sUNK IN THE NORTH RIVER.

The Steamer Atlas Sent tO the Bottom
 By q FerrybOaG.-NO Lives Lest.-
 Statement By the Steamers Captain.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The Atlas Line steamer Atlas from Hayti, II 900 punches of bananas, 100 tons of loRWo cd, was run into at 4:15 p. m., and sunk in the North river, opposite Barclay street, by the New Jersey Central railroads ferryboat Plainfeld. A panic occurred among the Plainfeld's passen- gers, but the boat reached the pier in dam aged condition, and no lives were lost 4 fog prevailed at the time of the collision. The Atlas sank slowly, giving time for her captain and crew of 30 men to be taken off by several tugs that came up. Passengers on the ferry boat say they heard no whistles blown by either boat. The steamer had the right of way as she was in the middle of the stream and going up against heavy ebb tide. The ferryboat evidently did not have time to slack up after getting near enough the steam CT to see her through the fog. The passen- gers think she was proceeding too rscklsssly considering the fog, but no statement has been made by her officers.

 raised and repaired. The Atlas was an iron screw, schooner rigged steamer of 1,997 tons.
 She was two hundred and feet long and was built at Dumbartou, Scotland, in 1873. Cap ] tain Tobin of the Atlas says he was on the l bridge and Pilot George Simpson was at the 1 wheel when they saw the Plsinfeld leave her pier. The pilot blew two whistles for the | ferryboat to pass astern. The Plaindeld an- | swered with two whistles showing that shs understood. She also shut off steam, but 8 moment later started up again. She came directly for the Atlas. The pilot of the At las again blew two whistles, but got no re- sponse and in a moment the collision occur red. Captain E. F, Curtis was in command of the Plainfeld. He has been licensed
 pilot since 1874. He was assisted by Thos. Nelson, who has been pilot for eight years. He declined to make statement until he presents his report to the pilot commissioners tomorrow.
 The Morgan line steamer Fl Dorado ran in
 to car float at 5:45 p. m. near the spot l where the Atlas was sunk. Five cars were knocked off the float and drifted away. The float was able to reach her pier and the steamer was net much damaged.

 CIsveland's Financial ORcer skips OR
 for the Canada Colony Of DefauIsers.
 CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 23.-The greatest ex' citement prevails in this city this morning in financial and business circles over the report ed dedication of City Treasurer Thomas Ak worthy.
 MT. AxworthY started for New York on September 28, but no particular attention was paid to his absence from the fact that he was the principal financial officer of the city. In the course of business he had made occas- ional trips to the East, presumably in the in- terest of themunieipality. His prolonged ab- sence at last created suspicion and an inquiry was set on foot to discover his whereabouts If possible. It was soon learned that Mir. AK worthy's stay in New York was very brief, ss it was discovered that he left for Montreal on September 29, the day after his arrival in the metropolis. His flight to Canada suggested an examination of his books, which developed the fact that there was @ shortage in the city funds of nearly $4O0, 1000.
 The exact amount shown, so far as the ins vestigatioD has proceeded, is $383, 900, and it is thought when the matter has been probed to the bottom that the dedication will far exceed that amount. MT. Axworthy was well connected socially and his many fr1enos among the best people of Cleveland have been greatly shocked at the disclosures. The authorities are so greatly excited over the ex- posture of Axworthy's stupendous peeulations that they have not yet decided how to pro- ceed, though 8 portion of the money stolen may be made good by the dsfaulting treas urer's bondsmen.
 It is now learned that Axworthy has fled to Europe. A cablegram known to have been from him was received by one of his married daughters here on Saturday last dated Liver pool which read: "Papa is in Canada; tell not to worry" A full investigation of the city treasurer's accounts has been made which shows that there should be to the credit of the city department $876, ,687, to offset which there is in the banks here $447,- a5O, making the deficit $429, ,437. It is ru- mored this afternoon that just before leaving New York Axworthy drew $200, 900 from the Exchange in New York, which is the eastern depository of the city funds and bonds.
 A late dispatch reports that Axworthy's vessel property and real estate will probably inventory nearly half million, and the oondsmen are secured. The city will proba- ply lose nothing, as the bonds are good.

OCEAN LINERS MAY RACE.
Four of she Great Atlantic Giants to
 Start T0-MOrrOw.

Four of she Great Atlantic Giants to
 start T0-Morr0vy.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The present week will be notable in steamship annals by the fact that tomorrow morning four giant ocean steamships will start on 3,000-mile trip at about the same moment. Naturally there will be somewhat of a race between the four for first honors, and the interest manifested as to the outcome will make the contest 8 very exciting one.
 The ships are the City of New York, the Britanic, the Trave and the Gallia.
 The excellent showing made by the first named steamphip during her last westward trip puts her ahead of the other ships in pub lio esteem. Still, the great question with seafaring men is, "Can the City of New York continue to make even such ordinary pas sages as her last2".-
 The trip that begin tomorrow will do g great deal toward proving the worth of the new steamship.
 Probably the only ship that can in any way compete with the City of New York is the Trave of the Norddeutsehe Lloyd line. She is the second largest of the German fleet having 6 tonnage of 5,381 tons. The Trave has 200 more miles to travel than any of the other ships, she travelling to Southampton, while the others only go to Queenstown. They have also a half hours start of her, leaving at 7:30

Married and Didn't Know 1t.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-Apollo
Vivian, romantic Cuban, finds to
his everlasting astonishment that
he is married to pretty Susan
Henry.
Last summer they frequented a
bath house and one day while they
were in their bathing suits and he
was sitting with his feet dangling
in the water, he jokingly asked the
proprietress of the bathing estab-
lishment to marry him to Susan,
whereupon Mrs. Overpack told
them to join hands and then said:
"Do you take this woman to be
your lawful welded wife?" 81
do" "And do you take this man
to be your lawful welded husband?'
"I do" "Then you are man and
wife"
Recently Susan was advised that
under the laws of this State the
marriage was binding, and she had
Apollo brought Up before Judge
Morgan, who held that the mar
rage was valid and ordered the
Cuban to pay his wife So a week
and not to forget it.

Arkansas, two of the strongest Re-

require several weeks to hear from
Illinois, lying, as it does, west OF
the Rocky mountains, but Nevada,
New Jersey, and other of the So

give the administration their sup

Republican candidate for the Pres

parently, he has taken but little

SEVERAL persons have inquired
at this Office as to which has a
majority in the popular vote of the
country, Cleveland or Harrison.
This is question which it is i'm
possible to answer now. The
exact figures are at hand for less
than a dozen States, and on the
face ofthese returns, supplemented
by approximately exact estimates
for the other States, Cleveland has
plurality of about $4,000 votes.
The complete returns may increase
this considerably. They are not
likely to give the plurality to Har-
risen.
