Oak Orchard. N. Y. Aug, H-Attorney General
Cunneen at the pioneers meeting here to-day dis
cussed chiefly the proposition that the canals or
New-York be nodernized holding that II IS neces-
sarv to maintain the canals In competition with the
railroads TO secure moderate rates OF transportation
He said it was important to have moderate

annual increase Of freight rates on the New-York
Central at the close of navigation on the Erie

BOOTH SUNK.
Collision ON the Sound off Ne1o-
HaUen-SiG Lost, T7Co SaUed.

Stoningto::. Conn. Aug. 27-The three masted
schooner JoHS Booth. from Long Cove. Ne.
with a cargo of granite for New-York, was sunk
in the night in a collision with the Metropolitan
Line steamship H NJ. Whitney, Of Boston, just
west Of New-Have Harbor Five of the crew
and one passenger were lost. George Thomas,
captain of the Booth was rescued by the Whit
ney. and Carl A Hessell. one of the crew. was
picked up by the steamer Maine of the Stoning-
ton Line. Those lost were:
ALEXANDER. william sailor
BLIDEN Peter. sailor.
FEES William. sailor.
GoFtEIAM. Joseph L. passenger
SAUNDERS, Frank, cook
Unknown sailor.
The disaster was reported by the officers Of
the steamer Maine which arrived to-day from
New-York. The steamer sighted the Booth just
before she went down. and her boats were put
overheard to assist boats from the Whitney and
the Pilgrim of the Fail River Line. The schooner
had been struck about amidships, and men on
the Maine think her side was crushed. 1t is
thought that had her cargo been buoyant the
Booth would have floated long enough to have
made possible the rescue of others of her crew.
With a load OF stone she settled quickly and
was under the surface OF the water before the
boats could get near One Of the Whitney's
boats reached Captain Thomas and Of the
Names boats rescued Hessell, who had jumped
from the schooner and was swimming. The
boats of the three steamers cruised about nearly
an hour. and searchlights were used, but one
was seen.
Hesseu. recovering from his stupor, makes
it appear that he was at the wheel. having taken
It from the captain He says the weather was
clear but the night dark. and that he had no
warning Of the steamers approach He thinks
he was struck by boom and knocked over
board. He says the Booth was cut in two be-
tween the fore and main rigging.
Hessen thought the passenger lost was George
z. Teel, of Salem. but Mr.. Teel reports that he
left the Booth before she started this trip.
Gloucester. Mass, Aug. 27.-Joseph L. Cor
ham, paperhanger. of this city, and friend
Of Captain George Thomas. of the schooner John
Booth, was a passenger on the Booth on the
trip from Long Cove to New-York. Mr.. Cor
ham was about forty years old and had a family
here. He was a native OF Richmond, Me. He
was spending his vacation board the Booth.

owners $4,000. Carlos Barry, Of this city. is the
managing owner The Booth was uninsured
