NO NEWS YET.
Nothing Further Regarding Passengers Of
the 'Danmark."

New YORK, April 13-The Aller from
Bremen arrived at her dock this morning
1t was hoped that she might bring some
news of the passengers and crew of the
abandoned steamer Danmark, but such
was not the case, as the first her captain
heard of the disaster was from the report
ers who thronged to the dock The Aller
had sighted no wreckage or encountered
any signs of the disaster.
The mails from the White Star steamer
Brittanic, which arrived last night, was
distributed TINS morning and among the
letters was one for Funch Edye & Co.
containing a list of the passengers who
were on board the abandoned steamer
Danmark. The Brittanic arrived at
her dock about $50 p. NJ,
but the letters for Funch,
Edge & Co. were not opened till this
morning. No news concerning them has
yet been received, but the agents of the
steamer which is by this probably at the
bottom of the sea, are hopeful that some
passing vessel may have taken off the pas
sengers and crew. In hoping for this good
fortune they ARE half eXpectant that it

o'clock this morning she had not been

New YORK, April ia great number

door of the passenger office anxious TO hear

TROUBLE ON SHORE.

Meanwhile, much trouble was being ex-
perienced ashore with sailors who had
been rescued from the Nipsic. There was
no place of shelter for the men to go to.
The dry clothing with which they had
been supplied was soon drenched. They
had been at work all night without food
and it was impossible to give them break
fast on shore for some time. a great
number ofthem visited saloons and it was
not long before many were intoxicated
and looking for an opportunity to cause
trouble.

THE VESSEL BEACHED.

THE VESSEL BEACHED.
Captain SHOEMAKER and Lieutenant
Carlin saw it was useless to make any fur
Their attempt to save the ship. As her en-
gines were not powerful enough TO steam
out to sea, as the Calliope had done they
determined to beach the vessel. Two OF
her anchor chains were slipped and a
full head of steam put on, more
than she had ever dared to carry
before. Past Assistant Engineer Webster
was III charge of the engine room and be
required bis whole force of men to exert
themselves to their utmost TO keep the
fires up and engines going. The Eandalia
was quarter of a mile from the Nipsic
and she was obliged to run along the edge
OF the reef the whole distance in order TO
reach the sandy beach beyond. Every one
on shore crowded down near the spot
where it was expected she would strike
and watched the vessel steam across the
harbor The Nandalia's draught was
much greater than the Nipisc and il was
known that she would not be able to get
very close to the shore She came on until
her bow struck in the soft sand about 100
yards off shore and probably fifty
wards from the stem Of the NipSic The
engines were stopped at once and every
man who was below rushed on deck The
VandaIia swung around broadside 20 the
beach, and a. first lit was thought

iE "pEMNIrIok .HoRRIp GRIND

The funny man sat at his desk one day
And sharpened his pencil long,
Then started TO write with all his might
The words of a rollicking song;
For the managing editor, stern and grim:
In planning the work that day
Had said in a solemn tone 10 him.
To drive duh care away
From the readers minds" so he'd begun
To grind column of boisterous fun
He punned on his worn and threadbare coat.
Then glanced at his shabby hat,
And quickly, with nervous hand, he wrote
A laughable joke on that;
II, thought of his suffering babe at home,
And his eyes began to CLEAN
With humor bright as his hand would write
Some fun that would make men scream:
Then he thought of his sad wife's anxious
tears,
And wrote some jokes that would live for
wears
He wrote his joke and verse and pun.
Pure coin from humor'S mint;
Nor paused till the task was fairly done
And lie had finished his stint;
Then quietly crept out into the night,
And home to his sad eyed wife,
And with her he watched for death to smite
His child, and end the strife;
For while his pencil had laughter bred
His brain was filed with a terrible dread.
And so it happened that the very next day
While readers far and wide
Laughed long and loud in a boisterous way
He sat at Il collins side
The world moved on; but little it rocked
His sorrow cruel and keen;
To furnish folks fun was all they'd expect
From the brains of hired machine;
So Selling once more his pencil then
He stihed his sorrow to grind again.

thus renoyating the organic nervous system

protected from the inhalation of etfete matter
and poisonous inhalation from his own body

BLOPED FOB A DAY.
A Bride Carried Off by Boy in
Blue.

A most romantic elopement, of short
duration and serious results, took place
in this city not many days ago.
Ayoung girl, not more that II years
old. whose parents live in the Eighteenth
Ward in this city and whose name is
suppressed for the present, was mar
ried a few months ago to an honest
mechanic whose industry had placed
him in comfortable position, so far as
finances are concerned. He gave the
girl comfortable home and plenty to
live upon. The rent from two or three
little cottages, which he had built with
his savings, augmented his daily
wages, and placed him in q position to
give his wife freely all the comforts she
enjoyed. Those who know the girl say
that she seemed to be very happy, but
the sequel of this story shows that she
would have been better off had she had
more to do to take up her time. There
was no necessity, however, for her
working, and so she did not work.
One bright day, early in the present
month, the guileless bride was hanging
on the front gate, swinging to and fro,
and rejecting upon how truly the cold
atmosphere of this winter had frozen
to death all the flies that life ever had
on it, when she saw approaching q GAL
liant form on horseback. The said
form was clothed in blue and from the
front of the fatigue jacket he wore, q
row OF brass buttons shone and sperkled
in the sun like so many diamonds,
She saw them, and her eyes sparkled in
return. 1t was real live soldier. She
stared at him and he stared in return.
But he only stared and rode slowly by.
Her heart began to fiutter, and her head
was swimming. How handsome he
was! Well, he was handsome, and the
more she thought of him the hand
somer he grew. Why had she let him
escape? She was about to answer this
seltimposed question with disconso-
late. II give It up" when 10! she saw
him again returning. She stared again;
he stared again and again, and slowly
rode by. But he didn't 60 far.
All, therei" she cried.
Stay there!" he sighed.
But wait just minute and gimme
ride" He waited and q moment later
she was mounted behind him, and the
proud steed was galloping down the
street.
Just after dark, the faith]ess bride
Slip al from the back of the charger.
and n ed co her home, about block
away. u. re to meet the just wrath of
an injured husband.
Over what happened in the mean
time, modesty draws her veil tightly.
Readers may guess as the husband was
forced to. She never told, but owing
to circumstances over which she had
no control, She no longer enjoys the
nome comforts and protection of her
husband. He is looking for faithful
woman; she is arguing against reason
that her name is not Mud"
The above story is true, and names
are suppressed only for the sake of the
innocent ones who would be injured by
having them made pubic.
