Fromthis it appears that there is no immediateprospect for the crossings being put in.They will have to bo made , sent hero andthen laid , which will take .soiuu little timeyet. The public is getting out of patiencewith the delays , apparently unnecessary ,which are attending the construction ofthis lino.

) of The Disaster ,3 Coroner Faul yesterday Impanelled theury to inquire In the Lake Manawa dls-

istcr.-

. The place of holding the inquestwas the court room , in the Masonic build-ng.

-

. The jury consisted of P. 0. DoVol ,

J. C. IJoilaven and A. C. Graham. Thecounty attorney , Colonel Dally , con-

ducted¬

the investigation , questioning thewitnesses ;* , and the coroner sat quietlyby , his only duty being apparently toswear the witnesses.-

Sol..

. 11. Foster , of the Council Hindslaint , oil and glass company , testified :

on steamer Manawa whun she wentlown. Mv watch was stopped by thewater at 10:15: o'clock. Before wo loft.ho wharf someone asked the captainlow 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 sternif boat back against dock ; I heard tim-bers

¬

crack ; some one said it was thewheel-house that broke ; my belief is. a-

liole was knocked into stern of boat instriking dock. Bow of boat was to thewest when it was at dock ; the stern wastoward 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 boatexcept adults , all men. Everything to-

me was quiet and ordurly. It showed to-

te mo very plainly that the water cameinto the stern of the boat , and when theorder logo forward came they rushed tothe bow and it sank. The waves didnot wasli over the bow. I don'tthink the boat was overloaded ,

when the bow went down I jumped into: ho water and swam ; went back and gotlolil of Hag staff ; four or five men weren the water ; balance were holding on to-ho boat. Some swam toward the boatlouses on the beach. It took all my

: imo to look after myself. Boat Is firedfrom the bow ; don't know anvtlnng-xbout the people in charge. GeorgeMotcalf , F. J. Dav , Charlie Ferson andmyself sat in the bow under Metoalf'sumbrella , facing lire box. First noticeilwater in pit near fire box with scum on-t ; apparently fresh water. Less thanive seconds it was putting out lire. Some-

one said to get to the front , uid shewont down in an instant , bow first.-

H.

, L. Shepard. clerk for Benson &Mayne , stated that in his opinion thecrowd rushing to onu end was the im-

nediato-

cause of the disaster , lie hadivoided the steamer Manawa heretoforethinking it unsafe , but as she had beenchanged to a side whcolor r'ocently ,.bought she was now all right. Every ¬

body behaved in an orderly manner. Itwas raining very hard. Shepard al firstMaimed to have been in the stern of theloat , but when his attention was calledo facing the tire box ho concluded it was

the bow instead.-F.

.. J. Day , real estate broker. Colonel

Oaily asked witness if ho could throwmy additional light on the .subject. Hosaid , "as I sat down , on going on board ,[ found a brace and auger bit onthe seat. I asked if there wereany life preservers on board andunderstood there were , but couldfind none , as I put my hand under theseat. Before wo got on board ono of thedeck-hands said they could carry safelyten more passengers. Metcalf , Fosler-uid myself were the first , 1 think , to dis-cover

¬

the water going into the fire-box. Ithink it was the whcelhouso that struckthe dock before we left ; was sitting rightby it. Some suggestions were madeabout it. but a boat-hand said it was allright. I think the boat drifted after itwent tlown. I stood on top of the awningwith water up to luy breast. Water didnot wash over the bow at all. I sawthree men jump and leave boat. It wassuggested that some good swimmer go tonotify those on tlic beach , and 1 thinktwo loft with llfu preservers.

Harry 11. Ininnn testified as to beingan auctioneer. Ilu said. "I was wet andcold and was standing by the engine get-ting

¬

warm as wo left the dock. 1 noticedin particular the engineer seemed to havetrouble in getting started. Didn't knowof boat striking dock. 1 was standingwhere they put coal in the furnace , fac-ing

¬

ttie boiler. Saw the water but don'tknow how it got in. 1 must have been inbow of boat. Everybody seemed quieton board. I know the waves were nothigh. "

Eli Thomas testified : "Iheld the wheelduring the accident. I had piloted her anumber of times , but not since theychanged her to a sido-whcoler. Haveknown her since September last. Shewas on the beach out of the water withprobably ton inches of water in her. Dur-ing

¬

the winter the water in her.Saw her in the spring. They put a nowhull over the outside of the old ono. Theoriginal hull was of cottonwood ; they puton a false set of ribs over old hull clearto deck , leaving a space of four inchesbetween the two hulls. The old bottomwas not touched , the repairs being onlyon the sides. The new casing was ofinch pine lumber. She was a stern pad-dle

