WRIGHT ON THE STAND.
HE CANNOT ACCOUNT FOR THE
GREAT DISASTER.

The Examination Proceeding Before the
Board of Inspectors of Steam Vessels
The Captain BelittIes the Efficiency of
the Bright Lights at Gay Head.
BOSTON, Feb. 5.-An official investiga-
ton into the causes which led to the
wrecking of the steamship City of Column
bus of Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard.
January Is, was begun this morning be-
fore Messrs. Burnham and Savage. con-
stituting the Board of Inspectors of steam
vessels for this district. The rooms of
the board were crowded with friends and
relations of victims OF the disaster.
Capt. Wright was represented bv
Messrs. Russell q Russell as counsel,
and he was present in person. The ex-
animation of witnesses was conducted in
a catech1stlcal form by the Inspectors.
The first witness examined was Cant. S.
h. Wright, Of the unfortunate vessel. Mr..
Burnham stated to Capt. Wright. before
beginning the examination, that there
were no allegations of misconduct or neg
!ect, but the presumption was that, iudg-
ing from the character of the wreck, there
must nave been such misconduct, care
Iessness or neglect.
CAPT. wRIGHT's STATEMENT.
N"PV' " IlSnJ gave MS professional MS
tory, and described the course of events
on his vessel before the disaster. and the
circumstances of the shipwreck, and in
the course OF his replies said:
cannot tell you any reason why the ship
struck where she did. Higher Power will
have to determine that. do not know where
the blame should rest. Gay Head light
amounts to no light. The lights amount to
nothing unless seen at distance. Bright
lights confuse when close to them. l do not
know whether the second mate was confused
or not. Boston light has run many pilots
ashore because of its being so bright. Bright
lights do not affect the bearings. however, al
though have often been confused by them.
from where l gave the last order the vessel
must have gone southwest half west to have
reached the place where she struck.
The vessel now heads nearly west
southwest. He had previously stated
that his last order to the mate was to
steer west southwest.

Strange Freak of Young and Beauti-

Wheeling, w. Va, special of Febru
ary 3, to the New York Times, saws:
''Society circles in MoundsviIIe, Marshall
county, are badly torn up over the elope-
ment of Miss Nellie Haziett, a talented
and beautiful young lady, the belle of the
town and the heiress to considerable
property, with a tramp. The Iatter's
name is James Howard, and a more dis
gusting and repulsiYe specimen of the
class to which he belongs could not be
found IN long days search. The cause
OF Miss HaZlett's infatuatiOn. elopement
and marriage with the knight Of the road
cannot even be surmised by her friends,
and as she uniformly refuses to make any
disclosures, the matter bids fair to re-
main in the dark. The begin
ming OF this romance is detailed
as follows: About a month AGO
Howard was engaged by Miss Hazlett's
uncle, at whose house Nellie was living
her uncle being her guardian. to do odd
chores about the place. Miss Nellie
naturally saw much of him during this
time, and once or twice within the past
two weeks her uncle observed her in con-
versatiOn with Howard and advised her
to keep away from him. She apparently
needed MS ADVICE. and the family gave the
matter no further thought until they were
astounded on Friday evening by the dis
cOvery that Nellie and Howard were both
missing. A search was at once begun.
but nothing could be heard of the run
aways beyond the fact that they had taken
an east bound Baltimore and Ohio train.
sunday the couple turned up at the resi-
dence of the uncle, to whom Nellie bland
lY stated that she and Howard were mar
ried and intended to settle down. Init
mate friends of the family are inclined 10
think the girls object in eloping was to
pique a recreant lover.

not care whether the Governor liked his

treatment. He did not state what had
passed between the Governor and him

cal question OF equal Importance to that
now before the convention. They
represented great population and an
enormous area of country They come

The Steamers Safe Secured-VOrIx of the
Wreckers-The Cargo to be Raised.
The Boston Heralds Woods Hole
special says the tug Confidence, with a
lighter in tow, visited the City of Column
bus wreck Sunday. There was only a
moderate sea running, and Duncan, the
diver, went down in her amidships. Little
resulted from the first visit. A second
visit was more successful. The safe be-
longing to the steamer was secured. 1t
was found on the starbOard side of the
steamer, abaft the mainmast. and must
have been washed aft at least 70 feet.
Later attempts resulted in the finding of
nothing OF value; but, as this days work
was preliminary and to allow the diver to
get the lay of the land below decks. it
was considered satisfactory. On Monday
the cargo decks will be thoroughly
worked, and it is thought much of the
cargo will be secured. The steamer lies
IN about the same position as she did a
week ago, but the work of the waves and
individual wreckers from the shore has
resulted IN completely stripping her of
everything removable. The State police
0flcers made search upon Gay Head for
lost property, but succeeded in finding
only two Yalises. Mr.. Duncan the diver
thinks that the bodies of some ladies NAV
be found forward with the cargo.
