ALONE COTTONWOOD.


Standing on the south bank Of the Arkan-
sas river, twenty miles ives, of Fort Dodge,
and close to the old Cimarron crossing, was
a monster cottonwood tree, known all over
the west, by old piainsmen, army officers
and western travellers Of q quarter Of CEN
fury ago as "The Lone Cottonwood" A
monster tree, Of more than century's
growth, it stood out upon the broad plains
far away irom any compa lion, affording a
cool and refreshing retreat for MANY a weary
traveller, witnessing in the lifetime the
silence OF the uninhsbited plains, the first
faint light Of q dawning civilization, the
steady march Of the pilgrim and his OK
team, and finally the great Santa Fe road

4 STEAMER GOES TO RoosT.
Steamer Thomas Cornell Strikes
and Goes To Pieces, on the
Hudson River.
NV H.xRrRG. Wy. March :

New HAMBURG, n. Y, March %.
Steamer Thomas Cornell passed here slow
ly, in the fog. at 8 10 last evening, going
south. At $50 z. NJ. she struck Dams
Kramar Point, on the north side. with full
force, her bows blowing up the rocks to a
height of fifteen feet, with terrific concus-
sion.
At the time, several fremen and dec X
hands who were off watch were asleep in the
forecastle, and although her hull, from the
the top of her copper on her bow, was torn
for distance Of thirty feet aft. they all es-
capped to the deck without injury.
Soon her stern swayed out into the stream
and she broke in two aft of her boilers and
the water poured into her on all sides.
She sunk, aft, to her hurricane deck, when
her bow slipped back two feet. In the con-
cussi0n the mate was slightly injured.
Propeller John L. Hasbrouck went along
side the sunken steamer and took her passen-
gers, about one hundred in NUMBER and her
crew off in safety.
The officers went to Newburg and returned
to the wreck this morning The steamers
stern lies in 40 feet of water, and it is thought
she will slide off the rocks and sink. Her
decks are out of sight.
She has been running about week.
Boatmen believe she will be total wreck.
Loss estimated at S2OO, 200.
New YORK, March 2Sth.
Further reports of the loss of steamer
Thomas Cornell show that the fog was very
dense. The place where she struck is where
large body of rocks project into the Hudson
river from the west shore, for a considerable
distance.
Her hull first broke forward of the engine,
but subsequently again bi oke, aft of the en-
CINE.
The passengers, among whom were few
ladies and children, behaved admirably. A
ladder was placed from the boat to the rocks
and many went down it. Others took to the
boats and remained in the vicinity, while
others still STAYED on the vessel.
At 8 o'clock the John l.. Hasbrouck arrived,
taking all the passengers and bringing them
to this city.
The steamer was built in 1861, and rebuilt
IN 1879, and was represented to be one of the
staunchest boats on the Hudson river. She
was 300 feet long, Sc feet beam, 10 feet hold.
Her cylinder was - inches. She had IL
foot stroke, and was 1870 tons. Her COM
mander was William Henry Cornell. and she
had crew of three other officers and twenty
men. The Cornell line, to which she be-
long, has taken steps to remove the engine
and boiler.
The loss to The company is $3.50, 900. She
was insured against fire, but there was no
marine insurance on her. The cargo was
valued at $1,000, and consisted principally of
butter from Ulster and Delaware counties
POUGHKEEPsIE, March 2S.
Samuel Caykendall half owner of the
wrecked Cornell says the blame rests entirely
upon the pilots who, he says, disobeyed a
long standing peremptory order never to at
tempt to run the boat in fog.
