THE BALLOTING THEN COMMENCED, and each member a8 his name was called slpha- Leucally, walked to the clerk's desk and depos- :ged his ballot. This ocoupied a great deal of ime. ‘The Cheir annonnced that he had recerved severzl telegrams from members who bad been upavoidably detsined, indicating how they would vote, and he submitted these telegrams to the cancas for action., Thomas M. Jones, of Kentucky, moved that tbe votea be recd. Boutbard, of Ohio, moved that that motion bs 1aid upon tho table. Carried. FIDST BALOT. The counting of tho first ballot gave the fol- loming results : The Chair announced that thers was no choi The Randall men were evidently great- Iy dissppointed, and sbowed their Gisaopoint- mont i thoir faces. They had expected a very much larger vote on the first ballot. Tho Kerr men wers correspondingly elated, as they had estimated at midpight last n'gbt Kerr would Lave seventy-five on the firet ballot. Thev had within four votes of their hizhest estimate, which is a remarkably close political calcalation, The Chnir announced thatthsre was no choico. Saylor then moved to change the order of vol i: g. and moved that the cancus proceed to bal- Intfor Clerk. This motion was lost, BECOND BALLOT. The caucus then proceeded to ballot a second Thes zecond ballot resulted : time. There was still no choice, but the resnlt verw clearly showed that Randall had reached his maumum vote, and the Cox votes would bs tronsferred to Ketr on the next ballot. This proved to be trune. Most af New England and New York voted for Cox. They bad been riven for him twice ount of personal friend- ship ond. from _ political principle. and whon Cox's defeat was _mssured, they wero moet likelv to be cast for Kerr, who was mors nearly affiliated to Cox in polilics than Runiall was. This calenlation was c rrect, for the little cohort ot seven votes for Cox in the Tast ballot was from Obio. The Democrats of that State, frosh {rom the memory of their re- cent defeat, heted Tilden moro than_they loved Cox. and thoy thought that in voting aguinst Kerr they wors defeating Kerr. THE TZIRD BALINT was the triumph of the Kerr-Tilden faction. It resulied: and Saylor still the t, upselfish one. Kerr was then declared the unanimous choice of the csucas, The announcement was received in the caucus by great cheering. and when the nos reached the outwide the applaurs was terrific. The agerts of the New York poo! rushed to the telenranb offices and loaded the wires down with the tidings of the ‘Lilien victory. The gamblers Lad been faithfal to the end. The seedy crowd that is bunting for office was jubilant for other ressons, and the police of the Houss end, who hold their oftice by the uncertain tenare of Democratic plsasure, were eilent. Meanwhile the clerks of the old House, who had placed thsir hopes for continu- ance in office upon the saccess of Racdall, PACKED THEIR CARPETDAGS aod silently slipped away. ‘L he ca: di¢ates for Sreaker had not been pres- ent in the caucus. Kerr had occapied the room cf the-Tost-Office Committee, Randall had beon in the Ways and Mesns' room, and Cox fretted nervonsly alnug tho lobbv. The result was speedily made known to them, and the candi- dales all entered the ba'l together. OTHER NOMINATIONS. At the Democraticcaucns to-night the ex-Con- {fcderatos received their full share of attention. Fitznugh. of Texas, the Doorkeeper of the Con- federate Congross, was made Doorkeeper. Stew- art, of Alexandria, Va., a leader ia Job Stnart's Cavairy, received the Domination for Post- master. These iwo officers cantrol the moat of the patronage. The other oficers were Georze M. Adam, of Eentucky, & member of the last Houee, for Clerk, and Thompson, of Chio. for BSergeant-at-Arms. TLLINOIS OFFICE-HUNTERS. The election of Kerr is conceded by sl to ba due to the untirirg indastry of the delezation from Illinois. There were s legion of Illinois- sans here looking for offices, from_ Clerk to the keoper of the Ospitol saloon. Uvnder the unanimons decision