An AMEUL DISASTER.
The Greet Steamers Oceanfca and City uf aChes-

ter Collide in the Pacific ocean.
| One of the most terrible marine dig
;asters that ever occurred on the Paeif-
lie coast happened in the Bay of San Fran
cisco. "a short distance from Golden Gate,
son the 22nd. The steamer of Chester
left her dock at San Francisco AT $50,
and started on her regular trip to Eu-
| reka, on the northern coast of California
An unusually large number of passengers
stood ON her decks and waved adieu to
| friends who had gathered on the wharf The
Chester steamed slowly down the bay, and
when within two miles of the Heads encoun-
tered thick fog SO peculiar in that locality
capt: Wallace, of the City of Chester, began
blowing his steamers whistle ITO warn all
vessels of his approach. The
| chester proceeded cautiously in her course,
faH Oh Fort Saint, when the hoarse sound of
another whistle foated across the water
Capt. Wallace answered the signal and gave
the proper warning Ito the stranger to pass
on the port side. This was evidently not
understood, for in q moment those on board
saw the huge PROV of the Occidental &
ORIENTAL steamer Oeeanica emerge from the
| fog. The Oeeanica had just arrived from
Hong Kong and Yokohama, and was moving
i up the bay to her dock. The huge steamer
was so close to the Chester that there was no
| possibility for the latter t eseane. The

and the captain, seeing the danger called to

sued at once, particularly among the women
and children, of whom there was a large
number. The 0eeaniea struck the Chester
on the port side at the gangway, and the
shock was terrific
At the moment of the shock most of the
officers and crew of the Chester seemed to
| loose possession of their senses and several
passengers stated afterwards that some of
the crew took the first opportunity to climb
aboard the Oceanica and left the passengers
to cut away the boats. One of these was
lowered as soon as possible and number of
the passengers taken off in it. Others pro-
V1ded themselves with life preservers
and jumped overheard. The greater por-
lions, however, were compelled to remain on
the steamer, which began to settle immedi-
ately after the collision. Torrents of water
rushed into her hold and in five minutes after
the collision the Chester disappeared and
sank in fifty fathoms of water. Those of the
passengers and crew who came to the surface
were picked up by the Oceanica's boats.
The greater number were drawn down by the
rushing water and never appeared again
Ihe cabin passengers numbered seven
ty, and of these ten are also lost The
names of the cabin passengers lost are as
follows: D. W. Anderson Oakland. Cal:
Mrs. s. q. Prater, San Diego; Mrs C. Il.

SUDDEN sToppAcE OF A rox.uuNT

A dozen people rode into Mt Vernon ycstcr
day morning rom the direction OF Pelhamvllle, pre-
coded by a red fox IN box. The fox started,
and tho hounds released and away dashed the caval
cade in full chase. Merrily they pushed on to tho
first four-foot fence. over It went tho whip and
leading horseman, while all the following horses
absolutely refused the leap and their riders looked
INTO one another's faces in blank amazcment. The
fox headed east and was soon safe from capture.
