The Elbe, of the North German Lloyd Line, Sunk by Collision in Mid-Ocean.

Throe Hundred and Seventy-Eight Lives Said to Have Been Lost —Twenty-Two Resoued.

The Disaster Occurs Off Lowestoft, England—Details as Gleaned from Stories of the Survivors.

LONDON, Jan. 21.—The North German Lloyd steamship Elbe, bound from Bremen for New York, was sunk in a collision with the small steamer Crathie off Lowestoft, early Wednesday morning. She carried 240 passengers and 160 officers and seamen. But twen-ty-two survivors have been landed, but a few others may be afloat In one of the ship's small boats. At 10 o'clock Wednesday evening the number of lives lost was given out as 378.

The Elbe was a first-class passenger steamer of 5,500 tons and 470 feet in length. She was built in 1879 at the Fairfield Ship Building company's, on the Clyde, and cost 551,250,000.

The Survivors.

The survivors of the wreck were landed at Lowestoft by the fishing smack Wildflower at 5:40 o'clock Wednesday evening. They number twenty-two. Of these five were passengers and seventeen members of the vessel's crew. The passengers saved are Carl Hoffman, Grand Island, Neb. Emma Schlegel, Fuerth Messrs, Lugen, Vevera and Bolthen, and Miss Anna Buecker. The two last were steerage

El

assengers. Mr. Vevera's residence is Cleveland, O. Hoffman's wife and boy went down with the ship. All of the resoued were in a pitiable con dition. The passengers were but hall clothed. Their few garments were frozen stiff, their hair coated with ice, and anxiety and effort had exhausted them so completely that they had to be helped ashore. Tfie officers and sailors were fully dressed but their clothes had been drenched and frozen and they had been almost paralyzed with cold and fatigue. They had been ashore three hours before they had recovered sufficiently to tell the story of the wreck. Their accounts agreed upon the following points:

Story of the Disaster.

The Elbe left Bremen on Tuesday afternoon. The few hours of the voyage before the disaster were uneventful. At 4 o'clock Wednesday morning the wind was blowing very hard and a tremendous sea was running. The morning was unusually dark. Numerous lights were seen in all directions, showing that manjr vessels were near by. The captain ordered, therefore, that rockets should be sent up at regular intervals to keep out of the Elbe's course. It was near 6 o'clock and the Elbe was some 50 miles off Lowestoft, coast of Suffolk, when the lookout man sighted a steamer of about 1,500 tons approaching. He gave the word and as a precaution the number of rockets was doubled «nd they were sent up at short intervals.

The Collision.

The warning was without effect. The steamer came on with unchecked speed, and before the Elbe could change her course or reduce her speed, there was a terrific crash of the collision. The Elbe was hit abaft her engine room. When the small steamer wrenched away, an enormous hole was left in the Elbe's side. The water poured tnrough aud down into the engine room in a cataract. The room filled almost instantly. The engines were still and the big hulk began to settle. The passengers were in bed. The bitter cold and rough sea had prevented an early rising, and none except the officers and crew on duty was on deck when the ship was struck.

Passengers in a Pnnlo.

The shock and crash roused everybody. The steerage was in a panic in a moment and men, women and children half dressed or in their night clothes came crowding up the companionways. They had heard the sound of rushing water as the other steamer backed off and had felt the Elbe lurch and settle. They had grasped the fact that it was then life or death with them, and almost to a man had succumbed to their terror. They clung together in groups, facing the cold and storm, and cried aloud for help or prayed on their knees for deliverence. The officers and crew were calm. For a few moments they went among the terror-stricken groups trying to quiet them and encouraging them to hope that the vessel might be saved. It was soon apparent, however, that the Elbe was settling Bteadily.

The officers were convinced

that she was about to founder and gave orders to lower the boats. Took to the Boats.

In a short time three boats were got alongside, but the seas were breaking over the steamer with great force, and the first boat was swamped before anybody could get into it. The other two boats, lowered at about the same time, were filled quickly with members of the crew and some passengers, but the number was small, as the boats held only twenty persons each.

Experience of the Survivors.

