One Hundred and Thirteen
People Lose Their Lives
Off Thurdah Island.

and Goes Down in Three
Minutes.
A River Steamer Is Disman-

Are Drowned.

on a Rampage.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13.-BY steam
ship Mariposa from Australia addi-
tional details have been received of the
wrecked steamer Suetta off Thurdah
island. About o'clock on the evening
of March / the passengers, who were
holding an impromptu musical. were
startled by the sudden stopping of the
engines and the grating of the vessePs
keel on the sunken rock. In less than
three minutes the Suetta had sunk out
of sight, leaving 291 people struggling
in the waves. Some were borne under
by the tangled rigging and others, more
fortunate, clinging to the float
ing wreckage. One hundred and
thirteen lives were lost. Of 106
whites only 80 escaped, while of the 1875
negroes, 80 survived, many of the
whites being imprisoned in the state
rooms. Capt. Sanders states that he
was on the bridge when the vessel
stauck. He rushed forward and ordered
the boats out. He found the ship al
ready settling. He had just time to
climb the rigging and jump into the
water when the vessel seemed to stand
up on end for moment, and then sank.
After half hour he was picked up. The
rock on which the vessel struck is not
on the chart, and is right in the track of
the course recommended by the admi-
rally, which states there are twelve
fathoms of water there.

TO BE SETTLED TUESDAY.
Sanders and Power Will Soon
Be Senator'S.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Under the
terms of Mr.. Hoar's notice, given last
Friday, the senate was to be asked to
sit Monday until the Montana election
case shall be disposed of, but the decis-
ion of that case will probably go over
until Tuesday. as the senate is expected
to adjourn tomorrow upon announce
ment of the death of Mr.. Randall. In
announcing his intention to ask the
senate to ''Sit out" the election case to-
morrow, Mr.. Hoar stated that the Re-
publicanS had no intention of further
discussing it. Senator Hawley. at the
first opportunity, will call up the
worlds fair bill. He may get it before
the senate in the morning hour
Tuesday. and if no debate should
arise, it will be passed before the Mon
tana case comes up. Should there be
manifested desire to discuss it, how
ever, the bill will go over until after the
Montana case is settled. The next bill
on the order of business is the McKin-
ley administrative customs bill, but as
the appropriations committee will have
the district, army and pension bills
ready for the consideration of the Sen-
ate during the week. it is scarcely prob
able that the customs bill will receive
much, If any attention. In addition to
the appropriation bills the senate will
be asked by Mr.. Hale to take up and
dispose of the bill proposing a special
enumeration and certificatlOn of the
Chinese residents by the census officials.
Saturday will be devoted to diSpOsing
of bills on the calendar to which no OBJ
lection is made. The death of Mr. Ran
dali will, it is presumed, operate to
postpone further debate IN the house
on the bill to establish national
ZOO in Washington, which was the
order for tomorrow. until the next dis
trict day, when it will be the unfinished
business. The debate on the naval ap-
preparation bill is the only enlivening
feature in prospect for the week; other
wise the proceedings promise to be of
purely routine character. 1he naval
committee is making every effort to
overcome the adverse action of the
house i'm committee of the whole on the
battle ship clause of the appropriation
bill, and hopes to reverse the decision
when an aye and no vote is taken, which
may be Tuesday. Two election cases
reported by the elections committee re-
main to be disposed of. They are the
Indiana case of POSey VS.. ParrOtt and
the Virginia case of Bowen VS.. Bueh-
anan. As the reports favor the sitting
Democratic members. but little time is
likely to be consumed in their cOnsid-
Grafton. The legislative appropriation
bill will come along later in the week.
and will probably fill out the remainder
of the time up to Saturday, which will
be devoted to euIogies upon the late
Representative Cox. of New York.

lock in the presence of the dead body
of the wife's mother with hands clasped
over the coffin which contained the re-
mains of the loved one and at the re-
quest of the deceased woman. Some
months ago Miss Clarissa A. Moore,
daughter of Mrs. DR.. A. Moore, of Also
Lucky street, met John FentOn, son OF
a wealthy Englishman living at Kings
ley, To-, and heir to considerable es-
tate in England. On both sides it was
a case of love on first sight. Tine
mother and daughter had been
inseparable companions; in fact, more
like sisters than parent and
child. Whenever Mrs. DR.. Moore was
called to see patient Miss Clarissa in
variably accompanied her. When Mr..
Fenton appeared on the scene he at
once conceived violent passion for the
young lady. The evident affection of
each for the other was approved by the
mother, and it was not long before the
engagement Of the couple was an
nounced. Recently Mrs. Moore Was
taken ill, and despite most constant
care grew gradually worse until last
Wednesday when she realized that she
had but few hours to live. Calling
her daughter she endeavored to make
known her wishes. but could only utter
the words, "The church" lntultlvely
Miss CIarissa knew what her mother
wished to say, and asked:
"Mother, is it your wish that John and
l should be married at once?''
The dying woman partially raised
herself on the bed, smile illumined
her face, and she finally answered
"Yes." This was the last word she
spoke, dying soon afterward. Mr.. Fen
ton was notified Of the dying woman's
request, and Thursday afternoon in the
presence of some fifty relatives and
friends of the family the young people
took their places on either side of the
coffin, and with hands clasped the sac
rament of marriage was performed bv
the officiating clergyman. Then the
remains of the mother, whose love for
her daughter extended beyond the
grave, were taken to the cemetery for
interment. the newly made man and
wife being chief mourners. Mr.. and
Mrs. Fenton will soon leave for Kings
ley. To-, where they will reside in the
future.

TOWNS GREAT PERIL.
Pleasantville, N. j., in Imminent
Danger of Destruction.

