a Romance Spoiled.

A letter to the New York World
from Long Branch says: "Miss Mile
Coombs, q beautiful orphan of II, and
az heiress with some 100000 in her
own right, arrived here from st. Louis
with her aunt on Monday of last week.
They found that at the West End, at
which it was their intention to stop, no
rooms could be obtained, so they took
rooms temporarily at the Morris Cot
tage. Just before shutdown the other
evening Miss Coombs, accompanied by
two ladies and male cousin, went into
the surf. The surf was somewhat
rough, but Miss Coombs did not heed
it. When about 290 feet from her COM
panions a scream from the young lady
told everybody that she was in danger.
The yonng man, her cousin, FASTENED
with the other two ladies, who were on
the point of fainting, to the shore. In
the meantime the keeper launched the
life-boat and rowed it to the girl. The
screams ceased, and it was believed that
they had swallowed her. Suddenly
dark object was seen to mount wave,
and a cry was heard, "Here! Here!
The boat was directed toward the spo!,
and two persons climbed into it. They
were Miss Coombs and her rescuer,
William Whittlesey, who had been
swimming some distance out in the sea.
Before the boat reached shore Miss
Coombs was cool and collected, pouring
out her thanks 10 her brave rescuer.
When she reached the arms of her
aunt, who was standing on the beach,
a shout went up from the crowd. The
cousin of Miss Coombs approached
young Whittlesey, shook him heartily
by the hand aud, placing a well-filled
wallet in Whittlesey's hand, said "Here
take this" ooh, no, replied the young
man, 81 only did my duty" and all the
persuasions could not tempt the young
inan to accept the proffered wallet. The
young man was persuaded to accompany
Miss Coombs and her friends to their
cottage, where he blushed like school
girl under tho praises poured upon him.
lie uudlly COuocuIcu W dSSSpt SNio
watch and chain, which the girl he
saved will purchase for him. Whittle-
sey is 81 years of age and is clerk in
a railway Office at Iowa City. To re-
porter Miss Coombs said: 81 have been
dying all my life to be the victim of
some real good romance, and | guess l
have got one that will last me for some
time" The young ladies who heard
the story exclaimed that it was real
shame that Mr. Whittlesey was engaged
to. be married to an estimable young
lady residing at Sioux City. The young
heiress herself at first did not seem TO
like it, but it is said obtained young
Whittlesey's consent to stand as grooms-
man at her wedding. There is every
likelihood that young Whittlescy will
start out on his voyage with much bet
ter prospects than railroad clerks sal
airy can give"

An Awful Calamity

The most terrible disaster that has ever
occurred to the people OF Baltimore City
was that by which ovor seventy persons
lost their lives Oh Monday night last.
Mount Royal Beneficial Society (Catholic)
had an excursion to Tivoli, a pic mic re-
sort on the Patapsco River, about ten
miles from Baltimore. There were about
200 people on the pier or wharf at ten
O'clock waiting to get aboard the barge to
return home, when without a moments
warning the pier, which was old and rot
ten, gave way, precipitating men, women
and children into water eight feet deep.
The scene that followed beggars descrip-
ton. Shrieks, curses, groans, mingled
with cries of "God save u.s." In the midst
Of the awful confusion strong men fought
their way out of the clutches of drowning
women and children in their mad efforts
to save their lives, only to be clutched
again and again and finally going down
with those who impeded their efforts in
their attempts to save themselves by cling
ing to them. The people on the barge
threw preservers, stools and benches into
the water, and these struck great many
On the head and knocked them. senseless.
There were but half dozen cool heads in
the lot. AS soon rs possible the barge got
off for the city with a number Of dead
bodies on board. The scene when the boat
reached Baltimore was shocking III the
extreme. In some families three or four
persons were dead. The lamentations Of
those who had lost loved ones were pitt
full to hear. There is mourning all over
Baltimore. So far about seventy bodies
have been recovered.
