Jcst aa ire expected, Blaine has heard the news from New York and doasn'twant the nomination for President. Sirck the New York election, all the Republican aspirants after Presidential honors find it necessary to take tonics, and the sales are reported larger. The steamers Etruria and Umbria are the fastest ocean racers, the former haying made an average of twenty-three and the latter of twenty-four miles an hour, regardless of winds and waves; tir 1350 there were In the Unite l State 831,557 more males than females, showing pretty conclusively that polygamy, plural marriages.

If the great American Republic la the "log" and Grover Cleveland the "bump," the log and the bump ill remain conspicuous for about six years more. Everybody is delighted with the general prosperity eD joyed by the country under President Cleveland's administration. Lands stolen under Republican ad aa in is trations are being reclaimed by millions o acres, and the outlook is altogether cheering. Golokel Feed. Grajtt fused to pay a bill of $-350 for the U3eof tbirty-fiye horses on the occasion of his father's funeral. The Incident gives the public a pretty correct idea of Colonel Fred's size. He would have been a pretty insect to play Secretary ,of State of New York. What were the Committee of One Hunxlred doing on election day? Ten or fifteen Republicans at the old tricks of debauching the ballot box, and the committee standing around the polls like so many Stoughton bottles, allowing the villainy to proceed. Goverxoe Gobpon, of Georgia, made no speech in Ohio during the campaign for which any apology need be made. Men should go North and go South and make speeches whenever they please, and if what they say Is in the interest of peace, harmony and prosperity, the speakers are entitled to a respectful hearing. Ose of the things the Republican press can't handle handsomely is the fact that within two years a Democratic administration has been able to rescue from land thieves about 35 000,000 acres of land stolen under Republican administration. The boast of "great moral" ideas by the Republican party appears exceedingly rldicalou?. McDjsald, in a recent interview, said! course Cleveland would be nominated there 3.U n0 one else who could be nominated wltnT?0 cessfui result. Blaine? Well, perhaps Blaine will be put up by the Republicans. ,What then? He will be defeated, and 83 will any other man who makes the race against the present President. The strong, level-headed business men of this country know too well what they have secured by the election of Cleveland. The nonpartisans who are looking out for their own best interests all know the beneficial results of the past two years, and they will support Cleveland to a man in 153." That is the universal view. The country is wonderfully prosperous, and will continue to, in so far as Mr. Cleveland's Administration is concerned. Mr. Cleveland's Administration is not spectacular nor speculative. It is distinguished by probity, omtnoa senss. There is not a bit of brass band about it, no pyrotechnic displays, no "plumed knight" racket, but just what the people want a plain, Democratic, common sense Administration, in which laziness, thievery, tenet ory rascality with a mansard roof and and bay-wiodewa cuts no figure. Such an Administration the people will indorse in 18, and don't you forget iL REPUBLICANS IN POWER PRODUCE IDLE BREAD WINNERS. It is said that from 1373 to 1373 there were over 3,000,000 men out of employment They are not out of work now. From Jefferson, Jackson and down to Grover Cleveland's administration, the country has seen no better times. Senator Yoor hees. Statements by Senator Yoorhees are ant to be inaccurate and misleading, and this one is no exception. "It Is aatd that from 1373 to 137 k there were over 3.000,000 men out of employment." Who says so? Any tenon who knows, who had any means of nowing, or whose statement is worth anything? Was the statement made by some greenback inflationist, of whom Sanator Voorhers was one, by some Democratic candidate for office, or oy some cross-roads Democratic newspaper? In makiag a statement of that kind a Senator of the United States ought to be able to give better authority than "it is said." Indianapolis Journal. The statement of Senator Yoorhees is entitled, as are the utterances generally of the distinguished Senator, to gieat consideration. The Journal is altogether too previous in its criticisms. Hon. Carroll D. WrighL Commissioner of Labor, in his report referrs to the disturbances in trade and industries from 1373 to 1373, and says that the industrial depression during that period "was very serious In extent and duration as an instance of this, it was currently said, and generally beleaved that there were at least 3,000,000 mechanics out cf employment in the United States." It will be observed that Senator Yoorhees simply itated a historical fact, "generally Relieved" at the time, and which has never been contradicted. During the period tJU&tl ,b:;e were 5,195 failures .and the

