A Revelation of the Mystery Connected
with the Wrecked Vessel on Bulkhea,i
bar, in the Delaware River.
Special Correspondence Of eaxette ana journal
New Castle, Oct. 21.--The discovery
has at last been made that the wrecked
vessel found on Bullxhead Bar is por-
tion Of steamer. A reporter of "The
Gazette interviewed Capt. Israel
Ridings Of this city, Saturday night,
and ascertained the following facts
from him:
Mr.. Ridings was in the United States
service as ships carpenter on the
United States revenue cutter William
II. Seward, and on November 11th,
1867, the vessel was lying at New Gas
tie. In the early morning the steamer
Major Reybold was going up the river
at a fair rate Of speed. A heavy fog
was hanging over the river and Capt.
Ridings made the remark to the gun.
ner on board the Seward that if the
Major struck anything that morning she
would make it hum. In short while
she was heard to strike something. A
boat was manned at once and chart
and compass taken along. So we'll was
the boat handled that she went right
amidship of the government buoy boat
General Putnam, which had been struck
by the Reybold. The Putnam was
rapidly sinking and the Reybold, which
had been fastened in the starboard side
of the wrecked boat had been scarcely
cleared of the wrecked steamer when
the latter sank. Tho crew barely got
aboard the Reybold. The flag, which
had been flying was hauled down by
Capt. Ridings and taken aboard the
cutter Seward.
Tho General Putnam then fioated
down to BulKhead bar. where she
grounded. A heavy wind storm came
up and she carccned and dumped her
boiler with portion of the connec-
tions and the upper portion of her deck.
Then she sank and floated up stream TO
the vicinity of the place where the ac-
cident had occurred, which was about
one equarter of a mile north OF Penns-
vile and about 2af miles north of this
city. There she lay for several months,
and Second Lieutenant Brooks OF the
cutter William III. Seward was detailed
to watch her in order to prevent pirates
from stripping the copper from her
bottom. He was afterwards relieved by
Capt. Ridings.
At a hearing in the United States
court in Wilmington in 1868, 1868 and
1870, before Judge Hall, the evidence
tended to show that the proper signals
had not been given by the Putnam.

Chicago, Ill. Oct. pa local paper
says:
Several of the largest insurance COM
panies of the United States, including
the Mutual of New York, the Hartford,
the Germania and the Northwestern
Travelling Mems, are fighting against
the payment of S75, 600 of life insurance
held by j. Arnold Breecher of Chicago,
at the time of his death, alleging that
Breecher was either poisoned or that
he committed suicide.
4 dispatch from Milwaukee states
that at the instance of the insurance
companies the body has been exhumed
and the stomach taken to Chicago for
a chemical analysis. The result OF this
will be made known this week.
Breecher was found dead in bed by
his son, September 10th last, in his
apartments in the Groveland Flats,
Chicago. No inquest was held, as two
physicians certified that death was due
to valvular disease of the heart On
the evening of September 18th, the
body was shipped to Milwaukee and
inferred in Greenwood cemetery.
Reports conflict as to the condition
of Breecher's health just prior to his
death. Friends who saw him day or
two before he died, said he appeared
to be in splendid condition. On the
other hand, Mrs. Siegfried Rindekopen,
distant relative, said that Breecher
had been sick man for years and that
he had been in the habit of taking a
drug.

Following are some remarks from a
trade publication which gentleman
in ono of our large stores handed the
reporter few days ago with the request
that they be published for the perusal
and consideration of business mon
everywhere: Favoritism is growing
evil in many stores. 1t undermines the
organization, promotes jealousy and
causes disse6sions Absolute Impair
tiality to employees is safe rule.
Never call down one enploye in the
presence of another. There is nothing
so humiliating to man OF self-respect.
We have known instances where valu-
able employees have left store because
of savage attack made before subor-
dinates. A good storekeeper rarely loses
his temper, no matter how great tho
provocation. No one is infallible, and
mistakes at times cannot be avoided. :"

COMPLAINT or sEAMES.
The Man-of-war Marion said to he in Bad
Condition.

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 2l.-The
United States man-of-war Marion,
which left this port week ago for a
long cruise, has reached San Diego
and already stories have come back of
dissatisfaction among the men. The
vessel had been laid up at Mare
Island more than year, during which
time she underwent extensive repairs,
which cost the government many
thousands of dollars. According to
stories of those on board, much of this
money has been uselessly spent and it
is a question in their minds whether
the vessel should be allowed to pro-
ceed on her trip.
All sorts of complaints have been
registered against the old warship,
even to the quality of food furnished
the officers and men. 1t is said the
vessel was sent to sea with bad outfit !;
that the engines were not in good con-
dition; that the steam capstan would
not work. When the anchors were
heaved prior to leaving San Francisco
tackle had to be used in place of the
capstan. The steam launch, it is said,
is not seaworthy and although the war
ship started from San Francisco on
long cruise, sho had to put in to San
Diego TO be refitted.

Town Marshal Dan Benton of Goldheld,

Wounded.

Town Marshal Dan Benton of GOldheid,
Col, Kiliea and Three Others Seriously
Wounded.
Cripple Greek, Col, Oct. 81. Town
Marshal Dan Benton of Goldfeld was
instantly killed yesterday afternoon and
Frank Smith, Andy Coyle and Frank
Stevens seriously wounded, in a
spirited battle in the little town of
Goldfield at foot of Bull Hill, in which
revolvers, shotguns and rifles were
called into play.
A month ago trouble was caused by
the confiscation of revolver by po-
lice officer. The weapon was the
property of Frank Smith, a saloon
keeper, who demanded that it be re-
turned to him. Yesterday he and a
friend named Cook, both heavily
armed, again presented the claim to
Marshal Benton, who refused to give
up the revolver.
The marshal and Deputy J. F. Burt
retreated to cabin for the purpose of
arranging their arms. Smith and Cook
stationed themselves about 100 feet
from the door and awaited the reap
pearance of the officers. The marshal
and his deputy each stepped out with
reviewers in hand Benton called to
the two men to throw up their hands,
and as they did not comply began
firing. The battle was short bur des-
perate, though the four men kept firing
rapidly for several minutes.
Soon Marshal Benton fell dead with
bullet through his heart and Smith
went to the ground with bad wounds
A yell of pain came form Frank
Stevens, a bystander, one of his arms
being almost torn from his body. Andy
Coyle had taken the part of the officers
and received bullet in his thigh. The
battle caused intense excitement over
the hills.
