on the Titanic arrived here today on a special train, almost prostrated with brief. The steamer "Sal" had, already been chartered by the Astor estate and was waiting at her pier with steam up when Astor reached here. A sensational story from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to the effect that the Titanic had dashed upon an iceberg while steaming at at speed of 20 miles

an hour had broken in two and sunk while panic raged on board was accepted as one of the many conflicting reports which have been received from various sources, but none of which seem to be well founded. This version of the striking of the Titanic was credited to the British steamer Bruce, bound for Sydney, N. S., which was reported to have learned the details, by wireless.. The story lending by stating that more than 1,000 perished but that the others could have been saved but for the panic on board. Cannot Save Bodies. According to naval survey experts there is no possibility that any bodies of the dead will ever be recovered. They will be caught in the whirl of the Gulf Stream, it was explained, which will carry them the width of the Atlantic and in the meantime they would probably be eaten by sharks or destroyed by the action of the water. HEAR FROM CARPATHIA.

CAPE RACE, N.F., April. 17. Wireless communication with the Cunard

liner Carpathia was established by

the Marconi station there at. 7 o'clock this morning. Capt Rostrom sent additional names of survivors to the

White Star line office in New York

City, but gave no details of the disaster to the Titanic. The wireless worked slowly, and great difficulty

was encountered in deciphering many

of the names. MORE MAY BE RESSCUED NEW YORK, April 17. Steamship

officials in this city grasped eagerly

today at every report which bore hope that other survivors of the Titanic than those "picked up by the Cunard liner Carpathia had been rescued

were headed toward Halifax. The reason this information was not sent from the ship before she docked was due to the fact that she does not carry wireless. Revised lists of the number of persons on board the Titanic and those picked up by the Carpathia, given out today by the White Star Line placed the number of missing at 1,310. Officials of the line said there were 2,178 according to verified cables from the London office; of this number 868 had been rescued by the Cunard liner. Unless others were picked up by othr ships the total of missing stands at 1,310. Those who had relatives and friends on board the lost ship, of whose fate they are still ignorant, resumed their pathetic vigil at the White Star and Cunard offices today. They were cheered by the report that fishing smacks may have saved some of the passengers left on the liner, but were warned not to build up false hopes.

A STRANGE OCCURRENCE. NEW YORK, April 17 The mystery surrounding the sinking of the White Star liner Titanic was deepened today when the Steamer Cincinnati arrived here and reported that a wire from the Titanic that she had struck a berg was picked up Monday night but was followed with the assurance that no help was needed as the Olympic, sister

ship of the Titanic, had responded to the first call. Capt. Schulke of the Cincinnati said that on the night of April 14 his wireless operator picked up a message signed by the Titanic operator saying that the liner had ran into an icebreg. The Cincinnati immediately put about and headed for the Titanic's position. After proceeding for some miles out of her way the operator picked up another message from the Titanic saying no aid was required that the Olympic had heard the first wireless appeal. At the time of the receipt of the message the Cincinnati was about 500 miles from the position of the Titanic. Capt. Schulke said that if he had known the Titanic had gone down he would have cruised about in an effort to pickup survivors, but upon getting the second message from the Titanic he resumed his journey to New York. He could not account for the strange conflict of the facts in the case as shown by the message from the Titanic but said that he felt sure that the Titanic was in no danger after getting the second message or he would have continued to

her assistance.

MANY TOGRADUATE From the Schools in Wayne Township This Week.

With the taking of the final examinations Saturday the students in the common schools of Wayne township will complete their work for this term. It is likely that at least forty students will graduate from the eighth grade to the high school and that fifty will graduate from the seventh to eighth grade.

The examinations for the seventh year students will be held Saturday afternoon in the Grand Army Hall at the court house and the examinations for the eight year students will be held in the office of the county superintendent of public instruction, Charles O. Williams. The latter examinations will require most of the day. Township Trustee Howarth declared this morning that the attendance had been unusually good during the past term and that all school buildings are in good shape. As a rule the attendance of boys in the township schools during the close of the spring term is small, owing to the fact that most of them do not finish the term but quit school to work on the farms. This is one of the noticeable features about

the Wayne township schools this year. The graduation exercises will be held at the High School auditorium May 4.

AN ALARMING REPORT. NEW YORK, April 17. Fears that the Titanic disaster would be even

greater than the wireless dispatches of the last 24 hours had indicated were

from the sea off the Newfoundland

grand banks.

Of these the most authentic was brought to this port by the Captain of the Leyland line freighter Etonian. The commander of this ship today said that he had passed along the

route taken by the Titanic and had

seen a number of fishing boats in the vicinity of the spot where the great ship foundered. He thought that many

of the passengers who could not be

taken off in boats, probably were able

to keep afloat with wreckage and life preservers until they were picked up

by the fishing fleet. The fishing boats.

partly confirmed this afternoon when

the Cunard line received the following dispatch from Winston Thompson, of the Boston Globe, who is a passenger of the steamer Franconia. "Steamer Franconia established communication with Steamer Carpathia at 6:10 a. m. New York time. The latter was then 498 miles east of Androst channel. No need of assistance. Steaming thirteen knots an hour. Expect to reach New York late Thursday evening. Has a total of 705 survivors aboard. Franconia is relaying messages from the Carpathia to Sable Island."
