LIMA, o., June s.-Harry Parker,
catcher of the Toledo Tri-State league

fatal injury this afternoon in a game

men were running at full speed when
they came together. Both were thrown
down and rendered inSenSible. Parker'S
left eye is nearly cut out, and he is
thought to be injured internally. He
lies tonight in a comatose condition.
O'Rouke was not seriously injured.

Wheat has gone up cent a day for
the past ten days, and the general opin-
ion is that the price will go higher than
for several years past. The cause as
signed is the nearly total failure of the
crop in Great Britain and in France,
Germany and Italy. The shortage viii
have to be made up from Russia and
the United States, and 1t seems proba-
bic that wheat viii command high
price before the next crop comes in.

Tuesday by the steamship Thingvalla, of

had gone down, leaving scores of
people struggling in the water.
Many of these were picked up, but when

SAN FRANCIS, Aug. 23.--Thc steamer
Oceanic just inside the Golden Gate and
sunk. The Oty of Chester started at 10
O'Clock IL. IN. for Eureka. There was a
fog and Capt. Wallace blew his whistle
continuously. When off Port Point he
heard another whistle and sigEalled for
the unknown vessel to go to port but this
was evidently misunderstood for in u
nj he Oceanic doomed up out of
TIL. fog and her bow crashed into the
Chestcr's side uinidship, cutting her
nearly in two. Some of the Chester's
passengers climbed OH the Occanic's bow
before the vessels parted but many were
obliged to jump into the water. The
bouts of the Oceanic We're at once low
cred and picked up as many us possible
and some tugs also came to the rescue.
Tho Chester sank within five minutes
and many wen down with her and were
drowned. a terrible panic rcigned on
board during this brief period. Thu
greatest loss of life is believed to have
occurred among the Storage passengers,
OF whom there were twenty
three on board only two Of these
were accounted for late in the after
noon. The others are regarded as lost.
There were seventy cabin passengers, of
whom ten are lost. Three of the crew
are also lost. None of the survivors
were landed until after j p. m., and at Il
late hour the exact number of casualties
was still uncertain. Capt. Wallace states
that he Judged that the Oceanic was on
the port side and took steps accordingly.
He does not see how the collision could
have been avoided. Capt. Metcalfc, of
the Oceanic, says he saw the Chester on
the starboard side and gave two blasts,
which was responded to, but the Chester
ported into the starboarding and the col
lision occurred. The Chester was going
at high speed and the Oceanic slowly.
The Chester was valued at $3.50, 600.
f.. ON the best information late at
night it is believed that only the thirteen
persons named above were lost.
