COLLISION OF THE ARIZONA.
The Story Of n Passenger.

New YORK November 10. Mr.. O'Kelley
a correspondent of the New York Herald
who was a passenger on the steamer Arizo-
na which collidcd with an iceberg at ten
minutes past nne Friday evening, says the
passengers were listening to a song from one
of the ladies when suddenly terrific crash
came, throwing half of the occupants sprawl
ing on the floor. Terror was marked on
mary faces, but the only cry heard was from
ffcers on deck, "steady gentlemen,
ST. keep cool'. The night, though over
cas- was not dark.
The ship was going at the highest speed
when she plunged her head into a mountain
of ice. She recoiled, bnt again advanced and
struck the iceburg but with diminished
force. The first blow stove in her bows.
Tons of ice fell upon her deck, or were
forced into the hole in her bow. Full fifteen
feet of iron were broken and forced inward.
Groups of silent passengers gathered on deck
expecting every moment to be engulfed.
The iceburg extended some 500 feet across
the bow, and three pinacles lowered sixty to
seventy feet, threatening to toPple over the
ship. Capt. Jones. who had gone below a
few minutes, rushed on deck and gave an
order to back the engines. In few mo-
mcnts we got clear of the danger. Examina-
ton of the fore hold showed the Arizona to
be water tight. This tranquilized the pas
sengers and they gradually retired to the
saloon.
At the moment of the collision several of
the crew were in their hunks, but all were
rescued, three of them being in bruised and
bloody condition. The passengers in the
cabin were also wounded, Miss Kddee of
Scotland sustaining severe injuries, and Mr..
Carr had his knee badly hurt. After their
return to the saloon, at the suggestion of

I'm the Track of Swindlers.

Detectives of this city are investigating the
operations of a gang of persons who have
succeeded in organizing very thorough sys-
tenn of swindlng in various parts of New
England, whereby several farmers and others
have been victmized to extents ranging from
500 to $500. The plan of their operations
seems to be securing notes from parties in
payment for articles promised to be delivered,
and having such note purchased thereafter by
other parties at considerable discount,
whereas the goods are never delivered. One
swindler is reported to have obtained $1,000
worth of negotiable paper at one place in
Maine.

Not Guilty.
BOuleau's Guilt Settled Beyond IA
Doubt.

BANGOR, November 10. Joseph Bouleau
was arraigncd in the Bangor police court this
morning for the murder of James J. Norris
at Bradley on Friday night last. He plead
not guilty and was committed for examina-
ton Thursday at 10 o'clock.
The murder still causes considerable ex-
citement here. Another examination of the
amount of money secured by the murderer is
only S37l. The town of Bradley had no
funds in the safe, but was owing Mr.. Norris
money at the time. The Coroner's jury
have adjourned until Saturday. Several
witnesses were examined to-day, and the Off
GERS were also able to identify the pocket
rule and knife as belonging to Mr.. Norris.
This settles the question of the Frenchman's
guilt beyond doubt He seemed less de-
fiant in the court room this morning than at
any time since he was arrested. The officers
now think the Frenchman committed the
murder alone, but that he may have friend

A Reign Of Terror in Eastern Kentucky.

CINCINNATI, November 10. The Enquir-
ers's special from Owingsville, Ky, gives a
distressing account of affairs in counties in
eastern Kentucky. Law abiding citizens are
arming and organizing to defend them
selves and courts against assaults and threats
of so-called regulators, and stop the reign of
terror which exists. SO far has this been
carried that no one dare report or have in
dicted any of the recent murderers. An or
ganization has been formed in Rowen comfy,
swelling to 800 men. They will see the laws
protected, and if need be drive the regulators
from the county. The regulators have
visited the magistrates in upper Rowan Co.,
and notified them that they must hold pris-
oners at preliminary trials by their orders,
under penalty of a midnight visit from Judge

Two Teams i'm Collision.

A somewhat singular occurrence took
o'clock Sunday night. Joseph W. Patterson,
Esq. was on his way home from church with
his team, and as he was driving along Stone
street not far from his residence, another team
driven by Mr.. Elery Wing came down upon
him from the opposite direction. As the two
teams collided Mr.. Wing was thrown out
over the dasher of his wagon and it is won
derful that he sustained no injury as he
is very heavy man. The horse which he
drove went down and breathed his
last not long afterwards. The carriage was
somewhat damaged. In Mr.. Patterson's
team there were besides himself his wife,
Mrs. Benedict and her son Milo, but none of
them received any injury. The horse got his
leg caught in most strange manner in one
of the forward wheels, so that it could only
be got out by saving of one of the spokes.
This leg was badly scraped. The carryall
was badly broken up, and the heavy forward
axle was bent and broken to a greater extent
than could hardly seem possible.
The night of the occurrence was very dark
and the scene ofthe collision was made more so
by the street lamps which stood some distance
away. Mr. Patterson was driving way out
on one side of the road and the other team
driven at rapid rate and to the left of the
centre of the street, as Mr.. Patterson says.
Mr.. Wing says that possibly the horse driven
by him was suddenly taken sick, as he is
quite old and hasn't been well lately,
and so pitched over against Mr.. Patterson's
team as they were driving by each other.
The horse which was killed was owned by
Mr.. w. Wing, the one who was driving him
being a relative.

Hiram Clark's Carriage Business.


Some five years ago Mr.. Hiram Clark
came to Augusta from West Amesbury, now
Merrimac, Mass, where he was and had
been employed for some four years in one of
the best carriage establishments in the place.
In looking about the city he thought the car
riaQe repairing stand where he is now located
lust at the foot Of Rines hill, good one, and
he, and man named Kendall, obtained the
place and began business there. For several
months the partnership continued but at the
end of that time they dissolved, and Mr..
Clark has since carried on the business alone.
He was good workman, for he had learned
eyerv branch of the carriage work, and he
gave strict attention to his business. The re-
suit was that customers began to gather and
year by year business increased so that this
season it has been better than ever before.
Mr.. Clark now has three workmen and in driv-
ing times employs four. To do his woodwork
he has Just obtained man who has been in
the employ of ofWingate, Simmons & Co. of In
ion. The establishment Of Mr.. Clark's did
mot present very good appearance a few
years ago, but the wood and paint shop have
since been set back from the street, and the
iron shop raised five feet, so that the place
wears greatly improved appearance. Tha,
Mr.. Clark has succeeded so well In his under
taking here can be ascrbed to the fact that he
has applied himself to business, and has done
his work well and faithfully.
