Old sailors agree that the storm Saturday was the most severe that baa wept the lake in many years. To such a tempest as the memorable one of October last, in which tbe "Vernon perished, was added a most f nrious wind and an intensity of cold doubly litter from its suddenness, so that tidings of serious disasters are feared. During the period of storm, which continued from early yesterday morning until Ita last eight, the local shipping was in a stats of absolute inactivity. Not a vessel dared to put out, and cone were able to make the harbor. At the life-saving station the watch was unremitting. From tbe summit of the look-out a steady scrutiny was maintained over the boiling waters, while the shore patrols, both north and south, tramped tbe entire night with their flaming flambeaus or guiding beacons. At tbe first gleam of daylight, this morning, tugs ventured to the mouth of the river on tbe lookout for vessels. The schooner Ida was the first to appear. She put out on Fndav night from Chicago, bound for Whitehall, Mich. Being unable to ran against the heavy storm, the schooner tamed end put into this port. About 6 o'cloctc the waves piled so high that the scuppers were inadequate to carry off the water that covered the dck as high as the ra iL A party of seamen, equipped with axes, cut a bole through the port bulwark, in order that tbe water might be drained from the submerged deck. A Norwegian named Gabrielsen climbed to the quarter deck to examine some loos rigging, when a gigantis wave fell upon tbe decks like a cataract, and he was borne away before the eyes of his mates. Nothing could be done to save him in such a sea, and the ship plunged on through the storm. Gabrielsen lived in Whitehall, where he leaves a widow and child. The seboonnr Susie S. Cbipman, from Lndington. Mich . laden with lumber, lost part of ber cargo, and time and again her crew had to resort to the life lines to save themselves from a fate similar to Gabrielsen'.

BAMBERGER, 16 East Washington St. TUB PEOFESSOR OP MATHEMATICS. The Love cf One of Yassar's Faculty That the Girls Call Romance. . New York, Nov. 20. No person has been more closely identified with Vassar College than Mies Prisciila Braislin, and no one has made a stronger or more favorable impression. Prof. Braislin alone shared with Prof. Maria Mitehell the honor of having been continuously in the college since it3 organization in 1SG5, and for over ten years she has held tbe important place of professor of mathematics. Each graduating class has regarded Miss Braislin as the impersonation of their alma mater, and for very many years the interest in the favorite professor has been heightened by the tradition, passed fro m class to class, that there was a sad romance in her life, and that just before her connection with the college she had been crossed in love. The man, it was said, who had alone gained ber affections had for some reason broken off tbe engagement and ma rried another lady. Whatever truth there might be in the story, the brightness and sunshine in wbich the college life of tbe professor of mathematics was ever enveloped proved that tbe episoa, whatever it was, had not soured the heart of Miss Braislin, or in any way lessened her sympathies wilh the youne people who came and went through the classic balls of Vassar while she remained. Of these hundreds of young people, none were of more interest to Professor Braislin than two sisters, the daughters of Mr. Timothy Merrick, of Holyoke, who were in the class of '3. They were tbe daughters of Mr. Merrick's second wife, and their mother died in the winter of 18S3. Strange to say, tbe college traditions fixed on the father of the Misses Merrick as tbe man who figured in Miss Brais'.in's early romance. At all events, the two young students from Hoi joke became dearer and dearer to Professor Braislin, and that the latter became very dear to tbeir father has been pretty well established by tbe little ceremony which has just taken place at her brother's ho use in Brooklyn. At the close of the commencement at Vassar last June it was whimpered that a vacancy was likely to occur in the chair of tbo professor of mathematics, but it was not until a few weeks ago, when the college was reopened, that it became generally known than in future Professor Braislin would only be a bright memory and inspiration in tbe history of alma mater. A committee was then appointed to prepare a wedding present, and a beautiful vase, which Mrs. Merrick exhibits with much pride, was the result. Mr. Merrick is a fine looking, well-preserved man of sixty. He is one of the wealthiest and most distinguished citizens of Holyoke, and is known all over the country as the bead of the Merrick Thread Company. Be has a family of seven children by his former wives, four sons and three daughters, - the eldest of whom. Miss Tina Merrick, was present at the wedding. When the honeymoon trip is brought to a close Mr. and Mrs. Merrick will settle down at Elm wood, near Holyoke, where Mr. Merrick has a fine residence. The Diffusion saear Process. New Orleans. Nov. 20. At the government's diffusion experiment station on Warmouth Magnolia plantation, a preliminary test was made, Friday, on sixteen sticks of sugar-cane. The cutters worked reasonably well, and with a lktle alteration, made yesterday, will run admirably. Tbe diffusion batteries worked to tbe entire satisfaction of the experimenters No special effort was made to get an extraordinarily good extraction, but 03 per cent, of the sugar in the cane was obtsined, which percentage, with the cane used polarizing 13 6-10 will give a yield of 220 pounds of sngar per ton. The carbonization process will probably not begin for a weeK. J. & Mans, president of the Dudley Sugar Company, of Dudley, Kan.; E. W.

