LOST WITH 81 LIVES.
The Steamer Viscaya Sunk by a
Schooner.

A tragedy Of the sea, accompanied with de-
with details of a mast narrowing description
befel the Spanish steamship yiscaya at 7.30
O'Clock Thursday night, barely seven hours
after she left her post. with 50 souls aboard,
of whom only twelve were rescued to tell of
the disaster.
The Niscaya had just passed Barnegat
Light; the stars were shining brightly.
Captain Grancesco canill stood on the bridge
and the male passengers, of whom there
were ten, were in the smoking room and on
deck.
Suddenly a schooner loomed up, and
without warning crashed into the starboard
side amidships, cutting terrible hoe in the
side, through which the sea poured, ex-
tinguishing the fires and destroying all
chance drumming the vessel ashore.
A part of the rigging fell on Captain Canill
killing him instantly. Four minutes later
the steamer sank with all her passengers
and sixty-five of her crew. Barely had the
boiling of the water announcei that the
steamer had gone down when the schooner
disappeared leaving no trace even of her
crew
Close upon the crash followed a terrible
scene Mrs. CalvOs, one of the passengers
rushed on deck with her baby in her arms,
and when she learned that the vessel was
going to sink, she cried loudly for help for
herself and child, but no heed was paid to
/ her. Mr.. Purr and his three children, all of
4 tender years, were also on deck with the
other passengers, and as the vessel went
down the air was rent with the despairing
| cries of the doomed ones.
The crew, evidently, made no effort to save
any one but themselves. As soon as the
vessel struck those on deck jumped into the
water and swan to the schooner. There
were about twenty OF them. No attempt
was made TO send up distress rockets.
J An order was given TO lower a lifeboat
but as the vessel began to settle the crew
abandoned the attempt. Those who had
leaped overheard managed TO reach the
schooner and climbed up into the rigging,
from which twelve were subsequently res
cued af er twelve hours Of suffering by the
British steamer Humboldt, bound from Rio
Janerio to this port.
Many ofthe crew were without hats, coats,
shoes, or, in fact, any covering but shirts
and trousers, and when taken OFF they shook
like palsied men, were not able to speak,
aud had to be carried on board the steamer.
During the twelve hours that they were ex-
posed number of them dropped into the
sea, either frozen or killed.
Those above, seeing the same fate staring
them in the face. cut pieces from the upper
sails of the schooner and used them as
covering, and to that they owe their lives.

TExARKASA, Tex, Oct. Sl.-Two young
farmers named Markham were held up by

New Boston, and robbed of SEQ In few
minutes two prominent attorneys happened
along and the Markhams told them their
tale. The lawyers laughed at the farmers
for allowing one man to rob both of them
and said they would like to see one man rob
them. They rode off laughing, but had not
gone far when they were suddenly confront
ed by the robber and his pistol. He robbed
them of their gold watches and all their
money.

CoLUMBus, O., Nov. 4.-Early returns
from nearly every section of the State in-
dicate Republican victory by msjorities
ranging from 1900 to 10000. The re-
suit is no surprise, however, as Ohio may
be relied upon to give decisive Repub-
lican majority when there are no demor-
alizing agents at work in the party. Not
only we're the Republicans at peace with
each other this year, but their opponents
were afflicted with the worst case OF
apathy they have experienced for a long
time. There was much more interest
centered in the congressional campaign
than in the State contest.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. THE returns Sc
far received from almost all the counties
in the Stae show an unbroken line
of Pattison gains. amounting in many
cases TO q landslide Philadelphia will
give Delsmater a majority of 10000. but
the reports received mp to date indicate
that PAttison will come TO the city with
enough to Offset this. Chairman Kerr,
Of tie Democratic State Committee,
claims tie State by 10000, on the basis
Of 10000 for Delamater in Phiiadelphia.
The city returns are slow in being given
out, bat they viii rot vary much from
that figure. At Republican headquarters
they do not give up the State, bat they
are evidently disheartened. The Repub-
licans seem to have lost three Congress
men in the State.
Twenty-four counties, including Ale
gheny, but not including Philadelphia,
give Pattison a net plurality Of Z 7,l65.
These p counties in 1856 gave Beaver,
Republican, a net plurality Of 1870,