¬

wheeler until four or five days ago. Iknow she sank one time. In Juno thewind blow her onto shore. Later shesank. 1 helped raise her at the hoteldock , where she sank in four and a halffeet of water. Didn't stay to see if shehad a hole in her. She "mado her firsttrip the night before she sank after chang ¬

ing the wheel. llavu had noexperience in piloting. Her captain isher regular pilot. The captain was atthe engine and I was at the pilot duringthe accident. The engineer was sick. 1helped push her away from the dock.Corner of wheel caught dock. I don'tthink wheel was damaged but won'tswear it wasn't. 1 suppose 1 should haveexamined it. 1 didn't want to leave thedock as the storm was very heavy. I-

wasn't anxious to leave , but was confi-dent

¬

we could make the trip. The portwheel caught dock. We went down thelaku ; shouted to captain to stop wheelsas I tried to turn her. Asked three orfour 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 stopthe wheels. " She then instantly wentdown bow first. I held onto the tilleruntil the bow struck bottom. Thu sternthen sank and I still hold on to the tilleruntil 1 was in water to my shoulders.The steamer Manawa now lies withsome water in her upon the beach , wherethey looked to find If any bodies werestill 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 tosixty 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 steamerManawa. He said his previous businesswas farming and bo had been baling hayfour years proviolis ' to last spring.-Steamur

.

Manawa was a stern-wheeler up. to last Monday , "1 did most of the workmyself. She was , finished Wednesdayevening 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 wastwenty-nino foot long , seven feet wideand was built for a steamer ! the manbuilding it calculating to goto Florida oni-t. . Part of the old machinery is-

n) it. She I.is) a sovcn-liorso power boi-ler

¬

, only change I've made was thewidening of the boat thteo feet by put-ting

¬

on now sides over old .sides. Thetop was left open a distance of eighteeninches in center of boat. "

Colonel Dally hero tried to got him toexplain it ho didn't think this a danger-ous

¬

way to leave it.-

Ho.

admitted if water gel in betweenthese at the top on one side that it wouldbo apt to tip the boat. Ho stated thatthere was no way to got the water outafter it got in between these two bulls ,[ixcopt to pump it out by putting a pumpin between. The only experience hohad in running a steam en-gine

¬

was In running da haypress engine. "That evening my en-gineer

¬

was sick ; I was engineer thatnight. Thomas was pilot that night. 1

was attending the engine and was on theboat when she ieft the dock. 1 knew shestruck the dock before we left. 1 don'tknow If any damage was done or not-.Didn't

.

examine it at all. Ham was com-ing

¬

from thu northwest and the crowdkept well over to the .southeast comer inthe storn. At the time the boat wassinking I heard the pilot say to jcml thecrowd forward. I shut oil' steam to re-verse

-

the engine , intending to try to start-up for the beach. Wo aimedto run north to the willowsand run to the hotel landingnuder the lea of the willows. The onlyway 1 can account for the sinking wason account of the crowd getting on theside. About sixteen inches of waterwould be required in the bottom of theboat to put tlic lire out. An ordinary loadwould bo forty or fifty people ; wo hadsixty on the trip before that. Wo hadabout twenty-live to thirty on it on thattrip. Thu reason she sank in Juno wasin auger hole throe-quarters of an inchin the bottom of the hull. After she wontdown 1 swam to shore for help. 1 wasalong side of Mr. Inman , near the centerof the boat. "

Alderman George Motcalf , of Motcalf-Bros. . , testified : "Was on the Manawawhen she sank. Nearly all the .scatswere filled , and probably 23 persons wereon it. Our party sat in the bow near the3enter of the boat. Wo noticed water inthe nit. Some one said she was sinking ,

and immediately she began to sink ; inlive seconds she was on the bottom.About eight or ten were forward of thecenter. 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 ontop of the canvas. Ferson wonttoward the island. I didlot know Newman or Cartwright.Those on the boat were all quiet andorderly. I know nothing of the boatstriking the dock. 1 thought the storm a-

ightone , more of a mist than a rain , atthat time , and didn't consider it a dan-gerous

¬

night at all. "Joseph Gaglagan , engineer of the

of the Lake , testified1 : "Am engi-neer

¬

; been on Lake Manawa four weeks ;

nspected the machinery on the Manawaand 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 iswould bo liable to tip it , but if the samelamount of water was in botli sides In tlicchambers she would balance. "

After taking the above testimony thejury , accompanied by the coroner andcounty attorney , with tlic reporters , pro-ceeded

¬

In carnages to the lake. Uponirrival at the beach the ill-fated steamerManawa was found to bo lying on theground about thirty feel out in the water ,where she had been towed by the steamerLady of the Lake on Friday. TaylorWolsey and Huben Bryant had justsearched the Mr.nawa for any bodiesthat might have remained in-tier. . They thinking possibly the Hicoboy , reported missing , might bo in thesteamer.

The object of the jury's visit was to ex-amine

¬

the bottom of the steamer and tosee if she had been scuttled , but in thatposition it was impossible to make anyexamination at all. It was then deter-mined

¬

to haul her up onto the beach buthow to do this was an important questionto solve. They finally procured ropesand all hands , including the jury , beganto pull away , but she gave way veryreluctantly and only moved inch by inch.Many of the boatmen on the lake lenttheir assistance , increasing the numberat the ropes to about forty.

