The Prices are also af1icted in o terrible man

living in Mount Vernon, wesrchester county, q
mother Of eighty eight and sister. The latter on
hearing the news Of her brother's death was taken
with sudden attack OF disease OF the heart From
this she has net recovered. and It is possible the
attack may prove fatal. The peor old mother has
been completely stunned by the news Of the catas-
trophe, and the effect upon her has been SO great
that 1t also seems probable that her feeble health
will give way under the blow which Providence has
brought upon her In her old age. This death has
completely disorganized the family, and in an In
direct way the loss OF the Atlantic may be respon
sible for two more deaths. "a, - l9ss ,frgs

so, but as poor orphan, and not with either

morning. however, their Joy was transformed to
the deepest sorrow. The HERALD came freighted
with its columns OF thrilling narrative and lists OF
lost and saved. Mr.. Clarke and his sons have gone
to Halifax In hopes that they will at least see
the lileess form OF their lost loved one.
