NEWS FROM THE DISASTER « Many of Its Victims Were Drowned In Their Berths. San Francisco, July 24.—The Pacific Coast Steamship company’s passenger steamer Pomona has arrived in San Francisco from Eureka, bringing from the latter place one of the surviving passengers of the wrecked steamer Columbia and the thirty-two members of the Columbia's crew who were saveii out of her total complement of fiftynine. The passenger Is Mrs. O. Lledel. of this city. Clothed from head to foot in a dark brown ulster and her features bidden by a brown veil tied over her hat and under her chin, she came falterlngly down the plank and made her way uncertainly through the crowd. She held her handkerchief to her face as she walked and when askel by newspaper men for a recital of het experience, she broke into tears* and turned, shaking her head. “I don’t want to say anything. I don’t want to talk." She murmured. Later she stated that she was asleep in her berth when ths accident occurred. She ran out on the deck and leaped Into the sea. as she thought, but fortunately she landed on one of the half submerged rafts and was not badly hurt. The cool head of Second Steward A. Marks saved many lives when the Columbia sank. As soon as the ship struck the steward ran into the “glory hole,” where his men slept, and ordered them to their posts. The men ran through the cabins assigned to them dragging the people out of bed and adjusting their life preservers for

them. When the waiters were about half through their work oh the star-, board side the vessel gave a heavy list, and all those who still remained tn their sttate rooms on that side of the boat were doomed. The vessel filled to the deck and the doors of their cabins were jammed so that they were unable to break their way free before the vessel up-ended and dived to the bottom. ■'-*

Five Blocks Wiped Out, Including Many Residences Homeless Cared for by Friends. Victoria, B, C., July 25. —The greatest fire in Victoria’s history occurred in the evening, destroying five blocks and many detached buildings. Starting in the unused boiler room of the defunct Albion works, the fire wiped out the shacks of the tenderloin, bounded by Herald and Chatham streets to Government street and was carried in a swiri of flying embers from block to block, until five blocks had been wipe dout. From Storer street to Quadra, four blocks eastward, and between Herald and Chatham and Pioneer streets, scarcely anything escaped, and beyond the flying embers carried the Are on to another block, a number of scattered fires starting at distances of several. hundred yards from each other. Firemen aided by the soldiers of the garrison and a host of volunteers fought desperately, pulling down manjbuildings in the path of the fire, which was eventually brought under control at 7 p. m. The loss is estimated rt $250,000.

EXCURSION RATES CONTINUOUS

Railways Not to Change Their Policy in This Matter in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. New York, July 25.—The policy of granting railroad excursion rates for special occasions in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will be continued. This was decided at a meeting of representatives’ of the trunk lines concerned. Recent Igislation in the states mentioned fixed the maximum passenger rate at 2 cents per mile, and it .has been thought possible that the railroad would retaliate by making the maximum also the minimum rate, and so abandon the frequent fall excursions for which a mileage of less than 2 cents has been charged In past years. The whole matter was threshed out at a conference in the offices of the Erie railroad, and following the meeting President Underwood, of the Erie, said: “We decided not to change the present methods, each railroad being allowed to make whatever rates It may choose for this class of traffic. No other matter was considered.”

THEIR BOLDNESS IS INCREASING

Daring of the Hunobakist Creating Consternation Among the Wealthy Rng Dealers. New York, .Tuly^2s.—Acting District Attorney Smyth and an assistant are doing their best to probe deeply into the terroristic methods employed against wealthy Armenians to force them to contribute to the antl-Turklsh movement being worked up by certain of their fellow countrymen. It has been learned that so bold has the Hunchaklst become that within about an hour after the murder of Tavshanjlan threatening letters were mailed to at least a dozen well-to-do Armenians. The rich Armenians here are in great fear of their lives. Conversant with eastern methods of justice, they do not understand why the district attorney does not throw into prison a number of Armenians whose names they "have given tlie authorities. Some of the threatened men are even said to be considering a project to raise a defense fund, hire a rival society and exterminate all the blackmailers and murderers. Others are much less aggressive and counsel yielding to. the blackmailers for the time being and trusting to the district attorney’s office to break up the system.

