FULLER DETAILS OF THE WRECK—A STORY BY THE BSURVIVORS—LIST OF THE LOST AND BSAVED—EECOVERY OF CAPTAIN CHILD'S BODY. ‘Wrarxorox, N. C., Sept 21, 1876, The steamship Regulator, of the New York and Wil- mington line, which touched at Beantort, arrived here to-day with Messrs Walter L. Parsley, J. M. Cronley and Fred Price, three of the survivors of the !ll-starred steamship Rebecca Clyde, which was wrecked at Ports- mouth last Sunday. Mr. Cronley furnishes the tellow- ing particulars ;— The Clyde left Smithville, at the mouth of the Cape ar River, at six o'clock last Saturday morning, the wikd blowing quite fresh at the time from the norvh- east) All told, there wero twenty-three persons on board)ysix of whomn were passengers, At twelve o’clock on Satu\day night Cape Lookout was passed, at which time all kas well and no apprehensions of danger were felt. At\ three o'clock on Sunday morning the wind \got around to the southeast and began to blow\a gale, which had increased atten o'clock, to a fearful storm. About seven o’clcok that portion of the deck load which was stored aft of the houses, consisting of about fifty harrels of rosin, began to roll about, and soon afterward broke the steering gear on both sides of thedeck. Some of the men were promptly pat to work to clear the chains, in which they wore assisted by Mr, De Loot Whilden, « passenger from Charleston. + While so engaged tho lashings by which the deck load was secured were Dlown overboard and fouled the ship’s propeller, and about the same time an enormous wave swept the deck and carried off Mr. Whilden, the first mate and two amen, who were all lost. About twelve o’clock Captain Childs gave up all hope of saving the ship, and stated that the only chanco loft was in beaching her. He knew that she wa: driven on the coast, and himself cast the lead as the ship struck on the sand, whi occurred about one o'clock, The Captain advised every one to provide himself with a life preserver and to prepare for a des- Perate attempt. At the same time bimeolf and the cook lowered one of tho boats, which he intended for himself and the passengers, while the otker officers and the crew were to take the other boat, As the Captain’s boat strack the water she was swept away at the same moment. Three of the crew sprang for the boat and managed to cling to it, al.hough it soon swamped. ne of theee was lost, but the others succeeded in reaching the shore, The re- mainder of those on board clung to the ship until she went to piecos under them, which was about three o'clock. The last seen of Captain Chilus was after the ship had gone to pieces, and he was then clinging to a spar with beth arms, He was thus seen by Mr. Cronloy, who also attempted to graep the spar, but missod it, and asho hada life preserver, was eventually saved. THE LOST. The following is a list of the lost:— Captain D. C. Childs, E. Elye, first mate, G Hennicke, second mate, Jones, chiet engineer, Mumlort, assistant engineer, Delion Whilden, passenger, Fred Williams, steward, Conely, coalheaver, Hubbard, fireman. John T.

