THE SOUND DISASTER.

New LONDON, July 2S.-Several passengers
were examined to-day, Nothing new was
ELECTED except that one passenger had an i'm
preston that johnson, the ships detective, in
reassurlng the passengers said there was no ne
cessity of putting on preservers.
One passenger stated that he saw no effort
whatever made to put out the flames on the
Narragansett. The Stonington could have
laid alongside the Narragansett without any
danger of taking fire. He bought his ticket Of
the clerk on the boat and was not asked for his
name. In regard to the behavior of the officers
and crew he said he never witnessed such dis
graceful conduct in his life. They appeared to
act upon the principle of every man for him.
self.
One of the passengers examined was willing
to swear that after the fire Capt. Young was
not in the pilot house or on the hurricane deck
nor did he see any officer of the steamer except
the man who came up and dashed his head
against the window of the pilot house and i'm
mediately after left the deck. He had met
the same man previously on the stairway GO
ing up to the hurricane deck. While he was
on the hurricane deck he could have seen
boats if any were launched forward of the
wheel. 1t was probably not over eight min
utes after he was awakened by the collision
before he went out on the hurricane deck.
Owing to the non-arrival of witnesses ex-
pected from Boston the investigation was ad-
Journed over to Thursday.

Gen. weaver's Campaign in Alabama


NEW YORK, July 28-The following lletter
was received yesterday at the headquarters of
the Republican National Committee from a
well known Republican in Mobile, Ala:
"Gen. Weaver arrived here yesterday from
his stamping tour through this state. The at
tendance at his meeting tonight is large, and
reports from all parts Of the state where he
has spoken are of the most encouraging char
acter for the success of the independent ticket
In his speech at Montgomery Gen. Weaver
said: 1 find that ii is conceded everywhere in
your state that the Independent ticket will be
elected in August, if the people can only have
a fair count THIS, and all counties. in the
Black Belt, are overwhelmingly against the
Democratic party by more than three to one,
yet am told on all sides by most respectable
authority that you uniformly count out by
fraud the men who are honestly chosen, aud
install in office the candidates who are con-
fessedly defeated. This is the end of all free
government. If you strike down free ballot
in Alabama, you strike it down in Iowa. You
elect mon to Congress here by fraud, and they
make laws for Iowa and New York and every
other state in the Union as well as for Ala
bama.' Gen. Weaver has been assisted during
the canvass in this state by Col. Lowe, Gen.

under the bed was his muddy boots, with,
of course, no feet in them; and well there

All over Norway there are mounds which
are known to be burial places. Now and
then one is opened, and the contents are
always interesting, but it costs a great deal,
so that it is only very gradually that these
tombs are being Investigated. When a
famous chieftain died ii was the custom TO
build a burial chamber In his ship, aud to
bury with him his horses and his dogs, the
harness, gold and silver ornaments, etc.
Then the ship was dragged up
some distance on the shore, surrounded
with moss, and buried in clay piled up
over it. In the mound we saw there were
found the ship, about seventy feet long
Carger than any hitherto found) and the
bones of a man, three horses, and of several
dogs. 1t was undoubtedly placed there
in the ninth century, and after thousand
years of darkness has come to light once
more; but not for the first time. There are
signs of its having been opened and rited of
the gold and silver ornaments which ought
to have been found, and are not. But that
was probably not long after it was first
placed there. In spite of the years that it
has lain buried there are traces of paint on
the outside, and its ornamentation convinces
the antiquaries that SOME Viking of great
Importance had his last resting place here.
The nails with which the timbers are fast
ened show that it belonged to what is call
cd the first iron age. 1t was curious to see
how some of the parts were dovetaied into
each other in just the same way as they
would be done to-day. The ship is sup
posed to have carried 120 men, as that
number of shields were found hanging
within the bulwarks, forming defense TO
the men who rowed beneath. The prov
was very sharp, and must have cut the
water beautifully urged on by 50 many
rowers, and also by the wind in its large
sail, which was of woollen material. Round
the hero's bones were found the remains of
silk mantle, which may have been
brought from the farthest East. The rud-
der, a huge, oar shaped thing, was fastened
to the vessels side. Most of the articles
found within the ship have been carefully
removed and placed in the museum con-
nected with the university. The ship is
not yet wholly excavated. If possible to
remove it, it will be taken to Christiana.
