THE WRECK OF TUB WHIG HI'. unrrToldbr an Indian Survivor of the Disaster. San Francisco, J nne 4, A nrvivor of the wreck of the steamship George S. Wright has been discovered at last in the person of an Indian, named Coma. He was recog nized on the street at Nunaime, Brit ish Columbia, last Friday, and was arrested and brought to Victoria, Island, yesterday. The -wvm o f tn.lav savs: "Since the Aiiflr Coma has constantly evaded the police, and until quite recently it w!w not known that there existed a noi. onrvivnr nf the wreck. Coma haa nnnraaaoA to the SuDerintendent .of Police, after being duly cautioned, that at night the boilers of the steam ship exploded and she began to sink at once. Captain Ainsley, with four United States officers and a passen ger, got into a boat, and told Coma, who was on deekyto get in too. The s-est of the people were in bed or tried to escape by means of anotney uoat. The captain's party, seven in all, ainllprl ashore near Cane Caution. The VOL. XX. NO. 67. They were nearly naked, and the Indians gave them blankets to keep them warm. A day or two after wards three canoe loads of Indians came to the spot, and Captain Ains- le y offered the leader $500 to convey the shipwrecked men to Fort Rupert. Four of the Indians were armed with muskets, with which they killed all the whites. Thej then tied stones to their bodies and sunk them in deep water. They robbed the bodies of all valuables, including the cap tain's gold watch and chain. They spared Coma, bat told him that if he ever dared to narrate the circum stances they would kill his father. Coma thinks all the people on board who were in bed at the time of the explosion were drowned, as the ship went down rapidly. The prisoner was to-day confronted with four In dians, who were brought in as prisoners by the steamer Rockett, and have since been in jail here, and identified two of them as belonging to the parly of murderers.

Uoncord &un: we learn tbat a . s- v- . little three year old child of Mr. Charley Walters, living in the neighborhood of Mill Hill, was very badly burned, last Thursday. It was left to itself in the kitchen, and as there was fire only in the stove it was sup posed that no harm would come to it, but its mother was shortly afterwards attracted by its screams, and when help arrived, tbe child was seriously burned. Macou Advance; One day last week a party were surveying in the Smokey Mountains, when a difficulty occurred, re sulting in the death of J. J. Calhoun, caused by a knife in the hands of rhilip Jenkins. Of the origin or particulars of this unfortu nate affair we are not informed, and do not pretend to fix the blame upon any one. We learn, however, that it was a bloody affair. Jenkins is ia jail in Swain county, Capt. Woodson writes from Chapel Hill on June 6th to tbe Raleigh Observer: "We have no idea the number of visitors already on the ground, but this we do know, the hotels and private board ing houses are full, and double tbe number are expected to-day and to-morrow. We have met here with prominent men from every section of the State, and the univer sal expression is, T am glad that I came.'

It is a good news paper, and we are glad to learn that Mr. Bernard has succeeded in making arrange ments by which the Stab will be delivered to subscribers anywhere in town immedi ately upon the arrival of the morning train from Wilmington, 10:01 A, M., and at the low price of fifteen cents per week. -- Concord Sun: It is generally unknown that within a mile of the Court House, there is a graveyard over 100 years old grown up with bushes, trees neglected. It is the first burial place of the Baptists, and is now marked by a thick growth of shrubbery in the middle of a field of cot ton on the land now owned by Qapt. Henrv Dowd.

