Ono Hundred and Twonty-four Lives Lout. Halifax, April 4th.—Tho steamer Daniel Steinmann, bound from Antwerp for this port, has been sunk oil' Sambro, about twenty miles from this port. She struck during last night, and only nine men are so far reported to have readied land, out of 133 on board. Captain Shoonhovon and fivo of the crow wore tho only persons saved. Twenty passengers were to hind here, all Germans, and seventy were for New York. She is supposed to have struck on Tho Sisters. The total loss of life is 124.

The Daniel Steinmann was built at Ant werp in 1575. She was 177 feet long, 34 feet beam, and 25 feet, depth of hold. Her gross tonnage was 1.755 tons. Her name was formerly the Khedive. ,She had been running in the White Cross line sinco'lß7B. At one time sho was considered a very lucky vessel, but during the last two or three years sho had mot with various mis haps. She had fivo bulk-heads, and her en gines woro of 1,830-horso power.

STATEMENTS OF THK CAPTAIN" AND A LIIIIIT

MOUSE KEEPER,

The following is the captain's statement : —"On April 3rd, after n voyage of thirteen and a half days frem Antwerp, at C p.m., tlio bearing of Chcbiicto, by (lend reckon ing and seundiiigs, was west half-south by compass, distant twenty-live miles ; there was a heavy fog and rain ; steamed dead low, steering west one-quarter south and sounding every hour. About (1.15 o'clock saw through tlio mist a faint light about two points on the starboard bow, dis appearing out of sight at times four or five minutes. Taking it for Chebncto I steered for it, sounding thirty fathoms, and in twenty minutes after I saw that it was the fixed light of Sambro, appearing clear, and at the same time scoing a faint show of what I took to bo the Chebncto light about four points on the starboard bow ; I sounded _!_ fathoms. I then put the helm hard nport, but it was too late, and just before the .ship struck on the rocks. There was no time that I heard the fog whistle of Sambro. The first shock was light, the .second heavy, carry ing away the steering-gear. After this we could not get the engines to work, but we drifted over tho rocks and anchored, the ship lying-to pretty quiet. There was little sea. I ordered the chief and second mates to lower boats and get the children and female passengers in the first.

THE PASSBNIIEUB WASIII'.II OVERBOARD,

"Whilo I saw this going on, having already ono boat in the water and the crew working with a will, I saw the ship coming into the breakers again. I ran forward to sco if the chain cablo wasn't broken, but before getting there a monstrous sea broke over the poop, washing overboard every passenger, children and women, who stood on tho dock. This was immediately fol lowed by an awful crash and the ship went down as quick as lightning, stern first, carrying everyone down who was on the deck and those who wore below. I ran up the forerigging, but was washed out before getting half May. I afterward succeeded in catching tho topsail yard, which stood just above the water. A moment after a passenger was ablo to join mo.

THE 1.0.5T ASUS AVICI),

" The night was foggy and rainy and we saw nothing more. The next morning we were rescued by three men on Sambro island, about 5 a.m., in one of our own boats, there being no lifeboat or rocket apparatus on the island. Some of tlio crew had already succeeded in reaching hind through the surf. The number of pas sengers drowned was 90 ; of the crow 33 ; saved—passengers, .'! ; crow, (i. We had a line voyage until we reached the banks, which we crossed in latitude _.deg. S.'.min., and whore wo saw somo patches of field ice. There had almost been a continual rain until reaching the No via Scotia coast. Our last observations woro taken on the morning of tho 2nd."

THK CAPTAIN.. RESCUIi

" Wo had a full general cargo of about 1,400 tons—the vessel drawing twenty feet six inches aft and nineteen feet forward. The ship is now evidently broken, with the rocks through her bottom. The storm was from the eastward when we struck, with a dense fog and rain. It was impossible to save any of tho passengers whatever. I staid in the foretopeail yards, but had to go higher up to clear the break ef the sea. I maintained my position in the ratlines for eight hours, in company with the solitary surviving passenger. We wero afraid to lush ourselves for fear tbe mast would break away, so we just held on, all ready to jump, from 10 p.m. to 5.30 a.m., when a heavy line was thrown to us and we jumped into the water ami wero pulled through tho surl into the boat."

STORY OF A LIOHTIIOOSE KKEPER.

