A STEAMSHIP RUNS AMUCK.
The Castle Craig Refuses to Obey Her Rud-
der and Smashes Vessels Right and Left.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 6-When the British
steamer Castle Craig swung out from her wharf
to-day. on trip to Liverpool the pilot discov-
cred that she would not obey her rudder and
gave orders to reverse the engine. The vessel
was under full Roadway, however. and before
the order could be obeyed she ran into the Brit
ish ship Erin's Gem, lying at another wharf,
tearing away planks, straining her joints and
causing the seams of the deck to open. Steering
off from the Erin's Gem. the Castle Craig struck
the British ship Equator, smashing her bow
spirit, knocking hole in her side and crushing
the port and starboard sido5. The Equator
parted her lines and the Castle Craig ran between
her and the wharf, doing considerable other
damage and finally getting into clear water
The officers thought the damage was
over but the next instant she crashed into
the British ship Asiana, leaving her total
wreck. Steering off again, she encountered the
Equator for second time, demolshing timbers
right and left The Asiana got another severe
shaking up, and the Castle Craig turned her at
tention to the Norwegian bark Ophir stavire
in her bulwarks. She then steamed out into the
river and was anchored. There was intense ex
element during the accidents, but the vessels
being at wharves, no lives were lost The total
damage will foot up to about $50, 900, divided as
follows: Erin's Gem, $1,000: Equator So, 900;
Asiana, $25, 900; Ophir. So 900, and the wharf,
ST., 600. The damage to the Castle Craig is not
known. All the injured vessels will be unloaded
and run into docks for repairs.

Distress at BeiIevilIe, Ont.

BELLEvILLE Ont, Jan. 6--The disastrous
food here has not abated. An immense volume
of water continues pouring in from the neighbor-
ing rivers and has damaged property in the city
until the loss is now estimated at million dol
lars. What was on Monday one of the most en-
terprising and prosperous cities in the Dominion
is. to a large extent laid waste by flood Many
beautiful buildings are damaged beyond
repair. There were many instances
of intense suffering throughout the long and
tedious hours last night The thermometer in
dictated 33k degrees below In the city the
wood yards were flooded, and could not be en-
tered. This caused great suffering, as the poor
people of the city consume soft wood altogether
and rely upon these wood-yaras for their supply
Factories have had to close and workmen were
discharged, and these are now dependent upon
public charity. Large and valuable buildings on
tho principal streets have been undermined, and
the occupants have had TO move out for fear the
buildings would collapse. The only hope of re-
lief is milder weather.

Herr Won Schultz, the Prussian Minister of
Finance replying to Herr Wolff. Conservative,
stated that the government had abandoned its
reform measures having for their object direct
taxation, owing to the opposition of majority of
the members of the Landtag. He added that, in
consequence of this opposition, the government

THE CHAMBERS CASE.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLooMINGToN, Ind, Feb. 6.-The last scene
in the Monon express robbery has been enacted.
AT o'clock yesterday evening the Judges
charge was ended and Chamberss fate
The ringing of the courthouse bell at
$50 this morning told that result had been
reached In short time the streets were filled
with people hurrying to the courtroom, and
it was not long until the room was
crowded. When Chambers entered he
was pale and nervous. He took his usual seat
within the bar As the foreman of the jury
handed the verdict to the clerk. the silence was
oppressive. The verdict was as follows:
1--WE. the jury, find the defendant guilty as
charged in the indictment. and assess his pun
ishment at imprisonment in the States prison
for two years and a fine of $780,"
TWAS surprise to the attorneys Of the de
Tense and to the prisoner. His head dropped
and tears began to fill his eyes,
''Have you anything to say why sentence
should not be passed upon you9" said the judge.
Nothing" muttered the prisoner.
Here his attorneys made several motions, and
asked that they be given till o'clock to prepare
exceptions. which was granted, and Chambers
was allowed to go on his bond.
At o'clock the room was again crowded. but
there was no disturbance of any kind.
j.. w. Buskirk and John r. East
pleaded long and eloqusntly for their
client but as Judge Bicknell overruled
them at every point, it was apparent that new
trial would not be granted. When the record
was made up, the court looked toward the
nervous prisoner. The noise ceased, and the
judge said: "As an officer of the court, it
now becomes my sad duty, in obedience
to the decision of the jury, to pronounce the
800 and two years in the States prison"
The court then commanded the sheriff
to take the prisoner into custody, and
he was taken to Jail. In conversation with the
Journal correspondent he said: ut is hard,
very hard, but, thank God, there is one consola-
toni am innocent"
The case will most likely be taken to the Su-
preme Court Chambers will be taken to the
State Prison South on Monday morning.

also been to deprive the 7onrshoremen
OF great deai of work on which they formerly
depended. Lord Salisbury made q sympathetic
reply. which was skilfully calculated to
strengthen the demand of the unemployed work
ingmen for governmental assistance. He told
the men he considered the question they pre-
scented more serious than the Irish question.
He. however, denounced the policy in vogue
among foreign governments OF fostering in
dustries by the granting of bou-,,ies Irurs the
economy. He expressed the hope that the
electors Of Great Britain would give Parliament
the power to influence foreign governments to
abandon such policy. Concerning the land ques-
ton, Lord Salisbury said tue pro. to help
the poor by furnishing land to reclaim .ni-
would invest capital in the work Of
retaining bad lands so long as the
good lands of tho country do not pay In con-
ciuson, the exPremier declared that statesmen
and Parliament must confront the question of
how best to solve the problem of relieving the
present general Distress which was growing
while the population was increasing. and caused
immigration. Governmental support of private
enterprises might be good way to afford
Temporary relief and the promotion of public
works might be another. He would do his ut
most to contribute to a satisfactory solution of
the problem.
In their desperation the workingmen are
listening greedily to the revolutionary plans
which are always seethne among the
refugee agitators who swarm in London. I'm
portant conferences pending between the
Democratic Socialists and the Amalgamated
Society of Engineers, which includes in its mem
bership many thousand skilled and intelligent
mechanics. The latest report Of the society in
tensifies the bitter feeling among the members.
Over 1000 skilled engineers and fremen
without employment, and are being relieved by
the society at the rate of 81 pence per week.
But this has been going on SO long that f3S, 900
has been disbursed. and the reserve fund is en-
tirely depleted. The skilled cabinet makers are
in even worse plight They giving relief
at the rate of 10 pence per week to thousands of
unemployed members, but they have no reserve
fund.- and the payments for relief come directly
out Of the, pockets of those who are fortunate
enough to have work.

About week ago as young man from
Georgia was coming TO this city over the
Santa Fe hewas approached on the other side
of Newton by fine looking man nicely
dressed. oily tongued and soon the two be-
came very familiar and friendly The fine
looking party had most generously offered
his new made acquaintance a position in a
large and extensive dry goods store in Wich-
ita, of which he was the sole and only pro-
prietor, and as there was large salary an
nexed to the offer it was quickly accepted
However. when his bargain was closed it
suddenly came to the mind of the merchant
that at Newton it would be necessary for him
TO pay the express charges upon lot Of
goods he was having sent through from the
east. As he had not "a bit of change would
the young man be kind enough to break a
fifty dollar bin. The young man was sorry
that he could not accommodate his new
friend. He could. however. loan him the
amount about $50 until he reached Wichita
The loan was accepted: the two got off the
train to take dinner at Newton and returned
to their seats again, but just as the train
was pulling out from the depot the merchant
ran to the rear platform to speak to friend.
That was all that was seen of the merchaut(9 .
until yesterday, when the young man thought
he saw him on the street, and approaching
demanded the payment of the loan The
look of innocence and surprise that over
