SCENES At WElLSvlllE.
Brave Henry Marker-His Aged Mother
-Eodies Arriving at the Morgue.

Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WELLsvILLE, O., July 9.-After the terri
BILE disaster of last Tuesday, when so many
of our peoplemet an untimely death, the
only consolation for the afflicted ones was
to be derived from recovery OF the bodies
of their missing friends. The muddy Ohio
seemed to cling to the drowned ones with
cruel tenacity, and until to-day very few OF
the vast number of missing were recovered.
The sorrow and despair Of those whose
relative were among the missing is heart
rending to witness.
Henry Marker, a young man living here,
is among the missing. On the night OF
the disaster he was endeayoring, in gal
liant manner, to save Belle Brandon and
would have done so, having almost reached
the shore, but three others jumped on
him and all went down together. Ever
since his poor, aged mother has been
daily visitor at the little telegraph Office
here yainly seeking tidings of her lost boy,
and the slight consolation that the finding
of his body would bring her; each time she
has gone away in fearful disappointment
her sorrowful and grief stricken actions
being painful to witness.
Bodies are arriving on every train and
are being taken to the morgue that has
been established here in store room Of
the Missouri House. All bodies found will
be brought here and kept until identified.
The authorities of all towns below Mingo
have been notified to send all unclaimed
bodies here for Identification by friends,

is still very much depressed. and sthe ex-
aggerated newspaper accounts OF the COIN
sion annoy him very much. The Ifesorts
of the broken rudder chain. or rather tne
tiller ropes, have been much Overweight
and might as well give you an idea OF the
matter. Coming ont of Steubenyille on the
way down the rope broke, but at once my
brother and myself got to work ana re
paired it, and no further trouble resYted
from it. Ny. father told me he triea MS
best to keep liquor off the boat by pressnt-
ing her landing at points where it could be
obtained, and when he did land it was Just
for time sufficient to allow those on 5oard
to get away. Father says that he die not
want to land at this city at all, but hsrid
il the solicitation of some on bQardf 1nd
also to take on few who belongedt9the
party. Several at this town wanted t9 go
out for LIQUOR, but he would not ailow
them, but one or two jumped into the rAyer
and waded ashore in order to get a supply.
R"What is your opinion as to the resPon-
sibility?' a.
"Well, this matter has not yet been IN
vestigated, but l think that both ptiots
are to blame, and l might give you my
reasons, but prefer to await further pe-
yelopments of the approaching investiga-
tion." 80
The John Lomas was tied up at the wharf,
here by the United 4Startes Marshal S&azr,
day night to satisfy a claim Of S4,oOoal-
legged to have been created by the loss done !
the Scioto by the Lomas last Tuesday night.
The suit was brought before United Steses
Commissioner Forbes by Capt. B. d. po-
yener, attorney for the Wheeling, Part1fs-
burg and Cincinnati Transportation Com
pany. On account of the lateness OF the
hour, the Lomas was unable TO give bond,
but will very likely attend to the .matter
this morning. The Transportation Comp
any in the meantime is liable TO Capt. IN
glebright for damages in the event OK de-
cision counter to 1t for each and every
day that the Lomas is tied up.
Arrests.
David Keller, pilot of the Scioto, was ar
rested by Deputy Marshal Kennedy, OF
this city. at Mingo on a warrant sworn out
by an officer here. Bail was furnished at
once by Capts. Dave Davis, Doherty, John
K. Booth and VIM. Prince, add Keller is at
liberty, A warrant is also out for b. J.
Long. pilot of the Lomas, but he is not yet
arrested.

sons from Bellaire to the wreck.

