Big Steamer Crashes Into Her Just ~as She Is Entering Her Slip at New York. '
TWO LIVES KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN LOST
Accident Occurs at Midnight and Not Many Passengers Are on Board - —Scenes of Wildest Execitement as the Boat Goes Down — Treasury Mail Is Leost.”
New York, Nov. I.—The Pennsylvania Railway company’s ferryboat Chicago, plying between Cortland street, this city, and the Pennsylvania railway depot in Jersey City, was cut down by the Savannah line steamship City of Augusta about one o’clockin the morning as the ferryboat was crossing to the east side of the North river. Within a few minutes of the collision, and before the Chicago could ‘make her glip, she sunk in 75 feet of water. It is not definitely known how many passengers were on board the Chicago at the time of the disaster, but the number is variously estimated at from 50 to 100. One man, John Bryson, is known to have been drowned. His body was recFwred. Fireman Vroom, of the Chic% is missing, and is thought to have been caught in the hold. It is notimprobable that other lives were lost. When the Chicago left Jersey City at 12:44 a. m., Capt. William Durham was in the forward pilothouse directing the boat personally, and one of his deck hands was at the wheel. The night was perfectly clear. The tide was ebbing fast, and Capt. Durham on this account was obliged to keep his boat headed well up-stream. As he neared the New York shore he put his helm over to head into the slip, and as the Chicago swung around the captain caught sight of the City of Augusta bearing down on him. She was coming up-stream and very close. Capt Durham gave two blasts of his whistle to signify his intention to pass to starboard, and pulling his helm aport he rang the signal to go ahead at full speed.
The City of Augusta, Capt. Durham says, did not reply to the signal, but kept right in her course. A moment later the City of Augusta rammed the Chicago just abaft her paddle wheel on the starboard side. Scene of Wild Excitement, ;
A scene of wild excitement fol Jowed. - ]
The passengers, post of whom had risen to go to the forward end of the ferryboat to be prepared to leave as she reached her slip, made a wild scramble for life preservers. Fortunately, there were few women aboard—not more than five or six—and at first they were shoved to the rear. George Blunenberg and George Ray, truckmen, who were coming over to the city with their loads of milk, jumped into the middle of the struggling mass and yelled: “Hands off. The women first. Save the women.” .
The Women First.
A score of men took up the shout, and in a trice the women were fitted with life preservers. The small number of passengers did not exhaust the supply of life preservers, but many in their excitement -did not stop to put them on, but leaped overboard unprovided. = It is feared that some such persons must have gone down in the chilly waters before help came. Goes Down with Whistle Blowing. ° The deck hands displayed commendable courage. Capt. Durham and Chief Engineer Penfield set them splendid examples. Capt. Durham was the last man to leave his boat. He kept up a constant call for help with his whistle, and when he finally left he tied the whistle to keep up the sound, and when the Chicago finally went down she did it with her whistle blowing. Engineer Penfield kept his hand on the throttle until the water.put out his fires, and he had scarce time to run on deck and jump overboard when the boat went down. 4 5
“Don’t get excited. She won’t sink,” the deck hands cried, as they ran among the passengers. “Plenty of time.” : 4 5 1
They managed to reassure the majority of the passengers. Capt Durham saw the Chicago was doomed, and he gave the command for all hands to go up on the upper deck. This created a new panic, and men and women by the dozen leaped overboard and struggled to get away from the vortex vghen it came. - Lowers No Boat to Rescue Passengers The City of Augusta“found herself unable for a few mbigent-s to get out of the hole she had mdde. Her anchor chains were entangled in the'splinters, and despite her reversed engines, she was unable at first to do more than pull the Chicago down stréeam with her. The City of gugusta’s nose was clear into the Chicago’s hull. She finally managed to get clear and backed away. No effort was made by her crew to lower boats to help the passengers of the Chicago, who were then in the water by the score, their cries being plainly audible on shore. ] - 7 Beats to the Rescue. 7 . The tugboat Chauncey M. Depew reached the scene before the Chicago sank and took 35 people from the ferryboat and out of the water. The fireboat, the police boat Patrol and several launches were called to the scene and did valuable work in rescuing people. Several small boats were gent out from the nefghboring p{"swiin%es and twos and threes the ‘drenched, chilled and sometimes imcons”cffififis"’f@gfiéniers were brought in to the piers, where they received iRI TR Be L g wwm*wm%%
the driver of a United States mail van going to the New York post office. Besides the vehicle in Bryson’s charge there were on the Chicago a truck belonging :to the Adams Express company, containing $B,OOO in silver bars, two produce trucks, two milk trucks and one other wagon. . To Arrest Boat Captalnq.’ New York, Nov. I.—Coroner Bausch, after a consultation with the harbor police, decided to issue warrants for the arrest of the captainsof the steamship City O{Aggusta.and the ferryboat Chicago, on the charge of manslaughter. The affidavits are signed by the police, and are based on the case of John Bryson, the driver of the mail wagon, who was drowned. : Statemend by the Company. Philadelphia, Nov. I.—The following statement regarding the accident to the ferryboat Chicago was given out at the general office of thé Pennsylvania Railroad company Tuesday morning: . “On the trip from Jersey City to Cort=landt street, New York, at 12:45 Tuesday morning, the Pennsylvania railroad ferry boat Chicago was run into by the Savannah line steamer City of Augusta adjacent tothe New York shoreand sunk within a few minutes up to the roof of the upper deck. So far as can be learned, all the passengers were safely landed with the exception of one truck driver, who was drowned. His body has been recovered. The fireman of the boat is missing. Some five or six teams were on the boat and were lost. The Chapman Wrecking company has its boats and apparatus at Cortlandt street and is now engaged in raising the Chicago. No difficulty iS anticipated in quickly clearing away the wreckage.”
Treasury Mail Lost.
Washington, Nov. I.—The treasury department has received information that all of the treasury mail which left here Menday evening at four o’clock for the subtreasury at New York went down on the ferrybeal Chicago. It is expected that practicaily all of the letters, warrants and drafts will be found on recovery to be decipherable and in that event little delay will be experienced in sending duplicates. Ne money was sent in ‘kat mail.