of the delegation. none of these men were recognized as candidates. the delegation devcting itself exclusively to the Sperker. Morrison was the lender of the delegation. _Merritt, of the Soringfield Register, was a candidate for Serzeaut-at-Arms aud with- drew, and Phil Conly, candidate for keaper of the resiaurant. was compelled to withdraw, but will regsew his claim after the organization. John Hisa. of Chicavo, is acandidate for Ser- weant-at-Arms; J. B. Chandler. of Chbicago. for Postmaster. The crowd of candidates for all toese offices. and for the subordinate places, fill all the aislcs approaching the House of Repre- seatatives, DOASTS OY THE VICTORS. The Kerr men are jubliant, and the Randall men despondent, One of Kerr's princival man- avers savs to-night : * I should not bave want- d tc come bacs to Congress if Randall bad beon vominated. Ishould not have wanted to temsin here. There would bave been no com- fort 1o living here. Randall would have been taken for the type of tbe party. and if heis not in rings there ate riogs all about him.” Anotber Kerr menager says: * Well, I have made Kerr fpeaker, but I don't know but it will kill bim. We meaut to elect lum anvhow, if it killed him in three weeks.” - Kert's health is indeed a very serious congideration. He has not tho physical strength to endurs the tremendous phieical fatizue acd mental excitement con- nacted with that position. DISGUSTED. The Sonthern Democrats are much disar- pointed with the action of tbe cauncus. Their views are no doubi expressed bv ono of their pumber who said to your corrasnondent: * Tho action of the Confederate Brimadiers, 8 we call them down with us, has been a eorprise to all of ms. Thev went into cancus expecting that they woald bavo thiogs their own _wav. They had nothing their own wav. Their leading candidate for clerk wes Gen. Dnbois, som-in-law of Gen. Toombs, who counied wupon the support of the Boathern members maflkc' on account of his Somthern war ord. Very much to his eurprise, be received o very few votes. Naj. A.D. Baoks, Joe Johnston's Chief Commissary, and Secretary of tho Na- tional Demoeratic Comumittes, relied upon the 2id of the Northern Democrats. who promiscd to oesist him, but the North entirely ig- nored him. On_ths contrary, these very Confederate Brivadiers nomioated Mat Adama, of Kentucky, for Clerk, the man who did more for the Uciou army than avy man ia Kentacky. Harris, of Maryland, conld not even find » msn to nomioste bm.” As Gib-oo, of Lonisians, says, *Losalty has been the standard by which they ars messured. The rank sud file of qur people are very much disgusted. sad they attritnte it _all to Lamar. Lsmar has killed himeelf for the Senate in Mie- gissippi. Hehaa the Vice-Presidency in view, und he has been hedgiog for it. He bas hedged 100 well. The action of to-day bas nearly disorgan- ized the -Demacracy, and it bas knocked tho Texss Pacific higher thana kite. Our fellows are all going bome.” 170 the Mksociated Prese.l 2 Wasmmerox, D. C., Dec. 4.—The work of singling oat and ejecting outsiders was com- pleted about 2:15 this afterncon, when the cau- cus was called to order by Fernando Wood, and oo hus motion J. Q C. Lamar, of Mississippi, was chosen presid:oe officer. On motion of Mr. Holman, of Indiana, Mr. Baunington, of Ohio, was made Becretary. LAMAR'S SPEECEL Mr. Lamar. on takiog the chair, said : Gexreyuxu: In calliog me to this position of re- sponsibility and distinction you havs conferred an Bonor which I appreciate most highly, and for which 1 thank you most cordially.

The people of the country have charged the Democratic party in the House “of sentatives ‘with the important duty of bringing these co-ordinato branches of the Government to their just responsibili- ty. The people demand at our bands s sweeping and thorongh reform in civil service, which ahall bs conducted in a spirit that will securs the appaintment 1o places of trustand responsibility the the honest, the expericaced, and the capable.