liabilities swelled to the vast turn of $1,200,903,754, The depression in the trade and industry from 187$ to isf$ was due" larglyto Republican legielatioa and Republican rascality, and the history of the times triumphantly establishes the charge. Mr. Yoorheessays that "from Jefferson to Jackson down to Grover Cleveland's administration the country has seen no better times." If the statement is not absolutely true, why does not the Journal point out where it is untrue? Mr. Yoorhees states a historical fact The Journal does not contradict'ths statement. Instead of a contradiction it attempts to obscure a great and important truth by a resort to the meanest sort of demagogy. It says Finally, says Mr. Yoorhees, "from Jefferson, Jackson and down to Grover Cleveland the country has seen no better times." This discloses the object of the previous misstatements. It is to create the impression that good times have always prevailed under Democratic rule "from Jefferson and Jackson down," and that Grover Cleveland's administration, like those of his Democratic predecessors, is marked by exceptional prosperity. Here again the statement and reference are false. Mr. Yoorheees made the statements 'first, that from 1873 to 1378," 3,000,000 men were out of employment." Second, from Jackson to Cleveland, the conntry his seen no better times. When the Journal passed its criticism on Mr. Yoorhees' statement, it knew it must lie or keep its mouth shut. It preferred to utter a falahood, it preferred lylngly to misrepresent Mr. Yoorhees, and we have printed so much of its article as to convict it, a much stronger case than was made against the Chicago Anarchists. The country has never been more prosperous than at present. Trade is brisk, an evidence that work is plenty. The people have confidence in Mr. Cleveland's sagacity to let well enough alone, and it is this common Bense administration that worries the Republican press generally. If the people want things as they were from 1873 to 1373. they will put the Republican party in power. If they want stability, good times, plenty of work and sound finances, they will keep the Democratic party in power, and nnder the circumstances, such articles as the Journal writes will not set the Democratic party back in the least.

WAS ROBINSON "SOLD OUT BY HIS FRIENDS?" There is a row in the Republican camp, and the oppossng forces are led by Speaker Sayer and Colonel Robertson, respectively. Both de6ire the Republican nomination for Governor, and each is trying to kill the other off. The probabilities are that these two belligerent lights of the Republican party will both be extinguished by their own hands. A few weeks since the House journal came out printed, and in the index were the words, ' 'Robertson told out by his friends," and then the page is given where the compromise on the senatorial question is printed. The indexing was done by a young man from FL Wayne, the home of Colonel Robertson, and naturally Speaker Sayer felt that these words were inserted at his instance. The young man came out in a card and exonoräted Colonel Robertson, but in the meantime Speaker Sayer had submitted to an interview and gave some of the inside history of the famous Republican caucus that adopted the compromise. Sayer in effect says that the Republican members had no confidence in the ability of Colonel Robertson to preside over the joint convention for the election of a Senator, and therefore decided that he should preside. This, theT, "tabliahes a very important fact, in that Colonel Robertson was first deposed from his position by the Republican caucus. If he was Lieutenant Governor he was entitled to preside, but his own friends set him aside for Speaker Sayer. This was the first sell out. Sayre, in his interview, says he opposed this action of the caucus, but he was overruled and pressed to agree to preside, and yielded. This arrangement was made before the compromise was adopted and when it was proposed that the Republican members should meet in joint convention for the election of a Senator. But the compromise was afterwards made, and by the terms Robertson's claims were entirely ignored. The Republican members first determine thst he shall not preside, but occupy a seat by the side of Sayre, and then they decide that he shall not even occupy a s$at in the joint con vention, Bonier Sayre says In the interView that Robertson was present when the V1CW UlätüUUU MUU woo pieavu w lutproi.o.monWH.aopt.d.butthUKrt. ertson denies. The only way to settle the dis pute between these two worthies is for some of the Republican members to submit to interviews, for the great question that promises to disrupt the Republican party in this State, is "was RobertsDn sold out his friends." If Babertson was in the caucus and submitted to the compromise, he should not exhibit his sore toe, but if it was all done behind his back, he has a right to feel sore all over. The caucus sat ith closed doors and the members cannot afford to rest under the serious charge that the sold Colonel Robertson out by the terms of compromise. As Speaker Sayre has divulged some of the secrets ot the caucus and informed the public that Robertson was sold out when be was pressed to preside, and Robertson was provided with a btg chair by his side, the members must now fnform an anxious public if Robertson was actually prerent when the terms of the compromise were agreed to. The Sentinel opes s its columns to any of the Republican members who desire to be set right. At present they are under a cloud and stand charged with havirg sold Colonel Robertson ouL The Journal made the charge and has never retracted it. The Sentinel will be impartial and see fair play. A dispute hetween the two leading characters ou the Republican side Robertson and Sayre la a matter of serious import, The quarrel should be settled, for it bids fair to wreck the g. o. p. The Journal will allow no explanations. Senator Campbell tried this in the Journal and came to grief under the blows of the editor. Ferhaps Robertson and Sayre have compromised, ss they are both Been frequently on the streets of this city. Then the silence of the Journal would warrant the belief Hut wmskinioUa amicabli settlement

