The Captain of the Deutschland was ex- amined by an incompetent Coroner and stu- ‘pid jurymen, who were ignorant of the first principles of navigation, and, consequently, failed to elicit anything more than what is Already known. A SCENE OF CONFUSION. The Captain patiently bore the ordéal of two hours’ promiscuous questioning by the gurymen, half a dozen of them attacking the | witness almost in chorus.

He stated that the crew of the Deutschland numbered After he left Bremerhaven the wind increased to a gale. The steamer's speed was reduced to nine and @ half knots an hour at four on Sunday morning. The lead indicated seventeen fathoms of water seven minutes before the vessel struck. Immediately breakers were visible through the snow. He ordered the engines to be reversed ; the propeller broke before the vessel's way was checked. The wind being dead astern the steamer drifted on the sands twenty-eight hours before the tug rescued the survivors. The vessel filled at three o'clock Tuesday morning, when the passengers were ordered to the rigging. If a lifeboat had been sent out Monday night many more lives would have been saved. WANT OF A LIFEBOAT. It was elicited in the course of the exam- ination that uo lifeboat is stationed at Har- wich, ninety-nine. THE LIGHT ON THE GALLOPER SANDS. Captain Briickstein, replying to ques- tions, said he was not anxious at not seeing the light on Galloper Sands, as he did not expect to reach it until half-past six in the | morning. If the breakers had been seen | sooner the ship might not have struck, THE CAPTAIN'S TESTIMONY CORROBORATED. The other officers of the Deutschland testified, corroborating the captain's state- | mnents, ADJOURNED. The inquest was adjourned until Tuesday | next. Ii8T OF PERSONS SAVED. | The following’ is a corrected list of the | names of the persons who have been saved from the wreck of the Deutschland, as forwarded by the German Consul at Harwich.

Lonpon, Dec. 10—4 A. M. The Morning Echo has a despatch from Sheerness, reporting that the Deutschland has broken in halves. AT THE COMPANY'S OFFICE IN NEW YORK. At the office of the agents in this city of the ill- fated steamship Deutschland there was but little ex- citement yesterday. The greater number of the pas- sengers hailing from New York seemed to have been saved, and, consequently, there has been the absence of the throng of anxious inquirers that under other circumstances would naturally have been found at the headquarters in Bowling Green, Every caller, how- ever, Was treated with the greatest consideration, and, upon request, many special telegrams were forwarded for positive information, In addition to those already enumerated as having cause to believe that near and dear ones were on board the stranded vessel was the husband of Margaretta Meissner, who, with her child Maria, was on hor way here to join the former. In the list of missing tnese names are to be found, and the distracted head of the family desired some authentic news regarding them. Ho felt that many errors must have occurred in the hurry of collat- ing the lists and telegraphing thom, so ho held hope tightly to his heart and asked the agents to inquire as to their fate, They willingly did so, but up to a late hour no answer had = been received to the message. Similar in all its details is the caso of Babetta Rinderer and child, the name of the former having been published as saved and the latter as among the lost, Mr. Rinderer was at the office early in the morning, and upon request a telegram was promptly transmitted asking for informa- tion about them, but an answer had not been received when he left the place late in the afternoon. THE SAVED STEERAGH PASSENGERS, ‘The list of steerage passengers saved, which had been telegraphed for by the agents, was carly in the day re- ceived from Mr, Williams, the German Consul at Har” wich, England, The names were immediately posted, and transmitted to all the sub-agents of the company throughout the country. THE STEAMER LOS ANGELES. ‘The steamer Los Angeles belonged to the Goodall, Neilson & Perkins’ line of yessela whicn ply between San Francisco and British Columbia, and between San Francisco and San Diego, Cal. The public will remember that, up to about a year ago, this company ran @ coast line of ships to the above-mentioned and intermediate ports in opposition tp the Pacitic Mail Steamshtp Com- pany. While that opposition lasted the travelling peo- ple along the entire Pacific coast, from San Diego to British Columbia, had what the ‘‘old Slopers” emphatt- cally classified as “a good, soft thing;’’ the restless miners and ever-moving speculators could then travel hither and thither along nearly 1,100 miles of coast line at a mere nominal rate of fare, Both com- panies were tired of carrying stalwart fellows who never got seasick and who could do trencher duty like ploughmen between San Francisco and San Diego for the ridicuously insignificant sum of perhaps $: but noither of them cared to “‘cave in” first, and so the opposition continued. At Jast the two rival enter- prises agreed to a contract which finally threw the whole Northern Pacific coasting trade into the hands of Messrs. Goodall, Neilson & Perkins. The Puacitic Mail Company sold to these competitors their entire SQUADRON OF COASTING VESSELS for the sum of $600,000—more or less. which changed ownership on account agreement were:—The Prizaba, Senator, Ven- tura, Loa Angeles, Pacific, Ancon and ’Gipsey. Of these vessels the Ventura was wrecked near Santa Barbara about the middle of last April, the Paci- fic, whose fearful catastrophe is still fresh in every- bouy’s mind, was lost, and now the Los Angeles is re- ported to have gone down with all on board. The Los Angeles was built at Baltimore, in the year of this | 1866. She is of the description of ships known as wooden side wheelers; her length is 170 feet over all: breadth of beam, 27 feet; depth of hold, 11 feet; meas- urement, 490 tons register, She has been on the Pacitic coast trade for a considerable length of time, and for- merly belonged to the United States, when she was known asthe Wyanda, The Los Angeles cleared from San Francisco for Victoria, British Columbia, on the 29th of last month. She was commanded by Captain Thorn. Her rating on the erican register isAL She was schooner rigged. On account of their small size and little capacity to carry bulky merchandise of passengers, the Los An- eles and the Gipsey were usually employed in carr; g combustibles—such as ammunition, powder, kero- gene, oils and such like infammable materials. This sort of traffic kept these two little steamers constantly ‘at work on one or another’ portion of the coast along wifich they plied. And the steadily increasing popu. lation of our Pacific States and Territories involved a Proportisnate ‘augmentation of the class of goods car- r by the Los Angeles aud the Gipsey, therefore it was jonlt for the company to spare the services of either ship iu order that she might be laid up for rey fe ig @ notorious fact that some of the vessels which passed out of the Pacific Mail Steamsnip Com- y’s hands wore of the oldest models and weve bat destitate of the new inventions and many appliances introduced recently on steamships for the double pu: pose of gatety and convenience, The Senator, for in- stance, was on the Pacific coast as early as 1849 or 1850 during Callfornia’s first flourishing days of the ‘gold fever.” She then RAN ON THE SACRAMENTO RIVER and afterward between San Francisco and San Diego, calling at Monterey, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, Los Any § (San Pedro) and San Diego. Those ac- quainted with the Pavific coast trade have stated that the Senator has netted to her owners nearly enough | bullion to freight ber, It would seenr that the time has come when old tubs like the Senator should not be sent to sea with the lives and properties of our citizens, and those who authorize their going on a voyage, as well as owners who persist in using them, should be held to strict accountability for such fatal results as that now | recorded in connection with the loss of the Los Angeles.