One of tho most pressing demands upon usis to perfect and adopt sucha system of taxation as will bring In the required revenue with the fewest restric- tions upon commerce, and With thelaist burden to u“lfl“‘h’ and that birden equitably distributed snd sXillfully sdjusted.

On the other hand, the peopls of whom I speak, and of whom I am one, are hers to-day by their chioaen reprosentatives, ready to honor any draft which the American nsuon may draw upon their patriotism or their faith, in the glory and beneficent destiny of American {nstitudons, {Applsuse.] Tho experiment which has been introduced amongst us,based upon con- fidenc in the workings of ‘self-government, and recent social and political franeformation, shall have an o] ficld and fuir play, No hindrancs shall bo placad in the wuy of ita vigorous development and its amplest success, [Appisuse.] Wo want a Government that wo can love and revore, and _servo from the mo- tive of reverence and love, e bunger for s patriot- ism which shall knit all the poople together in & generous and loving brotherhood.

METHOD OF YOTING. At the conclusion of Lamar's spesch, a discus- sion ensued npon the method of voting, by se- cret ballot or viva voce, and resulted in an order to vote by secret ballot. The nominations were thon made and the voting was beguo. On the third ballof there were cast 101 votes (maxing 81 neceseary to a choice), of which Kerr received 90. Randall 63, Cox 7, Sayler 1.

Mmuwavgee, Wis., Dec. 4.—Louis Rindskopf, the recalcitrant witness who refused to testify before Bupervisor Hedrick 23 to the payments made by the Whisky Ring to the official Ring, evidenced by is check-stubs, is experiencing hovw tenderly the law deals with witnesses who contomptuously refuse to answer questions which the Court orders shall be snswered. Aftor a deal of pother and delay he was at lnst committed for contempt last eveniog, and mow he langoishes and pines in a spacions, airv chamber in the Jail building, which has heen mads so especially comfortable that he can scarce have the ingratitude to com- plain. The sort of imprisonment to which he is subjected is simply farcical as punishment for the purpose of forcing a rebellions witness to anawer. It will not tax his powersof endursnce to undergo for six or eizht weeks this pretended punishment for contempt, and o longasitis but & sham imprisonment in fact that be saffers, there is no likelibood of its moving him to dis- close anything unless it be his contempt for the impotence of the United States Court for this district, as manifested in the way in which the order for his purishment is made ridiculons. Ten days in a cell such as is allotted to common thieves, sent to jail for pnnishment, and dict on prison faze, would doubtless effectually parge Louis of his contempt for the ordersof the Court and bring him to such frame of mind that he would henceforth answer any and every ques- tion propounded with exceeding alacrity. WHERE 18 CONKLING ? There are conflicting rumors afloat as o the whareabouts of 8. J. Conkling, the ox-Revenue Agent appointed throogh Matt Carpenter’s in- fluence, and who acted a8 Treasurer “or the of- fic.al Ring, as showa by Louis Binduknflpf's oheck-stubs. Conkling has not yet been indict~ ed, aad, until the discovery of thoee check- stubs showing pavments to him by the Whisky Ring, no charge was made sgainst him. Then, after the charge bad beon made, be waived efamination, and his cage will come befores the next Graod Jury. It was Conkling to whom the **macker " or Boss checks were made payable by the distillers. collected and distributed the ofiicial thieves’ plunder, and can tell who shared i it,—and, in short, the fate of the big thisves of the ofiicinl Ring depends upon the developments in Ccok- ling’s case should it reach trial. The roport is that the undisclosed members of ths official Riog have run him off. On the other haad, it is atated he has only goue to see his Als, in West- ern New York. Whea he left here, it was given out he 'had gone to Weteilon, Wis. But a Depertment Agent who has just returned from Wate:loo reports that Conk- ling bas dissppeared, which is held to indicate that be has fled, acd that his mistress, who iign:;d somewhat covspicuously here, bas fol- lowed. TR * SEATINEL " LIEA, To the Editor of the Milwaukes Sentinet : Mmwaveer, Dec. 4.