SUNK AT SEA.

The Story of the Survivors of the Steamship State of Florida,

In Collision With a Bark, Both Are Sunk With Loss of Life.

Both Vesselg Disappear in a Few Minutes Carrying Down 135 Persons.

The Terrible Scenes on Board the Wrecked Steamer—Thirty-Five Hours In the Small Boats.

FRATHEKPOINT, Que., May 7.—The steamship Titania, from Glasgow, passed inward this morning. She has on board twenty-four of the crew of the steamship state of Florida, that vessel having been sunk by collision with a bark in mid-ocean. Out of 167 persons on the State of Florida only forty-four were saved, and of the bark's crew only the captain and two men were rescued. One hundred and twenty-three sonls went down with the steamer and twelve with the bark, making a total IOSB of 135. The survivors will probably be landed at Que bee.

NEW YORK, N. Y., May 7.—The dis tance from Fartherpoint to Quebec where the steamer Titania with the crew of the wrecked State of Florida is expected to land, being near three hundred miles, makes it doubtful whether particulars of the disaster can be learned until a late hour to-night, Austin Baldwin & Co., general agents of the State Steamship company, ceived a dispatch, a duplicate of the one received by the associated press. It is as follows: "FAHTIIERFOINT, Quebec, May 7. The steamship Titania, inward bound, has on board twenty-four of the crew of the steamship State of Florida. The latter collided with a bark in midocean and went right down. Out of 167 souls only forty-four were Baved, if the other twenty have also been picked up. The bark also went down with twelve souls. The survivors will be landed at Quebec to-night."

The dispatches are not inconsistent with the report made by the city of Rome, that the ship which signalled her in mid ocean had on boara a portion of the crew of State of Forida, but on the other hand, corroborates that story, and lead to the conclusion that the twenty not picked up by the Titania were rescued by another ves«el. Agents cannot account for the collision, as the seamen of the State of Florida were well trained, and the officers, from captain down, experiencod and -oarefal.

The State of Florida left New York for Glasgow on April 12, at 9 a. m. She carried thirty-five cabin and fiftv steerage passengers. The officers and men numbered eighty.

The State of Florida is registeied as 371 feet long, 28.5 feet beam, 28.8 feet depth of hold. She had three iron .lecks, two compound engines of 450 nominal power, and a register of 3,158 tons. She was built on the Clyde in 1875, at the Liverpool and Glasgow Engineering and Shipbuilding Works, for the Queen's Shipping company, and was at first named the Queen Margaret. Before she made a voyage, however, she was purchased by the State Line and her name changed to the State of Florida. This was her thirty-second voyage. She had met With only one accident, which occurred od November 1, off Fire Island, when she svas in collision with the threemasted schooner J. F. Campbell, at two o'clock in the morning. Captain Sadler has been in the service of the State Line since it began, and this was his first voyage as captain of the State of Florida. He was captain of the State of Indiana for a number of years, and also of the State of Virginia.

The total value of the cargo was $102,012.87. QUEBEC, May 7.—The awful suspense that prevailed here all day with regatd to the survivors of the disaster of the ill-fated ship, State of Florida, was relieved to-night by the arrival of tJje Donaldson Bteamer Titania from Glasgow for Montreal. The Titania was DOarded by press representatives who gleaned the names from the saved and some of ihe thrilling particulars of the disaster. The captain of the Titania reports that on May 5th at 9 p. m. while proceeding np the gulf and off Bird Rocks he observed a ship exhibiting two bright lights and thinking she wished communication bore down upon her and took off twenty-four passengers and the crew, rescued from the State of Florida, of •Glasgow. The steamship City of Rome, passed them while on board the ship Louisa, and answered their signals, but did not stop. The following is the official report of the third officer of the Florida: Left New^.ork 12th of April with about 167 passengers and crew full, general cargo. All wet£ well until the night of the 18th at 11:30 when we came in collision with fhfl bark Ponema of Chatham, New jBrunswick. Both ships went down jajmost at once, and out of the steamer's passengers and crew only forty*mr, including the stewardess, raanto escape in boats, and out of the ^U crew, of fifteen only, the capURrK O nroya QOVPrl NAY