Alexander Oilnies, ono of the lighthouse keepers, residing on the island, said : "] was in chargo of tho fog whistle from (i to 9.30 o'clock, I kept the whistle sound ing a warning until it cleared sufficiently to enable me to sco distinctly Devil's Island and Chebucto Head. I then stopped the whistle, tho engineer deeming it un necessary to keep it going, Just before the onginccr relieved mo at ..30 o'clock, the lookout man sighted a steamer about a mile south by east of the light. Sho ran about a mile, stopped, then started ahead. She went about live hundred yards, stopped again, and 1 think sho then struck on the Broad Bever shoal, for sho began to back. It was very dark. The fog whistle started again, though it was still clear of fog About twenty minutes after sho began to back she struck again on tho Mad dock shoal, drifted across it and sunk betweon 300 and 400 foot from the island shore. My brother and I attempted to put out, but the boat was too small, and we were forced to turn back. I then went up and lit bonfires along shore to warn the boatß against tho dangerous coast. In the cotirso of an hour a boat came in sight, which proved to be ono of tho boats from tho steamer, containing seven mon. W Te succeeded in landing them. I kept lights burning along the shore all night, but saw nothing more until daybreak, when I discovered persons clinging to the forward rigging— tho steward and threo others. We put out to tho wreck and rescued the captain and ono passenger. Throughout the day the fog continued too thick for us to signal, and tho soa too boistorous to permit of our land ing on tho main land."

DISASTROUS HURRICANES.

A Largo Number of Porsons Killed and Wounded. -Groat Destruction of Pro perty.

riTTsnuRG, April 3.—By a cyclone in the Monongihela Valley yesterday morning, property was destroyed valued at several thousand dollars, and twenty-one persons wero injured, four probably fatally. Tho sun was shining brightly at 9.30 o'clock. A few minutes later the sky became overcast, and hail commenced falling. There were vivid Hashes of lightning and loud peals of thundor. A terrific gale blew, which levelled fences, wrenched signs from thoir fastenings, and demolished houses. Oliver and Roberts' wire mill was completely wrecked. The building was 200 feet square and almost entirely of iron construction, It had not yet been placed under a roof. About 100 men were engaged inside putting in an engine when the storm rent tho build ing in twain. The heavy iron fell with a crash and the men scattered poll-mell, seeking places of safety. All but six escaped, and only one of these (William Lacy) was fatally hurt. Tho storm continued its course along tho south side of the liver, sweeping all out houses and fences from its path, until Homestead was reached, where it seemed to gather now force. A frame houso, owned by Evan Jones, was blown down, and six men working in tho building wero more or less injured. A carpenter's shop adjoining was crushed by the falling timber, and two men woro hurt. In another part of the town the frame house of John Randolph was lifted from its foundation and carried some distance, tho family being uninjured. The storm passed up the valley, but so far no other damage has been reported.

Nkw Orleans, April i.— The "Times- Democrat's " Huntsvillo, Ala., special says : A destructive cyclone passed through this county last night, greatly damaging tim ber and fencing. The houso of a family named White was completely blown away. Mrs White and her mother were killed, and the baby was carried several miles in the woods, where it was found alive this morn ing. A man named Glover had both shoulders broken. Others woro moro or less injured. Columbia, S. C, April 2nd.—lnforma tion has just reached this city by train that a hurricane wrecked tho largo brick depot of the South Carolina-Railroad at Camden, and McDowells store and several other buildings in that town. Foi .it tires aro now raging on the outskirts of Camden, and nearly the entire populace are out righting them. It is reported tonight that the town of Timmonsville, on the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Railway, has been completely wrecked by the gale and many of the inhabitants killed and injured.

Cincinnati, April 2nd.—Reports from oastern Indiana and western Ohio say that tho storm last, night was vory severe, and tlio wind blow a hurricane, prostrating fences aud telegraph lines, and communica tion was badly interrupted. No lives are reported lost. Near Greenville the storm was very severe. Houses, barns, and trees wero blown down. No lives aro reported lost. Two miles and a half distant a minute latter it struck Oakville, carry ing death and destruction in its track. Of thirty houses in Oakville all but three were torn to atoms. Five persons wore killed outright, and a sixth died this morn ing. A large number were injured. Fifty are reported wounded. FORT Wayne, Ind., April 2. —A destruc tive cyclone passed through Honey and Blackford counties, Ind., fivo miles south of Muncie, passing in a north-easterly direc tion, last night, causing groat loss of lifo and property. Three women nnd two men wero killed at Oakville. Two of the women wore picked up by tho wind and carried fully hulf-a-mileand deposited in the woods. It is believed the loss of life in the country remote, from telegraph facilities, has been considerable.