Special Dispatch to the Register.
WELLsvILLE, O., July S.-The greatest
crowds since the occurrence OF the disaster
gathered here to-day on the arrival of
every train, bringing up bodies from below
from morning until the last train arrived
in the evening. The platform and streets
surrounding the station were occupied by
a surging, sorrowful crowd of not less than
$4,000 people. AS previously arranged by
the mayor of East Liverpool and this
place, preparations were made here for
keeping, and after each train arrived it
was backed up to the morgue in the Mis-
souri, house and the bodies taken in to
await Identification.
The Noon Train
brought four corpses-John Stevenson and
Lou Harper, of Wellsville; Ben Stebbens
and one unknown from East Liverpool,
and Flora Culp from New Somerset near
here. The four o'clock train brought
nine bodies-John Cummins, Saiineyflles
Morris Dannaher, II. A. Hays, @. B. Arm
strong, Geo. Pinkerton and Willie Woods,
Wellsville; J. Raymond, NJ. Emmerling
and Wilson Paul, East Liverpool. Willie
Woods lay in the morgue for several hours
and was finally identified by an article OF
clothing. When Dannaher's body arrived
his poor father while looking at the bloated
and disfgured remains, in a moment OF
anguish, exclaimed:
That's Not MY Son.
He was, however, convinced of his mis-
take by fellow -boarder of his son. The
7P.M train brought the largest number Of
bodies, including all found from noon up
6P. E., and numbering fifteen Cummins
Thompson, Stephen Kent, Maria Booth,
Carrie Beardsmore, Eugene Tanner, East
Liverpool; John Hart, Cleveland; Charles
NJ, Elliott, Beaver Falls; Charles Davidson,
Samuel Hunter, John Marsh, Lottie Smith,
Denver Shannon, Webster Cross, August
Redman and John Grounds, Wellsyille.
All the Wellsville bodies were Immediately
taken to the morgue, and some were
claimed by friends. The scenes viewed at
the dead-house by your correspondent
were
Heart-rending i'm the Extreme,
rendering description impossible. The
corpses were all in horrible condition, the
features so bloated and marred as rendered
recognition difficult, and in some instances
almost impossible; added TO this was hor-
rible stencil, arising from the rapidly de-
composing bodies. All this presented a
scene sufficient to sicken the heart and
leave an impression upon the beholder not
readily effaced. AS fast as bodies were rec
ognized they were cotfined and taken to the
cemetery for burial. Here another sad
spectacle was presented. Six men were
busily engaged digging graves and prepar-
ing for the
Harvest OF Grim Death.
Seven funerals took place tonight, several
of them being conducted, by the uncertain
light of flickering torches, which added
wierd and ghostly appearance to the dread
never-to- o-be-forgotton scene. The body OF
John Marsh was inferred at o'clock Sum
day morning. M.

Other Findings.
Yesterday morning special train came
down the river from Wellsville and Liver
pool in the wake OF the line Of skitfs which
came down on Saturday, in quest OF the
bodies that might be found floating. This
train took home four bodies, two from Mar
tins Ferry, one from Portland, and one
from a point above::Portland. The Katie
StocEdale also took up tioater, picked up
near Sunfish, yesterday. The two bodies
picked up at Martins Ferry were those of
John Prosser, of Wellsville, and Stewart
Pipes, OF the same place. These bodies were
taken in charge by Mr.. Pipes, father of Pipes
and Mr.. II. Bright, neatly coffined and sent
home by special train. Mr.. Bright in
conversation with the REGISTER reporter
Yesterday afternoon, said that there were
over 500 persons aboard the Scioto at the
time of the disaster. He, we are informed,
also was very severe in his comments upon
those having her in charge, because an ex-
cessiye number was carried. He says his
feelings are participated in by the entire
community.
Statements
While at Martins Ferry, yesterday, re-
porter had talk with Moses McCann, en-
gineer of the John Lomas, and in the
course of his remarks he said: There is
great deal of talk in regard to the impossi-
bility of checking the momentum OF the
Scioto in time to prevent the collision.
This is all right to those who know no bet
ter: but will say, and know, think,
what am talking about, when l say it,
that there is no easier boat stopped on the
river. She handles easy and is operated
easily. Why, three revolutions would be
the most she could make after the steam
bad been shut of. She would stop dead
still after that"
Going over to the Island, last night
Everett Thomas, a we'll known and highly
accomplished pilot. was encountered at the
toll house. He is son of Capt. Thad
Thomas, who dwas in command of the scioto
at the time Of the collision, and brother OF
Dan Thomas, the youth who was drowned.
He said: t came up from home on the
Diurnal lassnight My father has some
