Astoria .Shippers Losses.
The Republic had on board about
three hundred tons of merchandise,, tin,
etc., for Astoria business men, but in
consequence of the condition of the
officers, who were worn out and needed
rest, and time to write letters to go be
low by the Ancon, we did not press the
inquiry as to whom or in what amounts
the list-extended. Nearly all the mer
chants of this city were interested in the
cargo. It was reported that Messrs.
Cohen & Cooper of the ixl had their
entire stock, for the opening of their
store, on board, but Mr. Cooper in
forms us that this was an error. They
will not probably lose mote than S1.000.
Most of their stock arrived by the An
con. As soon as we can do so we will
furnish the list complete.

Capt. Carroll's Statement.

statement which we publi.sh this morn

oldest living steamship commander on

evident signs of great fatigue, but he
returned to the scene of disaster yester
day, and is doing all that can be done to
save what it is possible to save.
Life Savin? Stations.
Where there is no water, no ships to
go down in the sea, there is certainly no
need for any life saving stations such as
we have at Fort Canby. and where
there is not a crew to man the station
it is perhaps as useless to have the
station, near the sea. e do not pro
pose to get off any growls at anybody,
out having read so miny high-so'unded
praises of the efficiency o"f the life sav
ing station in expensiwly printed re
ports of subordinates to the heads of de
partment at Washington .we had come
to the conclusion that a life .saving sta
tion was a big thing. It may be, to look
at; but the station at Fort Canby is use
less, and might as well be abolished at
once, uniesn it can be brought to a great
er state of perfection than it is now.
Being little better than a farce.
Providing for the Needy.
The loss of the steamship Great Re
public suddenly placed in Astoria a
very large number of people who were
unable to provide themselves with sleep
ing comforts, but the citizens of Astoria
never vet f.ii led to respond liberally m
cases of this kiiid,eonsequenly that whole
mass of shipwrecked men, 'women and
children were safely housed before one
o'clock in the morning. In company
with two citizens of the place we took a
walk through the city at three o'clock in
the morning, and besides those faithful
guardians of night, the police, not a
soul was to be seen on the streets: every 1
saloon in the city was closed, and order i
reigned supreme, to our great astonish-1

Ilyers sisters combination to Portland,
and returned the Barlow, Wilson, Prim-

They performed at Metropolitan '
hall last evening, and this evening will
be their last appearance in Astoria. We
cannot saj an thing that will add to the
reputation of this popular company.

Presence of 3Iind.
Nothins. in time of peril, serves so
; well as presence of mind: It often
averts panic, avoids danger, and save3
human life.
An incident occurred m
a couple of lady teachers enabled them
to clear the rooms of the school of
their crowds of youthful occupants,
during the prevalence of a fire, with
out a single accident. As conflagra
tion is liable to happen in the schools
of other cities while the classes are un
dergoing instruction, we copy so much
of the article, describing how the chil
dren were saved, as may prove instruc
tive to other teachers if they ever find
themsehes placed in like circum
stances. The Tribune says:
When the teacher discovered the
flames, she walked quietly out of the
room to the front desk, where Mrs. Mc
Clo.skev, the principal of the primary
deprtnient. was sitting, and informed
her of the fire. Smoke was beginning to
curl around the ij.ick ot. rne room
when
the principal and MissMaguire
icd. Without telling the children
returne
of the danger, the order was given to
put awaj slates. ."Children, you will
now arise and follow me," said Mrs. Mc
Closkey. The children left their seats
and formed in an orderly procession to
leave the room. 'e haven t got our
bats, said one little nngnt-eyea hoy,
auoui six jreir oiu. wuu w .n. iij 10
understand the unusual orders. "Xever
mind jour hats," answered the princi
pal, in'a commanding tone; "follow inc.1
And the children were led safely out in
to the .street. The same orders were
given to the pupils in the adjoining
room, who were under the care of Miss
es Rothschild and Johnson. Within a
few minutes after the children left the
gallery, one of the rooms was a mass of
flames. The westerly side and the whole
flooring burned like tinder, and sent out
volumes of smoke that began to fill every
room in the building. In a short time
the ceiling of the gallery took fire, and
the flames began to spread rapidly.
The admirable conduct of these
ladies is entitled to all praise. There
were no less than 1.525 children in at
tendance at the building .which was
consumed. Fortunately, about 725 of
the number were enjoying a short re
cess outside when the flames broke
out.
Baggage Found.
Oytkrviile, April 20. 1 found one
leather-bound trunk, on the weather
beach this afternoon, marked James A.
Miller, San Francisco, which please ad
vertise iu your paper.
I suppose it came from the steamer
Great Republic, as it has not been in the
water long. Trunk damaged some, but
all the papers and clothing are in good
order, for being in the water.