Washington, Nov. I.—Admiral Dewey. announced to some of his more intimate friends Monday night the fact of his engagement to Mrs. W. B. Hazen, of this city. - Mrs. Hazen is the widow of Gen.

Hazen, the former husband of Mrs. Hazen, died on the 16th of January, 1887, and a son from their union died last year: Admiral Dewey on Monday took possession of his new home.

HOW BALLOONS ARE MADE.
The Fabric of Which They Are Com- . posed Is Put Together witn - e ) .Great Care.
The balloons are manufactured of goldbeater’s skin, which, though small toy ones had been made of it; could not be produced in sufficient quantities'for the large balloons until Col. Templer. invented and perfected the process, which is briefly as follows,says the Pall Mall Magazine: : _ , The goldbeater’s skin is made up of quantities of a certain "thin animal membrane (30,000 of these are required for a balloon of 10,000 cubic feet capacity),which is first freed from all fatty substances and then soaked in a solution of glycerin and water. They are then applied to boards cut in the form and to the size of the gore of the balloon required; others are then superposed, until a thickness of four layers has been reached, great care being taken that no air bubbles remain between the skins. After this fourth layer a method of strengthening is resorted to, in the shape of a nét manufactured of skin. After this net two or three more layers of membranes are applied. The whole is then allowed to dry, and a solution of boiled linseed oil is used as a varnish. .The fabric is then quite indissoluble, and the membranes cannot by any possible means be separated from one another, but sometimes, to render this honiogenity the more perfect, a solution of bichromate of potash is sponged over the fabrie.-

Vaucanson Invented a Marvelous Motor Ome Hundred and Fifty Years Ago. )
If further proof were needed of the dictum that “tlrere is no new thing under the sun,” it has been supplied by an article in the Revue Scientifique, which traces the invention of the autocar to the ingenious mechaniclan, Vaucanson, just 150 years ago. In a memocrandum recently brought to light, it is recorded that Vaucanson was honored in 1748 by avisitfrom Louis XV.for the purpose of inspecting a marvelous carriage that ran without the aid of a horse or any visible means of propulsion. Two persons took thelr seats in .the vehicle, which seems to have been as gorgeous as a sheriff’s carriage, and were driven round the courtyard to the satisfaction of hismajesty and of Duc de Mortemart, M. de Lauzun, M. d’Avezac, and other members of his suite. But, though a promise was secured of royal patronage, the Academy of Sciences declared that such a conveyance could not be tolerated in the streets, and the scheme was nipped in the bud. The motive power was supplied by a huge clock spring, so that only a short . journey was possible, but the gear seems to have closely resembled that of the horseless carriages of to-day.

- Have a noble purpose «in life. Life is yours. What will you do with it? Life without a purpose, a high and true purpose, is a failure. What is your life? It is correct to say that it is what you have chosen to make it. Is this what your heavenIy FKather would have it be? Isit what you would wish it to be when vou eome to the hour of death, and appear before the Judge of all- men? If you say as one has said, “To live is Christ,” you can also say as he did, “‘To die is gains” But if ‘vou say *“To live is pleasure, pride, ease, self or sin,” then what will it be to die? I would have you always remember these four things; life is yours to make it what you will. It is lived but once. It will soon coine to an end. Youare to be judged according to your thoughts, words and deeds. o :* ¥ *
The famous New York physiecian, Dr. Cyrus Edson was asked to give advice regarding the maintenance of, the highest degree of physical health and vigor. He said; “We find in religious teachings the highest hygienic rules that have ever been devised. He who really lives up to the teachings of Chrigtianity will keep his body in a perfectly healthy condition. It has been truly said that the wages of sin is death; and death is caused by the effeet of vice. A vicious person contains in his body the seed of his own destruction. The Christian is the best fitted of all persons to withstand disease and live healthily. Let those who oppose Christianity take this into account in their insane fight against the truth.
I select from Mary Kellogg Carpenter’s Rules for Right Living the following: - ‘l. That it is the object of my life to prepare my soul for the enjoyments of heaven, to do all in my power to assist my fellow-creatures in attaining the same end. %2, That the eye of my God is at all times upon me. -
. “3. That I must keep a constant watch upon my thoughts, words and actions, and nhourly carry on the work of self-examination.
¢4, Let the love of God and gratitude to my Savior for what he has ‘done for me be the predominant emotions of my soul. - “5. Let the example of pnrity and holiness, which Jesus has given us in this life; be my standard of virtue, and let this be the object mnpon which my mental eye is constantly fixed. -* : .
6. Let me ever be striviag to increase my stock of religious knowledge. ) $2 -
+7. Let me=ever remember that prayer is the most solemn act in which I can be engaged, and let me never enter upon it with levity or without preparation. ‘B.