PLEAsANTvILLE. N. j., April 49,
At about o'clock this afternoon the
most destructive fire that has WIS.,
tied this section for the last
fifteen years broke out in the
northern part Of this town. The origin
of the fire cannot be positively ascer-
tanned, but it is thought it was started
by some wood strolIers. At O'Clock
smoke was seen rising from the small
clump of large pines about three miles
north of here. As the wind increased
in force, although it did not
reach over three miles per hour,
the fire was seen to be rapidly spread
ing, and in less than an hour it was
over three miles wide and about FIVE
long. Several detached houses, as well
as the whole town of Pleasantvilie.
we're now in danger. By five o'clock
ovvr $4,000 worth of young timber had
been laid low. Large gangs
of men who had attempted to
fight the fire had to stand back and
look on, owing to the intense heat.
Occasionally, when slight puff of
wind would strike the fire, the flames
shot upward to the height of several
hundred feet, driving back the fire
fighters on the run. At o'clock all
efforts to get within half mile of the
fire proved futile. All the evening
the fire continued to work it's way
down towards the town. AT 9 O'Clock

JEALOUSY PROMPTS MURDER
A Detroit Man Kills His Wife and
Himself.

DETROIT, Mich. April 13.-A frame
cottage at 226 Third street, this city,
was the scene of horrible murder and
suicide some time during last night.
Alexander Cuddy, aged sixty-two. and
his wife. aged thirty, resided there. 1t
has been known for ONE time that
Cuddy and his wife lived unhap-
PLY together. Last nisht people
who passed the house heard
loud and angry words, but as such oc-
currences were common in the neigh
hood nothing was thought of the matter.
This morning Herbert Cuddy, son of
Alexander by former wife, went to
the house, but could not gain admit
tance. He then proceeded to break
open the back door, and when his
efforts were crowned with success
horrible sight met his gaze. His father
was hanging from rafter. quite dead,
and at his feet lay the disfigured
body of his wife. and near at fald was
found an axe besmeared with blood. A
deep cash on the woman'S LETT forehead
showed how she had met her horrible
fate. Cuddy left rambling letter ad-
dressed ITO the Press" the gist of
which was that he was jealous of his
wife; that they lived unhappily to-
gether and he thought it best that they
should both be dead.

can Statesman.
WASHINGTON, April Is. Samuel
Jackson Randall was born in Philadel-
peia Oct. 10, 1928. He came into public
life at very early age as Democrat.
and has never since been retired even
temporarily. He served four years
in the common council of his native city.
and one term. 1859, in the PennSyl-
vania legislature as state senator. Mr..
Randall was first elected to congress in
1862. He commenced his congressional
life IN December, 1868, in the Thirty
eighth congress Gn which Hon. James
q. Blaine served his first tern) only two
years after his old friend, but political
opponent of thirty years standing, the
late William D.Kelley, had commenced
career in congress that lasted nearly
thirty years. Mr.. Randall was returned
at every succeeding election, and at the
time of his death had served twenty
six years in congress-, or through thir-
teen congresses. He was elected for
fourteenth term. but, though he took
the oath and qualified as member, he
was not able, because of failing health,
to take his seat in the present congress.
Mr.. Randall was candidate for speaker
of the Forty-fourth congress in 1875, but
was defeated by Hon. Michael G. Kerr,
by whom he was appointed chairman of
the committee on appropriations. At
the second session of the same congress
Mr. Randall was chosen for speaker
Mr.. Kerr having died during
the recess. Mr.. Randall was re-
elected speaker in the forty-hfth
congress by the Democrats in 1877.
BY reason of long service and close at
tention to his duties, Mr.. Randall be-
came the most expert pariiamentarian
on the Democratic side of the house. In
familiarity with the rules and all
branches of parliamentary law. he per-
haps had no superior in either party;
and as far back as 1875. when the great
contest over the force bill took place at
the close of the Forty-third congress,
Mr.. Randall was, by common consent,
assigned the leadership of the Demo
cratic minority

The Pan-Americans Prepared for
a Southern Trip.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The busi-
ness of the International American con-
ference is so far advanced that there is
little doubt that the delegates can leave
for the excursion through the So nj
at midnight of Friday, the 18th,
as originally planned. About one-half
of them have already arranged to take
the trip, and several others will doubt
less decide to postpone their departure
for home for that purpose, so that the
party will consist of about forty per-
sons. The arrangements for transport
tatiOn have been completed, and
the special train will be similar
to that used on the Northern excursion
last fall: the finest that can he secured.
The plans of entertainment in several
of the cities to be visited have been sub
mitted, and the programmes will be
completed and printed as soon as the
remainder are heard from. The
following telegram has been re-
ceived from New Orleans: "The Pam
American delegates and party will be
the guests of the chamber of commerce
and industry representing the city Of
New Orleans and the State of Louis
lana. from the time they cross the state
line until they recross it. Hotel bills,
carriage hire, etc., will be cared for by

You can assure him that he will receive
d hearty welcome" Similar messages

the fire had worked its way into the
cedar swamp, and unfortunately the
wind began to freshen up. In fifteen
minutes it had played sad havoc there
and in the deer pines, where game is
abundant. At II O'Clock tonight, from
rough estimate, the loss in property
will reach figure between $25.000 and
$4,000. An hour previous to this time
runner arrived and stated that the fire
was at its highest. Several houses
which stood back in the pines at this
time had been laid in ashes. For over
two hours Pleasantville has been lighted
up as bright as day by the flames. Ii
the fire is not checked before MORN
ing it is feared it will reach the
town. The roaring of the flames can be
heard five miles distant. The heaviest
losers by the fac so far are Alfred
Doughty, an extensive land owner OF
Absecom; Joel Richards. of Gloucester
county, and Peter B. Risley. of Pleas
antville. Some twenty-five others, liv-
ing in various parts of the state, also