Stout, a stucco-worker, living on Pike street, Allegheny Citv, shot his son Adolph throngh the back and then attempted suicide. Adolph died almost instantly. The cause of the tragedy was domestic trouble. Stout and his wife frequently quarreled, and the son AdolDh. it is said, took his mother's part. At the time of the shooting. Adolph, who was twentv years of age, was playing en the floor with a vounger brother. His father entered tbe room from a rear door and fired tbe fatal shot while the young man's back was turned. Tbe father then placed the revolver to bis own breast and fired, but the bullet glanced off tbe ribs end only made a flesh wound. He tried to shoot again, but was overpowered by a policeman who was attracted to the house by the noise. He was arrested and is now in jaiL Engineer and Fireman Killed Stsubenville, O., Nov. 20.

TERRIBLE OCEAN DISASTER

One Hundred and Forty Lives Lost by a Collision in the English Channel. Steamers W. A. Scholten and Rosa Mary Crash Together in a Dense Fog-, and the Former Sinks in Less than Twenty Minutes. Three Boats Prove Useless and the Sapply of Life Preservers Insufficient. Officers of the Rosa Mary Claim Their Vessel Was at Anchor and Was Ran Into by the Scholten Scenes of Fanic and Confusion. A DEADLY CRASH. Tito Ocean Steamers Collide and One Hundred and Forty Ltves Are Lost. Special to the IndlanaooMs Journal. London, Nov. ' 20. The Netherlands-line steamship W. A. Scholten, which sailed from Rotterdam for New York yesterday, came into collision, ten miles off Dover, at 10 o'clock last night, with the steamer Rosa Mary, and sank almost immediately. The Scholten bad on board passengers and crew to the number of 230, and of these only ninety are known to have been saved. Of the remaining 140, twentyseven have been landed at Dover, dead, and fears are entertained that the others were also lost, though a few of them may have been picked up by passing vessels. As soon as the news of the disaster reached Dover vessels were sent to the rescue, but it does not as ye?aopear that, with tbe exception of tbe ninety persons rescued and brought here by the steamer Ebro, any lives have been save J. Tbe steamer Rosa Mary is lying off Ramsgate, with her bows badly stove and her timbers strained. The heads of the Scholten's masts are visible above the water from the Dover pier. - A donse fog prevailed when the collision occurred, and the Scholten was moving at half speed. No warning of the collision was given, the sudden shock of the contact on the port bow having been the first intimation to the officers of the Dutch steamer of the proximity of another vessel. The officers of the Scholten deny that the passengers on board the steamer were in bed, but it is the fact, nevertheless, that most of . them rushed upon the deck in their night clothes immediately after the collision. As soon as the extent of the damage to the vessel was ascertained the order was given to lower the boats. The 6hip carried five boats, but only two of them were available, tbe other three being unssaworthy. Tbe two sound boats were lowered, and at the same time it was reported on deck that the ship was mak-. lag water rapidly, and must soon go down. The sceres which followed this announcement : terrible beyond description. Shrieks, prayers, groans ' and curses mingled with the hoarse voices of the officers giving orders, and the cries of children clinging to tbeir mother's skirts, rendered still more heart-rending the terror-laden shrieks of the latter. Tbe officers displayed admirable coolnesB and remained on the bridge and at other posts of duty until the last, several of them, who were provided with life-beits, remaining until the vessel settled and leaping into tbe sea as she went down. Within twenty minutes after the two ships came together the Scholten was at the bottom of the channel. All of the passengers and crew who bad been fortunate enough to procure life belts floated and were picked up by the Ebro's boats, wbich cruised about