SPLIT ON A ROCK.

One Hundred and Thirteen Go Down In

In the Path Of the Pacific Vessels-ThriIl-
ing Scenes at the Sinking Of the Suetta.
SAN Francisco, April 14.-By steam
ship MaripOsa from Australia additional
details have been received OF the wreck
eel steamer Suetta of Thourdan Island.
About nine o'clock on the evening of
March 1, the passengers, who were
holding an impromptu musicale, were
startled by the sudden stopping
of the engines and the grating
Of the vessels keel on the sunken
rock. In less than three minutes the
Suetta had sunk out OF sight leav-
ing POI people struggling in the waves.
Some were borne under by entangled
rigging, and others, more fortunate,
chung to the floating wreckage. One
hundred and thirteen lives were lost
OF one hundred and twenty-six whites,
only thirty escaped. While of the 165
negroes eighty-two survived, many of
the whites being imprisoned in the state
rooms. Captain Sanders states that he
was on the bridge when the vessel struck.
He pushed forward, and ordered the
boats out. He found the ship already
settling. He had just time enough to
climb the rigging and jump into the wa
ter when the vessel seemed to stand up
on end for moment and then sunk. At
ter a half hour he was picked up. The
rock on which the vessel struck is not
on the chart, a nd is right in the trach
of the course recommended by the Admir-
atty, which states that there are twelve
fathoms of water there.

LONDON, April 12.-The Times cores
pondent at Berlin says be notes a grow
ing anti-Stanley feeling there. Herr
Reichard, while lecturing recently, de-
clared that Stanley, while on his search
for Livingstone, learned from Arabs at
Zanzibar Livingtone's location, but con-
cealed his discovery in order to enhance
his feat. The lecturer further declared
that Stanley, by threats, had in
duced Emin to leave Wadelai, be-
cause he himself had failed in COM
mercial land grabbing and speculation,
utterly unredeemed bya human purpose
or a feeling for Emin- The lecturer
read letter from Count Stellaire, whose
son, the Zanzibar agent of the German
East Africa Company, had been in
formed that Stanley's proposition
70 Emin was to collect forces and
go and establish himself and found
stations in KavirondO, while Stanley
would bring two steamers from Nom
hasa and join him in an expedition
10 conquer Uganda and UnyOrO, and
create them provinces of an equatorial
dominion, Of which Emin, with prince
ly salary, should be ruler, in the service
of the British East Africa Company.
Railways would be built from the coast
through the Dominion, connecting with

traitors.


New YORK, April 1O.-Michael She-
han, Martin Ryan and Jas. Smith, en-
ployes of Mr.. Cheever, of Long Island,
were tried yesterday at Woodbury. court
house for docking the tails of their
ponies. The horses were to be used in
the game Of polo The men were ara
rested by the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals. Witnesses
for the people were numerous, and were
most emphatic in declaring dock
ing to be 8 most barbarous cruelty. The
prosecution produced the tail of horse,
and showed that the operation, no mat
ter how. skillfully done, must necessarily
cause great physical pain and suffering,
and when supplemented by burning the
stump with a red-hot iron, the agony
must have been excruciating. Each Of
the defendants claimed ignorance of law
in mitigation of his crime. In prohounci
ing sentence the Judge said owing
to the fact that it was their first offense
he would not impose the full penalty in
this instance; therefore he sentenced
Sheban to pay fine of fifty dollars and
be imprisoned in the county Jail for
twenty days, he being the one who act
1ally performed the operation. In the
case of Ryan and Smith a fine OF forty
dollars was imposed on each of them.
In the case of Mr.. Cheever, the owner of
the animals, decision will be rendered
in a few days.

nav and Bay City, while bound down
yesterday afternoon, ran into the Flint
and Pere Marwutte bridge, carrying
away all her upper works. She was six
ty feet west of her proper course in the
channel. Carelessness on the part Of those
in charge is given as the cause of the
accident Captain Dolsen got ashore
and escaped, although the police are
searching for him. George Little, en-
gineer, and Ed Trump, the man at the
wheel, are in jail. 1t is estimated that
there were thirty people on the boat at
the time of the accident and all were
swept into the river. The number of
lost as reported is five.

Hon. Samuel Jackson Randall.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-Is was a sad
and touching scene at the Randall resi-
dence, on Capitol Hill, when Congress
man Samuel J. Randall expired yester-
day morning, just as the bells Of a
neighboring church were tOlling 5
o'clock. Around the bedside were gath
cred the family, the physician and
Posttnastsr-General Wanamaker, who
had all kept constant watch over the
dying man during the night. A few
moments before his death ne had opened
his eye, and, looking tenderly at his
wife, said, in low tone: Mother" A
word instinct with all the fond recOllec-
tions Of their long and happy married life,
and by which he always called his wife
when none but the family were near.
He looked into her eyes as IL he were
about to say something more, but he
seemed to have no strength left, and in
few moments he had passed away.
Death had come with the coming Of the
dawn. The watchers saw that all was
over, and the brave wife and daughter,
who had nursed and cared for him dur
feelings no longer, but gave way
to their grief, while the physician
and Mr.. Wanamaker endeavored to
console them as best they might,
though their own grief hardly permit
ted them to speak. For the last week
it had been a certainty that the distin-
| guished Pennsylvania must go, and he
was in such a weakened and suffering
condition that death must have been
welcome release. The death OF
Mr.. Randall removes a National figure

for his convictions, but patriot, too, in
every fiber of his being. The deceased
