EIDDLED WITH SLUGS Til REG KILLED ASD FOUR FATALLY woraoED nv ax italiax. The Giordano Family Almost Annihilated by a Marderoai Workman on a Louisiana. Plantation NEW) ORLEANS, July 21.-Last Friday night, on the Terr Haute plantation, in St. John's Parish, a terribU butchery of human beings took place. While Rosarlo Giordano and his family vrere seated at the supper table, Joe Noski walked up to the door, nnd leveling a double-barreled shotgun, fired. Mrs. Giordano fell to the floor a, corpse, and the bullets that did not go through hei) went through both legs of the four-months'-old infant she held In her arms. Giordano, fearing that the tender babe would be killed In the fall, sprang forward to clasp It, and the assassin then fired again. Tha buckshot entered the groin and leg of Mary Giordano. The ten-year-old little girl, on seeing her mother fall, ran forward and received a portion of the load of buckshot that struck her father. The shot entered her abdomen, literally tearing It to pieces. At the same time little Xlcolana fell to the floor wounded through the head. The assassin, Joe Noska, did not move from the spot, but when he saw Beneditto Giordano, a nephew of the dead woman, and Charley Colurabano, coming toward him, he coolly placed two fresh shells in his gun and waited until they got very close to him. Then he raised the gun and fired both barrels, the two men falling dead. Then the murderer made his escape to the woods. When the citizens ascertained the extent of the deed, they organized a posse, and. led by the sheriff, attempted to capture the assassin. The wounded were brought to the Charity Hospital in this city. They are: Koiarlo Giordano, the unfortunate head of the family, aged thirtyfour, shot In the left thigh; Mary Giordano, aged ten. shot in tho abdomen, the bullets perforating the bladder and intestines: N'lcolana Giordano, aged seven, shot In the corner of the eye, the bullet penetratlnthe skull: Joseph Giordano, aged fou? months, shot in both legs and in the head. Th4? two. little Giordano girls at the hos pital will die: the father and the four-months-old baby will recover. The assassin has not yet been captured. Mr. Gloardano says ho does not know how he had offended Noska. who was a laborer on the place, except, that on one occasion the overseer, who is a friend, told the man to qo some chores. Giordano, however, had nothlns: to do with this. Giordano had been living on the plantation with his family for the past few yeaur. Last October Noska (or Ganaste) came from New York to work on the plantation. He Is a married man and lived with his wife and two children on the place. The assassin and the wounded man had never had any trouble whatever, and no 111 feeling, as far as the wounded man knew, existed between them. RELICS OF GLACIAL MAN. .Mne Prehistoric Skeletons Fonnil In a Xevrly-Opened Oblo Mound. FRANKFORT, O.. July 21. W. K. Moorehead, curator of the -State University museum, made scjne important discoveries In the ancient mounds near here duriDg the past week. One mound, which he opened, contained nine skeletons buried two feet below the surface in a layer of gravel. Tho tones are those of ehort, heavy, muscular men. The skulls are thick and rather round and the facial angle Is low. Several skulls glvo evidence of artificial flattening of the bese during infancj. No skeletons found in Ohio present a more Inferior tribe physically. in other gravel knolls about this place Mr. Moorehead discovered further evidence of burials of similar character. Arrow heads, axes, copper bracelets an1 various ornnments lay by nearly every skeleton.

