despite the many announcements to the
contrary.
J. T. Field , of Field & Cole , desires to
relieve hinmelf from any suspicion that
ho wns among these who sought to take
advantage of the distress of the unfortun
ate excursionists. He walked from the
lake to the city to secure conveyances for
them , and did not charge the excursion
ists anything , simply taking their tickets
where they had any.
Haverly's mmistrels arc to appear at

assurance that there will bo an enjoya
ble evening of fun and frolic , good music

tions which ho promises for this occasion
there will bo a ready sale of tickets.
A real entertainment is promised all
who go to hear Chaplain Lozier at the G.
A. It. hall Monday night. The Union
Veteran legion has secured "the lighting
chaplain" for this one night , and all
should improve the oportunity of hear
ing him. Ho is one of the jolly sort of
men , who can laugh as well as fight , and
who can make others laugh.
The oldest daughter of Wall MoFaddcn
some tune ago lost the use of one eye , as
the result ot measles. The sightless orb
has been lately causing much irritation ,
and it was feared that it might affect the
other eye. Yesterday the eye-ball was
removed by Dr. Chamberlain , to avoid
any such results , and preserve the other
eye.
eye.J. . Hannibclscn , who lives about three
miles from the city in Hazel Dell town
ship , lias found that the springs upon his
farm have valuable mineral properties.
Ho has recently sent some of the water
to I'rof. Uodo , of Milwaukee , a well
known chemist , and the analysis shows ,
according to Mode's letter , that it has
Tory much the sarao qualities as the
famous Waukcslia water. Mr. Hanni-
bolscn proposes to put some of the water
on the market , and proceed to improve
the springs.
Miss Kittle Hurchell entertained her

terns. The refreshments consisted of ice
cream and cake. Kaeh guest was pre
sented with a beautiful souvenir , hand-
painted , the work of the fair hostess ,
who is an artist of no mean skill or abil
ity. The gathering was a joyous one ,
and the evening passed delightfully to
all participants.
Surveyor Broadbeck was yesterday
taking the measurements for the neccs-
iary crossings for the motor lino. From
this it appears that there is no immediate
prospect for the crossings being put in.
They will have to bo made , sent hero and
then laid , which will take .soiuu little time
yet. The public is getting out of patience
with the delays , apparently unnecessary ,
which are attending the construction of
this lino. It docs not appear clear why
Mr. Graves is so long getting this line in
operation.
Pat Horton was before the police court
yesterday for being drunk. Pat is an old
settler , and by holding to land which lie
got at the early prices , ho amassed a for
tune , but by the easy way of living and
free use of the cup ho has gradually al
lowed his property to dwindle to where
Dickies count big. Ho declared ho was
not drunk , but that ho had a sore foot ,
which made him limp , and even tumble
down. Ho got his case continued until
nitornoon , and then secured permission
to run over to the drugstore to got some
thing tor the foot which had brought
him into such disgrace. The judge told
him to hurry back , but at last reports ho
was still hunting for corn salvo.

Ilctnllf ) of The Disaster ,
3 Coroner Faul yesterday Impanelled the
ury to inquire In the Lake Manawa dls-
istcr. The place of holding the inquest
was the court room , in the Masonic build-
ng. The jury consisted of P. 0. DoVol ,
J. C. IJoilaven and A. C. Graham. The
county attorney , Colonel Dally , con
ducted the investigation , questioning the
witnesses ; * , and the coroner sat quietly
by , his only duty being apparently to
swear the witnesses.
Sol. 11. Foster , of the Council Hinds
laint , oil and glass company , testified :
i\'ns on steamer Manawa whun she went
lown. Mv watch was stopped by the
water at 10:15 : o'clock. Before wo loft
.ho wharf someone asked the captain
low many were on the boat anil ho re-
ilied "about twenty-live. " 1 didn't sco
my one.
Our party got in bow wind blew stern
if boat back against dock ; I heard tim
bers crack ; some one said it was the
wheel-house that broke ; my belief is. a
liole was knocked into stern of boat in
striking dock. Bow of boat was to the
west when it was at dock ; the stern was
toward bath houses. Cracking of tim
bers might have been those on tiie dock.