had been made. Is Robertson to run for Governor and Sayre take the second place, or should the names be reversed ? Or have the high priests of the party determined that they shall both be thrown overboard? As the row involves all the Republican members of the Legislature, they are willing to do anything to save their own bacon.

BARNUM BURNED OUT. The Greater Part of His Immense 8tok of Animals Destroyed by Fire. Bridgeport, Conn., November 20. The main building of Barnum & Bailey's greatest show on earth was entirely destroyed by fire this evening. About 10:00 o'clock an alarm was sent in, quickly followed by a general alarm, and thousands of people were drawn to the spat. In less than thirty minutes the big building, which was GOO by 200 feet and two stories in height, was entirely consumed. The first intimation of the fire was given by the roaring of the lions and tighes, which seemed to realize the impending danger. Next the elephants struggled in their. chains. In an incredibly short time the flames swept from one end of the huge structure to the other. There were six watchmen employed on the premises, but they were helpless to check the flames. One of the men was in the horse building when his lantern ex ploded, igniting the hay and straw. ; five Of the watchmen have reported, but one is missing. The upper portion of the building was filled with hay and all the paaphiroa'ii of the great show. Biforc -he first alarm ceased sounding the whole building was enveloped in fire and no one dared to approach the building, being fearful of the crazed animals. Tnree ele phants were burned up and thirty-six broke from their fastenings and dashed through the sides of the burning building. Their roars and trumpetings and sounds of torment were temhe. Six elephants and a large African Hippopotamus rusnea about the streets, presenting a sickening appearance. Their sides were burnel and great pieces of flash a foot square fell off. Thirty elephants and onalarge Hon made their CEcape and have started off across the country toward Fairchild and Elton. Great alarm has eeized many residents of the West l.nd.and they have taken refuge ritnm their houses with windows barred. William Newman, the elephant trainer, is out of town and the keepers were not able, in the excitement, to herd the frightened animals. In the horse room where all the ring animals, trianed stallions, ponies etc These were all burned. In the upper rooms were the tents, poles, seats, harness, etc., for the entire shows and theie too were alljiestroyed.In the cat room were the birds, monkeys, three rhinoceroses, hyenas, tigers, lions and all the menagerie, which fell a prey to the flames. k rapid did the flames leap across the main building that the firemen made no attempt to save it, but turned their streams upon the chariot buildings and car sheds which they succeeded in saving, but the heat was so intense that this was accom plished with the greatest difficulty. The total loss is estimated at $700.000. upon which there was but $100,000 insurance. Before the building went down, Barnnm's agents were busy making arrangements for obtaining a new lot of attrac tions to supply the loss. Mr. Rothwell, Mr. Birnuni's Bridgeport agent stated that the show building would be rebuilt, but not in Bridgeport. The great show would probably go to New York city where bet ter railroad facilities can be had. BBiDGEroBT, Conn., November 21. 2 a. ra. Tne watchman making his rounds, discovered the fire and started to give the alarm when some unknown person hit him on the head with a blunt instrument, felling him to the ground and cutting a number of severe gashes in his head. He staggered to his feet and gave the alarm, enabling the other watchmen in the building who were preparing for bed, to escape. One of the three elephants burned was the famous sa cred white elephant. The lion which the police attempted to kill at the time the fire broke out, was afterwards found in a barn devouring a cow which he had killed. He was shot. The fire is now out. A Whole Town Destroyed. St. Louis, November 20. Dispatches from Granby, Mo., a thriving town in the lead legions of Newton county, say that what proved to be a large conflagration started there yesterday afternoon, and at a late hour laet night it was stated thr.t about 100 houses bad been consumed, including all the principal business houses in the town. The drought in that section has been long and severe, and as the town was. built almost entirely of wood, the houses burned like tinder. Assistance was sent from Neosho, a few miles distant, in the way of men and buckets, bat as there were no water works in Granby, and nesrly all the wells and cisterns being dry, the town was actually at the mercy of the flames, which swept through the place under the action of a fierce wind as a sea of raging fire. Nothing apparently could be done to stay the destruction, and at last accounts It was thought that the entire town would be destroyed, 8cores of families were homeless last night, and as the weather was very cold there was much suffering and distress. Later advices indicate that the fire was not to disastrous as was at first supposed. Fifteen business bcuses were destroyed and a large number of residences consum ed. A fair share of the stocks in the stores wa saved bv moving, and while the loss will be heavv. it will not be so great aa anticipated.