ALIBI WILL SOT STAND

IIOLMES'S FRAXKLIX WIFE SAYS IT CAXXOT BE PROVED DY HER, ( She Will Do All She Can to Convict Ilim, and Will Seek a Divorce It the Hangman Fails Uer. HAD TWO MORE VICTIMS DEATH OF 3IHS. COXXOR AND DAUGU. TER CHARGED TO THE FIEND. They Were Under Ills Protection In Chicago, and Suddenly Disappeared Early in ISO 3. Information from a most reliable source, received last night, U to the effect that Mrs. Georglnana Howard, wife of Holmes, alias Howard, alias Mudgett, the confessed insurance swindler, now Imprisoned In Philadelphia, and the alleged butcher of Pietzel, his three children and Minnie Williams, has turned against her husband, and that she is ready to give evidence which, will do much in securing a conviction. Mrs. Howard, whose former namo 1 was Miss Yoke, of Franklin, stopped for a short time in the city en route for the East. While here ehe was besieged by reporters and correspondents, who vainly attempted to learn from Jier the meaning of her trip. She was reticent, but nevertheless It has come to light that she was going to Philadelphia to tell all she knows of the monster Holmes, and sctne of her testimony will conflict with that given by Holmes. When Mrs. Howard (for she understood Holmes's name to be Howard at the time of the marriage) was a witness in the trial of Holmes for swindling the Insurance companies she promised the prosecutor that If needed she would come, and her trip there was in fulfillment of that promise. To an intimato friend In this city Mrs. Howard is credited with saying that she Is now firmly convinced that her husband is a murderer and a scoundrel, and that she had determined to have nothing further to do with him, and, furthermore, she proposed to render the authorities all the ajd possible In bringing him to Justice. The disappearance of the Pietzel children cud the subsequent finding of their bodies at Toronto convinced Mrs. Howard that her husband was a murderer, for he had the care of the children, and he was known to have taken them to Toronto. Until recent ' developments there was some doubt In her mind about hit guilt as a murderer, for, knowing him, she could not realize that it was possible. The developments after his arrest for swindling the insurance companies convinced her, however, that he was a villain of rare degree. To those who have followed tho incidents of the case It will be remembered that Holmes, after the finding of the bodies of the Pietzel children in the cellar at Toronto, claimed that he knew nothing of their deaths, as he could prove an alibi, for at the time they are alleged to have been murdered he was hundreds of miles from Toronto, In company -with his wife. Mrs. Howard. Mrs. Howard's testimony will ruin all hopes Holmes may have of proving n alibi b-y her, for Holmes was not with her at the time the two children were slaughtered, and she has no knowledge of where he was. The manner of Mrs. Howard while in th! city was such as to Indicate Intense antipathy for her husband, and there is little doubt but what she can give evidence which will serve as links to the chain with which Holmes Is being secured. Were it not for the fact that Mrs. Howard has no residence In this State ehe would secure a divorce from the monstrous man to whom sho Is bound. Mrs. Howard lacks a year and a half of securing this residence, but she believes that before that time Is passed her hsuband will have met a murderer's death. ' Tim LIST INCREASES. Two More 8 apposed Victim of the Murderer Holmes. CHICAGO, July H.-To the long list of murders and other crimes directly traceable to the arch fiend, H. IL Holmes, must now be added the disappearance of Mrs. I. L. Connor and her twelve-year-old daughter, with a reasonable certainty that they may have been disposed of In the same manner In which the rest of his victims met their death. Mrs. Connor and her child were last seen in the company of Holmes In this city In 1S9J. Since then all trace of them, has been lost, and the shrewdest of detectives who, at the instigation of the womah's family, have been working on the case, are now of the opinion that the finding of their bodies Is tho only possible solution of the mystery. There are circumstances which, while at first seemingly susceptible of ex planation, now point in the direction of. an other double murder at the hands of the greatest villain of modern times. Mrs. Connor came originally from Daven port, la., where she was married to I. L. Connor, a Jeweler, nearly fifteen years' ago, probably in 1SS0, when she was about eighteen, though the exact time Is un known. To them & child