/ STEAMBOAT BURNT.- Whitehall, N. Y, July
80. The steamer John Jay was burnt yesterday
on Lake George, near Garfield. Several Of the
passengers and crew persisted.
Five bodies have been recovered and recog
nized as those of Mrs. Belkuap of New York
Miss Renshaw, New Orleans; MFR. Metcalf,
Cherry Valley Mrs. Thwing, Boston c. A.
Fleet, Brooklyn
1t is supposed there is another body under the
wreck. The boat is burned to the waters
edge. The fire is said to have been occas oned
by the choking of the smoke-pipe, which drove
the flames into the fre-room, and setting the
boat almost instantly on fire. Much blame is
attached to the captain, who instead of run
ming the boat on the sandy shore, where all
might be saved, kept her off in hopes to save
her lie was finally compelled to run her on
the rocks
Later. Miss Sherman of Albany was lost
on the John Jay. This makes six lost as far
as known.
Gen. Tom Thumbs box of jewels and presents
has been stolen 1t was valued at SIC, 900.
