A terrible accident happened in New burgh Bay last night by which two lives were lost. The steamer James W. Bald win, o f the Kingston line, ran down a small steam pleasure launch just after leaving the landing there and cut it in There were eight persons on the launch: Harvey and Joseph Kose, the owners, and six ladies. Two o f the latter, Mrs. Ben jamin B. Odell, jr., wife of the Republi can State Committeeman of this district, and Miss Annie Miller, daughter of Cap tain David Miller, of Newburgh, were drowned. Miss Rose, sister o f the owners, Miss Clara Odell, daughter of Mayor Odell and sister-in-law of Mrs. B, B. O d ^ , jr ., a n i e c e o f M a y o r O d e ll an d an other lady were saved by the officers of the Baldwin, who threw out ropes and lowered their boats. The accident occurred off Sherman’s whar:^ only a short distance from shore. The owners of the launch claim to have bad out the necessary light, and were hug ging the western shore to keep out o f the Baldwin’s track. The steamer is said to have followed the same course, and be fore the little craft could turn aside the crash occurred. As the Baldwin struck the launch some o f the ladies jumped into the water. There was great consterna tion, and it had become so dark that it was impossible to save all of them, D I E D O F O DD A G E . T l ie D e a t li o f M r s .

W a s h in g t o n , June 26.—The family of General Harrison are pleasantly remem bered in Washington from their six winters’ residence here during his recent senatorial term. The first winter they boarded at the Riggs House, and there their only son, Russell, in visiting his parents and sister, met his future life-partner in the person of Mias Mamie Saunders, a young blonde beauty, the only child of the then senior Senator from Nebraska, who was just home from boarding school. Some three years later they were married, and are now residing in Helena, Mont. They have a baby daughter a few months old. Miss Mary Harrison, the General’s only dau g h t e r , married Mr. James Kobeit McKee, a young merchant of Indianapo lis, shortly after the marriage of her brother, and a little son born to them last year bears the name Benjamin Harrison McKee. Miss Harrison was one of the most popular girls in Washington society. Her fair young face will grace the White House not less effectively than that of its present bonny mistress, while her mother Mrs. Harrison, the comely wife of the General, will he near and precious to every patriotic American heart, as a rep resentative soldier’s wife. There was a certain solemn and awful day in her history In 1863, when Presi dent Lincoln had called for “ 300,000 more,” and her young husband, who had but shortly returned from a three months’ service at the front, was called into the office of the great W9 r governor, Oliver P. Merton, who saw him passing by, and said to him : ‘ Ben, these are discourag ing days. I don’t know what we are go ing to do with so many treasonable ele ments to contend with in our state. En listments are flagging.” Slowly and tentatively he continued: “ Gould you raise a company and go out at its head to stimulate others by your example ?” The young man did not hastily promise, but walked thoughtfully homeward into the presence of his wife, hugged his little girl and boy with more than usual tender ness and said: “ Carrie, the Governor wants me to go back to the front. Can’t you and the babies get along without me for a little while again ?” Mrs. Harrison, like the patriot woman she was, said, with a blanched face and a choking voice; “ Yes, Ben, we will try to get along somehow if the country needs you.” This is all he waited for and soon the 70th Indiana Regiment was formed with Benjamin Harrison as its colonel. Mrs. Harrison is a daughter o f Rev. John Witherspoon Scott, long time pro fessor at Washington College, Pennsyl vania, and previously at Miami Univers ity, Oxford, Ohio, and at College Hill, Cincinnati, at which last named place his daughter first met General Harrison when he was a student there. Mrs, Harrsion's mother was the beautiful Mary Neal, daughter of John Neal, of English birth, cashier of the Kensington Bank, and af terward! of the Bank of iloyamensing. I liave seen a portrait of her painted by one of the Peales, which rivals in its patrician beauty any of the portraits of Philadel phia belles given in Charlotte Adams’ fascinating articles in the April and May numbers of the Amerieiv Magazine for this year.

