SECRETARY CHANDLER LOSPS SOME OF HIS PERSONAL - EFFECTS. _No definite {formation can be obtained at the Navy department as to the exact character and ex- tent of the rreight and stores on the Tallapoosa at the time of the accident. She was engaged in ‘Uansporting freight to and from the different yards, and what she hid left or what she had received at Boston js not known here. Secretary Chandler Was to have Joined the Tailapoosa at Newport, and. cone otis persenal effects were on the vessel when sank. Commedore English at once telegraphed to See- Tetary Chandler th New York notifying him of the accident, and also telegraphed to Rear Admiral Luce at Newport, commanding the North AUantic ion, Lo at once dispatch a vessel of his squads | ron how at Newport. to the scene of the wreck and | crane such Steps asthe circumstances may re- quire, MM HISTORY OF THE VESSEL, The Tallapoosa was built in Boston in 1863, and cost between two and three hundred thousand dol- Jars. She was a wooden vessel with side wheel, and her length of load line was 20 feet, her ex- treme breadth 35 fcet, and_her displacement about 1,27) tons. Ter mean draft of water was about 9 fecl. She was rigged as a schooner, and her area of canvas spread was about 4,990 square feet, At the time she was built the government was turn ing out from the navy yards a lange number of ves. Is Known as “double enders,” from the fact that Uiey could go both ways. She was one of the best Of these vessels, and Was Intended as a dispatch Noat, Soon attér she was built she was used on blockade duty along the southern coast. Since | then she has been employed as a freight boat, and a the time that she was sunk she lad a cargo of copper and lead on board, which was intended for the yard in this city. Ih 1874 she was remodeled in Baltimore, “and” the large cabins were built on deck. Since that the, her ccommondations for passengers being _en- larged, she has been used frequently in convey- ing jiltors and public oMictals trom one potnt to another. Secretary Kobeson used the Tallapoosa in his trips, and Secretary ‘Thompson, when he made his tour of the navy yards, was conveyed by Uhis vessel. On account of the official character of the boat the quarters for passengers were fitted up in good style, and her cabins have been the scene of many a distinguished gathering. It was on board the Tallapoosa that the much-talked-ot scene between Secretary Hunt and Commander | Kellogg occurred, when the former discovered the Wives of some of the officers on board after he had Just issued un order probibiting it. ‘This vessel Was also fitted and held in readiness to convey the late President Garfield from this city during his last illness, but She Was never used for thig., purpose. ‘The Tallapoosa has been made the subject of considerable ridicule in the newspapers, but the oficlals at the Navy department say that she was a Yery good boat of the kind, and that her speed was ten knots an hour. The total cost of the vessel, including repalrs. up to October Ist, 1881, without Machinery, Was $303,834. DOESN'T KNOW WHO IS TO BLAME. Commodore English, the Acting Secretary of the ‘Navy, said to a Stax reporter: “Ihave received no further intelligence of the disaster than the dispatch which stated probably all there is to Say about it. It seems that one ves- sel Was standing south and the other west, and the ‘Tallapoosa was struck on the starboard side with the Dowsprits of the schooner. ‘The ‘Tallapoosa naturally sunk. T'do not know whose fault it was and don't expect to receive any further news until the officer's report 1s received.” NOTHING STRANGE IN IT. Chiet Clerk Hogg, of the Navy department, was asked how the collision happened. “We have received none of the particulars as | ety” he replied. I suppose that the schooner Into the Tallapoosa.” “Isn't tt rather singular,” continued the reporter, “that a naval vessel should be sunk by a schooner? “Not at all,” replied Mr. Hogg. “The schooner Yas a large dne, and probably heavily laden with coal. She struck the ‘Tallapoosa with great force gn the starboard side, and penetrated amidships he vessel Ofcourse sink: Its the, ram principle in War, and there is nothing surprising in a small vessel binking' large one." A STANDING JOKE. OMcersof the navy, in thelr comments upon the oss of the Tallapoosa recall to mind the fact that she has run down a great many vessels hersel. The Teports of her achievements 1n this line became so frequent that it Was a standing joke in the Navy deyartunent. ORDERS OF COMMODORE ENGLISE. Commodore English to-day sent a dispatch to Commander Merry at Woods Holl, directing him to allow the officers to return to their homes, and to send the men to Boston or New York, as tt might be the most conventent. Commander Merry 1s to remain and await further instruction. ever ea ‘The Political Field. GRADY