—More important busi- ness has prevented me from noticing the false- hoods you promulgate in the Sentinel of Tuesday morning concerning myself. In your srticle en- titted *Tme CHicAGo Tamune Lies” you are guilty of more misstatements and misrepre- sentations, not to cail them harder names, than you attempt to correct, and with that adroitoess acquired by long practice in the achonl of lying you make soms of your truths an- swer ail the purposes of falsehoods. Other of your siatemonts afe true on the top and false at the bottom. You say that I was removed from the editorial mansge- ment of the Sentinel because I conducted the paper during the campaign of 1878 really againat she Ropublican party, As you were thenem- ployed as managing editor of that eminently sound and Republican journal, the Chicago Timee! 1t is not expected that you Lept vourself thorougnly posted as to what was transpiring in this State. So thas I set down (Aat misstate- ment of fact to your ignorance, and not to yoar ivtention, Butif you will take the trouble to look over the filos of the Sentinel tfor that year, you will see that it gave the Republican candi- dntes, each and all ¢f them, a hearty, vigorous, and constant rupport, from first to last, and that it not only asily advocated the election of the ticket a8 & whole, but that it printed edi- torial articles, written mainly by myself, in which the personal fitness and merita of the several candidates were truly and elaborately set forth, The loyalty of the paper io the Kepublican party woder my mansgzement was never called in ques- tion, as the public and all its readers well know, and you are guilty of utiering s base and mali- cious libel when vou state the contrary. And I sm quite willing that any Republican in Wiscon- sin who is not under indictment for complicity to detraud the revenus, or engaged to defend the Ring in the courts or in the newspspers, shall give ,bis opision as to the course of the Sentinel under my management and under yours. The Sentinel vever assailed the action of the Becretary of the Treasury, nor any other Gov- crument official, when attempting to discover frauds and bring the guilty to puuishment, nor did it violently and unjustly atack such true and emiuent Republicans as Gov. ¢ C.pWashbuip aod Senator T. O. Houe, until 1t was prostituted to the servica of one man sod yeu mads its nominal editor. Tug Trisong correspoudent has made your crowd wince because he has haa the boldoess and courago te hold ap the course that che Sentinel bas pursued in th.s whisky business to the just candemnation and execraiion of every honest mun, and because he has shown, what many knew before, that your masier, Matt H. Car- penter, has had more responsibility in these frands thaan 18 wholesome for any man who ever expacts favors again at the hands of an hobest coustituency. Your second falsehood consists in the denial of the charze that a change was madain the edi- torshup of the Sentinel because it was necessary to make it ditsinctivelvr and exclusivelv & Carpenter organ. That tho change was so made for that cause and for that alone is what every man 1n this city, who i8 not a fool, very well knows, it was jor that purposs that a conspiracy was entered into by Mr. Carpenter and lus friends to secure ao sadisionsal 1ssue of Sentinel stock; for that pur- 0 bie levied & heavy assessment upoo all his ofcrals here and elsewhere to help carry out the plan,—upon Collector Erskine. Postmaster West, Revenus Agent Burpee, Collsctor of Cus- toms Btevens, James Colemas, Postmaster at Foud dn Lac,—and for that parpoee he invested every dollar that he had or conld borrow. And then, in the face of all thess woll-known facts, the Sentinel came out a day or two after the change was made, and, with its sccustomed trutbfulness, innocentlv asserted :hat BMr, Carpenter owned Bbo stock 1n the company! Mr. Carpeater bad good reason to know something of the power of the press inthe ! courre of his public career, and he vainly imag- ined that, to securs supreme control over the oldest and most widely circalated jouroal of the then dominant party in the State, his re-election ro the Senate was also made sure: but he has leurned by this time how ntterly weak and con- temptible’ a thing a newspaper becomes when taken out of its proper sphere as the impartial exponent of public sentiment, and subordinared to the base uses of a bad man. The pit that was dug by the consrirators for another to fall into has already engulfed thedistingmshed Senator himself and others of his clique, and from under more of them the soft sand of ofticial place is sapidly aliding. * And ever the truth perm And aver & Juatlcs domer T ‘The other falsehoods in your article do not concern me, and I leave TaE TRIBUNE corre- spondent, who scems to be amply able to main- tain his side of the controversy against you and those you are trying to screen, to carry on the diecussion to aoy limit vou please, leaving with .| you both this 'my solemn benediction : Lay on, Maciuff, And damned be ho who firat cries % Hold!

