about the cabin, and not yet recovered from
their first alarm, another terrible shock shook
the whole boat, and the forward cabin was in
stantly filled with steam. Numbers inhaled it,
and Tell dying upon the floor. Other passen-
gers, among whom were several ladies. rushed
TO the stern. Other horrors were added by
fire communicated from the furnace breaking
out in the state-rooms through the floor above
the boilers. After long and earnest exertions
the fire was conquered.
All unite in giving praise to Capt. Hussel-
man Tor his bravery and Judgment.
The cause of the explosion has not been as

Jacob Marsh was brought up on COM
plant charging him with larceny. Itappeared
that he went into Atwood's Oyster Saloon, and,
after partaking of the excellent bivalves to be
found there, pocketed the silver fork. His
guilt was conclusive, the fork being found up
on him. Judge Lane ordered him to fork. over
one dollar and costs of prosecution, the whole
amounting to s3,26.-rather dear for one mess
of oysters.

ing committed an assault and battery on Mrs
Eliza Merrill. The parties reside in Scarboro

WASHINGTON, Nov. Z.
The agent of the Associated Press INQUIRED
at the State Department to-day about the cur
rent statements of Mr.. Seward having been
consulted by Mr.. Buchanan in the closing
period OF his administration also about the
startling hostile announcements having been
made by Nj. MERCER 10 the Secretary OF State
and about the protracted, adjourned sand
anxious meetings of the cabinet, involving
serious military and cabinet changes. The
secretary simply replied to the inquiry that the
alleged consultations between himself aud Mr.
Buchanan were imaginary; the reported pro-
positions OF Nj. MERCER were apochryphal, and
the alleged cabinet meetings fabulous.
Brig. Gen. Martindale has been formally re-
stored to duty, after suspension of about one
month, it being the opinion OF the court of in
quiry which investigated the charge preferred
by Maj. Gen. Porter againt him, that the ac-
cusation is disproyed, aud that the interests of
the service do not require the further investi-
CATION OF die subject.
Frequent cases OF executive eemency have
recently become known; among them is that
OF private, whose sentence for the crimes OF
burglary, larceny and robbery is promulgated
in general orders from the headquarters of the
department OF Missouri. In consideration of
the youth of the prisoner, of the fact that he
has been a brave though misguided soldier in
the defence of his country, and OF his enleebled
condition, the result of the confinement to
which he has been subjected, the President
has RENTED the remainder of his term of inn
prisonment on condition that the goods stolen,
or their money value, be restored to the owner.
Col. Garesche, well known in connection
with the Adjutant Generals office, has left
Washington to join Maj. Gen. Rosecrans, as
his chief of siail.

Missouri Election.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. I.
Blairs majority in the LIST Congressional
district, leaving ont the soldiers vote, is 457.
Returns from the army will probably increase
il TO 1000.
Information from the 9Th district represents
the vote between Gen. Price and McClung as
close, with the chances in favor of the latter.
Gen. Loan, a Union emancipationist, is un-
doubleday elected in the It'll district.
VIM A. Hall is elected in the Sth district by
some 400 majority.
j. ;. Rollins is elected from the 9th district
by small majority.
Returns from the State are yet meagre, but
1t Is safe TO assume that majority of MEM
beers elect of the legislature are for emancipa-
ton.

MODEL VEsTRY.-The vestry of the

and it will be occupied for religious services
tomorrow. 1t is, without exception, the neat

1t will accommodate about 500 persons seated,
Is handsomely carpeted, lighted with eight gas
branches containing "a burners, and furnished
with handsome black walnut desk covered
with crimson damask. In the recess, back of
the desk, is the book case and church library.
On the right side of the recess, in raised shield
is the inscription: "And the children cried
saying-Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed
is He that cometh in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest" On the left side
Sand Jesus said, Suffer the little children to
come unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the kingdom of Heaven" On the wall
at the right of the desk is the inscription
"Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away
the sin of the World On the left wall
whoever shall call on the name of the Lord
shall be saved" On the side and end walls of
the room are these Inscriptions in raised
shields-"Come unto me all We that labour and
are heavy laden, and will give you rest
"Peace on Earth and good will toward men,"

The Sabbath School will meet in the vestry
at nine o'clock tomorrow morning There
will be religious services at 10 ~ A. NJ, 9 1-2
and p. NJ, by Rev. Henry d. Moore. The
services will be appropriate to the occasion of
re-occupying the house which was burned last
winter, and the rebuilding of which has been
pushed forward with SO much rapidity.
The frescoeing of the walls of the church,
above the vestry is going on, and everything
is in such state of forwardness, that it will
probably be occupied on the first of January.
An organ has been contracted for, to be built
by Hall of New York. 1t will be similar in
style to the old one but of more power. The
wood work Of the pews is all ready and the
contractor is ready to put them up just as soon
as the painters will allow him to proceed with
his work. The chime of bells has been dis
posed of with the exception of the large bell,
whose noble sound will call the congregation
to the House of Worship.
The rebuilding of this church has been done
under the superintendent and direction of
one man, Mr.. V. G. Hanson, who purchased
the ruins of the old edifce for the benefit of
those who intend to worship there. The name
has been changed to the Central Church
which we think wise in more than one respect.
We wish the new Society prosperity in their
undertaking. Certain it is that they start un-
der most favorable prospects.

SILVER CHANGE.-If our dealers and shop
keepers would adopt the rule now universal
among the traders of Boston, we think it would
soon make change plenty-to w.t. take and
pay out American coin at the following rates
five cent piece for six cents, ten cents for
twelve and half twenty-five cents for thirty
and fifty cents for sixty cents.
II the leading business men we're to sign a
paper to thiz effect it would bring out the coin
now withheld by many; this plan, with the in
creasing supply of postage currency will soon
make change plenty again.