until 4 o'clock this morning. There is scarcely a persons among the rescued passengers who does not mourn the loss of a wife, husband, brother, sister, or child, and in some cases only cne member of alarge family is found to have been saved. The survivors were supplied with clothing by the officers and crew of the Ebro as far as possible, and additional garments were furnished to the unfortunates upon tbeir arrival at Dover. There is a considerable dissrepahey between the statements of the passengers and those of the officers of the Scholten, as there is also between the latter and the officers of the Rosa Mary. The officers of tbe Rosa Mary declare that their vessel was lying at 'anchor when struck by the Scholten, while the second mate of the latter avers that he was on deck when tbe collision occurred and saw the Rosa Mary come through the fog and strike the Scholten in the fore-rigging. Tbe captain of the Rosa Mary corroborates the statements of bis officers, and stoutly declares the counter-statements of the Scholten's officers to be incorrect. Tbe Rosa Mary, he says, was anchored just southeast of South Sandbead when tbe Scholten struck ber. Finding that his vessel was considerably damaged, he made for Dover roads, where he dropped anchor and made suitable provisions for keeping the ship afloat, being still unaware of the full extent of ber injuries. It is stated that a mackerel boat, just arrived at Hastings, reports that a steamer ran across and damaged her nets in the early part of last night, and that the mackerel boat gave chase to the vessel in the hope of identifying ber and claiming compensation. While chasing the steamer the crew of the mackerel boat saw her run into the Scholten. A color of truth is given to tbe story by the fact that fragments of fishing nets were found on the bows of the Rosa Mary. The Saved and Lost. London. Nov. 20. Tbe following is a list of the persons saved and landed at Dover: Passengers Sarah Zuberman, Caroline Muller, Carl Muller, Svett Catzolime, Fred Stepney, Sara Gold, Maria Stelzer, T.

According to the latest statement there were 210 persons on board the Scholten, leaving 132 drowned and missing. The first mite and fourth . engineer hove been recognized among the dead. Among the bodies identified at Dover are these of Mrs. Lebenstein, Henri Blanc. Burstig Friedmaun, Silomar Goldschmidt and John Kceule. Of the erw the bodies of Peter Steilberr, chief mate; Duct, second steward, and Mrs. flak, chief stewardess, have been identified. Tbe bodies are distorted, showing that death was caused by violence, and not by drowning. Among tbe bodies landed at Dover are the following: A women with a letter addressed, 'Hnrront, Rue St Gilles. Brussels;" Goldschidt. a cigar dealer of London; a man with linen

marked "Jacket;" a Jew with a letter addressed 'Lebenstein Hermann, 108 Stanton street. New York;" a man with a letter addressed 4 'John Kochnel, Sandusky;" Henri Blanc, of Oh io, the sole cabin passenger; Friedmaun, a merchant of Kowal. The other bodies are mostly those of females. The engineer, after being in the water three hours, was rescued and landed at New Haven. Lgenking C Frelich and A. Hamerton were saved. Tbe body of Rive Bell has been identified. - The quays at Dover were crowded throughout the day with people who had come to watch the recovery of the bodies. No bodies were recovered during the morning, because the tide was running to the eastward, but many were brought back with the ebb. Darkness prevented the recovery of more bodies, but many boats and tnga have put to sea on the ehanee of picking np others in the morning. Many of those whose bodies have been recovered look as if they bad been frozen to death. The News at Jfetv York. New York, Nov. 20. The only information thus far received by the New York agents of tbe Netherlands line concerning the loss of the W. A. Scholten is a cablegram stating that the vessel was sunk io collision with an unknown steamer off Dover; that Captain Taal, several of the