The Wreck of the Circassian
A Night Of Horror and a Morning
of Death.

New YORK December 81 The sec
ond wreck of the ship Circassian is the
most disastrous that has occurred on
the Long Island coast since the wreck
of the John Milton, fifteen years ago
She ran ashore in binding SHOWS storm,
and all on board-tl i'ty persons-were
lost. The crew of the Milton were fro
zen stiff in the rigging, their arms STAN
ding straight out in front Of them
During the early part of the night,
before the men went into the rigging,
the cables were Stacked. but the ship
moved only short distance, and con-
tinued through the night to strike the
bottom. Every time she struck the men
thought she would loose her masts, to
which they had lashed themselves
While conscious of the great danger and
the utter impossihility of saving them
selves if the mast should go by the
board, it being of iron, they were una
BILE TO slacken the lashing. Some OF
them, with more self possession than
others, had taken this contingency into
their calculation, and had not securely
lashed themselves, and among those
were the only four saved from the wreck
At half-past m. the long-dreaded
crisis came, and the mizzen-mast wen,
by the board with crash, carrying the
main. mast with it A tremendous swell
had struck the Circassian aft and raised
thumped heavily, and the terrific jal
threw the mast over the side. The masts
being of iron, went to the bottom i'm
mediately, carrying with them twenty
eight souls.

Ueatn OF Com I'M 0dOre Vanderbilt

NEW YORK. January 4-Commodore
Vanderbilt died this morning al min
utes to II o'clock, at his residence in
WashI gl"n III ce.
Commodore Vanderbilt remained per
fectly conscious to the last moment of his
life and died almost without q struggle -
Ever since Tuesday it has been apparent
to his doctors that his hours were mum.
bercd and that at the most he could only
live few days or week. AT 4 clock
this morning his condition became rapid
lv worse, and he expressed desire to see
Rev DR. Deems, his spiritual adviser
| The latter arrived in a few moments, and
Commodore Vanderbilt said: Il think |
am nearly gone, Doctor" DR.. Deems
prayed by the bedside of the dying man,
and then some members Of the family
sang few hymns in low tones. The
music seemed to soo,he the sufferer.
All his family were sent for during the
night, and when he died they were by
his bedside His eldest son, William A,
Vanderbilt, arrived soon after midnight,
and remained to the end All his daugh-
tiers were present, and his wife, who has
been present at his bedside during the en-
tire period of his sickness, was at her post
as usual Doctors Lindsey and Elliott
we're also in attendance. They warned
both Commodore Vanderbilt and his
friends to expect the worst. The news
of his death spread rapidly, and many of
his friends called at the house this morn
ing and sympathized with the mourners.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr arrived just be-
! fore his father died.
| 1t is estimated by those in q position to
Judge that Commodore Vanderbilt was
owner ct securities having present mar
ket value of about SS5, ,000,0 900, and that
of this total fully S55, 100000 consists OF
stocks and bonds of the New York Cen
tral and Hudson River Railroad tits
understood that the bulk of this vasi
property is to be kept together, and that
provisions has been made for reinvesting
the accruing interest in his favorite secu
rites.
SO soon as the news was received at the
City Hall the flags were lowered at hal
mast, course which was soon after fol
lowed by the principal hotels and public
buildings. ...ss

~ 1t is all Radical bluster. They
have not the least idea of trying it on
We have the law and the Constitution.
Behind these, and in the firm and stern
sense of the people to defend them, we
are impregnably intrenched. Only by
