PACIFIC STEAMSHIP WRECK.
SAN Francisco, April 2O.-A dispatch
from Astoria says the Great Republic is GO
ing to pieces. No lives lost. Passengers
transferred to the Astoria. The captain and
crew, ashore on Sand island, will be taken
off this afternoon. The freight and baggage
is total loss. Last night the wind rose and
heavy sea began to roll in and is breaking
now where the vessel lies. All accounts
agree that the disaster was due to an at
tempt to enter at night when it was very
dark. The ship was badly out of her course.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2O.-A special from
Astoria at APO this afternoon says the tugs
Brennan and Columbia just returned from
the wreck of the Great Republic. Captain
Davis, pilot Diaz, boatswain, name unknown,
and ten other seamen and walters are still on
board the vessel endeavoring to save the
freight and baggage, but with very poor sue
cess in consequence of the severity of the
storm. At 1925 the last tug arrived
bringing news that at 12
O'Clock the last boat left the ship
with first officer Lennon, Mr.. Davis, second
officer, the boatswain, two sailors, eight
walters, ten of whom, Lemon, Davis the
boatswain and seven others were drowned by
capsizing of the boat in the surf. Three
men clung to the boat and drifted ashore.
The ship is going to pieces, and is breaking
up very fast. The main mast fell during
the night. Capt. Carol has from the very
first maintained great discipline and order,
and up to the very last by in
spring the passengers with confidence
of safety prevented a panic. All landed
without loss of life. The town is full of
people, many of them without money. The
churches, public buildings and residences
are all being thrown open for the accommo-
dation of passengers who have lost every.

THROUGH TREsTLE.
ST.. Louis, April ia St. Joseph, Mo-,
dispatch says to-morrow's Herald will con-
tain particulars of serious accident which
occurred this morning on the Kansas City
branch of the Hannibal & st. Joe road. As
freight train No. bound west was running
down heavy grade trestle bridge was dis
covered to be on fire, and in spite of all Of
forts to check the train it ran on the trestle.
The engine passed nearly over, fourteen cars
breaking through, one after another, and
piling an immense wreck in the creek below.
All the cars were soon wrapped in flames,
and with their contents entirely consumed.
The engineer stood at his post to the last,
only saving himself by jumping as the engine
turned over. The fireman jumped before
reaching the trestle. Conductor Murray had
his leg broken. Two men were sleeping in
a car of household goods, and we're buried in
the wreck. Mr.. Bailey was badly injured
when rescued. The other, young man,
could not be saved, the fire spreading so rap
idly all efforts had to be abandoned. Con-
ductor Jones was close behind with an extra
train. He rendered all the assistance he
could, and took the wounded back to Kear-
ney, where they received medical assistance.
Mr.. Bailey and the young man were from
| Illinois on their way to Kansas. AT Quincy
MIR. Bailey put his family on the passenger
train and thus saved them.