officers - and crew, and many passengers were probably drowned, and that about fifty were reported saved by another steamer. Among these reported saved was Mr. Genken, assistant manager of the line, in New York, who is abroad on a pleasure trio. Mr. Edye, oneof the agents of the line, was seen at his home. He said that this was Capt. Taal's first trip in command of the Scholten. He was an experienced captain, but had had one or two mishaps before. The Scholten was a first c'ass Clyde bnilt steamship, thirteen years old, net tonnage 1,710, and valued at about $250,000. She had accommodations for sixty cabin, forty intermediate and five hundred steerage passengers. Sbe probably had a miscellaneous cargo of dry goods, gin, herring, Rhein wines, etc. ON THE WRECK AND IN THE WATER The Story of the Disaster Graphically Told by Some of the Survivors. Loxdo5T,Nov. 20. One of those saved from the Scholten is Mont Colio, from tbe Tyrol. He states that the scenes on the sinking ship were terrible. The steerage passengers, stricken with terror, ran about tbe deck in wild confusion. The captain tried bis utmost to restore order, but without effect.. The passengers rushed fcr the boats, and it was with the greatest difficulty that the officers could keep them from jnmpiog into and sinking tbem. Colio was in the water two hours. When taken out he was greatly exhausted, owing to the extreme cold and bis efforts to keep afloat After the vessel sunk the cries of persons in the water could be' beard for a long time in all directions. George Moore, a passenger, states that when the crash occurred a general rush was made for the deck. "I was told that nothing serious bad occurred," be said, "but I secured a life belt. There were six English passengers on board the vessel, and one of these, a girl, asked us to keep in a group, so that the English might go down together. I was in the water a long time before being picked' up. When the Scholten sank the cries were heartrending. The captain of the Ebro, the rescuing vessel, behaved nobly. He bad all his deck-load of timber thrown overboard, and this judicious act saved many lives. Only two of the Scholten's boats were lowered; the others could not be go, adrift. I do not know whether this was due to any fault on board. The vessel listed over so much that all the boats could not be dropped into the water. The people rushed about iu the greatest state of excitement, all trying to get a plaee in the two beats which bad been successfully lowered. The ecpre and disorder prevented many persons being aved "The waur ws freesCug cold. This hastened the death of many, rendering them powerless " Charles Mills, of Red Hill, Surrey, says the life-boats appeared as if tbey had not been used for a long time. They had to be ehopned away with axes, with the assistance of passengers. "I called out to those on tbe bridge to fire rockets, but it was a long time before they did. The greatest confusion prevailed. The ship was right over on her port side before they fired the rockets. I waited nntil the water touched the boilers, putting out the fires. Then I got bold of a belt, but a Dutch sailor snatched it away. We were all mixed together, foreigners and English clinging to one another in the water. I saw several drowned in tbis way, and bad the greatest difficulty to . keep clear of them. I gave a spar to a woman to bold on to. Tbe Dutch sailors wanted to save themselves, and even thrust women aside. I can swim well, and I swam about nntil I got to tbe Ebro, where a ropo was thrown to me.. After the collision I went down into the cabin and awoke two Dutch lediea, but they were paralyzed with terror, and would not get up, despite all entreaties. I beard otder complaints about tbe conduct of the Dutch sailors. Tbe confusion was extreme. Everybody seemed terror-stricken. This rosy account for the apparent want of discipline. Tbe frantic passengers unnerved some of the crew, preventing them from acting as bravely as they might have done. Tbe captain