E1= TnE MILITARY CoIMIrTEE met

solved TO recommend TWO captains, who
shall recruit two companies. The said
captains are to be commissioned on condi-
ton that they submit their claims 10 the

meuded is w. B. Curtis, of West Liberty, a
leading citizen, of this county. The other
name was not decided upon last evening.
The Second Lieutenants who have been

their commissions must be confirmed by

GS@ Further PARTICULARS OF THE EN-
PLosIoN OF THE CoMMoDoRB PERRY,-We
have learned some additional particulars
in reference to the explosion of the steamer
Commodore Perry She collapsed fue,
Mt Louisville on Saturday evening and was
fired and burned to the waters edge. As
may be imagined, the explosion caused
great CONSERVATION on board, and it was
feared that considerable loss of life would
ensue. There were but few passengers
aboard, however, and but a single casualty
occurred. Robert White, citizen of Pitts
burg, who had shipped as fireman at Gin
cinnati, received such injuries that he died.
A number of the passengers jumped over
bonrd, but they reached the shore by their
own exertions or were rescued by those
who had congregated upon the landing.-
In this manner Mr.. Henry Kremer, aided by
Doctor Kerr, succeeded in saving lady
and her child, who had thrown themselves
into the water from the guards OF the boat.
The Com. Perry was commanded by Capt
J. n. Andrews, and was bound from the
Cumberland river to Cincinnati. She had
on board at the time of the accident 1888
bales of cotton for various parties in Gin
cinnati, 200 sacks wheat for j. A. London,
hogsheads bacon, IL hogsheads tobacco
for E. Taylor, Cincinnati, 20 hogsheads to-

II bags wool and 80 dry hides for r. A.
Holden & Co., Cincinnati, aud eleven sacks
of cotton for Springer & Whiteman. All
that portion of the cargo on deck was de-
stroyel by FIRE, but fully fifty per cent of
the freight, which was in the hold was saw
ed. The boat burned rapidly, and the
stern settled down in the water at the foot
of Sixth street.
The Perry was an old boat, aud valued
at nine thousand dollars. Her ownership
is uncertain, as she has changed hands
since she left Pittsburg. She is partially
insured in Pittsburg Offices, aud there was
some insurance upon her cargo in Louis
vile.