PIGEON POINTERS.

Information Which Ought (to Be Helpful to the Squab Raiser. Take little stock In the dealer who | tries to convince you that unmated . birds are as good as mated ones. I Stock purchased should be tolerably , young and, above all, In thorough health and condition. I Undersized, delicate, weakly hens I are the moat disastrous scourge to the ' squab producer’s loft. I A squab makes great growth the first twelve hours and after the third day makes rapid progress. Reduce the corn and Increase the quantity of wheat and. peas, as these two grains are more nutritious and better for the growing of young birds. The time to market the squabs is just when they are ready to leave the nest. They are then what pigeon men call ripe. The American Stock Keeper advises breeding from birds with a well developed breast and length of keel, for this is where the epicure looks for the meat. Breed also from light skinned birds, as the dark meated ones always sell at a lower* figure. Pigeons cannot thrive long without grit, and this is one of the chief, reasons why people do not have success K rearing birds. Always keep a sharp lookout for vermin, and promptly fight them. Canker and scrofulous diseases are more or less due to an impure state of the blood, in which cases there should be a- thorough cleansing of the bowels. The sick should be placed in separate and dry coops, and salt added to the drinking water. Fat squabs cannot be produced by overfeeding. This system induces the old birds to put on fat, resulting in lazy breeders and neglected youngsters. Two handfuls of hemp to fifty pigeons is about the right quantity in a day’s ration. An English authority claims that a pair of pigeons consumes on an average a little more than a pint of grain per week. If squabs are killed before they fly the flesh is white, but after that it darkens, reducing the price in market. Birds bred from good foundation stock will show their good qualities for several generations to com® Small, delicate hen pigeons cannot produce squabs that weigh more than seven pounds to the dozen. “Going light’’ is a form of consumption. There are two kinds—the quick and the slow. For the first there is nothing to be done,“but the latter case, if taken in time, may be cured. When molting is the fault, merely pulling out the tall feathers will sometimes effect a cure. Inbreeding is the cause of most cases of “going light” in the pigeon loft

Poultry House With Scratching Shod.

It requires no description to show the practical poultry raiser the value of the hen house one view of which is

given herewith. There may be a thousand of thia general plan for a home for poultry, but In the main, if the best results are desired, this scheme must be more or less closely adhered to.

Treatment of Roupy Fowls.

For roup fill a pail nearly full of water, add a teaspoonful of kerosene oil and then, dip the head of every ailing bird. Do not take much time to do tsi»— just long enough to have the oil penetrate the nostrils and throat Put the birds that have any discharge from nostrils or eyes by themselves. Keep sick and well birds apart Add a few drops of kerosc :? to every drinking dish on the place gnd keep this up until no new cases appear. T*ien clean out every pen of dust, filth end cobvjebs.

Disease Among Pigeons.

In reading about the diseases that pigeon flesh is heir to, It is no wonder that a good many people are deterred from embarking in Un enterprise where such a handicap is against them, Poultry Item truly observes. They would, however, think differently If they could be assured that pl toons naturally are most vigorous, hardy and strong birds. And when common seakp and regular and Intelligent management are given them the question of disease need be no stumbling block whatever.

Preparing Fattening

Where soft food is used extensively for fattening purposes the food is heated in large cast iron cook kettles holding from 100 to 150 gallons. These kettles are made specially for cooking fpod for stock and are supplied by air poultry supply and farm l nplement houses. A lot of food cooked in'one es these covered kettles will keep hot from ten to twelve hours after the fire under the kettle Is out.

A Good, but Neglected Breed.

The New England Poultry Journal, believes that the now neglected, though once pre-eminently popular. Light Brahma, when properly handled is one of our most profitable breeds of fowls. There are a lot of folks who agree with the New England Poultry Journal. \

There Is no best way to feed the different Weeds. Feed anything that will produce results. Whole wheat, oats and barley are good feeds for all varieties ot poultry.
