Further particulars of the mutiny
on the schooner Jefferson have been
received. The leader was II seaman
named Miller, native of Finland. He
called the captain at midnight, saying
a man had broken his leg. This was II
ruse to get the captain on deck unpre-
pared but when he got there he was
well armed, and commenced firing on
the mutineers. The latter, finding II
impossible to get the upper hand, re-
tired to the deck house, in which they
were nailed up by the captain and
steward. Forty shots were fired ut the
mutineers before they surrendered. 1t
was thirty hours from the beginning
of the outbreak before the last man
surrendered.
A very sad, and, in some respects,
singular death, occurred at Sedalla,
Missouri, on the morning of the 9th.
A dispatch says: Mr.. James Steele,
treasurer of Robertson county, Texas,
wealthy and prominent man, lost his
wife about three months since. This
morning he arrived in our city on the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad,
with six small, motherless children.
The kind and loving father was in the
last stage of consumption. just before
the train reached Sedalia he called his
little children around him and bid
them an afIectionate and final fare
WELL but when the train stopped he
was able to walk. The family took a
bus, and arrived at the llgen house at
ten o'clock. AT eleven the poor man
died, with his six little children weep
ing around his bedside. 1t was a mel
ancholy sight to witness six beautiful,
intellectual little children among
strangers, with no mother, no father
to care for or comfort them. The pro.
prietors of the Ilgen house telegraphed
to brother of the deceased at Wheel
ing. Virginia, and rendered all assis-
lance in their power to the children.
Fortunately they are in aflluent Cir
cumstances.