The boat carrying the twenty-two persons who were landed at Lowestoft put off in such haste from the sinking steamer that nobody in it noticed what became of the other boats. The sur-

•y

tossed about in the heavy seas for several hours before they sighted the Wildflower. The little smack bore down on them at once and took them aboard. They were exhausted from excitement and exposure. Several of them were in a state of collapse and had to be carried and dragged from one boat to the other. Miss Anna Buecker, the only woman in the party, was prostrated as soon as they got clear of the Elbe. She lay in the bottom of the boat for five hours, with the seas breaking over her and the water that had been shipped half covering her body. Although her her physical strength was gone, she showed true pluck, however, and did not utter a word of complaint and repeatedly urged her companions not to mind her, but to look after themselves. Hoffman's leg was hurt severely while he was changing boats. The survivors cannot say too much in praise of the Wildflower's crew, who gave them every possible attention.

Americana Aboard,

Among the passengers on board the ill-fated Elbe and who are supposed to be lost were the following Americans,

Mrs. Anton Plsoher, Washington, D. C.: John B.. Vinche, St. Charles, Mo. Mrs. M. C. Connors, South Dakota Messrs. Wlx, Schnell, Dueron, Ernst and Hearen, all of New York olty Jacob Prank, Buffalo, N. Y. Mrs. Sophia Rhodes and son Eugene. Washington, D. C. Mrs. Louise Kuhn, New York city Mrs. Anna Hoffman and son Henry, Grand Island Neb. Messrs. Lockhart and Islaub, New York city Ernst Maseberg, Louisiana Kurt Klein Schmidt, Helena. Mont. John Garllcher, Winona, Minn.

Waa Probablj the Crathie.

LONDON, Jan. 31.—A dispatch from Amsterdam says the steamer Crathie, from Rotterdam for Aberdeen, has returned to Maasluis with her stem stove in. Her captain reported that about 5 clock she collided with a vessel whose name he could not learn some 30 miles from the Hook of Holland. It is supposed that the Elbe is the steamer in question. The exact place of the collision is 47 miles southwest of the Hook lightship.

ADMINISTRATION BOND BILL.

Featuraa of the Measure as Agreed Upon by the Banking: Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The administration banking bill will be reported to the house from the committee on banking and currency in a much amended form and with a non-commit-tal recommendation that it be considered. The bill will be reported to the house Friday with the president's message. The amendments which the committee have recommended to the administration bill are as follows:

The bonds, whloh by the original bill were payable fifty years after date, are made payable at the pleasure of the United States after ten years from the date of their Issue, and are due fifty years after date. The section whloh requires the legal tender notes and treasury notes when redeemed In gold to be canceled and not reissued is amended by adding the following, offered by Mr. Russell: "Provldod, That the amount of such United States notes and treasury notes which may be canceled and retired shall not ezcoed in the aggregate an amount equal to the additional circulation taken out by national banks after the passage of this aot"

Section of the aot Is amended by adding, on motion of Mr. Haughen, the following: "And In lieu of all existing taxes every association shall pay to the treasury of the United States, in the months of January and July, a duty of one-eighth of 1 per cent each half year upon the average amount of the notes issued to it by the comptroller of the ourrenoy."

The fourth seotion of the bill, which provides that national bank notes of less denomination than $10 shall be retired and canceled, and an equal amount in donomfnations of #10 and upward shall be Issued in their places, and that silver certificates now outstanding larger thun $10 should be retired, and the silver certlflcatoH of denominations of less than $10 should be Issued in their stead, was strloken out, aB was section 6, which requires duty on Imports to be paid in gold ooln only.

Mr. Walker moved an additional section, to be known as section ft, which was agreed to as follows: "Section 5. That from and after July 1,1895, 10 per centum of the cash reserve required by law shall be kept in coin or ooln certificates, and not less than half of suoh ooln or coin certificates shall be In gold ooln or gold oertifioates, and suoh reserve required by law shall be kept In ooln or coin certificates in amount lnoreased by 10 per oent. of the whole cash reserve required to be kept by them on and after the first day of eaoh quarter of the calendar year until tho whole cash reserve shall be In ooln or ooln certificates, and not less than one-half of suoh cash reserve shall at all times be In gold coin or gold certificates."

MAY RECONSIDER.

Judge Grosscup to Look Over 'Authorities Submitted by Defenae in Deba Caae.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—In the Debs case Wednesday morning Judge Grosscup, at the request of the attorneys for the defense, consented to look over the authorities submitted by Attorney Gregory, bearing upon the admission of evidence by the government tending to show the connection of the American Railway union directors with the overt acts of the strikers. Judge Grosscup has already ruled'that such testimony is admissible, but it is possible though not probable that he may reconsider his ruling. The testimony in the forenoon was unimportant. Manager Mulford, of the Western Union Telegraph company, and a bunch of telegrams signed by Mr. Debs took up most of the time.