A local paper this morning publishes an article in which it is stated that Nina Yan Zsndt, Spies' proxy wife, is wasting away, food not having passed her lips since the day before Spies was hanged. In conversation with a reporter she expreesed much bitterness against tU press d those who "marciered" "her husband." Mrs. Van Zandt appeared greatly concerned about her daughter's health, and fears the worst She said: "Had yon heard .that an effort was made to revive August after his body reached the undertaker's? Well, it is true, The physicians used an electric battery, applying it to his body tor an hour or more in hopes of fanning Into a flime the spark of life which seemed to be lingering in his veinr. August never appeared to be dead. Bis lips were moist and his cheeks were warm after his body was received from the jail. But in August's case no encouraging effects were prod need, and, though at one time there was a spark of hope, the physicians soon gave it up and permitted the embalmers to go to Wjrfc That was a great mistake. The embalmers began to work at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and be died at 12. Tbey ahould have waited several hours or more, and perhaps a day or two." A loitTy Trial. ru, November i7. The costs in the case of Bill Green, who was sentenced to the penitentiary for life lor the killing of nos urumbaugn, are made public. They reach the neat sum of $1,76 45 for trial, and $2,004 prior to the same, making a grand total $1,737.45. This icclades expenses for apprehension. Amonest the items noted are: Sheriff's services, $:47; guards to protect prisoner from lynching, $21'.; M. Fausler, prosecuting attorney, $200; expense for apprehension, $1,700; Buck Stanley, $143; Judge Nelson, prosecuting, $500. The return for this is the life sentence upon Green. It is more than probable that the ease will be carried to the Supreme Co art. The general opinion here is that the sentence wm too sever.

SUNK OFF DOVER

Officers Cool, but Fran tie Passengers Up. set Their efforts list of the Saved Stories of Passenger s, 1 .on don, November 20. The Dutch steamer W. A. Schölten, Captain Taal, which left Rotterdam yesterday for New York, was sunk by a collision with ; the. steamer Rosa Mary, of Hartlepool, at 0 o'clock last night, ten miles off Dover. TheScholtlen carried a complement of 230 passengers and crew.J The steamer Ebro, of Sunderland, rescued 90 of the crew and passengers, and landed them at the Sailors' Home in Dover. One hundred and fifty of the passengers are missing. One passenger and a child of the party brought to Dover were found dead from exposure. It is hoped that passing vessels have res cued the missing crew. The W. A, Scholten's masts are visible from Dover pier. Boats have left Dover bound in all directions for the purpose of saving life and property if possible. The Ros Mary is anchored off Ramsgate with bows stove. Up to 5 p. m. twenty-two bodies from the W. A. Schölten have been landed at Dover. At the time of the accident a dense fog prevailed. The Schölten was struck on the port bow by the Rosa Mary. Immediately after the shock was felt the Ssholten'a passengers, all of whom had retired for the night, rushed on deck in their night gowns. The boats were promptly ordered to be lowered, but it was found that only two were available. The three others were useless and were not lowered. The water .rushed swiftly through the hole in the bow, and a terrible scene ensued. The panic stricken passengers utteied piercing shrieks and many fell upon their knees and prayed aloud. .Little children clung to their moth ers, who themselves were shrieking with terror. The officers were cool and self-possessed and remained on the bridge to the last. Several persons procured life-belts and leaped into the sea. Within twenty minutes of the shock the Schölten was engulfed. All those who had put on life-belts floated and were rescued by the boats from the steamer Ebro which crnieed around until 4 o'clock in the morning. Many of them rescued lost wives, husbands, brothers and sisters. The survivors were supplied with clothes, and everything possible was done to insure their comfort. VARTIHG STORIES. The passenger accounts differ regarding the circumstances ot the collision, and the reports of the officers of the Schölten clash with those of the officers of the Rosa Mary. Some of the passengers state that the' evening s merriment hadrceased, and most of the pusengers had retired to their bunks, only a few remaining in the saloon, when a tremendous crash was heard on the port bow. They say it is impossi ble that the collision could have occurred by the Schölten striking an anchored vessel. The second mate of the Schölten reports that be was on deck when he saw an unknown steamer coming through the fog. Before anything could be done the Schölten was Btruck in the fore rigging and port bow. The other vessel, which he now presumes was the Rosa Mary, backed off and disappeared. Within twenty minutes the Schollen sank. The captain of the Rosa Mary statei that his vessel was run into while anchored soutbest of South Band head by an unknown steamer. Finding that the Rosa Mary was damaged he proceeded to Dover Roads, where the vessel is now docked. The Rosa Mary was laden with coal for St. Navaire.

