shore from the impetus gained, 1t was several
minutes before her bow struck the bottom.
During this time many of the women who had
jumped overheard sank, and were all lost
Everything movable about the decks was
thrown out to the women IN the water, but
very few had presence of mind to avail them
selves of these aids. Most of
THE LIFE PREsEnvRRs
were in the gangway, and could not be reached
by reason of the smoke and flames. The wife
of Mr.. j. W. Reed, who was lost, was on the
bow deck, and could no doubr have been saved
but for her alarm and anxiety about her chill
dreB. 1t is believed that she jumped overheard
with them.
A YOUNG LADY BURNED TO DEATH.
Miss Cornelia Hobb, beautiful young lady,
residing on X, between 4th and 5th streets, was
under the protection ST Mr.. McGuigan, and he
went to her assistance; but before he could get
her to the side of the boat her clothing took fire,
and he was forced to leave her. She persisted
in the flames, and Mr.. Michigan swan ashore.
Doubtless numbers were drowned owing to their
frantic efforts to save themselves, as within a
few yards the water was shallow enough to wade
in, and the clerk of the boat, Mr.. Wheeler,
saved himself by wadng.
MISS BETTE REED,
the niece of Officer Reed, was a young lady
II years of age, and worked at Lansburg's. She
was on her way to pay a visit to her relatives
in Westmoreland county. She is spoken of as
most interesting and industrious young lady.
MRS. HESTER GRIFFIN,
"a daughter of Capt. Raglan, of South Washing
tOn,) now residing in Alexandria, was drowned,
as also her two children. Her body was brought
up, but the children are missing. The scene at
the identification of the remains by the mother
was one which brought tears to many eyes.
Mrs. Taylor, a widow lady, with her child
with small valise, jumped overheard, and was
seen to reach shore, swimming and floating al
ternately. The other child is believed to have
been lost.
Miss Marbury, of Glymont, who is among the
lost, is connection of the Marburys, of George
town, and the unfortunate young lady had many
friends in that place who will mourn her sudden
demise.
AN AFFECTING FUNERAL,
The funeral of the members of Mr.. Joseph
W. Reeds family who were victims to the acct
dent of the steamer Wawaset that have been
recovered will take place at the Mount Vernon
Place church at O'Clock p. m. Sunday, the

Search for the Bodies.
Cart Gedney started down at o'clock this
morning, on the tug "Gedney," with graphing
irons and all the necessary means to drag for
the bodies, and will send up those which he is
fortunate enough to find on every passing
steamer bound up. His intention was to return
with the tug about 4 O'Clock to-day.

ming back towards the stern, screaming and
shouting, but most of the passengers were cool,
as also the deck hands. At this time the hose
had been put in service, and they did the bes..
they could, and the nre extinguisher was also
turned on, but the flames were too fast, and
buckets were then taken, some Of the passen-
gers working as well as the crew with the crew.
The boats head was headed to the shore as
soon as the alarm was sounded, and she was
making her way rapidly in; the flames in the
meantime enveloping the whole after part of
the vessel. She ran in to within $50 yards Of
the shore, and manv passengers jumped over
from the bow and waded ashore, but by this
time numbers had jumped overheard
from towards the ttern OF the boat,
where the water was deeper, (about 9 feet
at the stern,) and were drowned. 1 can vouch
that the captain and crew, As we'll ~ the pas
sengers, were perfectly sober, and have never
seen men work better, but the fire spread yery
quick and spread rapidly. Wood and most OF
the crew remained on board until 1t was inn
possible for them to remain longer. I got 70
shore after II O'Clock, and when I jumped

me seuseless, but boat picked me up and 1

At II O'Clock there were two bodies Of the
women and three of the children laying at the
wharf One Of the former was recognized rs
that of Patsy Sands, but the other one is un-
known. Capt. Wood called to see II he could
identify it, and thinks she belongs to the neigh
borhood Of Smiths landing, but does not know
her name. All the children have been identi-
fed exceFt one. The appearance Of the bodies
has changed very much since morning, being
nearly black in the face, with evident signs Of
modification. The body Of the woman unidenti-
fed is dressed in q dark striped muslin dress,

Heedlessness Of the Passengers.
The excitement which existed can be judged
from the fact that the boat had nearly five hum
dred life preservers aboard, and only two were
used-one placed by Mr.. Emerson upon a
small child (his dsughter), and one which
he used himself. They were both saved.
Mr.. Emerson felt 20 grateful for his preserva-
ton by its means that he took IL with him to
Alexandria, and said TO several friends who
congratulated him upon his lucky escape, that
he would keep IL as long as he lived.
Tha last colored child he supposed to have
heen Identified. An old colored lady called at
tvo O'Clock and said, STORE God, Il lie Aunt Bet
sy,s child.v She immediately made OF, no one
knew whittier. She said il belonged to Aunt
Betsy, in UniontoEn, and must have made
haste to inform her.
no BLAMI ATTACHED TO TIE oYY1cIEs OF
THE BOAT.
From the statements Of those on board the
boat, IL seems that the officers stood firmly by
their parts and did everything In their power
to save lives and allay excitement. On all
sides their conduct has been commended, and
no blame for the disaster seems to attach itself
TO any Of them.

Napoleon Nv.

It sounds somewhat strange te
American ears to hear the son o1
ex-Emperor Louis Napoleon, who
died unpossessed of a throne or
people to rule over, all exile on a
foreign shore, spoken ofas Napoleon
~. This we presume may be re
garled as consistent with the theory
of the existence Of the kingly office,
1t is claimed that the Office never
dies. The royal occupant may be
displaced from the tlronein person;
may be banished and die, as IN the
caseof Napoleon III; but the office
never sickeiIs, never dies, never
dinhlishes. The imperial mantle
rests at once 81, the next in success
sion Of the royal line. 50, by this
theory, if Napoleon I'll was the
rightfal monarch, so, too, is Napol-
con ". But we Americans do not
accept any such refined nonsense.
With us the divine right is in the
people. If Kings are noble, 50 are
we. We all belong to the Loble
house Of Liberty, and our SONS and
daughters are prince and princess
royal Of the blood.

Another Indian War Aprrehcndei.
A State telegram from Corvalli

4 State telegram from Corvallis
on the 14th inst, states that In
dams had burned Edward Sawtell's
house on Yaquina BAY the Satur-
day night before, aid that the set
tiers had fortified in anticipation Of
an attack. The information came
by Mr. d. Carlisle, who was OH his
way to the Governor with petit
ton tor assistance ''he BWletia
has information which leads it to
the belief that tie burning ot ttaw-
tell'S house was simply an act of
private revenge, and does not sig
nifty 4 general outbreak. 1t has
bee iptimatcd, however, since the
Wodoc trouble began, that 2 gen
eral outbreak among the Indians Of
the coast was intended. This, to-
gether with the fact that the Siletz
Indians have been for sometime err
gagged in dances which their proph-
cts have made them believe would
restore to life again the bodies of
deceased warriors, who would lead
them to victory against the whites,
would render the present apprehen-
ded outbreak both rational and
plausible. 1t is perfectly natural
that the settlers should he excited
under the circumstances, and it
would he nothing more than all eX-
ercise of common prudence for the
Governor to take precautionary
measures.
