THE SCHILLER DISASTER.

New York, May 1.-THE rush OF people
to the agents Office still continues. Mr..
Lsonhard, of this city, called to-day to as
certain the fate Of his brother, George Leon
hard, of Augusta, Ga, who had left in the
Schiller with his wife and child tor SUIT

ed gentleman. who left the Office in tears.
LONDON, May 1O-An inquest was held to-
day at st. Mary's on twenty bodies from the
steamer Schiller. b. Killers, first officer Of
the Schiller, testified that at the time the YES
sci struck, Capt. Thomas and another officer
were on the bridge, two men were looking
out forward and two others were on the bridge
with the captain. The jury rendered YER
dict of accidentally drowned, coupled with a
Recommendation that telegraph be estab-
lished between Bishops Lighthouse and the
shore.
They express the obinion that il such COM
munication had existed all on board the Schil-
Ter would have been saved. Officers Killers
and POLICEMAN concur in this opinion. The
remains Of Mrs. Hermine Weste were pr.
vately buried after the inquest. The bodies
unclaimed were also buried. The funeral was
attended by Mr.. Dorienne Smith, the Owner
Of the Sicily Islands, the coroner and mem
bers Of the jury and nearly all the inhabi
tants of the island.
The bodies were first numbered and careful
records made Of the valuables, marks, etc.
found ON each. They were then inclosed in
separate collins. Two graves were dug, eact
twenty-five feet long. In these the coffin
were placed in two layers. Since the inques
was held fifty more bodies have washed
ashore or been picked up. The total numbe
now recovered is ninety-one.

EADS.
His Arrival on Monday Night.

Since IL became known that the jetty sys-
tenn had been adopted - means OF deepen
ing the channel at the mouth Of our river,
the public have watcksd with much interest
the movements of Capt J. B. Eads, the pro-
iector Of the plan, and have learned with no
little pleasure that this great work Was going
to be pushed forward ct once.
When the telegraph informed the citizens
of this city that this gentleman had embarked
on the steamer Great Republic for this place,
thare was but one feeling existing. and that
was that he might enjoy thoroughly the quiet
Of the trip and that his mission might be one
of success. Whatever may have been the
differences Of opinion as to the comparative
merits of the canal and jetty schemes, there
can be no question but what the people want
the ietty plan to receive fair and full trial,
and we feel satisfied they will do all in their
power to make it success
Yesterday Captain Esds arrived in the
city and at an early hour was driven to the
st. Charles Hotel and WAS at once taken care
Of by that hospitable host Col. Rivers. Shortly
after he had breakfasted visitors began to call
on him and by II o'clock his apartment, Par
aor E, was crowded.
Gen Beauregard, DR.. Fontsine and Hon.
C. w. B. Bayley we're chatting, when our re-
preventative entered, about the old Rightor
effort to build piling jetty at Southwest
Pass, during which the several sub-commlt-
tees from our commercial associations were
announced:
Gen. Cyrus Bussey, for the Cotton Ex-
change; Mr.. E. P. Rareshide, for the Ship and
Steamship Association; David jackson, for
the Chamber Of Commerce, and E. Z. Con-
verse for the Merchants Exchange, with
the several members of their subcommittee,
were introduced and general conversation
.ssnsued.
Capt Eads, in response to inquiries. stated
that his stay in our city this time would
probably be Of two weeks duration, and that
he had come for work, not pleasure.
He said he could not say definitely how
soon the work at South Pass would COM
.,nence, but certainly in the early fall, and
possibly before that
The work would be pushed on rapidly, and
from its extent, great many men would be
employed. As to their number, he could not
at present approximate. for circumstances
would govern that The contract had beer
given to Col Jno. Andrews, and this matter
was under his control
Referring to the present apparent stag
nation Of business, he felt that deep water
would obviate all that. After the gentlemen
OF the committee had rendered Capt Eads an
invitation to be present at the formal recep
ton this evening, at 1880 o'clock, they with.
drew.
During the day many our leading business
men paid their respects and the City Admin
sstsators and Mayor called.