Bab- cock for & Court of Inquiry into the charges recently made agaiost him in 8t. Louis, to-day designated Lieut.-Gen. P. H. Sheridan, Maj.- Gen. W. 8. Hancock, and Brig,-Gen. A. H. Terry to compose the Court, and they will be ordered to meet in Chicago on Thureday, Dec. 9. Maj. Asa Bird Gardnor, Professor of Law at the West Point Military Academv, has been detailed 05 Judge Advocate. The official order detsiling the Court provides that the Court shall report the facts as found, and give an opinion in the case. Atty.-Gen. Pierrepont to-day telegraphed the United Btates Attorney at St. Louis advising that officer of the appointment of the Conrt of Inquirv, and instructing i that the appoint- ment of a military court is in no manner to stay any procsedines that the Court authori- ties may determine upon as being prover in the case. The United States Attorney 18 also directed to give the Court every aid in his power. and use all cfforts to fncilitate its thor- ough and completeinvestigation of the charges. A joint telerram was sent to District-Attorney Dyer the 2u0d inst., signed by the Attorne; General and the Secretary of the Treasury, di- recting bim to use overy effort to prevent the implication of auy innocent person in the con- Fpiracy to defraud the Governmant, but to spare 10 one who is guilty. D g IN CHICAGO, A NEW PHASE OF THE SITUATION. The interest in tho doings of the Chicago Whisky Ring increases daily, and the attendance’ around the Government offices has grown large- ly within a fow days. The air is full of rumors of the most extraordinary character, and itis evident that some of them nre based on facts, but the only trouule isto discriminate between the true and the false. The statement was made vesterday that two more distillers had put themselves in communication with the aathor- ities, and asked to beallowed to plead guilty after having been used as witnesses. The trouble with thess coscs iz the same as before stated in » Washington dispatch; shat no officer bere has power to guarantee anything. Itis expected, however,t hat Bluford Wilson, Solicitor of the Treasurv, will arrivein Chicago some time during the week, and will probably come armed with power (b act iuthe cases. As soon ashe ghall have consulted with the authorities, TWO MEX WILL B2 ALLOWED TO COME IX. Ono of these will be a Gauger who has been deemed most trustworthy by the crooked distil- lers, and another will be a prominent rectifier who has been well known in the city ountside of bis business. The most extraordinary and alarming devel- opment yet made in connection with the admin- istration of affairs Lere1s the presenco in this eity of £ 5 _ TWO BPECIAL AGENTS _ of the Treasury Department from Boston, who have not reported to any Government officer, but who have been for more than a week work- ing up something, and reporting direct to Elmer Washburn instead of to their proper superior. These men siopped two days at the Atlantic Honse, on the comer of Sherman and Van Buren screets, where they had several consulta- tions with James E. Miller, the Gauger who \as shot st, and who has been supposed to be in Washington, IExactly what thesa gentle- men were workingk t does Dot ap- pesr, a8 they are not known to have visited any distilleries. They were, however, very busy Thuredsy aod Friday in EXAMINING PAPERS IN A CERTAIN BANK; bat the officers of the inatitution, on being called upon last eveniug by s TRIBUNE reporter, re- fused to give the names of the parties to whom the papers which were being exsmined belonged. They also rafased to say what books were under scrutiny, further than that they were transac- tions involving the passage ot money, and not matters of loan or security. Tbe reporter called in turn on the " President, Vice- President, and Cashier of, the Baok, and found a uuanimity © of ex- pression that must bave boen born of consulta- tion. The Vice-President readily owned up to the presance of the sgents; said that they want-~ ed to seo the record of payments from A to Bby check ; but pleasantly refased to givo the names of eitber party. When asked if eitber wasa distiller, he said *yes,” but again balzed on the name. When the reporter wanted to know whether the check was from or to the distiller, he said “from.” When invited to say if the smount was a large one, he said that he did oot know, and showed impatience. Finally be said that allhe wasat liberty to teil was that two men who produced i (CREDENTIALS SIGNED DY SECRETARY BRISTOW came to him, looked over tite bauk’s boo'ss, took off certain memoranda nod went away. That was oll he had to say, and that was about all he did say. l'J.'I::yfieh! for conjocture here opened up iz s wida one, and each reader may guess as he can. It is clear, however, that tae men looked after this time avo mot tho distillers, but the men to whom they paid money .by check. In other c.ties like tranasctions have been traced out, and Tave always led up to the officials, and they may be expected to do tho sama bere. There is no¢ much time left before the sitring of the Court, and the gentlemen in charge of affairs propose to use all of that. RAILROADS. A BONDHOLDERS' SQUABBLE.

