GREELY AND HIS COMRADES. The Survivors of the Expedition Taking Their Ease at Portsmouth. A Great Demonstration To Be Given To-Day in Their Honor—Siffht-Seers Inspecting the Bear and Thetis. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 2.—The Greely relief squadron leaves for New York Tuesday sight. The Bear is ordered to Governor's Island, where the bodies of the victims of the Greely expedition will be turned over to General Hancock. This afternoon the survivors of the expedition were put under the care of the War Department, represented by Genral Hazen The survivors rest quietly here to-day and to-morrow, and on Monday a great demonstration in honor of the return of Greely will be held. The organization of the naval division, Which will be landed to participate in the ceremonies, is completed. The naval division of the parade will consist of six subdivisions, comprising naval cadets, naval apprentices, mariues, and a brigade from the North Atlantic fleet. Besides these divisions the parade will comprise military and civic organizations, fire companies, the municipal governments of Portsmouth and Newburyport, and the State authorities. Monday evening a congratulatory meeting will be held in Music Hall, at which Secretary Chandler is expected to preside. Addresses will be Inade.by Secretary Chandler,Samuel J. Randall, Senator Hale, and perhaps Commander Sohley. The programme for the ceremonies on Monday is not yet completed by the municipal authorities. Early this morning Mrs. Greely came over to the city from Admiral Wells's residence, and then took her two little daughters, who had remained during the night with their grandmother, at the Rockingham House, over to the Admiral’s to see their father. Lieutenant Greely was overcome with emotion at the sight of his little ones. At noon surgeons Gunnell and Head visited the Constitution to examine into the physical condition of the survivors of the Greely expedition. General Hazen accompanied the surgeons, and at the conclusion of the examination the Burgeons decided that the survivors were well enough to be transferred to the War Depart ment, to be carea for ashore. Secretary Chand ler directed that the men be turned over to General Hazen, who, on the advice of the surgeons, directed that the survivors be kept at the navyyard for hospital treatment ten days or a fortnight. The survivors gently protested against this, saying that they were entirely able to care tor themselves; but General Hazen firmly persisted, saying what the department was doing was for their own good. The surgeons and General Ha : sen then went to Admiral Wells's residence, where Lieutenant Greely was questioned as to his condition. He replied that he was well in every way except that be was weak. The sur geons gave it as their opinion that Greely would require great care, his condition being rather unfavorable. He has gained flesh at the rate of two or three pounds daily, but it is soft and flabby, and contains no muscular strength. The rest of the survivors have also gained flesh too rapidly, although not in so marked a degree. Lieutenant Greely asked the surgeons to per mit him to take quarters at the Rockingham House with his family, and a consultation took place' as to the advisability of permitting him to do so. It is likely, however, that the surgeons will yield to Lieutenant Greely's wishes, ut Surgeon Head. Ames or some other surgeon from the fleet will be assigned to the duty of watching over him while he is at Portsmouth, or until other arrangements are made by General Hazen.

The employes of the navy-yard and cadets were drawn up in line before Admiral Wells's residence at the navy-yard this morning, and were permitted to catch a glimpse of Lieutenant Greely as he walked from the house to a settee tinder the trees on the lawn. Greely is not permitted to talk with visitors, and reporters are not allowed to interview him. He is so weak that everything, must be done to avoid taxing his strength, and he is now being dieted on malt food. The object of retaining the survivors so long under military surveillance and medical care is that they may gradually have their muscles hardened, and their strength made genuine, instead of fictitious, as the surgeons think it is at present. Lieutenant Greely sat under the trees on the lawn for an hour with his wife, mother, and children around him, while he conversed with General Hazen. He was gazed on with great interest by the vast crowd around the house. To a reporter Greely stated that he was feeling better than at any time since his rescue, ‘'and, said he, “I am just about as happy as an}’ man could be possibly, the only drawback being the memory of the seventeen who are not here to enjoy the fruits of the ir courage and devotion.” Sergeant Brainard, in conversation with the reporter, said the party did not suffer much on the journey down from Lady Franklin bay, there having been but little inconvenience from cold. * a "It was when we began to starve that we began to suffer,” said he. When the reporter asked him if the Greely party could have gone still further north than they did Sergeant Brainard replied that it would' have been very difficult. "A ship.” he said, “certainly could not have gone further north. The ice would open and close so rapidly that the vessel would surely have been nipped and crushed had a passage further north been attempted. The same ice conditions,” he said, ‘‘would prevent sledging northward, because where ice was opening so often, it would have been of great danger to life.” When asked as to his opinions whether future arctic expeditions would succeed in finding the North pole. Sergeant Brainard said he did not believe this would be accomplished. “Nor do I believe,” he said, “that, any explorer will ever reach a higher latitude than the Greely expedition did.” Sergeant Brainard also stated that the crew were comfortably situated while at Lady Franklin bay. There were plenty of