during the winter is used as a freight boat,
running from here to Portland, Me-, stopping
at Martha's Vineyard. She carried no passen-
gers and had a crew of 33 men. She was COM
manded by Capt Bragg. The Nereus is a
vessel of about the same size and rig belong
ing to the Metropolitan Line. She carries
freight between this city and Boston. The
steamers left. their piers ahd reached He'll
Gate about the same time, the Eleanora was
on the inside and as the came close together
passing through little He'll Gate the strong cur
rent forced the Nereus against her, driving her
on tie rocks. The Eleanora is not thought to
be seriously damaged, but the extent of her
injuries are not known. The Nereus did not
appear greatly damaged by the collision as she
continued on her way to Boston. Tugs were
at work this evening trying to get the Eleanora
off the rocks.

LAMENTATIONS OF SAMUEL JONE.
TILDEN,

Is it possible that Tilden has been aband-
oned by his chief heuchman? by Watterson Of
the Comier-Jor nal, who has for eight or ter
years been disting uished as the champion OF
the sage Of Gramercy Park? 1t seems so, and
if it is not so, why did Watterson wlite thus
in letter to his paper on the political situa on
in New York state;
ut is only pity that the democrats are so
poorly off in New York, in point of both lead
ers and condition, as to be unable to derive
much profit out of these dissensions among the
republicans We really have nobody, or next
to nobody, to put up for governor. Even il
We had, union among democrats seems i'm
possible. So the party may as we'll dismiss
New York from its calculations, ard prepare
to 90 west for a presidential nominee in
1884,"
Evidently Mr.. Watterson's:: last visit to
Gramercy hall was not satisfactory. Perhaps
the venerable host forgot to put on the stays
which the newspapers say he wears, and I'M
expectedly tumbled on the floor at the mos,
inoppoi .une moment Of The intel lew, or did
not wear his best teeth and thus put himself
in position proof positive of the truth of the
occusation that he said ''noap" and ''yeap''
in the most indignifed and childish fashion.
A poem has Just appeared in the Chicago
Tribune, which is credited to MIR. Tilden
Its tone is SO melancholy and sad that one
cannot be blamed for believing that 1t was
penned when the news was received that
Watterson was an ignoble deserter. Here is
a sample verse:
''W am dead, and all my hearts distress
Lies in the sweet green earth's forgetfulness,
care not, love. if all the world go by
My quiet grave without word or sigh,
II 'hou but think of me With gentlenfss.
Worlds praise or blame Is nothing; hit or
miss.
Love is alone the measure Of our bliss,
And safe within hearts love my name will lie
When am dead"

FROM BROWNSVILLE.
Seventy-Seven New Cases---Only One Death
--River Still High--Preparing for
Storm.

Brownsville, September 5.-Seventy-seven
new cases and one death for the twenty-four
hours ending at 10 o'cloc this ming. Tn
fever in Matamoros is decreasing-only four
deaths in the last twenty-tour hours.
The river is still very high. A tropica |
stolm is reported west of Jamaica and nearing
the northwest Many people are preparing
themselves for the worst, in case it reaches
here, which all hope it will not, as it would
almost ruin the towns of Brownsville and
MatamoroS.
Fears are entertained that the river will
overflow its banks and cause much damage.
Light rains fell during the day and tonight.
The weather is cloudy with northerly winds,
lightning and thunder.
PROGRESS OF YELLOW JACK.
Brownsville, September 5.-There are re-
ported sixty-four new cases of yellow fever to-

LAREDO NEWS.
Yellow Fever at Santa Rosa--Railroad
Bridge Ruined--River on Big Boom.

Laredo, September 5.-There has been two
deaths from yellow fever at Santa Rosa, 10
miles east Of Brownsville, where there are 20
refugees. They have called for help. DR..
Mullins, from here, went down to give his as
sistance.
Ro:h railroad bridges are ruined and half
gone. The river is very high.
AS predicted in my dispatch of last night,
the raging Rio Grande carried away the main
portion of the International and Mexican-Na-
tional bridges. The International was first to
give away on account Of the immediate drift
that lodged against it, and as she went down
striking the Mexican National, broke the pill
ing as if they were reeds and leaving it total
wreck. The frame work of the Brush electric
light pier was also carried away by part of the
International bridge striking against it.
There were twenty five men at work on the
Mexican National bridge and seeing the drif,
coming down, ran ashore, barely escaping
with their lives. The International bridge
will be rebuilt as soon as The river subsidies.
The river is now fifteen feet above low water
mark and still rising. The cost Of the Inter
national bridge was about thirty thousand dol
lars.

Democratic DiscOrd in New York.

Chicago Times.
Ne York, August 3o.--The "family jars"
among the democracy are coming into the
foreground, and before the state conven-
ton is over it is probable they will be quite
as much of worry to the leaders of that
party as the Conkling Cornell trouble kas
been to the republicans. The most i'm
portant question for the moment has ref
erence 10 the designs of "Boss' Kelly. As
long as there was any possibility of Cornell
being the republican nominee for Cover
nor, this person had an excellent opportu-
nifty to pose as "balance of power and to
make his own terms. But now that that
possibility has faded away. the Tammany
chieftain has discovered that he has no
visible market That he will be excluded
from the democratic state convention
there is scarcely a doubt. If his boast
were we'll founded that he can command
6o.ooo votes, he could easily defeat whatever
nominations that body may put in the field.
The '.Irviug Hall' and "County" democracy,
however. do not admit that he has any such
following. They concede to him q, 900 at the
utmost, and they admit that with that as his
capital stock he can do good deal OF mis-
chief. How to prevent this without making
any humiliating concessions to Kelly is what
perpIexes them. The "boss" meanwhile is as
busy as bee. He was trying to persuade the
anti-mouopoly people to place certain men on
the state ticket which he shall name, in which
case he promises they will be triumphant!y
elected in spite of the other two parties. If
the anti-monopolists were only sure that Kelly
could deliver his 60, ooo votes to their order on
the day of election they might close bargain
with him. As it is. they are little dubious
and want to feel their way without committing
themselves. This is an outline Of the situation
to-day