did his best to restore order. I believe a good look-out was kept, and we had our lights up." Mr. Appleby, one of the passengers saved, said: "1 was in mv berth, as also were many others, when the crash came. I immediately rnhed on dck, followed by a confuaea crowd. Upou first reaching the deck I dtd not think anything much wa-j the matter until I saw that the port bow was stove in close to the rigging and laid open for a great space. Tbe passengers soon crowded the deck, and the captain and officers shouted that all the boats be lowered. The vessel was th?n settling down by the head, and the excitement was at its worst. I had hardly time to look aronnd me before tbe vessel listed over on ber port side, throwing the passengers and crew together on that side of the ressel. Most of the boats were then worthless. Two boats on the port side were then swung out and lowered, but the other six were useless. While the sailors were endeavoring to lower the boats tbe passengers hindered them by rushing frantically against them. The crew tried to keep the passengers back, thus losing valuable time. When the boats were finally lowered there was a rush to get into them. I tried, too, but did not stand a chance. Then I decided to trust to a life belt. The scene on the deck was anpalling. The passengers and crew were crowded together, and the shrieks of tbe women, the cries of the children and the shouts of the men were frightful Some of the passengers were on their knees praying. When the Seholten sank beneath our feet there was a struggle in the icy water. Most of us bad life-belts. Sarah Gold. Stepney, Robson and I kept together. We clung to each other and drifted toward the Ebro, finally reaching that vessel. The second officer declares that everv precaution had been taken on board tbe Scholten. A good look-out was kept, and Capt. Taal not only had the ordinary watch on the bridge at tbe time of the disaster, but all the officers intended to remain there till the vessel was fairly down tbe channel. Tbe Captain was last seen at his post, trying to quiet the passengers and get the boats off. The Rosa Mary sustained extensive damage and was only kept afloat by her water-tight bulkheads. An officer of the Scholten states that the Rosa Mary was carrying no side lights, but was showing the usual masthead lights to indicate that she was lying at anchor. They steered down the channel, leaving her sufficient room to pass clear. When they drew near they found that she was steaming ahead atd making right onto them. They tried to signal her off, but it was too late. She struck the Scholten on the port bow, ripping oft plates some distance and exposiug the interior. Tbe bole thus made extended below the water line. Tbe officers of the Roa Mary aver that they were lying at anchor and were run into. They say that tbey did not weigh anchor until morning. It is reported that tbe captain of tbe Rosa Mary denies tbe statement that his vessel was in colhssion with tbe W. A. Scholten. He avers that the Rosa Mary was injured by a collision with another vessel while lying at anchor. Dr. Ayme. of New York, the Scholten's surgeon, is of opinion that the Rosa Mary had just weighed anchor, and that the crew bad forgotten to put no the side lights. He says tbat many of those saved by tbe Ebro were paralyzed with cold, and were with difficulty resuscitated. When be last saw Captain Taal the latter was standing on the bridge trying to prevent the steerage passengers from besieging tbe boats. The break in tbe ship's side was aft of the bulkhead, and was eight feet wide. The unserviceable boats which were cut away possibly floated when he steamer sank. Capt. Taal of tbe W. A. Scholtn had only recently been appointed to tbe command of that Teasel, succeeding Captain Boujer.

GREVY WIEL NOT BE COERCED

The French President Declares He Will Not Yield to the Present Agitation. In Case'IIe Finds It Impossible to Form a New Ministry, Ha Will Request the Senate to Dissolve the Chamber of Deputies.