When taken out he was greatly exhausted owiog to the extreme cold and his efforts to keep afloat. After the vessel sunk the cries of persons in the water could be heard for a longtime in all directions.

"I was told that nothing serious had occurred," he said, "but I secured a life belL There were six English passengers on board the vessel, and one of these, a girl, asked us to keep in a group, that the English might go down together.

in the greatest state of excitement, all try- 1 log to get a place in the two boats which had been successfully lowered. The scare and disorder prevented many persons being saved. The water was freezing cold. This hastened the death of many, rendering them powerlees." Charles Mills, of Red Hill, Surrey, says: "The life boats appeared as if they had not been used for a long time. They had to be chopped away with axes with the assistance of passengers. I called out to thoEe on the bridge to fire rockets. 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 until the water touched the boilers, putting out the fires. Then I got hold of a beit, 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 this way and had the greatest difficulty to keep clear of them, I gave a spar to a woman to hold on to. Tbe Dutch sailors wanted to save themselves, and even thrust women aside. I can swim well and I swam about until I got to the Ebro where a rope was tnrown to me. After the collision I went down into the cabin and woke two Dutch ladies, but they were paralyzed with terror and would not get up despite ail entreaties. I heard other complaints about the conduct of the Dutch sailors. The confusion was extreme. Everjbooy etc med terror-stricken. This may account for the apparent want of disciplice. The frantic passengers unnerved come of the crew, preventing them from actir g as bravely as tbey might have done. The Captain did his best to restore order.

Mr. Appleby, one of the passengers saved, said: "1 was in my berth, as also were many others, when the crash came, I immediately ruh-d on deck followed by a confused crow '.

The passengers Boon crowded t Ue deck, and the Captain and officers shouted that all the boats be lowered. The vessel was then settling down, by the bead and the excitement was at its worst. I had hardly time to look around me before the vessel listed over on her port side, throwing the passengers and crew together on that side of the vessel. Most of the boats were then worthless. Two boats on the port side were swung out and lowered, but the other six were useless. While the sailors were endeavoring to lower the boats the 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 belL The scene on the deck was appalling.

