The Anderson Trial.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 4.-The Anderson
trial was resumed to-day. D. Davis chief
clerk of the returning board, was cross
examined. The testimony ELECTED was
contradictory OF the statements made by
Pellitier.
VIM. II. Green, a leading colored ward
politician and clerk of the returning board.
testified that the board, when the tabulated
statement of the electoral vote was brought
into the secret session by him, did not ask
Tor parish returns to compare them with the
statements. The members signed the state
ment, and returned il TO the chief clerk to
copy. The witness is now employed in
Wells department at the custom house.
Green was asked If there was not a promise
made to him when he was called to Wash
ington as a witness. He said there was, but
refused to tell about il. He was frequently
interviewed by the secretary of the demo
cratic committee, who attempted to
induce him to tell what he knew
in Washington, also to make certain
copies and abstracts from the minute book
of the returning board. He was promised
the asSeSsorship of the third district if he
complied with the secretary's wishes. He
was told at a confidential dinner by the
secretary that Governor Palmer bad good
opinion of HIM (witness), and would like to
see him doing we'll The witness feared a
trap was being set for him, and answered the
questions carefully. They were presented to
him in writing.
Several other clerks testified, but nothing
new or startling was developed.
Green when recalled said the promises
made TO him in Washington did not come
from the returning board. He received a
letter from the secretary of the democratic
committee which had $40 inclosed.
At the evening session Green was cross
examined at length by the attorney general
He would not tell who promised him the
assessorship, but when threatened with pun
ishment for contempt named Mr.. Ed Harris,
secretary of Governor Palmer and his COM
mittee.
NJ. Powers, passenger agent for Cassidy's
hotel, testified that the package deposited at

way compatible with common sense. Well,

passengers was 260, of whom sbout l60 were
drowned; remainder saved. The steamer is
a total wreck.
NOTHING Is LEFT ABOVE WATER.
There are no bodies aboard the steamer.
The wreck was caused by the vessel being
unse iworthy. She sprang a leak about mid
night, and stranded abOut7 a. M, January

ming ashore, as the vessel Was in a sinking
condition. This is the statement of Love

EIGHT o'CLoCK-THE STATE OF AFFAIRS THIS
MORNING Is TERRIBLE;
dead bodies are lying along the beach for a
distance of two miles. They are all being
placed in a proper position back from the
beach. The living are being cared for. The
two saloon women are known to be dead
with their husbands. Eight out OF fourteen
foremen, are known 10 be dead. The
men saved are destitute of clothing. Will
send a list OF names as soon as they can be
gathered.
8 oclock.-Travelers along the beach are
picking up the living and the dead. The
latter constitute about one-third of all re-
covered.

stack, boats and engine room doors and the

unmanageable. Finding nothing could be
done for the vessel an attempt was made to
reach the beach 10 save what lives could be
saved. At o'clock they reached the beach.
At that time the fires were out and the en-
CINE stopped. They set all head sail to drive
her up the beach. The surf was very VIC
lent.

At IL o'clock a man on horseback made his
appearance on the beach waving his hat and
promising assistance. at 1870 p. m. the
life saving service made their appearance.
but came poorly provided to save life. All
the assistance they could render was to get
them out of the surf as they came ashore.
Had they come to the scene of the wreck
during the forenoon nearly every one'could
have been saved. At p. m. she broke up
completely, throwing US all into the sea.