provisions, coal and everything else there that was needed. When asked if the entire party would have leached home safely if provisions had been landed at Cape Sabine by one of the former rescuing expeditions, he replied, smilingly: “Well, if the men who died had had enough to eat they wouldn't have starved to death. The greatest loss to the expedition was when the Eskemo died. He was able to get game food for us that we had not the strength or knowledge to get for ourselves.” When the reporter asked the survivors if they believed other expeditions would be sent to the Arctic, one and all replied: “Yes, and we are all ready to go with them, and could start to-mor-row if nece.aary.” All of them look strong and hearty. The remains of Sergeant Jewell, now among others in the tanks of the Bear, will be taken out Friday, when arrangements will be made for their delivery to the * brother of the deceased. They will be treated with military honors. The remains of the other victims will’lie conveyed to New York. By courtesy of Secretary Chandler, the Thetis, Alert and Bear were thrown open to inspection, and thousands of curious sight-seers inspected the ships. Greely is, to-night, resting quietly at the residence of Admiral Wells. Surgeon Head and Secretary Chandler held a consultation late this afternoon as to the advisability of granting Lieutenant Greely's request that he be permitted to go to the hotel on shore. The surgeon decided that it would be hardly safe to permit such change, and General Hazen ordered Greely to remain quartered at the Admiral’s house. General Hazen stated this evening that he thought very likely he should permit Greely to go over to Portsmouth on Monday, to bo present at the demonstration in his honor, but probably only for a short time. He will review the parade from the steps of the Rockingham House. There are many here whose names are prominent in the history of the country, who have come here to do honor to Greely, and the demonstration on

Monday promises to be a grand affair. The ball to night was well attended by prominent naval officers and civilians. How the Survivors Put In the Time Yesterday. New Castle, N. H., Aug. 3 —“lhave not had so sound end refreshing a night’s rest for over three years," said Major Greely to Lieut. Powell, of the Signal-service Corps, and Gen. Hazen’s aid, as the latter greeted the explorer, in front of Admiral Wells’s residence, this morning. ‘‘lt makes me feel so strong and hearty that I oould almost forget my weakness.” At about 10, o’clock this morning Major and Mrs. Greely, and Admiral and Mrs. Wells drove through the navy-yard and around Kittery Point, through the city of Portsmouth, to look at the decorations which everywhere abounded. Greely was looking better than he has at any time since the rescue. There were but few parties on the streets, and the carriage returned soon to the navy-yard, without stopping anywhere. One old fellow who stood on Kittery bridge when the carriage went over recognized Greely, and, taking off his rough cap, gave three hearty cheers, which no one heard except the distinguished party themselves. Greely, in recognition politely lifted his hat. v The day was generally spent very quietly here. A great many people visited the navy-yard, and about everybody tried to get a glimpse of Greely, but no one got nearer than the picket railing which incloses the ground around the Admiral's residence. This inclosure, however, was constantly surrounded with people, who seemed content with gaping at the arctic hero as he sal on the lawn under the trees, with his family and close friends around him. Ever since early morning all sorts of yater craft have plied between the city and lower harbor, laden with visitors to the war vessels at anchor. The interest, of course, centered in the arctic fleet, and it is estimated that eight or nine thousand persons inspected the Bear, Thetis and Alert to-day. The other survivors walked about tho navyyard in the eool of the morning, and during most of the day .loqnged idly about the deck of the old Constitution. The surgeons have decided to permit Greely and his little party to participate in tp-mqrrow’s demonstration. They will leave the Admiral's residence at 10 a.m., and be taken to Portsmouth under conduct of Lieut. Powell. At ‘Portsmouth wharf, General Hazen and the surgeons will meet them, with a large taliyho coach. They will then be driven to a large speakers’ stand that has been erected in the public square, where they will remain seated during the parade. The surgeons will be constantly in attendance, and if the faintest signs of weakness are observed among the survivors the party will be cohducted immediately back to the navv-yard. To-night the entire party are apparently well and in the best of spirits. The city is absolutely packed with strangers, and the hotels have more applications for rooms than they can possibly fill. Nearly all the buildings are handsomely decorated, and it is expected to-morrow's display will be the most magnificent in the history of Portsmouth. All tho relics of the expedition were exhibited on the deck of the Thetis to-day, and were viewed by hundreds of visitors. Among them was the sledge; it is composed of two rough pieces of plank, shod with rough pieces of iron, resembling hoop-iron, joined by clumsy crossbars. Another object viewed with great interest was a bag, of reindeer skins, used by one of the party to sleep in. Greely was on deck for two hours this morning, and was introduced to five hundred visitors. He appeared weak and hesitated a little in his speech, as if from weariness. During the forenoon the forehatch of the Thetis was raised, and. the metal sarcophagi for the dead were revealed. On each, about in the middle, is a place for the name of the deceased, and near the top a beautiful arctic scene, on a plate of burnished silver. In the tank of the Bear are the bodies of the dead heroes, but no one is allowed to view the remains.

