Striking Ice Island-A Vessel Sunk by
 COIlision-Her Owner Covardly Aban-
 dOned.
 ST. JoHN's, July 9.-Ihe ship Titania, Cap tain Lloyd master, owned by John Rees of Swansea, left St. John's for Miramichi in ballast on Tuesday morning last. Shortly be- fore midnight, under cover of a dense ob- scuring fog, the Titania struck with terrific crash on a huge ice island and in few min utes sunk deep down in it's wake As soon as the vessel known to be irretrievably wrecked Captain Lloyd ordered the boats to be lowered away. The crew got safely out of the ship and all available provisions and stores were secured. MT. Rees, the owner, who was on board and had a considerable sum of money in his possession, got into the smaller boat and placed it is said, away aft in her this money and all his personal prop erty that time enabled him to save. Having forgotten something of importance, he again boarded the sinking ship and, strangely enough, was deserted in his hour of peril by the crews of the two boats and left to go down with the sinking ship No coherent story of the cowardly and high NaSSSA oAOAA tania has been offered as yet by the captain or crew. The ship, after the collision, re- mained above water for nearly three hours. The sea was almost tranquil. A brisk breeze had but recently sprung up and the distance of the ship from the harbor of St. Johns was barely forty miles in southeasterly di- rection. Next morning at six o'clock, when about fifteen miles from the scene of disas- ter the fishing schooner P. l.. Whittou, re- turning from St. Johns to the Grand Banks, fell in with the two boats crews, all well; took them on board and brought them in safely to St. Johns last night. No trace, however, of the money of the unfortunate Rees has been found.
 When Captain Lloyd was interrogated as to the reason of his not waiting or attempting to rescue Rees, he replied that he was a very powerful man, and he feared to board the ship lest he should fling him overheard No two individuals from the ill-fated Titania re- produce the same or even aconsistent account of the unhappy occurrence. It is not sur prising, therefore, that dark cloud of sus- picion has settled on the whole affair, and that challenge not to be ignored has been addressed to the judicial authorities of New foundland to probe the matter to the bottom.

The GaIoxvs-A Murder Expiates His
 Crfme-His Dying Hope.
 CINCINNATI, July 9.-George Allen Price, the murder of Willie Black, was hanged in the yard of the Hamilton county jail this forenoon. On the 3oth day of April, 1879, he shot Willie Black in the office of the latter in this city He was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged on May 2S. On representations that he was insane Governor Foster gave him a respite until July 9. Price was colored, born slave in Kentucky thirty-seven years ago, was freed by the war, and came to Cincinnati, where he has since lived. Willie Black was a tobacco merchant, and for eight years up to a week before his murder kept Price in his employ. About week previous he caused the arrest of Price for stealing tobacco from him, and then only day before the murder bailed him out. Price went to Blacks office and demanded retraction of the charge of lar ceny which was refused, whereupon the mur- der followed.
 The conduct of Price under sentence has been described as cold, hard and unrepent- ant. He had particular adherence of re- porters His redeeming traits were his in- tense concern for his family. Until the age of twelve years Price said he was reared a Catholic, when, through the influence of woman who became his wife, he joined the Baptist Church; that he abandoned years ago, and to the last he refused to have spiritual adviser An hour before the execution the jailer asked him, Are you prepared to die? ?' He answered, ''Yes, I've always been pre- pared to die, ever since was born" To his best friends conversing with him this morn ing he said, q suppose man exists hereaf ter, and if God made me of dust and breathed life into me I'm His own, and I'll trust Him to take of me. I don't want any nonsense about 1t the scaffold.'' This morning he ate breakfast During the forendpn he drank great deal of whis- key, smoked cigars, talked freely and cheer fully sought out prisoners in the jail to ask their pardon in cases where he supposed that he had given offence, and sent word to Judge Longworth, who pronounced sentence, ask ing forgiveness for words used in a letter sent to him. He took occasion to express the most intense gratitude to some ladies who had visited him in jail, and to the wife of the jailer coupled with the wish that there might be hereafter in which he would be enabled to repay the kindness, which was so dear, be- cause rendered when the whole public seemed to be enraged against him.

A Peaceful Prediction-Embarrass Po- sftion of the POrte-FavOrabIe Assur- ances to HIontenegro-The Attempt on the Life of Hassan Pasha.
 LONDON, July 9.-The Daily News this
 morning says 'sThere is no reason to fear
 that an occasion will arise for warlike dem
 onstration on the part of England. The
 European powers are, to all appearances, as well resolved as ever to have the stipulations of the Treaty of Berlin fairly carried out Should they remain in this purpose there can be but one result and that will be peaceful and satisfactory"
 A Berlin dispatch to the Times says
 Turkish diplomatists continue to declare that the Porte cannot but regard the resolu- tions of the Berlin Conference as arbitrary and that it is impossible to concede so large a territory. If the Sultan agreed to do so he would on the one hand lose all prestige with the Moslems, and on the other hand would be unable to pacify the different tribes in the ceded districts The Porte will, therefore, very probably try to expostulate and shirk from carrying out the wishes of the powers by bringing forward new explanations. But the Porte must soon be convinced that the intentions of the powers are this time very serious, and that a reopening of the eastern question by wal would certainly end in the total destruction of the Turkish Empire in Europe. Nevertheless the opinion prevails in political circles here that the Porte will de- cline to accept the resolutions of the confer ence, and that it will be impossibleto to prevent bloodshed between the Turks and Creeks
 A Vienna dispatch to the Times says ''The latest intelligence from Seraievo is that der of Hassan Pasha has considerably abated armament Eyoub Bey, one of the most fanat- ical Mussulmans, with several followers went to him and protested against the meas ure. Hassan Pasha replied by striking Eyoub Bey with stick and the followers of the latter then threw themselves upon Has san, and he was taken to Mitrovitza mortally wounded"
 The Belgrade dispatch Of the sth instant announcing the arrival of Hassan Pasha to be cured of his wounds is probably of later date than the foregoing.
 A dispatch from Pera to the Daily Tele- graph says Favorable assurances have been given by the Porte to Montenegro and Prince Nikita has ordered his representative to re- main at Pera.
 A dispatch to the Pail Mall Gazette from Constantinople says: At midnight of Sunday last three transports left the arsenal for Vola and Prevesay with seven battalions of troops, five batteries and quantity of ammunition. The troops were ordered to disembark stealth fly. The disbandment of four thousand soldiers in Thessaly, whose time has expired, has been forbidden.
