Eleven bodies of the victims of the Seawana- haka calamity, rescued frum the water last evening and during the night, were taken to the Morgue by the steamers this morning, and up to the time of writing nine of these bodies had been identitied. It appears that many of the halt clazed relatives and intimate friends of the missicg passengers on theSeawanahaka rushed this morning towards Androvaall’s Island aud Astoria to find some tidings of the unfortun- ale persons who had not been heard from. But by that time a number of bodies had arrived at the Morgue, and when the relatives and friends had visited the other places in vain they beg an to flock to THE DEAD-HOUSE. There was uncommon excitement at this place. The wardens of the hospital and the officers and workmen of the dead- house de- clared they had not witnessed more distress- ing scenes since the days of tae Westfield dis- aster. Hundreds of persons liv- ing in the neighborhood of East Twenty- sixth street congregated around the gates, carriages drove up and away, many well- dressed men and women came and failed to recognize any of the bodies, and others had their worst fears confirmed by finding their missing ones. Among the dead at noon the bodies of one woman, one child and one man burned toja crisp remained at the Morgue unidentified. The teeth of the burned man were sent to a dentist to see if they could be identified. The Loat and Saved. NEW YORK, June 29.—Wm. R. Grace, 87 Wall street, reported lost together with wife and child by the burning of the Steamer Sewanahaka last evening, is among the saved.

Skidmore, 284 Pear! street, was found at the foot of One Hundred and Fifteenth street. He jumped overboard from the steamer after shaking hands with his brother, who was saved. A body at the Morgue is supposed to be that of Rev. J. W. Diller, D. D., former rector of St. Luke’s Church, Brooklyn. It has not yet been identified. Two more bodies were picked up off Ward’s Island, one man forty years old, light com- plexion, sandy hair and whiskers and dressed in black coat, checkered jumper and blue overalls.

Norris, a Springfield, Ohio, detectlve, was caught on his way southward by a PostT-DISPATCH reporter to-day, and the following ower true tale was told by him as anexplanation of his journey to Texas. „I'm after a murderer,” he said, and a par- ticularly cute one, too, who has succeeded in evading justice 80 long that he had al most given up all fear of detection when he was picked up.“ Tell us about it,“ said the scribe. ,. “Well, there was a stiff found a mile or two outside of Fremont on May 23, 1878, witha bullet hole in his head and a scrawi of paper in its hand stating that the dead man had committed suicide, and that he wanted to be buried where he fell. I suspected foul oe when I read the story, and came to Fremont and had the body resurrected. I scattered photographs over the country, andin this way identified the corpse as ANDKEW CORTRECKER, . a wealthy citizen of Greensburg, Pennsylva nia, who was looking in Ohio for a location. He was last seen in Fremont with $1,300 in gereenbacks on his person, and then all trace of him was lost. Ashe had a gold watch and chain on when he left his hotel, and this had been replaced by a silver one, and his money was all gone, I became quite sure he had been murdered, and sol attacked the question. His watch had been sold to par- ties in Michigan by a Fremont bully named Bob Cabill, who had fled the town about the time of the bogus suicide. I shadowed Bob’s pal, a crook named Pelter Welch, who lived with a very prett girl named Mary Eisenbrise. She was wanted for larceny, and I ran her into the Prosecuting Atterney’s office, where we had already brought Welch on general principles. The girl bad stolen $60 from her mother to pay Welch to marry her, as we knew, and I made her believe that Welch had given her away. Assoonasshe saw him she blazed out with the threat that she could bim it sbe liked. Herepliea by cursing her and inavhry solemn manner she turned to him ard said: I saw you kill Cortrecker with mv own eyes.’ Then che threw up her arms dramatically, and ex- claimed, ‘My God, what havel done!“ Of course Welch and sne were both indicted, and after a long ume she consented to turn State’s evidence to secure immunity for herself. HER STORY. is, that Welch used herasa decoy duck to lure gentlemen out into the woods where a ~ variation of the pavel game was ployee on them. Corireckir was rougbt just to the rear of the Hayes man- sion at Fremont, where he was immediately set upon d Welch with a demana for $1,000. He showed to he was Welch was riflin his kets. note was written by Bob Cahill, and the carried out on the road by another pal, a butcher, who was arrested ag gon us her testimovy could be heard. To capture Cabiil it became necessary to use 1 good deal of stratagem, it was only by watching his mother’s * and that we got on to his address at Fort Worth, - Texur. I ordered his arrest and shortly at- ter received the following telegram: a Fr. Worts, TEX Jane 26.—I 7 Robert Caniit arrested. Prepare requisition 1 " and come at once. Fear tabvas S. M * .
