SUNDAY NIGHTS DISPATCHES

- GsUNDAY NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
NEW York, April 6.-Three hundred
and five survivors of the Atlantic arrived
here this morning by the steamer New
port. 1t being generally known they were
coming, as early as 4 o'clock the anxious
gathered around the pier and the widest
excitement prevailed. As soon as the New
port neared the dock the pier was closed
and none but the employees and members
of the press were admitted inside the gates,
meanwhile the commissioners of immigra-
ton had the tug Thomas Fletcher
chartered, and to avoid large crowds out
side the pier, ran Der up close to Newport
and took the unfortunate passengers on
| board and steamed down to Castle Garden,
where the scene battles description. Thou
sands of men, women and children of al
most every nation were gathered together,
and it was with the greatest difficulty they
could be kept from forcing their way
through the gates. The poor. fellows
looked starved, wretched and miserably
clad and seemed to be very much disheart-
were registered as usual, after which
friends who were waiting in the informa-
ton room sent in the names Of those
whom they sought. AS wife and chill
dren, sister or brother recognized one of
the unfortunate men whom they deemed
lost, the scene was touching. Men gave
way entirely and the women either
swooned or screamed for joy Even out
side the gates men and women who were
gathered in groups sobbed and cried Bit
terly.
After short time breakfast was laid
consisting of coffee, boiled eggs, tongue,
ham, white bread, butter and boiled beef,
of which the starving men partook plenti-
fully. During the day they seemed to be-
come more reconciled to their fate At 3 P.
NJ, dinner was served of soup, roast beef,
corned beef, potatoes, bread, pie and cake.
About one hundred of the passengers will
and the remainder will leave in a few days.
The majority of the men speak disparag-
ingly of the captain and crew, and COM
plain that after being two or three days at
sea their food was cut short. e 4 q 20 q
BURLINGTON, Iowa, "A ril 6.AThe most
terrible rain, hail and wind storm ever
known before came up at a minutes notice
this afternoon, creating q fearful havoc
and causing alOsS of life. The storm struck
the city on the west hill, tearing the roof
from one of the school houses and descend
ing through the business part of the city.
Buildings were unroofed and great deal
of damage done. The most horrible part of
the catastrophe was the destruction of Il. n.
Pondes' butter and egg depot on Jefferson
street and the death of seven persons. The
house blown down and twenty-five per-
sons buried beneath the ruins. Mr.. Pom
de and three others were taken out dead
and nineteen others were rescued, more or
less injured. .T-H vE

HOUSE BURNED.
fire in the Eleventh, District.

We regret to state that the dwelling
house and kitchen of j. w. Vents, Esq,
who resides in the 18th civil district of
this county, about or miles from this
city was consumed by fire on Saturday
night last. -
Mr.. Vents and his son were absent at
the time attending debating society at
COurtney's school house and the home
which he left few hours before intact, on
his return was but mass of ruins.
The fire was the result of accident and is
thought to have caught from spark COM
municated to pile of chips on the hearth,
which were placed too close to the fire
place. His family consisted of twelve per-
sons, his wife, grandmother, eight daugh-
tiers and one son, beside himself, all of
whom escaped without injury except his
grandmother, who was severely burned on
her hands and feet.
The family escaped from the devouring
flames with nothing except their night
clothes, but by great eXertions saved four
feather beds. They took refuge in small
cabin near the burned house, formerly oc-
cupied by Mr.. Vents father, without any
furniture whatever, excepting the beds
mentioned.
Their Sunday morning meal was rather
scant, consisting of partially cooked bacon
rescued from the smouldering timbers of
the K iychen, and little meal kindly fur
nished by a neighbor, which was made
into lioecakes and baked Oh broken skill
let.
esquire Vents would have had to mourn
the loss of several members of his house,
hold, but for the presence of mind of a
little daughter, aged about ten years, who
fairly dragged out four of the younger
children and saved her fathers Magistrate
docket end one or two books .
His misfortune is deeply commiserated
by his friends and neighbors, some of
whom have shown their sympathy in
more substantial form than by mere words.

On Sunday morning, about o'clock, a
difficulty took place at Chattanooga i'll
front of the Burns House, between man
by the name of George Pease and another
by the name of Kelley, both employees of
that house, which resulted in Pease being
shot in the abdomen. From a gentleman
just from there, we gather the following
facts: Kelley is bar-keeber and Pease
drummer at the Burns House and it seems
from what he could gather that on Satur-
day they had a falling out, which they re-
newed on Sabbath morning, but by which
party the contest was brought about our
reporter was not informed, but he was told
that after some words were exchanged
Pease made an attack upon Kelley, knock
ing him down two or three times, when
Kelley drew pistol and shot the former
in the abdomen, but SO strong was his pas.
sion that Pease knocked Kelley down
again after he had been shot Our in
formant states that at last reports Pease was
in a critical condition, while Kelley was
pretty badly bruised up. 1t is considered
that Kelley did the shooting in self-de-

informant left was still at large.