General Harrison’s Immense Mail. C a liforn ia A ll B i g h t , The populace of Indianapolis who have been blowing tin horns, exploding giant fire crackers, firing off cannon and other wise manifesting their joy for forty-eight Iiours over the nomination of Benjamin Harrison for President, had their enthu siasm somewhat checked Wednesday by a heavy rain storm. The city was never so shaken with popular emotion as it was on Monday and Tuesday. Democratic politicians who had been saying that General Harrison was a cold man and not popular among his neighbors were quickly shown “to]|;have misrepresented him and the^community’s feeling toward him. The Republican friends of General Har rison, although they knew he was highly regarded in Indianapolis, were astonished at the extent of the devotion and kindly feeling displayed toward him. It seemed as if every voter in Indianapolis intended to vote for him. The rain storm prevented many persons from visiting General Harrison and he had a little time to examine the 2,000 telegrams and the 500 letters that have come to him since his nominatin. One of unusual significance was the following from W. D, Borucks, chairman of the State Central Committee of California; he largest meeting ever held in this he Republican party last eveningvening enthusiastically ratified your noi e your nomi nation as our candidate for President, and gave every assurance that the electc vote of California will be cast for Harrii and Morton. ; ,This does not indicate much anti-Chin- 2 se feeling, so tar as Harrison is concerned in California. All visitors are received at the Harrison mansion in truly democratic fashion. A servant girl admits the visitor at once to the parlor. General Harrison’s manner is unconstrained but his ^od e a ty is apparent in his avoidance of all reference to his own candidacy. Visitors who should see him for the first time would see a man below the medium height, rather thick set with a large head set upon athletic shoulders, an open, frank, countenance, blue eyes, yellowish gray hair and beard,fine white teeth and a high Messengers were constantly arriving at the house bringing telegraphic messages and a postman came and delivered about 200 letters. To-day it was expected General H a m - son would go to Danville to attend a cele bration by men who voted for John C. Fremont, an invitation which he accepted S’.veral weeks ago. The Tippecanoe Club, composed of men who voted for General Harrison’s grandfather, will ac company him on the trip. M I D D L E T O W N TO B E F U L Y E R I Z E D .

M ast H opb , Pa., June25.—About noon, May 28, a party came to the depot at Colusa, Cal., to bid good-bye to friends, just starting for their eastern homes. In a short time the train left the station and we were traveling towards Sacramento. After a 45 minutes stop at that city the train for Lathrop was taken. Again at midnight another train was taken for Mojave and from thence to San Buena Ventura, which place,was reached about 8 o’clock Tuesday evening. Here we were much pleased to see the smiling countenance of Mr. A, Hankins. Remaining at Ventura all night we were ready the following morning for a fine drive of thirteen miles along the Pacific coast to Hueneme, where we stopped at the Sea Side Hotel. Hueneme is a pleas* ant little town, containing many friendly inhabitants. The week was passed in strolling along the coast, carriage riding, sailing on the slough and “ gathering shells from the sea shore. ” Saturday we saw some artesian wells ; in the evening several of Hueneme’s fair young people collected together and went to the Hue neme Point lighthouse. The keeper, who is an old gentleman, allowed us to climb the stairs to the top of the building, where we could view the lamp, which casts its friendly rays 18 miles upon the ocean. Sunday we were obliged to again say good-bye, this time to friends and pleasant acquaintances made at Hueneme. Ar riving at Ventura we took a drive through the quaint old town. It contains many adobe houses and one Mission church, Catholic, 150 years old. There was also an adobe building, but it now has a concrete covering to preserve the old. Some of the people of Vent'ura had en joyed themselves, the day before, witness ing a bull fig'nt; in this instance the man came out victorious and placed a bouquet in the forehead of the bull. At 6 o’clock that evening we took the train and after making changes at NaYyhall and Mojave were on the main line of the A. & P. road at 6 o’clock the following morning. People traveling on the A. So P. road will find the eating saloons first class and plenty of time given for meals. We traveled nearly all day through the Mojave desert. Soon after taking sup- per at the Needles, we crossed the Col- orada river, which is rough and muddy at' this place. The next morning the Ari zona desert was crossed and soon after were agreeably surprised to see green grass and lofty trees. This route is said to be more pleasant to travel this season o f the year than the Central, as it is free from dust and alkali which causes sore lips. During the forenoon we crossed Patrick’s canon and .later Canon Diablo. This canon is 235 feet deep and extends several hundred miles back to the mountains. Its sides, apparently, have been hewn out of the solid rock..' Many Indians were seen during the day, especially near the Navajo reservation. The rocks here for many miles are very peculiar and are interesting to observe. The Navajo church which is rock, resembling a church, with three steeples, can plainly be seen. A sign board tells one when Arizona is left and New Mexico is entered and after riding several hours, another board bearing the words “ Continental Divide” shows where the waters of the Pacific are separated from those o f the Atlantic.

The Senate chamber in this building is claimed by the inhabitants of Topeka, to be the finest west of the Mississippi. Friends at this place, as at all other places visited, made oar stay very pleasant, but Sunday at 1 p. m. we left them and crossed the Missouri that night at 7 o’clock, just after leaving Kansas City, and the next morning at Davenport, crossed the Miss issippi. Left Chicago at 3 o’clock and arrived at Newark Valley at 6 p. m. the following day. After a week’s stay at this finely shaded village, we came to Bing hamton and Wednesday, June 20th, ar rived at the very small town of Mast Hope.
