The presence of these vessels always
brought crowd TO the landing. The hos
pital boats also attracted attention; these
were large steamers specially fitted up for
the care and transportation of sick and
wounded soldiers. Each boat had corps
of physicians and nurses, who remained
constantly in attendance. The hospital
boats were mainly used for the transporta
ton of those patients who were sent
North to general hospitals for treatment
1t was sad sight to see the long line
of poor fellows, some seriously wounded
and others greatly emaciated by disease
hobbling down the levee or conveyed in
ambulances to the hospital boats. Their
comrades with tender care would help
them on their way, and when they reached
the boat they were provided with every
comfort that great Government and
generous people could bestOw.
The regular transports for the army did
a great business at Vicksburg. Immense
quantities Of food. clothing, forage, camp
and garrison equipage and ammunition
were required; practically nothing was
drawn from the cOuntry-everything came
from the North. Vessels were constantly
discharging their cargoes, and hundreds of
wagons were engaged in hauling the sup-
plies to depots or camps. This business
was carried on without serious friction.
and in the main without accident. But on
Aug. lG a fearful accident occurred. The
steamer City OF Madison was receiving a
large quantity of ammunition. Much Of
it was fixed ammunition for cannon:
large force of men were engaged in carry
ing this ammunition from the wharf to
the boat where il was being stored for
transportation. The work had been 60
ing on for several hours, and great guam
tity of shot and shell had been stored in
she hull of the vessel
Men were passing back and forth to
and from the boat in performance Of the
work Of loading, when suddenly a tremen-
dOus EXPLOSION occurred which was heard
for several miles.
Intense excitement Immediately pre-
vailed. and men rushed from all parts of
the city TO the levee 1t was at once dis
covered that the City of Madison was
blown mp. An examination showed that
the ammunition had exploded. The steam,
er was utterly destroyed, the hull blown
to pieces. the machinery a total wreck
while the cabin was literally blown into
kindlins wood. The unfortunate men who
were on and near the vessel were blown
into atoms. The number Of killed could
not he definitely determined. but az least
$50 men met death in that terrible acci-
dent
The exact cause OF this disaster could
not be settled; all Of those who were pres
ent on the boat experimenting the load
ing and storage of the ammunition, and
who probably knew what caused the ex-
picsion, were killed. II was believed
however, that the explosion was caused
by the accidental dropping of percussion
shell from the deck Of the boat into the
hull, while the person carrying the same
was attempting 10 pass the shell down for
storage.

pemberton.s Flag of Truce.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
read with much interest the narrative by
Gen. Green b. Raum, entitled with the
Western Army" now published in The
National Tribune. Coming from such a
distinguished authOr. it naturally carries
with it the weight and conviction of his
tory. Therefore, any misstatements or err
rors, no matter how trivial they may
seem, should in the interest of history be
corrected.
In the issue of Jan. % he says: "On
July 8, at 10 o'clock in the morning. while
the roar of the musketry and cannon of
the beSiegers shook the hills, white flags
appeared on the rebel works in front of
Maj.-Gen. Logan's line" And further on
he says: Both armies ceased the dread
full work of war, and paused to await the
result. Two officers passed over the Con-
federate works, bearing white flag. They
caIne forward toward the Union line.
These officers were Maj.-Gen. John s.
Bowen and Col Montgomery, of Gen.
Pemherton's staff They were met by
Maj.-Gen. \. j. Smith"
While there may have been a white
flag displayed on the works in front Of
Gen. Logan's line, yet it was in front
Of Gen. \. ]. Smiths Division that the

at this particular point on the morning
Of July 3 were from the ODD Wis, and
they met Gen Bowen and Col. Montgom-

them to Brigade Headquarters Gen. Bur-

While at VickSburg agreeable social re-
lations were established between officers
of the army and many families OF
courSc, the war necessarily operated as a
restraint, but lasting friendships were
formed, and, in some instances, notably
that of Gen. Morgan L. Smith, marriages
were contracted between officers of the
army and Young women of prominent
Southern families. Gen. Smith, who COM
mauded a division of the Fifteenth Corps,
met and married a Miss Genella, of Vicks-
burg. and they reared family of two in
teresting daughters.

pEARY GIVES
UP THE QUEST

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 25.-Lieu-
tenant r. E. Peary, the Arctic explorer,
has arrived here. In an interview he
said:
ION no account shall make an effort
to return to the north. l have done
all that could be done with the facilities
at my command and I shall now re-
sumo my duties in the Navy, reporting
to the Department at Washington in a
few days.
THE pole can be reached 1t is a
question of money and of the explorers s
outfit. Could have put my ship as far
north as / intended and as I could have
done had she been equal to the require
ments, 1 could have made the pole.
Possibly had 1 covered the $50 miles
between where I turned back and the
pole, 1 might have added nothing to our
information as to the extreme polar
conditions. We can very we'll conjec-
ture conditions surrounding the pole.
l am confident it is in the ocean that
is, no land is there.
Money will do it-money in the right
hands. No not millions either. Two
hundred thousand would do it. For
this amount 1 could keep a party in
The north ten years and follow my
original plan for marching by the
stages on the pole. A good ship, plenty
of time and sufficient money will do
it,

HOW He WENT TO WHARF
A Sensational Story in Which Mrs. Wright and

Denies the Tale In Toto

On the day of his flight, Treasurer
Wright took for his trip to the Inter-
Island and Oceanic wharf the. identical
hack which was used later by his wife
in her trip home for necessaries, and
as well by j. A Magoon. his attorney,
to reach the dock John P. Cook, one
of the native drivers, in charge of hack
No co. had the driving of the trio on
the morning in question. and his story
tells of movements which seem to
lead up to the supplying of a link in
the chain of evidence that the Alameda
carried away the former Treasurer.
Soon after 10 o'clock on the morning of
September oath, Cook, whose hack was
the last in line on the Merchant street
stand, was called from the corner of
Alakea street. He tells the story of
what happened after that call thus: 81
looked back and saw Mr.. Wright
standing in front of the Telephone
office. 1 went to him and he told me
to drive down Alakea street. I went
to the waterfront and along to the pas
sage between the Inter-Island and the