EXCITING SCENE AT A NEW YORK FIRE.

Gallant Behaviour of Firemen.

New York, April 7th.—During the burn ing of the St. George apartment house to-day the street was filled with an excited crowd, who were helping fainting women and half-suffocated men and children to places of safety. At- the sight of a boy on the win dow-.-ill, 100 feet above the sidewalk, a wild shout of warning was raised, " Back, back ; don't jump." Firemen were coining and tho now life-saving service, with their yet untried ladders, were hooking them to the sills in the second story from the street below, and the men were swinging them selves into perilous positions on the wall. The boy waved his hands from above, urging haste. The tiro burst through the windows on either side, and tho shattered trluss rattled upon the sidewalk. The lad hugged the wall and seemed measuring the height of the jump. At last the firemen reached mid rescued him. Then the cry was raised that there were others in tho building, and the liremen bravoly dashed in. Just as James Rape and Thomas Mooney, two fire inon, entered the engine-room, the elevator fell, currying with it a lot of burnt timbers, which struck tho men, causing dangerous injuries. Fred Kemmellbacher, engineer of the building, was hit on tho head by a cable and knocked senseless. Three servants became lost in the smoke of the seventh floor and the policeman ar rived just in time to force them down the rear fire escape. Mrs Burgess, aged eighty-five, was rescued just as the flames were burning through the partition to her room. More than two-thirds of the tenants of the building were got out in time, thus undoubtedly saving a terrible loss of life. A number of well-known families occupied the lower floors of the building, including the married daughters of ex-Governor Hoffman and the Hon. Octavius Brooks. The falling walls com pelled the occupants of the adjoining build ings to flee for safety. St. George's flat was finished last October, and was one of the handsomest apartment buildings in New York. It was considered fire-proof in every particular. It was recently purchased by John Taylor for g_!00,000, and was partially insured. The sign-board outside seemed to bu the only thing fire-proof about tho build ing. It bore the legend " These Elegant Fire-proof Flats to Let."

THE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

[IIIOM OUK LONDON COEI'.ESI'ONDKST.]

Tho University Boat Race is fixed for April sth, and already Londoners are be ginning to take a deep interest in the doings ot the rival crews. The Cantabs arrived at I'utnoy last week and have been training hard on the actual course. The Oxford men are at present higher up the river at .Marlow, but come down to Putney to com mence work on the tide way to-morrow. Until both crews are to be seen at Putney it is almost impossible to say which is the better; the present betting is 2 to 1 on Oxford. Tho names and weights of the ciews are as follow :— OXKOIID. St. lb. A. G. Short, Christchurch (how) .. 11 1. 2. L. Stock, Exeter 11 0 3. C. R. Carter, Corpus Chriati .. .. 12 8 I. R W. Taylor, Lincoln 13 21, 5. D. 11. McLean, New 12 13" ti. A. R. Peterson, Trinity 13 1 7. W. C. Blandy, Exeter 10 11 W. D. B. Curry, Kxeter (stroke) .. 10 4 F. J, Humpreys, Brasonose (cox) ..8 1 C._-H!RIDC!E. St. lb. R.G.Gridley, Third Trinity (how) .. 10 5 .. H. Eyre. Corpus 11 1. 3. F. Strakcr, Jesus 12 1 4. S. Swarm, TrinLy Hall 13 3. 5. F. E. Churchill, Third Trinity .. 13 3 ti. E. W. Haig. Third Trinity .. .. 11 7 7. C. W. Moore, Chri3t's 1112 b\ J. Pitman, Third Trinity (stroke).. 11 101 C. E. Biscoe. Jesus (cox) 8 7

