The Loss OF THE NARUSA.-The loss of
the steamer Naruna has created in the
Southern states painful excitement, only
surpassed by that caused by the recent
dreadful disaster in the Capitol 1T Rich
mond. In Texas particularly the calamity
comes home with force. Most Of the vic
tins by the accident We're residents of that
state. he Galveston papers, which come
to Us in mourning, contain elaborate bio
graphical accounts Of mIny leading citizens
OF that place who were lost on the Ill-ated
vessel. In 1896 the Nautilus was lost, aud
by tuat disaster Galveston suffered greatly !;
hut the Naruna counted in its fatal passcn-
ger list greater number OF prominent busi-
ness men.
Many incidents are related. One gentle
man OF Galveston has lost his wife and four
children another was Il nephew OF Hos
Suth another WAS returning home after
trip TO Europe for lis health another had
been In New York TO procure the dccora-
tionS Of i new church III which ne was in
terested. Indeed, it is worthy Of note that
almost all Of those lost were prominent not
only III their business relations and in the
commercial improvements Of the city OF
Galveston and the state generally, but were
also leading men in the Methodist, the EpiS-
copal, and Roman Catholic Churches.
Immediately on the receipt OF the news q
meeting of citizens was called in the hall Of
the Chamber OF Commerce to take mea-
sures for the observance OF 4 day Of mourn
ing. \ general religious service was decided
upon, and all places OF business in the city
agreed to close on the day selected.

FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE
New BRIDGE, AT ST. CHARLEs.-St. Louis,
Nov. 13.-An appalling accident occurred
at st. Charles, Missouri, yesterday after
noon, at the new bridge now in course of
construction across the Missouri river. The
part of the bridge where it occurred is be-
tween the first and second piers. There
were on this position sixteen men at the
time Of the accident. Near this pier, three
hundred feet from the st. Charles bank Of
the river, an engine and steam derrick were
being used to hoist the first cord of span,
an iron casting of five tons weight. This
had been elevated to such height that it
was almost ready to be placed in the desira-
BILE spot, when the wire rope of the derrick
sustaining it snapped with the great weight,
and the ponderous iron mass fell on the false
works beneath, and about one hundred feet
Of the structure gave way, amid the shrieks
of the unhappy victims. The engineer and
fifteen men went down with the broken
mass of timbers. Liteless and mangled
bodies were soon seen floating III the river
beneath. The drowned and killed were ::
Captain C'Dell, Mr. Thompson toreman),
and james Farrin, of st. Louis Daniel L.
Carr, of Cleveland, and two others. The
rest are reported to have been saved. The
distance from the top of the works to the
water Was about eighty or ninety feet.

A SCENE IN Court AT WHEELING.-It has
already been stated that ut Wheeling, ".
Va, the trial of Matte Batham, for the
murder of j. McNash, resulted in a verdict
of not guilty. About year since Miss Ba-
than, having been betrayed by McNash,
visited his boarding-house, and, on his re-
fusal to marry her, deliberately shot him
dead. The Wheeling Register thus de-
scribes the scene that occurred on the rem
dition OF the verdict:
"The argument closed and the case was
submitted to the jury about II O'Clock, and
they retired. In just twenty minutes they
returned; and when the foreman, j: B..
Hughes, announced the verdict Of +. Not
guilty. the old courthouse rang with the
huzzas of the multitude. Men threw up
their hats and shouted, and the ladies waved
their handkerchiefs and clapped their
hands, while the prisoner and her friends
shed tears Of JOY at her aeqnittal. Inc
fudge discharged Miss Batham from arrest,
and she was followed out Of the courthouse
by the immense throng."

est attendance July 10th, l45.

The attendance during the quarter COM
mencng 1st July and ending 1st October
was the smallest during the year, owing to
the fact that so many Of the scholars leave
the city to spend their time in the country
during these months. The Secretary stated
that since the 1t of October the attendance
had greatly improved, and he was confident
that his next report would show consid-
cradle increase.
The reading of the Secretary's report was
followed by several recitations and the sing
ing OF appropriate pieces by some of the
young scholars. The most prominent in
this connection were the pieces recitcd by
Masters Lawson Dearborn, Eddie Hankins,
and Eugene Dearborn, and song by 4
small orphan boy though the other recita-
tiOns were very crcditabe.
I !FssRsnassss bearing upon the great import
anCcorsGhe Sunday-School work were made
by George w. Morling, of Baltimore, and
ERler A. B. Wathall. Other speakers were
present, but owing to the latencss of the
hour the Superintendent announced that
he would have to close the exercises. After
benediction the audience was dismissed.

DREDGING RIyERs.-A writer in the Louis
vile Courier says:
The removal of a bar, in order to improve
navigation by dredging, is but temporary
relief. For il we assume that the river shall
continue to how the same quantity OF water,
bearing the same character of drift, and
that the bar next above shall suffer no ma
terial change of shape, a new bar will
gradually he formed in the exact spot OF
the old one, and of the same shape and
character. How long it would take to form
a new bar Of the dimensions OF the old one
cannot be told unless we knew how long
that was in forming, or unless we knew the
rate of annual growth.
