Mr.. Nicholas F. Goldberg, artist and
fresco painter, who ls:t this city for

During his tour he visi ed the muse.
ums, renowned cathedrals and great
buildings in the beautiful cities of
Paris, Munich, Vienna and Rome, and
is now better prepared than at any
other period to beautify and decorate
the interior of churches and other
buildings in our city and on the Psnin-
sula, where his artistic taste has already
been appreciated and admired. At the
time of his reported death he says he
was entirely too busy to fly TO the top
of Mt. Olympus to enjcy with Jupiter
the songs of the heavenly choristers,
but as soon as he has finished the work
he has laid out (Which might possibly
last one hundred years), he will be
ready to join the vast host that has
passed away from the scenes of mortal
strife, and bow to common destiny. Al
present he feels that he has work to
do, and he wishes the lovers of the
beautiful to aid him to make his name
immortal

COLETA BADLY DAMAGED

Late yesterday afternoon there was a
number Of rumors ahoat In this city
| of another steamboat disaster, and at
arst 1t was reported that the steamer
Brandywine had been run down and
badly damaged. Nothing definite was
known until after 4 O'Clock IN the after.

their packet Ooleta, had been run nto
at her wharf In Philadelphia by the
steamer Brandywine, and IL. T. War
ner, with Captain Edwin Kershaw,
superintendent of the jackson & Sharp
shipyard, left this city for Philadelphia
on the 5.22 train, to ascertain the extent
| OF the damage.
In the meantime the news had pretty
well spread all over the city, and as
usual on such occasions the most ex-
agerated rumors were afoat. In con-
lsequsnce, large crowd assemble at
Fourth street wharf shortly after six
o'clock last evening, who anxiously
awaited the arrival of the boat, and
when her usual time for getting here
had passed, the most serious apprehen-
eions were felt by some Of the more
nervous and timid. Shortly after
O'Clock, the steamer was seen coming
up the Christiana, and reached her
wharf about 7.15 o'clock, the only
marks of the collision being broken
flagstaff on her bow.
Itwas learned that when the steamer
reached Philadelphia about $50 O'Clock
in the afternoon, while making her way
into the dock, she struck the Coleta,
which was lying at the wharf, on the
port side abaft Of the pilot house, cut
ting through both her decks, and max
Ing hole in the packets side fully two
feet wide, that extended to her keel.
The boats collided with such force that
the Prov of the Brandywine was wedged
| in the opening 30 tight that 1t was full
hour and half before 1t could be ex-
tr!cated, during which time an extra
force of Men were put to work, and the
entire cargo OF the Coleta safely landed.
The accident attracted large crowd
to the wharves in Philadelphia, who
were interested spectators of the work
OF pulling the boats apart. just as the
Brandywine com men ced to pull loose,
the hsg-po(e on the bow broke, and
piece struck an old man who was stand.
ing on the wharf, inflicting Il severe
cash on his head. He was removed to
the Pennsylvanis Hospital, where his
wounds were dressed, after which he
was taken to his home in Chester.
The damage to the Culeta is estima.
ted at 50 900, and the Charlie Warner
Company Immediately chartered the
large barge Frank Dougherty, to bring
the Coleta's freight, intended for this
city. The Saunterer. which has recent
ly been repaired at jackson & Sharp's,
will take the place OF the Coleta until
she can bs repaired.
The steamer Brandywine was but
slightly injured, and is running her
trips as usual to day.

Fencing Public Lands.

On Monday last Senator Van Wyck
submitted report from the senate CON-
mittee on public lands, to accompany the
bill also reported by him relating to the
fencing Of public lands. In the report
the committee say that without the least
authority, and in open and bold defiance
of the rights Of the government, large and
often foreign corporations deliberately en-
close hundreds of thousands of acres of
land, thus closing the avenues of travel
and preventing its occupancy by those
seeking homes. They all allege that the
lands within their enclosures still remain
open for settlement. Yet no humble set
tier, with scant means, would presume to
enter any such enclosure to seek homes.
The government has sufficient authority
to drive those seeking homes from the In
dian Territory and to burn the ranches of
those invading the Yellowstone Park,
while those appropriating these vast areas
hope the only remedy to be used against
them will be the laws, with the usual de-
Law in the courts. Therefore the commit
tee has added new section to the House
bill, authorizing the President to summa-
rilv remove all distractions, and If nec
essary use the military power.
