steamer Burned-Loss of Lives

MEMPHIS, March oO.-The Cincin. natl and New Orleans packet Golden City, en route from New Orleans to Cincinnati, was burned at the wharf this morning at 4:30 o'clock. Be- tween 30 and 30 lives were lost, prin. cipally women. .and children.
 Later.-The steamer Golden City, of the Southern Transportation com pany, when approaching the wharf this morning at half-p four o'clock, was discovered to be. on fire by sec- ond engineer Orrin Kelly, who inn mediately notified Capt. Purcell and the pilot on watch. The boat was headed for the shore and four min utes afterwards she touched the wharf at the foot of Beale street, where the coal fleet was moored. A line was hastily thrown and made fast to one of the coal barges. The current being swift it soon parted, and the burning steamer foated on down the river a mass of flames with many of the passengers and crew aboard, who were unable to reach the shore and were lost. The Golden City lett New Orleans Saturday, en route for Cincinnati, and carried a crew of about sixty hands and about forty cabin passengers, fifteen of whom were ladies, and nine, children. Her cargo consisted of 300 tons, among which was a lot of jute, in which it is supposed the fire origin ated. Among those known to be lost are, Dr. Monahan and wife, of Jackson, Ono; Mrs. Crarv and Miss Lucia Crary, of Cincinnati; w. Fl. Shernes, wife and two children, Oli- yer Wood and wife, of Henderson, Ky; Mrs. Anna Smith, Mass; Miss Campbell, Mrs. Helen Percival, and Mrs. L. k. kountzer and three chil- dren. Her books being lost, it is i'm possible to give complete list.
 STILL LATER.
 The second engineer gave the alarm, and remained at his post until cut of by the flames, which spread like lightning, sacrificing his life to save others. Nearly all the cabin passengers and deck crew of the steamer were saved. Stowe's circus was taken aboard at Vidalia, La., and six cargoes of animals and birds, together with the ticket and band wagon, tents and horses were lost. Marion Purcell was in the clerks of- fee when the alarm was sounded and he rushed through the cabin, bursting state-room doors awakening the pas sengers. So rapidly did the flames spread that within five minutes after discovering the fire, which broke out amid ships, the after part of the steamer was all ablaze. Those that were saved had to fee in their night clothes. When the burning steamer touched the wharf the fire communi- cated to the coal fleet and the tug Oriole, which were also burned.
 As near as can be ascertained twenty three ladies were aboard, but two of whom, so far as known, were rescued. 1t is estimated that thirty five lives are lost by the disaster.

TIE present state of lawlessness

TIE present state of lawlessness in Cochise county is something mosk deplorable. It reminds one forclbly of the Kansas border troubles of twenty years ago. Law-abiding citi- zens ask one another where the mat ter is going to end? All agree in one thing, and that is that law and order must be maintained. The event of yesterday, notwithstanding it cost the life of one good man, is a step that reflects great credit upon
 Messrs. Harley and Breckenridge and the special deputies who took part therein, and the opinion has been very freely expressed by our best citi- zens, that had the same heroic meas ures been adopted one year ago by the sheriff, the present deplorable state of affairs could not now have existed. MT. Harley believes that he is now on the right track to com. pletely unravel the mystery of the Peel assassination, and he is follow ing up the slender threads in his pos session wi;h a determination to get at the bottom of the affair and bring the guilty ones to deserved pun ishment. It is to be hoped that the beginning of the end has at last been reached. Upon one point all will agree, and that is that life and prop. erty must be made as secure in Co., chise county as in any other part of the territory, even if the last bad man has to travel the road that Hunt and
 Grounds were made to go yesterday.
