are limited to no one locality, but from every

THE WRECK OF THE HATTIE EATON
Mr. Mitchell, who resides near the scene
OF the wreck (Kittery, Me), was the only
Cook steered for the smoothest place he
could find, and came within one hundred
feet of a smooth beach. The Eaton struck
stem on, about her length from the shore
and was wedged between two rocks, her
stern being free. Three colored seamen
were below badly frost-bitten, and the
mate was in the torecastle with dslocat-
ed shoulder. Capt. Cook went into the
rigging and as the brig listed ran out on
the boom. Mr. Mitchell ran from the shore
to ledge, and the two men were but
eight feet apart though there was rag
ing guilt between. Capt Cook sent fare
well messages to his friends and gave par
tlculars regarding his vessel and cargo A
sea lifted the vessel and plunged the boom
he was on far beneath the waves and he
was not seen afterwards. The same wave
dashed Mr.. Mitchell backward behind the
ledge into the water, but there being no
undertow he scrambled ashore Other
men came down to the shore, and hand in
hand rushed to the bows of the Eaton and
aboard, seized mate LeBaron and rescued
him just as wave lifted the stern, broke
the timbers short off and doubled the stern
over upon the bow, crushing the second
mate and the rest of the crew, except one
stalwart mulatto who had stripped him
self and plunged into the sea. Several
times he succeeded in getting within
few feet of the shore, but the undertow
carried him dack each time 100 feet, until
exhausted. his head was dashed against
rock and he sank. One by one the man
gled bodies aboard the vessel were torn
from the wreck and washed overheard,
the vessel being shaken to pieces in few
minutes. The body of Capt Cook was
taken in charge by the masons, who rec
ognized him as brother by ring on his
fore finger. The mate, LeBaron, has re-
covered consciousness, and his life will
doubtless be saved.

A NEW SCANDAL.

The House Pensions Committee yester-
day came across a new scandal very unex-
pectedly. They were examining Col Sea-
ton, formerly an employe of responsibility
in the Pension Bureau. He stated that
while Won Arnum, of New York, was
Commissioner of Pensions, ring compos-
ed of one Cheney, of Massachusetts; Van
Letre and Hill, of New York and Won Ar
mum. swindled the Government out of
about 100000 by fraudulently procuring
the issue of land warrants. They would
apply for the issue Of a warrant to party
entitled to one, but who, from lack OF in
formation or some other cause, had not
applied for it, representing themselves as
his agents. or, in case he was dead, his
administrator Securing the warrant they
would sell it and divide the proceeds
among themselves. These warrants were
worth in those days from S175 to 5000
each. This was some time in 1867 or 1868.
Seaton says he personally examined about
100 of these cases, and reported them
fraudulent, whereupon he was dismissed.
