STARTLING TESTIMONY ABOUT THE WRECK
OF THE METROPoLIs.-In the investigation
into the cause of the loss of the Metropolis, at
Philadelphia yesterday, several witnesses tes-
tify to having heard the captain say, after the
wreck, that he had been told by Mr.. Lunt, one
OF the owners that if he had any accident not
10 make any halfway business of it. Two
witnesses swear that the captain said i'm their
presence" u" Well, did as the owners requested
me, for they said, IL you have TO make a
wreck, make il good wreck" The iireman
for the MeSSrS. Collins heard this langua ge
and like others 10 whose ears il came. believed
that the ship was purpOSely east away. This
testimony was coTTObOratiye of that hereto
fore given by Paul j. White, the engineef, and
A. W. Newton. Captain Ankers will probably
be examined to-day. The Philadelphia RuUe-
I'm says that - ii Is hardly necessary 10 com
ment upon this terrible evidence. III is one of
those revelations which point directly TO the
TACT that the men who went down 10 sudden
and awful death in the Metropolis were sent
to such a fate deliberately, by the owners OF
the vessel, with the guilty knowledge of the
captain. The solitary thing in the captains
favor: so far developed, is that he was willing
TO liSk his life i'm a vessel that he knew 10 be- a
rotten hulk. The interests OF justice seem 10
demand his speedy arrest and the arrest OF
the owners
