The school Fund.

A petition is being circulated ask ing that new school house be built. We understand that representations are made that if the money now in the treasury is not disposed of, it will at once be turned over to the Territo- rial fund, which is not the case. This money is always carried to account of schools in the county, and never di- verted. We have now large and comfortable school house, which it is proposed to sell, but what would it bring? Certainly not a tithe of its cost, nor do we believe that people are willing to be taxed in order to have the money thrown away. We will see who of our school trustees are will ling to shoulder the proposition.
 On January 7th there was in the school fund for District No. 1, Gila county, $2,603.31, out of which will have to be paid the salaries and incl dental expenses of the scholastic year, which will not be less than $225 per month. The money now on hand for District No. is not more than suti- cient to keep the school open until the tax returns are in next fall.
 The total fund now on land, of the four school districts of the county, is $5,077.24.

BY HON. WILLIAM eooLD.

There is in the Portland Custom house a
well filled log book with this commence
ment.
"a journal of a voyage from Baltimore to
a port in France and back in the good
schooner Sro by D. Gray, commander.
May God send us a prosperous voyage"
Notwithstanding this pious ejaculation,
the voyage was one of disaster to the end.
The schooner must have been a large one as
she had heavy armament of II and is
Founders, and carried topsail and topgallsnt
yards on both masts which are mentioned
in the sailing of the vessel. The Siro got out
of Chesapeake Bay on the goth of Decem-
Der, 1912. On the 23d the vessel was over
taken by violent thunder storm although
it vas nearly mid-winter. Its fearful effect
on the vessel and crew are we'll described by
the Captain who says he kept the journal

came most violent shock of lightning like
report Of a cannon, which burst on the star
board side, near the breech of an Is pound
er, and in its way killed one man who was
on the maintopsail yard, and he fell over
board. II also struck another man who to
all appearance was dead, hanging in the
rigging, his heal downwards-sent hands
up and brought him down and found he
had life in him, but burnt in a most shock
ing manner. Sent other hands up who

tinually full For the safety of the vessel

A the gale began TO abate."
The night following came another gale
which carried away the settings of the fore
shrouds at the masthead, and sprung the
foremast The foreyard and topmast could
not be sent down, but were cut loose and
came down by the run. By the glare of the
lightning, tackles were got on the foremast
by which it was savel. The remaining two
II Founders and all the shot were thrown
overheard. 1t was three days before all the
fore rigging was in place and set up, and
sail set on the foremast. After a very
rough passage the schooner arrived in the
river "Gironde'' on the 14th of January.

THE WRECKED STEAMER.
Third Days Proceeding of the Hnvesliga-
tion-The Captain of thc Glaucus' EndIs-
nant Denial.

BosToN. Feb. THE third days investiga-
ton into the City of Columbus disaster began
this morning.
Thomas Leary, fireman, testified as fol-
lows: The ship struck at about 333 in the
morning by the clock in the engine room. He
thought he saw buoy on the port bow after
daylight.
William G. Spauldng, purser of the wreck
ed vessel, next testified to awakening passen-
gers until he had to save himself. He tried to
get on the life raft, bat it was washed away be-
fore he could get to it. He did not preserve
his passenger list but from memory he could
state that there were 81 paying passengers, and
five or six children under four years of age.
He was assigned to toe port boat No. 3. He
was in charge of it. He lrIed TO get the boat
beat lowered in drill nor did he ever take part
in any drill. He could not say he was familiar
with the boats, although he al done some
yacht ng. He knew Second Officer Harding,
who YVES in every sense temperate. He
could hot swear that there was watchman
ia the saloons that night. He could not get
ont of his boat because of the ships extreme
listing.
Andrew f. Pitman, steward of the City of
Colum bus. testified that Furbsr Hanson one
of the alters whom he employed, had been
assigned to act as wAtchman in the saloons on
the night of the wreck. He was called by
Hanson who told him that the ship was
aground. He related some already published
incidents of the wreck that occurred in the s.-
loon, aud said that after he went on deck he
saw no ohicers except the qaartermaster. He
made no attempt to lower the boats. He was
assigned 10 he life raft but did not go to IT, az
it was already full. Took TO the rigging, where
he remained until rescued eleven hours after.
Saw the buoy on the starooard side after the
ship struck. Did not know whether the sec
ond rsate was iu his room the night before the
vessel sailed or not. Kept a bar on board for
passengers, and kept Intoxicating liquors. The
second mate never Game to him fer quors, and
the captain never got any liquor from him
He was never forbidden to supply the passen-
gers and crew with liquor. Members OF the
crew never got liquor from him except in a
case of sickness. He kept the bar as agent for
the ship.
United States Inspector Burnham, who was
quoted yesterday as having stated taat the
captain of the steamer Glaucus informed him
thai he (the captain) saw the signals OF distress
from the City of Columbus, but did not heed
them, lot wishing to Re delayed, now denies
making any statement that could posi- ly be SO
construed. The captain OF tho GlAucus also in-
dignantly denies having said any such thing.