A good look-out was kept and CapL Taal not only had the ordinary natch on the bridge at the time of the disaster, but all the officers, who intended to remain there till the vessel was fairly down the channel. The Captain was last seen at his post trying to quiet the pessengers and get the boats off. Among the bodies landed at Dover are the following: A woman with a letter addressed "Hurront, Rue St. Gilles, Brussels Goldschidt, a cigar dealer of Lon don ; 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 "John Kochnel, Sandusky;" Henri Blanc, of Ohio, the- eole cabin passenger; Friedmann, a merchant of Kowal. The other bodies are mostly those of females. The engineer, after being in the water three hours, was rescued aud landed at New Haven. Lenking C. Freiich and A. Hamerton were saved. The body of Rive Bell has been identified. The quays at Dover werecrowded throughout the day with people who had come to watch the recovery of the bodies. No bodies were recovered dur ing the morning because ther tide was running to the eastward, but many were broneht back with the ebb. Darkness pre vented the recovery of more bodies, out many boats and tugs have put to sea on the chance of picking up others in tM morning. Many of those whose .bodies have been recovered look as if they had been frozen to death. The RoeäMary sustained extensive damage and was only k pt aSoat by her watertight bulkheads. An officer of the Schölten states that ' the Rosa Mary ws carrying no side lights, but was showitg the usual masthead lights to indicate that Ehe was ljicg at anchor. They steered straight down the channel, leaving her sufficient room to pass clear. When they drew near they found that she was steaming ahead and making right onto them. They tried to signal her off, but it was too late. She struck the Schölten on the port bow. ripping off plates some dis tance and expositing the interior. The hole thus made extended below the water line. The officers of the Rosa Mary aver that tbey were lying at anchor and were run Into. They sav that they did not weigh anchor until merning. It is rumored that the Captain of the Rosa Mary denies the statement that his vessel was in collision with the W. A.' Schölten. He avers that the Rosa Mary was injured by a collision with another vessel while lying at anchor. Pantain Taal. of the W. A. Schölten, had onlv recently been appointed to the command of that vessel, succeeding Cap tain Boojer. THI SCR0IOr,V STATEMENT. Dr. Ayme, of New York, the Scholten'a surgeon, Is of the opinion that the Rosa Mary had just weighed anchor, and that tbe crew bed forgotten to put up the side lights. He says that many of those saved by the Ebro were paralyzed with cold, and were with di; culty resuscitated. When he last saw Ca 'tain Taal the latter was finding on tift- bridge, trying to prevent tbe steerage passengers from besieging the boats.

I received the following dispatch a short lime ago from our passer ger agent, Mr. Wm. H. Yandenloou: Ri reived cable that the Schölten Bunkby collision off Dover with unknown steamer. Captain Taal, several of the officers and citw and many passengers probably dtowted. About fifty reported saved by attamship Ebro, amongst which, Genken. Yakdehlook." "Genken," continued Mr. Edge, "was atsistant manager in this city with Mr. Yandenlcon. He has been taking a t leasore trip abroad. This is the first time Hat Cptain Taal has had cnarge of the Schollen. He has met with one or two rr iibips before. The Schölten is rated firstclaea. and waa built at Clyde in 1374. Her net tonnage was 1,710. Sue was owned by

the Netherlands-American Bteam Navigation Company, a Rotterdam corporation and was valued at about $250,000. Her imeneiona were about S00 feet overall, 39 beIP- and 29 depth. Her passenger aocommodatiens were sixty cabin, forty Intermediate and 500 steerage. She sailed from Rotterdam yesterday and probably bad a miscellaneous cargo of dry goods.

