A Terrible Disaster.

A heartrending scene occurred last
| week in the collision of the steamers
on Long Island Sound-Narraganset
and Stonington-resulting in the total
destruction of the Narraganset and
great loss of life among her passengers.
A dense fog prevailed and the collision
occurred about midnight when all the
passengers were asleep. In moment
there was terrible confusion. Men,
women and children in all stages ofun-
dress rushed frantically from their
berths, and rushed to the upper deck.
In two or three minutes after the col
lisiOn flames burst out and imm edI
ately enveloped the entire vessel The
scene was frightful. The shrieks and
cries of passengers were distinctly
audible on the Stonington; they could
be seen leaping into the water and rush
ing frantically in all directions. BY
some blunder the plugs in the life boats
were left out, and they filled with water;
this caused additional delay. The men
in the boats did not know how TO row
them. Many of the passengers rescued
were badly scalded; others, half naked.
The scenes subsequent TO the collision.
boats crew discovered an old lady
struggling in the water, and when they
pulled to where she was. it was discov-
cred she clasped an eight months old
infant, her grandchild, closely into her
breast The two were picked up. The
collision, fire and sinking Of the Nara
gansett occurred within such short time
that many in their rooms asleep at the
time must have been lost The shrieks
and cries of terror Of the men rs well
as the women were terrible. brutal
deck hand, in life boat, beat the fin
gers of an old lady desperately clinging
to the side Of the boat. She begged to
be saved, but was finally compelled TO
let 90 her hold and was probably drown

mother, who died on the Stonington,
after being rescued was saved. Mrs.
E. NJ. Soule, of Boston was heard TO
say to her child: Nellie if ! jump

child replied: Il viii mamma" Both
were saved. Charlie Clure boy, was
placed on the raft by his father and
saved, but the father was drowned.
Mrs Frederick Still5on. Of Atlanta, Ga,
awakened by the noise, ran to her broth

for him when they went back into the
saloon, where her two little children |
were asleep. The smoke was so sitting
that they could not 60 in to save them,

Speaker RandalI's Mother.
Philadelphia Press.

The widow of Josiah Randall died on
Saturday evening, and her funeral will
take place tomorrow. She had nearly
completed her seyenty-seventh year.
Years ago, when the present generation
was in its swaddling clothes, the good
people of Philadelphia had nine days
talk over the marriage Of Josiah Ran
dali, then young lawyer, and Joseph
Worrell's daughter; Worrell and Ran
dali had been boon companions. Wor-
rell well-to-do in his trade as boss car
penter. Randall well-to-do when eli
ent was found to so far recognize his
ability as to place in his hand retain
ing-fee. The intimacy of the men led
to an introduction Of Randall into Wor-
rell's family. The consequence-well
it was the old, old story. Josh Ran
dali loved Joe" Worrell's daughter,
and Joe" Worrell's daughter loved
Josh" Randall The stern parent OBJ
jected to the match and an elopement
followed. The winsome daughter was
reconciled to her father, but no plead
ing, however loving, could bring togeth-
er, in good fellowship, the two men who
had been boon companions. While
the whole town was agitated over
the escapade, while the friends on the
one side and friends on the other side
were angrily arguing the right or wrong
of Josiah RandalTs act, the question of
his good judgment in the selection of a
wife was settled by that wife herself
Forsaking father and family friends, she,
like Ruth of old, placed her hands in
those of Joshiah Randall and in all the
confiding nature of a true and loving
woman syllabled: "Where thou goest
will go; thy people shall be my peo-
pie; thy God my God; and where thou
art buried there will be buried also"
the history of Josiah Randall, his
success in life, is too familiar in every
household in this city to need re, at
ing. The family that his wife has rait /
has proved the match she made in OF
position to her family was well chosen.
To-day around her bier are grouped her
sons, honored in the law, the eldest, the

fcer Of the highest legislative body in

The Strongest Man in the WOrld--Why
Doesn't Rarnum Get Him!

At Reno, in Nevada according tcsone
of Mr.. r. A. ProctOr's letter to an English
journal, there now lives man who is
probably the strongest in the world.
His name is Angelo Cardela. He
is an Italian, aged IS years, five teet
ten inches in height, and weighing 800
pounds. He is laborer of temperate
habits, but not Directing to the moder-
ate use of malt liquors and light wines.
In personal appearance he is not re-
markable, but merely good-natured
looking son Of Italy, with a broad, heavy
face, noble development OF chest and
shoulders and large, fieshy hands. His
strength was born with him for he had
no atletic training This strength does
not reside in his hair by any means, but
apparently as much in his bones as IN
his mucles. AT any rate, he differs from
other men chiefly in his osseous shuc-
ture. Though he is not of unusual &iZe
his spinal column is double the Ordinary
width, and his other bones and joints
are made on a similarly large and gen
erous scale. He has been known ~ lit
a man of 200 pounds weight with the
middle finger Of his right hand. The
thing was done a. follows: The man TO
be lifted stood with one foot on the floor
and arms outstretched, his hands being
tightly grasped by two friends, one on
each side, to preserve the balance Of the
body This slight assistance, We are as
sured, ''had no tendency to raise the
body, being merely to keep it fom top-
ping over" Cardela then stopped down
and placed the third finger Of his right
band under the hollow ofthe mans foot,
on which he was balancing, and with
scarcely any perceptible effort raised
him to the hight Of four feet, and depos-
tied him standing on a table near at
hand. It is sid that two powerful IRISH
men. living near Verdi, in Washoc
county, Nevada, waylaid Cardela with
intent to thrash him; but he seized one
in each hand, and beat them together till
life was nearly hammered out Of them
He is, however, of quiet and peaceable
disposition. His strength seems to have
been inherited, for he states that his
father was even more powerful than he