Wo started down the lake to the west.
None of the boat hands were in bow of
boat. 1 didn't see any one on the boat
except adults , all men. Everything tome
mo was quiet and ordurly. It showed tote
to mo very plainly that the water came
into the stern of the boat , and when the
order logo forward came they rushed to
the bow and it sank. The waves did
not wasli over the bow. I don't
think the boat was overloaded ,
when the bow went down I jumped into
: ho water and swam ; went back and got
lolil of Hag staff ; four or five men were
: n the water ; balance were holding on to
: ho boat. Some swam toward the boat
louses on the beach. It took all my
: imo to look after myself. Boat Is fired
from the bow ; don't know anvtlnng
xbout the people in charge. George
Motcalf , F. J. Dav , Charlie Ferson and
myself sat in the bow under Metoalf's
umbrella , facing lire box. First noticeil
water in pit near fire box with scum on
t ; apparently fresh water. Less than
ive seconds it was putting out lire. Someone
ono said to get to the front , < uid she
wont down in an instant , bow first.
H , L. Shepard. clerk for Benson &
Mayne , stated that in his opinion the
crowd rushing to onu end was the im-
nediato cause of the disaster , lie had
ivoided the steamer Manawa heretofore
thinking it unsafe , but as she had been
changed to a side whcolor r'ocently ,
.bought she was now all right. Every
body behaved in an orderly manner. It
was raining very hard. Shepard al first
Maimed to have been in the stern of the
loat , but when his attention was called
o facing the tire box ho concluded it was
the bow instead.
F. J. Day , real estate broker. Colonel
Oaily asked witness if ho could throw
my additional light on the .subject. Ho
said , "as I sat down , on going on board ,
[ found a brace and auger bit on
the seat. I asked if there were
any life preservers on board and
understood there were , but could
find none , as I put my hand under the
seat. Before wo got on board ono of the
deck-hands said they could carry safely
ten more passengers. Metcalf , Fosler
uid myself were the first , 1 think , to dis
cover the water going into the fire-box. I
think it was the whcelhouso that struck
the dock before we left ; was sitting right
by it. Some suggestions were made
about it. but a boat-hand said it was all
right. I think the boat drifted after it
went tlown. I stood on top of the awning
with water up to luy breast. Water did
not wash over the bow at all. I saw
three men jump and leave boat. It was
suggested that some good swimmer go to
notify these on tlic beach , and 1 think
two loft with llfu preservers.
Harry 11. Ininnn testified as to being
an auctioneer. Ilu said. "I was wet and
cold and was standing by the engine get
ting warm as wo left the dock. 1 noticed
in particular the engineer seemed to have
trouble in getting started. Didn't know
of boat striking dock. 1 was standing
where they put coal in the furnace , fac
ing ttie boiler. Saw the water but don't
know how it got in. 1 must have been in
bow of boat. Everybody seemed quiet
on board. I know the waves were not
high. "
Eli Thomas testified : "Iheld the wheel
during the accident. I had piloted her a
number of times , but not since they
changed her to a sido-whcoler. Have
known her since September last. She
was on the beach out of the water with
probably ton inches of water in her. Dur
ing the winter the water fro/o in her.
Saw her in the spring. They put a now
hull over the outside of the old ono. The
original hull was of cottonwood ; they put
on a false set of ribs over old hull clear
to deck , leaving a space of four inches
between the two hulls. The old bottom
was not touched , the repairs being only
on the sides. The new casing was of
inch pine lumber. She was a stern pad
dle wheeler until four or five days ago. I
know she sank one time. In Juno the
wind blow her onto shore. Later she
sank. 1 helped raise her at the hotel
dock , where she sank in four and a half
feet of water. Didn't stay to see if she
"
had a hole in her. She "mado her first
trip the night before she sank after chang
ing the wheel. llavu had no
experience in piloting. Her captain is
her regular pilot. The captain was at
the engine and I was at the pilot during
the accident. The engineer was sick. 1
helped push her away from the dock.
