EIGHT LIVES LOST.
The Steamer Rebecca Everingham Burned to
the Waters Edge.

COLUMBUS, April 3-The steamer Rebecca
Everingham, Captain George Whiteside, burned,
this morning to the waters edge, at Fitzgerald
Landing forty miles below the city. The fire
originated in the stern of the steamer and it is
thought from electric lamp sparks The passen-
gers saved escaped in their night clothes. The
following is the list of the lost:
Mrs Evan, of Cuthbert, Ca; Miss Simpson,
Fort Gaines, Ga; Julia Anderson, Richard Cole
man, pantryman; Adolph Thomas, fireman; A.
E. Stephens and Randolph Singer, deck-hands,
Bob Griffith, stevedore.
Captain George H, Whiteside commander.
was painfully burned All officers did their duty.
The conduct of the pilot George P. Lapham.
and son, lad of fourteen years is especially
commended. They remained on board and ma
terially assisted in landing the passengers.
Among the missing are a colored woman and
child, names unknown; two white men, un-
known, and D. D. Williams, of Lagrange.
Three hundred and seven bales of cotton and
small miscellaneous freight were burned The
boat was valued at $24, 900, and is a total loss;
insurance. There were sixteen cabin and nine
deck passengers on board. The steamer be-
longed to the Central line, and piled the Chatta-
The mate was in command, and with George
Lapham, pilot and Isaac Carey, dngineer, are
highly commended by the passengers for their
efforts to save life. E. W.Williams, of Lagrange,
was dangerously burned. Two hundred and
thirty y-four bales of cotton, owned by H.
L. Hull & Co.. were consumed; also, forty
seven bales owned by A Hutchens, of Howard's
Landing, No insurance Twenty bales were
owned by R. w. Ledsinger; no insurance The
boat and cargo was a total loss. Part of the
crew of the steamer reached Columbus tonight.
They state that a strong gale of wind was blow
ing when the cotton on deck ignited, it is
supposed. by a spark from an electric lamp,
and the flames spread so rapidly that it was i'm
possible to control it, and in moment it ex-
tended through to the cabin. An order was
given to Immediately land her on the Georgia
side, which was done in two minutes The pas
sengers jumped from the cabin deck and roof
to the land. The cabin filled quickly with
smoke and flames that the passengers had to es-
cape to the roof in their night clothes. The pas
sengers were all aroused on the first alarm by
the officers All escaped but two ladies in the
cabin, who were supposed to have been suffo-
Gated by the smoke. The boats books and pa
pers were lost with the passengers baggage.

In all this region the roads, especially through
woodlands, were absolutely impossible until the
aX-man had cleared the way and it IS yet ex
tremely difficult to travel through those parts
save on foot or by team through fields covered
with rails and other debris. On all farms in
the path of the cyclone fences are torn to the
very bottom rail and scattered from twenty to
forty rods from where they stood, and it will
require weeks to put even these in re
pair, that farmers may proceed with
spring work. which is now upon
them. This well-improved country of
but few days ago will for years bear the mark
of the destructive storm, in the inferior build
ings and broken down forests and orchards.
Failure of crops in this locality for the past two
successive years makes the present loss a calami
ty, and people, unless assisted, must suffer from
want of food and clothing until Providence
blesses them with an abundant har-
vest. But already relief is being
sent, and those without homes are
being removed to houses outside of
the storm line, where they are being kindly
provided for by those more fortunate than they,
until temporary buildings for their accommoda
ton can be erected. A meeting is in progress in
this city tonight, making arrangeme nts to send
