The lock to the switch had been tampered with, but was not broken, bait a key found near tin* switch, shows that an effort was made io unlock it.

The Treasury officials who are charged with the re¬ sponsibility of those transactions, have no anxiety whatever in regard to the method which is. and has been pursued by the sellers of the gold coil) under the recent contract. They are satisfied to •nub inmate the fact that for five weeks the withdrawals of gold coin have not exceeded the normal amount, with the ixri.ui n of the instance piloted above, ■nil that a, exports of gold whatever, have been mad * during that time. "Jn regard to the excess of Govern¬ ment exueudPtires over receipts, it is we’*l known that the latter aire rapidly increasing, and that up to this time, nothing lias been received from the in- *o:ae tax and very little from sugar ■Inly, both of which will be important items of Government receipts in the near future.

I'here is a Question of law as to when the appro¬ priation for the payment of the sugar bounty becomes available, and until that question is settled it will be impossible ro make any payments thereunder. Moreover, all the claims for bounty must lie adjusted before payment, since pay¬ ment must be pro rata if the appropria¬ tion is insufficient.

SHE UAH DIED DOWN WITH HEH EIGHT EIISONS. l.una IN CONTACT WITH A CHESA¬ PEAKE AND OHIO BRIDGE. Over One Hundred Persons Were on Hoard the Hunt. By Southern Associated Press. Cincinnati, O., March 8.—The hand¬ some Cincinnati and New Orleans packet Longfellow went to the bottom of the Ohio river at 7 o’clock this morning. Eight or more persons went down with her. She sank in thirty feet of water, opposite the Marmet coal landing, at the foot of Smith street. She struck the channel span of the Chesapeake and Ohio bride and sank within three min¬ utes. According to the best information eight people were lost, but there were over one hundred people on hoard the boat when she struck, The pilot in charge of the boat says the fog was so dense when she struck that he was un¬ able to discern the pier In the mist and was not aware of its proximity, The steamer literally crumbled to pieces im¬ mediately following the collision, and the bow of the boat sunk, while the cabin and stern floated away. The body of Janies Miller, a porter, has been found. The victims were as follows; David Aldridge, passenger, Rome, N. Y.; Capt- tan J. Lawrence Carter, first clerk, New¬ port, Ky., Gns Chauve, barber, Cincin¬ nati; Mrs. IV. J. Anil, passenger, Day- ton, O.; James Miller, colored porter, Cincinnati, Missing —IV. J. Aull, pas- senger, Dayton, O. The real cause of the accident, it was said, was that the boat, like the ill-fated State of Mississippi, was so unwieldly that she became unmanageable and the pilots were poerless to control her. The boat was to have left here for New Or¬ leans last night, but was prevented from doing so on account of a dense fog. River men say the fog was even greater this morning and the boat should never have left. It was de ided. however, by the own¬ er of the White Color Line, which owns it. to send the boat out and the tow boat Hercules Carel was sent out to aid her in passing below the bridges. Th * Carrel was secured to the stern of the Longfellow and both boats pass¬ ed down the river to a pointy,bout fifty yards above the Chf-apeake ana Ohio bridge, where the Longfellow became entirely unmanageable. Watchers on shore say the boat’s bow pointed direct¬ ly for Kentucky shore* and when fully fifty yards distant it was seen that a collision was inevitable, The Carrel swung around and the strain almost caused tin* hawsers to part, but they held fast for the time being and it was thought for a moment the collision could Oio averted, but a moment later it became apparent that she would strike. .Many of the passengers were in their state rooms engaged in sort¬ ing tlcir baggage and preparing fot tre long trip. Shrill blasts of the whistle on both the Carrel and Long¬ fellow were the test warnings of any danger, and the doors of state rooms were hurriedly thrown open while the passengers gathered together on the front part of the cabin deck. The fog was so dense that they could see noth ing and but few of them wore aware ot the actual danger. The officers were cool and collected, and retained their presence of mind for the most part, even in the face of imminent danger. The crew were summoned in front of the boiler deck and preparations were rapidly made for removing passengers, many of whom were ladies, to the Carrel, which was Nitlll moored along- All this occupied but a fraction ot lime 'between the moment when it was first seen that the boat would strike and the actual collision. The sound, when the boat struck could be heard for several squares along tile rivet front, jind sounded as if the walls of a great building had fallen. A mo¬ ment later the river was black with floating wreckage and freight, The passengers had escaped to the Carrel and when i In* collisaions occurred, the hawsers broke, while the Carrel drifted to the Kentucky side of the pier. The wreck sank quickly and three minutes later scarcely a vestige remained. The number of missing and dead, so far as known at this time by the'boat’s agents, is eight, but this number may be in¬ creased when the floating wreckage is overhauled. There were about forty passengers on the boat, a crew of fifty- two and about twenty laborers. None of the