STRENGTH OF THE LABORERS—A GREAT COM- BINATION PROPOSED. Prrtsaura, Dec. 9, 1875. The joint committee of conference of iron manufac- turers and puddlers, which will meet to-morrow, is the all-absorbing theme of conversation among working- men, as on the result depends work or idleness for thousands during the winter. All day long there was in session a meeting of the workingmen, with the view of consolidating al! the iron and steel roll hands in the United States, This 1s the result of the resolutions recently passed by all the iron men’s lodges in tho country for such a conterence. Nailers, heaters, rollers, roughers, catchers and puddlers will be joined in one grand national association if the efforts of the men now in session succeed. The conference is strictly private, and the usual courtesy extended to the press is denied tm this instance. Representatives of rolling mill hands are present from Eastern States, from Ohio, Llinois, Indiana, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, The pud- diers are also strongly represented by delegates from the various States of the Union Those weil informed in matters of this kind say that this is the most impor- tant labor meeting ever held in this eountry, and if the combination is effected it will exert a power that capi- tal gannot do otherwise than respect, It is not known what effect this conference will have upon the repre- sentations of the Iron Association at their meeting to- morrow, but it is presumed that the paddlers will go in strength, backed with assurances of support from all es of steel and iron journeymen manulacturers, FATHER GERDEMANN. BISHOP WOOD SUED BY CHURCH CREDITORS. Purapeurnta, Dee. 9, 1875. For some time past there has been in preparation measures for instituting a series of suits on the part of the creditors of St Bonifactus’ church to recover funds loaned to the diocese for the building of the oburch edifice. It may be remembered that these difficulties arose, so ft was alleged, from the defalca- tions of Father Gerdemann, the former pastor of the church. Bishop Wood was notified by a commitwe representing, it is sald, about $131,000 worth of claims, that some arrangement must be made that they might receive at least a portion of their elaims Notwithstanding strenuous efforts on the part of the reverend Father he has been unable up to the present time to give them any posi- tive assurances even for the future, Fatigued with long waiting, a number of the larger creditors havo joined issue in the matter and employed able counsel to bring the case into the civil courts and the prelimi- nary papers have passed between the parties in in- terest. It seems that there is a question of law upon the point whether a church property can be held liable to seizure for a criminal neg.ect or intent on the part of its pastor, This mooted question will, without doubt, be settled in the coming trials. EMBEZZLED MONEYS. THE UNITED STATES FUNDS STOLEN BY TRBASURY CLERK HALLECK—SUIT AGAINST OTTOMAN, WHO RECEIVED THEM. Rrcustoxp, Dec. 9, 1875. ‘The chancery suit and attachment proceedings of the United States vs. W, H. Ottoman, et al., begunin the Corporation Court of the city of Alexandria, in August last, and lately removed to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern district of Virginia, came up in the latter Court to-day upon the motion of Otto« man to quash and dismiss the attachment for errors in the proceedings. This suit was brought by the United States to recover of the defendant, Ottoman, the sum of $47,000, alleged to have beon received by him of Halleck, the United States Treasury clerk at Washing- ton, who embezzled the money, knowing the same to have been so embezzled, and to attach certain moneys belonging to Ottoman in one of the Alexandria banks. The motion to quash was argued by Ottoman’s counsel and by the District Attorney and Colonel Ball, of Alex- andria, for the government, and was submitted. Judge Hughes took the papers’ in the case and will probabiy announce his decision on Saturday. EX-COUNTY TREASURER MANN. ARREST OF MR.

For two. years past occasional robberies have oc- curred on local freight trains on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railroad bound south from Wilmington, and they have gonorally occurred in Marton county, South Carolina, from seventy-five to one hundred miles south of thiseity, Recently the two railroad warehouses at Marion were burned, with their contents, entailing the loss to the company of a large amount of money, and the fire was undoubtedly in- cendiary, In addition to this there have been occa Sional instances where attempts have been made to obstruct the track for the purpose of throwing off freight cars, the passenger trains which carry the mails never having been molested. It was known that a gang of outlaws and desperadoes inhabited a settlement in the Peedee Swamps, and the conclusion was reached that they were the AUTHORS OF TIE OUTRAGE, Last Thursday night a local freight train was robbed by parties who managed to secrete themselves on the cars at Marion, and afterward succeeded in breaking into the cars while in motion, This