HALIFAX, July IA 4-The steamer NJ.
A. Starr arrived from Port LeBear yes
terday evening with the captain, officers
and crew of the City of Washington,
and one hundred and thirty steerage
passengers who had been left behind on
Thursday. The latter were immediate
ly transferred to the steamer Somerset,
and sailed for Boston. One Of the pas
sengers, an Irishwomen, was taken, in
labor, on board the Starr, when
she soon after gave birth to a
child shortly after being carried on
board of the Somerset. Captain Phil
lips, the officers and some of the crew
remained to give testimony at the Off
cial investigation. The remainder will
go to England in the HISTORIAN tO-mOr-
row. The official inquiry was COM
menced this morning. There is moth
ing new to report from the wreck. A
cabin passenger, Captain Hammond,
says there was thorough discipline, and
that a good watch was kept during
the entire voyage. There were always
two officers on the bridge and two men
on the lookout. He is of opinion that
the disaster was due altogether to the
deviation Of the compass, as the ships
course was correct. The statement of
Colonel Powell that there was lack Of
discipline, and cursing, swearing and
confusion at the time the ship struck,
and after the passengers landed, Captain
Hammond prOnOunces untrue.
Lizzie Lloyd King, alias Kate StOddard.
New YORK, July l4-Lizzie Lloyd
King, alias Kate Stoddard, the murder
ess of Charles Goodrich, slept soundly
in the Kings county jail last night. The
leading papers were furnished her at her
request to-day, and she read all that
they contained in reference to her case.
Some of the statements she remarked
were incorrect, but she did not particu-
larize them. For a time she appeared
in rather a melancholy mood, but sub
frightened up and appeared
very cheerful. She conversed sometime
with fanny Hyde, the murderer of Geo.
w. Watson, whom she considerably re-
sembles. They spent the greater part of
the time in each others company. The |
statement in Brooklyn over the case is |
unabated, and is the topic of conversa-
ton in every house and upon every cor
neT this forenoon. Miss Kings effectsd
with the exception ef a number of let
ters and articles OF the deceased, found |
in her possession, were sent to Jail. The |
watch, pOcket-book, rings, seals, etc.,
were handed over to the district-attor-
neY, and will be used as evidence on the
trial. The trial, however, will not take
place in three months, as it will be Sep
tember before the next grand jury will
be empanelled. Miss Palm, the affi-
inced of Goodrich, had long interview
with the murderess to-day. The detect
