THE BURNED STEAMER.
Heroic Conduct OF a Sailor Who Saved
Many Lives.

New ORLEANS, Dec 16.
Fully forty-fve of the passengers and crew
OF the i'll iated steamer John NJ. White are
still missing. Of these thirty are negro la
borers who took passage on the boat at the
landing just above the point where the acct
dent occurred. 1t is believed that at least 20
OF them perished. Capt. Musey, commander
of the steamer. was ill in his room at the
time the steamer WAS discovered to be on fire.
He was awakened by an alarm and ran
from his room to the upper deck to find that
retreat TO the deck below was already cut off
by the flames. He swung out from the upper
deck on a chain and IN tits way reached the
bank. He then organized a relief force from
the bank and assisted the sailor Pierson in
the yawl to rescue thuse struggling in the
water. Persons conduct during the confu-
sion WAS most heroic. Pushing his way
through the crowd of striking passengers at
the steamers stem, he cut the yawl free from
its fastenings, and, after desperate struggle,
lowered il 10 the water. Twenty persons
jumped into the yawl aud were rowed safely
to the shore. Then rowing quickly back he
saved twenty more. On the third trip be
rescued nine and on the fourth trip three.
BY the time he reached the shore on the last
trip all that remained of the steamer was
her hull.

The man that should be here in the court is

ALDERMAN MCQUADE.
He is to Start for Sing Slng Monday-Af.
ter the Other Rascals.
New YORK, Dec. Is

NEW YORK, Dec. Is.
McQuade will be brought before the bar Of
the general sessions court, tomorrow morn
ing, for sentence, and arrangements have
been made with the sheriff for the removal
of the ex-alderman to Sing Sing, early Mon
day morning. Time will then be given the
counsel to take such steps rs they may de-
eide upon. Efforts will undoubtedly be
made to keep McQusde out of Sing Sing, at
least, pending an appeal which is to be taken.
An application is likely to he made TO the
supreme court judge for stay of proceed
ings in the case, and if one is granted, the
judge who acts in the case will have power
to fix bail upon which McQuade may be
released pending decision by the appellate
court.
The Distrist Attorney will vigorously op-
pose any attempt to secure the convicted al
dermans temporary release.
Juror Rosenberger's lawyer, today stated
that both criminal and civil proceedings
would be taken against Vickermen and
Nesbitt who charged him with being friend
of keenan, and some of the "boodle" ex-
aldermen.
Rosenberger visited the District Attorney
today, to have the matter brought before the
grand jury. 1t is said he has secured sffida-
Wits from reliable parties to show Vickermsn
and Nesbitt were actuated solely by malice
in making the allegation against his honesty.
The District Attorney intimsted, today,
that every precaution will be taken to thwart
any attempt which any other "boodlers"
might make to get out of the jurisdiction of
the court. He has not yet decided upon the
time when he will call the next case for trial,
nor who will be next to go before the jury.
