. lccert Cause of the Terrible j*_t*ldent.
London, Ont., May 24.
This evening at six o'clock the steamer Victoria, with over 600 excursionists on board,
was returning from Spring Bank, and when
near the Cove Hail way bridge, one mile below
this city, the boat suddenly collapsed like an
egg- shell and became a total wreck, level with'
the water's edge,. All the passengers were instantly plunged into [ the" stream, inpre than
half of them being underneath the debris.
The first news which reached the city wa3
brought by survivors, who struggled.through
the streets wet and weary.
The news lell like a thunderbolt, and a
stampede took place for the spot. Arriving
there a terrible sight met the view. Fifty or
sixty bodies had already been recovered and
were lying on the green sward some distance
up the bank.
Those arriving from the city from every direction crowded around, anxious to see if any
relatives Were oh board. Several hundred
families were represented on the excursion,
and the wail at the sight of the victims was
heartrendiug. Fathers, mothers, brothers and
sisters rushed about panic-stricken, endeavor-
intr to identify relatives.
By seven o'clock about eighty bodies were
recovered from under the Wreck, where the
water was twelve feet in depth. Almost every minute some victim was "brought to the
surface and conveyed to the boat.
The steamer Princess Louise wa3 early
brought to the spot and the victims placed on
the upper decks. Fire3 were lit on the^bank
overlooking the river, and petroleum torches
were brought andthe search continued.   :
All is in-the deepest confusion. The newspaper staffs^ like ail else, are sadly demOrali
izedi all having friends involved in the calamity. The Whole city seems almost demented'
to-night. "" ,, 7
The accident was entirely due to gross eare^
lessness. The boat was overcrowded to a disgraceful extent. The manager, George Parish,
was expostulated with by several at Spring
Bank, and-urged not to let the boat go out in
that overcrowded condition, but he is repbr-ted
to have replied, "All right,! know myibusi-
ness." or Something of that sort.
Mr. Samuel Stewart, a stove merchant, one
of those who: protested, left the boat at Spring
Bank witb his family. Several hundred more
remained fhere, unable to get passage,, and
hadto walk home, a distance Of four miles,
to-night, no  conveyance of any kind beingr
available, ■
*—•—
LATER.
London, Ont., May 25.
dp to the present time (10:30 p. m.) 23S bodies
have been recovered.   It is believed there are
several yet beneath the wreck. •
HOW THE ACCIDENT  OCCURRED.
About four o'clock in the afternoon the Victoria, of the Thames Navigation Company's
line, started from the dock on her fourth and
her last trip for the day, with a large load of
passengers of all ages, variously estimated at
from 400 to COO. All went well on the down
trip, though the boat was so heavily laden that
she shipped water in small quantities occasionally, when a crowd would happen to surge
to any particular side.
On the return trip, when more than halfway home, a sliarht commotion on the boat,
said by some to have been the playful pranks
of a number of youths On the lower deck,
and by others ascribed to the boat striking
on a snag, caused the crowd, out of curiosity,
»to rush to the side, and, as the side of the boat
sank with additional weight, a volume of
water a foot or two in depth poured in upon
the lower deck, which was crowded with passengers. Instantly the crowd on both decks
rushed to the opposite side, and their weight,
together with that of the water shipped by the
boat, caused it to lurch in the opposite direction.. Then it Ayas that the disaster occurred.
The side Of the boat sank in the water to the
depth of one or two feet, and while tho crowd
of peopleon thelower deck were struggling to
save themselve3..from'slipping.down into the
river, the stanchions supporting the upper
deck suddenly gave way, and the whole
structure, with its load of human "beings, came
down on those who were below, crushing ttoem
on the deck and rendering escape out of the
question.      7      =  .    "
It is impossible to describe the scene that
followed. The boat continued to settle on its
side deeper into the water, taking with it
many of the passengers who were stunned by
the fall of the upper deck, and were unable
to help themselves. Scores sank in the water
without an elfort, while many others, who
were precipitated into the river unhurt, rent
the air witb their vain appeals for that succor
which those passengers who were, safe Were,
powerless toextend. ' ,-
The utmost exertions were put forth to res.
cue as many of the drowning ones as possible,
and many were'Saved If o"m a watery grave.
As soon as possible help was secured and the
work of recovering the bodies from the river
and from the wreck proceeded with. The bodies were placed on the steamboat Louise as
fast as they were Drought up, and then taken
to the company's docks, where the task of identification began.
The accident occurrect at about 6:15, and it
was midnight before the bodies so far recovered were brought back to the city. Here a
most heart-rending scene ensued. The bodies,
as fast as transferred from the steamers, were
laid out in rows on tho grass by the river sidei
all in their holiday attire, and, with the aid of
torches, the faces were eagerly scanned by
hundreds of anxious friends looking for their;
missing onesy-r '"-'-      -   .  -
A goodly proportion of the drowned are men
In middle life, and many are children ot tender years. Many were the Avails of sorrow
Which followed the identification of relatives.
