 Bodies Picked Up.
OCCURRED OFF SANDY HOOK

New York, August 17.-The German steamer Alene, now running in the Atlas branch of the Hamburg American Line. ran down and sank the pilot boat James Gordon Bennett No. this afternoon and drowned three pilots and the cook or the Bennett The names of those who lost their lives are: Pilot Henry Mix of Stapleton, S. l.. Pilot John GodDoy Brooklyn; Pilot John Leonard of Brook lyn; Cook John Grube. Stapleton, s. l.
 The accident occurred near the Scot land lightship while the pilot boat was lying hove to on Sandy Hook bar about ten miles east of Sandy Hook.
 When the Alene struck the pilot boat the weather was clear. The survivors say the German steamer came bearing down upon their vessel and they were totally unable to avoid her. The whole thing happened so quickly that they were floating in the water before they realized what had happened. The big steamer put the pilot boat completely in tow.
 Frank Hopkins and Alexander Dexter were asleep in their hunks when the crash came. They awoke to find themselves in darkness and the water pouring in upon thm. The men were in their night clothes and both struck out for their lives. They managed to keep afioat until rescued by the steam pilot boat New York.
 When the steamer crashed into the Ben- nett the crew of the liner rushed to the side of her and three life preservers to the pilots as they sprang from the sinking boat into the waters The steamer being under full headway, passed on, but soon returned and quickly manned and low cred boat in an effort to save those they had run down.
 The boats from the Aqene and the New York cruised about for some time and at last the bodies of Mix and Godboy were picked up, and taken aboard the New

 Section was read as follows
 Section l. The Legislature shall pass no special act conferrfng corporate powers, but it shall pass general laws under which corporations may be organized and cor porate powers of every nature obtained, subject nevertheless to repeal at the will of the Legislature: and shall pass general laws under which charters heretofore granted may be altered or amended. The Legislature shall, by general law, pro- vide for the payment to the State Of Ala bama of franchise tax by corporations organized under the laws of this State, which shall be in proportion to the amount of capital stock Some discussion ensued as to the ad- visibility of allowing a charter to be amended by special act. It was pointed out that a charter required to be issued under general laws could be amended by special law so as to make 1t an entirely new charter.
 Judge Walker moved to amend by add ing at the end of the section that the charter of any corporation shall be sub ject to amendment or repeal by general laws. This was accepted by the commit tee. Mr. Watts moved to strike out the words heretofore granted" This was also accepted and the section as thus amended was adopted.
 Section 2. | Section 2 was read as follows: Section All existing charters or | grants of special or exclusive privileges under which bona f1de organization shall not have taken place and business been commenced in good faith, within twelve months from the time of the rati- fication of this constitution, shall there after have no validity. l Judge Walker offered substitute which was the present section in the constitu- tion of 1875 and which limited the right to organze to charters under which or ganization shall have occurred prior to | the adoption of the present constitution

There being no claimant for the body
it was buried in the potters' Field By

husband had gone to Philadelphia ia
arrange for having Il grave dug In Fern,

her To bring the body there. Mr.. Kilmer
was asked hy Mrs. Young to pay the COS.
Of taking the body to Philadelphia which
he declined to do. He, however. took
the remains to the Delaware avenue
station Of the Il. & o. railroad which
ended his connection with the case.
Mrs. Jones left on the same train and
got on with the c;sket at Sixtieth street
station. She left the station and dill
not return for the body believing all ar
rangements for the burial had been
made.
Undertaken Kilmer was away from his

Philadelphia stating that if he was not
heard from by o'clock the body would

he had nothing farther to do with tn,
