Wreck of the Ctty of Columbus.

III" steamer City Of Columbus,
Captain Wright, of the Boston and
Savannah Liue, left Boston on Thurs
day afternoon with 1O2 passengers,
including 35 ladies and children, and
also Il crew of As. Her course lay
around the rocky coast of New Eng
land. When in Vineyard Sound, off
Gay Head, IA %promontory of Matthias
Vineyard Island, at 4 O'Clock on Fri
day morning she struck an isolated
rock, The engines were reversed
and she backed twice her length, but
then listed 70 port, filled, and soon
sank enough for the sea to break
over the deck. The stern was en-
tirely under water. The passengers
had been reused and provided with
life-preServerS. Futile attempts were
made to launch the boats, but all
were capSized by the rough seas.
All The passengers, except some wO-
men and children who We're drowned
in the saloon, got on the roofs Of Tie
deck houses, and then into the rig
ging. The wind blew a gale, tie
weather was piercing cold, and they
were gradually frozen to death or
fell, being washed overheard. When
daylight came less than SO were in
the rigging. Seven then left on a life
raft. After daylight people ashore
saw the wreck, and a lifeboat from
Gay Head Station came out at about
10 o'clock and rescued seven persons.
Another li(eboat came later, and
the United States revenue steamer
Dexter, which was cruising in the
neighbourlood, sighted .he wreck at
about noon The sea running high,
the steamer approached within 300
yards, and then sent II boat. which
rescued one man. A second boat,
with the help Of a lifeboa', afterwards
transferred others. The sea was so
rough that it was impossible 10 row
to the rigging Of the wreck, as the
boats would have been s%wamped, so
the survivors in the rigging had to
jump Into the sea, and were caught
as they came to the surface and pull,
ed into the boats. AS those who could
not swim jumped from the rigging,
officers or sailors jumped after them,
and in this way most of them were
saved. CaptainW Wright was The last
to leave the rigging. Nearly all who
survived in the rigging were thus
saved, the Dexter taking off Fl. -Four
of this number afterwards died. The
survivors were taken to New Bedford
Massachusetts. Only 20 lives alto
gerber we're saved from the wreck,
81 being lost.

The City of Columbus was a staunch
iron steamer of 5000 tons. Her pas
sengers were chiefly New Englan-
ders going south for the winter. She
was ont of her course when she struck.
The vessel is a Iota! loss, lying 1000
yards north Of Gay Hal. The cap
tain was below until just before the
disaster, when the mates loud call to
port the helm brought him suddenly
on deck. He telegraphed last night 10
the Boston agents reporting the dis
aster; to-day it is stated that he las
become violently insane. Most #
the survivors are il a terrible c0ndi-
ton, frost-bitten and some so dazcd
that they can hardly realize The situa-
lion.
One survivor says the pilot tod
him, while both were in the rigging,
that lie had fycd the curse of The
ship and then fastened The wheel, Be
ing very cold he wrnl to Tie smoke
tack to warn himself, and = aimed
there 20 minutes. On returning be
found the ship out If her COURSE and
among the rocks. He then for safety
ran her a shore.
The American newspapers to-day
ire filled with heartrendIng tales 1T
survivors of the wreck of the City of
Columbus. All the Journals attribute
the disaster to gross careIeSSntss, and
an investigation is demanded. Tugs
are patroIIing in the vicinity of The
wreck, although the weather is hois-
ferrous, endenvouring +" recover bodies
Sixteen corpses have already been re-
covered. The survivors are mostly
members of the crew, All tie women
and children were drowned, without q
chance even Of climbing the rigging,
and nearly every passenger was lost.
Later reports f'om he captain deny
his insanity, though he was greatly
excited. He says the second maze
had charge of the ship and must have
altered the course, 1t is evident to
all nautical men that a proper look
ont was not maintained.

Nearly two years ago farm hand

tant precincts of Germany. The muir
derer, in order to escape the wrath of
justice, fled to America. Last Septem-

Baptist Deuster, farmer living near
Hawley, Pa, but the realization that
he was murderer and the fear of
being captured and sent back to the
scene of his crime so preyed upon his
mind that his actions were the com

to ascertain from him the cause of his
singular actions were unsuccessful, the

day Mr.. Deustcr sent the young man
TO neighboring house on an errand.
The hired man knocked on the door of
the house, and it was opened by lady.
The man stepped inside The lady
threw up her hands, and staggering
back into a chair, exclaimed in Ger

the shepherd" The man turned pale,
but quickly gaining his composure, in

departed. The next morning his body
was found hanging to beam in his
room. The neighbors wife called soon
afterward and told the story. She was
