POLITICAL.

THE municipal election in Cincinnati was one of the most quiet held tor years, and resulted in the election of the Democratic tloket by about $,000 majority, in a very light vote. The Republicans elected their mu nicipal tloket la Cleveland by about $,000 majority.

As hs approached he saw tbst he was almost in Sambro. Before be oould give any orders the steamer shriek twice and began sinking. He tried to rda her ashore, but she went down. As soonjM she struok he ordered the passengers on deck, but they were swept overboard and drowned by the heavy teas. Two passengers and five of the erewmanaoed to get. out a boat and reach the shore. The ship settled gtern first. The captain, who was at hi»poSt, threw off his boots and coat and took to the forward rigging. ,8hesank taster than he could climb, and he let go of the rig ging. Finally he managed to get to the top gallant yard, where he clung with one of the passenger* ti l 5 o'clock Friday morning, when tbey Were rescued by a boat from tha Island. The qlptaln declared that tho first ShoQk waa light but the second heavy, and that the steering gear waa lost then. He did not hear any fog signal during the whole of the time. After the second Shock the steamer drifted over the rocks and anchored. There was little sea and tbe captain ordered tbe mates to lower the boats. Just then a monstrous sea broke over the poop, washing overboard every passenger on the deck. Then came an awful craalv and-the ship went down like a flash. Three surviving passengers of the Daniel Steinmann have arrived In this city. They say the vessel struck but lightly, twice. The captain then summoned all on deck and di rected them to prepare to enter the boats, if euch would be neoossary. One boat was launched and all made a rush for it, though good discipline was maintained among the ship's crew. Tbe boat was well filled and at tached to the steamer by a rope. • When some of those on board were about cutting tbe line the steamer suddenly sunk, dragging the beat and Its occupants down with It. The boat turned over and over, and every person it waa thrown out and drowned. When tho stern of the vessel sank the cries and screams of women mid children were heartrending for a few minutes. Capt. Schoonhoven made his way up the forerigging: Two men caught the rigging of the malnmaat 'and endeavored to climb along the itur between the heads of the two toasts. In this perilous passage one lost his grip and was washed away. Tbe other, John •Neidermaan^suooooded in reaching the fore- rigging by * desperate effort, in the course of which his UjTS were seized by some one drowning.

The two unfortunatea rom time to time, cried out together for help, but the roar of the wind and water drowned their feeble voloes, so that, even If assistance bad been at band. It Is doubtful If (they could '•have been beard. They were doomed to painfully watoh the passing minutes and hours throughout the night till daybreak. In this dismal watoh they oould feel the vessel drifting nearer and nearer to Sambro Island. To add to tbe hor ror of their situation, they saw blue lights burning on shore, and signals to guide tbe boats to safety, while conscious they were beyond assistance or relief. Soon after day light a boat put out from the core, manned by five men, whq approached them. The captain was by this time so benumbed that his companion, Neiderman, had to use force to disengage him from the spar and assist him into the boat.: He then followed, and both were landed and taken into the light house. Among the curious Incidents connected with the eswgpe of the seven persons landed in a boat duringlhe night, one of the most thrill ing was that of an Italian, he having grasped the boat Just after she left tbe steamer. Her occupants refused to take him in because a number of other drowning persons bad bis legs and body, and It was certain tl could not take them all withoutswamp she was already half full of water, ianatonce dived1 and thus shook oO holding to him. He coon reappeared surface and again caught the boat. then taken in, but was to exhausted t|* a time he was helpless. 'The boat danger of foundering, owing to the that was constantly ooming in, and in her took off their boots to bail h The Italian at first refused to assist work, but on beln^ threatened with thrown overboard again unless he assi keep the boat free, he made an efforp so.
