Tho startling dispatches received
from u correspondent nt AHtoria whicli
appeared in tho Daily Hei:, fdating Unit
tho Great ltcpnblio had grounded on
Sand Island in tho south channel of tlto
Columbia and predicting that, if not
rescued that evening, would go to
pieces, has proven only too true, mid
another terrible) disaster involved thu
community in consternation and gloom.
It appear that on Saturday lust at 1:23
A. .M. the . vessel grounded i.ear tho
lower end of Sand Island wlitlo coming
in. Having passed through tho houtli
channel, and whilo on her course inside
of rough water, headed northwest, after
passing buoy No. 2, and corning to tho
end of tho course opposite tho foot of
Sand Island, sbo failed to mako tho ab
rupt turn necessary there, tho pilot be
ing unable in tho darkness to see tho
beacon by which the vessels are ordinar
ily guided. Copt. Carroll, the com
mander of tho vessel, Haiti to Pilot Doig,
who was directing her course nt tho
timo when tho turn should liavo been
made, "Wo aro at tho end of this
course." Doig responded, "no wo aro
not; alio wnnti one minuto more." That
minuto was fatal in loss than thiity
Kccondii her bown touched the Hands, and
as her engines wcro driving her ahead,
she ploughed deep into tho treuehcrouu
wheals. The darkness vas intciiMi and
tlin tide had been ebbing two hours.
After few ineffectual wtruggles to re
treat, tho vessel lay until morning. Sho
went on drawing dovontecn feet of wa
tm' and could bo approached by tugi at
low water near enough to gut out a line.
At 1 2 o'clock noon tho U. H. nteamer
Shubriek, Capt. Kurtz, arrived at Ah
tori.i from l'uitluml, mid immediately
hastened to tho scene of tho disaster.
On tho way down sho mot the tug (Jo
luinbin, having a lot of pa!ii,'ern of tho
Republic and Capt. I'lavol on board, and
Hpcahiug tho Shubriek tho Columbia re
quested that alio bring oil' as many pas
Ktngors an hIio could. Capt. Kurt, ap
proached as near tothoKtramlcdHlaiiner
as was considered Baft', lowered two Hfo

of thu Itepublio wuro also engaged
bringing oil passengers, some of whom
wcro brought tothoShubrick,Bomototho

to tho Kip Van Winkle, and others to
tho Kntata, etc. It was very dtflicult
to recoivo passcugora on board, in con
BCipicnco of tho heavy swell of tho sea ;
but they all worked nobly. Tho volun
teers were Win. McCabo of JJrown it

every seaman on board tho Shubriek
proved themselves truo uionof tho right

women and children woro on board
tho Croat ltepublic, of whom tho tug
and Btcamcru brought to Astoria fully
900. "
Thcro now remained on boaid about
350 passongera and all tho otliccrs and
crow. At 3:25 tho lost tug orrived at
Astoria bringing news that at 12 o'clock
tho lost boat left tlto nliip with 1st ollicer
Lcnnon, Mr. Davis, 2d ollicer, tho boat
swain, two sailors acd eight waiters,
ends, and tho ship began breaking.
At high tide, 1 1 o'clock, an effort was
mado to pull tho steamer oir with tho
tugs Urcnhani, Astoria and Columbia,
but failed of their purpose.
At 8 o'clock last evening Capt. Carroll
and Pilot, Doig arrived at Astoria on the
tug Canby. At tho saiuo timo tho Cali
fornia arrived from Portland.
Tho following list of persons known
to bo lost is furnished by tho pitrsci of