THE FRENCH CKISIS. Under No Circumstances Will President Grevy Consent to Resign. Epecial to tbe Indiananolis Journei. Paris, Nov. 20. A meeting of the independent Depnties of tbe Left was held to-day, at which MM. Brisson, Lockroy, Ribot, Sadi-Carnot and Goblet were present It was decided not to participate in the action proposed by the plenary conference of the groups of the Lert, unless the programme tbe conference had previously agreed upon should be. dropped. La Repnblique states that M. Grevy haa assured M. De Freycinet that he will not, under any circumstances, yield to the present agitation for his resignation, but if he should find it impossible to form a Ministry be would ask the Senate to dissolve the Chamber. This done, he would address the country through a message to Parliament, and retire from office, but he would not permit himself to be coerced into retirement by tbe noise of the rabble. 31- Goblet was summoned to the Elysee by President Grevy, this evening, and asked ' to form a Ministry. He stated that be was not tben in a position to give a definite answer to the President's request, but required time in which to study the situation. Clemenceau Summoned by the President. Paris, Nov. 20. M. Grevy to-night summoned M. Clemenceau to an interview at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning on the subject of the latter's undertaking to form a government. The summoning of M. Clemenceau by the President is taken to indicate tbat the latter will speedily resign. M. Clemenceau publicly declared, on Satarday, that M. Grevy could only retain his ofSce in tbe event of his finding a responsible politician to form a Cabinet under his presidency. The Attitnde or the President. Pari Special to New Tort World. Ferdir and Zau, one of the best reporters of Paris, gives an account of the utterances of Grevy. Zau says: "We said a long time ago that the President of the French repulio would not resige. Events sinee have confirmed our assertions. We can affirm to-day that Grevy persists in bis resolution. He has declared to his personal friends tbat it is no longer Wilson's case. That is for the courts to determine. Bat that the overt campaign is directed against the republic and the executive power, which he regards as in his keeping. Tbe President possesses an iron wilL He is slow in action, but is unchangeable when once his mind is made up. Tbe other day he said: 'I am eighty-four years old, and there can happen to me no greater misfortune than this one wbich 1 have just experienced, I will not yield even before force.' The President believes that tbe question is purely political.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal London, Nov. 20. The enormous crowd which attended the meeting io Hyde Park to-day was unexpectedly orderly and also astonishingly well appearing. Tbe speakers took especial pains to guard against disorder by advising their bearers to commit no act of violence, but to trust to their leaders to fight the battle to the bitter end in the House of Commons. The crowd, as a whole, displayed an air of respectability surpassing that of any gathering of similar character and purpose assembled in London for many years, and the few policemen present had practically nothing to da These were stationed near tbe stand, and apparently for the purpose of reminding tbe crowd of tbeir presence and functions, rather than that of quelling disorder, for there were not enongh of tbem, bad the crowd been turbulent. The scene was a weird one. tbe crowd being packed closely around the stands, with upturned faces, and its outer fringe lost to view from a central point in the dense fog tbat overhung tbe park. Not more than half of those present eould get within hearing of the speakers, but the remote ones appeared to be satisfied with the patent fact tbat tbev held a meeting without molestation. The crowd marched to the park in sections, to the musie of fife and drum, and carrying banners inscribed "Home Rule," "No Coercion," etc., and were generally orderly. There was at first some disposition to hoot the police, but the speakers quickly repressed the noisy ones and the meeting proceeded quietly. Resolutions were adopted denouncing Sir Charles Warren and Home Secretary Matthews, and the crowd sang, to tbe tune of "John Brown's Bodr," a local criticism of General Warren, whicb created intense enthusiasm and much merriment. Resolutions were also passed protesting against the imprisonment of Mr. O'Brien and bis compatriots. Trafalgar square was crowded with well dressed and curious people, wbo had come to see whether the promised Radical deputation in quest of evidence upon wbich to base legal action against the police would make their appearance, and. if so, whether they would be furnished with the unmistakable evidence received by their brethren last Sunday. There were no soldiers to be seen anywhere around the square, but regular and special constables were plentiful everywhere. On the whole, the police may congratulate themselves on havin j scored a victory, the greater becanse it was whrjiy a moral one, and the likelihood of a repetition of the scenes of last Sunday is very remote. The police were not so numerous as 1 ast Sunday, though they were in sufficient force to prevent anv disorder. One thousand special constables were packed around tbe sqnare early in the forenoon, with instructions to' make no attempt to exclude the general public but to prevent processions or solid bodies of people from entering. A large force of mounted police was stationed in the streets debouching upon the square, and a reserve force 5,000 strong was bld in readiness ia the police yard. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon there was an immense crowd in the sqnare, as well as in tbe streets leading to it, but the people were kept moving by the police, and no disorder occurred. A few roughs were arrested for resisting the police, but the crowd finally dispersed, about 5:30, without giving the poliee tbe slightest trouble. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS.
