NEWS BY TELEGRAPH,

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

THE STEAMERS ‘‘ STONINGTON” AND ‘* NAR-

ss i « " iil e ° PAGANSETT COLLIDE ON THE SOUND,.—THE | driven back to jail.

LATTER TAKES FIRE AND SINKS.—-ONE HUN- DRED LIVES LOST,—-TWO ST. JOHN LADIES SAVED.

Sronrneron, Conn., June 12.

Steamer ‘‘Stenington” arrived at 6.30 this morning with about 50 survivors frem the ‘‘ Narragansett.” The bow of the for- mer was stove in three feet aft of the stem, nearly to the water line. She struck the ** Narragansett” at 11.30 on the starboard side forward of wheei-house. The shock burst the gas tank, and in fifteen minutes

the ‘‘ Narragansett’ was on fire. She sunk in four fathoms of water. Steamers ‘‘ New Yerk” and ‘ Previ-

dence” came to her assistance and all the boats and life rafts of the four steamers lowered and put in service.

It was two hours before the last passen- ger was picked up. Most of the passen- gers were transferred to the ‘‘ City ef New York.”

The passengers say the officers and crew of the *‘ Narragansett” behaved with great coolness and nerve.

On the arrival of the ‘‘ Stonington,” the village was aroused, and the men and women hastened with clothing and assist- ance.

Twenty-five women on board were in their night clothes, one of whom died be- fore reaching here from the shock. The body has not been identitied. One man also died—Rev. R. B. Lockwood, of Sixty- eighth Street Methodist Church, New York.

Most of the Eastern bound passengers left on a special train. Everything was done for their comfort.

No estimate can be made here of the loss of life. [tis believed to be less than first supposed,

A Providence despatch from the clerk of the steamer ‘‘ Narrgansett” estimates the loss of life at thirty. Other persons esti- mate the loss of life from fifty te ene han- dred.

FOURTH DESPATCH. New York, June 12.

The Graphic says about 100 lives are re- ported lost altogether.

The ‘‘City of Boston,” of the Norwich Line, took a portion of the surviving pas- sengers of the ‘‘Narragansett” abeard on her trip and the ‘‘City of New York,” of the same line, came dewn with about 100 additional ones. She arrived at Pier 40, North River, at 10.30 o'clock, her decks and cabins filled with men, and women, and children, partly en dishabille, who were aboard the ill-fated steamer. Many were wrapped in their under-garments, over which they had thrown the stete-room blankets.

The interior of the steamer had the ap- pearance of a hospital.

The dock where it arrived was thronged with people, all of whom were anxious looks and made eager inquiries fet relatives and friends. They shouted for information before the steamer touched the pier, and crowded hither and thither for a glance at the decks. Several police efticers were re- quired to maintain order. When the steamer was finally moored arush was made for the gang plank, and many, whe it was feared had gone down, rejoined their friends ainid rejoicings.

G. O. Sanborn, Boston, a passenger, said: ‘* About 11 o’clock last night I was knocked out of my berth by some terrible force. Without stopping to dress | secured a life preserver, and with others jumped into the sea. After floating around for some time, was picked up about fifteen minutes after the collision. The beat was a sheet of flame, and burned to the waters edge. Before leaving the boat I saw one man shoot himself in despair, and also heard the report of another pistel. There were, I believe, 330 passengers on beard, and with the oflicers and crew, over 400 souls, and I think I am estimating it low when I say that 100 lives were lost. One great mistake was made, I think, by the officers in not letting the people know the true condition of affairs, as many women were induced by them to return to their staterooms, thereby losing time and very likely their lives.”

Among the list of saved from the steamer ** Narragansett ” were Miss G. B. Deane, and Mrs. Wm. Purdy, of St. John, N. B.

INSPECTING THE WRECK. New Lonpon, Cr., June 13.

During last night the steamer ‘ Relief,” of the Coast Wrecking Company arrived at the scene of the disaster. The wrecking schooner ‘‘ Report ” still lays alongside.

The master of the latter inspected the wreck in diving armor this morning.

The opinion of seafaring men is that the officers of the ‘‘ Stoningten” cannot be blaimed for the accident. The courses of the colliding steamers lay together, but had the ‘‘Stonington”’ sounded two successive whistles instead of one in reply te the signals of the ‘‘ Narragansett,’ the acci- dent would not, in all probability have oc- curred.

No other bodies have been recovered.

LATEST FROM THE WRECK. New Lonpon, June 15.