WITHDRAWS FROM THE NEW YORE DEMO- CKATIC STATE COMMITTER—CONGRESSIONAL NOMI- NATIONS, ETC. Ex-Senator Thomas F. Grady, of New York, has tendered his resignation as a member of the dem- ocratic state committee. On Wednesday he addressed a letter to Chairman Manning in which he said: “It 1s but fair that I should add that this action 1s entirely personal on my part, and does notin any way involve the organization to whose representatives Iam indebted for membership in the committee. I have communicated my deter- mination in this respect to the chairman of the Tammany Hall delegation to the 1: state con- vention.” The New York Star says: “When asked whether he intended to come out for Butler, Mr. Grady smiled as if amused by the question, but gave no answer, It is scarcely probable, however, that so active ‘and energetic a politician as Mr’ Grady will remain idle during the excitement of @ presidential campaign.” The following congressional nominations were made yesterday: Second Missouri district, John B. Hale, democrat. Twenty-second New York dis- trict, A. X. Parker, renominated, republican. First Ohio district, Jobn F, Follett, renominated, demo- erat. Second Ohio district, Adam A.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE STRIKING MIVERS—A BAT- ‘TLE, IX WHICH NO ONE WaS HURT—ARRIVAL OF ‘UNITED STATES TROOPS—A BETTER FEELING PRE- ‘VAILING, WITH 4 FAIR PROSPECT OF AN AMICABLE SETTLEMENT OF THE LATE LABOR TROUBLES. Correspondence of Tue EVENING STAR. Tomsstone, A. T., August 14, 1834. ‘Your correspondent has been spending a few @ays in this stirring young city, which is now the ‘scene of exceptional excitement. The mining in- ‘terest here is the controlling one, and gtyes life and direction to every department of business. Within ‘the past few years millions of treasure have been gathered trom these grounds, and this “gold excite- Ment” has drawn all classes of people here from every part of the country, so that the population has been estimated as high as six thousand, though ithas been much reduced by recent events. The good and the bad elements of society have met and mingied in a heated strife tor pelt and power. For ‘the month of May six or seven hundred miners vol- untarily abandoned their work by reason of a re- duction of wages from four to three dollars per day, which caused a = COMPLETE SUSPENSION OF THE MINING OPERATIONS kinds of business, and a general distraction of the public mind. Private consultations and public meetings have been frequently held to discuss the altuation and to suggest measures of compromise, Dut all efforts in tls direction have, up to this time, signally failed. The superintendents of the mines have positively refused to recede from thelr Position by raising the prices of labor, and the miners’ union has as obstinately declined to accede to the proposed terms of the employers. ‘This pro- tracted and passionate contest between capital and labor has of late assumed some serious aspects not only in that it has brought a nuinber of individuals ‘and families to the very door of destitution and distress, but especially because ft has excited fears ‘of an actual emeute tn the community. In this ex- elted state of the public mind some were led to be- fieve that. & forelble seizure of the mines would be attempted by the malcontents; others have anti- cipated a conflagration of the town by the torches incendiaries; whilst others again are in constant apprehension of the private assussination of promi nent individuals Who have been most pronounced in thelr views on the situation. So that a secret feeling of insecurity and terror has prevailed to a greater or less extent for months among the ciUl- zens, A BLOODLESS BATTLE. On last Friday night, however, the popular ex- citement reached its culmination by reason of an attack on the Grand Central mine by a body of 40 or 60 men concealed behind piles of wood and earth, ata distance of 50 or 100 yards from the works. From this concealment they fired a number of shots into the bulldingsof thisestablishment,without any damage to persons ot property, except a few Dulict holes in roofs and chimneys. ‘The fire by the assall- ‘ants was promptly returned by the handful of men employed at the works, but without fatal effect, so far as known. Iv is popularly believed that the at- tacking ee consisted of members of the Miners’ Union. But whether it was their purpose to kill or only to frighten those who had renounced their al- Tegiance to the league and returned to work, 1s SUll @ Vexed question. I find a divided sentiment in the community, on this point. | Future developments may bring to light the true intent of this assault. AS a consequence of this bold act, the following card appeard in the Saturday's issue, August 9th, of the Tombstone Epitaph, containt the names: Of the superintendent and foremen of mines.

