Pat Rogers Burned to the Water’SHige. SUPPOSED WORK OF AN INCENDIARY. List of the Lost, Missing and Saved--The Engineer's Statement. CINCINNATI, Onto, Angust 5, 1874, ‘The steamer Pat Rogers was burned this morn- ing one mile below Aurora, From particulars received it appears that several bales of cotton, which formed part of her cargo, caught fire about five o’clock this morning, and the boat was burned to the water's edge. Both the boat and cargo— the latter consisting of cattle, sheep and hogs, be- sides cotton—are a total losa, The passenger register and all the books were destroyed. STATRMENY OF THE ENGINEER. Mr. Holmes, the engineer of the steamer, arrived tm Cincinnati on the noon train, and was inter- viewed by a reporter of the Cincinnatl Pimes. He gives the following account of the burning:—“It was just about six o’clock, when the steamer waa just opposite Loughery Creek, that fows into the Ohio River two miles below Aurora, that I noticed & bright light among some bales of cotton in the after part of the boat. 1 hastened to the spot and founa THE COTTON BURNING RAPIDLY and beyond any possibility of being immediately extinguished. I hurried on deck and gave the alarm to the pilot and tol4 him to run the boat ashore, He had just tarned her head to the shure when she became unmanageable. The pilot states that hecould turn the wheel but the steamer would not answer toherhelm, He thinks the tiller rope had been cut. From this fact it is thought that the fire was THE WORK OF AN INCENDIARY. Another theory is that one o! the deck passen- gers while smoking dropped a spark from his pipe into the cotton, When the boat became unman- ageable she drifted on to the sandbar and there grounded, The flames, instead of spreading along the lower deck, at once SHOT UP TO THE CABIN and pilot house and then swept across the hurri- cane deck. The passengers were all aroused and the boats lowered and many were carried ashore, but others, in their fright, jumped into the water, and those who were not drowned reached a safe landing place, after drifting a long time with the current, There were nearly 100 people on board.

Many sunk by clinging to each other in the water. The scene of the wreck is thirty miles below here by the river, and is above Langhery Creek, and a mile and a half below Aurora, ‘The fire was discovered about forty minutes past four A. M., a time when all tne passengers wero asleep. The crew seem to know little about it, HEARTLESSNESS AND HEROISM were displayed in awful contrast. The officers exerted themselves nobly to save the pas- sengers. A man who claims to be the last to leave the boat says the last object he saw was a@ child, three years old, who was beyond hisreach. It was alone, naked, danc- ing with pain and shouting and crying as the flames burned it, Not one of six small chidren aboard was saved. Two men were brought ashore dead, Four women, who were afterwards saved, stood on the hurricane deck, where they shouted till hoarse, imploring the river pirate on the Ken- tucky shore to come over and help, but he refused. A BRAVE MAN came down the river later barely in time to save them at his own great peril. One young man, Robert Moore, says @ woman came to him with a child and begged him to save them. He threwa mattress in the river and told. her to jump upon it. Halt a dozen men seized the mattress and the woman rushed away half frantic and bewildered. Moore lost sight of her, and thinks she was burned witn the boat. Captain Davis says the oMci's were awakened promptly and ran at once to th rooms of the pas- sengers and tried tosame them.

Many Modern Stractures in Imminent Danger—An Acre of Ground Burned Over—The Water Supply Inadequate— Losses and Insurance. Boston, August 5, 1874. Six alarms called the entire Fire Department to South Boston between nine and ten o’clock this evening, the Soutn Boston Railroad stables, occupying nearly half the square between Broadway, K, L and Fourth streets, being well ablaze before the bells struck. The flames were first seen in the hayloit, in the rear of the Treasurer’s ofice, at twenty minutes past nine o’clock, and rapidly spreading through the second story. They gained great headway before the ap. paratus could be brought into use, and before half of the department were at work the Water Works proved inadequate to a full supply tor the engines. Tne structure occupied pearly an acre of ground, and the walls were of brick and not very high, which proved the salvation of the wooden dwellings immediately contiguous. Tho alarm was given in season to save 350 horses and cars which were in the lower story, but the sta- ble, carnouse and @ large stock of hay were en- tirely consumea, The building was valned at $80,000, on which there was an insurance of $60,000. The stock was insured for $80,000, consequently the loss to the company will be small, except tn the matter of in- convenience in stabling until rebuilding is com- pleted. The Fire Department worked admirably, considering the small supply of water. Thatcan be attributed only to the insaMicient size of the Mains irom the reservoirs. An immense crowd gathered to witness the con- flagration.