From the above weights it will bo seen that the Cambridge crew is about two pounds heavier than Oxford, who are, so the critics say, doing a very risky thing in selecting such a light man as Curry for stroke. On Monday last the Cambridge men made their first journey over the full course, which thoy covered in the fair time of 21min. 20sec. On pulling up they were very distressed, but this can hardly be wondered at, as the water was very choppy* and they rowed their hardest all the way The sporting papers have not got much to say in favour of tho Light Blues ; this is what ono of them remarks about Monday's performance:—"Taking all things into consideration the display was not a taking one. One great fault, and it would be well to alter it in time, is that they do not go up to their work in anything like a proper fashion ; but, on tho other hand, slide short, and put the whole of the arm and chest power into a short, snatchy stroko. The result is less speed nt a greater outlay of strength, and this will undoubtedly tell upon them in the raco." The Oxonians, too, fail to entiroly plcaso tho crltios, their chief faults being that thoy splash considerably, and make the boat roll to an almost dangerous extent; on the whole, however, the Dark Blues seem the better crow of tho two, and their per formance on the day of the race will pro bably justify tho confidence placed in them by their backers."

Result of the Race.

(BY ATLANTIC CABLE.)

Tho annual boat raco betweon the Oxford and Cambridge University crews occurred on the morning of April 7th. Tho course was the regular four miles and two furlongs on the Thames, from Putney to Mortlake. Tho weather was iinpropitious, and tho air filled with drizzling rain. A heavy mist over hung the river, while the water was decidedly choppy. Thoro were but few spectators. Tho Cambridge crew was the favourite from the start, and gained an easy victory. Oxford won the toss, and chose the Surrey side. After a false start, Cambridge at the word "Go" gripped the water first, and gained a lead of nearly half alength. Oxford, by a great effort, almost caught Cambridge in the first one hundred yards, and a ding dong tussle was kept ap for the rest of the first mile, when Cambridge led, and was never afterwards headed. Passing Hammer smith, Cambridge was nearly a length ahead. Oxford frequently spurted, and Cambridge promptly answered. A nasty, choppy sea, and a head wind, seemed to favour Cambridge's rowing, and the steer ing of Oxford was somewhat wild, but tho men worked gamely until Barnes's was reached, when they went to pieces, and Cambridge finished fresh nearly three lengths ahead. Time, 21mins 29secs.

Mr Gordon complained that the Board had failed to properly advertise meetings &o , and thus, had placed the ratepayers in a false position. He would also call tho attention ol the Board to tho fact that Mr Thomas Stringer, when Treasurer of the Board, bought a book bearing on the Lieonsing question and ha would submit it was Mr Striuger's duty to re turn it or pay for it. As he bought it with the ratepayers monoy in the first instance, Mr Sturges suggested that Mr Gordon should publicly prosecute Mr Stringer. Mr Gordon said he certainly should not do so, know ing how anothor gentleman had been BerVed who had taken upon himself tho onus of prosecuting the same person, He would also

call the attention of tho Chairman to tho furze etc. Four persons had been summoned for nei-' leet to cut and grub, when two mem bers of the Roaid hud failed to obey tho very law thoy helped to make.

R. Wills, the Chairman said the railway road path should be metalled at once, and the water tables seen to; and in re gard to tho postal arrangements, he thought Mr Wills should table a motion, and if carried they would forward it to Wellington. It was then proposed by Mr Gordon, and seconded by Mr Wills.

JUDGMENT IN THE TAKA PUNA CASE.

[BY TKI-F.IIRAI'H— press,, assooiatio.v,]

DuxEMM, Saturday. The Court found : "That, the vessel struck oil' Cape Egmont; that she was brought into foul ground through tho want of ex perience of the second mate, causing him to misjudge her distance from shore ; that the captain neglected to take proper pre cautions for steering a safe course, and was absent from the dock when rounding Egmont, leaving the vessel's safety en tirely dependent on the judgment of a young officer unacquainted with the coast, If this negligence in navigation were an isolated instance, the Court might be en abled to look more leniently on the default but an examination of tho logs and other official records of the ship, and the absence of a night order book, show great general carelessness on tho master's part. Therefore, his certificate is suspended for six months, subject to confirmation by the Governor. We wish to caution the second mate that he should always ask for a chart and appliances necessary for safe naviga tion. We think it necessary to notice that the chief engineer neither entered in his register the damage done to the bottom nor reported to thelnspectingEngineertheentry of tho vessel's striking heavily. We regret to add that the chief mate, Mr Tinith, like wise failed to enter in the ship's log a com plete record of what actually occurred on varieus occasions, and made irregular addi tions. The costs of witnesses, £30 10s, to be paid by Captain Jones."

