Col" Miss Helen Morris Lewis, OF

Schwab informed Miss Lewis that it
would be necessary for her to purchase
a wardrobe, and that, as he knew just
what she wanted, he would undertake

IL after Gen. Garfield was shot, and
while the soft hearts all over the land
we're overlooking with regret, gush and
such like, one David S. Burns, a Deputy
Collector of Ike Youngs Bareau, in
Chatham county, was summary kicked
out of office. because he had expressed
a lack of "Gu.h'' for Garfield and re

fact was duly tclegraphed all over the
land. and if Garfield had recovered all
would have been sun-shiny for Col.
Isaac. But Garfield done went and
died. and the enemies within his house

Terrible Disaster on the Mis-
sissippi.

The steamer Golden City left New
Orleans for St. Louis with a large cargo,
and numerous passengers. She was a
fine new boat. owned in Cleveland,
Ohio. At ore of the river landings she
took on board the men and animals OF
Stoves circus. There were 35 ladies
among the passengers and a merry party
gathered In the parlors, where there was
music on the piano, whist playing, and
Irritation. No one dreamed of the hide
Gus shadow which lowered over the
heads of more than half the assemblage.
AS day break drew nigh, the steamer
blew her whistle to announce that she was
about to reach Memphis. A negro night
watchman picked up his lantern to GO
around the vessel, rOuslng the pas
.enyerS WAC intended to di>embark.
The bottom of the lantern dropped out
and lgnlted a package OF loose Jute
on the floor. Like a flash the flames
spread through the centre OF the vessel!
HoarSe shouts OF alarm were heard On
all sizes. Que OF the pilots bravely ran
into the burning cabin to burst open the
doors Of the lauies 5 State-rOoms, ana
thus sacrificed his life which he migl t
have saved. Meantime the stean. ers
prov rad Deen run ashore aud laIImed
among some coal barges, sinking several
persons In the collision. The sailors
tried to Gea,ten the burning steamer; but
the swollen river, rushing past with the
force OF a mountain torrent 25 feet deep,
tore her from their puny efforts. Away
she went, whirling down the current,
with a column of flame half a mile high
roaring and cracking above. Imagine
the borrow OF the hurrying spectators
who knew that she was a frey coffin, III
which irom 80 to 90 human beings were
screening to death! Amid the lurid
glare could be seer the raging animals,
the lion, iger, elephant, giraffe, etc,
breaking from their cages, but unable
to escape. Presently all was silent, an
black darkness fell upon the scene, as
the vessel sank; carrying down her
stifHed freight. Efforts 70 get her by
divers have failed thus far by reason
of the food. 1t is supposed that many of
the women are still In the State rooms.
W. Il. Stowe and family, proprietor cf
the circus are among the lost.
When Capt. l.. h. Kouns, of Shrevc-
port, learned that his wife, children,
and Miss Mamie Campbell, were burn
ed he became crazy and is still in that
condition. Many Saddening incidents
are reported.

THE CURRENCY.

Action of the Committee on Mr.. Hew-
tits Bill
WASHINGTON, March 10.-At meeting of
the House committee on banking and cur
rency Representative Grape made verbal re-
port upon Representative Hewitt's bill to Sc
cure uniform standard of value, to the effect
that it is not advisable to recommend the pro-
posed legislation at present. Representative
Hewtt's bill provides that gold and silver
coins of the Unitad States which are full legal
tender shall hereafter be interchanged at their
lawful value for the other upon demand of any
holder thereof at the office of the Assistant
Treasurer at New York, whens presented in
sums of SLIGO or any multiple thereof. The
bill also provides for the repeal of all laws linn
iting the amount of standard dollars to be
coined. The object of the bill as set forth in
the preamble is to secure and forever maintain
an equality of the standard silver dollar with
the legal unit of value established by Congress.
The subject was discussed without reaching
final action. The committee also discussed
the Grape bill to amend the statutes relative
to the circulation of national banks. Some
amendments to the bill were proposed and the
subject was referred back to Mr.. Grape with
instructions to report at some future meeting.
1t was voted to hold regular meetings OF the
committee on Friday of each week.

gistered under the name OF Edmond.
The funeral of Mrs. Bell took place
in Undertaken Pinkham's rooms on
Howard street this afternoon, in the
yres3nce of a small group, mostly ladies. The
Eervice was conducted by Rev. Mr.. Babcock of
Warren street chapel, at the closo of which
the friends present viewed the remains which
were enclcsed in a neat plain coffin. The
body was taken to Mount Hope cemetery for
interment.
SALEM, March TO-
The name of the man arrested as given to
the police is George Edmonds. He tallies ex-
actly with the description of Mrs. Bells assas-
sin. Baker, who saw the murderer just after
the crime, is almost ready to swear that the
prieoner is the man. Edmonds applied for
lodgings late Thursday night at the police sta-
ton. His clothing was covered with spots of
bloci and his handkerchief was also stained
with blood. He also said that he had come
from Bost IN and was bound fer Lowell. He is
45 years of age, five feet nine inches in height.
and weighs 145 pounds. He cannot account
for the blood stains.
BOSTON, March 10.-Edmonds the man ar
rested at Salem in connection with the Bell
murder, was brought to this city this after
noon and subjected to a searching examination
at the 4th police station. Allen Fairclough,
the baker, and Villa Bell were summond for
the purpose of Identification At the close of
the investigation Capt. White announced
"We don't feel satisfied we have the right
man and that is all have to say at present"
He declined to give any information in re-
gard to statements of the prisoner who is I'M
derstosd to have admitted he had been on
drunk and had got into some difficulty, but
denies any completely in the murder. The
officers who were capable of identifying him
were reticent as to their views. The man will
be kept in confinement for the present. The
proprietor of hardware store on Washington
Street near Oak says his first custom Tuesday
morning after opening the store at 730 was a
man whose description agrees completely with
that of the murderer and who brought two
edged knife or dirk similar to that which
must have been used upon Mrs. Bell.
