! full speed. Private carriages and eX'
press wagons were also brought into
| requisition. An insurance patrol wag-
OH bore several loads of moaning hu-
man beings to the hospital. Some
died Oh the way, others were delirious
with pain. Que ambulance was filled
with children, whose eyes were closed
and their whole faces swelled beyond
recognition. Their little feet and legs
were cooked, and their tender muscles
laid bare. BY four o'clock over sew
enty wounded persons had been re-
ceived in the Centre Street Hospital
Five of them died within an hour
The scenes here are heart-rehding.
Twelve dead bodies were removed
from the boat, four have since been
found in the water, and five have died,
making so far as known, 2I persons
killed nearly outright. Many of those
in the water clung to the piles until
they were rescued, but others sank be-
fore aid could reach them. At least
thirty-fiVe persons must have been
killed or drowned. This is basing it
on the lowest estimate. The wounded
will reach one hundred. Many of
them were placed in carriages and

stores in the neighborhood were filled
with them. Among the injured
was sheriff Madden, of Brooklyn who
was driven to his residence. Over
$4,000 persons gathered at the battery
within an hour after the explosion
John Mager, pilot, was thrown from
the forward pilot house twenty feet in
the air, falling on the boat and escap-
ing without scratch. John FreeIand
was captain of the boat and Harry
Robint0n engineer-the latter is col
ored. The Indignation of the passen-
gers against him is stremendous, though |
his friends claim that lie is not to |
blame. The boiler was inspected by |
John III. Mathews, U. S. boiler in
spector, on the 18th of June, and pro-
nOunced safe.

The character of a community de-
pends much on the young women
If the latter are cultivated, intelligent,
accomplished, the young men feel the
requirement that they themselves
should be upright, gentlemanly Tefin-
ed: but if their female friends are friv-
oIus and silly, the young men will be
found to be dissipated and worthless.
A sister is the best guardian of q broth

tered in his sons, but affection Is eX-
pended on his daughters. She should
therefore be the sun and center of all.