MINING NEWS.

TE AROHA

(From To-day's "News.")

Colonist.—The contractors in the low level are making good headway in driving, but the country has, during tho week, been considerably tighter than before. The face is now in over 40ft., being about half the distanoe at which it is expected the reef will be struck. The winze in the inter mediate level is down about 25ft, A littlo water has been met with in sinking, but not yet in sufficient quantity to materially retard the work. The reef maintains its size, being now about sft. wide, and yielding good crushing dirt; some of the stone got out within the last few days having shown gold even more freely than usual. There is nothing cf more than ordinary importance to relate con cerning the stopes, which continue to pro duce stuff of good average quality.

Canadian. —A commencement has been made on the winze from the upper level, and it is now about sft. down. The horse of mullock which split the reef in the level has given out, and in the bottom there is a fine compact lode over sft. in width. About 30ft. has yet to be sunk to reach the re quired depth. The winze is 25ft. from tha Colonist boundary, and, when through to the level below, will open up a nice block of ground. The trial crushing now going on at the battery gives promise of a payable yield, but it will be some days before the actual result is known.

Hero.—The contract for putting in a low level has been let at 19s Cd per foot, and work commenced. The cross-cutting 'of the reef iv the drive above is still going on, the footwall not having yet been reached.

Wellington.— The drive on the leader is being pushed ahead, and with an en couraging degree of success. The vein keeps up its size, varying from 0 to 12 inches in thickness. At the last breaking down there was a fair show of gold. Waiorokc.'o-lai.—The small block over the upper drive towards the Wellington boundary is being taken out to the surface, Excellent prospects of loose gold aro ob tained, and colours ate occasionally visible in the stone. The lower drive is in over 20 feet, and the vein has there increased in size to about IS inches. It has also im proved in quality, gold being now more frequently visible in the solid quartz than at starting,

[from the " coromandel mail."] Union Beach,—Tho manager has opened out at 35 feet down. The winze on New Reef, which is of fair size, shows good pretty freely. Ho is confident of having a payable block to take out. Ho intends to rise from the ISO feet level, and slope out from these the small leaders on the Green Harp, which is also looking well; a few very rich stones being obtained from there.

Harbour View.—Tribute is still looking well, and there is every probability of gold being obtained from the stopes equal to the last lot.

Blue Peter.—Several pounds of very nice specimen stono havo been got in the stopes since last crushing. The leader ia small, but will pay well.

Roval Oak.—The reef in tho low lovel ia still looking remarkably well. The manager is confident he is not far from gold.

J Matawai, No. 2.—Several men are dili gently engaged tracing up Vaughan's reef, and have every prospect of getting a rich claim.

Argonaut.—This clainftto the north of Matawai stands remarkably woll for their reef, which must strike through the claim.

Melbourne Victoria,

23rd November, i-33. To tho Editor Aucklakd Evening Stau. Dear Sir,—l _oslrc to add my cheerful endorse ment of tho good of.eels I havo ut all times re ceived from the uso of St. Jacob's Oil when in active training and racing. During my recent 6 days' contest hold in tho Melbourne Exhibi tion Building for £500 and tho championship of the Australian and adjacent colonies, it was my boon companion. I continually used it before and after each day's performance, anil the re sults simply astonished me. After riding for 8 consecutive hours each day, viz., from half-past 2 until half-past 10, my limbs would become sore and still from over-exertion, but after being well-rubbed with tho oil all muscular pain immediately vanished and I felt as fresh as ever. As proof positive.after tho contest was over, I rodo lOu miles against time before a pub lic audience and accomplished it in C hours II minutes 45} seconds. Another application of St. Jacob's Oil was made, and it removed all feel ings of f atiguo and I felt perfectly fit for anothor race. Am positiveit aided me to win themutcK and I shall never enter a similar oontest without a bicyclo and St. Jacob's Oil.

I strongly advise all " wheelmen " and other athletes to give it a trial, and feel fully con vinced their experiences will compare favour ably with my own.

I romain, dear Sir, Yours truly, Joun Rolfe,