The tug has just arrived from the wreck. Capt. Scott, who has been down and ex- amined the wreck, thinks the steamer can be raised, as her bulwarks are in compara- tively good condition.

Capt. Scott found the body of a child

about a year old, but there was nothing about the body to identify it. MontreaL, June 12, The Court of Appeals this morning re-

| fused the application on behalf of Mr. Me- | Namee for bail. Mr. McNamee was then

Mr. Keller, Me- Namee’s counsel, renewed the application this afternoon, but the Court wonld not listen to him. As a last recourse Me- Namee’s counsel have approached Judge Belanger, and will have Mr. McNamee taken to Lachnte on Monday as a witness in the contested clection case. He was offered his liberty provided he made an apology to Mr. Monsseau, but his reply was in the negative. The levee still con- iinues, and numbers of ladies are visiting him.

CONDENSED DESPATCHES.

A Titusville despatch states the loss by fire to be £750,000, and that the Holly Water Works were destroyed.

The Naval Superintendent of the Russian Black Sea fleet is in St. Petersburg to re- ceive instructions. The circumstance is noticed in connection with the rumors that the French and English fleets are going to Besika Bay.

A telegram from Valona, Albania, reports that Lloyd’s Agency has been undermined and blown up. A director and an official were severely wounded. The building was partly destroyed. The originators of the outrage are unknown.

The late ministerial change at Pera is even more than nsually mysterious, and its significance is yet diflicult to guage. The prevalent impression at Pera is that this is the first step of general reform and that further changes may be expected in the ministry. The transformation of the Grand Vizier to Minister President is taken as a sign of an attempt to suit European ideas.

On account of O’Donnell’s notice of motion in the British Commons for inquiry into the antecedents of Challemell Lacour, a seini-ofticial communication has been pub- lished, saying that Lacour was never a member of the Government of National de- fence, and it has never been contemplated to send him to Berlin as an ambassador.

It is said that a private telegram has reached Londen announcing an arrange- ment between the epposing parties in Buenos Ayres probable.

The body of James Williams (colored) was found in the woods near Lawrenee, Indianapolis County, Indiana, with his head ernshed into shapeless mass. At his cabin his wife was found lying on the floor, unconscious, with her skull crushed, but still alive. Her recovery is doubtful. There is ne clue to the murderers.

A Wilmington, Del., despatch says Ex- Senator James A. Bayard died on Sunday morning.

The American Rifle Team arrived at Queenstown yesterday. The practice of the.Irish Team on Saturday was indiffer- ent, but the weather was stormy. Betting on the Americans is going up.

Ex-Governor Albert G, Brown, of Missis- sippi, Gevernor for two terms and who served the State as a member of Congress, was thrown from his horse into a pond near his house on Saturday evening and drowned.

_ Spelling Reform.

Our readers will be able to judge of the present pos:tion of the ‘‘ Spelling Reform ” movement in England by the following petition, which has been prepared by the Spelling Reform Association :-

To the Honorable the Commons of Great jritain and Ireland in Parliament assein. bled. The humble petition of all the per- sons present at a public meeting, held in the theatre of the Society of Arts, in John Street, Aldelphi, on Thursday, the 29th of January, 1880, sheweth: 1. That the ex- isting mode of spelling the words of the English language is altogether devoid of system, and entirely fails to attain the main object of written language, which is to ex- press sounds by means of convenient and consistent symbols. 2. That this anoma- lous and chaotic spelling, in addition to many other serious defects, is the cause of one evil of the greatest magnitude, namely, the incalculable waste of time that re- sults from endeavoring to enable children in schools to overcome its difticulties ; so that out of the few years which can be given to instruction by the bulk of the popu- lation an altogether disproportionate share is allotted to the mere machinery of know- ledge, instead of to knowledge itself. 3. That the natural tendency of written lan- guage to adapt itself to the spoken tongue is arrested and counteracted in England by the practice of Government Inspectors and other examining officers, by whom no credit is given (but, on the contrary, cen- sure) to any spelling but the ordinary one. Wherefore, your petitioners humbly pray your Honorable House 1. To declare your opinion to be in conformity with the present shewing. 2. To adopt legislative means for holding an inquiry into the desirability and practicability of a reformed system of Eng- lish spelling. 3. And above all, to pass an enactment wherby all Governinent Inspec- tors of schools and all examining officers shall be authorised and enjoined to accept and give credit to spelling based upon other systems than that now in ordinary use with a view to determining by experiment whether and to what extent the adoption of any such other system may be practicable and advisable. And your petitioners wi!l

ever pray, &c.
