A MARINE HORROR.

LONDON. July 28.-The survivors
of the steamship Laxham, which col
lided with the Spanish steamship
Gijon, report that the evening of the
collision there was thick fog. The
Laxham Was going slow, both steam
ships sounding their whistles. The
Gijon struck the Laxham amldships.
The latter was nearly cut asunder.
The funnel fell and the steam pipe
burst, and the chief engineer was hor-
ribly scalded. Most of the Laxham's
crew boarded the Gijon. Captain
Latham tied his wife and child to him
self and all three were hauld aboard
the Gijon. The Laxhan1 sank in
twenty minutes after the collision.
Not long before the Gjjon bSgan to
settle there was terrible confusion.
The captain stood with a revolver in
hand, but was unable to keep order.
The passengers and crew were fight
ing for their lives. The boats were
lowered and filled to their gunwales,
but could not accommodate half of
the people. Those fortunate enough
to secure places in them were obliged
to keep others off with knives. The
Gijon sank bow foremost. The quar-
ter deck was crowded with men and
women, while the captain and officers
were standing On the bridge. 1t is es-
timated that 130 persons perished.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. July 28.-
There were fully five thousand men
surging around the Jail Saturday
night, demanding the prisoners, but
were not able to get at them. The
jail is guarded by a strong force OF
police, who are offering all the resis-

the crowd. To-day matters have been
quiet, but small crowd was about
the Jail, which is strongly guarded by
a large iorce of officers. No one ex-

admitted. The crowd last night was
composed mostly of boys and hood

has quieted the apprehension of lynch

taken, however. The militia, it is

any occasion arise. Policeman Nc

Alleged Suspicious Circumstances About

st. LOUIS, July 29.-Considerable
excitement existed in one = or more
secret societies here fer few days
past over the death of Mrs. Mary
Mudd, which occurred eight days ago
al effort has bean made to have the
coroners exhume the body to hold
post-mortem. 1t is alleged the lady
belonged to several secret societies,
and that her life was insured in them
for $4,000 for the benefit of the
children OF DR.. Whitmore, in whose
family she lived; and the circumstan-
ces attending her death were very
singular, leading to the suspicion that
she had been poisoned. The coroner
this afternoon declined to take action
in the case, it being shown that tha
lady had been attended by two regu-
lar physicians, and that her death, by
cholera morbns, had been certified to
in proper form.
The affair has created something OF
a breeze, but whether farther action |
will be taken by members of the secret |
societies is not known.
