WHY THE WRECK Is NOT RAISED.
Intense feeling is expressed by relatievs of per-
sons whose lives were lost in the Seawanbaka dlsas-
ter, but whose bodies have not been found, because
the owners of the vessel have not raised
the wreck 80 that it may be discovered If there are
any bodies beneath it. Many men who have care
fully observed the hulk believe that 1t
conceals several corpses A TRIBUNE re-
porter yesterday made some inquiry of S. L. NJ
Barlow. concerning the matter Mr. Barlow SAID !;
L" am at my Office to-day for the first time since
the disaster having been quite Frustrated through
the week, am one of the owners OF tue sea
wanhaka. to the extent of $4,000 or $4,000;
do not think there is chance In thousand that
and the elements havo been so diligently at work
that from what saw on my way down this morn
ing, i should judge that the remnants OF the
boat would scarcely fill this small office
of mine You see that what is left is
mostly on the shore and it cannot be possible that
moved, 10 would have to be done by forcing 1t out
into deep water, which operation, in case any
dead bodies were under the steamer, would
cause them to be so imbedded In
the mud that they would never be recovered l
cannot say what action will be taken but the dr.
diately and the matter of removing the wreck may
then be considered"

MR.. BEECHER on DISASTERS.

THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY THE RECENT EPIDEMIC
OF ACCIDENTS ON THE WATER.
At the Plymouth prayer meeting last even
ing Mr.. Beecher read communication addressed to
himself. which stated that Mrs. Aaron d. Bennett who
with her husband, victim OF the eawanhHka dis
aster had received much encouragement and help from
his answer in the prayer meeting TO letter she had
written. Mr. Beecher then spoke OF the recent ca
lamities.

Mr. Beccher referred to the influence OF Providence in
human affairs Those who live on the broad plane or

way peace and the Of obedience is the way of
happiness. Either all things mysterious nothing
