Mr. Lucke was a native of Hanover and came to this country when about twenty years of age. A year or two after his arrival he was employed first as clerk, then as exchange manager of the house, and in that capacity he became widely known in Wall and Broad streets and was most respected on the Stock Exchange. He subsequently was given an in- terest in the business. On the Ist of October last he severed his connection with the Belmont firm, en- joyed a few weeks of leisure and comfort at his fine residence in Hoboken, and finally decided to pay a visit to his aged mother in Germany.

Four of the boats werecruebed in during the collision. The other five were launched, but one was overcrowded and sunk.

Postmaster James reports that the mails on the lost steamship consisted of 25,100 letters and $44,316 grammes of printed matter. This is all supposed to be lost, except the English mail, which was landed at Plymouth. The lost matter consisted of 3,497 letters and 147,295 grammes of printed matter in the French mail; 8,489 letters and 327,720 grammes of printed matter in German and Austrian mail; 1,260 letters and 24,915 grammes of printed matter in the Denmark mail; ketters and 49,377 grammes of printed matter in mail for Sweden; 2,090 letters and 26,274 grammes of printed matter in the Norwegian mail. 7 ‘THE VERSKEL NOT INSURED. It is nnderstood that the vessel was insured fora small sum or not at all. Ina little book, published by the company and circulated at the Philadelphia Exporition, they call attention to the fact that their vessels are not insured at all as “a striking proof of the eficiency of their ships and crews and of tho soundness of the principles of management which, as the result of an experience of more than twenty years, are adhered to in all the branches of the service.” THE DISABLED BARK.

Schwensen, of the lost Pommerania, enjoys probably the widest reputation and the great- est measure of popularity of any of the captains of the German steamship lines. He had made across the ocean 125 round trips and safely landed his passen- gers, and he was on his 125th round trip when the coMision occurred in the English Channel, Captaip Schwensen is described as the very model of a brave and faithful officer, whose heroism and devo~ tion to duty were fully illnstrated by his condnet on Monday night. The Captain is a ian fifty-cight years of age. He was born in Schleswig, at Fleus- burg, on Angust 28, 1820, He started in seafaring life at the eariy age of fifteen, when he went upon his first voyage as the cabin boy of a sailing vessel to the West Indies. He continued this life for ten years, all the time prosecuting his studies in the science of navigation, At twenty-three he graduated from the School of Navigation at Tonning, and at twenty-six he passed bis final examination aud received his diploma at Hamburg. It was in July, 1844, that he entered the service of the Hamburg com- pany in the capacity of chief mate of the sailing v sel Deutschland, Captain J. Hanker. In 1852 he wae appointed captain of the packet ship Elbe, and in 184 of the Oder, In 1857 he assumed command of CARE New York, Werrzexnorrr Zupse, Farpreick, Chicago, IL. THE OFFICERS AND CREW.

The schooner, commanded by Captain Raymond, with a crew of two men and three passengers on board and a carga of provisions for the lower parishes, left Quebec and anchored off Crane Island. At midnight on Friday the anchor chain broke and the vessel drifted across the bows of a large schooner anchored at some dis- tance off, One passenger jumped on board the larger id saved his life.

Guérin, vicar of St. Valier, who gave the alarm, three men were seen clinging to the bottom of the schooner, the other two havi evi- dently met # watery grave Curing the storm, Three courageous imen, belonging to St. Vallier, named Joecph Garant, Telesphore Brochu and the servant man of the curé, lannched a small flat and went to the rescue of the men on the capsized vessel. After a great deal of difficulty they succeeded in res- cuing Register Raymond, father of the captain of the wrecked vessel, the other two men having been swept away by the waves before help could reach them, Praise is due to Rev. M. Guérin, who first gave the alarm, then volunteered to go in the flat to the rescue of the men on the wreck, and was only pre- vented by the representation ot the brave fellows in the boat, who said the flat wonld be too emall to con- vey them all, STRUGGLING WITH HE STORM.

ERMAN, DI- WASHINGTON, THE CHARGES AGAINST DR, LI RECTOR OF THE MINT. Aletter from Congressman Glover mentions that he will be in Washington next week, and that he will soon submit to the President and the Secretary of the ‘Treasury the report of the results of his examination into the charges against Dr. Linderman, the Director of the Mint. This investigation Mr. Glover was con- ducting during the latter part of the last session of Congress, THE EXPENDITURES OF THE DISTRICT OF CO- LUMBIA—ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMIS- SIONERS, . The Commissioners of the District of Columbia to- day submitted to the President the first annual report that has been made since Congress established a per- manent form of government for this District. The condition of the streets and sewers of the city pre- sents, they say, the most serious question they have had to consider, embracing outleys of an impera- tive character which the present revenue of the District is inadequate to meet, otherwise than by extending the work through several years, while health, convenience, progress and the mainte- nance of property yalues are dependent upon its being promptly done, Under ordinary cireum- stances the-treasury of the District, on the present basis of taxation, would be able to meet all reason- able demands for improvements, but the extent of rotten wood pavements and the evil of overflow from the sewers have created demands beyond the scope of current revenues: necessary to repay the advance suggested as a way out of this difficulty. In this connection the Commissioner’ show that in the matter of expenditures within the District of Columbia there is @ heayy balence in favor of the people of the District as compared with the general government. It is shown by offi- cial figures that, deducting the amount of the 3.65 honds and all other items of the bonded debt, there has been a paid up expenditure by the people of the District of Columbia of taxes, &ec., collected since the foundation of the Capital City, of $43,462,720, as against a total of $29,311,950 expended by the United States fot local government purposes and for objects in which the citizens of the District had joint interests with the United States.