Corner of wheel caught dock. I don't
think wheel was damaged but won't
swear it wasn't. 1 suppose 1 should have
examined it. 1 didn't want to leave the
dock as the storm was very heavy. I
wasn't anxious to leave , but was confi
dent we could make the trip. The port
wheel caught dock. We went down the
laku ; shouted to captain to stop wheels
as I tried to turn her. Asked three or
four to come to stern of boat as the rud
der was out of the water some
and I wanted to sink the rudder ,
1 then shouted to the captain , "For
God's sake , get thorn forward and stop
the wheels. " She then instantly went
down bow first. I held onto the tiller
until the bow struck bottom. Thu stern
then sank and I still hold on to the tiller
until 1 was in water to my shoulders.
The steamer Manawa now lies with
some water in her upon the beach , where
they looked to find If any bodies were
still in her. I liavo made no examina
tion for holes in her bottom. She was
ordinarily in charge of J. Tipton as en
gineer and Harvey Holloway as captain
and pilot. She carried from forty to
sixty pounds of steam and has a sovon-
horsii power engine. She wasn't heavily
loaded when she loft the dock. "
At this point , it then being 19 o'clock ,
a recess was taken until 3 o'clock.
After recess the first witness called was
Harvey Holloway , owner of the steamer
Manawa. He said his previous business
was farming and bo had been baling hay
four years proviolis ' to last spring.
Steamur Manawa was a stern-wheeler up
. to last Monday , " 1 did most of the work
myself. She was , finished Wednesday
evening nnd'mado two trips that even
ing. On'Thursday'thu day of''llio'dis
aster , I ran her all day. The boat was
) ullt about , two years ago at Onawa , of
elm and not cottonwood. She was
twenty-nino foot long , seven feet wide
and was built for a steamer ! the man
building it calculating to goto Florida on
it. Part of the old machinery is
) n it. She I.is ) a sovcn-liorso power boi
ler , only change I've made was the
widening of the boat thteo feet by put
ting on now sides over old .sides. The
top was left open a distance of eighteen
inches in center of boat. "
Colonel Dally hero tried to got him to
explain it ho didn't think this a danger
ous way to leave it.
Ho admitted if water gel in between
these at the top on one side that it would
bo apt to tip the boat. Ho stated that
there was no way to got the water out
after it got in between these two bulls ,
[ ixcopt to pump it out by putting a pump
in between. The only experience ho
had in running a steam en
gine was In running da hay
press engine. "That evening my en
gineer was sick ; I was engineer that
night. Thomas was pilot that night. 1
was attending the engine and was on the
boat when she ieft the dock. 1 knew she
struck the dock before we left. 1 don't
know If any damage was done or not.
Didn't examine it at all. Ham was com
ing from thu northwest and the crowd
kept well over to the .southeast comer in
the storn. At the time the boat was
sinking I heard the pilot say to jcml the
crowd forward. I shut oil' steam to reverse -
verso the engine , intending to try to start
up for the beach. Wo aimed
to run north to the willows
and run to the hotel landing
nuder the lea of the willows. The only
way 1 can account for the sinking was
on account of the crowd getting on the
side. About sixteen inches of water
would be required in the bottom of the
boat to put tlic lire out. An ordinary load
would bo forty or fifty people ; wo had
sixty on the trip before that. Wo had
about twenty-live to thirty on it on that
trip. Thu reason she sank in Juno was
in auger hole throe-quarters of an inch
in the bottom of the hull. After she wont
down 1 swam to shore for help. 1 was
along side of Mr. Inman , near the center
of the boat. "
Alderman George Motcalf , of Motcalf
Bros. , testified : "Was on the Manawa
when she sank. Nearly all the .scats
were filled , and probably 23 persons were
on it. Our party sat in the bow near the
3enter of the boat. Wo noticed water in
the nit. Some one said she was sinking ,
and immediately she began to sink ; in
live seconds she was on the bottom.
