Terrible Loss Of Life,

FATHER POINT, Quebec, May T.
The steamship Titania from Glasgow
passed inward this morning. She
has on board Is of the crew OF
the steamship State of Flor
ida, that vessel having been sunk by
collision with bark in mid ocean.
Out of 1877 persons on the State of
Florida only A were saved, aud OF
the bark's crew only the captain ard
two men were saved. One hundred
and twenty-three souls went down
with the steamer and twelve with
the bark, making total loss of 135.
The survivors will probably be
landed at Quebec.
New YORK May THE distance
from Father point to Quebec, where
the steamer Titania with the crew Of
the wrecked State of Florida is ex-
pected to land, being nearly three
hundred miles makes it doubtful
whether particulars of the disaster
can be learned until q late hour to-
light.
Austin. Baldwin & Co., general
agents, state the steamship company
received q dispatch, q duplicate OF
the one received by the Associated
Press. 1t reads:
FArHEx POINT, Quebec, May T.
The steamship Titania, inward
bound. has on b1ard "a of the crew
of the steamship State of Florida.
The latter cOllided with 9 bark in
m,d-ocean and went right down.
Out of 1877 persons only A were saved.
The bark also went down with IL
souls. The survivors will be landed
at Quebec tonight.
These dispatches are not inconsis~
tent with the report made by the City
of Rome thstthe ship which signalled
her in mid-oce an had on board por-
ton of tue crew of the State of Flori-
ds, but on the other hard corrobo-
rates that story and leads to the con-
clusion that ~ were not picked up by
the Titania, but rescued by
another vessel. The agents
cannot account for the collision as
the seamen of the State of Florida
were we'll trained and the officers
from the captain down, experienced
and careful.

The Clothing Agitator Of the
Present.
A Declaration Of Principles
That Appeals to Your
Intelligence.
The Gist Of it,

Our special sale of trousers is the
clothing agitator of the present and
it has hosts of followers, for its de-
claration of principles appeals to the
INTELLIGENCE
of buyers. These principles haye al
ready been published and the gist OF
them is that we are selling the
PANTALOONS
included in this sale at about $l.5O
less per pair than you would have to
pay any where else in town for the
same goods. "Well, I don't know
about that" says some one. OF
course you don't and if you did. it
would not be necessary for US to tell
you, and if we were too modest to
tell it some of you might never know
it. Bnt our telling 1t, however enl~
phatically, doesn't make 1t so, nor
do we mean that 1t shall accomplish
more than to lead you to investigate.
If you can be induced to investigate
tnen your own intelligence will
prove or disprove all that we have
said about this special sale of trous-
ers. We don't ask for quick de-
cision but invite you to take pair
home with you under your arm and
there examine the,u critically and
bring them back to us if in your
opinion they are not as good as We
represent. Ifyou can get pair for
comparison from some other dealer,
so much the better.
Very respectfully.
