A DEAD MAN BLAMED.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. &c, 1879.
The report Of the Local Board OF Steam Vessel In
spectors concerning the collision ON the 7th ult.,
between the steamer Champion and the British ship
Lady Octavia. declares that the disaster was wholly
due to the absence Of proper lookout on the
Champion. The Board is OF the opinion that tho
fault rests mainly with II. II. Leonard thehrst mate
Of the Champion, and IL he had survived his action
he should have been condemned in severe terms.
The evidence shows that it was tho Lady Octavia
that ran into the Champion. but that. under the
evidence. the officers OF the former should be exon
Grated from all blame. The Champion appears to
have been fully equipped with lcsaving appliances
and the loss of life would not have been serious
had the steamer kept afoat few minutes longer.
Credit is given to the officers and of tho Lady
Octava for the promptncss with which they went to
the rescue Of the passengers and crew OF the wrecked
ateamer.

as last May ut Wilkesbarre great Welsh musical
festival was held in tho market house. and crowds

withal artistic melodies of the Welsh. Efforts were
made during tho Centennial to engage the choirs for

negotiations fell through. To-day Philadelphia at
length had opportunity of hearing fine selection
OF Welsh songs and melodies. and large numbers
