The Waco Dtsaster-.LegRI Proceed
ings Instituted Against tn,

NEW YORK, November IA special
from Troy, New York, says that Rev.
Peter Amelling, of the German Metho-
dist church, accompanied his daughter to
pier -. East river, at - o'clock on the
day the steamship Waco sailed, and re-
mained with her until Il quarter past
three. During the time he WAS there n
large number Of barrels of oil were taken
on board and slowed along the deck run
ming around the cabin. SO many of these
casks were Oh bourd that the whole spac"
fore and aft WAS occupied by them, and
he therefore had some difficulty in max
ing hi. way from the door of Miss Amell
lng's cabin to the gangway leading down
to the wharf; can safely assert that
more than forty casks were SO
placed. lie also noticed boxes, such as
contain tins of castor oil, piled on the
deck at the entrance ait, and saw Il
large box, which may have contained
matches or other iuiiammable matter.
He considered it somewhat singular
that persons slowing barrels of oil were
two of the cabin stewards and noticed
that the casks were heavy, requiring two
men to handle eacn o.. them. He noticed
on the countenaucc of the stewards and
chams sermaids an evidence of gloom and
sppreheI sion, and became so much i'm
prcssed with the idea that something un-
fortunate was about to happen that II he
could have accomplished 1t, after
takin. leave of his daughter, he
would have withdrawn her
from the vessel. He thinks that
when 1t WAS seen that the
Messengers could not resist the
shipment Of OIL advantage was taken to
put it on board at the last moment; dur
mo the time of lis being shipped other
merchandise was being taken in the hold;
he has lived at Galveston for twenty
Years and never knew Of an instance Of
the lightning setting fire to anything
tber, therefore he considered that the
fire arose from materials on board the
Waco, and not from the lightning; from
the position of the oil, ranging
fore and aft, there was no
possibility of saving the vessel
when once fire broke out. lie
He intends to commence legal proceed
ings against the owners of the Waco, for
the loss of his daughter.i He visits New
York for that purpose.

Sentence Of Kentucky Ku KIux.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. l4-The verdict
Of guilty was sally received by Ku Kur
/ prisoners Smoot, Oman and Msfost
W hen the COM victed, three were presented
before Judge Emmons 10 receive their
final sentence, the Judge first address
ed himself 10 Smoot He said, personally,
he did not consider him degraded man.
he did not believe him q theft; be saw
nothing in his character that would
cause belief that any mans property
would not be safe when in
his reach, but he had been carried away
by local feelings, which caused combl-
nations for the purpose OF committing
high crimes. He had, perhaps, really no
evil in his heart, but strange circum-
stances surrounding the feeling in the
local community caused him TO join IN n
common purpose and he had committed
one Of the most dangerous Of crimes. 80
far us the Court was aware, he had never
wronged any one in the ordinary walks
of life.
After making some remarks TO Smoot,
whom he sentenced for five years, Judge
Emmons turned to John Oman and told
him TO consider well what he had said tO
Smoot He said thst without violation
OF his public duty he could not sentence
him to less than three years imprison-
mcnt in the penitcntiary. Judge Emmons
next addressed himself to Geo. Mettert,
and sand that in his case he
should take into consideration
the accident that had befallen him, and
the fact that he had been shot and badly
wounded, and was still suffering from
his wounds. The jury believed him
guilty, but in less degree than the others,
and had recommended lcniency on his
part. He would take into consideration
the accidents which had occurred to him,
and his records, irrespective of the re-
commentator of the jury. He would
take into consideration the evaporation
and excitement caused by his wounds,
and was therefore not prepared
to sentence him. He wished to
make further inquiry into his
life since his arrest. he therefore su..
pended sentence for an indefinite peri
Cd. 1t would not be long before the SEN
tence would ..be -given, but that time
would be deducted from the period Of
his sentence. Counsel for defense asked
that the court allow the prisoner TO be
sent to some other penltentiary outside
of Kentucky, for various personal rca-
sons affecting the family and relatives OF
the sentenced parties. The court, how
ever, said that II knew nothing OF these
reasons, and could uot send them 10 any
other prison. The counts on which tho
prisoners were convicted charge them
with conspiring to injure the Wells Rus
sci while engaged in the lawful discharge
Of his duty tt. State officer, and by
