The colored voters of the West End wards have come to the conclusion thnt they will not allow one man to carry their votes in his pocket, but that tl.ey will use them to the best advantage and for ihe good of the community.

Springfield has no such iiinorant men, and if he lias, they will not expose themselves. The mixed school question is beginning to agitate the minds of the thinking men of onr city again. The gentlemen and ladies of this city received Invitations from Allice Reynold, of Urbana, to attend an entertainment in that city. The lady is a fine conversationalist, and Springfield guests anticipate a pleflHant evening. . . Toe young people of Springfield anticipate a pleasant summer, as many young ladles and gent's will visit here this summer.

Mostly Women and Children. First DIspatcb.l Memphis, Tenn., March 30. The Cincin nati and New Orleans packet "Golden City" en route from New Orleans to Cincinnati, burned at the wharf this morning, at 4:30 o'clock. Between thirty and fifty lives were lost, principally women and children. iSecona Dispatch.) Memphis. March 30. Thes:eamer "Golden City" of the Southern Transportation Com pany's line, when approaching the wharf this morning at 4:30 o'clock, was discovered to be on fire by the f eoond engineer, Robert Kelly, who immediately notified Captain Uryce Turcell. Sr., the pilot ou watch. The boat's bow was at once headed for the shore, and in four minutes afterward she touched the wharf at the foot of Beale street, where a coal fleet is moored. A line was thrown and made fast to one of the coal barges, but the current being swift, it soon parted and the burning steamer floated on down, the river, a mass of flames, with many of her passengers and crew aboard who were unable to reach the shore, and were lost. The Golden City left New Qrlean.3 last Sat urday, en route to Ci ncinnati. She carried a crew of about sixty. She had about forty cabin paeners, fifteen of whom were ladies and nine children. Her cargo consisted of 300 tons, among which was lot of jute. 1'he tire is sa;d to have had its origin In this combustible material. stowe's circus and animals lost. Stowe's circus was taken aboard at Vidalia. La., and six csges of animals, birds, to gether with the ticket and bandwagon, tents and horses were lost. SPREAD OF THE FLAMES. Marion Purcell, one of the pilots, was in the clerk's lhce when the alarm was soundcd and'ruslH'd through the cabin, bursting in the state room doors and awakening haveners. Hut fo rspidly did the flames spread that within tive minutes after discovering the tire, which broke out amidship, ihfi alter partot the steamer was all ablaze. Thoe that were f-aved had to flee in their night clothes. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. As near as can be ascertained there were twenty-three ladies aboard the Ul-lated -teamer, but two of whom were saved. J. II. Crank, connected with'Stowe s circus, is missing; supposed he is lost. John Devouse, his wife and three children were savtd and are at ib.3 City Hospital; also Simon Black. Mr. levouse is slightly burned on the hand. The "Golden City" was five years old, cost -54 OOO, insured or f30,000 in Cincin nati ollices. She was owned by Captain J. I). Higler, W. F. Mclmyre and T. C. Mein tyre. She lies sunk about three miles be low here, in the etiure near the Tennessee shore. When she floated from the wharf about twenty of her pas-eneers and crew jumped aboard a barge, which floated down the sireatu, but they wtre rescued by one oi the harbor boats, which towed the barge into shore one mile below the city. It is esmated that thiny-iive lives were lost by the (l isister. diu ai. present mi Hiuiitiuiiai nauies can be learned. Robert Kelly, second engineer, and three roustabouts aie the only ... a i i a. l .ones ot tne ooai s crew tnai are Known w oe lost. John Drefler. steward: Pete Dreffer, cook; John Lamb, second c wk; Billy Luxford, pastry co -k; Mart halen, mess room tender; John llill, second mate; Charles Harvey, s-cond watchman, and a passenger named Bloomfield were saved. