STEAMSHIP ASHORE.


Loss of the Allan Line Steamship Hanoi
verian at Portugal Cove-The Passengers
All Saved. But the Vessel q Total Wreck
The Disaster Due to an Impenetrable
Fog.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., September 3.-The
steamship Hanoverian went ashore in
Portugal Cove, fourteen miles north by
west of Cape Race, and is probably a
total loss. The Hanoverian left Halifax
at noon on Monday with fifty-seven pas
sengers and her normal crew. She ex-
perienced fine weather until nearing St.
Pierre Island, when an impenetrable
fog was encountered, and by false
steering, error of the compass
or neglect of sounding, the
steamer was driven at high
speed into Portugal Cove, seven miles
east of Trepassy Bay, where she now
number of hidden rocks, which ripped
her bottom almost the entire length.
The main hold filed with water, and it is
not probable that her cargo can be saved.
The passengers are supposed to be
now en- route to IrepaSSy,
where they can receive accom-
mediation and comfort until the
war ship Tenedos reaches them to con-
vey them to St. Johns. Other steamers
follow to render assistance.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
ST. JOHN, N. F., September 3.-The
Hanoverian left Halifax under most
CHEEKY auspices. The first twenty-four
hours were passed pleasantly, but Tues
day night when nearing st. Peters bank,
a dense fog set in. About three O'Clock
on Wednesday morning the steamer was
passing between Cape st. Mary's and
Cape Pine headlands in the neighborhood
of which SO many disastrous marine
disasters have occurred. The fog
shrouded the lights or else gave only
fitful glimpses, scarcely enough for iden-
tifcation.
AS a rule the Allan steamship COM
manders give these headlands a very
wide and safe berth. On the present &C.
casion the theory holds that the officer in
charge mistook Cape Pine for Cape Race
light, and went ahead on a wrong course.
1t is also highly probable that the lead
was not thrown for several hours, as the
Hanoverian must have passed over sew
eral miles of shoal-fshing ground before
reaching her grave in Portugal Cove.
Fortunately the water was not bolster
Gus, otherwise nota soul could have been
saved.
The passengers aud crew were all safe
" landed AMI conveyed overland to Ire
passey, whence they will be conveyed to
st. Johns by Her Majesty's steamer
Tenedos, the steam tug Favorite and the
whaling steamer Nimrod. The ship now
lies deep in the sand-bar inside the reefs,
with her hold filed with water and with
her starboard side almost level with the
waters edge.
Last evening the agent of the New
York Red Cross line telegraphed to Cape
Race to intercept the Miranda that left
here Yesterday morning and instruct her
to 60 to Portugal Cove to the relief of
the shipwrecked sufferers.

Mrs. Grant Pays Visit to the Tomb Of
the General and Places On the Tomb q
Wreath of Immortelles and Laurel-Re-
spectfui Visitors.
NEW YORK, September 4.-The line Of
visitors to General Grants tomb was
interrupted at noon yesterday by the
arrival of close carriage, drawn by
team of black horses. The carriage
young man followed by an elderly
lady alighted. They were not recog-
nized at first. Captain Fessenden,
of Camp Grant was near the
entrance and he recognized U. S. Grant,
Jr. The elderly lady was Mrs. Grant.
Both Mrs. Grant and son were In deep
mourning. Mrs. Grants long veil COW
cred her face. Captain Fessenden ordered
Private Eustace, on guard, to request the
visitors to fall back. 1t was whispered
through the crowd that Mrs Grant had
come to visit General Grants tomb,
and they stepped backwards until q
large semi-circle was formed. All the
men took off their hats. Then Captain
Fessenden and Mr.. Grant had half q
minutes conversation, and Captain Fes-
sender Immediately unlocked the doors
Of the tomb and threw them open. Mrs.
Grant leaning on her sons arm walked
silently through the DOORWAY, and de-
seconded the steps to the floor of the
tomb. Pausing an instant at the
side of the steel casket, Mrs.
Grant drew from under her long
outer-wrapping large wreath of
white immortelles. 1t rested on larger
wreath of laurel as base. These Mrs.
Grant laid on the middle of the ca sket in
a space cleared of other offerings by her
son. For a moment Mrs. Grant stood
motionless before the casket. Then,
taking Mr.. Grants arm, she went back
slowly to her carriage. The wreath is in
plain sight from the outside of the tomb.

THE WALKUP CASE.

The Interest Renewed by the Published
Statement of DIR. SCOTT, of Kansas City
A Guardian Appointed for AIrs. walkun

Physician Has to Say.
EMpoRIA, KAs., September 5.-Re.
newed excitement is again shown in the
Walkup case by the statement published
yesterday morning of DR.. c. w. Scott, OF
Kansas City, who says that Mr.. Walkul
called on him last December and said he
had been taking arsenic in connection
with opium, both in a solution and pills,
for a long time for a remedy for 3 chronic
disease, 1t was looked upon as almost
conclusive evidence of Mrs. Walkup's
innocence by her friends and all fair.
minded people. Even her enemies and
those who are prejudiced against her
find this the hardest evidence SO far
given to do away with. As the private
life of the late Mr.. Walkup becomes more
clearly understood it reveals only too
plainly that the theory of his being his
own destroyer is very plausible, and
sentiment is daily growing which is
much more favorable to the beau
tiful Southern girl who Is accused
OF his murder. Mrs. w. being under
age appeared before Probate
Judge Harrington to-day and asked that
q guardian be appointed 10 look aIIer ner
interests in the Walkup estate. The
Judge appointed the Hon. VIM. Jay as
her guardian and administrator. Mr..
JAY is one of the most wealthy, promi-
nent and influential of our citizens, and
his appointment is considered very for
tunate one for Mrs. Walkup, as he has
expressed firm belief in her innocence
and will leave nothing undone to prove
it and restore her freedom. Several
persons who have figured prominently in
the case were seen to-day by your cor
respondent. Dwight Hill, Mr.. Walkup's
business partner, would not express any
opinion in regard to DIR. Scott's state
ment. DR.. Filkins, Mr.. Walkup's
ply stefan for several years, said he was
not surprised at the story. He said 1t
was characteristic of Mr.. Walkup. Mr..
Walkup was liable to, have been his own
physician n, to have taken non-profession-
al advice or to have used any nostrum or
cure recommended to him.
Judge Houston and Attorney w. Scott
advance no new idea in the matter, though
they appear to have heard something,
something by the way that doesn't seem
to be very unpleasant. Through all these
scenes of light and darkness, hope and
fear, Mrs. Walkup still maintains that
phenomenal GOODNESS and self -possession
which has marked her whole course dur
ing the past two weeks, never apparently
disturbed at anything, always courteous,
ladylike and affable.
