LAKE DISASTERS.
Number Reported, l9l1-Estimnted Damage
10 PrOpcrLy, ~, 100, 900.

10 Property, 81, 100000.
The Milwaukee (Wis) Sentinel gives a statement OF
the marine disasters on the lakes, including the
damages to property, from December l5 1865 to the
close of navigation, December, 1SG9:-
The number Of vessels which met disaster is 1914
against 1854 last season-showing an increase of
800 In 1865 1903 vessels totally wrecked whose
measurement aggregated 26,44l tons. This season
the number totally lost is 126, with measurement OF
IS 1872 TONS which is certainly large increase.
Up to the 3lst Of October the amount OF damage
sustained by the shipping on the lakes was hardly
equal to the average of seasons and vessel owners
and underwriters congratulated themselves upon
their good fortune. But the storms of November
followed in quick succession, and, each even more
violent than the preceding one swept away all these
bright prospects, ana burdened both owners and
underwriters with heavy losses. The disasters re-
ported in November number 403, involving damage
to property OF upward OF S2,000,000.
These are probably the highest figures ever
reached in any one month since the navigation on
the lakes began The loss of life during the season
was considerably less than i'll 1865. The tables which
complete our summary valuable for future refe-
renee and should be preserved.
RECAPITULATIoE.
The following tables show the number OF disasters
reported in each month during the years 1865 and
1862 for the purpose OF comparison, with estimate
of the amount OF damage done to hus and car

TERRIBLE AFFAIR.
Jealousy, Murder, and Uasualty In Tennessee
One of the Most Singular Tragedies In the
Annals of the south.


Annals of the South.
From the Memphis Audldnche, Dec. IL.
We give below the history OF a horrible AFFAIR that
occurred AZ Hollow ROCK, Small town on tne NoItn-
nine miles from this place, as got It from gen.
teman who was at the place at the time OF the oc-
There lived in the town, strange as It may seem,
two men OF exactly the same name, yet not at all re-
lated to each other. Their names were William A.
Green, both men OF families, and both addicted to
the habit OF drinking. Wewill discriminate between
them by giving their names as they were known IN
this community, TO wt:-Sandy Bill and Marl-
borough Bill. 1t seems that there had been an I'LL
feeling existing between them for long time,
caused by the belief OF Sandy Bill that Marlborough
Bill had intruded upon his domestic relations and ut
terly destroyed his peace and happiness with MS WIFE,
WIN tnls oeei resting upon MS SOUL nc Was eyer ho
dshonored his family, II he could only be sure
OF his guilt on last Monday night, soon after dark,
and before Sandy Bill had left his residence to 60 to
his business house-he had business house in Hol-
low Marlborough Bill, in passing from his
residence to town, went 10y the residence of SANDY
Bill and called in Finding Sandy Bill at home, an
alteration commenced between them, which soon
terminated in Sandy Bill drawing his pocSet-Snife
erring thrust the blade entering his heart and Kill
ing him instantly. The screams of Mrs. Green soon
brought in several gentlemen OF the town, VINO,
asking what was the matter, was told by Sandy Bill
that he had stabbed Bill Green, but did not think he
had hurt him badly, and called upon him to get
up. Marlborough Bill was lying upon his face on
the loor; the persons present seeing that he re-
NAMED motionless went to him, and found that he
dead Immediately left the house, and getting horse
he rode some three or four miles to mans house
named Picker, and there remained the balance of
the night; leaving, however about daylight afoot
He was found dead at ten O'Clock in the day. at the
distance OF about two miles from Pckler's, with his
face in small branch-water about six inches Deep
1t is supposed that he had stopped down for the pur
pose OF getting drink, and was seized
there were marks OF violence on his person. Thus
he walked the earth a murderer only few short
hours until power stronger than man called him to
eternity. This is the most tragic and melancholy
termination Of domestic trouble that ever came
under our observation and we sincerely hope it may
be the last. The murdered man leaves wife and
several, children; the other only leaves his wife,
Although they had been married many years, they
were never blessed with children.

The steamship-owners finally became alarmed,
and conferred with the police authorities OF New
York, London, and Liverpool The result was that
plan OF operations was agreed upon by the heads
of the force OF these cities with view Of unearthing
the perpetrators
The superintendent OF Police OF New York set
forth the fact fully to the Board OF Police Commis
sioners Friday, and he obtained authority TO send
one OF his keenest detectives TO Europe at once Mr.
Kennedy detailed Detective James irving for that
duty and that gentleman left on Saturday at noon
on the steamship City OF Paris. 1t is likely that for
some weeks the messes OF the ocean steamships will
contain an English or American detective, who 1t is
TO be hoped will be enabled TO clear up the mystery
already reached 100000.

RIVER NEws.-The beautiful river
| after being on an unexampled high, il
now confined to the very narrow limits
of its bed. The low water stage now
rules and dullness prevails.
Reports from Pittsburgh say that there
is but three feet three inches there and
four feet at the glass house bar. Here
We find five feet six inches in the channel
and still falling. This stage of water
will compel the withdrawal of the
large class of packets and the substi-
tuition of light draught boats in their
stead.
The following boats-most of them
undergoing repairs-are laid up above
the Water Works in Cincinnati: Ameri-
ca, Glasgow, Maggie Hays, Wauaniti,
Armadillo, Alice Dean, Swallow,
Golden Eagle, Major Anderson, Robert
Moore, Emma Floyd, Allegheny Belle,
Rose Hambleton. The Anna, Coosa and
Wren are in the Licking, aud the Hava-
ma and West Wind at the Covington
| wharf.
Captains G.. Cole and T. w. Spencer
have another Government contract for
snagging in the Ohio river. Their
steamer Zeora is lying in the Kanawha
river, and will start out as soon as the
water is low enough.
The Ohio River Trareler says:
The manifest of the steamer Bes.
tona on Monday of last week was ten
feet long. On the same trip she took
down two hundred and seventy-five
passengers, seventy-thres of which were
from Maysville.
The Octavia found, a few days ago,
FIVE feet water from Omaha to st. Jo-
seph. On her way down, soundings
made in a yawl at Sonora bar showed
four feet three inches of water. The
Octavia set her scraper to work and in
short time made six foot channel.
This was above the town of Sonora.
Colonel J. n. Macomb, Superintendent
of Western River Improvements, is
aboard the boat. The De Russey, snag
boat, is still operating above st. Joseph.
The United States Local Inspectors of
Pittsburgh presented their quarterly re-

States Survey boat, making a total OF
30, having a total tonnage of SO34 tons;
We have issued licenses to 63 engineers,

steam boilers. We have ruled out OF
the passenger service the Gray Eagle,
because of her condition, and
uufi'ness as passenger steamer:
Repairs were ordered OH several
steamers, aud on a large number OF
boilers. We are pleased to say they
were attended to promptly. The boat
ing business, in the aggregate, has been
large. The number of new steamers
built and being constructed for the Mis-
souri,, Mississippi, Ohio, aud Southern
waters, has kept our builders quite busy
up to the present time. No accident Of
any consequence has happened to any
vessel in this district during the quar-