done, they threw out such freight as they could handle while the train was passing slowly over trestlework, and then jumped after it, Information of the fact was received here early the next morning, and the officers of the road at once instituted active measures for the dotection and punishment of the offenders, ‘The special agent of the road was telegraphed for and he at once went to work. It was not long before he had succeeded in getting on the track of the thieves and the goods and the robbery was traced to A GANG OF NEGRO THIEVES, who were located near the Gibson Plantation, about one and a-half miles south of Peedea, Tho agent worked up the necessary evidence and then applied for the aid of the law, which was promptly furnished, and warrants wore issued and placed in the hands of proper officers. It was then found by tho agent that tt would be necessary to call for assistance from points remote froin the scene of operations, as the swamps were full of sympathizers with the gang, who had inspirod such a terror in the minds of the white inbabitants that no aid could be looked for from them. The agent having made a requisition for aid, a special train left here last evening with about twenty-five courageous and determined men, all well armed, recruited from the bea of the companies and in the city, and all pre- pared for emergencies. All the requirements of the law were complied with. About midnight the train stopped very quietly at a point known as White House road and the party disembarked and proceeded on foot bout amile and a half to the scene of operations. ro the houses of the desperadoes, some eight or ten in number, were quickly surrounded and the inmates were CALTURED WITHOUT FIRING A GUN. Fourteen of the men, for whom there were warrants, were handcuffed and taken to Marion Jail, and among these there are said to. be several notorious oullaws whose deeds of blood and rapine inspired almost as much terror in the neighborhood as did the famous Lowery gang in Robvegon county, in this State, which, by tle way, borders on Marion. Only ‘one ol those so badly wanted bas escaped, and that was because he could not be found. He is said to be the most fearful scoundrel in the entire Gibson gang. The entire affair, which was plaaned by Colonel A. Pope, of the Atlantic Coast line; Major Anderson, Superin- tendent of the Wilmington, Charleston and Atianta Railroad, and Captain Kline, Assistant Superintendent of the same road, together with the special agent, was the most admirably arranged and executed kuown here since the war, ‘The peculiar dash and daring of tho undertaking can well be understood when it is stated that there are fully 100 desperatc men, with their families, residing almost within call of those captured last night. THE COLOR LINE IN MISSISSIPPI. NEGRO RIOTING—THE RAPBLE DISPERSED BY THE SHERIFF AND THE LEADERS KILLED. Vicksnura, Dec. 9, 1875, A serious encounter is authentically reported between the blacks and whites in Itssquena county. Two weeks ago a white man and a negro hada personal difficulty, in which the negro was wounded in the body. Armed negroes then visited the white man’s house, broke tnto it and beat him nigh unto death, Several negroes were arrested, but some of them escaped and organized a large armed force of negroes to rescue their com- panions, The Sheriff, Henry Soott, a colored republi- can, summoned a posse of white men to disperse the rioters. The posse, put in charge of Mr. Ball, a Baptist clergyman, found the negroes 200 strong. ‘They at- tacked and dispersed them, killing the leader, Noah Parker, Captain Arthur Brooks and five others No further trouble is apprehended by the Sherif, The scene of the difficulty ts in the midst of a dense negro population, about fourteen hours’ journey by river and thirty-Ove miles by land from Vicksburg. THE GILMOUR MURDER. COMMITTAL OF JOHN CLEMENTS AS AN aCcEs- SORY—BALL REFUSED—THE TESTIMONY OF DAVIS AND HIS WIFE, Toxoxro, Dee. 9, 1875. This morning, on the reassembling of the court, John Clements was committed to stand his trial at the assizes for being an accessory before the fact to the murder of Jeannie Gilmour, Application was made by his counsel for bail, but this the police magistrate re, | fused to grant on his own responsibility, so the applica- tion will be renewed before the County Judge. In the case of Frazer, charged with being an acces- sory after the fact, Alice Davis, the other convict, gave evidence to-day. Her statement was almost identical in every particular with thut previously made by her husband, though there were in one or two very uaim- portant particulars a slight variation, which, as was remarked by the magistrate, was probably due to the fact that her husband was, ‘by his own acknowiledg- | ment, nearly drunk when the occurrence referred to | took place. Mrs. Davis’ evidence was given in a very straightforward and connected manner, and every one who heard her was convinced of its trath. The case against Frazer will be resumed to-morrow morning. ‘The two convicts, Davis and bis wife, will be taken to the Penitentiary, where they have to spenu the rest of their days.