MORE details of the expedition. Prom one of the crew of the Thetis were learned a few details of the expedition yet unpublished. He said they encountered the first ice between Disco and Littleton Island, hut that the thickest was found in Mollville bay, where it was ten feet thick. At Mellville bay the first difficultv was experienced, and here use was made of torpedoes and dynamite; Neither were found to work well, and rammiug the ice produced the best results. Backing the Thetis a good distance and putting on a full head of steam, she would crash into the ice, the shock shaking her from stem to stern and rocking her masts like treeboughs. Sometimes it seemed as if the masts would come out. When all other means failed, huge ice saws, eighteen feet long, with teeth „three inches long, were used. These were rigged to winch forward and driven by steam, making three feet headway per hour. The ice at Melville bay was mainly broken by ramming, after checking their advance for ten days. High at the main of each vessel is “a crow’s nest,” where the look-out was kept. Commander Schley probably occupied that on the Shetis longer than any other man, his meals being often served to him there. Nauman, the ice pilot, was also a frequent occupant Two hours in the nest was a watch. At this great altitude above deck it was sometimes a terribly cold sentry box. After entering the regions where it was supposed Greely might'be found the heavy bass whistles were continually blown, and in the clear arctic air the thunderous sound was very weird. On the night of the rescue, a terrific gale swept the Arctic ocean, and the Thetis, though near land, keeled over again and again before the tempest. Killed at a Picnic. St. Louis, Aug. 3. —During a negro picnic near Glasgow, Mo., yesterday, two men from Moberly got into a quarrel, and when two officers interfered to preserve the peace, one of them, Tom Sophey, was shot and killed by .Harrison Mickey, one of the Moberly men. The latter was arrested, and an attempt was made to lynch him, but this was prevented by the firmness of those having the prisoner in charge. All the parties concerned are colored. Later.—A dispatch from Glasgow to-night says seventy-five to one hundred negroes went to the jail between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning and demanded the keys of- the iailor. When they were refused by that official, the door of the jail was broken in bv the mob and Harrison Mickey taken out and hanged to a tree just outside the town. . Flood Damages In Maryland. Baltimore, Aug. 2.—Charles J. Mayer, president of the Consolidated Coal Company and of the Cumberland & Pennsylvania Railroad, returned, this morning, from the raining region of Western Maryland. After inspection and estimate of the damages by the flood of the 28th ult., Mr. Mayer states that none of the mines are damaged, but bridges will probably require SIO,OOO for repairs; and the damage to his road, which was reported at $200,000, will not exceed $20,000. Individual losses of property, chiefly dwelling-houses washed away, and personal property, will be covered by SIO,OOO. The loss of life was four persons at Barton.

