i-went do.wn with the mighty liner was - the thrilling Btory told by a wireless despatch, sent from the Carpathia today and intercepted at the station ' here. The message stated that the passengers were being taken off when the great boat wen down. Some of the .boats caught in the suction caused by the sinking liner were overturned and dragged to the bottom of the Atlantic, making it impossible to succor even all of those who might have been acO'commodated by the life boat on the .'vessel. The message read: "PasBenIgers were being removed when the Ti'tanic sank. Many life boats went down with the wrecked steamer. It was impossible to remove all those on board. (There was no other ship in sight." ;, To this message which was sent 'shortly before noon, was added this ! additional information about Carpa'thia, "heavy winds and fog, proceeding Slowly."

Wireless communication between this tug and the Carpathia today confirmed the death of Col. Astor. There are

Following Father Mattingiy Father J. F. Stanton of Bramble, Ind., a formejr Richmond man, made an address in which he paid high tribute to the Rev. Mattingiy. He said that the purse presented the popular priest had .a deeper signi Seance than the amount it contained. He said it meant a vindication of the work done at the local

the clergy attended: , Rev. J. F. Mattingiy, West Baden; Rev. D. G. Manning, Richmond; Rev. E. A. Cobb, Richmond; Rev. F. A. Roell, Richmond; Rev. Edward Bauer, Richmond; Rev. J. F. Stanton, Bramble, Ind,? Rev. 1). J. Halpen. Chillicothe, O.; Rev. Hyland, Eaton, O. Some time ago at a meeting of the laity ofSt. Mary's parish it was decided

ceived from Commander Chandler of the scout cruiser Salem by the Navy department today. This was his message: U. S. Cruiser Salem, 8 a. m. "Can get no information from Carpathia of any kind although she is within radio communication. She sometimes acknowledges calls, but will not admit receipt of messages or make reply. Cannot believe that she has failed to understand message I have sent her."

HENRY HARRIS DROWNED. . NEW YORK, April 18 Hopes of ("persons who had relatives or near friends on the Titanic were shattered or revived ' today by the continuous ! stream of messages flashed from the Carpathia, which is bearing the survijvors. Some of them convey former and ! "vague reports of death. Very few gave tany hopes to those who were without i-deflnite hope today. One of the first messages received was from Mrs. Henry B. Harris, wife of the theatrical producer, and read: "Am safe. Pray 'that Henry has been picked up by an(other steamer. Arriving on Carpathia." ' When it was learned- that Harris . was not on the Carpathia, his friends abandoned their last faint hope.

ASTOR'S BODY RECOVERED. NEW YORK, April 18. The fcew York financial bureau announced to-

iday hat It had received a witrelss mes- : sage from the Carpathia stating that ; the body of John Jacob Astor was be- '. Ing brought to New York by the CuI nard liner. The message relating that Astor's body was on the Carpathia Is " said to have come via Highland Light, iMass.

NOTED MEN DROWNED. NEW YORK, April 18. While full

details of the sinking of the White Star liner Titanic off the New Foundland ba nks have not yet been learned sufficient has been gleaned from

the fragmentary wireless messages which have seeped through a scorv; of stations along the Atlantic coast to give a vivid impression of the scenes which accompanied the final plunge of the $10,000,000 floating palace. From these dispatches the following features stand f(rth in the sea's greatest tragedy: Noted men agong the passengers sacrificed their lives that women, children and the helpless might live. Among them wer Maj. A. Butt, military aid to President Taft; Col. John Jacob Astor, multi-millionaire land owner; Isidor Straus, noted philanthropist; Wm. T. Stead, the English journalist; C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk railway; J. B. Thayer, millionairs failroad man; Geo. B. Widener and many others. ." The officers and crew behaved with heroism in the face of death. Captain E. J. Smith stood upon his bridge with folder arms as the liner took her final plunge.i: Many of the women passengers, plunged from the gayety of evening to the hysteria of death-panic, were carried fainting to the life boats by members of the crew.

St. Mary's Hall, where he was present

ed with a purse of $1,"500. subscribed by the parishoners as a token of their love and appreciation of the work he had done for the parish. This was significant as Father Mattingiy's resignation from the local pastorate was the

result of opposition to his building plans on the part of a few members of the church. Father Mattingiy was completely overcome by the reception accorded him and the purse he received, and for a space of time was unable to reply to the presentation address. When he

(had finally mastered his emotion he

made a masterful response and at the conclusion of his remarks there were

to devise some way to properly recognize Father Mattingiy for the work he had done for the parish. The following committee was appointed to take charge of the work: Carl RinghotT. Thomas F. Ryan. Christopher Connor, P. F. Shinn. Ernest Renk. R. L. Adams. Lillian M.

Shofer. Anna Mulligan, Mrs. Thos. F. Carroll, Mrs. J. F. Maher.

This committee was last evening and today highly complimented for the success of its efforts. One of the features of the entertainment at St. Mary's Hall last evening was a welcome chorus, written by two young women members of the congregation, set to the music of "Silver Threads Amongst the Gold." a favorite song of Father Mattingiy. Miss Mable Steinkamp effectively sang the solo part and was accompanied on the piano by Miss Lucile Carney. The song follows:

Father, we are here tonight Honor and respect to plight.

Since you left us all alone We have very lonely grown.

But we trust contented you will be And your face vge oft may see; Yes, our thoughts will follow thee

Ever proving constancy. Chorus. Father, may we kindly offer you. Words of welcome fond and true, And we'll cherish day by day Your kind deeds, though far away. From our loss may you reap gain. Far removed from care and strain;

Is our one wish most sincere To you and Brother Clergy here. May we profij by the lessons taught When from you advice we sought. And we trust wherever you may roam You'll claim fair Richmond as your home.

MAYOR AIMS BLOW

AT THE T. H I. & E.

Adding insult to Injury, the mayor this morning at the meeting of the

board of works. Instructed the city ttorney, A. M. Gardner, to investigate and report to him the legality of a proposed ordinance, making It compulsory for the street car company to

furnish a seat for eaph passenger oni

every tar. or not to accept payment

for the ride. The ordinance would also include the stipulation that the con-, ductor could not eject passengers -who were forced to stand. This question has been threshed out tn practically, every court in the country, and probably will be threshed out here. If an ordinance of this nature is valid and legal, the city council will be asked to pass upon the merits of the same at its next meeting.
