STEAMSHIP ASHORE.
The Amerique Wrecked at Long
Branch.
THREE OF THE CREW
DROWNED.

LONG BRANCH, N. j., Jan. 1.-THE trans
Atlantic steamship Amerique, from Havre for
New York, came ashore at Seabright at about
four miles north of this place. She struck
about three clock this morning. There were
3 cabin and 81 second and fourth class passen-
gers and 1852 officers and crew, all of whom,
with the exception of three of the crew, were
saved.
Soon after the ship struck, the captain Or
dered small boat. with a crew composed Of
officer BriilOwing and eleven men, to convey
information to the shore and obtain assistance
The steamship was then only 20 yards from the
beach. The boat struck the beach, but the I'M
dertow and the floating ice together, there
being much OF the latter, upset the boat and
three OF the crew were lost Oue of the bodies
was recovered.
A crew from life stations and were on
hand and succeeded soon afterwards in throw
ing line to the ship, and BY aid of the crew
vf the Amerique the life Car was soon drawn
on board The passengers at first were afraid
to get into the Car, but Mr.. Cornell Jewell who
was passenger on board, and his wife got into
the car and were safely drawn ashore, after
which all of the passengers and most of the
crew were landed, five or six being in the car
at time. The captain still remains on board.
looking after the vessel. All the mails and
specie were safely landed.
The ship was in charge of pilot taken on
board yesterday about 1877 miles from New
York The sea at that time was smooth, but
afterward the weather thickened up very
much and was SO when the vessel struck. The
conduct of the crews of the life saving stations
was OF a must efficient nature, being promptly
on hand and by their exertions saving every
man that was on board. Had not the boat left
the ship all would have been saved.

BENNETT-MAY.
A Duel Impending if Not Already
Fought.

A Duel Impending If Not Already
Fought
New York, Jan. THE World of Sunday
says the hostile meeting between Bennett and
May will probably take place to day. FEEDER
lex May and his cousin from Baltimore who
left New York Friday night, purchased tickets
for Montreal, hut it is probable that some
point this side of that city but on the other side
of the border had been already selected, and
that Bennett was already waiting there, having
taken the train by the Northern railroad from
Boston. This point in all probability is in the
neighborhood of Samstead and just over the
Vermont line. Dispatches from Montreal
make it certain that the parties did not 20
there. The report that Mr.. Bennett had Sc
cured the services of Gen. Richard Taylor as
his second proves unfounded. Gen. Taylor is
confined to his rooms in Washington by severe
indispositon. 1t is possible Mr. John Hecks.
cher will act in that capacity as he could not be
found in the city last night Both Bennett and
May have certainly left the city. Said an in
innate friend of the two gentlemen last night:
they are neither of them men that will shirk
the issue of duel for both are brave Bennett
will behave as well as any man ever did. There
is no white feather in his cap and he is a first
rate shot May is also an expert with the pis-
tol, and that will undoubtedly be the weapon
chosen" Itis said that this latter point was
agreed upon before May left the city.
Neither eX Judge Cunning, S. Bedford, nor
Recorder Hackett could be found last night at
their residences, aud the rumor was current
that strenuous efforts will be made to arrange
Mr.. Bedford and his brother, DR.. Bedford, had
left the city to be present at the duel the form

capacity
