Captain LissWell's story OF tho Colli-
sion with the French steamer - He
Thinks the Steamer Ran Him Down
Intentionally Those Who Were
Drowned.
HALIFAX, Dot. Captain Lisswell of the
ship Minnie Swift, lost In collision with the
French steamer Geographique. off st. Pierre,
MIG, has arrived here. He states that moth
ing Of Importance occurred until the eleventh
when the barque "Zolatta" was fallen in with,
dismasted and water-logged. With consider
able difficulty twelve of her crew were taken
from the rigging. Her captain, Thompson,
and two sailors had already been drowned.
At $50 on the morning of October
steamers lights were observed about six
miles distant. The steamer was on a course
| which would have enabled her to avoid the
steamer, but when a mile distant changed
her course and rendered collision inevita-
BILE. Seeing this, those on board the ship
rang a bell and hailed her to keep off,
but she continued until she struck the
Swift ON the starboard bow, just forward of
| the port rigging, cutting through to the fore-
mast. She then fell along side, crushing IN
the starboard side. Tho steamers quarter
having fallen to the chips quarter, all hands
| tried to get on board the steamer. Mate
J. W. Morris of Spencer Island, Carpen-
ter George Gerster of Liverpool and
one seaman missed their hold, fell
between the vessels and were drowned, The
cook, the stewardess and Miss Narsters, q
passenger went down with the Minnie Swift.
Shortly after getting on board the steamer 1t
was found she was sinking and Captain
| Lisswell and eleven men of the Minnie
Swift's crew, nine of Zolatta's crew ~ In al,
got in one boat and lay off for an hour from
the steamer. Finding she was settling over
fast and having all the people the boat could
carry, the captain decided to row for land.
Six honrs afterwards they were seen by the
bark Petiodiac, which hove-to, took them
on board, and landed them at Dali
house four days later. Captain Liss-
we'll says he fully believes the captain
or those in charge Of the steamer ran him
down Intentionally. The statement of Cap.
tain Paus of the Geographique was received
here to day from st. Pierre. He says the
weather was bright at 9. m. when he re-
tired and at 3 O'Clock he felt the shock OF the
collision.
First Lieutenant Dangnier was in charg'
, at the time. Water began to pour in on tn
port side, which was badly broken, and b!
ID O'Clock the vessel was half full ant
A shortly afterward sank. The captain save'

He insists on having gallon of the chilly fluid left in his cell each night and he drinks it all and wants more before morning. During the hours of daylight he consumes twice as much and says he could swallow double the quan- tity if it were given him. He protests that he never before enjoyed such health, but the doctor thinks of curtailing his allowance, lest his copious libations should result in

Wires are placed around the wrists, feet, ankles and neck of the corpse, and if there be but a slight movement of reanimation, an electric bell, connected by wire with the coffin, in the sexton's house gives the alarm, and by turning to the regis ter, similar to that of hotel, he sees at once the grave that resurrectionists are tampering with, or when body has been buried alive. A small tube containing oxygen gas, capable of sustaining life for twenty-fo hours, is placed at the head of the corpse, and if there be a move ment this gas is released, the bell to the sexton's house is rung, and if that is not responded to the bell in the tower, to at tract attention of outsiders, is set in mo- ton.

A FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD.
Peculiar Affiiction Which Resulted in the
 Death of a Young Man.

Death of a Young Man.
 SOUTH HADLEY, Mass, March 1.-George Carpenter, about p years of age, while em- ployed last Monday in removing some ice pinched one of his toes so hard to raise a blood blister. As he had often had serious trouble from losses of blood in cases of trivial scratches he was especially careful ill this in stance not to break the blister. On Tuesday, however, with all his care and watchful ness, it broke, and the blood flowed from the wound so freely as to cause himself and his parents such alarm that Dr. Clark was called. After some difficulty the bleed- ing was stopped, only, however, to begin flow ing from the nose. For hours the doctor worked increasingly to stop the hemorrh age. and finally succeeded, but despair seized upon all present when it was seen, a few moments later, that from the mouth gushed forth the crimson torrent, which was hurrying the sui ferer to his grave. The doctor and his at tendant were unremitting ill their efforts to check the flow of blood, but they were un- successful, and the young man gradually sank until death ensued.
 Carpenter was very peculiar i'll his looks, having the appearance of one Ill the last stages of consumption, and would bleed copiously upon receiving the slightest scratch During his childhood hls parents would never permit him to use knife, lest he might cut himself and bleed to death. Only about two weeks ago he came near bleeding to death by having a tooth drawn. The disease seems tG have been inherited, as his grandfather ant uncle died from similar causes. A medica examination Showe1 that his blood failed tt circulate properly, but flowed through chan neS other than the natural ones.

Accurate History.

A Minneapolis gentleman proposes to set up photograph to record the words of his better half during his absence. The lady, on the other hand, declares that she intends to have the same sort of a faithful recorder in his office that she may know just what passes between him and those feminine clients of his who ire quent bis office so much. There is one field into which tho photograph should go hand in hand with amateur photog raphy. The parent could not only take his infants likeness in all sorts of thrill ing and angelic attitudes, but he could record the youngsters infantile chatter, the very tones and words in all their beauty and artlessness. Then when the baby boy has grown old and wayward, the parent can turn back to those fond - records stamped for eternity on the pho nosram and live over again the delights of the days gone by. Quite an interest in the photograph is being worked up in Minneapolis and all sorts of novel exper- iments arc being tried.-St. Paul Pic neer Press.