Counsel for the prosecution in the case said the testimony of these witnesses was not desired until the cross-examination of G. Wiley Wells was concluded, Mr. Springer an- nounced that he had received a deposition from Dr. Bethune McCartee and he desired to know the pleasure of the committee in regard to sub- mnitting it for examination. Mr. Coleman, of counsel for the prosecution, suggested as the deposi- tion was taken for the purpose of corroborating Mr. Wells’ cross-examination that it be held until that point of the testimony was concluded. After considerable discussion between counsel it was agreed to defer opening the package containing the document for the present, and as counsel for the defence were anxious that all testimony on the other side should be closed before opening their side of the case the committee adjourned until Saturday next, when it is expected Mr. G. Wiley Wells will be pres- ent and his cross-examination procedded with, THE WHEELER SURVEY.

This related to the treasures foundat Curium, Lust night's lecture being on the art of Cyprus alone, and not treating of the history of the island, gave a clear idea of the former in a compact form, and was listened to with interest, ‘The intlu- ence of Assyria, Egypt, and later of Greece, on the art of Cyprus, was rapidly sketched, and finally a few words were said on the decoration of the pottery, the use of the smaller vessels for perfumery and on the gold and silver work.

A NEW YORK LADY THE VICTIM OF VENTURER. {From the Dublin Freeman’s Journal, Nov, 15.) Among the passengers on board the White Stat steamer which sailed from Queenstown on last Wed- nesday was a lady who had some time previously left her father's house in New York in company with an adventurer, who, after having brought. her ta Europe and travelled with her through different Continental cities, heartlessly deserted her at Preston, in England, taking with him her valuables, including a costly diamond ring. It appears that some time last year a gentleman calling himself a stockbroker, from London, and at that time in New York, obtained an entrée to the society of a wealthy gentleman in New York, Ju February last it was found that this person had eloped with the danghter of the gentleman, an in- teresting young lady of nineteen years. The pair took steamer to Enrope, though a note was left be- hind that they were travelling in the States. The father, a Scotchman, bel ing to Glasgow, had relatives living in that city, and thinking his daugh- ter might communicate with them ho telegraphed to a Glusgow detective. ‘The telogram, however, arrived too lute, as the fugitives landed at Queenstown. Tho detective traced them to London, Paris and other places, and subsequently to various English water- ing places, but then lost sight of them. A short time ago the lady communicated with her father from Edinburgh. This information was torwarded to the detective, who set a watch on the post office and found the young lady. She states that her male companion left her at Preston, while travelling from London to Edinburgh, having taken the valise which contained the money, between $2,000 and $3,000, and jewels, among the latter being o diamond ring worth £130, She has been in lodgings AN ADe in Leith for the past two mouths and entirely without fonds. Jt has been ascertained that the “stock broker” is an adventurer and a swindler, SLAUGHTER OF ADIRONDACK DEER, [From the Utica Herald, Nov. 6.) Few people are aware to what extent deer are slaughtered in the Adiroudack wilderness during the fall mouths by the use of dogs, and in complete dofie ance of the game laws, which strictly prohibit the pursuit of deer with dogs at any time, When the sportsmen and tourists generally have left the woods at the end of the season, the guides, many of the hotel keepers and banters from all around the borders of the wildnerness who can muster ® hound, resort to the woods, until almost every Jake, pond and stream in ‘the Adfrondacks haa its hunters, each with @ pack of hounds, varying from two to fifteen dogs. Of all modes of hunting this is the most destructive in a region abounding in small Jakes, like the great wilderness of Northern New York. A deer always takes to the water when closely pursued by dogs, ond as almost every lake and river has its watchers scarcely a deer escapes. It ix @ very moderate estimate to aay that thonsands of deer have bi killed alteady this fall «i wtill the slanghter gos of. T have known some partigs to Kil from six to ten deer aday, There are over six lium akes in the Adirondack wilderness, and wt leant two-thirds of them are cones by hunters. Allow: ing one decr killed at each lake every day, which it bata small estimate, 400 deer Deon Killed daily ny at J during tho fall mongha of this year,
