An effort will be made by Mrs. Chandler to place the child amid desirable f urroundings to grow up unmindful ot the circumstances of iti early life, while a heart broken mother, pierced by the pangs of bitter separation, struggles on alone, cherishing the memory of her offspring and dreaming the dreams of a blasted hope the greatest sorrow of her entire exisanee. The story is an old one to Mrs. Chandler. .She has seen many such cases during her long career in the family in this city, where the husband and father deserted about a year ago, leaving five small children in the care of a sick mother. Four of the children have been placed in desirable homes, but a little blue-eyed girl, five years old, is still looking for a home where she may be well fed and warmly clothed. Police Hear of Cases. Chief of Police Goriuon, received notice this morning to the effect that three homes had been deserted in Richmond yesterday by the fathers of large families.

Palma, Island of Majorca, Feb. l J One hundred and fifty-six persons perished when the French transatlantic line steamer. General Chanzy, crashed in the night on the treacherous reefs near the island if Minorca. Only one man escaped. The vessel was driven helplessly from its course in one of the wildest storms that has swept the Mediterranean sea in forty years. The sole survivor is an Algerian customs official, Marcel Rodel, who was rescued by a fisherman, and who lies today In the hospital at Ciudadola raving as a result of his experience and exposure in clinging to piece of wreckage. In the ships company there were eighty-seven passengers, of whom thirty were in the first cabin. The crew numbered seventy. It is not believed that any Americans were aboard the liner. The ship was under the command of Capt. Cayol, one of the most careful officers of the line. In his long experience he never before had met with an accident, lie had intended to retire from the service in the near future. The Chanzy is a total wreck. Steamers have been dispatched from Spain and from points in the Balearic islands to the scene of the catastrophe. Among the victims was the celebrated Parisian music hall singer, Francis Dufor. as well as other prominent music hall favorites. The passengers of the Chanzy were mostly French officers and officials returning to their posts in Algeria, accompanied by their wives and chilren: a few soldiers, some Italians and Turks and one priest.

Marseilles, Feb. 12 The news of th wreck of the General Chanzy caused I consternation in this city, whence the vessel sailed. Relatives and friends of the passengers and crew rushed to the steamship office, imploring details of the accident. Pathetic scenes were enacted when they were informed that with the exception of one passenger all on board had nerrished. A girl whose betrothed was on board the lost vessel went to the quay about the time of the wreck, which occurred near midnight, in a state of great excitement. She shouted, time and again: "There has been a disaster; I had a vision of it!" The news of the foundering of the vessel did not arrive until many hours later. Capt. Cayol possessed the general confidence. He had received the decoration of the Legion of Honor. He sometimes twitted on his extreme caution. Once, replying to a person who had complained of him because of his caution, he said: "I have eight children waiting for me at home and I am not going to take the risk of sinking for the sake of an hour." Consternation at Paris. At Paris the office of the steamship company was thronged by hundreds of inquirers throughout the evening, most of them having relatives or friends aboard the Gen. Chanzy. There were many children on the passenger list. The officials, however, were not able to give them by reassuring information or encourage any hope others beside Rodel bad reached shore. Further details of the disaster are awaited eagerly. Rodel, who is in a hospital, is unable to yet talk coherently. His mind apears affected by his sufferings, it is reported. The ship had 220 mail sacks aboard. FELL F (American News Service) Laporte, Feb. 12.

Chief Gormon Nominates Charles Stewart for the Ananias Club. ALSO PROVES A "KIDDER." The king of prevaricators, or the grand worthy president of the Ananias club, is what Superintendent of Police Gormon labeled Charles Stewart, a man of leisure, who was jerked up yesterday on suspicion of being an army deserter and subjected to a rigid administration of the third degree. Stewart said that he had been bumming for the past eighteen years and that he had been arrested in every city and town in which he stopped. He appeared to be proud of this fact and is evidently trying to establish a record as the most arrested man in the United States. The man said that he arrived in this city on a fast freight on the New York Central road last evening. He was somewhat of a kidder, for when asked if he had ever worked, shrugged his shoulders and replied that the last job he had held down as that of brakeman on the Wright brothers" aeroplane. The man was dismissed in disgust after he had contradicted himself no less than a dozen times. His description failed to tally with that of the army deserter wanted by L'ncle Sam.
