had nine feet Of water N II, Death seemed
to stare the crew IN the face, for there
seemed 70 be little safety in open boats In
such sea. All hope seemed TO be gone,
when, at $3.50 Tuesday afternoon. the State
OF Nebraska was sighted. II was $50 when
the chief officer OF that vessel boarded the
laundering vessel. lie advised Captain
Bennett To leave her at once, as there
! was no chance 20 save her. She was
wailowing In the sea, rolling so badly that
Il was impossible for the men to keep their
feet on her decks. Every sea swept her bull
warks. Al 7:30 the last boat, containing
the captain, chief officer, and chief engi-
neer, left the Noting Hill, which went to
the bottom within six hours afterward, In
all probability. When she was abandoned
the stoke-holc and engine-room were filed
with water, there was fourteen feet OF
water in compartment No. 8, twelve feet In
No. Q. and two boilers had broken away
and were battering against the vessels
side. But for the timely arrival OF the Ne
brnska the crew would have gone 10 the
bottom during Tuesday night. From Sat-
urday noon until the time Of the rescue no
man on the vessel obtained over three
hours sleep, and Captain Bennett slept but
one hour. Several OF the men were frost
hitten, but aside from this none were in
jured and no lives were lost.
cit was the third and last call for her,
and she had to co." said one Of the crew.
"she was an unlucky vessel. Three or
four trips ago, when 900 miles out from
Halifax, she nearly ioundered, and had to
put back for repairs. On her last trip out
ward she came in collision with German
vessel in the channel, split hole In her
side eighteen feet long, and had to put
into Plymouth for repairs. All this bad
luck was due to the fact that she had -
black cat on board. That's enough to sink
any ship"
The lost vessel was valued at about
$500, 900, and was partially insured. The
cargo was valued at about S150,000, and
was also partially insured. Among those
to whom the freight was consigned were
Matthiessen & Wiechers, OF No. LOG Wall
street; Colgate d Co., Of No. 2S7 Pearl
street, and the Atlantic White Lead Works.
There were forty b,ooded cows. valued at
5000 each, on the Noting Hill. Eight
stowaways were among those rescued. The
crew applied ut the British consulate for
aid yesterday. The majority will be pro-
vided with berths on English vessels and
the remainder will be sent to their homes.

A Mysterious New YorklCity Tragedy

(By telegraph 10 the Dispatch.I
NEW YORK, February b2.-VictOr Croft
ton Andree was standing on the platform
OF the Elevated railway at Fifty-ninth
street and Third avenue this morning, ac-
companied by seven-year-old boy. wait
ing to take the train down town, when a
woman stepped up behind him and shot
him i'm the back, and as he fell, thinking
she bad killed him, she put the pistol to
her own temple and blew out her own
brains. The station was crowded with
people, and intense excitement was Gre
ated. The dead woman, wounded man,
and little boy were taken to the station
house. The mans wound was probed,
and ne was found TO be probably fatally
hurt.
Andree described himself as journalist
connected with German newspapers, and
teacher in the educational establishment
of j. G.. Won Taube, at No. 10 Gramercy
Park. He admitted that he knew the
woman who shot HIM, but refused TO give
any explanation OF her act. The boy who
was with him when shot was George
Beckel, son Of Joseph j. Beckel, In whose
house the wounded man lived.
The woman was about twenty-five years
old, with handsome, regular features, fair
complexion, dark brown hair, and hazel
eyes. Nothing was found on her person
which would lead to her Identification eX-
cept white silk handkerchief having the
letter ct" worked on it.
Andree has been In this country about
six months. He acted as correspondent Of
the Boersen Courier, OF Berlin, financial
paper, OF which his father Is owner. An
dree was taking the boy down to school
when he was shot. Nothing is known
concerning his relations with the woman.
The police have discovered that the Young
woman who shot Andree was Miss Jennie
ii. Almey, aged twenty-four, who taught
in Kindergarten school. She lived at
Ill west Twenty-ffth street, where she
had hired q room for some time. large
package OF letters was found in Andree's
room, which she had written TO him.
From these 1t appeared that he had prom
ised to marry her, and afterwards deserted
her from some cause, but wneIher ne
had betrayed her or not could not be
ascertained from the correspondence. The
police think that desertion alone would not
have sufiiced TO induce her to commit the
crime. II was evident that Andree knew
that she was waiting TO see him, and that
he dreaded the meeting. For this reason
he reported at the school where be taught
that he was sick and had remained In his
room during the whole Of the past week.
This morning he yentured out for the first
time. Ii was said at Miss Almey's board
ing-house that she went away every morn
ing early and did not return until night.
and II Is supposed that she spent the day
watching Andree's house.
