SIXTEEN LIVES LOST.


sh0A on Hciyhead.
LvERPoo1., Jan. IT, The fears entertain
ed yesterday for the safety Of the packet
steamer Admiral Moorsom, plying between
Holyhead and Dublin, prove to have been
fully justified. The steamer came in COLI
sion with the American ship Santa Clara,
from Liverpool for New York, ard was
sunk. The Santa Clara landed twelve of
the steamers crew and two Of the passen-
gees at Holyhead. The lost steamer was
staunch- vessel of some 800 tons bur-
then, and was one of the feet Of freight and
passenger steamers owned by the London
and Northwestern Railway and run in con-
nection with their train service The
steamer carried crew of between twenty
and thirty persons, twelve passengers,
chiefly droyers, and 200 head of cattle. The
captain of the Santa Clara reports that his
vessel came into collision with the Admiral
Moorsom on Thursday evening off Holy
head. The Santa Clara was but little dam
aged, hut the Admiral Moorsom, witch was
struck nearly amidship, sank almost imme-
diately. The captain and crew of the San
ia Clara did all in their power to ssve the
lives of those on board the sinking vessel,
but a heavy sea was on at the time of the
collision, and twelve of the crew and four
passengers were drowned The remainder
OF the crew and passengers of the Inflated
packet not rescued by the Santa Clara were
picked up by another vessel, and are sup
posed to be safe.
Later accounts from Holyhead state that
the Admiral Moorsom had eleven passen-
gers on board, and that only two OF them
are saved.

.ntatlon to Brother Barnes.

1t has been the custom for the past
twelve years to present to the Past Master
of Jersey City Lodge, No. IA, F. and A. NJ,
a badge of office as a token Of services rem
dered and brotherly love. On Friday
evening last, at regular meeting of the
Lodge, Brother Henry Barnes, the retiring
Past Master, was presented with beauti-
full Past Masters jewel This particular
jewel was made to order by Brother Henry
Altheumer, and was pronounced to be
most beautiful and elegant, costing nearly
500. The presentation speech was made
in behalf Of the Lodge by Mr.. L. F. Lyme
in his usual pleasant and able manner.
The recipient, although gratifed and some
what surprised, was equal to the occasion,
and responded with appropriate remarks.
An old adage that sit is more worthy to give
than to receive" may apply to this case
These tokens of friendship when so
worthily bestowed tend to cement the ties
that bind the brothers of the Mystic Tie
in friendship and brotherly love, one to
another.

The board ID Finance neaI.

The deal in the Board of Aldermen for
the creation of new Board of Finance
continues to be the chief topic of discuss
sion among the local politicians, and from
time to time some new points as to the
basis of the combination crop out. 1t is
said that Alderman Furman expects TO be
made City Comptroller by the new Board,
and the acting Board of Finance in reap
pointing City Collector Love for three
years term went on the assumption that
another of the Aldermen was to be made
City Collector. The appointment of Mr..
Love was designed to defeat the consum-

also said that ex-Justice r. B. Seymour is
to be made Corporation Counsel, and Asa
W. Dickinson has aspirations in the direc-
ton of the City Attorneyship.

Roberts, of the pennsylvania Railroad
Company, returned from the meeting of
the trunk-line Presidents in New York
yesterday in very indignant mood over
the action of the other companies in the
emigrant pool. When he arrived at his
Office this morning, he had his war paint
on, and after consultation with officers of
the company retaliatory move was de-
cided upon. By 10 o'clock orders were
issued from the passenger department re-
ducing the emigrant rate from New York
and Philadelphia to Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati to one dollar. the same rate to
apply to intermediate points, and corre-
spending rates to points beyond, which
makes the price OF an emigrant ticket to
Kansas City by the Pennsylvania Railroad
So, and to Sanfrancisco $685. "This move
on our part, said Assistant Passenger
Agent George w. Boyd, when seen this
afternoon, twas made necessary by the
action of the Erie Railway, the New York
Central, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, and the West Shore Companies
in adopting reduced emigrant rates with
out consultation with this company, and in
direct violation Of the rules governing the
emigrant pool. The rate is confined to
those reaching New York and Philadelphia