MURDEROUS TRAMPS. ‘TERRORISM ON ACCOUNT OF ROWDY RUFFIANS ‘WHO BEG THEIR BREAD THROUGH NEW ENG- LAND. : Bosrox, Sept. 21, 1876, There {sa reign 9? terror on account of the tramp nuisance throughout the entire castern section of the country, in cities and large towns, as well asin the rural districts, Their dopredations and outrages are daily becoming bolder. Onty last Sunday an inoffen- sive old woman in the town of Otis was murdered without the slightest provocation, and when taken into custody the only explanation offered by the vaga- bond was that ho ‘‘couldn’t help it,” and he was ‘“‘per- fectly willing the crowd should lynch him.” An officer prevented this, however, and the wretch was to-day committed for murder. Another, the circumstances of which are moro hor- rible even than the above, is reported from Meaway, a small town a few miles southeast from this city. About twelve o’clock yesterday a tramp called at the house of Mr, John Neylon, near the brush factory, at the boundary between Medway and Norfoik, and asked for igo, fis wants were supplied and it was supposed ho had departed on his travels He proved to be a scoundrel, however, as ho decoyed a little daughter of Mr. Neylon, eight years old, into the woods, and attempted to out- rage her, The'child screamed for help, notwithstand- ing tho threats of tho ruifian, and her’ cfies aroused her father, who at onco went to her reltef. The tramp became so enraged at his falluro that ho lifted the child bodily and threw her into a pond, He then fied into the depths of the wood and escaped. Mr. Neyion tound the child in the pond, and, with the assistance of neighbors, rescacd her in an ox hausted condition. ‘There was great excitement in the town over the affair, and a large crowd turned out to scour the woods for the culprit. The indignation was intense, and bad the tramp been caught yesteruay he would have been lynched, The woods wero surrounded, but the search for the miscreant proved unavailing up’ to a tate hour last night. It 1 Known that he ia still in the woods, however, and the search for him continues. It is not improbablo that the citizens will take the law into their own hands if the criminal should be found. “MOLLIES” GETTING JUSTICE. MURDERERS AND PERIURERS VIGOROUSLY PROSE- CUTED IN PENNSYLVANIA, Porrsvinux, Pa, Sept. 21, 1876. Hitherto one of tho defences greatly relied upon by the criminal classes in this couaty, and especially by the ‘“Moilies,"? was the wholesale perjury of their friends to prove al:bis in case of arrest and trial. Sev- era notorious murderers have in the past escaped tho halter by this means, two of whom are known posi- tively to have been guilty, but who were not tried the second time. Wholesale perjury was relied upon by all the “Mollies'? when they were first arrested, and it 1s known throngh detectives that an entire hine of defence was prepared for Doyle. Just before his triatat Mauch Chunk witnesses wero drilled asto what they were each to swear to, The would-be perjurers somehow received intelligence that they had been betrayed, and Doyia had no defence at all. In the trial of the Yost marderers a number of wit- nesses for the defence perjured themselves und woro arrested. ‘Lhe law officers recognized the fact that for the safe administration of justice perjury must be made not only odious, but as davgerous to those who should be guilty of it a8 murder, A vigorous prosecution was, therefore, resvived upon.

THE COMMISSION IN COUNCIL WITH RED CLOUD AND HIS PEOPLE—THE CHIEYS WILLING TO @0 TO INDIAN TERRITORY AFTER EXAMINING THE OOUNTRY—SPECIMENS OF INDIAN ORA- tony. Rep Croup Agency, Sept. 19, 1876, } via Fort Laxamin, Sept 21, 1876. Tho commission succeeded to-day in bringing Red Cloud and his people to the council. Among the Prominent Indians present were Red Cloud, Little Wound, Swift Bear, Red Leaf, Black Coal, White Tail, Sitting Bull, an Ogallala Sioux; Pretty Crow, Eagle Dress, Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses and Quick Bear. Many officers from Camp Robinson attended the council, which lasted two hours, Red Cloud made the first speech. RED CLOUD'S SPERCH. He said he and his people wet illing to give up the Biack Hills country; also to have his young men take a journey to see the country spoken of by the com- mission (the lodian Territory), and if they report ita good country his people will soconsider. If they report it bad they will consider it bad. REMARKS OF OTHER CHIBVS, Quick Bear said that wnen the young men got back from that country the Indians would want to go to Washington with their agents, chiefs and interpreters, and hay talk with their Great Father before giving this country up. Sitting Bull, tho Ogallala, said:—“T havo got a judg- ment against the agent. It ho is sare every ten days promptly, it is all right; but if be don’t, I will go North. ?” Young-Man-Afraid-ot-His-Horses said:—"My father shook hands with thesGreat Father on the Platte, and was told that this country belonged to the Dakotas. Iwas brought up in thia country to beachief, The ldiers have no concern in this country since. I havo been here and have tricd todo mght I wish to tell you plainly I have been ashamed ever since soldiers came here and sat down, I wish you 1s would tell my eat Father what my opinion is and what 1 have id. L agree to the young men going on the journey, but we are going to ask the Great Father agroat many things, We expect to havo food and blankets as long as welive, The Great Father has not lived up to his promuscs in the past.’’ INDIAN SARCASM, : American Horso said the soldiers had no business here, If they wish to arrest anybody the country is ‘wide, lot them go and arrest them; there are a great many bad men in the North, let the soldiers go and arrest them. (Laughter on the part of the Indians. Here Red Cloud took Dr. Daniels, Major Howard and Joseph Bismett and set them among the Indian chio's, and said he wanted them to do his business tor him and go to the Southern country with bis young men, and he also wanted ¥. C. Boucher, Antoine Janis, Bull Lowiand, Hank Clifford, Tedd Randall, Frank Solway and Nelso Moran to go os interpreters, RED DOG'S SPEECH, Red Dog said the Indians were not willing to sign any paper until the young men got back irom ti Southern country and they bad a, chance to go to Washington and talk face to face with the Great Father, Black Coal, chief of the Arapahoes, said his people had an equal right with the Sioux to the Black Hil country, and they would want their share of mon: received for them. Hojwas willing to gp and look at the Southern country. BISHOP WHIPPLR’S REPLY. Bishop Whipple replied to tho Indians tbat the Great Father reqaired them to sign a pi pet, binding them- selver to go to tho Missouri River. If they did not go to tho Indian Territory they would get no more rations, Ho urged them to consent at once to the proposition and go to the Indian Territory upon the return of the young men. Judge Gaylord, Solicitor of the Interior Department, followed to the same eifect, urging prompt action on their part in order to secure rations in the future. - While he was talking Sitting Bull, to whom the Presi- dent gave a fine rifle last year, broke up the council, saying there would be plenty more days to talk. Sup- plies were issued to the Indians for a feast to-night, and it is thought another council may be held to- morrow. TROUBLE WITH THE XNEZ PERCES INDIANS— ANOTHER TREATY BROKEN AND ANOTHER ‘WAB THREATENED. Wasntxaroy, D. C., Sept. 21, 1876, General 0. 0. Howard, in command of the Depart- ment of Oregon, has arrived here to endeavor to adjust the difficulty with the Nez Perces Indians, which threatens to result in a general Indian war on that frontier. These Indians claim that promises made to them by the Modoc Peace Commissioner, Meacham, to the effect that a certain valley, with its salmon fish- eries, should be reserved to them {reo from tho white men, have been broken, Through the influence of tho government of Oregon and the late Secretary Delano this valley was opened to settlement. WAR THREATENED. ‘The whites have crowded in there and bave threat- ened to drive the Indians out. One Indian was re- a by white men and both partie: pow arming. General Howard is of the opinion th: commission of civilians and army officers could adjust the difficulty and prevent a war, which would cost the government at least $10,000,000,’ The Interior Depart- thorities seom to approve General Howard's plan, and it will be submitted to the Adjatant General ot the army. GENERALS SHERIDAN AND CROOK I® COUNCIL Cnrrexyxn, Wy. T., Sept. 21, 1876. General Crook arrived at Fort Laramio this evening and is now in council with Genoral Sheridan, who bag ‘been awaiting him at that point since Saturday last, "THE MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE. IDENTIFICATION OF THE BODY AS THAT OF FEANK B, SMITH, PRIVATE SECRETARY TO ME. ROBESON, Newport, R. 1, Sept. 21, 1876 The mysterious suicide on the steamer Newport has at last been identified by a young man arriving on tho Fall River boat this morning for that purpose. Ho recognized the body as that of Frank B. Smitn, pri- vate secretary of the Secretary of the Navy, instead of as “Frank Wheeler,’? the namo given by the deceasod before his death. He called upon Coroner White and soon alter his arrival identified the body, which had been placed in the recerving tomb, and the varions articles belonging to him, He stated that Bmith assumed the namo of Wheeler a few woeks bo- fore his death, a companion of his bearing that name, and tho request to publish the card which was found in the mirror in tho New Yor« Heratp was for the purpose of notifying his triends of his death in as qaiet & manner as possible. FOREWARNING TIS FRIENDS. Just after his departure from