TWENTY LIVES LOST.
An Awful Crash in a Fog on the
 Banks.

The North German Lloyd steamship Fulda which arrived from Bremen, ran down an un- known fishing schooner on the Banks of New foundland Saturday morning. A dense fog prevailed at the time, and the schooner disap- peared astern almost immediately after the collision. Boats put out in search of her, but as she was not found it is feared that she was lost, with all hands.
 As soon as possible the Fulda put about and boa 8 were cleared away and lowered into the water. For nearly an hour the boats groped about in the fog. The passengers, many of whom had been mortified witnesses of the dis aster, watched hopefully for the rescue of the fishermen, but no traces of the schooner nor of the 20 men belonging to her were found. At length the boats returned to the steamer, which slowly proceeded on her course.
 The lost vessel was probably French fisher man. A few of the passengers expressed the hope that some of the fishermen might have been saved by other vessels, but the officers of the Fu!da did not seem to believe that any of H>a n a had been rescued.

COUNTERFEIT NOTES.
Two Bad Silver Certificates Make
 Their Appearance.

The chief uf the Secret Service, Treasury De- partment, has issued circular describing two new counterfeit silver certificates that have recently made their appearance in the East. The first note is $5 certificate of Department series 1886, letter b. It has the appearance of Autograph, and the engraving is very coarse and scratchy. The face of General Grant is almost devoid of expression and has a small lump at the end of the nose on the right side of the face tinstead of wrinkle as appears in the genuine note: The words. s'This certificate is receivable for customs, taxes and all public dues," printed near the top in the border of the back, are scarcely discernible and hard to decipher, while on the genuine note they are clearly cut and easily read. The back of the note has blurred appearance and should be easily detected. There are no parallel silk threads in the note.
 The second note is $1 silver certificate of Department series 1886, letter D. Its general appearance is very good, but the vignette of Martha Washington is very coarse and scratchy. The words, 'United States" have the appear ance of being produced by wood cut and the shading is very course. The back of the note, at first glance, looks remarkably we'll, but upon inspection numerous defects in the lathe work can be discovered. There are no parallel silk threads in the note and the seal is very pale.

Fourteen Lumbermen Drowned.

voyager arrived at Three Rivers, Que., brings tidings of dreadful drowning accident to party of lumbermen on the Mattawan River. Forty or fifty men were on the log drive. The drive was at one of the rapids on Mattawan, and the men had procured some whiskey from the canteen. With this they got exhilarated and in drunken freak decided to run the rapids. Accordingly one of the log-driving boats was run out into the stream. Fourteen men boarded her. The boatsman and steersman were half-breeds, and in their sober senses would have found no difficulty in running the rapids safely. With songs they showed the boat off, and all went we'll until the middle of the rapids was reached Then those on the bank saw the steersman take out his paddle for an instant. This was fatal, as the current swung the boat round broadside, and over she went, throwing her load into the seething waters. The whole boat load was drowned or dashed to pieces on the rocks.