was born and in 1SS3 Connor and his wife and child, then seven or eight years old, came to Chicago. Holmes, at that time, was Just beginning to frame the swindles for which he later became notorious, and had started a drug and jewelry store in Englewood. Connor went to work for Holmes and moved his family into a flat over the store. It was not long after this until Connor became aware - that the relations between his wife and Holmes were not of a nature consistent with the law of society. Before long Mrs. Connor and the child disap peared and no trace or mem nas since been found. It Is the intention of the Chicago police to make every effort to have H. H. Holme. the Insurance swindler, brought here to answer to the charge of having murdered the Williams sisters. The local ofheers are convinced that the murder of the Williams jrlrls was the first committed by Holmes, and they argue in consequence he should be required to Btand trial for it first. They also Insist that they will be able to pro duce evidence that he did murder the sis ters. The police are by no means con vlnced by tho analysis made by a doctor Saturday that the substance found in the big stove in Holmes's old office was fire clay, and not human bones. Tney say that fire clay would not become brittle m any kind of heat, whereas a portion of that found in the stove crumbled in the hands of detective FItzratrlck. It developed to-day that the substance on which the first report of the finding of the benes of Minnie Williams was hinged -was in the hands of detective Geyer. of Phila delphia. It was said that he vislteJ Chicaao a week ago. and when he left carried with him positive evidence that a body had been burned in the big stove In Holmes's oflice. It was also learned to-day that de tetlve Geyer would come to Chicago after he completes his search for the remains of Howard Pietzel in uairou. ana win co operate with the Chicago officers in . what ever mav be done hereafter. in n.-iie circles it was said to-nlcht that the only hope of convicting Holmes was in Chicago. It was said mat tne rnuaaeipnia more serious than insurance swindling, ana that the Canadian authority would cot

ko to the expense of extraditing- and trying

him. In the event that detective Geyer fails to locate the body of Howard Pietzel in Detroit, everything win depend on the work of the Chicago police. No work -was done in the basement of the Enelewood house to-day. but twentyfive men will be put to work In the morn ing, digging It up. me work that has thus far been done in this direction has been without system, and It Is Just as likely that evidences of a. crime may have been more deeply burled, as that one might have been disclosed. The tank in which the explosion took place Saturday has been filled with water, and it will - require the services of a fire engine to pump It out be fore the investigation can proceed. A. Minter. nephew or Mrs. Julia Conner. discredits the story that she and her daughter were murdered by Holmes. He thinks both are alive and that Mrs. Con nor does not make her whereabouts known on account of the trouble she had with her husband. Mr. Pietsel Leaves Toronto. TORONTO, July 21. By a clever ruse Mrs. Pietzel was saved from interviewers yesterday. A closed cab drove up to the Rossin House and detective Geyer got out and entered the hotel, returning in a few minutes with a veiled female, who, it was announced, he was taking to Detroit, and that it was Mrs. Pietzel. As a matter of fact, she did not leave until the 7:40 o'clock train this morning. There are no new de velopments in the case locally, nor is it exptected tfcere will be until Holmes's Phil adelphia lawyer arrives for the purpose of attempting to establish an alibi for his client. Man Who Made the Tank. CHICAGO. July 21. Clarence A. Phillins. m w now In the grocery business, sajs he helped build the tank which exploded Saturday. It was first used In the glass-bending experiments, and later in experiments in making illuminating gas. Phillips's acquaintance with Holmes cost him $1,400 and his wife. ROBBING THE INDIANS LANDS 'nOtGHT AT EXORIHTAXT RATES WILL PROBABLY RE LOST. United States Agent at Luxemburg; Shows Ho tt Retail Business Is Ruined In Europe. WASHINGTON, July 2L-Some of the leading firms of Luxemburg have united in a circular letter addressed to all represent ative merchants In that place, calling attention to the ruin which threatens the textile industry of central Europe in con sequence of the competition and overproduction resulting in the accumulation of great' stocks in ' warehouses and in, the hands of