It may be that the editor had other
and more serious objections to the ap-
pearance Of Miss Coombs at this time in
Parkersburg, and that be simply chose
this argument as more likely to discour'
age the sons Of Belial from patronizing

object.

Wreck of the Steamer Atacama
on the ChiIian COHst--One Hun.
dred Lives LOSt-All Of the OFF.
GERS Drowned,

CCEb DEo"hCus
PANAMA, December 25.-The Ssar and
Herald has a letter from Lima giving the
particulars OF the loss Of the steamer
Atacama, which went to pieces on rock
known as Quibra 0las, short distance
south Of Caldera, on the Chilian coast, on
the night OF the 3Oth ult. The Captain
and all OF the officers and many Of the
crew and passengers were lost. In all, 1t
is estimated that one hundred and one
persons were drowned aud twenty-nine
saved. The ship was on trip from Val.
pataiso to Callao. She struck at 8 P. NJ,
when msjOrity Of the passengers were
below, and 80 instantaneous was the
breaking.up Of the ship that no time was
given them 10 gain the deck. The cargo
lost was not OF great value, and the pas
sengers were mostly Chilians iournsying
between the ports.
Mr.. Kennedy, agent for tae Pacific
Steam Navigation Company at Chanaral,
was returning from Valparaiso on his
wedding trip. He managed to fasten a
life belt on his bride and threw himself
with her in the water, but before they
could e1tricate themselves from the aoat.
ing debris a spar fell, striking the lady
on the neck, causing instant death. The
husband afterwards reached the shore,
and the body Of the bride was washed
upon the beach. The bodies ol Captain
Lambert and the Purser were recovered.
Later news says that the passengers
numbered 81 and the crew 70, total 1874.
1t appears that the shock burst certain
pipes connected with the boilers, and the
escape Of steam, mixed with cinders, pre-.
vented anybody getting on deck to lower
the boats, with the aid OF which, and the
life buoys, all on board might have been
saved. The total number saved is thirty.

CLEVELAND, O.. January 5.-Dr. Web.
er, for many years President OF the ST.
Vincent Charity Hospital, and 4 mar
who has done more for the institution
than any one else in the city, withdrew
there.from to-day. The Hospital is 1
Catholic institution, under the charge o.
the Bishop OF the diocese. For some time
past DR.. Weber has complained to Bishop
Gilmour Of the conduct OF the lady Supe
rior who has charge Of the institution
Just what the charges against this lady
are is not stated, further than intoxica'
tion and other irregularities. The Bishop
has promised repeatedly to change the
lady, but has failed 10 do so. Just why,
no person is at present prepared to say.
Friday DR.. Weber announced to his class
in chemical lectures that he could no
longer endure his connection with
the Hospital and retain his self
respect. The Bishop was asked
to-day by reporter what ex.
cuse he could give for retaining the Lady
Superior, cognizant that such charges
had been made against her. He replied
that he was not responsible to the public
for his actions, and mo matter how many
charges they bring against members OF
this institution demanding removals, |
must say, my dear friend, I must govern
my own house in my own way" He
says, however, that change would pro-
badly have been made at an early day.

He was in the army in 1914 and fought

Reporter Office at Washington from 1918
up to 1850, since which time he has
twice been Postmaster and once clerk in

"Knights Of iiberty--New Nation
Al Labor Party.

New YoRK, January 5.-A special
from Reading, Pa, dated yesterday, says
The Knights Of Liberty, delegates from
the order "Members Of Stars" who have
been in session in this city since Monday,
under the presidency Of Mr.. Stephens, Of
Philadelphia, adjourned to-day, after
being in session the greater part Of last
night. The greatest secrecy seems to
surround this organization, II being i'm.
possible TO learn anything definite as to
their object, or what has been done by
them while in session here. The dele.
gates have the appearance Of being me-
chanics and workingmen. They come
from all over the country, there being
some from San Francisco, 81. Louis, In.
diauapolis, Louisville, Chicago, etc. The
organization is the strongest in Ohio, and
in Mahoning county especially. In
Youngstown every official belongs to
the order, from the sheriff and
the Mayor down 10 the constabulary.
The following information has been re.
ceived from a member: Roman Cath i.
olics and Protestants are alike admitted
to the order. Their object is the forma-
tion OF new National party, in the in
terests Of labor and more currency. The
organization'insists on the reconciliation
OF silver and the payment Of the debt in
silver coin, not in gold. The members
spoke in favor OF Governor Young, Of
Ohio, and claimed him az a member.
There is State branch Of the orgauiza.
tion in every State where it has made
any headway, and there is also central
organization TO which the State orgauizA-
tiOns report, but very few know the
name Of the central organization except
the Secretary to whom they report, aud
whose name the informant declined to
diyulge. Governor Reif, Chairman OF
the Greenback Executive Committee Of
Berks county, and a resident Of this city,
attended some OF the meetings, but de-
clined to give any information. He said
that all their proceedings are auder a
pledge OF secrecy. There were between
so and 90 delegates present at the con.
vention, and their presence and object
excite the liveliest interest among our
citiZans