New York, being evi- dently determ:ned to commit suicide, he forwarded a note to that effect to his friend, and in fact he told him that he should commit tho deed that very mght. In the noto bo gave instractions about paying his Just debts, and oxpressed a wish that the Fall River ‘authorities might inter his body before those outsiae of his friends knew his real name, UNREQUITED LOVE. A few weeks ago he jost his sister, which, togetner with the refusal of a young indy in New York to re- ciprocate his affection, led his friends to suppose that be would do something rash. bd Lost week ho was handed a number of official de- apatches by Secretary Robeson, with which he was ordered to proceed to China. After completing ar- rangewents for his journey tie proceeded to New York, which city ho reached on Saturday Inst. He stopped at the Hofiman House, where he remained unti! Mon- day noon, when he stepped on board the steamer Newport ad applied for passage to Fall River, as al- ready reported in the H&RALD. Ho bas a married sisier, who resides on Staten Island. His father and mother are both dead. If secrecy had been possible as to nis identity the inten- tion was to Jet the body remain at Fall River till the affair had biown over, when it would be taken to New York for interment; but as the pablic have got the facts it is possible that the body will be forwarded at once. ‘Secretary Robeson was in Now York a few days ago, and when he heard of the saa affair he concluded at once ¢lat the Victim was his secretary, WANTED PAY AND FOOD. DEMOXSTRATION BY RAILROAD LABORERS—UK- PAID AND HUNGRY. Kruse, N. H., Sept. 21, 1876. About 350 men, Iaborers on the Manchester and Keene Raiiroad, marched into this city about ono o’clock this afternoon, armed with sticks aud clubs, and created a general alarm. The Court House bell was rung and Central squaro was speedily filled with citizons. The men belong to Commer’s gang and are princiwally Italians, ‘The mon from other gangs have joined them. They claim that they were promised ‘their pay on the 2oth of August, but have been pat off from day to day, They also state that their boarding house keepers can no jonger obtain crodit and are out of provisions and that they have nothing to eat. They say they only want THEIR PAY AND SOMETHING TO RAT. The cause of all the trouble on the road seems to have been that the original contractors, Meesrs. Tap- pan & Richardson, of B ston, who agreed to furnish funds to build the road until such time as the directors could draw their quotas irom the fowns which bad voted them, bave proved to be unable to falfill their agreement, ‘and do not supply the need(ul money to the sub-contractors, and consequently the men are not paid. WILD RUMORS have prevailed of threats by the men to have their pay or-durn the city, Both the police force and military are amply suificient to preserve the peace, and the men themselves seem disposed to be quiet and vrderly. Some arrangements will probably be made for tempo- rarily furnishing them with food, and the directors will probably terminate their contract with the prosent parties on the arrival of the engineer, who is expocted ana BABCOCK’S TRIAL.

A PROPOSITION TO HAVE SOME FUN Arrangements for Stealing the Booka and Placing Them in Alexander’s House. NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE BURGLARS. Wasnrnarox, Sept. 21, 1876. The Babcock trial was full ot interest to-day, and the regular ordor of detectives’ stores was carried out tm the statement of Nettleship, tho ex-Assistant Chiof of Scoret Service, who detatiea the manner of his em- ploying the burglars to carry out the safe blowing con- spiracy for Harrington and his con/réres, THE TESTIMONY. On the Court being convened Colonel Whitley was called for cross-examination, which was conducted by Mr. Fullerton. In giving a narrative of bis proceedings he said that he again came to Washington on the 27th of April, the safe having been blown on the 23d; he saw Harrington and Babcock; in am conversation with General Babcock the latter said something about Har- rington’s bad management, and remarked, “I thoaght you were too smart to be connected with it,” or something of the same import; the witness conveyed the idea to Babcock that Harrington and witness were engaged in it, and Babcock then made the remark; the witness said ho did not think that Babcock made any remark, one way or the other, a8 to his baving any knowledge of the matter; the witness went to see General Babcock next at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, of New York; the conversation took place on the stairs in the month of May; the witness went to seo him in regard to the investigation of the Secret Service, and told bim that his administration had been honest; Babcock said to him, “Stand by your gons and [il protect your rear;’’ the witness did not sup- that General Babcock was ontirely ignorant of his iN hitley’s) connection with the safe burglary, ‘or jabcock had sent him to Harrington. Judge Fullerion—Give any reason you have for sup- posing that General Babeock knew ot the satfo burglary. Witness replied that he never talked of the affair, and told Babcock that Bluford Wilson was bis enemy, and General Babcock replied, ‘I think pot,’ Witness was questioned at length as to his testimony betore the Congressional commitice investigating the affairs of the District of Columbia, and was asked, “Did you nat intend to convey the impression by your an- Bwers.that you knew nothing of the burglary ?”’ SBitnese replied that they did not ask the proper question, and suid to Mr. Fullerton, “If you had cross- examined me they would have got all”? Judge Fallerton—Then 1 would have had better lack than I have had to-day. (Laughter). TRSTIMONY O¥ MR, BANFIELD, E. C. Bantield, formerly Solicitor of tho Treasury Department, was then sworu. He corroborated the statements of Whitley in reference to his interviews ith Babcock in Washington. KVIDENCE OF NRTTLRSHIP, Ichabod C. Nettlesbip was then called, ana before being sworn tho District Attorney obtained permission from the Court to enter a nolle prosequi in regard to him. Nettleship being one of the parties indicted for con- nection with the conspiracy, his preeence created quite 8 flutter, 1t being the first timo he has given any ovi- dence in public in regard to tbe burglary, the prosecu- tion having been unable, although he was indicted, 10 bring him here daring tho jormer trial. Tho court Toom was densely crowded, and his evidence was given in a rapid and jolly manner, and it created quite a sen- sation. Betore commencing the District Attorney said there ‘was no pledge or promiso made him, but that be en- tered the nolle prosequi in siinp!e justice to Nettie- ship. i Nettleshtp testified that he resided at Newark, N. J., and bad tor several years held the position ot Asvistant Chief of the Secret Service, under Colonel H. C. Whit. ley, and took charge of matters curing the latter's ab- gence; he said that in March of 1874 ho received in- structions from Whitley to come to Washington and bring a couple of men with him to doa pitce of work; Whitley told him that the folks at Washivgton wero being investigated by Congress and tbat they were pressed very hard; that the me- morialisis were getting up imony to injuro them; ho said our duty would be to connect with the moemorialisis and ascertain what they were doing so asto be able to counteract their efforts and post our fol was unything wrong being done. Wit- net nt for a man named J, N. Overworth and another named Gus Ziruth, two fellows who were will- ing to do such a Job, and ongaged thei to goto Washington, giving them the same orders that he re- ceived from’ Whitley; witness accompanied them part of the way, telling them they should get in with White, correspondent of the New York Tribune; Captain Adams, a newspaper writer, and A. Gibson, correspondent of the Now York Sun; also with Mr. bus Alexander, who was tho head of the memori- aliats, who had asked Congress to investigate the affairs of the District and try and find out everything they could, especially where the newspaper men got tho information they published, and the report daily to George Gideon, who was Babcock’s assistant; som: days aftorward, probably tho 27th or 28th of March, Whitloy told witness that he had better =go down to Washington and see bow things were working, which witness did; upon arriving in Washidgton witness learned that one of his men (Overworth) had been arrested for selling cigars without a license, or out of boxes without stamps; Whitley also came to Washington with him, and they both called upon Harrington at his house, whore witness spoke of Overworth’s arrest; Harring- ton said the men should Lereafter report to him, so that he would know them. Witness secured a release for Overworth and ordered him back to Now Yors; after taking dinner with Whitley and Bantield he returned to New York, as did Whitley; about the 1st of Apri: Whitley complained that the men in Washington did nothing; he had tn the meantimo sent a taan named Parker here in Over worth’s place, and said be had a good plan, and one that, if worked properly, wouid suit ‘THR PROPOSED BURGLARY. He then spoke of the investigation at Washington, and said that the books of John 0. Evans, stgict contractor, had been called for and brought before the commitieo; but that the memorialists thought the books were not genuine; he said if these same books could be stolen and given to the memorialists, and have it arranged that the orialists would produce them as the genuine books, and then expose the memo- Tialists afterward, after they found they had been fooled, that they would be blown out of the water and the memorialists would be ridiculed so that there would be no more investigations heard of.