wholesale dealers. Because this circular may point out dangers that lie in wait in the future for American manufacturers. United States Commercial Agent G. H. Murphy, at Luxemburg, has trans mitted extracts from it to the Department )t State for publication in the consular reports. In Dart the circular reads as fol lows: "The great overproduction In all branches of industry and the consequent accumula tion or stocks; the threatening clouds arising from time to time on tho political hori zon; the widespread discontent aroused by socialistic agitation ana tne unfavorable news received from other parts of the world would be the causes of the crisis now prevailing in central Europe In all branches of business. To these misfortunes another, has recently . been added, which threatens complete revolution in retail business. As the locust threatens tho fields, so all -retail business is threatened by a new sort of retail auction shop. In nearly every town? of Germany, Franco and Belgium such thdps have been opened to the Kreat Injury xt. local trade. Large and expensive advertisement arc scattered broadcast to inform the public of the sale of masses of so-called auction wares. In reality these are old stock wares, which It Is desired to dispose of at any price, or they are In some cases worthless wares manufactured especially for this purpose. "In France, Belgium and Germany drastic measures have been adopted against those swindlers. In all cities the established firms have united and made common cause against these dangerous competitors, and . their efforts have been successful. Their united strength has succeeded in keeping the auction shop merchants within certain bounds, new laws have been made which- partially protect honest mercantile houses and the purchasing public." The circular closes with an earnest appeal to every honest business man- In the city to Join tho "Luxemburg Merchants' Union." ROBBING THE INDIANS. Lands Purchased at Exorbitant Rates Will Probably Be Lout. WASHINGTON, July 21.-Tlie district land officers in those parts of Kansas and Nebraska where parts of the former Otoe and Missouri Indian reservations are located, have been instructed to Inform the purchasers of these lands that the, balances due by them must be paid within ninety, days, or their entries will be canceled These lands were bought at public' auction in 1893, at prices largely in excess of their appraised value. One-Fourth of the purchase money was paid down, and the rest made payable in one, two and three years, at 5 per cent, interest. Congress twice extended the time of payment of these deferred amounts for two years each time. In March. 1&3, It passed a bill giving relief In case tho Indians would accept its provisions. The Indians have refused to do this, and the department will enforce the original contract. There is now $192,122 principal and $108,000 Interest due on the lands. Indians Captured Princeton Students. WASHINGTON, July 21. The party of Princeton . geological students whom It is feared may have fallen into the hands of the Bannock Indians in Wyoming, have!no connection with the United States geological survey. The national survey has a party in Wyoming and another in Colorado, but their movements are well known, and no fear of their safety is felt here. The Princeton party started on their trip last month in charge of the professor of geology of the Princeton College, and were furnished with maps and other data by the office here. ARMS FOR HAWAIIAN'S. Reported that Another Uprising: Is to Take Place Sept. 11. PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., July 21. The customs authorities of the Puget sound dis trlct have been instructed by the govern ment to keep a sharp lookout for filibuster ing parties fitting out for the Hawaiian islands. A few days ago it was reported that vessels were openly loading and freighting to the islands with munitions of war. Orders have now been Issued to c.'osely watch and search for arms all yes els bound to the South sea. It is believed a large quantity of arms and ammunition have been smuggled into Hawaii from Puget sound. It is positively known that secret arents of the royalists dispatched rne small consignment to the Islands last October. One source of information says an uprising Is planned In the Islands, to commence sept. 11, ana xnat will be in readiness to bear arms against the govern ment. The Insurgents, after being repeat cdly drilled in southern California, expect to ge; their goods - and assistance from Puget sound, and may bo successful if they can evade customs ana revenue omcers.

