SrIzuRE OF STEAMER CITY OF PANAMA.
On Friday last, Immediately ON arrival
At this port of the steamer City of Pana-
ma. she was taken possession ofby United
states Marshal Hopkins on libel issued
Lr District Court in favor of Mrs. Mary
PbeIns and John S. Phelps, for damages
irstained by the former in January last
-. hoarI said steamer. A bond was soon
rrsnared. and our citizens responded 10y
pliIr in behalf of the Pacific Mail Steam
sbin Company, there being In a short
,i,ne one hundred thousand dollars offered,
,nore tbau sufficient to obtain her release.
Tba attorney in behalf of the libellants
ahjerting to the form of the bond, how
,',,'.r tbe L. S. Marshal took the steamer
=, seattle TO submit 1t to his Honor Judge
Tewis. Not meeting the Judge at that
mint bond was given by several of the
ir.;tizens of Seattle to the Marshal to pro-
rect him, and the steamer was released,
leaving here at O'Clock Sunday morning
for NanaimO, B. G.
Onr readers will remember the acct
dent which is the ground OF this action.
+, occurred at Seattle and was described Ia
onr columns at that time, being the result
of carelessness on the part of some of the
enplOvees on board the steamer who.
while Mrs. Phelps was temporarily Ia her
state-room removed hatch from the cab
in floor before her door, this being in the
evening, leaving no guard over it. On
Mrs. Phelps re-entering the cabin she fell
into the open trap and through two decks
into the hold. The bones of one of her
arms were splintered into numerous frag-
ments, some of them protruding through
the flesh, and still severer internal iuju-
ries were sustained by her. She is yet a
sutferer and, we are informed, will al
ways be an invalid by reason OF this acct
dent. it being impossible that she.should
ever recover the use of her arm.
1t is due Capt. Seabury and the Agent
of the Steamship Company, Mr.. Tibbals.
to say that the Immediate and hearty re-
sponse of our citizens in behalf of that
company was in great measure, and justly,
due to the popularity of the former and
the earnest exertions the latter.