on tlin California : Hugh Lonnon, 1st

thirteen persona in nil, ten of whom,
Lennon, Davis tho boatswain and kovoii
nlliera wero drowned bv tho cansizins of
tho boat in tho surf. Thrco men clung
to tho Iwat and drifted ashore with it.
Savon horses reached tho island alive.
There wero 27 in all on board. Tho ship
was now going to pieces, and breaking
up very fast. Her mainmast fell during
tho night. Tho engines had broken
through tho bilgo and tho ship listed sea
ward, breakers wore washing completely
over her and bedding and furniture, etc.,
washing up with tho surf on tho beach.
At about 8 o'clock in tho morning, at
half tide, heavy swells from tho south
west commenced to corao in, and soon
lifted her stern, whicli still floated,
around to tho northwest, presenting a
broadsido to tho sea. Kich swell ca
reened her over and drove her higher on
tho sands. On the receding of each
swell tho weight of her iuimoiiso hull,
machinery and cargo, drove her deeper
into the sands. The Canby ran under
l... SMit. Imw of tho Renublic at 10:30,
and Capt. Grav of that tug iiuiiiimi of
Capt. Carroll whether ho needed aid.
Carroll answered, "Lay by till high tide
and send ths captain of the Urcnhani to
hip." This request was transmitted to
all the tugs in waiting, and obeyed.
At 9 o'clock a iouthwet gale set in,
rendering it impossible for tho tugs to
get lines aboard the stranded ve.v.td,
making furious thi Iwating waves, and
henling her doom. Tho breakers dash
ing over soon threw hr on her bwm
Statement of Copt. Carroll.
Capt. Carroll, of tho lost steamer has
made tho following statement : I gave
tho steamer over to Pilot Doig at tho
automatic buoy at 1 1 :30 Friday night.
It was clear starlight, not it ripplo on
the water, which was as iniootli on a
mill pond. We canio in over the bat
on a slow bell all tho way ; crossed tho
bar all right, reaching tho inaidu buoy
in safety. Tim first and third officers,
freight cleil: and myself wero on look
out. I had a pair of glasses and was
tho first to discover Sand Inland, mid
found bearings nil light. I reported
Sand Island to the pilot. Ho had not
seen if. Wo run along probably two
minutes mid then I told thu pilot that 1
thought wo wero getting too closo to tho
island, mid that ho had better haul her
up. llo replied "I think wo aro not in
far enough." A minuto after I told
him to "port your helm and put it hard
opoit, as I think you aro getting too
near tho island." llo mado no reply
but run along about five minutes. Then
ho put tho helm hard npoit. Tho vessel
swung up, heading toward Astoria, but
tho obb tido caught her on tho r.tar
board bow and, being so much nearer
tho island than he expected, set her on
tho unit, She went on mi lightly that
only a fow know it ; but as tho tido was
falling wo had no cnanco to git mo ves
sel oil' that night. Next tide on Satur
day morning was u Hinall ono and wo
wero btill unablo to get oil". Tho barom
eter was going down, indicating u nlorni.
.1 sent Mr. Peck, tho ii'ii-jer, in a small
boat to tho Canby for iit-sislanco and
boats to rcmovo the paseuger.i. Tho
tugs l.rciihnin and Canby arrived rind
sent small boats to tho stuamer immedi
ately for the transfer of p.uitciigoi-H,
whicli was done by menim of hniall
boats l'ho tug Columbia and tho Shu
briek hal by this timo arrived, each
taking a loud' of passongera. Tho llren
ham mado two trips. Tho entire crow
remained on board. 1 mado arrange
ments with Capt. Flavel to l.avo threu
tugs at tho steamer at high tide. In
tho meautimo I had tho crow emnloyoil
heaving coal overboard to lighten thu
steamer. At 8 o'clock last night a
southwest galo htartcd in, making a
heavy sea, which chopped to tho houth
east about inidnisht. At this timo tho
Kliip was lying easy, making no watet)
Hut a heavy sea prevented tho tugs from
rendering any assistance. Tho heavy
wind and soa drove her higher on tho
spit. Shortly after midnight tho hhip
began to work, breaking all tho bteani
pipes and disabling tho cnginrB. A few
passengers that remained by tlio shin
during tho night were landed nt 0 o'clock
this (Sunday) morning, and wero fol
lowed by tho ci ow. Tho idiip nt C
o'clock was breaking up, fo that it was
dangerous to remain longer aboard. 1 no
last boat left the ship at about 10:30,
mid in going ashore tho Peering oar
broke, tho boat, containing 11 men, cap
bized, mid all but three wero drowned.
About tho Minio timo a heavy sea
boarded tho ship and carried away tho
state rooms on tho i-tarboard side, gut
ted tho dining room, broko up tho floor
of tho social hall and carried away tho
piano. Afterward hoveral fccas boarded
hor forward and carried away tno
starboard forward, guard and officers'
room forward and steerage deck. Urn
saino seas carried a number of horses
overboard. I remained until 0 o'clock
this evening, when tho pilot and myself
lowered n life boat and canio ashore. He
fore leaving tho vessel 1 went into the
boys' room and found a waiter, worn out
and badly scared, and brought him with
us ashore. All valuables and tho ship's
papers are, I think, saved. I return to
tho island in tho morning and will en
deavor to savo all possible. I consider
tho causo of tho wreck an error 01 tno
pilot's judgment, and a miscalculation on
ids part as to tho distanco from tho
island. Tho ship is partially insured.
Captain Carroll is greatly fatigued, and
in giving tho above showed great sudor
ing from exposure. James McDovitt, n
sailor, Chief Engineer Hulton, tho crew,

Francisco on tho Alteon in tho morning.
had been no other boat around, then I
should have gone back to bco what tlip
troublo was. From tho position tho
ltepublic occupied I thought sho might
bo outside of tho bar when I lust saw
her, and her steam wan down which be
spoke trouble. There was nothing said
about her when I left Astoria. Sho
stranded about 200 yards west of Sand
Island."
Tho Captain was inclined to bo reti
cent and declined to give an opinion ay
to where tho blame rested.

Mr, Samuel Parsons makes thu following

rulo, also, never plant a largo, dark nvergrecn
in front of, and very near, a brilliant light
colored, deciduous tiec, for thus planted it
will dwarf and weaken thu latter. On some
lawns, however, a few massive dark evergreens
may be used with effect in tho extreme, and,
if jiossiblc, northwest corner of tho lot. They
will give character to tho place, and heighten
tho effect of tho deciduous tries, A very
striking contrast way bo obtained by inter
spersing a few whitu birches among, and in
front of, these evergreens, They will serve
in this cass to hriiditcn the picture both

Stallion Shows in Spring.
The awarding of a prize for "tlto best stall
ion" in any given class at a county fair held
in tho autumn docs good undoubtedly. It
furnishes horse breeders with an opportunity
of seeing good liorset, If tho prizo is for tho
stallion and a showing of his colts, it gives nn
opportunity for aecing thoso whicli have
proved their excellence as sires. Hut thcro is
no certainty that any direct future good will
como from such a pri?c, beyond its atimulat
ing elTeet. Often the winner is not owned In
the country, or, if ho be, hu ia often Fold or
removed for tlto next season.
Would not awarding prizes to the best
stallion to mako tho next season in the county
do much mora good! Our circumstances aro
so different, wo cannot well adopt tho plait
which has proved so successful in Scotland
of having representatives of various societies
annually como to a great national stallion
show and pay handsome premiums to secure
tho standing of their choico of stallions in
their district.', with a lived service fee, but
there is nothing to prevent a more general
holding of spring snows of stallions, thus
giving breeders an opportunity for comparison
and selection! and tho nlan of oflcriiiir prizes.
with condition of tlio season lieiiiu tnailo lit
tho county, would bo an advisable step. As
tho taking of tho would piso give soma reputa
tion and help in receiving a good patronage, it
might bo well to iucliidu in tho condition a
moderate sum as thu maximum fco for service.