BAPTISTS' LAST DAY

THE MAMMOTn TENT AT BALTIMORE CROWDED YESTERDAY Great Enthusiasm Follows the Re ports from Missionaries in the Far-Array Countries. PAN AMERICAN MISSIONS CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS TAKE PART IS TORONTO 3IEETIXG. Bishop Ryan's Address at Catholic Summer SchoolInterview with Omaha Bishop. BALTIMORE. Md.. July 21,-The service this morning the beginning of the last day of the fifth annual International con vention of the Baptist Young People's Union of America was particularly im pressive. Delegates and visitors were pres ent in great numbers in the mammoth tent, and leave takings were Begun. The heat was intense. The general prayer and praise service commenced at 8:C0 a. m. and was led by 'Rev. W. B. Riley, of Chicago. At 10 o'clock there was an adjournment to church services, the pulpit of every evangelical church in Baltimore being oc cupied by a Baptist preacher. Imthe afternoon there was a second praise and prayer service, ;Rev. B. E. Lovett, of Davenport, la., being the leader. At the close of the beautiful exercise, Mr. Joshua Levering was Invited to preside, and he presented Rev. F. II. Kerfoot. D. D., of Louisville, Ky., who delivered an address on "The Saloon and the Present Crisis In Good Government." This was followed by the convention, sermon, which was preached by Rev. P. S. Henson, D. D of Chicago. Waiting on God," an after meeting, was led by Rev. John Gordon, D. D., of Phil adelphia. During this afternoon service In the great tent there was a "junior rally" in the Fuller Memorial Baptist Church, conducted by Mr. Boston W. Smith, of Min neapolis. The evening service of prayer and praise was assisted at by a great congregation, and was led by Rev. F. G. McKeever, of New London, Conn. Mr. Harry w. Porter, who organized, drilled and conducted the choir at every service of the conven tion, at 7:13 waved his baton, and "March ing to, Zlon" came forth in great volume, with organ and trumpet accompaniment. "Blessed Hour of Prayer" followed, the choir voicing the anthem and the multitude sending forth the grand chorus. Mr. John Garland Pollard, of Richmond,- Va., was called to the chair, and in a few words in troduced Rev. J. W. Conlcy, of St. Taul, Minn., who spoke the sentiments of appre ciation of the convention to Jthe Baptists and citizens of Baltimore. "Holy is the Lord" followed. The committee on enrollment made proclamation that the total registry of B. Y. P. U. A. present was 6,55i. "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me." ana -jesus is Mine" were sung by choir and congregation. Mr. John Chapman, the president of the Baptist Young peoples Union. of America, was presented by Mr. Pollard, and for salutation was received with a wild waving of handkerchiefs. President Chapman then delivered the annual address. It was. in part, as follows: "These words nave occome a provf.ro 11 -aVt tt rvlaasA thA rmrent. notice tho nhlMnon-1 mnl I UlirYTOTKA it IS tfUC that TlO guest is bo welcome in a home as the friends of the young people 01 mat nome. a. come once more as your unworthy representative and attempt in my own way, altogether inadequate to the importance of our belovea organization, to iorwvi ll" "u' e and ideals of the year to come.

I would give you for your guiding thought, as we face the duties of the coming year, the words of Christ, recorded in the eighth chapter of John and the twelfth verse: 'I am the light of the world.' "The history of man, let theorists speculate as they will, but Intensifies in darkness until the light of Jesus shines upon it and we find a reason for man 9 be.ng. All the hopes and aspirations that distinguish man from the lower animals, all tho longing for future life, all the divine quality that makes progress possible are problems unsolved until wo read that key to all our being in the first chapter of Genesis: 'And God said let us make, man our own Image Friends, let us deplore in tears of all our young .people, let us deplore the definition of greatness that makes the feeling of belligerent armies the exploration of new countries, the discovery of scientific truth or the attainment of great learning a surer certiflcato of noble attainment than the accomplishment of the task that Jesus committed to his children.

President Chapman, as he closed, was given a long and loud clapping of hands. Rev. Dr. F. L. Wllkins. of Chicago, was invited by Chairman Pollard to conduct the closing consecration service. Ushers and all people were asked to be seated, and the consecration service was begun with a prsceful tribute by President Chapman to the local press, for the very full and carerf th tirftippdines of. the Fifth international convention of the Baptalst v t A a 1 a .

