DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
The Steamship Daphne Capsized
Immediately After Leaving
the Ways at Glasgow.
A Large Number of People
Drowned.

A cable dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland,
says the steamship Daphne tipped over on
her side, capsized and sank in midstream
while being launched in the Clyde. About
100 persons persisted The vessel, with up
ward OF 200 workmen aboard, left the ways
at very rapid rate. AS she gained the
water she rolled from side to side When
opposite Renfrew, about five miles above
this city, the human freight was seen rush
ing to and fro. The ship gave furious
lurch, rose clear above the water and disap-
peared as IL by magic
Those who had chung to floating pieces OF
the wreck did their utmost to save their
drowning comrades. Eye-wtnesses saw
great number struggling and shrieking for
help. Many were bruised and covered with
blood, having been struck by the debris
Boats were pulled hard to aid In rescuing
the unfortunates; many were thus saved
A number or men at the ships yard, on
the opposite side of the river, witnessed the
disaster, but were unable to render any as
sistance They Immediately set to work
saving the people struggling in the water
They say some of the men on the steamer
jumped overheard and others were thrown
overheard and that q quantity of loose fit
tings fell from the deck and crushed many
unfortunates struggling in the water A
number Of swimmers were visible directly
were afterward seen to sink. Six men were
seen clinging together Four endeavored
to climb upon the steamer as she was sink
ing, but were forced to desist by rush of
steam from the portfolio Some climbed
upon the keel just before the ship was sub
merged
Many who were dashed into the water
swan ashore. Several of those picked up
were so exhausted that it was found neces-
sary to remove them to hospitals.
According to the stories OF witnesses and
survivors, the vessel left the slip too rapid
ly, causing her stern, which entered first
to sink deeply in the water. She wasvthen
caught by the strong current of the river,
by which, as well as her topweight, she was
caused to keel over SO far that the water
entered her port. She had all her machin-
cry aboard when launched She is now
completely under water. She was con-
structed for coast trading, and was Of 500
tons burden.
Crowds of stricken relatives lined the
quays all day. Whenever a dead body was
taken out and recognized heartrending cries
drowned the splash of busy oars
A later despatch says: A diver reports that
the bodies in the hold OF the Daphne are SO
closely packed that he was unable to move
them. Preparations are being made to raise
the vessel Fifty-two bodies have been re-
covered 1t is now estimated that so per-
sons were drowned by the sinking of the
Daphne

How IYon Used 90 be 0Os Fsom the
Minss In Africa.
Mr.. Pinto gives the following intsrssing
description Of the early method Of mining
iron ore - praeticsd In Africa. He states
that during the COOLEST months-that il 70
say, June and July-ths miners leave their
homes and take up their abode in extensive
sncampments near the iron mines, which
are abundant in the country. In order to
extract the ore they dig circular holes or
shafts from 10 10 Is feet in diameter. but
not more than six to seven feet deep. this
arising, most probably, from their want Of
suitable means TO raise the ore to greater
elevations. Mr.. Pinto examined several
Of these shafts, and found them all Of .
similar character. As soon as enough ore
for the work Of the year has been extracted
the opera alton Of separating the iron 10
commenced. This il done In holes Of no
great depth, the ore being mixed with
charcoal, and the temperature being raised
by means Of primitive bellows, combating

diameter, followed out to Q depth Of four
inches, and covered with two tanned goat
skins, to which are fixed two handles 20
inches long and . half inch thick. By =
