Closing of the Railroad Celebration at
St. Louis.

Our telegaphic dispatches informed the
readers fthe Tribune on Friday morning of
the arrival Of the eXcourtionists at Vencen-
mes, lndianna, from the East, Thursday
morning.
About IL O'Clock Thursday night, the two
trains with some 1900 passengers reached
she east shore of the Mississippi, where
they were welcomed by Mayor Winner, of
st. L. uis. Four large steamers were in
readiness to receive the guests, a supper was
partaken of, and the whole party slept COM
iortably upon the steamers, which proved
more pleasant than would be the best hotel
accommodations. Friday merning the guests
enjoyed steamboat ride of few miles up
and down the river in front of the city, and
at 10 O'Clock landed amid the firing Of can
non on the levee, and Immediately were ia
Ken into procession of some 65 carriages
AMI SO omnibusseS, and were escorted by the
different military and civic associations, to
the Fair Ground in the suburbs of the city.
The housus of the streets through which the
procession passen y ere covered with citizens
and hung with flags and banners and other
decorations. fl
Arrived at the grounds about IL O'Clock
several hundred feet Of tables were covered
with most bountiful dinner--everythinc
eatable and drinkable that could be desired.
Previous to partaking of these bounties, an
interesting and eloquent, but rather lengthy
and untimely address, was delived by Hon
Edward Bates, of St. Louis. Tho spacious
ampitheatre of the Fair Grounds afforded
ample room to seat the thousands of guests
and citizens comfortably. The press of the
country was largely represented among
them were editors and reporters from New
York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Gin
CT natl, Nashville, Chicago, Milwaukee, and
other cities.
After dinner, number of toasts were
read, and responded to happily by the rep
resentatives of the various cities and States
toasted. Songs were sung in fine style By
the German Singers Association, and evolu-
ti"ns performed by the malitary, fire and
gymnastc companies. The whole affair con-
cluded in most satisf ctory manner to all
concerned ; the railroad companies and the
cities along the line doing everything in
their power to entertain the guests in an ap-
propriate manner.-CHicago Tribune.

1t will of course be understood that the
Council District was to elect two and the
Representative District faar Delegates.
After mature deliberation and quite a
course of law study. the Board of Canvass
ers were unanimously of the opinion, that
the law which forced them to throw out of
the count the votes from Eden Prairie,
Island City and Maple Grove, required t EN-
also to apply the same principle to the ST.
Anthony return, as the same law determines
both cases. One course was legally clear
any other course obscure and doubtful
They could not count any votes as lntende /
Tor either Representatives or Council Dele
gates, which were n thus designaled Y, the
returns. They could not go legally behind
the returns of the intention Of the voters.-
They therefore determined that 81. II MUIR
ply and S. W. Putnam are entitled to GER
tifcates of election, as having received the
highest number of votes cast for Delegates
to the Constitutional Convention from the
Council District; and that d. A. Secombe,
D. NJ. Hall, L. C. Walker and P. Winel are
entitled to certificates of election as having
received the highest number of votes for
Delegates to the said Convention from the
Representative District" Accordingly such
certificates have been issued and delivered.

Burning of the Steamer Montreal
Three Hundred Lives Lost,

QUEBEC, June 27.--The steamer Mon
treal was burnt near Caronga, about II
miles above this city, last night.
There we're about 500 passengers on
board, mainly Scotch emigrants, of whom
only lis to 200 were saved by the steam
er Napoleon.
1t is believed that many swan ashore
and were saved in other ways, but it is
certain that as many as two hundred
persisted in the flames or were drowned
Mr.. Philips, Of Three Rivers, is among
the dead. The captanof the Montreal,
j. G. Rudolph, and the crew are among
the saved.
The reporters have just returned from
the steamer Napoleon, which has arrived
with the saved. They are assured by
those who were on board that the num-
Der of the lost viii fully reach three hun
dred and fifty.
The following further particulars re-
lative to the burning of the steamer Mon
treal have been obtained:
The Montreal left here at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon for Montreal, with
four or five hundred passengers, mostly
Scotch emigrants, recently arrived from
Europe. Nothing unusual occurred until
the steamer reached Cape Range, twelve
or fifteen miles above Quebec, when the
woodwork near the furnaces was discov-
cred to be on fire. Quickly after the
flames broke forth, causing the utmost
CONSERVATION among the passengers.
Every possible effort was made to APP
pease the flames, but to no purpose.
Captain Rudolph, finding it impossible
to save the steamer, ordered her to be run
toward the shore. The officers and crew
Of the Montreal cxerted themselves at
the same time to get out the lifeboats.
The flames spread with the most as
tonishing rapidity, and the widest con-
fusion and despair prevailed throughout
the ship. A number of the passengers
threw themselves overheard and were
drowned.
Fortunately, the steamer Napoleon,
also for Montreal. was but few miles in
advance of the burning boat and put
back, with all possible expedition, to her
assistance.
The Napoleon succeeded in rcscuing
from the burning wreck hundred and
twenty-seven passengers.
Capt. Rudolph and the purser of the
Montreal were amongst those who threw
themselves into the river. Both being
excellent swimmers they succeeded in rea-
ching the steamer Alliance and were
saved.
1t is quite possible that some of the
others succeeded in saving themselves by
swimming, but as the steamer became I'M
manageable when considerable distance
from land, no doubt the most Of those who
threw themselves from the burning boat
met a wa:ery grave.
Sixteen of those who were saved died
shortly after reaching the deck of the
Napoleon.
From present information it is believed
that the total loss Of life by this terrible
disaster will not fall far short of three
or four hundred persons. The steamer
Alliance arrived here this afternoon with
forty-fve Of the dead bodies We have
not been able TO learn the names Of any
of these lost, except that ofDIr Philips.
Of the extensive lumber firm Of Norcross
& Philips, of Three Rivers.
The Montreal had on board two hun
bred and ffty-eight Scotch emigrants,
several German families and several
American passengers.
