Saugerties, NY Steamer REINDEER Fire, Sept 1852

THE EXPLOSION ON THE REINDEER.

THREE MORE DEAD.

THE CORONER'S INVESTIGATION CONTINUED.

LIST OF THE DEAD.

INCIDENTS, &c.

The excitement and feeling yesterday at Malden was as intense as on the day of the accident. People were hourly arriving in search of friends who were missing, and too many found their fears too sadly realized.
The Reindeer ramains at the wharf where the disaster occurred, and her owners, MESSRS. BISHOP & Co., will probably not remove her until the result of the investigation is known. The District Attorney of Ulster County, residing at Kingston, came to the village yesterday, and aided Coroner Merclean in prosecuting the inquisition, but as will be observed from the details of yesterday's proceedings, nothing has yet transpired to show the real cause of the sad catastrophe. As several practical steam-boiler makers have been subpoenaed to attend this morning, something of more importance in the way of testimony will probably be elicited today.

OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION OF THE DEAD AND INJURED NOW LYING AT BRISTOL.
Yesterday afternoon the Jury proceeded to the Maldren Hotel, where were lying the remaining dead and injured, and returned to the Coroner the following official record of all who were identified under oath:

Incidents.
Yesterday morning, MR. NATHAN KELLOGG, of Malden, furnished our Reporter with the following particulars of a man found in the river on the opposite shore. It is believed to be the body of one of the passengers who was on board the Reindeer.
The body of a man was picked up yesterday at Red Hook, of which the following is a description: Stout build, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, bald head, dressed in grey tweed pants, grey vest, blue broadcloth coat. He appeared to be a Southerner, about 60 years of age. His face was burned and looked red. In the side pocket of his coat was a large pocket book, which was empty and had the appearance of having been rifled. In his vest pocket was found an eye-glass and the main spring of a watch. No papers were found on his person.
Last evening a resident of Albany, named PATRICK AHERN, in the employ of Messrs Warren & Steele, came to Bristol in search of his daughter, aged 18, and her husband, named GEORGE YOUGHT LEWIS, who left New York on Saturday, and it is believed was on board of the Reindeer. MR. LEWIS was in the employ of Messrs. J. & I. Cox, of Broadway, and no tidings of him or his wife can be had.
The unfortunate party of Southerners, vix: HUGH RILIEGH, MISSES MARGARETTA and SAMUELLA ANDREWS, and THOMAS J. BARNES, from Richmond, Va., have all died of their injuries. As was noticed in the Times, the former gentleman bequeathed his property to the young ladies, MISSES ANDREWS, and in case they did not survive, MR. SNELL was to become the heir to his wealth, who have since expired, made a will a short time before his death, and bequeathed the property to his mother and brother, who are now the only surviving members of the small family. MR. BARNES was engaged to be married to one of the MISS ANDREWS, and all of them were on their way to Niagara Falls.
MR. WOODS, baker, of Princeton, N.J., is yet living, but was not expected to survive the night.
CAPTAIN HOYT, formerly of the steamer Oregon, who was injured, is now at his residence in Hudson at the point of death.
