WRECKERS ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
Fighting for PIunder-scenes About the
Wreck of the Steamer mcGili-ThefI and


ftunuor-SCcueB ABOUT the
Wreck of the steamer mcGiIi-ThefG and
Brutality.
The Memphis Aoatanche of January 90 says-
The 4. L. McGill disaster which occurred
week ago last night, is fresh in the minds of our
readers. Charles Foster the mate of the
McGill, with six of the deck hands remained
with the freight to protect and guard it until
the underwater agents could reach the place.
The remainder of the McGills crew came to the
city some days ago, and passed on to their
several homes. Last Monday and Tuesday skiffs
propelled by negroes and white men made their
appearance about the wreck, and began to carry
Oft everything and anything that could be got
out. Like hungry vultures hunting carrion,
they hourly increased in number, until thirty or
forty were at work pillaging, stealing, and ran-
sacking from among the debris of the smoking
hulk.
At the same time crowds of vicious-looking
persons, black and white, gathered around the
uninjured freight pile on the shore, aud the
men in charge of 1t began to imagine they were
after no good; in fact, they grew somewhat un-
easy in their minds concerning their own
safety. Their alarm was increased at night
fall, for then hideous faces could be seen peep
ing at intervals from behind fence corners and
bushes in the vicinity. Toward midnight they
were startled by rifle shot, the ball of which
whistled in close proximity to their ears.
Every mothers son of them darted behind au
oat pile. just in time to save themselves from
hail-a-dozen shots, which followed the first in
quick succession. Noices-strange, sepulchral
vOices-next yelled to the guardsmen, 'Take
the river! take the river!" But the boatmen
fired at The rascsls, held them at bay, and built
baTricades of oats and corn piles and pork
barrels.
Next day Mr.. 8. F. Belcher, the Sheriff of
Tunica county, was sent to for assistance A
deputy and six men went to reinforce the
guard Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
nights the robbers gathered in increased num-
beTs, and kept up desultory firing like skir-
mishing in the front of an army. In one of these
attacks the horse of the sherif's deputy re-
ceiyed bullet, but no other harm was done,
except that the oat and corn-bag barricades
were well perforated by bullet-holes. The sheriff
and mate, with their forces, fired numerous
vOlleys at the scoundrels, some of which, It is
thought, struck the thieves. At al events they

SAD DEATH.
An Old Man In Meeting His Daughter Falls
Dead at her feeI.


Dead at her feet.
Yesterday George McClees, apparently sixty
five or seventy years OF age, came from his
home at Waynesburg, Chester county, to meet
his daughter in Wilmington and escort her to
his home.
The lady lives at Princess Anne, Nd, and
arrived at the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad by the Delaware train at
about o'clock, accompanied by her two chill
dren She sat down IN the wating-room, and
shortly after Mr. McClees came in and joyfully
greeted them. The words of greeting were
scarcely spoken when he suddenly tottered, and
then sunk down to the floor, and, without a
struggle almost instantly died.
The scene as he lay Ithere, the daughter
stricken with grief and terror, bending over him,
and the little children sobbing as if their hearts
would break, was indescribably sad, and
awakened the profoundest sympathy of all who
witnessed it.
Dr. Askew was called in and pronounced the
case one of enlargement of the heart, and the
Coroner's jury rendered a verdict in accordance
with the facts.

five Wen Crushed 10 the Ruins.
The Cincinnati Times of Thursday evening
says:-
About half-past 10 o'clock this forenoon those
who happened to be In the neighborhood of the
corner of John and Water streets were startled
at hearing a sharp, cracking noise as of break
ing immense tmbers. This was succeeded by
sweeping crash as of the falling of some large
body carrying everything before it; and finally
q dull, heavy sound the body reached the
earth this last being mingled with the piercing
screams of human .beings who had been thus
caught as it were, in dead-fall and were en-
during intense agony.
Instantly all eyes were turned toward the
portable engine mandatory of Lane IL Bodey,
on the southeast corner of Water ~ John streets,
and almost Immediately thereafter q frightened
emdoye of that establishment came running
out with the word that the roof of the boiler
shed had fallen in, killing the eight or ten un-
fortunate men who had beeu labOring under it,
In moment crowds of people were noticed
running TO the scene of the disaster, who, upon
their arrival, found that the employees of the
establishment had already formed line aud
were removing the debris under which their
unfortunate companions were wrlthng in
agony. As fast as they were reached they were
tendeTly taken mp and borne into the counting
room of the establishment where in a very short
time medical assistance was on hand, aud
everything that was possible was done towards
alleviating their sutferings.
THE VICTIMS.
At the time the accident took place, eight
men were at work in the ''shed, as il is called.
OF these, three escaped unhurt and the five re-
naming ones were all injured badly.
THE ROOF
of the shed was a large one-about sixty by
ninety feet-and had been constructed in 1866,
under the supervision Of one of our best archi-
tects. 1t was supposed To be strong enough TO
bear the heaviest weight OF snow that could pos
sibly fall In this latitude. 1t has often been
covered with much more snow than was lying
upon il this morning.
Messrs Lane & Bodley had been In the habit
of setting TASKS used in casting upon II, but on
this occasion there were fewer OF them
than usual The roof had been braeed with
iron rods, and the only solution that can be
given of the disaster is that one of them gave

Barnard, the underwater from st. Louis, reached

with buckshot, caused his intervlewers to keep
a respectful distance and maintain a civil bear

FiNANCE AND co mNI ERCE.
EVENING TELEGRAPH OFFICE }

Saturday, Jap. %. 1871,
The series of snow-storms during the past
week nave created many distractions TO travel
and traffic and hereby caused a temporary lull
in most departments of trade. Supplies OF
Western products and the manufactures of
States North and West have been greatly eX-
hausted. causing temporary advance in prices.
The Money Market has been more or less
affected by this arrangement ia business, and
there is perhaps less demand for money. But
the feature is only temporary and will give
place to somewhat violent reaction when the
impediments TO traffic referred to are removed.
Call loans are easy at 5l60D616 per cent, aud
first class discounts at 7@S per cent.
Gold is quiet and steady, ranging from 11019
@1lO5s, closing at the latter at noon.
Government bonds are less active, and the old
Issues show slight decline in prices from yes
terday's closing figures.
Stocks were active and steady. Sales of State
6s first series, at 1039I, and new City 6s at l0l.
Reading Railroad sold at 491 4@3 l6; Pennsyl-
vania at 621S; Camden and Am0Oy at ll6; Oil
Creek and allegheny at 461s; Philadelphia and
Erie at 279s@27S4; and Catawissa preferred at
3S14@S.
ln Canal shdres we notice sales of Lehigh at
349l, and Schuyllil preferred at l71s.
Manufacturers Bauk sold at 80.
Investors will do well to look to the per
cent. convertible mortgage bonds of the Cata-
wissa Railroad Company offered by Messrs. ID.
Third street. The small amount of Indebtedness
on this prominent and now tlourishing company
certainly gives to the holder of the bond great
guarantee of security. The convertible privi-
lege will likely in time be valuable, as the pre-
feTred stock is now quoted at S3S (par 500. On
this the company is paying regular per cent.
dividends. We predict speedy placing of this
loan.