BBBIED IN THE REINS. Seven Persons Buried Under Palling Walls, Five of Whom Lose Their Lives. Washington, Aue. 3. —The back part of the United States Hotel building, situated on Pennsylvania avenue, a short distance west of tho Capitol, fell in without warning this evening and buried in the ruins a number of the inmates. The building has a frontage of 125 feet on the avenve and a dephth of 185 feet, the rear end opening upon the alley leading from Third to Four-and-a-half street A small portion of the rear wall wa3 the first to give way, and a general collapse of the while rear portion immediately followed, sending up a great cloud of dust A general fire alarm was sounded, which brought to the scene of disaster a number of fire engines and hook and ladder companies and a force of police. There were about forty-five persons in the hotel at the time the disaster occurred, including guests and employes, and it was impossible at first to ascertain how many were buried in the mass of debris which occupied the ground UDon which the rear portion of the building had stood. Cries and groans could be heard from the ruins, showing that all who were there imprisoned were not dead. A large force of men went to work at once, and in the course of an hour. Earnest Snooks, a boy eleven years of age, and Annie Dickson, a colored chambermaid, were taken out. Both were alive, but, badly injured. In the meantime it had been ascertained that the number of persons buried in the ruins did not probably exceed seven, viz: Mrs. Belden, wife of the proprietor, Earnest Snooks, a boy eleven years of age, son of a restaurant-keeper, next door, and five colored servants. It is feared that those who have not yet been rescued are dead. The part of the building which fell contained chiefly rooms appropriated to the use of the employes of the hotel, and it is believed that none of the guests have been either killed or injured. The United States Hotel is one of the oldest structures in the city, and it is said to have been for a long time in unsafe condition. The bookkeeper is reported to have made complaint to the Inspector of Buildings, some days ago, with regard to its condition, dangerous cracks in the walls having become visible on the outside. The portion which fell was erected about twenty-five years-ago, and was five stories in height. Mrs. Beldon, wife of the proprietor of the hotel. was rescued alive at 11:30 o’clock, after having been imprisoned four hours. She was on the first floor of the back building, and was caught in a narrow Y shaped space formed by part of the second floor resting in a slanting position against the side wall. After the firemdn and volunteers had worked two hours, digging down into debris from the surface, a force of firemen, under Captain Cronin, entered from the front of the building, against the back of which the timbers and brick had partly lodged, and, hearing groans, worked their way back, by removing timbers. They finally got near enough to see Mrs. Belden, and talk with her, and eventually to hand her some water and whisky. She was not crushed, but was held down by her clothes, and penned in by fallen timbers. Jacks were brought and the weight held up while saws and axes were used to cut a way to her At last the rescuers got close enough to cut her clothing loose, when they were enabled to extricate her. She was apparently not severely injured, but was very much exhausted, and fainted as she was carried out

TILE FIRE RECORD. Burning of a River Steamer—Passengers and Crew Landed in Safety. Newbukg, N. Y., Aug. 2. —The steamer Eagle left here this morning with twenty-five passengers and considerable freight for Albany. At 7:45 smoke and flames poured out from beneath the crank-room, flames spread with great rapidity beneath the boiler and engine-room. Streams of water turned on were unable to subdue them. The boat headed for Milton dock, and the passengers were landed before they knew of the fire. There was no alarm or confusion, the officers acting promptly, and the crew readily obeying orders. The crew succeeded in removing most of the freight. A horse burned to death. The fire soon communicated to the upper portion. The steamboat Let'evre with an excursion party came along, and towed the burning vessel to the east side of the river, where the Eagle burned to the water's edge, and the hull was beached. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the vessel was a smoking wreck, the only upper portion of the works unconsumed being the flag-staff at the bow. The Eagle was built in 1852, and was iusured for $25,000. The fire caught from the kitchen stove, below the deck. Fire on Green Mountain. Bar Harbor, Me., Aug. 2.—A fire was seen on Green mountain, this evening, which grew rapidly in volume. Fifteen minutes after the discovery a telephone message from Otter Creek reported the Mountain House was burning. It is now one mass of flames, the fire burning lower, showing the building nearly demolished. The house was built' last year. The old house that served before was left standing in its rear, and was occupied by servants. From the appearance and growth of the fire it seems to have caught in the old building and extended to the new. There are no water facilities on the mountain. A train has gone up to give assistance. The house is owned by the railway company and insured. The railway is uninjursd and will run as usual to-morrow. The new observatory can be seen intact Glass Works Burned. Pittsburg, Aug. 2.—The glass works of King, Son & Cos., on the south side, together with the furnace and packing-houses, cutting-shop, storage shed and contents, and mould-house full of valuable moulds, were totally destroyed by fire at G o'clock this morning, entailing a loss of $40,000, which is fully covered by insurance. The Are started in the furnace-house, and, it is believed, caught from the leakage of natural gaspipes, as the flames spread so quickly the entire works were in flames in ten minutes, and the building in ruins in less than an hour. Cotton Factory Destroyed. Columbia, S. C., Aug. 2.—The Saludo cotton factory, in Lexington county, was destroyed by fire. Eight thousand four hundred spindles were operated. The mill was running exclusively on yams. Loss, $150,000; insurance, $121,000. It is supposed to be incendiary. One hundred and fifty operatives are thrown out

