The steanter M, "A. Starr returned at four o'clock this morning from the wreck of the City of Wash- ington, bringing all the cabin passengers, about three hundred of the steerage passengers and Dr. Wilson, the surgeon of the ship, and several of the stewards, All the steerage passengers and thir. teen of the cabin passengers were transferred to the steamer Falmouth, which sailed for Portland at eight. o'clock A.M. The steerage passengers were very cheerful under the circumstances and seemed to take their misfortune in good part. Many of them were dreadfully sunburned from ex- posure in camping out at Port Lebear. They are all deeply thankful for their providential escape and quite happy at the prospect of reaching their destination. The passengers who remained behind ‘will go on by rail. Several of them belong in New England. Czxptain Phillips and bis oMfcers and crew will remain.at the wreck until ail the steerage passengers are sent up here. The M. A. Starr goes back to Port Lebear for the remainder of the steerage passengers. They will be forwarded by Tail to the places of their destination. CABIN PASSENGERS’ OPINION OP THE WRROK. The passengers say that as far as they could judge the steamer was too far north of her course; that if the course hed been more sdutherly the eteamer would have cleared this coast. THE POSITION OF THE STEAMER is much the same as previously reported. It was very rough. yesterday in the vicinity of the wreck, A heavy swell from the southward in the morning caused the sea to break with great force and vio- lence acroas the bar where the vessel lay, This cansed the vessel to lift. and surge'so much that at ine o'clock she parted abaft the foremast wheel- house, which part immediately tell over and sunk in fourteen feet of water, carrying one man witli It, wio clung to.a small part that remained above water, ‘The man was reacued with great difficulty, The breakers made a clean sweep over the aiter part of the wreck, which remained upright, All the spars went overboard with a crash when the snip parted, except the mizzenmast, which still remains stand- ing.

The cabt passengers speak in terms of praise of th fina ness of Mr. James Harding, of Pt whose house they were 80 comfortab! while waiting for the arrival of the A. and on lea’ ng they presented him with a purse, in token of their appreciation of his conduct. FURTHER DETAILS OF THE WRECK. itarr, What Might Have Happened Before the Passengers Escaped—A Boat Swamped— The Harbor of Foge—Action of the Pas- sengers. Hauirax, N. S., July 11, 1873. The goods in the part of the ship which sunk were all broken up and a considerable quantity was re- covered by schooners in the vicinity. The cargo in the after part of the ship, itis thought, will all be saved in a damaged condition if the weather continues fine, Captain Doane, of the Starr, says the scene at the wreck when the vessel broke was one of ex- treme peril for the officers and crew who were on board of herat that time. The crash as the im- mense hull broke in two was fearful, and struck the beholders on the deck of the Starr with awe. All the boats were on shore at the time except one, which was alongside the wrecked steamer. 48 soon as the ship began to break up a sig- nal was. made from the ship for the boats to return. The boat which was alongside wus taken by the second engineer and some of the fire- men, who gotinto her and left the ship. They lay off from the vessel a short distance, waiting an op- portanity to get alongside again. Just then a heavy sea struck the boat, laying her broadside to the breakers, when she filled and swamped, The accident was seen from the M. A, Starr, and Cap- tain Doane immediately manned and lowered a boat and sent her to the assistance of THE UNFORTUNATE MEN WHO WERE STRUGGLING IN THE SURF. A line was thrown to the swamped boat and the M. A, Starr’s men towed them into smooth water and safety. They were very grateful for their deliverance when they bad recovered. The unfortunate men lay down in the bottom of the.boat from sheer exhaustion. It was ‘then getting too rough for the M, A. Starr to remain near the wreck, and Captain Doane was obliged to run into Port Lebear harbor. When the M. A. Starr left, at four o’¢lock yester- day, the weather was calm, but there was a fearful head sea running. Captain Doane thinks that if the the stake- | 8eakept up as bad aa it .was yesterday morning Smith, | until high water last night the after part of the ship ‘will haye been broken up. A late despatoh to-day, however, there is no immediate probability ot. the after part breaking up. A deabof dificulty was e: 4 in em- barking the passengers yesterday. The little steamer M. A. Starr could not remain in the vi- cinity of the wreck on account of the heavy sea, that was running, and 80, alter the ip parted, f went round to Port Lebear barbor. Here Captain Doane left his steamer and travelled on foot five miles to where the passengers were camped. He advised Captain Phillips to passengers to walk across to Port Le Bear . a8 that was the only place where they could be em- barked. ‘The steam tag Daisy brought the cabin passen+ gers around trom the wreck to the M. A, Starr, and after the steerage it over panengers had foo! the country to Port Le Bear Harbor. were employed to put them on board the steamer, with the assistance uf her own boats, all of which was Ey TT by four P.

