At Least ElctDt Uvea Lot-A Hundred Feraona In PeirtI Aecldent Caused In Part by a FoH-Tne Passengera Res- cued by1 a Towboat, Cincinnati, O., March 8. The hand some Cincinnati and New Orleans packet Longfellow went to the bottom ofthe Ohio river at seven o'clock this morning:. Eight or more persons went down with ber. She sank in 30 tret of water opposite the Martnet Coal tank at the foot of Smith street after striking the channel pier of the Chesapeake bridge, and went down in three miontes. There were over 100 people on board the boat. The pilot in charge say tbe fog waa so dense that he was unable to discern the pitr and was not aware of its proximity. The steamer was. literally crushed to pieces immediately following the col lision, and the bow of the boat sank, while the cabin and stern floattd away. The body of James Miller has been found Tbe missing are- C'ptain John L Car ter of Newport, Kv.j David Aldridge, passenger, Home, N. i ; una smevan, barkeeper, Mew linear s; anise kusscu, deckhand, Cincinnati; D. Reardon. deck hand, Cincinnati; an unknown woman, an invalid from New York and ber ohy sician, Dr Anderson, also of New York. The real case of the accident, it was said, was that boat was aowwldy. that she became unmanageable and the pilots were powerless to control ber. The boat was to leave hire lor New Orleans Inst night, but was prevented on account ofthe dense tog. The river men sav the fog was even greater this morn ing and the boat should never have left It was decided, however, by the man ager of the White Collar line, which owns the Longfellow to send the boat out, and the tow boat Hercules Carrell waa sent out to aid bir in passing oeiow the bridges. The Carrell was secured to the stern ot the Longwow, ana doid boats passed down the river to a point ahout 50 vrd above the Chesapeake aud Ohio b'idge, where the Longlello became entirely unmanageable. Tie watchers on the shore say the boat's bow was pointed directly for the Ken tucky shore, and when fully 50 yards distant it was seen that the collision was inevitable. The barren swung around and the strain almost caused the hawsers to part, but they held lust for the lime being. an it was thought for a moment the collision could be avoided but a moment later it beca ue apparent she would strike. , Many ol the passengers were in their staterooms. The Shrill blaats of tbe whistles on botb the Carrell and the Loogtellow were the first warnings of any danger, and the doors of the state rooms were hurriedly thrown open while the passengers gathered on the tront part of the cabin deck. The fog was so dense that they could see nothing and few of them were aware ol actual danger. The officers were cool and col .nH retained their presence of mind,' for the most pait, even in the face ot imminent danger, lbe crew were summoned in front ofthe boiler deck and preparations weierapuiiy msuc iur ir moving the passengers, many of whom were ladies, to the Carrell, which was still mooted alongside. All this occupied but a fraction of time between the moment when it was first seen that the boat would strike and tht actual collision. The sonnd, when the boat struck, could be heard for several squares along the riverfront, and sound ed as if the walls of a great budding had fallen. A moment later the river was black with floating wreckage and treigbt. The passengers had escaped to the .Car rell and when the collision occurred the hawsers broke, while the Carrell drifted to the Kentucky side of the pier. The wreck sank quickly and three itiuute later scarcely a vestige remained.

The annual meeting of the directors of the State Hospital was held at Morgan ton Wednesday, with President Sawyer and Messrs. Davis, Harper, Mills and Caldwell present. Cap-. Jas r.

' There are 550 patients present. They arernjoving good health, and the con dition of the hospital it first class in every respect." JACKSONVILLE TO A8UEVILLE. An Improvement In the Schedule Will Be Made onthg. 1 Ttn. An Important change or rather addi tion, in the schedule on the Southern railway between Asheville and the South will occur shortly. This morning Col. W. A. Turk, general passenger agent of the Southern, telegraphed to E. P. Mc Kissick as follows from Atlanta : "Your wire the 7th f irwarded to me here. We will put on sleeping cars be tween Jacksonville and Asheville, com mencing Match 17. Trains will leave Jacksonville in the evening and reach Asheville tne next morning aoouc i o'clock." This will be, perhaps, the best schedule from Florida that has ever been offered the people who will come to Asheville from those districts. It will be the means ol bringing hundreds of people to Asheville who would have, under less favorable transportation facilities, gone home without visiting the greatest pleasure and health resort in the South.

One is tbat the sisters will have nothing I LV V. V ,.. IU.II W.ffcUV. v.niiv. of their father's will, and another is that two of the trustees will neither resign nor permit the sisters to have any voice in the management of their father's million. Tbe decision of Mrs. Oeliicbs and Miss Birdie Fair not to take any hand in the contest is the result ot tbe advice ot the lawyers. T clatter fear that the close relations between their clients and tbe brother will bring on their heads the disinheriting clause under the old Roman law, which declares tbat what one does through the other is done as by bimsell. Judging by this law the sisters, though giving no otien aid to Charles, would be guilty of collusion. Chas. A. Dana Indloted. Washington, March" 8.