The President of the First Ward Democratic Club requests a meeting of the members at Brooklyn Hall to-night. -r- It was lightning very briskly in the ! East Wednesday night, about 13 o'clock, but not a sign of a cloud was vis ible. 4-' Col. E. D. Hall has removed his magistrate's office to a room in the second story of Evans' Block, with entrance from the west side. Nearly stationary, followed by falling barometer, stationary or higher temperature, southerly winds and partly cloudy weather. The present dry spell is proving very disastrous to truck farmers, gardeners, &c, and we hear that many wells and springs are running dry. Disinfectants can be had on ap plication at the City Hall free of charge. It is important to the health of the city that they should be used f reefy at this season of the year. 4 The State and County and city tax lists will hereafter be given in at the office of the Board of Audit (formerly the Marshal's office), where the various listers will sit from day to day for that purpose. Justice Harriss, one of our new ly appointed Magistrates, married his first couple yesterday at his office, the parties "spliced" jbeing a colored couple named Isaac Carter and Sally Ann Gause. Mayor Dawson has turned over the room in the City Hall formerly used as the Marshal's office to the Board of Audit, and the Marshal or Chief of Police will hereafter have a desk in the City Court room, i more Stolen Good Recovered-An In cident, ace. Somewhere about the time that the at tempt was made to shoot Mr. Oscar Grant, at the Lippitt place, Mrs. Martha Walker, living on the same land, opposite Mr. Thos. Monk's residence, heard some noise back of her bouse, when her little boy went to a window and raised it to see what was the matter. Just as he did so a gun was dis charged, the shot from which passed just above the youth's head and buried them selves in the weather-boarding on the op posite side of the house. On the same night Mrs. Walker had three white cups and saucers, a molasses jug, two tumblers, and some knives and forks stolen from her, undoubtedly by the same parties who fired upon her son. - A short time previous to that she had twenty-four head of chickens stolen from her. Yesterday Officer Carr made another search at the Nixon house, the headquarters of Nixon, Ellerby, Kelley and others, and found tbe three cups and saucers, which were identified by Mrs. Walker as her pro perty, the cups being of a peculiar make and easily recognized. Officer Carr, du ring the same visit, alst found in a target on the premises some shot which corres ponded in size with some of those fired at Mr. Grant, and which were subsequently extracted from tbe window facing. Preliminary Examination of Ellerby In two Case. Robert Ellerby, one of the "Moonlight Club Society," who has been concerned in so many of the robberies recently brought to light, had a hearing before Justice Gard ner Yesterday moraine in two cases, to wit: For stealing a clock from Mr. T. H. Smith, and for stealing a monkey-wrench from Mr. John Oldenbuttel, together with a padlock which had been removed from his (Mr. O.'s) stable door, both of which were traced to Ellerby. He offered no de fence, and was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $300 in each case for his appearance at Court He was also ar raigned on a charge of assault and battery, on the affidavit of one Emanuel Haggett, a warrant upon which had been issued some time ago, and bound over on the same. El lerby was remanded to jail to await a hear ing in the other cases of larceny, &c, with which.be stands charged. Tiie Water Question. The cry of the Market and Front street dry goods merchants, "Sprinkle, sprinkle, water cart, How I wonder where thou art' reminds us that we saw a squirting machine in operation in front of an insurance office on Water street yesterday. It threw a love ly stream, and a bucket of water was no where when it got under full headway. In fact, we saw it empty one, that was brim ming full, in five minutes by the watch. And it was encouraging to see with what vim and energy the pipeman plied his vo- cation. BOARD OF ALDERKIEN. Proceedings of the Special meeting Meld Yesterday. A special meeting of the Board of Alder men was held yesterday afternoon to con sider the election of the different city offi cials. The proceedings of tbe former meeting were read, and, on motion, ap proved. On motion of Alderman Foster the rules of order governing the former Board were adopted for the present. The committee appointed to examine books, finances, property, &c, of the city, reported substantially as follows: That owing to tbe magnitude of the work and short time allowed, the commit tee were unable to examine the books, &c. , as minutely as they would have desired. The bonded debt of the city amounted to $550,800, drawing an annual interest of $40,422 00. There had been no record Jtept of the intefesl cospons attached to these bonds. The committee urged upon the Board the necessity of at once provid ing such a record. Of this bonded debt, $40,000 matured Jan. 1st, 1877, and is as yet unpaid ; $36,000 falls due February 1st, 1878, which the committee earnestly urged should be met at maturity. The committee found that the license tax on dogs and drays had been much neglected. The committee recommended that tbe detective force be reduced to one, an ex amination showing that eight men had hitherto been employed at a cost to the city of nearly $4,060 per annum. The City Hall was found to be in an ex tremely dilapidated condition, needing re pairs throughout. Work should be done upon the roof immediately to save the