There was but little betting on the result, but im the few pools sold before the first heat Laura Keene was ‘the favorite, Laura won the firet and third heats, Mary Louise the second and fourth heats; then the fifth was decided a dead heat botween them, yet Laura scoring the sixth heat ele was accorded the race, which was very closely contested and exciti throughout, Pauline, not winning a heat in five, should not have hy allo’ to start in the sixth heat, but the judges overlooked this fact in the business they were compelled to transact.

Linvicnye or The Single Scull Race Won by Wm. Scharff and the Foar.Oared Race by the Harvard Crew. Pitrapuna, July 11, 1873, The regatta at McKeesport this afternoon at- tracted @ large assembiage of persons, and as an aquatic display it was a decided success. There were two events, one was @ single scull race for a purse of $100, for which there were three entries :— viz., William Schard, a young aspirant to the cham- pionship, now matched against Henry’ Coulter, Nic Denmarsh, who was beaten at Toronto by Lanther, and Robert Sweetger, ‘The! course was three miles, one-half mile tostakeboat and return, The contestants got in line by three o'clock, when the word was given and a beautiful start was effected. Schari! immediately shot to the lead, closely pushed by Denmarsh, At the stakeboat Scharff was half a dozen boat lengths ahead and homeward bound, He increased his lead and won the race with the greatest ease. Deumarsh was second, some threo lengths ahead of Sweetzer. Time even by Judges is 238m. 30s,, which is con- sidered good. There was but little money staked on this struggle, as very few questioned Scharif’s ability to carry off the prize, For the four-oared race there were five entries, This was one of the most exciting and interesting races ever seen in this viciuity, and thousands on shore gave expression to their delight by fluttering of handkerchiefs and shouts of encouragement, ‘Tire Harvard crew were the favorites, consisting of Mike Hammer, stroke; Gus relter, Fred Bulger and Thomas Bulger, bow.

At four o'clock a start was made, the Sheridan crew darting to the lead, tollowed closely by the four others, The boats kept ail in @ bunch for almost a mile, when the Sheridan crew, which up wo this time held the lead gallantly, yielacd' it to the Howards. The Fisher crew drew their boat almost even with the pheridan’s. The course was four miles, and every point of it was gamely contested, the jowards rowitg well and never allowing the others to get nearer than a boat's length of them. They won eventually, row- ing four miles in 2m. 308. The Sheridan crew were @ good second, the Fishers third, Juntatas fourth and Sohos fifth. The regatta was a fine affair, and caused the people of McKeesport to turn Out en masse. Many of the merchants closed up their places of business. The Pittsburgers re- turned home this evening. LEOMINSTER, MASS, IN FLAMES, Worcester, July 11, 1873. Leominster suffered last night from the most ex- tensive flre that has ever occurred in that town, At a quarter-past eleven o'clock a fire broke out, apparently in the kitchen of Charles T, Wilder's restaurant, in Burdell Block, opposite Monument square, in a line of wooden buildings, close together, The building in whioh the fire originated was occu- pied by Wilder, with the ert of a boot and Shoe store, kept by George W.

An hour or two after his depar- ture two gentlemanly-looking young men, with smooth faces and about twenty years of age, rang the bell and asked if the said lawyer was in, giving hig name, The girl replied that he was out, when the thieves—for such they were—told her they had an appointment with the gentleman and would wait for him, at the same time asking to be shown to his room. The girl, dreaming of no harm, led the thieves up to the room, where they seated them- scives. They further put her of hor guard by asking for some ice water, which sho brought. Nothing more Was seen of them; but when the lawyer returned he discovered he Lad loat every stich of his clotl gerne Jewelry and @ valise in which the thieves had carried otf their plunder. & similar attempt Was made in the same house a fow months ago, @ Woman who asked for a certain lady residing there, but as auother boarder recog- nized the thief &§ one who had been around a year before she fled, and was out of sight before she could be captured, This kind of robvery is becom- ing very common, It geporaily takes piace in the forenoon after the men have gone to business and the ladies out shopping; so housekeepers are warned against well dressed strangers who want to be showa to the boarders’ rooms.

