boy in the chest and knocked him out of the way OF
the wheels. After some little time he managed TO
get OH to his feet and was led home by friend In
considerable pain.
Two young ladies rushed out of the Grand Centrai
Depot last night at o'clock and hurrledly entered
a Fourth-ave. car They were the Misses Whaley, OF
Twer ty- third St, who living near Sing Sing
this summer To TRIBUNE reporter one OF
them said: "Did the steamboat disaster
occur above or below Twenty second-st.p When
told where il occurred she said thankfully; Then
mother is safe. She was expected on the boat and
when the news of the disaster reached Sing sing IL
gave no particulars further than that sixty lives
we're lost, and we came down to learn the truth OF
the matter. Some of our family have travelled on
we preferred her to the companion boat. There
was great excitement at Sing Sing when left there
at o'clock"
At Bellevue Hospital early last evening there was
a rumor that the dead body Zone of the victims OF
the explosion had been directly removed to Bethune-
ST. Investigation by TRIBUNE reporter resulted IN
the discovery that the only basis for the rumor was
the fact that Mrs. Herman. living ut Greenwich
and Bethune SITS, had announced IN the morning
her intention to 20 to Tarrylown yesterday stet-
noon on the Riverdse. When her son, joseph
Herman, who is a Waterman LOT
heard of the accident, he supposed his mother was
board and at once instituted inquiries In every
direction. On telegraphng TO TarrytoWn ne wac
delighted to find his mother had reached her dcst
nation in safety, having gone up river on the
Chrysenah instead of starting on the Rive rdale rs

CoNFEnEnATE CAMP LIEE--- Wo hnvo
had the pleasure Of cxaihiliiug a little
book recently published nnder the title
of scamp Life Of Confederate Boy
'of Dratton's Brigade, Lomgstrccts
Corps, G. S. A.'-bcimg in the form Of
letters written by Lieutenant Richard
Lewis, of Walkers Regiment, during
The war. The book is simply the col
lection Of these letters just as they
were written by one making no pre-
tensions to authorship aptl eviIeutly
having no thought that his youthful
productions would ever appear IN
print. The Nritcr tells, in plain,
unaffected and therefore strong style,
OF his own experiences, and incident
ally OF those Of. that branch Of the
Confederate Army to which llc be-
1ongcd, from his arrival at the camp Of
instruction in Colulnbia in April, 1861 e,
to his capture, alter being wotndrd,
at Point Of Rocks .in October, 1864
lie likewise gives some lively sketches
of his prison life IL The Chcsnprakc
Female College,, near Fortress Monroe.
The book is readable ut the outset
from It's very simplicity, and ;ir read
CT will soon find himself willingly
following the youthful chronisIcr a
he goes IN the line of duty'to different
fields OF danger and difficulty in Vir-
ginia and in tho West. The reader
will, perhaps, gather from the narra-
tive no great facts of history, nor be
led to: philosophizc upon the tactical or
strategic skill of the commanders.
But he will get an inside view OF inc
life of the Confederate soldier in the
field, which will not be Gouint, in vol
nmcs Of broader scope and more pre-
tcntious character. For this reason,
If for no other which might present
itself to the reader Of the book, the
Scamp Life Of n Confederate Boy"
willibe much enjoyed by old soldiers
Of the war, more especially those OF
tho commands Of whose movements
and fortunes it Processes to tell. The
general Ieader will likewise find much
in the book to make it readable, and il
should find q largo circulation. 1t is
nn octave volume OF 113 pages, and is
printed in the handsome style that
marks all tho work that comes from
the Ncacs and Cos,ierbook presses.