PorGEEEXPSIE, Dec. 1.—The story of the dis- aster to the steamer Sunnyside, near West Park, at 2 o'clock this morning, is best told by Capt. Frank Leson, of the Sunnyside, who has made the following statsment to me: We left Troy at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and, on reaching Albany, took the steamer Golden Gate in tow astern to follow us down, and proceeded as far as New Baltimore with- ont encountering much ice. At the latter place, the ice was wedzed in frgm there to Kinderhook, when we brought up in it on account of & windrow acro3s the channel. A barge, two canal-boats, rud four propellers lay there all blocked in. We worked ahead and back, and finally worked through, but parted our hawser to the Golden Gate and made up our fninds we could not get that vessel through, and wo came on and left her lying thera. After- wards wo didn't have very heavy ice. Wo worked alowly all the way from there to West Park. The ice was very heavy at the latter placein spots. We used great caation 80 a8 not to cub our vessol. The mate, Jacob Borhans, stood watch with thres others in ths forward cabin and forecastle to see that the steamer- made no water. I remaiosd on watch till we got down to Barrytown. Before Ituroed in I eaid to the pilot, Alr. Whittaker, “What do youthiok about the ice 2" He replied that he thought that we were through the heavi- est of it. SoI went to myroom and went to bed. This muat have been about 12 o'clock. At 2in the moraing I was called up by orders from the engineer, Mr, Parsall, who eaid the boat 'was making water fast. I drossed myself and went lown to the forvard cabin, and through into for- ard of the bulkhead, aud found the mate, who bad torn the joioer work awayto find the lesk. ‘The water was then ruaning rapidly across the forward cabin floor and thers was about 2 feet of water op the starbuard Dbilge in ths forward csbin. I went down to tho engine and looked in between the keelson and fouud that the water was nearly ap to the top of the ongine keolson. Imade np my wmind then that we couldn't save her; thac she woald sink. Isentoneof the waiters to wake up the women io the ladies’ saloon and tell them to come up into the stateroom hall forward. I then went to the pilot-house. Watson Dutcher, the pilot, was i the wheel. Itold him_to put the steamer ashore to the westward. He hova s wheel hard a port and put her ashore near Russell's dock, at Weat Park. This was about 2:30 a. m. I then ordered the mate to lower away the lifeboats. Two of the boats hungin a crane aft on the quartac; I also told bim to run a hawser ashore ; thie mata lowerod tho bost and rowed ashore, the ics being strong and thick sl sround us. Then wo Iay head on the fists and our engine was stil working; before he could row the-boat up the beach the steamer filled with water aod eiid off the flats alongside the channel bank. Theua he pulled the life-boat up to the vessel, and I order- ed all the passengers o the forsard promenade deck, myself aud one of the fitemen helpmg them up. Next I passed thres women isto tho Jife-boat, when quite s pumber of men jumped 10to tho boat also: I tried wo keep as mauy buck as I could, but they were panic stricken. I veii- ed to the mate to sunove the boat off to the ghore. Allthe timethe steamer was settling fast, and the water came up into the pitot-house. [ ebouted to everybody to go Away aft on the har- ricane oeck, na the vessel was going down head foremost. All the crew assisted mo in gettiog thezgeopls off. Ihemate had not got over 15 or 20 feet from the sieamer, with tho hifeboat full of peorle, before it capsized. A ternble scene ensned. There must have been eighteen persons in the boat. Tho mate