=. - BRIRF MENTION,
There is rumor current that the Of
ficials of the Jennie Gilchrist attempt to
excuse their negligence in not recovering
the bodies from the wreck last Friday, as
could most easily have been accomplished,
by the statement that they could not find a
diver. The runor also states that Captain
Wall, the diver, when found, refused to
perform such services for less than SO per
day The facts in the ease are that Caps.
W all agreed TO go down in the wreck for
the same figures that are paid him for any
submarine work. He was not asked to go
E;down Friday. although at work ton the in
let pipe for the water works, -~ %
It is stated that the steamer Jennie Gil
christ was not supplied with any anchor
sufficient to do any effective service in case
of an accident. There is no evidence,
however, that anybody on board tried to
drop the anchor when it was found that
the boat was drifting against the bridge.
The huh of the sunken steamer will be
raised tomorrow, or at least during the
present week. -sstee seD .
The number of victims still remains a,
eleven, with the prospect that it may be
increased.
The members of the party who visited
the wreck last Saturday are loud in their
praise Of Captain Lucas, and Mr.. Davis
clerk of the Little Eagle, as wen as the
crew, for their courtesy in conveying ths
party from Buffalo to this city without
pay, and also for other acts of kindness
manifested during the trip. The. same
party consider that Captain Pierce. of the
Viola is certainly to blame for not retaFn-
ing for the barge as he agreed 10 do in the
morning, and for which he was paid in ad
vance by Mr.. Gilchrist, of the sunken
steamer. 5.@ 44fs I1- .-4ci

He started from Glendive on the Yellow

starting place to Bismark, which occupied
twelve days he was all alone, but at Bis

correspondent of the New York Herald,
who accompanied him in skif from that
place. For days at time they would
not see human being, would have to
camp out ON the bank, and for food depend
ed on the game they could kill They
would meet parties of Indians now and
then, but could get little information from
them. for as Boynton said, they didn't
seem to know the difference between
three miles and three months. The trip
was a lonesome aud tedious one, and with

unpleasant, and at times the weather was
SO cold that it was only by the exercise

The raftsmen who first discovered the
floating cabin were out in skiffs capturing
logs which had escaped from raft. AS
soon as they saw the wreck they made
for it, and Immediately commenced
the work Of discovering the bodies found
in that enclosure The head of the one
victim was seen through the roof and these
men with axes soon cut a hole through
which the corpse was removed, This body
proved to be that of W. ID. Wendt of Cor
dova. The citizens of Buffalo as soon as
they ascertained that the wreck had fioated
near their town, came out in large num-
bers and rendered all the assistance in their
power. =
It is stated that some vandal took re-

from the dead body of Wendt, and at
tempted to appropriate them Such ac
tions were not aIlowedby Coroner Bawden

belonging to the dead man but the whis-

articles, but this is denied by them as Rus

says that he did not see any of the articles
said to have been lost, but remembered see