in vain. A few alighted, but there was
nothing unusual in their make-up; no
mark to distinguish them from Ordin-
airy passengers, save and except a
light-colored veil wrapped around their
hats. Whether this badge was for use
or ornament we were unable 10 ascer-
tain, and, as the wearers were trying to
see the Sierra Nevada over the Hum
boldt Range, we did not consider 1t
safe to venture near them to inquire.
We learn from the train boys that
nearly all of them had been writing
during the day, and one of them told
Conductor Benson up the road that he
had just written to his paper about the
Humboldt river, and told of its bitter
alkaline waters and the deserts through
which it winds its way to the Pacific.
Tie intelligent editorial excursionist
was greatly surprised when the con
ductor informed him that the Hum

into the ground seventy or eighty

MICA.

Acorrespondent of the Phoebe Rec
ord, representing that he has discov-
cred a deposit of mica down toward
the Colorado, makes inquiry about its
value and the uses to which it is put.
It is mainly used as a substitute for
glass in a variety of ways. 1t is a
good thing for lanterns and locomotive
head lights, as 1t bears sudden changes
Of temperature much better than glass.
1t is also used extensively OH ships OF
war, fol the reason that it is not liable
to be broken on the discharge OF can
non. Its value depends entirely upon
the size, thinness and transparency OF
the sheets. Small particles are almost
wholly worthless, while plates six in
ches ouare and not more than the
300 O0Oth part of an inch in thickness
command about 81 per pound. There

CENTENNIAL STOCK AND MED
ALI.

Under the law Of Congress author
izing the Centennial exhibition next
year, the people Of Nevada are re-
quired 70 subscribe for $1l 900 worth
Of the stock of. the enterprise, that be-
ing our quota Of the total sum to be
raised. Each share OF stock is valued
At 80, ssand entities the holder to a
largo and beautiful steel engraving.
This alone is worth the money, being
IN allegorical representation of the
progress and destiny Of America. 1t
is 16x22, was engraved by the United
States Government at a cos Of $4,000,
and would he a handsome ornamentto
n parlor. It also draws. . share of
the net proceeds Of the Centennial Ex-
hibition. The Vienna Exposition got
ten up on = similar plan, we believe,
not only reimbursed the shareholders
but paid a handsome dividend on the
investment. A stock certificate also
admits, if we mistake not, the holder
Ia all parts Of the Centennial grounds,
operating in the nature of a season
ticket. It will thus be seen that the
investment is . good one, and no pei.
son should fail to take at least n
share. The sale of shares to individ-
uals is limited, in order that all may
be accommodated. The medals, as
We understand it, are in no way iden-
titled with the stock, though gotten up
tor the purpose Of raising funds in aid
Of the same object. They are made Of
silver, with an appropriate emblem
and device, and are worth So each.
Each medal is inclosed in a neat case,
and, IS memento of the occasion which
called it into existence, should find
willing purchasers. .Messrs. White
hill and Stewart are the authorized
agents for the sale Of both stock and
medals in this State. As it will not be
possible for them to call personally on
all Of our people, they yesterday left a
number Of the medals anc a book OF
certificates of stock at the banking
house of d. B. Immel & Co., where
parties desiring to purchase either can
cur them. They are worthy Of
careful inspection, even should you
not care to invest.

A COMPLAINING SUBSCRIBER We
received yesterday morning q letter
from q Mineral Hill subscriber COM
planning that lac did not receive his
SENTINEL regularly. The papers for
our Mineral Hill subscribers are left at
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S Office every day
that they are issued, and we are as
sured by tho agent here that they are
- regularly put in the treasure box for
that place, in which case the fault
must rest In the office at Mineral Hill.
Such delinquencies are very annoying
and provoking, mol only to the sub
scriber who pays for his paper but to
the publishers who furnish it. All
precautions are taken in this Office
against mistakes or omissions, and we
arc satisfied in this instance at least
that the fault ID not at this end Of the
line, and We suggest TO our friend that
he make inquiries 1t the Office at Min
sral Hill.