building from further damage. The guard room and prison were in good order. The committee further recommended the erec tion of an out-building for the purpose of storing oil, &c, and the immediate re moval of tbe oil sow stored in tbe base ment. The theatre had been leased for five years at $600 a year. No benefit had been derived from this source last year, one-half of the amount being remitted and the bal ance allowed for repairs. On motion of Alderman Yon Glahn, the report was received and ordered to be spread upon the minutes. At the suggestion of tbe Mayor, Alder man YoHers moved that the election of City Clerk and Treasurer be deferred until the first meeting in July. After considera ble debate tbe motion was carried unani mously. ' ' , A communication from tbe Board of Audit was ordered read, fixing tbe salaries of the city officials as follows Mayor. ,. . . .vi$?T?r.--$i8ov-&' Chief of Police.. . 1,800 oo Captain of Police 600 00 Sergeant 480 00 Privates 420 00 Clerk of the Market 360 00 Janitors 860 00 Citv Attorney 800 00 Chief of Fire Denartment 300 00 Messenger 240 00 City Clerk and Treasurer 2,400 00 the latter to be divided between tbe Clerk and Deputy in such proportion as the Board deemed best The communication was, on motion of Alderman Foster, received and ordered to be filed. The clerk was then directed by the Mayor to read the applications which bad been received for the position of Chief of Police. There were thirteen applicants for the position. Alderman Planner moved to go into an election for a Chief of Police. Carried. Alderman Hill urged the election of Geo, W. Price, Jr., colored. The Mayor appointed Aldermen Myers and VonGlahn as tellers. The tellers announced as the result of the) first ballot: John D. Taylor, 3 ; George W. Price, Jr., 4; John Cowan, 2; H. C. Brock, 1. No one having - received a majority, the Chair announced tbat there was no elec tion, and directed tbat another ballot be taken. The result of the second ballot was H. C. Brock, 3 ; George W. Price, Jr., 4 ; John D. Taylor, 2; John Cowan, 1. No election. Third Ballot John Cowan, 1; J. H. Al len, 1; H. C. Brock, 2 ; John D. Taylor, 2; George W. Price, 4. No election. Alderman Foster moved that a recess of ten minutes be taken. Carried. Promptly at the expiration of the ten minutes the Board reassembled, and the tellers proceeded to collect and count the votes of ballot four, with the following re sult: H. C. Brock, 4; Geo. W. Price, Jr., 4; Jno. D. Taylor, 1; and Jno. Cowan, 1 No election. Fifth Ballot : H. C. Brock, 4; Jno. D. Taylor, lj Geo. W. Price, Jr., 4; and H CiBrock, 1. No election. The result of the next ballot as an nounced by the clerk was: Geo. W. Price, Jr., 5; H C. Brock, 4; Blank, 1. Aldermen Hill and Foster contended that Geo. W. Price, Jr., by the announced result, should be declared elected. Aldermen Myers and Flanner took the view that there had been no election. Alderman Yollers stated that the blank vote had been put in by him through mis take and asked to be allowed to correct it. After some discussion, It was agreed that the ballot be stricken out, the supporters of Price knowing that it would be useless to contend longer, as a majority of tbe Board were against them, and even though j their candidate might be declared elected, u wa8 very for majority to remove ' nim and elect another. Star Sixth Ballot: H. C. Brock, 5; Jno. D. Taylor, 2; Jno. Cowan, 1; Geo. W. Price, 2. No election. Seventh Ballot :H. C. Brock, 6; Jno. Cowan, 2; and Geo. W. Price, Jr., 2. Mr. Brock having received a majority of the votes was declared elected. Mr. Brock, being called upon by the Mayor, thanked the Aldermen for his elec tion, and promised his best . endeavors towards filling the position satisfac torily to the Mayor, Board of Aldermen, and citizens generally. The Mayor appointed Aldermen Flanner, Yollers and Hill a committee to examine the applications for positions on the police force, and to recommend as to the number and names for the night and day squads. Aldermen Bowden, Myers and Lowery were appointed a committee to examine the applications for Clerk of the Market, Janitors, Messengers, &c, and recommend suitable parties for the different positions. On motion, tbe Board then adjourned. Probable Fatal Accident. Yesterday evening, about 6 o'clock, a colored man by the name of Monroe, who has been in the employ of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Bailroad as an oiler and packer for the last four or five years, was On the train going out, and in tending, as was his usual custom every af ternoon, to jump off at Sixth street and go to bis home north of the railroad. Arriv ing at the proper point be jumped to the ground, retaining his hold upon the railing, and, the train having attained considerable speed at tbe time, was unfortunately ierked prostrate on the track, the wheels of two cars passing over both of his legs below the knees and severing them almost from the body, crushing the bones in a horrible man ner. The sufferer was taken to his home and physician sent for. Monroe is a man of about middle age. Since writing the above we learn tbat tbe name of tbe sufferer is Monroe John son, and that he was immediately sent to tbe Hospital, where both legs were ampu tated by Dr. Lane, assisted by Dr. Walker. At last accounts tbe man was in excellent spirits and doing as well as conld be ex pected. f Criminal Court. The following cases were disposed of by this Court yesterday : In the case of Charles Southerland, charged with forgery, tried Wednesday, the jury returned a verdict of guilty yester day morning, just before Court met.