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. I The fire was caused by a watchman acci dentally f-etiiiif fire to a lot of jute which wai stored amidship the steamer, one naa just whistled to laud, and the watchman went anions the deck passengers to noiny them that Memphis was being approached, and those that were destined for here must g-t ashore. The bottom of his lamp dropped in some jute, and before the flames could ie extinguished, spiead all over the deck of the teamer. Hryce I'urcell. the pilot, made his escape by climbing over the front of the ilot lotit-e, a the hre was all in the rear ot him when the steamer touched the wharf. The ttig Oriole did not burn, as first reported, nit was sunk by the burning steamer In makiig the landing Severai coal barges ind ice b ats belonging to Bohlen, Hu.-e & i Jo. caught on fire and burned. Billy llidge, pi lot on the Dean Ad ims, saved the cook, who jumped overboard, as he floated down stream. All the passengers and crew were kindly cared for by 0. B. Galloway, of the-Feabody Hotel, who provided them with breakfast. THE FI REM EN'8 ACCOUNT. Pat Haley and Mike O' Donovan, tbe two firemen who were on watch, say they saw the nero Captain of the watch, named Wash, with his lamp in hand, looking for some of the dtck crew. It was from his lamp that the fire caught to the jute stored in the center of the steamer, and as quick as a flash spread to either side of the steamer and up to the cabin. Haley ran up stairs to notify the- engineer, but by the time he reached the hurricane deck the flames had mounted almost to the pilot house, and he was driven back by the tire. Ue then rang the alarm bell, and seeing that the boat was approaching the shore, ran down the forward stairs and jumped on board the tug Oriole, just as the Golden City siruck her. Seeing that the tug was sinking, he sprang ab'-ard the s-teamer again and made his way to the coal barge lyiog alongside. Two negro'deck hands and a while deck passenger were killed when the tug was atruclc as they were caught between the bow of the boat aud the hide of the tug. ' Abel Butler, of Donaldsonville. La., to gether with his wife and child, made their ec.ipe fiom the burning steamer in their night clothe. A. 11. Veatch, formerly river reporter on the Evansville, Ind-, Tribune, was on board. He remained long enongh to dress himself before leaving hia state room. J. H. Cronk, owner of the side show to th circus, is supposed to be lost. His roommate, A. N. Ackeman, dragged him out of bed to the foot of the stairs through the

smoke, and is satisfied he never arose from where he left him. Fright seemed to have paralyzed him. J. Or. Glenroy, one of the saved, resides in Philadelphia, and has for two years been keeper of tbe animals of Stowe'8 menagerie. Ue states he was asleep under one of the animal cages on the forward lower deck. When the cry of fire was given be leaped forth, looked out, but faw no fire; then he looked again and saw the entire center of the boat a mass of flames. As soon as t he boat touched the coal fleet he jumped ashore. He saw the officers of tbe steamer at work making hawsers fat, then saw the lints give way and the steamer going out adrift down; saw the caee containing the lion sink down in the middle as the flames enveloped it; heard no cry from a single beast as the animals burned. Six cages, containing the lion, tiger, two leopards, albino, deer, monkeys, birds, four horses, also belonging to the circus, vrere on board. Three were saved. One, the celebrated horse Selim, wa lost. r FARTHER PARTICULARS. Anna Boyd, the colored chambermaid and her assistant, are both lost Mike Malloy and Pat Kinney, firmen, are both saved; also, J. M. Whelan, the second baker. Whelan says he jumped overt ard from the stern of the steamer as she floatad down tbe stream. There were some men on the fantail of the boat who must have been drowned as when . he leaped in the river he saw three men go overboard and drown. Others must have shared the same fate. Felix Lehman, who was a paenger, says there wa3 a merry party aboard and nearly all passengers remained up until midnight. They had one t two gentlemen aboard who played the tiano and thev entertained the Eassengers with music. He was awakened y hearing his state room burst in and heard the cry of "fire." Seizing his clothes he ran forward and reached the barge just in -time, as the next minute the vessel floated down the stream. The body of an elderly white woman was found floating near the wreck, but her identity has not yet been established. Stowe's circus was en route to Cairo, where the spring season was to'be opened. A portion of tbe show is at Vicksburg. Will Mclntyre, clerk of the boat, says the list of the lost cabin passengers, as well as he can remember, is correct. Mrs. L. E. Kounz and her three children, who are lost, was the wife of Captain Kounz, a well known steamer owner. Those mentioned being at the hospital are all injured by burns, but not seriously. The passengers lost all their clothing. Those that were pavedhad to flee for their lives withont taking time to save their effects. THE VESSEL AND HER OWNERS. i Cincinnati, March 30. The steamer's owners are Captain J. D. Hegler, S. C. Mclntyre and W. F. Mclntyre. She was commanded bv the second named gentleman, a very capable officer and the last named was chief clerk. She was valued at $40.000, and insured for $30,000, distributed chiefly in Cincinnati offices. 