burning of the sou,hwesie

The New Orleans Picayune, of the
18th, has the following particulars of
the burning Of the steamer Southwest
ern at ColfaX, last Sunday morning;
AS we went to press yesterday after
noon the news came that the South
western, which left here last Thursday
for Red river, took fire ut CollaX at 3
o'clock Sunday morning and was en-
tirely destroyed--boa and cargo PROV
ing II total loss. She had ut the time
of the accident a heavy freight list, also
many passengers, all Of whom, to-
gether with the officers and crew, es-
capedunhurt. In the little time afforded
for escape, hardly any baggage could
be saved so that Il number OF her pas
sengers failed to save their clothing.
The Gladiola, which brings the sad
intelligence, is advised that the fire
originated in the after part of the cabin,
and is supposed to have been the result
of accident. The officers of the South
western are expected down on the
Maria Louise. The boat is insured, but
for what amount is not asyet certainly
ascertained. She was one of the larg-
est carriers in the Red river trade, and
her loss at this time cannot fail to be
seriously felt both here and along her
old line of travel.
WHAT THE CAPTAIN SAYS.
From Captain Jacobs, who reached
town late last evening, we learned a
few additional particulars.
II spnms that tbn fra ung lispnyapn1
just as the boat had been tied up ut Col
fax. The boat lay with her stern down
stream, and stern wind almost a
gale-was blowing. Every effort to ar
rest the fire proved Intellectual, and in
two minutes it became evident that
there was no probability of saving any
thing at all. The passengers barely
had time to get ashore; no time TO
dress--none even to pick up such
things rs shoes, hats, etc. In very
few moments the boat was completely
enveloped in flames.
The fire originated at the extreme
rear of the boat--in the store room;
though as to what caused it, or in
what manner it began, there has not
been plausible theory. The captain
dutIlOTlHeS us W say lIeTe Is no tIuJIl Ill
the rumor that the ColfaX witnesses,
whom he was taking home, had any
thing to do with it. Such II rumor has
been circulated, but Captain Jacobs
says it has no foundation whatever.
1t is worthy of mention and of CRATE
full remembrance that the United
States officers stationed at ColfaX rem
dered most invaluable attentions to
the unfortunate passengers who were
thus bereft of everything-money bag
gage, food, and, in many instances,
the simplest articles of clothing.
Captain Jacobs speaks in terms of I'M
measured praise of the courtesy, deli
eacy, kindness and hospitality of all
the officers, and, IN repeating that
tribute, we are sure we express the
sentiments of all the passengers.
The Southwestern was insured for
$4,000. Her cargo was a large one
larger than any of the season-but par
ticulars cannot be given, rs the boats
books were lost, together with every
thing else.

A Martial Incident.

The annoyances which befelI couple
willing and anxious to be married in Chica.
90 on Wednesday evening last, and their
final happy release therefrom, are thus told
by the Journal of that city: "a middle
aSed gentleman and lady bad made arrange
ments to be united. Their plan was to visit
the residence of a clergyman, have the cere-
mony performed quietly, and then proceed
to one of the theatres 10 spend the remaln-
der of the evening. Their desire was to
procure the services Of Rev. DIR. RYDER, and
during the day the man made several at
tempts to find the doctor, but failed. So,
Just at night, thinking that one minis
ter could perform the services as lie.
gally Us another, he applied to Rev.
i,r. Sullivan, rector OF Trinity Episcopal
church, and got that gentleman to officiate.
It was arranged that the couple should visit
the rector's residence at Z O'Clock, when the
interesting ceremony should be performed.
Promptly at the hour appointed the candi-
dates, accompanied by lady friend, arrived
at the residence Of DR.. Sullivan, on Wabash
avenue, having ridden about three miles to
reach it. On entering the parlor they were
met by the reverend doctor wearing bis OIL
cial robe, and without delay the smiling
couple joined hands and the ceremony be-
gan. After having proceeded Tor sew

addressed. SIS your husband dead!' NO,

perly divorced from him. Il am sorry to
say, then,' replied the rector, that can

sternation of the half-united couple may,

described. In justice to DR.. Sullivan, AID
bv way of explaining this curious episode, 1t
should be here stated that the Episcopal
Convention for the diocese of Illinois, year
or two ago, passed resolution forbiddiDg
any clergyman of that denomination from
performing the marriage ceremony for a
party who had been divorced and whose
husband or wife was still living.
And that resolution was what played
the mischief with the ceremony ut
Dr. Sulliyan's house last night. Though
surprised and shocked by this unexpected
interruption Of the proceedings, the candi'
dates for Wedlock were not discouraged.
They were determined to accomplish the
mission ON which they had started at all

his command.
