Atl o'clock this moruii'g rows was received of a terrible ciuaater on the Detroit ivcr , about a mile above Grassy Isle , whereby fifteen 1 ves were lost by a ollision between the propeller I ar- and and the steam yacht Mamie. The Mamie had on board Father Blyen- turg , of the Trinity Catholio church , of this city , and his altar baye,1 sixteen n number. Father Blyenburg and our boys were saved ; twelve boys and wo women and the engineer wera lost. [ 'ho ' Mamie was cut in two amidships. DETAILS OF TUB DISASTER. Special dtepa'ch to Tu BKI. DETROIT , July 23 4 p. m. Yes terday morning Father Blyenbergh , pastor of the Roman Catholic church of the Holy Trinity , of this city , started out to give his altar boys their regular excursion. They went on joard the steam yacht Mamie and were taken to Monroe , Mich. On their return , while coming up Detroit river , at about ton o'clock Ust night , at a point just below Grassy Island ight house , the yacht was met by the steamer Garland , of Detroit , having on board the Moulder Union and a arge party of friends , and a collision ok place , the Garland RUNNING THROUGH TUB Sl'EAJU YAUI1T and sinking her almost inatanUneous- y. There were 24 persons on board the Mamie , of these but eight were saved the others going down in the deep swift water with no hope of find ng the bodies yet for day ; . The captain of the Garland , Geo. Elorn , was near the wheel house with ; he wheelsman at the time , and on Ming interviewed by a News reporter to-day , refused to talk. Wheelsman I. W. Buffeays he eaw a light which ,01 k to be an anchor light and no red or green lights. When about fifty eet from the light lie teard a whistle from the Mamie. Hu answered it. and bickod the engines , and then culled to Gap * . Horn to he 1 . .t . the wheel. He thinks the Mamie must have tried to cross his bow Boats were lowered immediately and tfe preservers thrown overboard. There waa a great lack of nerve and system in the matter of rescuing so : ar aa the officers of "Ih'a Garland are concerned. It appears that the Ma mie was struck on the quarter , and went down almost instantly. A COWARDLY OJTIOER. An officer of the Garland , or oni > appearing to be in authority , cursed these who were throw ing over life pre servers and made them stop it , but a negro employe of the boat seemed to have more nerve than anyone else be longing to the b sat and set to work throwing over life preservers. James Murtagh , an f.tUchee of The Evening News , and a level headed , courageous young mm , snys-he was on the Garland , sitting at the bow. when the accident occurred. He says the Garland was runniug straight down the river on her course. The boats would have parsed but the yacht sud denly , when but a few feet from the Garland , put her wheel over and shot across the bow of the Garland , when she was struck and went down. There will be a rigid examination by the au thorities. THE LOST are as follows : Frank Nolan , Johr Howe , David Barry , John Donovon , Will Cuddy , David Cuddy , the laal being brothers , John Co&grove , Jatnot Tooney , Joseph Monayhan , Toomat McSayer , Andrew Dovan and Joht Kelley. All the boys were from 10 tc 16 years of age. The others lost were Lizzie Mnrphe Mary Hohn , Mrs. M-try Martin anc Thomas Kelly , sexton of the church THOSE SAVED were Father Bleycnbsrgh , Mias Dus sen , four boys ani the captain ant engineer of the yacht , who conatitutec the crew. There was but a moment | to act , a the awful tragedy was over in a mo ment of time , although there wen several instances of individual heroism of those on board of the Gar land , among them bein ? that of Johi Quirk , a young moulder , who dev from the boot and picked up tw < drowning boys. The accident is the first of the kinc hare in many years , and thrills thi city with horror. Mamie's Losa. Sptcial Dispatch Io the EBB. DETROIT , July 24 1 a. m. Then appears to be no great amount of ad ditional facts about the "Mamie" dis aster. Divers are looking for thi wreck of the Mnmie and bringing he to the surface. It will be attempted if this cau be done , to prove that he lights were set when she went down as her engineer says. All testimon ; thus far shows the night to nave beei singularly jclear , and that the boat could be seen long before they struck It is claimed that they were sUndin ; on courses which , if maintained would possibly have allotted them t pass. This may be true , but the ; would have been too close for p > sitiv < afety even then.

To-day the the n'rst dirt was thrown for the new Conference Seminary at York , and the occasion was both eloquent and festive. Nearly all tbe stores in town locked doors and the lively town of York , burse , foot and dragoon , ware transported to the campus. The band first paraded the ttroetsas a signal foi movement , and then the livery and pedestrians took a lively eacspade tc to the hill at the east edge of town , where the ceremony was to take place. The choir selected for tie occasion discoursed some excellent selection ! of music , and speeches were made by Rev. 0. S. Harrison , the Congrega tional pastor of the place , and Rev. D. F. Rodabaugb , M. E. presiding elder. The next in the programme was to remove the first dirt of thi excavationfor the-foundation walls. The honor waa acccorded to tbe ladies of the townbut np rose a gray-haired pioneer of. eighty years' and offered them five dollars if they would con cede to him that privilege. Then com menced the bidding which decided the privilege-In favor of W. D. Meade , a newcomer , the price being fiftees dollars. "Father" Beecher , the 6wt bidder , moved the second shovelful for five dollars. The ladles of Yorl are undertaking to lay the foundation , and for a start in raising money hole an ice cream festival on the ground immediately after the ceremonies.
