MASS, JAN "A.
Divers visited the wreck OF the City of
Columbus to-day. They report all the
works of the vessel gone, not a single state
room remaining on deck. Even heavy iron
rods used as stays between houses On the
port and starbOard sides were bent and
torn from their places, while the deck itself
" s broken and open. Heavy timbers lay
in various shapes beneath the broken sur
face of the deck, preventing divers from
going into the hold No bodies were seen
BY tue divers. No attempt was made to
find bodies in the steerage, the Oily descent
of the divers being in the after pare Oh the
vessel. Tonight a terrible gale is blowing
across the sound, and vast quantities OF
wreckage are coming ashore at Falmouth.
1t is expected that bodies will come ashore
tonight. Seafaring men say Lodies now in
the water or in the wreck, i. no. recovered
in q day or two, will he completely de-
voured by sand-eels. SOundings establish
the fact that the c~an-buoy was set at least
q quarter of q mile toward the inshore and
the ledge Of DEVILS Bridge extended Az
yards outside of where the can-buoy was
originally set, but this fact does not relieve
officers of the City of Columbus, as the
boat lies near half q mile inshore from the
can-buOy.

Shortly after noon to-day the familyS nj

gin, were Mortified at the appearance in
their midst of a bloody apparition. fThi,
proved to be Mrs. William Combs, the wife
of a neighbor. The woman had staggereJ
from her home, about 100 yards distant
leaving a bloody trail on the SHOW. She
was frightfully mutilated about the necl
and shoulder The fingers of her left hanc
were severed and her arms badly gashed
In N of her mutilated hands the woman
carried a butcher-knife with an eight-i1ch
blade and both edges sharpened. She Mas
exhausted and incoherent, but managed {
tell the Buzzells that her husband had as
saulted her, and when he supposed he had
succeeded in killing her had cut his own
throat. Coombs was found lying on th.
floor in a chamber of his house with his
head nearly severed from his body. The
room gave evidence of "a fearful struggle.
Tables and chairs were tipped over. shred>
of cloth were strewn about the walls,lIhe
bed-clothing and furniture of the apArt-
ment bespatterrd with Hood, and the en-