Perhaps it .is the motner who discovers her
child, or children a parent. One fnan was,
heard inquiring for four children. As fast as
corpses were claimed they were taken in
charge by their friends, and removed to their
homes.
._» ^ "INCIDENTS.       ^   _   '«" ■"•
A smalllad, in his fail into the Vater, ■struck
on the back of Mr.'William AshDjir&i(whOse
Wife was drowned). Mr. Ashburg felfc the object on his shoulders weigh heavily, and, not
knowing what in was, shook to free himself
from his "man of the sea." All to no purpose,
however. Tho little chap hung on3 with the
desperation of despair, and Mr. Ashburg was
able-to reach the shore more dead than alive.
NO more desperate struggle for life ever
took place than that in which Nicholas Wilson
engaged immediately after the disaster. Apprehending the danger, he told his newly-
married wife to cling to the railing, and a moment later he found himself floundering in the
water. Strange to say, Mrs. Wilson was
thrown directly into his arms, and, sei/.ing her
firmly, he struck out for shore. On the way
a strong, big man, Overcome with, fear, seized
him by the throat, and hung there for
dear life. The whole thi.ee must inevitably have sunk but for Mr. Wilson's
presence of mind. He seized the fellow with
his teeth, nnd.bit him with all hiS force. The
hold was then relaxed, and with weakened
strength, and still boaring his wife in his arms,
MS struggled toward the shore.'3Biit a 1'e^v;
feet had bcoivpassed, however, before he was
again seized with a vise-like grip by a drowning man, and In the struggle ho lost his wife.
He reached the shore exhausted, find looked
about to see his wile saved, in some unaccountable way, by his side.   They both  then
became unconscious.

* A Day of Funerals*    ■
London, Ont., May 28.
This has been a day of funerals. Over one
hundred and fifty have been buried already,
the. process of interment being kept up till
after dark. The cemetery authorities and the
clergy have been busy all day. Every available vehicle in the city was in use. and the hack-
drivers and livery-keepers put the figures up
to a most extortionate rate. All Of the city
hack-drivers will be 'fined for exceeding* the
charges laid down in the city ordinances; but,
as the fine is limited, they can pay it a hundred times over and^styLbe,4argely ahead on
the day's trade, instances are known,
where ten dollars was charged for two
hours' use of a common dray, that
can be hired ordinarily for twenty-five
cents an hour. Assorts of vehicles were used
as neavses, and a never-ending procession of
funerals was kept up. They met and mingled
at every street corner, and it was impossible
after they-got started to tell where one party
ended and the other began, save, by the presence of a coffin in some of~the conveyances.
Milk carts, grocery delivery wagons, democrat wagons, lumber wagons—in Short, everything on wheels was pressed into service^ At
one street corner seven funerals merged
and proceeded in one procession: One
of the most melancholy; sights was a
procession of six veaicles. The first
one contained a oouin, the second two
coffins, the third three coffins, and the
other three vohicles the f riend3 of the family,
or, at least, such of the friends as were not attending funerals in other quarters of th3 city.
As the melancholy processions passed, people
lined the sidewalks and sobs were audible in
many streets. Strong* men"^turned aside to
conceal their emotion, and many wept outright. Prayers were heard all along the line.
Business was entirely suspended, and the*
saloons closed their doors and refused to do
business in the face of the solemn ceremonies
of the day. People from the surrounding
district flocked in by train and conveyance to express their sympathy with the
bereaved city and take part in the funerals.
Several who lived at a. distance and had
friends in the vicinity of the city, as soon as
the news was received, came to see if theirs
were among the lost. Fromearly in the morning the roads leading to the city were crowded
with vehicles driving in to hear the news of
the disaster. *Wherever any One could be
found who bad been on the; Victoria there was
a crowd gathered around to hear the details
of the accident. There were T)ut few Who had
not lost some relative or friend, and about
whom some fond remembrances were told
of "the last time I saw poor Tom,"
or how such mother and father had lost
children, or how such children were left
orphans and thrown on the charity of
the world. Cases were mentioned where
whole families had been blotted out, and the
houses remained locked up and the keys in
the dead men's pockets until they were
recognized at the dead-house. There was
nothing- but wailing and lamentations aud
unutterable woe. The Odd-Fellows, Masons
and other societies turned out and paid the
last mark of respect to such as were members of their orders. Owing to the scarcity
of children's coffins, in many instances it
was found necessary to bury a small child in
an adult's coffin. A car-load of coffins arrived per Great Western Hallway on yesterday, but they were not equal to the demand.