PANAMERICAN MISSIONS. Interesting Proceedings of the Con vention at Toronto. TORONTO. Ont., July 21. The proccedngs of the Panamerican Congress to-day were confined to a meeting in Massey Hall, where missionary work and efforts was the subject of the speeches. The meeting was presided over by Rev. Father. Ryan, rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral, of Toronto. After prayer had been offered by Rev. George Coulson Workman, of Toronto, Father Ryan remarked to the audience that while he had been asked to lead in prayer and refused, still he had heard nothing n any of the prayers offered that any good Roman Catholic could take exceotion to. He thought this meeting. In h ail- the Christian denominations wet resented, was the most significant of tl avention. a3 it showed that prejudice, in ance and bitterness had disappeared tw. ver irom Toronto. An address on "The Problem cf Modern Missions" was then delivered by Rev. Charles tf. Eby, of-Toronto. His address was a protest against the curtailment of foreign missions. The second address, on "Roman Catholic Missions," was dellrered by Very Rev. Dean W. It. Harris, of St. Cararine's. After giving a description of the educational training of Catholic missionaries, Dean Harris described the methods of work and referred to the many mis sionary martyrs of the church. He computed the missionary population of the world at 230.000,000. Professor Clarke, of Toronto University, seconded by Dean Harris, of St. Cath arine's University, here introduced a reso lution to the effect that the convention acknowledged much thankfulness for the first meeting here of the Congress of Religion and Education and hoped that the good work might be carried on. This was enthusiastically passed. Rev. J. T. Grace, D. D.. nresident of the International Mission ary Union. Rochester, closed the meeting with an address on "Protestant Missions." ARCHBISHOP RYAN SPOKE. Sermon Before the Summer School at Plattshurtr, X. Y. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., July 21. St. John's Church was crowded to the doors to-day. Tho sermon was delivered by Rt. Rev. P. J. Ryan, archbishop of Philadelphia, and every member of the Catholic Summer School was present. Archbishop Ryan said In part: "Whilst praising highly the truths of thnatural order and realizing that 'knowledge is power,' and that the more luminous and enlarged the intellect becomes the more It resembles Its divine original, the omnlscent God, you should forget not tho still greater truths revealed by that God con cerning His own nature and our relations to Ilim. He is the fountain of all truth. natural and supernatural. Science reveals truth, but God Is truth itself. It is my place to speak to you of the institution of the church, which was to preserve all the revelations, primitive and Jewish, and to proclaim the newer and greater ones made manifest by Jesus Chrust himself, and to be the kingdom of God on earth, prophesied by Daniel. There are important analogies be tween the Jewish and Christian churches, which enable us to understand more perfectly the latter. Tho Jewish Church was no mere human institution, no mere fortuitous collection of men who might happen to agree in their interpretation of certain truths of revelation. No. it was a living organism, with a divinely constituted head. who was the representative of God on this earth-namely the Jewish high pri?st, who spoke with authority. But the same power that established It declared that Its missions and functions were to be but tem porary. The very date of their termination was nxed by Almighty uod, and dcclarel by the prophet Daniel. This termination took place only when Christ had proved that he was the Messiah and the Grt High Priest of the new law. The Jewish Church was succeeded by Christ himself as a law giver. Judge and ruler." Archblehop ityan then developed the nature and mission of the church as the kingdom of God cn earth, as foretold in f prophecies, described in parables and openy announced by our divine Lord. He dwelt especially on the great mark which Christ himself gave of the divinity of his mission; when re prayed that his followers might be one. This mark of unity is to-day, he said, the most striking evidence of the divine character of Christ and of His church. He continued to develop his subject of the Institution of the church and Its character as a kingdom, and closed his sermon thus: "Now thl3 great institution founded by Christ and blessed with such marvelous unity and stability is precisely what Is need ed in our age and country, in order to give religious unity to many divers denominations and permanent stability to the State itself. Let us, then, go forth from thl3 summer school with increased knowledge, both sacred and profane, but above all things with a profound conviction that we have In the institution of the church what the age and Nation require. And let us prove toy our individual lives the practical influence of that institution in governing and sanctifying the individual and thor?foro with a power to