latter are known as they were only shipped for the river and transfer company, a short distance below the Chesapeake and Ohio bridge. Even the number of laborers is not known and, therefore, it is impossible to ascertain ivheth' r or not any are missing. William Colbert, second clerk, was among the last to leave the boat, and he was also the last to see Captain Carton. When he saw that the boat was about to strike the pier, he hur¬ ried to his own state room, where his wife was dressing, having just arisen. His young son was with her and hur riedlv warning them to prepare to leave the boat, he passed on through to Captain Carter’s state room. Capt. Carter was just lacing on his shoes and was standing near his berth. Col¬ bert liastily shouted warning to him to leave the bear,, as she would strike in another moment. Capt. Carter ap¬ peared t > be dazed for tile time, being unable to realize the full importance j of the warning, for he continued to lace his shoes. Colbert, without wait¬ ing further, hurried back to his own stateroom and there, taking his wife, both ran to the deck and jumped from this to the roof of the deck of the Carrel. Colbert's son followed them, and all three escaped uninjured. A moment later the Carrel’s hawser broke and she drifted off to one side. Captain Carter could be faintly seen in the fog in the hurricane of the Long¬ fellow and then the wreck drifted away. The steamer struck the pier just, abaft her boiler. All was confusion and the passengers wore so hastily aroused that only a few of them had time to get their clothes. The Hercules Carrel pressed to the Longfellow’s assistance aiud the lat¬ ter’s passengers were transferred to the Carrel’s deck. Hardly had the last one saved landed on. the uninjured steamer, when the Imngfellow parted amidships and disuppeared in the muddy stream, bow first. The pilot house and some of the upper works floated down stream and were picked up later in the afternoon- All papers and records were lost and nearly everything in the way of per¬ sonal property of the passengers and crew. During the hasty transfer of the survivors, James Miller, a colored porter became more frightened than the rest, and jumped; just as he did so the boat came together, and miscalculating the distance, the unfortunate negro was caught between them and his body ground in two A moment later both portions of the man fell into the river and disappeared. Cause of the Accident. The ea use of the accident, as conceded by all rivernien who knew the Long¬ fellow, was the steamer’s refusal to obey her rudder when she felt the strong cur¬ rant. below the suspension bridge. When the vessel struck the piier. Captain Per¬ kins was in command, with Pilots White and Tremmeil at -the wheel. Thame ion Houril. Ou Western rivers the register of pas¬ sengers is in duplicate, one list being kept on board. None of the office pa¬ pers have beau recovered, hut the offi¬ cers of the boat feel assured that they have accounted for all the crew and pas¬ sengers. Among the latter the following were reported to the company office in this city: Mrs. W. J. Colbert, wife of second clerk, and son; Mrs. Aldridge, of Rome. NY., whose husband was lost; Mrs. S. A. Spiffing, -and two sons, of this city ; Mrs. M. A. Allen, and Miss Fannie Met¬ calf, of Walnut Hills; Mrs. Peter, of Kirker, Capt. G. H. McKay, and wife, Cleveland; Dr. Mary Armstrong and MiHB Harrington, of Jamestown, N. Yl, Mrs. Bkiniur. of Massillon; J. 8. Frank and wife, of Marysville, Mo., Mrs. Au¬ relia Colte, George, Oolte, Miss Mamie Colte, Mrs. Mattie Rolan and two chil¬ dren, all of New York. When the force of the Shock was felt the colored roustabouts were among tin- first to realize tin* extent of tile disaster. They made n wild rush for the Carrel, trampling passengers under fixit in their rush. Several of the passengers received serious treatment, among them, Ed. Skidmore, a brother of Chas. W. Skid- mote, u telegraph operator at the Grand Central Depot, who was aisnard the Longfellow to see a party of friends off. Mr. Skidmore was in the ladies’ nanlor, and when the roustabouts made their charge for tin* Carrol, lie realized that, lie intit-ii tight for the lives of the ladies and liis own. Catching up a life preserver lie knocked one of tile ne¬ groes down and helping his friends aboard the Carrel, he returned Io the Long fellow to see if lie couild offer any assistance to others. By doing so he was enabled to save two children and two -move indies, after which there was only time to save himself before the boat sank. Another pasneinger on his way io Memphis with four smiiaM, children, the crush man aged to ma ke his way through and save himself and little ones.

Y., probably Longfellow met his fate while going back to the after seeing bin wife 'safely to the Carrel. He toaid left his overcoat and satchel in his stateroom and in going back for it got lost, and went dowtn. Oa,pt. and Mrs. McKay are at the Palace Hotel, as are also Mary Anderson and Miss Harrington, her patient. Mrs. Aldridge was completely prostrated over her lius- band’H death, -and is left without clothes or money by the accident. The steamer Duigfellow was one of the largest, best known and handsomest packets on the Ohio River. She was a stem-wheeler, and up to abot I v.f> ye are ago was known a« U. I’. Schenok. Ai that time She was purchased Collpr by Line her present owners, the White Company, mid (her -name was changed to Ijongfeltow,.
