced, and by whom is not
known. Immediately previous TO the bursting forth
of the flames, several on board have assured us,
| slight explosion heard. The demohns had
probably burst with the heat, and theii infammable
contents taking fire instantly, communicated to
every part Of the boat, which having been freshly
vanished, caught as if it had been gunpowder.
Not paper article ofany kind was saved.
Of course it is impossible to give complete list of
those board. Ofcabin passengers, Capt. Titus
thinks there between 80 and 40, of whom 10
or IL were ladies. In the Storage about 40
passengers, nearly all of whom were Swiss and
German immigrants. They mostly in fam.
lies with the usual proportion of men, women and
children The heart bleds at the thought.
| 1t is singular coincidence that the Erie was
burned at almost idepticay the spot where
the Washington burned in june, 1888. Capt.
Brown, who commanded the Washington at that
time, happened TO be on board the Ciiuton, and
was very active in saving the survivors of A
! Erie.
| The loss of property by the Erie was heavy. She
had on board the first large invoice OF merchandise
shipped for the upper lakes this season; 20
tons worth at least $4,000. The immigrants had
also large amount ofspecie, not far from $780,
600, and the boat herself must have all of
$75, 0O0 making in all little short Of $500 900

The land bill was then resumed, and amend

the prices of the public lands, discussed and re

all after the eDactng clause, and inserting pro-
vision that the proceeds Of these lands and
bove what shall be required for the expenses ofthe
Government, shall be appropriated to Qualifications
and the general defence oil the country. Before
ectjng this the Senate went into executive session
