NEW YORK. HERALD, SUNDAY, The Colon Adrift in Ocean. Mid- HORRIBLE DEATH OF TWO MEN. | Safe Arrival of the Passengers. The steamship Colon. the appointments of which ‘were recently #0 severely criticised by returning pas- sengers from Aspinwal!, met with a severe disaster on ner outward-bound trip. Luckily only two victims met the fate which, for tho time, was anticipated by every- body on board. There were 145 passengers aboard, sixty-five of whom belonged to the cabin, and on Sun- day morning, the 20th inst., while Captain Griflin was holding religious servioo onthe quarter. | fleck, a terrible expiosion occurred. But the Borvices, nevertheless, proceoved, Dr oN. R Davis, the medical officer of the vessel, with tact and Promptness inciting the congregation to finish the bymn that Lad been so harmoniously commenced, There was no panic, Captain Griffin quietly laid down bis Prayerbook, and, unnoticed by the majority of the passengers, sped quickly to the spot. ‘Thts was at ten minutes past eleven o'clock, 750 miles from New York In latitude 28 deg. 17 min., longitude 174 degs. 4 min. with the sea smooth and the wind nowhere in ticular, On his passage to the engine room he wa met by Chief Engineer Brooks, who told hin the story In anuishell, “Captain, the low pressure crank shatt has given way.”? Without another word Mr. Brooks, who, like the Captain, according to the state- mont of the passengers, was cool and self-possessed, descended immediately to the main saloon and, closing | the doors, prevented the steam forcing its way aloft, an Occurrence that would at once spread alarm, Dr. Davis and Purser Docherty, however, doubtless appreciating the situation, and with a presence of mind worthy of romark, managod to keep the passengers at prayer, and long before tho sad results were known ali hands Decame resizned to the situation. It would appear, in the first place, that while el under w apparently in the best of form, the crank shaft broke, throwing forward the immense cylinders, breaking the the v supporting pillars beneath at the extreme upper por- tion and breaking open the steam supply pipe at the | throttle. fe = preesure oof = Seam =the | time was fifty-eight pounds, and the immense volume rushing out, M oun «Bunting, the third assistant engineer, and an oiler named James Farrell were suffvcated in a moment. The firemen on duty below escaped, and twenty minutes after the whizzing noise bad startled the people at prayer the Colon’s engines had ceased to work, and the vessel rolied about in the trough of the sea ina most helpless condition, for there was not a breath of wind, s0 to speak, and -ails were useless. Buta kind office was, nevertheless, performed even in th s terrible emergency. Captain Griffin called all bands, and in Announcing the fate of the poor fellows who fell at their post, calmly spoke what excited , Warned them, in the first place, to preservo hn to honor the remains of tt had passed away. impressive in view, an tnan 0 the now son souls becn or land ii lees, ‘alter the funerals was sled as the (wo corpses were erthe side o! the sh p, Never did passen have more nobly. here was not a word of comp! is migut naturally be ex) ected in sucka eases, irected toward the Captain, With a cheeriul | mid- doub a tear | dronped rs be. | iu | no sail ices All cyes, wore wok be went amoug bis chirge, boping for better pros- ut No wind and a roll- discouraging. s bad, wore decide 18 OULOOK W appearane: pecis, ing sen, | | Meanwhile the fag of distress had beet hosted, but | the melancholy rag seemed to doze aloft, no generous | pull of air proviaiming the situation, — Tow- | ard five v’elock light breezo sprung up | from the west, and with the hoisting of sail | as the vessel begen to have some steernge way | A leeling of joy set vessel had hardly go dd every soulon board.

