NO SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE TO THE CITY OF
PARIS.

Protocols Signed.

QUEENSTOWN. March 3l.-Thc stern
of the steamer City Of Paris is deeply
sunk and her bows are high out of the
water \ number of steam pumps are
at work on the ship, but they are hard
ly gaining on the water which is flowing
into her.
There has been no increase in the
water in the City Of Paris since yestcr-
day. 1t is believed that the bottom Of the
steamer is not injured, and that the
water which covered both engines prob
ably rushed through the ordinary
inletand outlet pipes leading through
the . engine rooms. These pipes.
with their valves and all their attach
mentS were destroyed by the breaking
OF the machinery. and free rush Of
water into the steamer was thus afford
ed. Divers are making thorough eq-
animation of the steamers hull.
The Telegraph says there is not the
least reason that the accident to the
City Of Paris should deter any person
from trusting his life To the fast liners.
On the contrary, the magnitude Of the
peril SurmOuntcd with such success
demonstrates again how efficiently
the safety as well as the comfort of the
passengers is catered to.

modified the terms of the will SO as to
accord Mrs. Miller her rights rs a wife,

4 Mans Clothes, Hat, Shoes and Hair
Blown on by an Explosion.

\ REGISTER reporter, while passing
vacant lot on South Eoff street last eve

rear Of the lot by n muflcd explosion,
and he Immediately went back To inVeS-

or sign that the figure was alive until a
