Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.
FEBRUARY l, 1886.
The British steamship Darwin, $3.50
tons burden, loaded with cotton from
New Orleans, arrived here on yesterday
for coal. Captain Barge reports that
on January 2Sth, at about l o'clock p.
NJ, in latitude 800 49, north, longitude
7So So west, about l60 miles from
Cape Hatteras, while the wind was
blowing hurricane, vessel was sight
ed flying signals Of distress. The sea
was rolling so high that it was doubt
full whether a small boat could live in
it but Captain Barge called for a crew
for the lifeboat, and eight of his men
stepped ont, and, with the chief officer
in charge, started for the schooner.
She was in fearful condition. Her
topmasts and part Of her mizzen-mast
were gone, also her bulwarks and
wheel, and the water was breaking fu-
riously over her. Only three persons
were on board--two men and a boy.
She was a three.masted schooner, the
Martha Browar, of Somer's Point, n. j.
Strange to say, the crew refused to
leave the disabled vessel, saying they
were safer there than in the small boat.
The Darwin's boat-crew returned to
the steamship and reported, and
the Captain sent them back to try and
induce the crew of the schooner to leave,
which they still refused to do. They
wished the captain Of the Darwin to
tow them in. This he could not do, as
his coal was very low and he was fear
full it would not last till he arrived here.
Feeling that he had done all he could
by risking the lives Of eight of his men
three times in order to save the crew OF
the schooner, Captain Barge proceeded
on his way. leaving the vessel at the
mercy Of the waves and winds. He
does not think the vessel could have
lived through the night, and regrets that
the crew would not leave. The boy, it
is said, was crying bitterly when the
life-boat left. The life-boat could not
60 alongside Of the schooner, but the
men could easily have jumped over
board and been rescued, as ropes were
thrown for them to do so.
The steamship Guyandotte arrived
here ony yesterday evening with lO2 car
loads Of freight on board. PAUL.

Mr.. wren's Claim.

The special joint committee, to whom
was referred the claim Of Detective
Wren, together with the Mayors veto.
held its final meeting yesterday, and
unanimously adopted the following re-
port:
To the Honorable Council Of the City
Of Richmond.
Your committee, appointed by reso-
lutions adopted by the Common Coun-
Gil January A, 1886, and by the Board
of Aldermen January ii, 1886, and ap.
proved by the Mayor January IA, 1886.
a copy of which is herewith returned,
beg leave to report that in response to
said resolution they have heard all the
evidence upon the subject introduced
before them by John Wren, the claim
ant, on the one hand, and by Colonel
Darlington, the Mayor, on the other,
and they are clearly Of the opinion
that
LIST. John Wren went to work as q
detective in the Cluverius case by au-
thority Of the Mayor, and subsequently
Of Mr.. Meredith, after conference with
the Mayor, but with the understanding
that he was to look to the City Council
for compensation for his services.
I'd. That the services rendered by
said John Wren were important and
material that they occupied his time
exclusively during the period for which
he claims compensation in his bill /;
that the services claimed to have been
rendered by his assistants or operatives
were likewise rendered as alleged, and
they had material bearing on the re-
suit arrived at.
3D.. That the bill rendered by John
Wren for said services is, according to
the regular tariff of rates for detective
services, a reasonable bill, and that it
should be paid. Your committee is
therefore Of the opinion, based on the
evidence in the case, that the resolution
to pay John Wren the sum Of 81, $50
should be adopted by the Council, not
withstanding the veto of his Honor the
Mayor.
Your committee returns with this re-
port full minutes of the testimony adj
duced before them, and the letters and
papers put in evidence, upon which
their decision is based. All Of which
is respectfully submitted.

luton passed without debate or dis
sent.

sisted in try ing to get the editorials in
the Record, but did not succeed.