Miss Fannie Cooper and Mr. William Glass
died in each other's arms. They were to have
been married in two weeks, and the trosseau
had been prepared. They were buried together, she wearing the dress in which she
was to have been married.
A number of persons in the city have become insane, and it is feared that the lunatic
asylum in this city will have to be "utilized to
confine some. Most of them, however, can be
cared for by their friends. They have fallen
into asfale of melancholy, a much more incurable foim of insanity than the acute mania
which grief generally prOduees.
All the bodies have now been identified.

An Aged and Gigantic Tree.
For the last 3,000 years, it is said,
there has stood in the immediate neighborhood of Sparta a gigantic cypress,
the very same tree which of old found
mention in the pages of Pausanias and
other antique Greelc historians.- It
reared its stately head to a height of
160 feet above the ground, <and its dark
foliage overshadowed a space nearly
300 feet in circumference. It was a
source of profit, as well as of pride, to
all the inhabitants of Sparta, for its
world-wide fame annually attracted
hundreds of curious tourists from all
parts of Europe, whose temporary sojourn ia its vicinity brought no small
amount of grist to the Spartan mill.
Ouly the other day this venerable sylvan
patriarch was ignited by a band of gypsies while cooking their midday meal
under the shade of its leafy branches,
and burned to the ground, despite strenuous efforts made to save it from anni-;
hilation. It Avould appear that grievous
accident is regarded by the Greek populace as of evil omen to the enterprise
in which the Hellenic nation is just now
embarked.
True Happiness.
"What I was gwine to remark," said
Brother Gardner, of the Limekila Club,
"am to de effeck dat deHon. Abe Loss-
ford, of Howell, Mich., has arove ia de
city at my request to deliber his celebrated lectur' on 'True Happiness1 befo
dis club. He am now in de aunty-room,
an' Sir Isaac Walpole an' Rev. Penstock
will doa de proper regalia an' fotch him
in."
In the course of the next five minutes
the Hon. Mr. Lossford was "fotched."
He had on a new suit, walked like Napoleon, looked like Plato and took the
platform with all the ease of Nero.
"Gem'len," he hegan, as he looked
down upon the "bald head of Elder
Toots," "how many of you know what
real happiness ar' ? Dat is, how many
of you d.oah" knownufiin'bout it? Confucius -thought he was happy, but he
wasn't. He didn't know nufiin'bout
watermellyons, or persimmons, or green
corn. Caesar'thought he was happy,
but he didu't know nuffia bout popcorn,
or hickory-auts, or sweet cider; Plato
said he had auffia to regret, au' yet he
neber went in swimmin', or was on
skates, or tended a Sunday Skule
basket picnic.

The Lost Dollars.
The following item, which may be of
interest to coin collectors, is from a recent work called " The Gold and Silver
Coias of all Natioas," by Ivaa C. Mich-
els, Ph. D. M. A.:
" The dollar of 1804 has become ex-
ceediagly scarce, andthe last sale of a
fine sriecimen was made at one thousand
dollars. Of this dollar, according to the
returns of the Uaited States Mint records, 19,570 pieces were struck, and
with the exception of a few, were all exported to Africa to pay the sailors ;and
soldiers engaged in the war against Tripoli.
"On the 10th of June, 1801, the Bar
shaw of Tripoli declared war against
the United States, but no further notice
was taken of the declaration antil 1803,
when Commodore Preble was sent to
Tripoli with a large squadron. On the
31st of October, 1803, Captaia Bain-
bridge was sent into the harbor of Tripoli to recoaaoitre. His. vessel, the
Philadelphia, of forty-four guns, advanced too far in eager pursuit of a
small Tripolitan gunboat and struck on
a rock. The officers were treated as
prisoners of war, but the crew were
made slaves.
"In 1804, Lieutenant StepheaDecatur
was ordered to recf^iture the Philadelphia, which he promptly accomplished.
As it was impossible to take her out,
she was set on fire and abandoned.
Soon after Tripoli was bombarded several times by the United States ships of
war.
"Ia 1804, aa expedition was started
from the United States against Tripoli,
headed by Captain Eaton and Hamat
Carmanly," exile and elder brother of the
Bashaw of Tripoli. Their march lay
across a thousand miles of desert, yet it
was accomplished, with indescribable
fatigue and suffering, in fifty days. To
pay the expenses of this little army of
mounted Arabs and seventy American
seamea, these 1804 dollars were shipped
to the coast bf Africa, and only very
few of them, if aay, were brought back
by the returned victors:
"A few years ago, ten pieces of 1804
dollars were struck from the old original dies at the United States Mint in
Philadelphia, and distributed. All but
two or three were afterwards called in
by order of our Goverameat, and to this
day the coia-cabiaet of the Philadelphia
Miat exhibits one 1801 dollar, struck in
1804 and another with the same cj;ate,
but of a later issue." ]