i1 in, herring, Rhine wine, etc. There are ve other vessels in our fleet the Zian dam, Scheidam, Leerdam, Rotterdam and v. uaiaud. It .is stated that a Hastings mackrel boat reports that her nets were damage! yesterday afternoon by a steamer, and that while chasing the steamer the latter was seen to collide with the Schölten. It is worthy of note that fragments of nets were found on the bows of the Rosa Mary. LoKDoir, November 21. Two bodies of the victims of the sinking 'of the steamer W. A. Schölten, by collision with the steamer Rosa Mary, have floated ashore at Deal. There is no doubt that Captain Toil went c own with his steamer. Mr. Robson, one of the passengers saved, stated to a reporter that the W. A. Schölten had just weighed anchor when the collision occurred. There were S00 life belts on board and most of the passengers were supplied with them, but they proved nseless in a majority of cases, and the people were engulfed with the ship. The steamers decks burst when she was foundering. The sunken, vessel lies in twenty fathoms of water. The survivors will sail for New York on Wednesday. Eighty persons in all have been taved frjm the wrecked steamer, W. l. Schölten. One of the survivors is tm d Rolne. There is another survivor in the hospital, whese name is not known. Chief ecgineer, Edixhoven. was landed at Sebfoid, j6terday morning. No more bcdies have been recovered. STOBIES raOM THE BOSA MAST. It is the universal feeling that the ftult of the collision rests with the steamer Rosa AJf ry. Chief mate Wells, of that vessel, states that she left Hartlepool on Friday in command of Captain Webster, and with a crew of sixteen men. On thenight of the collision there was a shifting fog ; sometimes it was dense, while at intervals it was clear. At about S :30 o'clock, he says, the collision occurred. 4,We had been at anchor since 8 o'clock. Myself and the Captain were on the bridge. The sea was of the calmest. Our lights were burning brightly and the fog bell was eounding constantly. I first saw the colliding steamer off our starboard bow. She was showing white and green lights, indicating that she was shaping her course to the starboard side1 We could not shift our position, being aichored and tbe tide being ebb. The steamer toon ported; her helm and attempted to cross our bow. The;tide, however, not being rightly judged, settle! the vessel on our bows, cutting her to lhe waters edge. I can not say whether it was the W. A. Schölten that collided with us. Whatever vessel it was she proceeded on her course and soon disappeared in the darkness. We remained at anchor during the night and were piloted to Dover at 7 o clock in the morning. There we docked." Captain Webster states that the weather during the voyage was neavy. On Saturday morning there was a heavy fog and the Roea Mary anchored for three hours off Half Ordeners. She proceeded at 11 o'dock and passed the east Godwin light ship at seven in the evening. The fog be came so thick that she was compel!el to anchor again at 8o'cbck, the veBsle being then from eeven to eight miles west southwest of the Eist Goodwin iighL Tbe collision occurred about 10:30 p. m. "The forecastle lookout was the first to intimate the approach of a vessel. saw a bright white light a point and a half off the starboard bow. Soon green light appearrd indicating that she was passing our starboard bow. Accompanied by the mate, I went to the upper bridge and saw the same lights: suddenly the green light disappear ed, and a red. light was shown. Immediately there was a terrific collision. ' Tne steamer that struck us proceeded, and no attempt was made to ascertain what injury had been done. The fog had lifted, revealmg the lights plainly. We signalled for assistance, but cone came until morning. During the night a number of drift ing nets caught on the anchor and on the broken bows." LIST OF PASSENGERS. yiw York, November 21. W. H.

A HORRIBLE DISEASE.

.- Woman and a Little Girl frona Uracil AIL h. ted with Leprosv. Philadelphia, November 21. The twr lepers, mother aad daughter,, about whom there Jias been so much comment dnnnz the past two weeks, came into the ofce of , the Board Of Health, Saturday, of their o wa ' accord-, and were sent ut to the municipal hospital for contagious diseases in the hospital ambulance. Wen the unfortunate wore a i raised her vii her face presented a dreadfnl amAAra2M. It looked. as though it had beenscAlded. The skia was drawn and contracted antf sealed with wrinkles. The hands and ttrms; which eb displayed, were covered with a shiny skia which was also cracked and soan.e-i. The little girl, who Is only about twelver years old, did cot seem to be as bad as ths mother, although her face showed plainly that she was suffering from some skia dis ease. .Kcth mother and daughter were . neatly dressed, and the former seemed to : fully realize the position which she wain. ; lhe woman said that her name was ; Isabella Mirande, She declined to gire ' any definite information about her Lamily. The poor woman, howeTtr,told herstcK in a general way, her voice choked so aid-' times by sobs and tears flowing from herl

eyes. She is a native of this country, and about twenty years ago married a native of : w