But a majority of the members treated this manifesto with ap air of absolute in- difference, and, even proud contempt. ‘They are not only utterly unwilling to go to work them- selves at present prices. but are not disposed to allow those who would Work to do so. There are lenty of men here from the east who are anxious Qoaccept three dollars a day for thelr services, but under a system of terrorism they are deterred from entering the mines. THE ARKIVAL OF THE SOLDIERS CREATES A SENSATION. On last Tuesday morning about nine o'clock, one commanded by Capt, Tisdall, and tn full equip- ment, marched quietiy through the town and es- ‘tablished their camp on Contention hill, which commands tne principal mines of this place. ‘The arrival of the soldiers created a profound sensation among the citizens and a majority seemed to over- flow with expressions of gratitude and joy at their advent. They claim that the presence of the mill- tary will conduce to the peace and safety of the city and that 1t will produce a fine moral impres- sion, Inasinuch as it indicates the purpose of the government todiscountenance all riot and rebellion and to maintain law and order throughout the la ‘THE AUTHORITIES BLAMED. Other citizens, however, deprecate the coming of the troops, and deem their presence utterly un- necessary at the present time. They say that the people here are amply able to protect themselves inst. threatened disturbances, and that the au- Uhorities of the town ought not 'to have called for an armed force till they had exhausted their own Tesources. ‘They say, moreover, that these authori- Ues were cognizant of the attack on Friday night, and that they employed no means to prevent it— that they parleyed with the attacking party in question, and on recelving the assurance that it ‘Was not’ their purpose to invade the town these public officers retired from the scene of action, and thus allowed full liberty to the others to advance to the Grand Central and make a hostile demon- stration against it. It ts thought, too, by some that it will certainly tend to injure the character of the place abroad when it becomes known that a garrison of soldiers is necessary to preserve 1ts Peace and security. It 1s still a mooted question as to who has the honor, or the blame, of first moving 4m the matter of bringing the troops here. It 1s understood, of course, that they have come here by ‘an order from the War de Ment, in compliance with a requisition fromthe governor of the territory. But no one Seems to know who made the application to this government official for military aid. Was it the Authorities of the town, or was it prominent citi zent who are deeply interested in the mines? It Was probably the latter, inasmuch a8 one of the municipal officers here expressed his great surprise when he saw the soldiers marching through the strests. ‘The writer read a telegram yesterday from the acting governor of the territory, statin; that he did not know the situation of things ai ‘Tombstoue, aud asking forfull information from the commander of Company C. ‘That information nas Deen conveyed to him through the proper military channels, and what will be the effect of it on his mind events must determine. PROSPECT OF PRACE. have thus aimed to write a “true and unvar- nished tale” of the present troubles at Tombstone, seeking to do justice to both sides of the question by simply developing the facts in the case as they have come under my personal observation and a8 they have been elicited from the testimony of can- did and impartial witnesses. I believe that this unhappy strife will soon come to an amicable close, and that harmony and prosperity will again return to thisenterprising people, ‘The business houses are all open with a fair run of custom; the miners are gradually returning to their field of labor, social are constant occurrences, attended by music and dancing and all manner of hilarious excite- ment, and men and women walk these streets day and Hight without molestation or menace.

She was taken to the first precinct station. Last night she Was taken sick and was allowed to go to her home. Mary 1s a Jet black woman of about 40 years of age, a daughter of the late Michael Shiner, who spent over half a century as a laborer in the Washington Davy yard.

SEARCHING YOR a BAB! It appears that on the 4th day of July lasta bright mulatto girl, twenty-two years of age, named Lottie Coleman, was delivered of a healthy female child at Mrs. Amarolia’s house, and while in the house she was requested to vacate her room for a young white girl who was coming there to be confined. She also saw another colored cirl come ther» for the same purpose. Lotte stated that having paid the charges and recovered on August 6th, she gave Mary $15, and she was to take the child to St. Ann's infant asylum, and she (Lottie) Supposed the child was there. When she went to ‘her mother’s and talked over matters the mother agreed that she should raise the child, and both of them went to St. Ann’s to get it, but found that no such child had been received there. They thea went to see Mary, but could get from her ‘nO satisfaction as {6 what disposition had been made of It, and a few days since Lottie reported se LO Major Dye, the chief of police, who as signed it to Detective Cox.
