PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-Reports by
special messenger from Wilmington, Della
ware, say word has been received from Lewis
by railroad wire that q number of vessels
aud tugs have been sunk at Delaware Break
water and Is lives lost.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Several hundred
passengers reached Long Island this morn
ing who were 48 hours en- route from Rocka-
way, Long Island city. The streets are still
blocked. Twenty funerals en- route to CAL
vary cemetery, are stuck in snowdrifts on
Borden avenue. The corpses had to be
taken into houses near byover night. Some
of the mourners, drivers and horses had to
be taken out nearly frozen TO death.
New YORK, March l4.-Afternoon papers
estimate the business loss, contingent loss
and actual pecuniary outlay which the storm
will occasion in New York, at not less than
seven million, and the loss to the States in
volved at twenty millions.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 14.-Numbers of
members of the State Legislature who have
been snowbound near Schenectady arrived
to-day. The whole crowd of legislators
played poker for SO hours without sleep.
Pies cost 81 apiece, sandwiches so cents,
hard boiled eggs 25 cents, while a bottle of
liquor was sold at auction on the train and
brought $50.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Of 20 staunch
pilot boats that make up the whole fleet of
New York, two are safe in port, having put
ridden the storm. Nine were wrecked Mon
day, and Is which were out in the open sea
remain utterly unheard of. The experience
of the men on the boats wrecked is some
thing terrible. 1t seems almost miraculous
there should have been no loss of life.

THE DEPENDENT PENSION BILL,


AS it Passed the Senate-44 Ayes, 16 Nayes.
Following is the substance of the Deepen
dent Pension bill as it passed the Senate
Thursday of last week, after numerous irrel-
evant speeches-among others a tariff speech
by Beck, the tilts of Vest and Ingalls,, Stew
art q silver speech in which pensions were
not even alluded to, besides others on the
Chinese, lands and Indian questions.
The bill grants a pension of SIP per month
to all persons who served three months or
more in the military or naval service of the
United States during the late war of the re-
bellion, and who have been honorably dis
charged therefrom, and who are now, or who
may hereafter be, suffering from mental or
physical disability, not the result of their
own vicious habits, which totally incapaci-
tate them for the performance of manual
labor, the pension to date from the filing of
the application in the pension Office. If any
invalid pensioner has died, or shall hereafter
die, leaving . widow, minor child or chill.
dren under eighteen years Of age, or in case
there be no widow or minor child or chill
dren, q dependent mother or father, such
widow, minor child or children, or mother
or father, shall be placed upon the pension
roll at tie rates established by law for such,
without regard to the cause of death of such
pensioner; provided that the cause of death
of such pensioner was not and is not due to
a violation of civil or military laws, or tie
results of vicious habits and provided, fur.
Their, that said widow was married to the
deceased pensioner prior to tho passage Of
this act. That the increase Of pensions for
minor children shall be at the rate Of SIS per
month instead Of 81 per month, as now pro.
vided by law, and in case a minor child is
insane, idiotic or otherwise helpless, the
pension shall continue during the life Of said
child, or during the period of such disability.
The fee Of claim agents is limited to $40,
and . fine not exceeding $500, or imprison-
ment at hard labor for not more than two
years, or both, is the penalty prescribed for
withholding from = pensioner or claimant
whole or any part Of the pension due.

THE Prince and Princess of Wales cele'
brated their silver wedding Saturday. The
Queen and other members of the Royal fam
lily were present at Marlborough House and
extended greetings. Owing to the death of
Emperor William the English Court is in
mourning. With the probability that next
after Germany England will mourn, the
occasion was doubtless one more serious and
impressive than silver weddings are, wont
to be.

Baron Rothschild, near Criel. Sullivan was
ont of condition when he entered the ring
and Mitchell had the best Of the fight' ana
his friends assert that he would have won
had the fight been continued. Inc os'''o
lasted q little over three hours.
Up to the end of the eighth round SUN
van appeared to have the best of the hgns'
but the fact that he could not knock Mltcneil
out seemed to discourage him, and After tnat
he fought with little spirit. Mitchell sno"eo
great pluck throughout, and his frienas arc
iubilsnt, IS the result is virtually a victory
for the little Englishman.
At the end of the fight both men we're IN
poor shape, and Mitchell's hackers finally
consented to the proposition made BY oull'-
vans hackers, that the fight be declared a
draw. The American crowd is blue. Sulll-
vans friends are utterly unable to explain
why he did not do better. Both mems
hands were in terrible shape at the end OF
the fight.
Mitchell seemed to improve as the tight
vent on. He fought carefully and kept out
of Sullivan's reach as much as possible.
Betting was ever at the end of the thirty
eighth round.
This is a disappointment. Sullivan had
25 pounds the best of it-or the worst OF it
aside from his being the champion. 1t
rained nearly all the time Of the fight, and
most of the crowd present sheltered under
sheds while the fight went on. Mitchell was
%evasive. He, however, got in some good
work on Sullivan's eyes, but confined his
| attention mostly to his stomach. Sullivan
! got in two or three of his sledge hammer
| blows. but couldn't knock Mitchell out, the
! latter being more active and keeping out OF
the big fellows way till the latter was
/ winded in chasing around the muddy and
slippery ground. Mitchell dropped many
times to avoid punishment and would be
| carried to his corner, while Sullivan walked
| When they clinched, which is Sallivan's sec
| ond best work, they would break away with
out damage, Mitchell laughing. We rather
suspect that notwithstanding the apparent
hard fighting, there was ar understanding
O0LW6Cu Lucuus uV OOttIu6 wac uAS W
one on Sullivan and no takers. There was
no money in it for him to win. He perhap:
wants a TURF at some of the others, who hae
not the sand that Mitchell had to go in and
tackle sthe big un,' but may be willing
enough to try him nov This is how we are
forced to construe the combat. If this is nc1
so John l.. has played a big bluff for a long
time or was out of condition.. This fighting
business is followed for the money there j:
in it. If Mitchell and Sullivan shall now &C
a "sparring" tour, the 'chuck' will be obvi-
Gus. If Sullivan gets an even fight out Of
Kilrain or Smith, it will be just as apparent
| We will only believe he was matched, if he
shall avoid another encounter or getting
one, be worsted.

not receive 20" freight having been rescind-

nothing upon which to issue a writ. Judge
Gresham said: "The employees of the Wa

but they could be punished for any conspir-
acy to ipjure its business"
