New York, May l3.-A telegram
from London says that eighty-nine
bodies, lost by the wreck of the
Schiller, have been recovered, and
among them the body of man with
"a" marked on a signet ring, and
"A. F" on the linen. The body of n
young lady, having a diamond set in
a massive gold ring, was found at
distance of twenty-five miles from the
scene of the disaster.
A long and excited meeting of the
Erie Directors was held to-day. A
special committee, consisting of Presi-
dent Jewett, John Taylor Johnson
and ExGov. Morgan, was appointed
TO make report to the stockholders
on the condition of the road, and pre-
sented the report. Considerable dis
cussion followed, owing to the rumors
a1oat that the company could not pay
its June interest. 1t was decided to
telegraph to London that some ar
rangement would be made in regard
to the payment of the June interest.
Evarts remarked to Beach that they
would probably conclude the testi-
mony this afternoon.
On next Wednesday morning Judge
Porter will begin to sum up for the
plaintiff. He will occupy about two
days with his argument, which will
be devoted almost entirely to an analy-
sis of the testimony. Evarts will fol-
low him with another two days argu-
ment devoted to the general legal
features of the case. Beach will con-
duct the whole of the final argument
for the plaintiff. He will begin as
coon as Evarts has finished, and will
occupy about two days. IT is under
stood that Judge Nelson's charge will
not be very long and he expects that
the case will be finished the irst week
in June.
AT the annual meeting OF the Con-
gregational Union to-day some ex-
citement was caused by the declara-
tiou of Bacon that he would not serve
on the board of trustees with a gen.
tleman who did not represent the
Church, meaning Henry Z. Bowen,
who was nominated.

OsceOla, Pa, May 13.-John Siney,
President Of the Miners and La.
borers' Benevolent Association, ad-
dressed an excited crowd of miners
here to-day. He said that if Captain
Clarke, of tho police force, received
any injury, the responsibility would
rest on those who sent him here and
not on the miners. He said that
there were times when the people
were justified in violating the law |;
that the persons who came here now
to take the places of those on a strike
were robbtng the children and wo-
men of their bread, and should
be treated accordingly. Siney then
sent the infuriated crowd to Powell
tou's to drag the men from their
work, as they did at Fishers works
yesterday. 1t is the universal he
lief here among the disinterested
citizens, that if there is bloodshed,
the blame will rest with Siney and
Parks, who are nnder the pay of the
national organization, and who, it Is
believed, are being paid by the ship
pers in other regions to keep up the
strike here.

deas was issued in the case, and the
