The Wrecked steamer.

Simmons, of the steamer Newport, who came
through the Sound the same night the Rhode
Island was wrecked, reports that the fog
whistle at Beaver Tail Light, opposite Bon
net, where the steamer struck, was not
blown, and that had it been in use he or
some Of his officers could have heard it, as
they were keeping sharp lookout on ac
count of the fog. Captain Simmons made
his report before learning of the accident to
the Rhode Island. The sea has made COM
plete wreck of the steamer, and the only
parts of her which will be saved are the en-

Shot by an Insane Man.
NEW YORK, November 7th.-Sister Ger
trude Verena, of st. John the Baptist Home,
a charitable institution of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, East Seventeenth street,
was shot and seriously wounded to-day by
Thomas Stanton, an insane man. Sister
| Gertrude was wounded twice in the right
thigh, once in the ankle and once in the left
| hand. She fell unconscious into the arms of
| the other sisters just as they opened the door,
and but for their timely appearance Stanton
would probably have killed her on the spot
The physician who dressed her wounds pro-
nounced them serious, but not necessarily
| fatal. She said the man was a total stranger
| to her. Stanton, when arrested, said he had
been bewitched by some one, and thought
Sister Gertrude was the person who had be-
witched him, but saia he did not know.