Brazil. They lived here for ten years and i then went to Brazil, takings the two chilaren mey then naa with teem. Since that time they have lived in that country. most of the time in Para. Two other children were born to them. Ths- woman's husband, who died several years- ago, was captain on a boat that plied up -Kid down . the Amazon, and the woman says that . whatever tbe nature of the disease is with which herself and daughter are afllicted. , she is positive that it is the affect of ! poison. About four years ago they both te of a Brazilian plant which is very poisonous. In that country they have a root which much resembles a potato, but the effects ot which on the human Bystem are t.eadly. one of these roots was cooked by mistake, and the woman and her child partook of. a portion of the dish before the error was discovered. They afterwards became etck. The disease seemed to take a deeper and, deeper hold, until finally they were re-: duced to S'Jich straits that it was deter- ' mined to send them both to this cozn-, try for medical treatment. They have rel atives in this city, and to them they caccr about two years ago, and here tbey haveresided ever since. Mrs. Mirande says tbs- Ä ehe has- been under the care of Dr. Y V sf Arlicgen, but was never told the exact nature of her disease. She does not know positively i net what It is. Her conditionand that of her child, she stated, has much improved .since they have been here .in Philadelphia, and about three weeks a'go she determined to return to her home in the city of Para. She has two grownup children down there, one of whom is a ; young woman who is married, while the other is a boy of nineteen, who is learning to be a pilot- Her younges child, about five years old; is also there. All these are perfectly healthy, and have never dis played any symptoms of the disease. Mrs. Mirande left this city and went to New York, where she took passage on a . stesmer for Brazil, but ehe did not know toe name of the vessel. Scarcely had they got well out at sea when the ship's physician found out what was the matter with the two passengers, and the captain de-. termined to land them at the first oppor tunity. The vessel put in at Newport News, and the sorely aimcted woman and her little girl were obliged to disembark, being told that, under the circumstances, it would be impossible to put them ashore in a Brazilian port. She determined to come back to this city, and arrived at Broad-street Station yesterday morn ing. Heart-broken at not being being permitted to go back to her home, fiUed with raifgivings that she wou!d not tee i other children any more, and knowing that ahehad adiseese, whatever it was, which would cause all to shun her, she conclude! not to go back to her friends, but to let-the health authorities attend to her oase. Tbe fact that lepers had been in this city was. made known to the Board of Health oa November li although they had probably left at tbat time. Dr. Ford, who was then, seen, gave it as his opinion tbat leprosy was Dot contagious unices a person cameinto actual contact with the süßerer or handled the clothing. In his report of tha cases to tne uounty Medical society, nr. Van Arlinen says: "Leprosy is, indeed, contagious Tin my belief, and in that ot tbe majority of observers, but contagious ia a slow and uncertain manner." THE, EXECUTED "ANARCHISTS. Rev. Dr. Bolton rrw a T.son from I heir tie ution in I hieago, CaicAiio November 21. The Rev. Dr Bjlton. of the First Methodist charch, who attended tb executed Anarchist darin their last hours, compared the deatü with that of the impenitent thief who was crucified with Jesus. FkJden and Schwab are likened to the thief on the cross who sought forgiveness. Ir. Bolton's eompairison was the subject chosen yeslet day by him for bis regular weekly sermon. The Doctor's audience was enlarge one. J said: "Men are moved, led, and inri'1. enced very largely by the thought aad presence of other men. This impeoitenk thief on the cross had beta a leader in his profession, a robber Jof notable, perh&pe national, reputation. Such was sure behave made many admirers and sappaiier , who in tbe hour of hia imprisonmeut Bent him cheer until his life was pushed out into an abnormal channel, and ha lived oi the flattery and cheer of his followers. Now, as he is led out, multitudes folloar bim, and strengthen Lim with their presence and words. How can he recant their presence when many of them had taken lessons in robbery from him? Nor is it strange when he heard tha soldiers and rabble waiting from below that be "out of his torture" should join them. 9 It takes more of a man to change, acko iWr ledge his wrong and seek for pardon ueder such circumstances, than it does to d e in 6in defiantly." The preacher described the Anarchists r ervoualy walking from the door to tba back of the cells, walking like caged tigers wfcen all hope of escape is gone. Ihne of these men call for and receive liquors, one declines but asks for a cup ofstrocg coffee, which is given him. "Now." ke says, "I die like Jesus died, at the havd if w my murderera." "Why ?" I asked. "Because I cannot help it." "They move to the scaffold, but kiy move together, look;n int ea:a oth r' fece, cheered and sustained from within by stimulants and from without bv tie cheers of thousands who fLiek as tbey thought and have bean taught by them. When the caps fall over their eyes light is shut out, they Bee each other no more, and are stimulated no mora by the presence of officials and newsparer men, whom they look upon as their eae"They begun to speak; but oh, the last wistful pale, unearthly look of one to lie the cap fell over his face, and he begin, l ot knowing what he was saying, to talk. 3'ius they die, unreoentanL recklessly, v itnout hope, and 10,000 will take courage 1 . do their works of violence, and ie iiw h I as these men died.