Yesterday the excitement created by the perilous transit of tne East River by Mr. Farrington, upon the slender endless wire rope or “traveller,’’ was kept alive by the appearance of two men swinging from the same wire out over the middle of the river, and, so far as could bo seen from the level of the street, holding on only by their hands to the almost invisible rope above. The appearance of these men was caused by the stretching across of the first wire for a second “traveller,” to be erected on the towers opposite the one now in use, and to be precisely similar to that. Atetght o’clock yesterday morning the workmen on the Brooklyn anchorage rolled into position a mighty reel with 3,700 feet of wire rope, seven-eighths of an inch thick, coiled uporf it. One end of the wire was then lashed to the ‘traveller,” and, the latter boing | set in motion, gradually unwound the cable from the reel and bore the end of it out over the river, When | Sifty tect had run out the part of the cable nearest the reel was fastenod by a stout lashing to the working Tope, and simtiar fastenings were made at intervals of fifty feet aloug the whole length of the wire, When the end of the new rope had passed over the New York tower and reached the anchorage, it was fastened at either end ina sort of monster vice, It now hung in a mighty loop across the river, lashed fast to the revolving rope, Theso iashings bad now to be cul. It was intended to have this work done by men swung in “buggies” or light platforme suspended from | the wire by a shackle roller, so that it would slide easily. Owing to tho illness of the company’s blacksmith, however, these contrivances were not ready, and it was decided to have tho lashings cut by men swung out in “boatswain’s chairs.” Accordingly, at half-past one two expert riggers swung themselves from either tower simultaneously toward the anchor- ages, From the New York tower Henry Supple, a foreman rigger and sailor, twenty-six years of age, a native of Newfoundland, and who has been in the em- ploy of the company for flve years, was the man se- lected to perform THE PRRILOUS WORK, A piece of board, similar to that on which Mr. Far- Tington made his passage on Friday and known among riggers ag a boutswain’s chair, was fastened to an iron Ting or shackle to the traveller wire. Seating himself upou this and taking two half hitenes around tho wire with asbort piece of rope held in his hand aud by which he was to check his course when he should find himself moving too fast, the mtrepid fellow swung ver the verve of the tower and shd with lightning like v city down the incline until ho reached the tirst | lashing, when he checked himself by tightening bis rope. The lashing was severed with a couple of slashes with a keen edged knife, and the wire to which tho operator wag attached losing the support of the other fell down into a loop, causing tie cable to vibrate forcibly along its entire length, Ldosening the turns of | his rope around the ‘traveller,’ Supple slid with great speed to the next lashing, severed it and so passed on without epcountering any obstruction until the two wires wero separated {rom the tower to the anchor- age, a distance of 900 feet, the entire work cccupying but ten minutes, This performance was watched by an anxious crowd from the streets and wharves in the vicinity, and when the daring workman descended sately ho was the recipient af rousing cheers, Simul- taneously with Supple’s leaving the tower Wiliam Koenhner, another rigger, in obedience toa signal from the New York tower, staried irom the Brooklyn tower to cut the lashings between that structure and the anchorage adjoining.

Tbe episode caused thoso who witnessed it to hold their breath with fear for the life of a daring young man, It becn:ne evident that Carroll's block was a great hindrance, for it became jammed in a similar hianner at every lasing, so that, although ‘n ail the other cases he freed himself, he succeeded in cutting Dut five lashings out of the ‘entire thirty-five, when he was joined by Timbs, from the Brooklyn side. Now a new diffloulty arose,’ It was found impossible to pull the men asboro by the traveller, for that rope Was twisted twice around the rope whieh bad just been cut free from it Accordingly it was determined to pull the men up the incline by means of a rope passed out to them. A ring was passed over the wire to which they were swinging, a heavy weight was attached to it, and a long rope bemg fastened to the Inter, it was hoped thatthe contrivance would side down the deflection to the men. But it would not slide more | than 100 feet, while the men were ont about 150 fect Mes of Clinton and Warren.

HE ANSWERS CERTAIN CRITICI8MS AND CHARGES THE POLICE WITH INEFFICIENOY. New Havey, Conn., Angust 26, 1876, The interest here in the case of Carl Burk does not subside. The Joeal newspaper offices are invaded with communications having Jor their subject Burk’s recent alleged adventure, and in most instances they speak of Burk asacredibie man. The interest has been fanned Dy constant discussion, and no topic bas taken a deeper hold on popular attention, Burk makes a staiement concerning bis treatment by the police and advances a theory which ts interesting. He cays that the Supe: intendent of the New York police knows that Le (Burk) had not a fuir chance to verify his story. Wheu he leit the schooner by which he was picked up he icit his coat to dry and started to find a telegraph station, hoping to be able to notify tho Chief of the New Haven Police in time to