8he was built in 1870. and was one of the best eqnipd steamers plying in the Cincinnati and New Orleans trade. The Government Inspectors say in this respect that he was extraordinsrily wtll provided with every modern appliance calculated to avert the clmiity which has overtaken her. She was 27o leet long, forty feetbe&m, thirty-eight feet UMrancl six leei

four inches depth of 'hold She measured 671 tons, and had a carrying capacity of 1,300 tons. She had three boilers, each forty-eight inches In diameter, eight fe-t stroke. The boat arrived at New Orleans from this port on Friday evening, the 24 h inst., and started back on ber return trip the day fol1 iwine. She had a good trip of freight according to advices received by mail, aud a large number of passengers. Captain J. D. Higler, one of the Golden Hty'sowner, was at Fulton this morning look! tr. after his steamer Guiding Star, when t e news of the loss of the other craft reached him. He immediateiv came to the city and telegraphed t Captain Mclntyre to sp re no pains or expense in providing for patties in distress, and to recover all bodies possible. Robert Kelley, who is reported as hsving lost his life at his post of duty, was a son of the chief engineer. Captain Hegler says he was a stout young fellow and a powerful swimmer, and thinks be may have jumped over board at tbe last moment and reached the shore. He also says that many persons may have provided them?elves with life preservers and committed themselves to the wa'er, and without absolute knowledge of their loss some hopes for their safety may be entertained, as Preident's Island was directly below the place where the boat Anally sunk. CORRECTED LI8T OF THE LOST LATER PARTICCLAR8. The following is a corrected list of the lost by the burning of the Golden City at the wharf this morning: Dr. Monahan and wife, of Jackson, u.; Mrs. Cary, of Fairmount, near Cincinnati; Miss LuellaC'ary. Morton Place, near Cincinnati; W. H. Stowe and wife, O. E. Lywood and wife, Henderson, Kv ; Mr-. Anna 8ruub, of Masachu8etts: Miss Helen Percival, Hawesville, Ky.; Mrs. L. K. Ko ii 8 and three children. Miss Cam poell, a relative of Mrs. Kouns, Robert Kelly, Sec md Engineer; MHry Boyd, Aman da Atchison, chambermaids; J. C. Crone, owner of the side show to Stowe's circus; three of the deck crew (colored) and a negro boy evant, W. H. Stowe. Captain Mclntyre was asleep at the time the fire originated, but heard the alsrra and came hastily down stairs. He tried to get into the cabin. but the hie and smoke orove him back. Descending to the deck he and the second mate, John Hill, made a burning boat fast to the coal fleet, and then, aided by tne passengers in getiing off the steamer. He was calm and did everything in his power to sä ve everybody, but all efforts proved fruit less, as the line which held the boat either burned or unloosed itself in some way, and she b?gan drifting into the stream. John H. Trewaiia, agent of Stowe's Circuwas on the lower deck and seeing Mr. A. Buttler of Donaldsonville, Ga, with his wife and four oildren on the boiler 'deck, shouted to him to throw his children. Mr. Buttler tossed him two which Mr. Trewaiia caught and carried to a place of safety on the coal barge. He then assisted Mrs. Buttlr w'sh her infant down from the upper deck and helped off the steamer, while Mr. Buttler brought down stairs his remaining child. Willis McKinley, a yonrg man sevenÄÄÄrS the first cry of fire was heard. He says it was not three minutes after before be saw flames coming up through the floor of his statt room. He ran back in the ladles' cabin, where bis grandmother, Mrs. Percival, and his aunt, Miss Ionia Matson, were bursting in their Biaterooma. He found both standing up. Telling them to come on, he graspf d his aunt by the arm and led the way through , the -blinding smoke to the front part of the boat.
