THE RECENT RIVER DISASTER
Loss OfLife Less Than at First
Expected.

The loss oflife by the burning Of
the Golden City it is now believed will
not exceed thirty persons, and per-
haps will not reach that number.
Among those lost and not hereto
fore reported was a man named J. G.
Combs, Of Henderson county, KY.
He was a Aatboat hand, from
Green river, and other fat
boatman on Che boat at the
time say they are satisfied the man
lost his life. Another fatboatman
was also lost in the person of Lon
Martin, of Alton, Ind. He had been
to DOnaldsouville, La, with load Of
hoop poles, and vas on his way home.
Among the fatboat people who were
saved, and who went on their way
homeward by the steamer James w.
Gaf last evening, were the following:

LEADING citizens Of Knoxville have
determined upon building a cotton
mill. A company has been organized
under a charter which permits the
employment Of $25O,OOO. The books
were opened last Thursday and stock
to the amount Of $lO5,OOO was taken
Immediately. No difficulty is antici-
pated in obtaining the full amount Of
stock. 1t is proposed to start in
operation 10000 spindles, with looms
sufficient to weave all the yarns spun
in the mills. This looks like business
and shows what can be done when
people have confidence in themselves
and in the future of the place in which
they live. Memphis has made quite a
start in the direction of manufactur-
ing, it is true, but is still far behind
other places in the South.

General Standefer, who lives about
five miles from Chattanooga, has Just
sent to the Tennessee Historical So.
ciety, through S. A. Key, Esq, of that
city, box containing a number o.
Indian relics, which are of consider
able historical value. They were
washed up by the food of 1867 or 1876
at Williams Island, in Hamilton
county, and consist of an earthern
water jug, a finely carved she'll, a
string of beads, small bones, etc.
These relics were on exhibition at
Chattanooga for some days recently at
the law Office of Key & Richmond,
where they attracted a good deal of
attention. General Standeier has the
thanks of the Society for his valuable
contribution. He is, as is we'll known,
a gentleman Of extensive reading and
culture, and his timely gift will be
placed in the capitol for future histo-
rians.

SHAME'S SEQUEL.
The Heroine of the Latest Sem
satiOn Wants 10 Reform.

Yesterday afternoons mail brought
a letter to Chief Davis from a brother
Of the girl Lula Bond, who recently
figured 50 conspicuOusly in the city
press, the Police Gazette and other
sporting papers. The brother began
by saying that he FIRST heard Of his
sisters shame through the Gazette,
and was bowed to the earth with grief.
He appealed to the Chief to see her
and read her letter he enclosed, hop
ing by that means to arrest her in her
mad career. His appeal was so manly
and SO strong that the Chief could not
resist it, and accordingly summoned
the hayward Lula to his Office. She
appeared this morning, wondering
what he could want, and so utterly
unprepared was she for anything like
letter from her brother that
she burst into tears at the
bare sight of the superscription
on the envelope. At first she declined
to read what he said, or to have il
read, and was finally persuaded to lis,
ten and bowling her head in her hands
sobbed as if her heart would break al
every word. Each rebuke, each wore
of reproach and every tender phrase
in the letter caused torrent of tear
to flow sometime after the Chief haC
finished. She was inconsolable, blu
suddenly brushed away her tears
smoothed down the wrinkles, ant
broke out into hearty laugh.

Chief.

A package closely rolled up and sup
posed to have belonged to some of the
people Of Stoves circus, was picked
up yesterday on the river bank near
Colonel Ensley's plantation below
here on the river. Among the things
are a number Of pictures, one of Colo.
mel Dan Rice, another of Mr.. Jno. T.
Steve, another of handsome lady,
probably circus rider, two others Of
gentlemen, one Of beautiful little
girl, probably the lost daughter of Mr..
Stowe. Possibly, however, the pic
lures belonged to other passengers.
They can be had by the proper per-
sons at the LEDGER Office. Strange
to say, the pictures are perfectly dry.

Mr.. Trewolla, one Of the surviving
showmen, who is still among us, lost a
pocketbook with sixty or seventy dol.
lars in it, on the burned steamer
Golden City. He had few dollars in
his vest pocket on his person, which
he used to pay the hotel bills of his
comrades who left last night. Upon
a settlement with the landlord last
evening, he had dollar to his credit,
and was informed by the proprietor
that he and Mr.. Frank. Stowe might
remain there until this evening with
out additional charge. The company
was charged only dollar a day,
which of course is not full hotel rates.
The gentleman alluded to we're among
those who partook of breakfast at the

In writing up a notice of the Mil.

firm of Brosnan & Rich, the contract
ors who put up the buildings, was
incidentally mentioned, this without
seeing these gentlemen. A slight error
occurred, but it is worth mentioning
yet. Their entire work was done in
twenty-oight working days. though
they we're fifty days at it, including
Sundays and detentions by the food
aud other causes. This was doubtless
the quickest work ever known in
Memphis. In the same connection it
might have been mentioned, and
would if the fact had been known, that
Mr.. Z Q. Jones was the architect Of
the building. This is guarantee Of
a good plan and construction. Mr..
Jones architecture is to be seen all
over this city, aud it always gives sat
isfaction.
