ALL HANDS DROWNED.
Terrible Disaster in the China Seas
Heroic Conduct.

LONDON, Jan. 19, 1892 "A despatch was
received here today from Hong Kong
stating that the steamer Meifoo has ar
rived at that port bringing Intelligence
of the loss of the steamer Namchow off
Cupchi Points.
The Meifoo reports that the shaft of the
Namchow broke. supposedly at the point
where it emerges from the hull. This
allowed the water to rush into the shaft
alley and make its way to the engine
room and thence to the fire room.
The steamers fires were soon extin-
gnished and she settled rapidly. The
water continued to pour in unchecked,
and in a short time tine vessel foundered.
The Namchow was employed In trading
locally in the China seas, and she had on
board q very large number of Chimes
passengers. She sank SO rapidly that it
was impossible to launch her boats, even
had she had enough to carry all hands on
board.
When she went down she carried with
her 4l4 persons, every one of whom was
drowned.
The steamer was differed by Eu-
ropeans, and her crew also cou-
sisted of sailors, flremen &C.,
from different European countries.
They stood to their pos,s to the last and
did everything possible to save their ves-
sci. All Of them went down with the

WILL THEY COMPROMISE?
Freeholders Considering the Le-
highs Proposition on
County Road.

The Board of Freeholders are holding
meeting this afternoon to consider the
proposition OF compromise offered by the
Lehigh Valley Railway Terminal
Company last Friday. The compromise
concerns the grade of Avenue A, between
Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth streets, Bay
onne, which the company desires to lower
about thirteen feet and to cross on a
bridge. The company has offered to nay
all the expenses in making this change
and desires that all law suits pending
shall be discontinued.
The treeholders are not inclined to &C
cept the proffered compromise, for they
are inclined to believe that the county
can get further concessions from the COM
panY. Judge McGrath, Counsel to the
Board, is thoroughly convinced that
the Courts will sustain the
county in the certiorari proceedings
brought to prevent the Lehigh from
crossing at the present grade laid out by
the Railroad Company for its tracks, and
this confidence may influence the Free
holders sufficiently to cause the COM
promise to be refused. The Commit ee
after an informal discussion, adjourned
to meet Friday morning at eleven
o'clock

SpecaGt TO The JERSEY cru Netus.
TRENTON, Jan. 13, 1892 Essex and
Hudson had their annual clash on Mon
day evening, but it was so industriously
kept quiet that but few outside of those
who were present knew anything about
the conflict. Essex in her usual arr ogant
manner came down here and demanded
everything. Her delegation said that
Hudson could have doorkeeper or two
and that would settle it. John r. Hardin
was to be leader of the House and the
chairmanship of the Committee on NUM-
cipal Corporations was to go to another
Newarker.
The Hudson members and leaders
smiled at this buncombe, and quietly but
firmly said that the shadow of the portly
form of James Smith. Jr.. was not going
to rest upon this House, and they were of
the opinion that there was man in the
Hudson delegation who would just about
fill the Municipal Corporations Comm
tee chair.
The Newark men were astonished at
this stand, but after awhile when they
saw the strength which Lane was devel-
oping against Hardin. they came to terms,
and gave Hudson the Craftsmanship for
her votes for Hardin.
The Hudson members then decided
that Mr.. O'Neill should be made Chair
man of the committee, and there will be
more than one surprised if he does not
occupy that position on Speaker Bergen's
list

?. H. SHEERAN'S WILL.
John II. Sheeran Got His Share OF
the Estate.

The will of the late Patrick n. Sheeran,
admitted to probate yesterday, astonishef
many friends of John H. Sheeran, son
of the deceased. who runs a liquor store
at Monmouth and Montgomery streets
Mr.. Sheeran was worth between sixty
and seventy five Thousand dollars. John,
the only male of 70 ur children, was cut
off in The will with one dollar. The rest
of the estate, real and personal, WAS be-
queathed to Mary Ann Eagan, wife of
Thomas Eagan, Katie A. Sheeran and
Emma L. Sneeran in equal shares. The
will was dated December B. 1891.
When a reporter for The JERSEY CITY
NEWS called at the family residence last
night he was referred by one of the
daughters to her brolher-in-law, Thomas
Eagar. for infoi nation. The gentleman
said there was nothing to explain. Mr..
John Sheerau had been provided for by
his father before the father Gied. John is
in possession of the substantial building
at Monmouth and Montgomery streets.
in which his saloon is located.
Recalling the fact that Mr. John Sheer
an was at one time clerk in the office of
the Board of Street and Water Commits
sioners, the reporter sought Information
among Johns fellow clerks. They were
averse to talking on the matter. but by
dint of questioning various people the re-
didn't pull good stroke with his much
respected father; still il appears that John
was set up in business 10y his father
Some time ago he aud his father had
falling out. The old gentleman came
down upon him tor the payment of a bill
of 81. 600 for the fixtures of has present
place of business, ana tnat up to the time
of his fau hers death he was obliged TO
pay rent for his store, rs an ordinary
tenant, With the understanding, however,
that the big four-story house. in which
his saloon is located, would he his after
his fathers demise. Precisely what the
dispute was, The News reporter 8 not
abe to find out last night. He learned,
however, that Johns marriake last Au-
gust by no means met with the approval
of his father and sisters. John does not
con ~ider that he has been treated fairly.
But he was ill last night and under he
care of Il physician His own story could
not, therefore, he obt aimed.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
There is another story in circulation
among the friends of The family. however,
which probably explains the whole busl-
ness. 1t is to this effect
When Patrick 81. Sheeran became in
volved by the collapse of the Mechanics
and Laborers' Savings Bank lie divided
his proI erty into four equal shares and
placed the property in the hands of his
four children, IL being his intention to so
distribute his estate when he should
have no further use for it,

or the estate for him. Subsequently.
after the banks affairs were adjus ed, the
daughters reconveyed their shares 10 their
father, but for somel reason unknown,
John H. Sheerau, the son, retained his
portion. The arrangement must have
been amicable, however. for the father re-
tained life interest in the property,
which interest now ceases and determines
and the title vests in the son.
That this arrangement WAS an amicable
one is sufficiently proven by the fact that
Mr.. Giblin, who kept saloon and gro
Gerry on the lower floor of the house at
Montgomery and Monmouth streets, was
tarned out after he had built the big
Hats opposite and rented his
Store 10 Morgan, the druggist,
and was compelled to put up two one
story frame structures to accommodate
his saloon and grocery business at Nos.

sary alterations in the Sheeran building

ion of the old gentleman.