The boat was bailed out finally aftershe was pulled to within fifteen feet ofthe shorn , the chambers between the twohulls still contained water. She lloatedfor an hour or so , which wont to showthat 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 thewreck will bo examined Monday.

The House * or Mournlnc.The funeral of Charles Ferson will

probably bo held Tuesday morning. Inresponse to a telegram sent to his rela-tives

¬

in Massachusetts Information hasbeen received that his brother is on theway hero , and is expected to arrive Mon ¬

day. His parents are quite aged , andthey will probably not be able to under-take

¬

the sad journey. The blow to hidwife has boon a terrible one. She wasrecovering somewhat from the shock yes-

terday , but is still confined to her bod.The tendorest sympathy is felt throughoutthe community , and she h receiving themoso careful attention. Her stop-father ,

Judge Casady , is quite ill , his healthhaving been poorly for some time. Mrs-.Casady

.

finds duty drawing her in twodirections at once , her husband and herdaughter 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 forwhom ho was'at work , accompanied theremains.

The Illco Boy-.No

.tidings have been had of the Rico

boy and many suppose that ho was lostin tha wreck. The boy is ono who isinclined to roam about , and has no veryfixed habitationso he may bo all right yet.-

Ho.

had been out in the country workingfor some one , and came into the city thenight before the disaster. Late thatnight ho appeared at the police station ,and as ho was well acquainted with theofficers , they allowed him to remainthere. Ho was just in time to sharein their midnight lunch , and whena ked why he didn't go to his brother's tosleep , ho said ho was afraid his brotherwould not lot him go to the picnio at thelake the next day. Ho had 50 cents withhim and this ho was saving for the picnic.-Ho

.

had a ticket good for ono trip on theManawa. Ho slept in the station thatnight , and it is supposed wont to thelake the next day as intended. Thehabits of the boy wore such as raisegrave doubts about his being in thewreck , for ho may have taken a notionto 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 hiscoat anil vest , in the wreck. Mr. Snod-grass found them and Joft them at policeheadquarters , whore they were idonti.l-ied.

-

. .: There were , very few visitors at thelake yesterday and last evening. Tne

shadow of the. disaster rests too heavilyfor the community to (jikg much pleasurethcro at present. ( ,

The Manawa was twit ) .verv well sup-plied

¬

with life preservers. There worenoiio belonging to tho7boat , but Mr-.Woolsov

.

, of the Lady1 of the Lake , lentfour. In the disaster the captain usedono of these , leaving throe for the thirtypassengers to divide among themselves.The boat had no pump to put in use in-

ca o of a leak , or water coming over thesides. The more the niattcr i.s lookedInto the more fcarfnl seems the re-sponsibility

¬

that rests upon the man whowould 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 severalsensational occurrences in the place. Histrouble was with W. B. Cuppy , of whomlie rents sixty acres of land about a milecast of town , and near where Cuppyl-ives. . The statement of the affair asgiven by Mr. Friol is that on Wednesdayevening , between 8 and 9 o'clock , ho waspreparing to drive homo with the lastload of barley , which they had beenthrashing that day. The barley bad beendivided at the machine , Mr. Cuppy re-

ceiving¬

one-third. With Mr. Fricl washis boy , a lad of fifteen. Theboy was'opening the gate , and Friol wasdriving through when Cuppy appearedon the"scone , and in a rage. Ho seizedthe horses and backed them into theyard , swearing a bin swear that Friclshould not take the barlov off the place.-As

.

a man named Desmond had made thedivision at the machine , Friel felt that hohad only what belonged to him , and in-

sisted¬

on taking it. High words ensued.-Friol

.

was sitting on the high spring seatof the wagon , while Cuppy was standingon the ground at ( ho side of thu wagon.During the quarrel Friel says that Cuppysuddenly picked up a round piece ofwood , about three feet long , and struckhim , knocking him over backwards intothe barley. As he foil he hit him thesecond time on the side of the neck andshoulder. As Friel Jay partially overthe seat , and unconscious , the boystarted to lift him up , but Cuppy turnedon the lad and witli an oath threatenedto "knock him C9ld. "

Friol , after laying there a little while ,

recovered consciousness biilliciontly tosit up , and after some more abusivewords from Cuppy was allowed to driveout without further molestation. Thewound inflicted is about three inches inlength , across the forehead. His eye" arcentirely closed and face badly swollen-.Friel

.is much prostrated , and is unable to

take nourishment. Dr. Connauchoy , theattending physician , says there is no im-mciilato

-danger , and unless inflammation

sets in ho will bo all right. No arrestshave been made as yet. Friel is fifty-sixyears of ago , and has a family of sixchildren , lie is said to bo a quiet , in-offensive

¬

, hard working man , and thereis much sympathy felt for him in thecommunity.-