swam ashore, and the others that were saved swam back to the steamer. In all probability all that were lost were drowned from the capsizing of the lifeboat. Their shonts and cries for aid must have been heatd for a loog distance. As quickly a3 po.st. ble I took the boat from the starboard side, aud. with our head wamter and deck boy, tried to zet around to the peopisin the water, but the heavy ico prevented me. The cries for help con inued for about ten minutes, and theo all was still. We launcbed the big bont trom the upper deck, nhicn was even with the water, tue vessel at the time being 200 feet from shore. I took the boat with the second engineer, Jerry Deyo, snd finally reached the capsized boat. She was bottom up, and o man laid on her on his back, with his feet in the water and ice and nearly dead. We took him oo board the steamer, and put him in the pilot’s room and covered him with blaakets. Theo I heard a ncize on the out~ side of our port wheelhouse, which was only 2 feot out of water. Wo worked the boat through the ice to the epot where the cries emanated from, and found a2 elderly lady groaning. She was Iying on the ice 5 fect from the wheeihonse. Har body was in the water partly, her arma holding her up. She was still alive. With great dificalty we got her into the boat, and took her to the steamer and pus her in the wheelsman's room and covered ber with blankets, but ebe died sbout two hours after. We then went to ‘work to constract a rope ferry from the steamer to the ehore. At this time sixty pers—ns were crowded together on the burricane deck aft, the wind blowing hard aud the air bitter cold. We got the line ashore and succeeded in getting alt off in safeiy, after they bad been cn deck for two hours, clinging to rods and masts. We placed them in the large boa: and pulled the boat slong by the rope ferry to tbe shoie. On reaching the shore they clambered up the rocks and made their way to she farmhounses in the vicinity, where every attention waa given them. -By this time 1 was nearly exhausted, and was attacked with cramps and had to be assisted to s house near by, From the time I was first called 4.—The sugar-house, the stesmer suuk fifteen minates’ time was not consnmed. We saw & tow going down on the east shore, and we tried to make them bear us, but we failed. Our bell w-s kept tolling, our whistle kept blowing till the watar quanched ths fires and shat of the stoam, and arxtr persuns were shouting as loud as they conld, but no at- tention was paid to us. Then we sighted the steamer Walter Brett coming north on the east shore. She lauded at Hydo Park deck, and again was signaled loud in ev: way for aid, but, after lying at the dock ten or fifteen minutes, she paseed onm with- ont noticing us. Bbe must have heard us. Waile we were constructing the rope ferry a young man, named Walter Dumont, of West Park, approachied us with a small boat and worked heroically, He took twelve persons from the wrook and landed them in safely. He was the only person who succecded 1n renching ;: fl;om Ill:‘o a!ttumnah tmam— were trying tc 20. don at ovel o over eloven persons The whcle blame of the unsetting of the boa* containing the women is cast 0o three men whi jamped into it,—one a burly German paseeager, who, evan when safely housed, continaed to cry out, **Ob, Tam goivg to die!” and **{lose all my sitver apoons, 10."” Miss Bronson, who was saved, says: * When We wero _thrown ont of the boat I had one hand in my muff aod with the other £ held my mothe er. Ithiew the muff away and held on to moth- er. A man near us pushed me on the deck of the Sanvyside, and I clambered to the pilot boase. In this were several mon, who axked ms what Iwaoted.
