Il sad Tragedy.

of the american Dredge Company's
dredge Ferdinand de Lesseps now ly-
ing in Fox river repairing, on the Bird
July. The circumstances of the case
AS near as can be learnt, are as toll
lows -
P. F. Hayes the Captain of the
dredge was called to stop a disturb
ance on the main deck, and his wife
who had her room on the upper or
hurricane deck fearing trouble 10 her
husband, followed him with her child,
Is months old, in her arms. The
parties who were creating the trouble
had in the meantime got themselves
in a fever, and by the time Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes reached the deck, shots
from several revoIvers were flying
across the deck. Mrs. Hayes, to
avoid the bullets, ran to The forward
part of the drelge, and in %endravour-
ing to get to some cover, fell with the
child into what is termed The we'll, or
that part of the dredge where now
the buckets work, lifting the mud
from the river bottom. Mrs. Hayes
in falling, still having the child in her
arms, must have gone under the bot
tom of the dredge and have released
the child from her arms. Search was
at once made for the bodies, and Mrs.
Hayes was found at daylight of the
All, and the child at one o'clock i'll
the afternoon. Mr.. H. B. Sladen,
President of the Dredge Company,
was on board when the body Of Mrs.
Hayes was found, and had made ar
rangemen's for the burial of Mrs.
Hayes when the child was found. 1t
was considered prudent by the father
to bury both at one time, therefore
the child was placed in the coffin
with it's mother. The father upon
seeing the chiId by its mother and
both dead, was entirely overcome.
lie excused himself for a moment to
90 to his room. and Immediately after
a pistol shot was heard, and upon in
vestigation it was fou"d that he had
committed su eide, having shot himself
through the head.
Mrs. Hayes was a well educated
woman, being from a convent IN Gal
weston, Texas, but has been living
with her people in CallaO, where they
were married some years ago.
Her family name was Roach, and her
mother IS sill alive in Peru. Mr..
Hayes is well known and a native Of
st. Louis. He was Il locomotive
engineer by profession, aud about 40
years of age, Mrs. Hayes being about
~. Many will regret the occurrence,
and their friends South will grieve TO
hear of the untimeIy end of the whole
family. Mrs. Hayes and the child
were bIried late on 'he afternoon ut
the 4t:l, and he was buried on Sunday
the 9Th; all were inferred st Monkey
Hill. His effects are in the hands of

JACKSONVILLE. FLA, Nov 10, 1885: We
arrived here last Saturday, fourteen days from
Belfast. We had rather rough passage, but
having a good vessel, the Charlotte T. StDlev,
Capt. Il. q. Bartlett, we made an average pas
sage. There were only some three days of fair
wind, and we were becalmed thirty hours off
Charleston, s. c. Capt. Bartlett says this is the
longest passage he has ever made to this port;
but it was not his fault for he is man who
takes advantage of every favorable flaw of
wind. Lumber freights are down to hard pan,
and there is not much chance for vessels TO
make money.
This place is much larger than | expected to
find 1t. 1t has population of about twenty
thousand of whom nearly one-half arc colored.
The population has Increased about one thOus-
and per annum during the past five years. T he
climate is fine. The days are lovely, but a dis
agreeable dew falls at night. The business Is
mostly on Bay street, which is nearly mile
long and has splendid blocks on both sides
nearly three fourths its length. The block
built by our tOwnsman. c. Il. Hazeltine is a
very nice one, and an ornament to the place.