The following cases were disposed of by Mayor Dawson yesterday morning: Wesley Mitchell and Melvina Mitchell alias Williams, colored, charged with curs ing and swearing, &c, on Wednesday night, in the neighborhood of Fifth and Castle streets, were ordered to pay a fine of $10 each, or be confined in a cell on bread and water. The former gave security for the payment of tbe fine and was released. Phil lis Moore, colored, an old offender, was arraigned on the charge of disorderly conduct in Brooklyn, on Wednesday night, and ordered to confinement in a cell on bread and water. Committed on the Charge of Receiv ing Stolen Goods. Lucy Nixon, wife of Richard T. Nixon, now in jail on the charge of being impli cated in the recent robberies, and who will be remembered as the woman who was de tected in the act of peddling the chickens of ex-Mayor Canaday, by his hired man West (who, by the way, deserves a share in the credit for the great unearthing which has been going on among the thieves), was committed to jail yesterday, in default of a justified bond in the sum of $500, on the charge of receiving stolen goods, knowing them to have been stolen, a warrant hav ing been issued by Justice Gardner, on the affidavit of Mr. S. W. Nobles, for the wo man's arrest. Polsonons Berries. A little child, about 8 years old, died in Petersburg on Tuesday from eating poison ous berries. The berries that were eaten, the Index-Appeal says, resemble very closely the wild strawberry, and were taken to be such by tbe child. The vine has all the appearance of the strawberry vine, and the resemblance of the fruit is so close that children and even grown persons are likely to be deceived by it. There are many such berries growing in this vicinity, and we mention this fact in order that children may be cautioned from eating them and being made sick thereby. The Whiting les. The ladies met at the Library Hall last evening at 5, o'clock, to devise a plan to raise funds for uniforming the Whiting Rifles, but in consequence of the small number in attendance, the meeting ad journed to some evening to be hereafter announced. It ia hoped that there will be a full attendance at that tune. , It is praiseworthy object, and we know the m - r ladies will do their part. WHOLE NO. 3,070 New Sensation Discovery of the Body of a Newly Born Infant In sin Alley. On Wednesday night, about half-past 10 o'clock, a colored man by tbe name of Foy, living in what is known as Sellars' alley, between Chestnut and Mulberry and Fifth and Sixth streets, was on his way home when he discovered something white lying upon the ground in the alley afore said, and but a short distance from his own gate. Thinking it was a newspaper or something of the sort, he stopped and picked the parcel up, and as he did so something slid from it to the ground. He called to his wife to bring him a light, and when she did so he discovered that tbe ob ject tbat bad fallen from the parcel was tbe dead body of a newly-born male mu latto infant, apparently about two days old, which had been wrapped in a piece of white cloth. Foy immediately lodged information of the discovery at the station house and a policeman was sent to take charge of the body until morning, when Coroner Hewlett was notified. An inquest was commenced about 8 o'clock, but no information could be elicited be yond the simple fact that no evidence of violence was perceptible about the body, the jury returning a verdict that the infant came to its death from some cause to them unknown. The discovery of the body created quite a sensation among tbe colored people for awhile. Opinion In an Important Insurance Case A New Trial Granted. The insurance case of Brink vs. The Un derwriter's Agency of Insurance, of the city of New York, has just been decided against the plaintiff , CoL . R. Brink, of this city. It will be remembered that Col. Brink was merchandising at Lexington, . Davidson county, in this State, when the property was destroyed by fire which gave rise to this suit for the recovery of the insurance. This case has been prosecuted through all the branches of the Supreme Court of New York at a heavy expense, judgment having been rendered by a jury in favor of the plaintiff three different times. About twelve years bas been consumed in tbe case, tbe expressed object of the companies, as we are informed, being to force the plaintiff to a compromise. The amount involved is $33,000, which must fall heavy upon tbe plaintiff, Col. Brink, when the amount of costs, fees, &c, are taken into considera tion, provided the present aspect of the case should be maintained. The Court, how ever, granted a new trial, which, we un derstand, will be accepted and prosecuted with vigor, and, we hope, with ultimate success. This case was argued in tbe Court of Ap peals March 27th, and the opinion, as above set forth, has just been handed down. pnilomathean Literary society. We are pleased to learn that the Hon, Geo. Davis has consented to deliver his address on the "Early Times and Men of the Cape Fear," before the Pnilomathean Literary Society on Wednesday evening next, June 13th. We congratulate the members of the Society and the public on Mr. Davis' acceptance, and feel assured that there will be a large audience present to greet our distinguished citizen on that occasion. , Thermometer Record.