have his (Burk’s) assail- ants arrested. After walking three miles he came to a police station, Here he told his story, and suggested that by telegrapbing to New Haven without delay good results would be achieved. The police, howe would not be convinced = without having investigated. Accordingly a police ollicer, alter having waited to eat breakfast, took a teatn and drove to the schooner. Alter a stay of some time he re- turned to the station and made an examination of Burk personally, and then sent Burk to the Police Headquartera, “By the time he had been questioned and identified his assailants had hud time to get out of e way. When the police wero satixticd that it was possible that Burk went out on the boat and that he did not SWIM OUT THROUGH HELL GATE, Word was sent to the Obiet of the New Haven police, Burk says that there is nothipg m Captain Peck’s story to be counted as disparaging Ine (Bark’s) character for truth. He was litted over the rail so adioitly that there was no possibility of scratching the paint on te deck or ruil, He savs that it is absurd also to regard it as an evidence of the falsity of his ‘statement that no scuille or cries were heard on the boat. He was awakened from a sound sicep ind bis “breath was sud- denly checked, Then to expect ope hurled into the heaving wake of a steamboat from a height of twenty- five leet to recover any power of speech soon enough to alarm passengers on the deck or on the boat moving rapidly away, 18 absurd. He wouid be bard’y on the suriace again before ho woald be dis- tanced, It was at midmight, und go dark that he could not easily, if ut all, have been seen in the water. He thinks that perbaps a pocket buok which might have protruded slightly from an inside pocket may have led to the belief that be bad money about bim, and so tur- nished Veyond. Supple again came to the rescue; sitting on a | loop of the rope thrown over the wire, ho worked his way out to the two workmen, who seemed very cool and unconcerned, Timbs, indeed, swinging in his lotty perch, with his folded arms ‘resting upon the upper wire, seemed about to go asleep, When Supple reached them, the end of the rope he carried ont was fastened to Carroll's chair, and Supple, seating bimseif im it with him, the two were soon pulled up to the tower, leaving ‘Timbs alone in the middle, A signal was now made to the people on the Brooklyn tower and one of the twists to the wire having pyssed to th e New York side, the engine was started cautiously ard Timbs, fastening himself to the “traveller,” was soon safe on the Brook- lyn tower, This ended yesterday's work. To-morrow another wire will be passed over ina similar manner, and the two being spiced, wili form the second ‘“travellor” or par of working ropes, With their help seven tem- porary cables will then bo stretched across the rive and on them will be built a foot bridge, from tower to tower, for the use of workmen, There willalso be fastened to them at regular intervals across the stream five cradics or platforms to bold tools and materinis and to serve ag resting places Jor the workmen, One of these temporary cables will be 25, inches in diame- tre, four of them Will be 2% inches and the last two will be respectively 1% inches and 14 inches. The cuiting of the lashings of these catles will be pe formed by men iu the *bugzies"? spo! of, whic will soon be finished. Althougn none of these cabl will enter 1nW the composition of the permanent cables | they will serve as trusses, ties and other parts of the, work. The permanent cables will bo tour in number, and each one will be made of nineteen separate wire ropes, laid straight together, Each cable will consist of no | than 6,000 fiuely tempered steci wires The temporary cables will probably all be stretched in tree weeks. THE END OF A STREET FIGHT, Peter Fitzimons, a carpenter residing in West Third street, ou Friday night parted with a friend in whose company he had spent the evening. Shortly afterward he beard a cry for betp, and found his friend and a man named John Bowles struggling together on the sidewalk. In order to eave his iriend Mr. Fitzimons struck Bowles over the head witi ‘his cane. On Fitzimons and Bowles being brought befure Justice Morgan at the Essex Market Court yesterday they were fined $10 each for disorderly conduc, ALBANY, August 26, 1876, The Court of Appeals will meet upon Monaay, Sep. tember 18.

RECRUITING FOR THE CAVALRY, THE ROSH TO FIGHT THE SIOUX—MARRIED MEN NEED NOT APPLY. The old Burton mansion im Hudson street, near Laight, where once the prince of low comedians dwelt Jn luxurious ease amid bis books and iriends, is now the daily scene ot wars, pomp aud alarms, as far as the rudimentary stages of recruiting goes’ Hundreds of hangry aud unemployed men have presented themseives since the publication of the order of General Sherman autborizing the eniist- ment of 2,500 men to ill up two cavairy regiments by companies to the standard of 100 men each, In the old library, once lined with the book shelves containing the comedian’s favorite authors, are now heard the echoes of the new re- cruit’s footiall as he marches quickly past in the school ofthe soldier, In the spot where rested the mabogany table that covered the feet of Jobn Broucham, Dan Setcheil, Charles B. Bishop, Murk Smith, Charies Mathews, Charles Fisher, William E. Biake, and the eider Wallack, may now be seen the unwashed recruit enuding himself of his raggea clothing, worn toa shiny fibre by the park benches, proepuratory ww the close inspection of Dr. Samuci i.