About eight or ten were forward of the
center. If the boat had been out of bal
ance wo certainly would have noticed it.
Mr. Ferson jumped ahead of mo ; as 1
wont into the water I put my head on
top of the canvas. Ferson wont
toward the island. I did
lot know Newman or Cartwright.
Those on the boat were all quiet and
orderly. I know nothing of the boat
striking the dock. 1 thought the storm a
ightone , more of a mist than a rain , at
that time , and didn't consider it a dan
gerous night at all. "
Joseph Gaglagan , engineer of the
. of the Lake testified1 "Am
l./ady , : engi
neer ; been on Lake Manawa four weeks ;
nspected the machinery on the Manawa
and believe it all right. I have a govern
ment license for running boats. Was no
) n the beach at the time , was over at tlit
lotcl landing. I consider the false sideo
dangerous. If water got in one side is
would bo liable to tip it , but if the samel
amount of water was in botli sides In tlic
chambers she would balance. "
After taking the above testimony the
jury , accompanied by the coroner and
county attorney , with tlic reporters , pro
ceeded In carnages to the lake. Upon
irrival at the beach the ill-fated steamer
Manawa was found to bo lying on the
ground about thirty feel out in the water ,
where she had been towed by the steamer
Lady of the Lake on Friday. Taylor
Wolsey and Huben Bryant had just
searched the Mr.nawa for any bodies
that might have remained in
tier. They thinking possibly the Hico
boy , reported missing , might bo in the
steamer.
The object of the jury's visit was to ex
amine the bottom of the steamer and to
see if she had been scuttled , but in that
position it was impossible to make any
examination at all. It was then deter
mined to haul her up onto the beach but
how to do this was an important question
to solve. They finally procured ropes
and all hands , including the jury , began
to pull away , but she gave way very
reluctantly and only moved inch by inch.
Many of the boatmen on the lake lent
their assistance , increasing the number
at the ropes to about forty.
The boat was bailed out finally after
she was pulled to within fifteen feet of
the shorn , the chambers between the two
hulls still contained water. She lloated
for an hour or so , which wont to show
that she contains no holes. No examina
tion was made from the outside of dark
ness interfered , but will bo to morrow.
Thu jury returned at 0 o'clock last night ,
adjourning until to-morrow morning.
The Omaha parties who were in the
wreck will bo examined Monday.
The House * or Mournlnc.
The funeral of Charles Ferson will
probably bo held Tuesday morning. In
response to a telegram sent to his rela
tives in Massachusetts Information has
been received that his brother is on the
way hero , and is expected to arrive Mon
day. His parents are quite aged , and
they will probably not be able to under
take the sad journey. The blow to hid
wife has boon a terrible one. She was
recovering somewhat from the shock yes
terday , but is still confined to her bod.
The tendorest sympathy is felt throughout
the community , and she h receiving the
moso careful attention. Her stop-father ,
Judge Casady , is quite ill , his health
having been poorly for some time. Mrs.
Casady finds duty drawing her in two
directions at once , her husband and her
daughter each needing her constant at
tention and care.
The body of young Cartwright was yes
terday taken to his homo at Weston , Mo. ,
for burial. His brother , Robert , and Mrs.
Bell , wife of the Omaha druggist for
whom ho was'at work , accompanied the
remains.
The Illco Boy.
No tidings have been had of the Rico
boy and many suppose that ho was lost
in tha wreck. The boy is ono who is
inclined to roam about , and has no very
fixed habitationso he may bo all right yet.
Ho had been out in the country working
for some one , and came into the city the
night before the disaster. Late that
night ho appeared at the police station ,
and as ho was well acquainted with the
officers , they allowed him to remain
there. Ho was just in time to share
in their midnight lunch , and when
a ked why he didn't go to his brother's to
sleep , ho said ho was afraid his brother
would not lot him go to the picnio at the
lake the next day. Ho had 50 cents with
him and this ho was saving for the picnic.
