illustrious characters then on the
stsge OF action, and especially
General Rufus Putnam, originator
and defender Of the Land Act and its pro-
visions.
The most interesting feature Of the day

descendants of the pioneers who first set
tied in this vicinity. The group was
timely arranged on the stage at City Hall,
where the exercises took place, and were
photographed by Cadwallader. Speeches
were made by Governor Foster, Genera

OF the first merchant who settled in Mari
eta, and to him was assigned the subject
Pioneer Merchants" and well did he per-
form his part. Five years hence the Asso-

Special Dispateh to the Sunday Register.
PARKERsBURG April HAIRY Kramer, a
prominent German of this city, was
drowned in the Kanawha river this after
noon. In attempting to cross in skih
loaded with boxes, the strong current
swept the boat against the head OF some
barges lying along the shore. The skif and
its contents and Mr.. Kramer were instantly
drawn under the bsrges. After passing
under them his arm was seen extended
above the water, but before assistance could
reach him he sank to rise no more. His
body has not been found, and it will likely
not be for some time, as the current prob
ably swept it out into the OHIO.
Parkersburg is shrouded in gloom over
the sad occurrence, as Mr.. Kramer was
highly esteemed by sll who knew him.
He leaves a large family to mourn his un-
timely death.

The JEANETTE INQUIRY.
Questions SubmItted by Dr. Collins
Read TO the Witnesses.

WAsuNCToN. April 6.-The Jeannettc
Court Of Inquiry convened to-day. The
Judge Advocate announced be had received
a communication from DR.. Collins, "nclos-
ing thirty.Gve questions which he desired
to have put to the witnesses.
Fireman Bartlett was called, and the
questions read to him. In reply, witness
stated that Collins ;deceased) had held the
position Of an officer on board the Jean.
ncatte. He was saluted rs such and was
always treated with the same courtesy as
the other officers. The witnesses never
heard Captain DeLong speak.ar unkind
word to Collins. So far as witness,
knew Collins on the retreat was
treated by men and othclrs
with the same consideration shown
other officers. After the Jeannette was
lost. and when their party reached the land,
there was discussion as to the fate ot the
other parties, and witness volunteered to
attempt The Sssavh for them at once: but
was prevented by the general opinion OF
the whole party, based upon the facts that
we had no ClOtlirg, no provisions, no trans
portation, and no Snowledge OF the country.
Mr. DannehOwer offered TO go, and did go.
Witness was not aware of any trouble
between
Mr.. Melville and MT. Collins.
In answer to a question whether If he had
been in command of the party he would
have waited as long as Mr.. Melville did
before trying to discover the others, the
witness replied, 81 made proposition to
move. which was discussed by the whole
party, Manson aud l sSreeing to draw
Leach upon.a sled, as ho was unable to
walk owing 10 frost bites, bat q conclusion
was srrived at by Melville and Danenhow'
er that il would be impracticable and i'm
possible.
Objection was made and sustained to the
question, Have you any reason ts believe
Collins had upon bis person any papers
other than a small uote book?' also to the
question, did Collins tell you he had upon
his person letters addressed 10 parties IN
New York All the papers found upon
Collins body were turned over to Melville.
Witness had expected from his converse
tion with Collins that there would be more
papers than were found on his body. Wit
ness was of the opinion that the trip to
Belun might have been made sooner, but
! ii would have been attended with great
suffering and hardships. 1t is believed,
! taking all things into consideration. every
! thing was done that could have been done
! to rescue belongs party.