Influence the whole Nation for God, and thus preserve it." . AUDIENCE WITH THE POPE. Bishop Scannell Tells of Ills Expertence In IIoiuf, OMAHA, Neb., July 21. Bishop Scannell, of Omaha, has returned from his visit to Rome. "I had an audience with Fop Leo XIII," said the Bishop, "and found him a very old man, but, for his years, he looks very bright. The weight of years does not seem to have any effect on his mental faculties so far as I could see, judging from his conversation and the appearance of his face." Speaking of the audience. Bishop Scannell said: "You must observe that these audiences are very short. The Pope is very old and the bishops seldom get a private audience. They are rather formal affairs, because the Pope's time is very much occupied. It would not be possible to get Into the discussion cf questions spoken of at any length, even If I were at liberty to tell them now." Concerning the condition of the Catholic Church in Italy. France, Germany, England and Ireland, the JJishop took . occasion to say: "In Italy I think there was a great improvement In the relations of the people and government since my last visit. In France things are not so satisfactory. France is a republic only In name: it is an oligarchy. It is governed by a few men who are not in harmony with the mass of the people. It Is a centralized government. The prefects and mayors of the towns depend on the central power for office. The result is there is no republican form of government in the country. The French people don't seem capable of any organization." DUIiRAXrS TRIAL TO-DAY. Openlnjr of the Bin- Double-Murder Case In San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, July 11. Interest In the horrible Emanuel Baptist Church murders, which shocked the country, will be revived to-morrow, when the trial of Theodore Durrant commences. Last April San Francisco was startled by the discovery of the outraged bodies of Blanche Lament and Minnie Williams, two young members of the congregation. Suspicion pointed to Theodore Durrant, a young medical student and a member of the church. At the coroner's inquest and preliminary examination It was shown that Durrant had been attentive to both girls; that the day Blanche Lamont disappeared he had been in her company, and that on that afternoon he was seen in a greatly excited and disheveled condition. It was shown that he had made an appointment to meet Minnie Williams on tho night she was murdered, and witnesses will testify that they saw two people resembling Miss Williams and Durrant enter the church that evening. Afiss Williams's purse was also found in Lurrant's possession after he had been arrested. Durrant and his attorneys say that an alibi can be proved .that will shatter the care as soon as the taking of testimony begins. It is anticipated that there will be considerable cMdculty la securing twelve mm In r.n I'rarc'-: competent urirr th? Irr to Czz'.Zi C .nir.t'a fts.

The bow of the Ortlgla crashed into the. starboard side of the Maria P..- penetrating six yards and ripping up the Maria P. like match wood. The water rushed in through tho hole and the Maria P. sunk In three minutes. The majority of the passengers were asleep at the time cf the accident and had no time to escape after the alarm was given. They were engulfed with the vessel. The Ortlgla remained on the cpo! until 6 o'clock in order to pick up the survivors. She rescued fourteen of the crew and twenty-eight of the passengers of the Maria P. Other steamers have bcelv sent to the scene of the disaster and are" now searching" for further survivors. The Ortlgia's bow was smashed for a space of twelve feet along the water llr.c. There is some comment on the fact brought to mind by the disaster that the Ortlgla once collided On the same spot with lh French steamer Oncie Joseph. At the conclusion of the sitting of the Chamber to-day at Rome the Minister of Marine announced the news of the disaster in the midst of a profound sensation, adding that an oIHcer, a seaman, stekcr and 144 passengers of the Maria P. had perished. The Ortlgla had twenty-live passengers on board. The Maria P.'s captain was named Fcrrara. The Chamber has ordered an Inquiry Into the disaster.

Both captains were asleep, and Tnird Oillcer Revcllo was on watch on the Ortigia and Second Officer D'AngcIo was on watch ca the Maria P. The Ortigli was going a: the rate of eleven knots an hour ani U.s Maria P. at the rate of eis&t miles. Roth vessels saw the lights of tne other and continued on their proper roads until tho mistake was made, it is not established by whom, which brought the Maria 1. broadside towards the Ortlgla, Third Officer Itevello, of the Ortisla, saw the danger ani ordered the engines reversed. But the ordrr came too late. Ihe Ortlgla r truck tho MarU P., '-making an enormous gap In her side. All the boats of theOrtJ.cl were lowered, and the crews rescued ll they coull of the survivors. The latter, for the most part, remain in such a state of terror since the rescue1 that th? r unabl? to give a single detail of the disaster.