Ho had a ticket good for ono trip on the
Manawa. Ho slept in the station that
night , and it is supposed wont to the
lake the next day as intended. The
habits of the boy wore such as raise
grave doubts about his being in the
wreck , for ho may have taken a notion
to go out in the country again or other
wise disappear.
Notes From the Itnko.
Ole Anderson , a Northwestern railway
employe , lost a $75 gold watch with his
coat anil vest , in the wreck. Mr. Snod-
grass found them and Joft them at police
headquarters , whore they were idonti-
.lied.
: There were , very few visitors at the
lake yesterday and last evening. Tne
shadow of the. disaster rests too heavily
for the community to ( jikg much pleasure
thcro at present. ( ,
The Manawa was twit ) .verv well sup
plied with life preservers. There wore
noiio belonging to tho7boat , but Mr.
Woolsov , of the Lady1 of the Lake , lent
four. In the disaster the captain used
ono of these , leaving throe for the thirty
passengers to divide among themselves.
The boat had no pump to put in use in
ca o of a leak , or water coming over the
sides. The more the > niattcr i.s looked
Into the more fcarfnl seems the re
sponsibility that rests upon the man who
would solicit passenger. * for such a tub ,
even on a pleasant day , to'say nothing of
a stormy night. ' , (
Thumping n'Tcnant.
M. Friel , of Avoca , Is the latest victim
of the hot blood which lias caused several
sensational occurrences in the place. His
trouble was with W. B. Cuppy , of whom
lie rents sixty acres of land about a mile
cast of town , and near where Cuppy
lives. The statement of the affair as
given by Mr. Friol is that on Wednesday
evening , between 8 and 9 o'clock , ho was
preparing to drive homo with the last
load of barley , which they had been
thrashing that day. The barley bad been
divided at the machine , Mr. Cuppy re
ceiving one-third. With Mr. Fricl was
his boy , a lad of fifteen. The
boy was'opening the gate , and Friol was
driving " through when Cuppy appeared
on the"scone , and in a rage. Ho seized
the horses and backed them into the
yard , swearing a bin swear that Fricl
should not take the barlov off the place.
As a man named Desmond had made the
division at the machine , Friel felt that ho
had only what belonged to him , and in
sisted on taking it. High words ensued.
Friol was sitting on the high spring seat
of the wagon , while Cuppy was standing
on the ground at ( ho side of thu wagon.
During the quarrel Friel says that Cuppy
suddenly picked up a round piece of
wood , about three feet long , and struck
him , knocking him over backwards into
the barley. As he foil he hit him the
second time on the side of the neck and
shoulder. As Friel Jay partially over
the seat , and unconscious , the boy
started to lift him up , but Cuppy turned
on the lad and witli an oath threatened
to "knock him C9ld. "
Friol , after laying there a little while ,
recovered consciousness biilliciontly to
sit up , and after some more abusive
words from Cuppy was allowed to drive
out without further molestation. The
wound inflicted is about three inches in
length , across the forehead. His eye" arc
entirely closed and face badly swollen.
Friel is much prostrated , and is unable to
take nourishment. Dr. Connauchoy , the
attending physician , says there is no im-
mciilato danger , and unless inflammation
sets in ho will bo all right. No arrests
have been made as yet. Friel is fifty-six
years of ago , and has a family of six
children , lie is said to bo a quiet , in
offensive , hard working man , and there
is much sympathy felt for him in the
community.
A Musty lilvorce I'npcr.
A soiled , pocket-worn petition for a
divorce was filed yesterday in the district
court. It had apparently Ween made out
originally October 5 , ISStf , mid thru car
ried around in somebody's , pocket until
now , when the date was changed , the in
strument freshly acknowledged and filed.
The plaintiff is Ben F. Allison and the
defendant Sarah Allison. The original
petition sol forth that she had threatened
to knock his brains out , but the revised
edition omitted this and the claim for
freedom was based solely on the fact that
she had loft his bed and board in March ,
1831 , and had not returned. The certifi
cate of the wife accepting service was
made upon the back of the petition , so
that it appears that they have agreed to
disagree.
