The Chicago Journal, of Monday, adds:
The scene attendant upon the iden tification
OF bodies d the Cemetery on Saturday night,
almost battles description. The steamtug Nc
Z ueen had been cruising all day in the yIcini-
~ OF Waukegau and the locality OF the wreck,
and recovered twenty bodies. These were con-
Neyed from the dock 10 the Cemetery, in seven
ex"ress wagons and slowly filed III past the
Dead House TO an adjoining strip of turt, where
lhrJ were laid in rows tor Identification. 1t
was already dark, and large bonfire had
been kindled In front OF the bodies, which
gIared upon the d -torted and disiigured corps
g, rendering them stiil more appalling.
Sixjy-fOur bOdIe. have been identified be-
longing 20 Milwaukee; nine 10 Chicago and
tea belonging elsewhele. Oue hundred and fit
ieen bodies have been brought 10 this city, and
fouT inquests have been held at EYansj jon.--
light bodies have been brought IN at Racine |
aud Two at keposha, W hiCh would give a sum
total Of one hundred and twenty-five bodies
recovered, as tar rs we have learned.
TIE LATE +. L. LuMspES.-The New Or
leans Delta thus speaks of Col. Lumsden, the
editor OF the Plcayune, who was lost in the
Lady Elgin:
lie was accompanied by his lady daughter
of that gallant veteran, Capt. Spedden whose
heroic bravery ia the Dattle OF the Rupbonts
In Is Il, has been the theme Of so much of the
eulogy Of historians. mrs. Il7msden was in
delicate health. Her only con, a fine yonth Of
lXleen, Was her constant companion. and hy
nl- fliai devotion and gen tlooess, won the ad-
IairaUou and love OF all who knew and Oh
served hi n. There was, toe, IN the family a
sweet and beautiful Ilttle faNen-
haired, biue-eyed girl ui Elk years, an adopted
Guild upon whom Col. IIumsden and his lady
iaYlshed all the affection OF the fonGest pa
rents. The beautiful scenery aud the rare
sport Of Mackinaw and Lake Superior, de-
serbed 10 him by the visitors 10 that region,
had excited his imagination, and, no doubt, in
ouced his acceptance OF The invitation 10 join
the excursion which has had SO sad and tragic
d conclusion. SO generous was the nature OF
Col. Lumsden, so true and sincere his regard
IJf the gentier sex, that we should have little
nope oi his escape III disaster where the
cialms aud weakness Of woman demanded
self sacrifice.
