respectable people OF this neighborhood,

influenced by them.

Three More Bodies Picked Up at This
City Yesterday-The Investigation.

Three More Bodies Picked Up nj This
City Yesterday-The Investigation.
There IL very little to say Of novel ma
ture in regard to the Scioto disaster. The
search for bodies continues with undated
vigor, and each day some of the bodies OF
the missing are found. Yesterday morn
ing, about $50 o'clock, some boys found
the body of Lincoln Beardsmore, boy,
floating near the docks, and brought it over
to this city, where Justice Philips held an
inquest and turned the body over to his
father, who took il home at IL o'clock. The
10y OF the old man at the recovery OF the
remains of his son alternated with his
grief at his loss. and varying emotions strug-
gled for the mastery for some time. The
body was horribly bloated and distigured;
but the clothing and other marks rendered
identification very easy.
Another hoater was found early in the
morning, near the Top mill, by some boys
and towed down TO the wharf where 1t was
taken in charge by Justice Philips, who
held an inquest and turned it over to
Mendel & Co, for shipment to Wellsyille.
Justice Webb, of Centre district, also held
an INQUEST on the decomposed remains OF
woman, Mrs. Emerlfng, which was
caught by some one as 1t was float
ing past the city. This body,
together with that of the unknown man,
was sent to Wellsville, in charge OF Mr..
Beardsmore, who had charge of his son.
These were all the bodies recovered yes
terday, so far as we have learned.
Carpenters were at work yesterday with
the Welcome, putting in bulkheading in
the Scioto, and she will more than likely
be brought down to this city this evening
or tomorrow, and go on the Cocks for re-
pairs.
The owners of the Scioto and Tomas are
both busily at work hunting up evidence
against the investigation, which begins to-
day, under the charge Of Captain John Feb
renbatch, Supervisor of the Seventh Dis
trict, at the Custom House.
The Tomas is still tied up at the wharf,
Captain Inglebright having concluded to
let her remain there until the result of the
investigation, and to hold the Transports
ton Company responsible for any damage
he may sustain on account of her detention.
The reports that he had made an assign
ment are all gratuitous, the only basis for
such a rumor being the fact that he Sc

METEORIC PHENOMENA
As Seen After the storm Of Last Night
I'm This civ

Retween seven and eight O'Clock last
night some very extraordinary meteoric
phenomena were observed all over the
heavens. A little before that hour a shower
of some minutes duration, accompanied by
thunder and lightning passed over the city,
and this shower was followed by the phe
nomena mentioned. The sky was almost
entirely obscured by clouds at the time,
strata upon strata, aud the setting sun
breaking through heavy mass of clouds
in the West illuminated these strata in a
wonderful manner The most astonishing
combination of colors was produced and
the air had the appearance of illumination
by a steady current of electricity. The pre-
dominating colors were a very subdued
orange and yellow, but beautiful shades of
light green and mellow red were noticeable.
Some Of the local meteorologists say the
scene was certainly novel to them, and
none of them remember parallel.
After the storm yesterday evening, dur
ing the time of the brilliant heavenly spec
tacle, there was very marked electrical
current, causing the telephone bells to
ring, the fire alarm at the Capitol to strike
in very confusing manner, and calling
out the entire department to North Wheel
ing. The telegraph wires were also very
much affected by the supercharged condi-
Iion of the atmosphere.