The losses aggregate $75,000. Goods Seized by Customs Officers. Montreal, Aug. 2. —Customs officers made seizures of valuable goods imported from the United States and entered under value with the intention of defrauding the revenue, from some of the wealthiest and largest wholesale firms of Montreal. The first descent was on E. &A. Eaves, where the seizure effected will amount to $6,000. The warehouse of.Scliwabb Bros., diamond and watch importers, and Williams, Eaves and H. A. Saunders, wholesale jeweirs, were next visited, and large seizures made, the value

at present is unknown. The affair created a sensation in the jewelry trade. Other seizures are expected. It is rumored several large seizures were made out of Montreal, but nothing definite can be learned. Only a few months since A. & E. Eaves had to pay $15,000, and William Eaves $5,000 for entering goods for eighteen montlis previously under exactly similar charges. A DRAMATIC SUICIDE. Edward C. Steers Shoots Himself Before the Young Lady Who Rejected Him, Richfield Springs, N. Y., Aug. 2.— The guests and residents here were startled yesterday on learning that Edward C. Steers, a young society man, son of Schuyler B. Steers, the richest man in Louisiana, had committed suicide on the dock, all on account of the refusal of Miss Tese White to marry him. Miss White is a tall and pretty girl, twenty-one years of age, and a member of the noted Clark family of this region. The suicide was dramatic in the extreme. Today was the twenty-first birthday cf young Steers, and. inviting Wilson Curtis, a son of Judge Curtis, of Coopertown. they visited Miss White. With her ana two lady companions they went across the lake to enjoy a picnic in the grove. Mr.. Steers got into his boat with Miss White, while Curtis took the other two ladies. Steers hurried across the bay, and jumping upon the dock, helped Miss White to alight, and said: “Tese, I ask you once for all; will you marry me?" “You know I cannot.” was the reply. “Then I will shoot myself." and pulling a revolver from his pocket, he shot himself under his right eye. the bail passing out of the top of the skull, death being instantaneous. The young lady rushed up to Hyde Hall for help, and Curtis jurnped upon the dock. The body was covered with leaves and evergreens and left lying on the dock, with pistol in hand, until the coroner could be summoned. Steers’s mother is prostrated with grief. Miss White is in convulsions tonight, and there is little hope of her living until morning.

THE JULIA BAKER. Belief that the Alleged Mastei- Is an Impostor, and that the Real Captain Was Murdered. Philadelphia, Aug. 2.—Warner & Merritt, owners of the fruit schooner Julia Baker, are more convinced than ever that Captain John Lewis has been murdered by the crew, and that the man in command of her at Key West, who alleges he is Captain Lewis, is an impostor. Last evening the firm forwarded to Key West, by telegraph, a full description of Captain Lewis, and a series of interrogations to be answered by the person in command of the vessel, which brought such answers, through Ramon Alvarez, deputy collector, that at midnight the firm sent that officer the following dispatch: The man claiming to be Lewis is an impostor and unquestionably a murderer. He and all the crow should be prevented from leaving Key West. Tho U. S. Attorney should devise means to hold them. Tho impostor does not answer a single question correctly. In speaking of the matter, Mr. Merritt says: “I haven't the least doubt but the man is an impostor, and have already 6ent a man to Key West to take charge of the vessel. If Captain Lewis was alive and in charge of the schooner, he could very readily answer all questions I propounded, and the fact of the man not making correct replies convinces me that Lewis has been foully dealt with by the crew." Warner <fc Merritt this afternoon received the following dispatch: Key West, Aug. 2. —The situation remains unchanged. The master and crew can not be held on the evidence you have furnished. The master desires to discharge her cargo immediately, but we will temporize with him until the arrival of your representative here. The vessel is apparently not leaking sufficiently to necessitate hasty discharge. A Key West dispatch says: Tho crew of the schooner, Julia Baker state that the master was attended by Gomez, the steward, and Walker, the mate, for seven days after leaving New York. When the crisis came they gave him something from a bottle, and he died in three minutes afterward. Walker was arrested this afternoon. Gomez left the schooner at Fortune Island. He said he owned half the cargo. Walker told the crew, after the schooner left the Bimini Islands, that Gomez had stolen money which had been realized from the sale of flour. The acting master of the schooner has been exhibiting considerable gold, and trying to buy silence. Rangers In Pursuit of Redskins. Van Horne, Tex.. Aug. 2. —Captain McMurray, with a company of State rangers, arrived this morning. He was joined here by a number of cowboys and started in pursuit of the escaped Apaches.