At the afternoon session W. T. Baker testified to being delayed for eleven days at Livingston, Mont., on account of the strike. A mail car was attached to the train detained. Other witnesses were called by the government to testify as to the detention of mail trains at various points. C. Dunlap, general superintendent of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific gave his personal knowledge of the delay of Rock Island trains. Mr. Dunlap was on the stand when court adjourned.

Recognized as a Lyncher.

O'NEILL, Neb., Jan. 31.—A sensation was developed Wednesday in the trial of the men charged with the lynching of Barrett Scott when Henry Schmidt, who drove the Scott rig the night of the attack, positively identified Moses Elliott as one of the attacking party, and partially identified others of the accused

SPREADING RAILS.

They Are the Cause of a Frightful Wreck on the Vandalia Road.

A LADY KILLED SEAR INDIANAPOLIS.

One of the Wounded is John W. Norton, Proprietor of the Grand Opera House St. Louis—Zelda Segutn Wallace Among the Injured.

at

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 29.—Vandalia train No. 2, due at Indianapolis at 2:35 Monday afternoon, was wrecked -'••t

Coatsville, 20 miles out. One person was killed and thirty-eight injured. The train was running at full speed and was about ten minutes late. It had just passed the town and was rounding a curve when the track spread.

Over an Embankment

The private car of President W. R. McKeen, which was in the rear, jumped the track. This was followed by the parlor car and then the ladies' car. All went off the track, the two rear cars going down the embankment 10 feet before the train could be stopped. The smoker left the track, but did not go over. The two rear cars caught fire, but were extinguished when the work of rescue began.

A Laiy Killed.

Mrs. W. S. Towers, of Carthage, Mo., was carried from the car and died while being taken to the school house, The injured were carried up the em bankmtjjit to houses on the north side of the track, and soon the townspeople and physicians gathered to give assistance.

Mrs. Wallace Badly Hurt.

Mrs. Zelda Seguin Wallace, the noted operatic singer, was among those seriously injured. Mrs. Wallace was one of the prominent operatic and concert singers in the United States, although latterly her appearances have been confined to the concert stage. She gained a national reputation as a member of the Hess, Emma Abbott and Duff opera companies for many seasons.

John W. Norton Fatally Injured.

John W. Norton, the widely RZIOWD proprietor of the Grand opera house, St. Louis, and manager of theaters also in Chicago and Pittsburgh, had his head badly crushed and is reported to be dying. ••Other Victims.

Anderson, Greenoastle. Ind., hurt about head Mrs. Pescus, Terre Haute, ribs broken. Internal Injuries.

A Scene of Horror.

The wreck and the cries of the injured and frightened passengers created a panic from which no one recovered for several minutes. Those in the day coach were the first to recover their self-possession and hastened to the relief of the victims. In the chair car they found the injurred passengers pinned down by a mass oi broken and twisted chairs, groaning in their agony. The

Btove

was

seen

to

be igniting the woodwork of the car, but a few pails of water extinguished the fire. Then the imprisoned dead and injured were extricated from under the heavy chairs. One of the eye-witnesses was President Swain, of the state university at Bloomington, who was one of the first to reach tho car where the victims lay.

The Cause.

The track was examined and it waa found that the guard rail of the switch just east of Coatesville broke, causing the accident. It is believed the engine started the break. President McKeen's car, which was occupied by his son, turned completely over, but was not damaged much, and no one was hurt. A relief train, with six surgeons on board, left here for the scene, and the injured are now in St. Vincent's hospital here.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.—John W. Norton, injured in the Vandalia wreck Monday afternoon, was 53 years old, and an actor and manager of theaters for thirty years. He was proprietor of the Grand opera house in this city at the time of his injury. Severe illness eight years ago forced him from the stage, and he appeared but once sinec. He was an instructor of dramatic art and brought out Mary Anderson, who. made her first appearance at. the Grand opera house, then De Bar's opera house, under his management. He was divorced from his wife, known as Emma Stockman, who eloped in 1888 with H. W. Moore, managing editor of the Post-Dispatch.

New Phase of David Jones' Case.

ELWOOD, Ind., Jan. 31.—The case of David T. Jones, the farmer residing near this city who has gone without sleep for 125 days and nights, has developed a new phase which, it is feared, will result in his death.
