STRUCK BY AN ICEBERG.
Startling Experience of the Passengers and
Crew of the Steamer City of Berlin.

New YORK, May 23-The steamship City OF
Berlin, on the 10Th inst. at 1886 A. NJ, latitude
43 degrees, 80 minutes longitude 40 degrees, 80
minutes, struck an iceberg, stem on, in dense
fog. The engines were going very slowly ar the
time. Her bowsprit and head-work were carried
away, but no damage was done below the main
deck line At 4:15 she proceeded quite slowly.
At 6:24 A NJ. she passed another iceberg, and
still another at 800 The City of Berlin brings
LAB cabin and l,139 steerage passengers.
Mr.. James O'Rourke, one Of the cabin passen-
gers on the steamer City Of Berlin, makes the
following report: ''The City of Berlin sailed
from Liverpool for New York on May IL All
went well, the weather being very fine and the
sea smooth until approaching the banks
of Newfoundland, when a thick
fog set in at P. H. on Monday,
the 18th inst, which continued until 10 p NJ Of
the goth. when it cleared off. The ship was run
at about half speed during the fog, and the
steam whistle was kept blowing at intervals of
about Eve minutes On Tuesday morning at
about 1926 the ship came in collision with an
immense iceberg, which carried away the jib-
boom, bowsprt, fgure-head and all gear at
tached, and stove in the bow, breaking the iron
plates, deck-rlanking, iron railing, etc. Many
tons of ice fell upon the fore castle deck, break
through and going down into the hold The two
men on the lookout hada very narrow escape
with their lives, the fog being so thick at the
time that they could not see the iceberg until it
came tumbling the forward deck where
they were standing, which caused them to run
for their lives At the time of the
shock Chief Officer Tarleton and Second Officer
Barker were on duty on the bridge, and with
great promp.ness Mr. Barker rushed to the bow
of the ship, to ascertain whether the ship was
cut through below the water line at the same
time giving orders to cut away the lashings Of
the lferafts and boats and to prepare them for
lowering in case the ship should sink Two Of
the boats were swung out board and the others
were being put in readiness when it was discov-
cred that the ship was not making water and
the orders were countermanded. The conster-
nation on board at the time among the passen-
gers can better be imagined than described, as
they were sleeping in their berths. They ran

Assignment of Amos woodruff.

MEMPHIS Tenn. May 23--Amos Woodruff.
president of the Woodruff Oliver Carriage and
Hardware Company, and president of the Wood
ruff Lumber Company, made an individual as
signment this morning His liabilities are
about 5000, goo; assets, nominally about 1926 000
consisting principally of stock in the corpora
tons of which he was president w. S. Clapp is
named as assignee.
The news Of Mr.. Woodrufss assignment was
received with genuine surprise, as he was con-
sidered one of the most substantial among the
business men of Memphis. The corporations Of
which he was president were generally believed
to be prospecting. He was the principal stock
holder of the Woodruff Lumber Company, and
owned $685. 900 worth of shares of the Woodruff
Oliver Carriage and Hardware Company, which
has capital stock of $4,000 Among the
creditors mentioned in the assignment is the
Metropolitan National Bank of New York, but
the amount Of hrs indebtedness to them is not
stated. The cause of his failure is said to be
due to desire on the part of those who held his
stock as collateral in the corporations which he
controlled to realize the advances that had been
made Mr.. Woodruff also, during the past six
months, is said to have paid 5000 security
debts for which he had Endorsed for relatives
and friends. No other houses in this city will
be affected by the failure
