STEAMER SINKS A SCHOONER

Two Men and a Woman on the Latter Vessel Are Drowned. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 28.—The steamer City of Erie, from Cleveland, ran down a schooner supposed to be the Eccleston, hailing from a Canadian port, off Erie, Pa. The schooner sunk and three of her crew—two men and a woman—went down with her. Two men were rescued by small boats, but were unconscious. Passengers on the steamer were thrown from their berths by the collision. _ t