(Mr. Jones, it should be remarked, had been absent from home for several days, a fact that was well known in the immediate neighborhood.) It was at this time, and Mrs. Jones was sitting near the ‘fireplace, Mrs. Dozier still sitting close to the window, when the murderer, Jim Brown, entered at aside door, with a rough, jagged oak club in his hand, Approaching Mrs. Jones, ho demanded money, when the old lady, not dream- ing of his terrible purpose, replied if he did not go away she would tell’on him, He then tried to snatch the keys from her, but she evaded his at- tempt, and was endeavoring to rise from her chair when the murderer raised his club and struck her two terrific blows on the uead, which scattered her brains on. @he floor and left her @ corpse. Terrifed. beyond. concep- tion, Mrs. Dozier then rose from her chair, and oxclaimed in the most piteons tones:— “S04, DON'T KILL MB,” and ran towards the door in a vain effort to save her life by making her escape. The murderer was too quick, however, for he struck her three blows on the head, too, with tlie same piece of wood and both the aged ladies lay dead, weltering in their blood, the brains of both scattered over the floor, walls,and furniture of the room: The skulls of both the ladiés were crushed in, the jawbone of Mrs. Jones was broken and Mrs. Dozier’s right arm smashed in several places. Tho latter lady, from tne mangled cofidition of her'corpse; appears to have made some defense, for the first blow came on both her head and hand, making ® gash in’ the frst and breaking tho latter, which staggered and brought her to the floor. As she fell the second blow came on her head, crusbing tn the skull; and, not satisfied with this, he struck her the third time, killing her, and then again and again, with all the force and power of an infuriate demon, until all semblance or her face was gone, and blood and brains mingled in a common horrible mass. Looking the door, the murderer then proceeded to rifle the persons of his victims, and finding the keys in Mrs. Jones’ pocket, he went into her room where he found a portemonnate with A SMALL QUANTITY OF CUBRENOY, some three or four dollars, the only plunder with which his terrible crime was rewarded. He next went up stairs into Mrs. Dozier’s room, where the trunks and bureau drawers were open, but, from motives of fear and the expectation of discovery, he disturbed nothing, and his plans remained un- successfal. He was barefooted, and each step he took left an imprint in the blood of the two victims he had so mercilessly hurried into eternity. Brown then came back to the lower room, and, after cau- tiously opening the door, departed to bis home, the entire time of his presence in the house uot having exceeded twenty minutes. DISCOVERY OF THE MUB] The youngest of the daughters of Mrs. Jones left the charch a little before the others, and, in com- pony. with some friends, reached her now desolate ome between eleven and twelve o’clock midday, She jumped from the bi and ran to the house to tell her mother that her friends-had come to dine with them, Finding the front door locked, she ran round to the rear door, through which she en’ tered, laughing innocentiy and merrily at the sur. prise in store for her motherandaunt, On through he first apartment she went and into the second or front room, where she came upon the mangled corpses of both her mother and aunt. At first the poor 1 did not realize the awful tragedy. She hought they were asleep. But a second glance and tne terrible truth wag too vividly portrayed to her.

POPULAR EXCITEMENT, When the news of this atrecious double tragedy became widely circulated the greatest excitement prevailed, ‘and there was a loud and vehement clamor for vengeance, but no subject could be found to appease it, On the afternoon of the same day Brown, accompanied by his wife, visited Mr. Jones’ house, but he refused to view the corpses; and, leaving his wife there, lett the scene of the crime, His wife returned home soon after, but it was iate that night before Brown went home, and then he began in an excited manner talking about people coming to search the house, On the following aay (Monday) he began to plough, but did not con- tinae long at it, and, returning to his house, met his wife; who asked him to 0 the funeral of his victims, This he first posit refused to do; butt he flually yielded to her repeated requests and con- sented togo, On the way he frequently stopped, raying that tne Lord would forgive him for wha’ he Nad done. His wife tiren accused him of having committed the murders, and sald, ‘Jim, [have told you dozens of times that you wonld be hung,” to wiich-be replied, “THIS 18 MY TIME,” Jim then left her, and that night was arrested on suspicion of beng the murderer; but upon a pre- liminary examination he was discharged, there being no positive oF even slight evidence ‘That be was guilty.

A number of Norfolk policemen, who came on the excursion trom that city, volunteered their services to keep order; but some of . these fgentle- men, who.were drunk, kept the crowd ina roar with their antics. Far irom being solemn or impressive, the occasion was one of gayety, fesiivity, drinking and profanity, An itinerant root doctor drove ® thriving trade on the outskirts of the crowd. A oe candy merchant was equally successful, and nut and ginger cake woman voted it the best paying day for manya year, As soon as the murderer’s abiutious were performed he began coolly and calmly to make bis tollet for the scat fold.