This third officer James Allen being interviewed added that the night on -which the disaster occurred was clear though moonless alid the sea smooth as glass. He retired to his bunk at S o'clock, leaving chief officer Thompson in charge of the deck. About 11:10 he heard signals suddenly given to stop the ships engines, followed by a fearful crash. He rushed immediately on deck and the first thing he noticed was the red light pretty close on their star-board bow. At the same moment he heard tbe chief oflicer •voice and the cry of "collision. He perceived the bark which had run into them go down. His bark lie afterwardslearned from the captain and two of its crew who were picked up and saved, was the Patiema, of Chatham, N.

In the morning when they were picked up the bottom of the boat had to be broken through to get him out, when he presented a horrible appearance from his long exposure to the waves and lack of fresh air. A few days afterwards however, he got all right again. During the thirty-five hours they were afloat they had not a drop of water to drink, and were beginning to feel all the horrors of extreme thirst when rescued by the bark Theresa, of the kindness of whose officers, and the crew of the Samoa, of Cardiff, and the Pitania, the survivors all speak in the highest terms of gratitude and praise.

THE NEVADA AND ROMANO.

Sinking of the tatter in Collision on Monday—No Lives Lost. ST. JOHNS, N. B., May 7.—Capt. Bremer, of the steamship Nevada of the Guton line, gives the following additional particulars of the collision with the Romano on Monday, the 15th inst, at noon: In latitude 42 degrees, 50 minutes, longitude 47 degrees, 25 minutes, while on our way from New York to Liverpool, four days out, we collided with the Romano, of Hull, belonging to the Wilson line. We struck the ship on the port side, abaft the midships, bursting into the engine room. The Romano sunk in less than an hour.

Her passengers and crew came on board in their own boats. It was calm at the time, with a heavy swell.

of Grant & Ward Said to Have Been Unnecessary—Ward on Deck Yesterday.

NEW YOHK, N. Y., May 7.—Ferdinand Ward, of Grant & Ward, is at his office to-day. It is stated that a large amount of outstanding loans of the firm were settled after business hours last evening.

Manager Camp, of the clearing house, states that there are no new developments in the Marine bank failure, but the situation is not nearly so bad as at first supposed. It is now stated on excellent authority that President Fish exhibited undue haste in closing the doors of the bank, and the directois would not have consented to his action had they been made aware of the exact status of affairs. The same is said to be true of Grant & Ward, a failure, which, it is claimed, was brought about by Ward remaining away from business and practically losing his head.

The president and directors of the Marine bank are in secret session. An official states it is more than probable that the bank will come out all right. Deposits are being paid in full.

Conservative brokers say the effect of yesterday's failures was very much over-estimated, so far as the stock exchange is concerned, but believfe it may induce some out of town selling by weak holders. It is reported that several large bear operators took advantage of the decline yesterday to cover up shorts and expressed a de-

John F. 81ater.

NORWICH, Conn., May 7.—John F. Slater, who gave $1,000,000 for educational purposes in the Bouth, died this morning. [Mr. Slater, who has been widely known, principally through the report of his munificence above noted, was also a noted man in his locality. His nncle, Samuel Slater, may be called the father of the cotton spinning business in this country, having designed the first successful cotton machinery ever used here and made the first cotton sewing thread ever manufactured in the world. Mr. Slater, besides the gift that made him famous, was one of the founders of the Norwich Free Academy, twenty-five years ago, and has since befriended it by provisions for scientific apparatus and contributions to its endowment.

RICHMOND, Ray County, Mo., May| 6.—Charley Ford, one of the notorious Ford brothers, celebrated throughout I the length and breadth of the the land as the slaygrs of Jesse James, the bandit king, committed suicide at his father's residence, about a mile from Richmond, this morning. He died almost instantly, without making statement of the cause of his suicide, but it may be set down as a combination ot causes, chief of which were ill-health and a general dis-| gust with life, said disgust being the natural result of dissipation and I fast living.