MR. MOULTON’S ADDRESS TO THE COMMITTEE, At the meeting of the committee last evening Mr. Moulton made the following statement:— GENTLEMEN OF THE ComMMITTER—I have received your invitation to appear before you. I have been Teady, on any proper occasion, to disclose all the facts and documents known to me orin my posses- elon relating to the subject matter of your inquiry, but Ihave found myse!f embarrassed because of my peculigr relations to the parties to the con- troversy. Friendly for years to ali of them, and at the time Of the outbreak of this miserable business having the kindest feelings toward each, | endeav- ored to avert the calamity hat has now falien upon all. Most fully and coniidentially trusted by ail parties, is became necessary that I should know the exact and simple truth of every fact and cir- mutual consent, in some sort the arbiter of the affair, and, after the estrangement, the medium of communication between the parties, each saying and writing to me such things as were desired to be said or written to the otuers, and in such case I | gave the information or showed the communication | to the person intended to receive or be aifected by 4t, Under these circamstances I have not leit at | liberty to give testimony or tacts thus obtalued in | the sacredness of confidence beiore a tribunal not | wutnorizea by law to require them, however much otherwise I might respect its members and ob- jects, without the consent of the parties from whom I received the disclosures and documents, | With the consent or request of Mr. Beecher and | Mr, futon | have held myself ready, sorrowingly, to give all the facta that | know about | Allow me to express my | the objects of Inquiry of the committee, and produce whatever papers 1 have to tne committee and leave copies of the aame with them Mf they desired it—with, perbaps, the one stipula- tion that if I have to give my evidence orally or to be crossexamined, I might bring with me @ phonvgraphic reporter in order that I-should nave an exact copy of my testimony Jor my own protec- jon. 1 am to-day in receipt from tne Rev. Henry Ward Beecher and Mr. Theodore Tiiton of their consent and request—thus apsulving me thereby from my confidential relations toward them—io appear before you and to give to vou the iacts and docu- | ments with reference to the differences between | them. It appears to me that as Mr. Tilton has given his evidence and Mrs. Tilton likewise, Mr. Beecher should be requested to add his own, in order that the three principal parties in the case shall have been fudepeudentiy heard on their own responsi- bility before I am called to adduce the facts in my possession derived from them all. Neverthe- less, since I am now fully released from my confl- dential relations with the parties involved in this | atfatr, and since my only proper statement | must consist of “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth,” I'see no especial reason | why it may not be made at one time as well as at another. But as my statement will necessarily in- clude a great multiplicity of iacts and papers I must ask a little delay to arrange and copy them. Accordingly, 1 suggest Saturday evening, August 8, as an evening convenient for me to lay my state- ment belore the committee. Yours truty, FRANUIS D. MOULTON, BROOKLYN, August 5, 1874. END OF THE TILTON LIBEL SUIT. The Gaynor-Tilton libel suit came up for the third and last time yesterday morning at the Third District Court, Brooklyn, before Justice Riley. The hall was crowded in every part, but ‘Theodore Tilton was conspicuous by his absence. ‘The proceedings were exceedingly brief. The Justice calied the names of the complainant and defendent, when Mr. Gaynor, stepping before tue | bar, said :- If the Court please, Ihave prepared the papers to apply to the Supreme Court for a mandamus to | compel Your Honor to proceed in this case. Hav- | ing satisfied myself that & Warrant should be | issued, and having issued the same, I claim that it was the duty of Your Honor to proceed unless 1 consented to a withdrawal of the complaint, or unless it was dismissed for & mere iniormality in | the aMdavits, of winch there has been no pretence here, and, Ciaiming this, 1 have no hesitation in stating, a8 @ lawyer, that the Supreme Court would grant me & mandamus upon tie afidavits in this case; but it has como to my knowledge, and the Knowledge of the world I may say, that the deiendant in this case is to bring this matter before the courts of his own ac- cord. My motive tn instituting this Pika tr I stated here before, Truth, ight and justice, aud the conservation of a weil defined law of the Coim- monwealth were only motives, ‘These ends | will now be attained much better, I dare say, ina higher court. I therelore with great pieasure | withdraw my complaint in this case, and leave tue arvies Interested and who are Cy i Imay say, fh the full sight of Christendom tn a lue and death } struggie, to conduct the investigation with a vigor | which I could not bring to bear aponit, I holdin my hand a despatch trom @ counsel eminent in the land upon whose assistance I relied, 1 have only to say that considering the turn affairs have taken I cheerfully withdraw my own compiaint. Judge Riley—fhe Court is only too willing to consent to the withdrawal of tiis complaint. The case 1A dismissed and Theodore Tilton is dis- charged. INTERVIEW WITH MR. BEECHER.

I don’t know at all what 1s being said avout ine.” REPORTER—YoOU are a happy iran in these days, Mr. Beecher, not to be compelled to read the papers. Mr. BEECUER—Well, my life has been TOO PLEASANT, ppose, and I must expect to find some hard | places. Throughout the conversation Mr. Beecher wae calm, but not ag jocose as usual. His manner was very gentic and Kindly, but his mind was evidentiy reoccupied. While he exhibited occasional | Hashes of his old-time spirit, the subdued tone of nis conversation led to tue inference that the anx- reties of the moment weighed upon his spirits, But it was: impossibie to resist the conviction, even after so brief an interview, that Mr. Beecher had neither lost faitn io his triends nor hope im his final extrication from the diMewines which surround him, It could readily be gathered from the tone of his remarks that he reposed unlimited confidence in the members of the committee, and had given his case entirely tuto their keeping, and that ne intended to be guided by them and the counsellors who are aiding them, Mr. Beecher is apparently in excellant health; his cheek is ruddy ; his form as erect aud portiyas ever, and he assures inquiring friends that nis digestion 1s g00d, MUSICAL AND DEAMATIO NOTES, Professor William H.
