Hue steamer city ot B0m Francisco
wrecked
San FRANCISCO, May 30.-Ihe City
Of San Francisco left Panama, May
llth, with forty-five cabin and ninety
one steerage passengers, one hundred
and fifty officers and men, with a
cargo valued at seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollar On May 10th,
at 9 q. M, q peculiar tremor was felt
Some unknown object cut the hull
sixty-two feet, and she made water
fearfnlly. The ship turned toward the
shore, and struck the bank at 1920.
The compartments had not burst. The
boats started for the shore, thirteen
miles distant. Not pound of bag
gage was allowed, aud every life was
saved.
Captain Waddell says the seven
steam pumps, of one hundred and
sixty barrels of water per minute, were
absolutely useless. The whole bottom
Is out Of the steamer. He has run
steamers over the spot repeatedly. The
conjecture is that the late earthquake
which was made manifest on the coast
by tidal wave, may have upheaved
u submarine rock. The-ship was going
at eleven knots when she struck. The
captain was on the bridge an hour be-
hre the steamer struck. and timed
everything by his watch. Twenty
minutes after she struck the fires We're
all out. In the twenty minutes she
was running in shore, under full
head Of steam, and ran nine or ten
miles, and then grounded In thirty feet
OF water, on a sand bottom.
The next morning foot of the
stern was seen out of water, the whole
body Of the ship submerged, and the
mizzen mast gone. The baggage OF
the passengers, furniture, etc, is COL.
stantly floating ashore during the day.
The money of the assengers is in the
purser's hands. The ships money and
all the baggage is totally lost.
From interviews with many passen.
gers, / find there is u unanimous sen.
timert of warmest feelings toward the
commander and officers. Every man
says emphatically, that the officers
could have done no nore-they die
all that men could do. The captain
declares that his officers and mer
stood to their duty nobly.
SAN Diego, May s1.-The ofiiceri
and crew OF the flagship Pensacola, a
Mazatlin, contributed five bundret
dollars In cash to the necessities Of tn,
wrecked people, from the steame
City of San Francisco, who lost from
$500 to 5, 1000 each. The theory is tn,
vessel was cut open by an upheava
from the recent earthquake. The yes
eel was ia the usual course at the TIM,
l Of the accident.

ton Of the bible after printing was
introduced, the lecturer stated that
at the time the first bible was
printed by Gottenburg, a copy Of
which he produced, Roman Cathol-
icism prevailed all over Earope,
and it was only fair to say of the
Roman Catholic church that it
printed and circulated the scrip
lures to a large extent, and did not,
as was misstated, endeavor to keep
the bible from the people. DR..
Ginsburg told some amusing facts
connected with the preparation of
the authorized version. One of the
editions which King James l de-
clined to allow the reyisers to use
as help contained marginal notes
which he considered heretical and
republican, The marginal notes
to the passage in the Epistle Of St.
Peter, "Fear God aad honor the
king" was as follows: "That de-
pends upon circumstances; if the
word of the king is in harmony
with the word Of God, obey the
king; but if it is contrary to the
word Of God, obey God rather than
the king"

An american Girl Abroad

Miss Cora Dickson, young girl
of "a, arrived in Paris the other
day from South America. Her life
has thus far been a checkered one.
At the age of Is, tired Of the mo-
notony OF home, she ran away from
her fathers house with a large sum
of money. She cut her hair short
and donned a boys garb. After
becoming in succession a cabin-bcy,
a clerk and horse dealer, she
turned ND in Buenos Ayres, where
she entered the army, still disguised.
She distinguished herself in the
service, and became colonel.
Some months ago, at a meeting of
officers, she quarreled with one of
those present. A duel followed,
and she killed her adversary. On
examining the dead mans papers,
she found that she had killed her
oldest brother, who had left home
when she was TWO years of age.
Horror-stricken, she threw herself
at the bishops feet who promised
to intercede with her father.
