SINGULAR PREsENTMENr-Wea are told that
Beck, chief Of police on the morning of the
late calamity and about the hour it IS SUD-
posed to have occurred, suddenly awoke from
his sleep with the strong impression on his
mind OF an impending calamity of some ma
ture. This impression he was unable to
shake off, He naturally thought if it meant
anything 1t was in connection with his duties
towards the city, and therefore supposed that
hre, burglary, murder, or something Of that
nature might have transpired or was trans
plring. He repaired to the police head-quar-
tiers, and found all right there, and successive
ly visited nearly every ward in the city with
the same result. After daylight he returned
to his room and bed with the same impression
still weighing on his mind, never once, how
ever, during the whole time connecting his
impression with the excursion or thinking of
It, About nine . clock he got up again, and
came down street, and soon after beard of the
terrible calamity.
We have heard of another case where n
lady whose husband was on board, and
among the lost dreamed about the time of
the accident, that an express came to her in
forming her of the death of her husband.
which, however, she refused to believe.
We have heard of still another case where
mother, when leaving, requested friend in
whose charge she left her children to give
them in charge to the Sisters of Mercy in case
she should never return. This request was
made playfully, as if the mother attached no
particular Importance to it, at the same time
she would not leave until she had exacted q
solemn promise to that effect.
Mrs. Boyd informs US that on the night of
the accident, she dreamed that Frank. her son
was struggling in the water, and that he
came home bruised and haggard, so as hard.
ly to be recognized subsequently veri-
fed
The wife of Capt. Barry dreamed that the
Elgin was wrecked, and saw her husband
sink In the waves
We suppose many more similar cases might
be cited.
From the Sentinel
We have the following from the lips
Of the parties well known in this city, and
whose characters are sufficient guaranty OF
its truthfuIness
The lady had retired on Friday night as
usual. Her husband came home at ten and
retired also. About two O'Clock the wife
woke the husband up in the midst of the
storm.
He found her sitting up in bed the picture
OF terror, but unable to give expression to
her feelings. The husband asked her earnestly
what was the matter, and she finally replied
that she did not tknow, but there 1ras something
dreadful happening.
be then rallied her and laughed at her ter
ror5, attributing them to the violence of the
storm.
But the same Unde6nable impression of
something dreadful clung to her. and they
finally got up-the husband supposing her
to besick-and they spent the rest Of the
night in their parlor.
In the morning they both came to the con-
clusion thatit was the effect of a nightmare
until the astounding intelligence of the catas-
trophe reached them. It something singu-
lar, too, that the family had no relatives or
near friends on the i'll fated vessel.

The funeral ceremonies for a number ofthe
lost by the wreck Of the Elgin took place in
Milwaukee on the lIth. Among the dead
for whom funeral obsequies were performed,
was 7. H. Eviston, Chief Engineer of the
Milwaukee Fire Department.
The occasion was one of great solemnity
and sorrow. By proclamation of the Mayor
it was observed as a day of fasting and
prayer, and all the public Offices, engine
houses, newspaper Offices, hotels, business
blocks, etc. were appropriately dressed in
mourning and closed. The Fire Department
took charge of the body of its dead Chief
and the military acted as an escort to the long
and sad procession.
A meeting has been held at the Milwaukee
Chamber of Commerce for the relief of the
sufferers by the disaster. The Chairman
stated that there were seventy or eighty
widows mourning the loss of husbands, and
that it had made three hundred to four hun
dred orphans Ex-Mayor Page said full one
thousand orphans. A Committee was ap-
pointed to decide upon some plan. The
Gage Brothers, of the fremont House, Chica-
go, sent $50 to the relief fund. The Sentinel
says;
The aspect of affairs in the Third Ward is
indeed heart-rending. There cannot be less
than two hundred orphans in this ward alone.

engulphed in the ruins. A gentleman who

informs us that he found one family of FIVE
Irish cAildren in this Ward, whose father
and mother were lost, and who were igno-
rant OF the calamity, nor did any one have
the heart to break the news to them.
One family went off on the excursion and
left an infant baby with a neighbor. They
were all lost and on Sunday the infant died.

.JurI.dIetiop Of Court. in Slave Ca..s.

JuFisdictiOn OF Courts In Slave Cases,
The Cincinnati papers Of Thursday report
q case of the rendition of a slave to his mas
ter from that city. In the Supreme Court
David Gibbs sued out writ of haBeas corpus
to try the question of freedom OF colored
boy named Henson, about twelve years of
age, and ALLEGED to be Illegally deprived of
his liberty. Lewis Bruce, in answer to the
writ, stated that he was the owner OF the
boy, and was taking him from Virginia, his
former residence, to Missouri; that the boat
on which he was travelling had stopped at
the Cincinnati landing and tied up to the
shore, against his wishes.
Mr.. JoIliffe argued the case for applicant,
claiming that the boy was found within our
jurisdiction, and as slavery could not exist in
| Ohio under her constitution and laws, he
must be declared free.
! Judge GhOlson announced the decisio n
! (the other members of the court, Judges Car
ter, Mallon, and Collins, concurring,) and
held that, although the jurisdiction of our
courts extended for many purposes to boats
/ al buC OAAO AlNGl1 buo sSitL1Cuo VI 'hBAAio.
I and other States bordering on the south had
right to the free navigation of the river /;
that the stopping of boats and tying up at
the landing was a necessary incidentto the
| right Of free navigation, and as such rested
on higher basis than the mere jurisdiction
| of the river.
In the course Of the decision it was re-
marked that, while we should carefully main
tain our own rights, yet the courts must also
see to it that the rights of our neighbOrs
were not infinged. The sheriff was directed
to return the boy to his owner on the boat.
