A Seaman's Account.

One of the shipwrecked men was seen on board the Cuidad Condol, another ship of Ceballos & Co.,, laying at pier 21, North river. He told practically the same story as Dr. Rico and Second Officer Covas, add ing that at the time of the collision nearly all of the Vizcaya's crew were asleep, being worn out with the hard work attendant upon leaving port. Only those on duty were up and about. He said that before the lashings of the boats could be taken off preparatory to lowering them the Viz caya's decks were under water. He saw several persons in the water clinging to floating debris, spars, hatches and wreck age, but all these soon sunk.
 A Sugar King Among the Lost.
 It is stated that Senor Calvo, who per- ished with his wife and son, was partner in the house of Francke & Co.,, of Havana, the biggest and richest sugar house in Cuba. He was on his way home with his family.
 The ViZcaya was one of the steamers of the Compania Transatlantica, owned by J. M. Ceballos & Go. She had just been overhauled, and this was her first trip after being refitted She was of 1898 tons regis ter 2S7 feet long and had accommodations for fifty passengers. She was barkentine rigged. The cargo of the Vizcaya was a general one, comprising lumber, provis- ions, hardware, furniture and machinery. The whole cargo was valued at $15O, 900. The vessel was insured by the owners. The Vizcaya was an iron vessel, and formerly piled between New York and Mediterran- can ports. Several theories are advanced as to the cause of the collision, but as none of the survivors, according to their state ments, saw the schooner before she struck the steamer, it is not and probably will not be known just how the affair happened. An investigation will probably be made by the company. MT. Bennice, of Ceballos & Co.,, was sent to Barnegat as soon as word of the disaster was received to see what he could learn there It is expected | ashore at that point.
 | The Engineers Story.
 | One of the most pathetic and heartrend- ing incidents of the ocean tragedy was re. lated by Chief Engineer Francisco Sierra to MT. Ceballos.
 "As I was climb ping the rigging" he said, 'I heard piteous cries. I turned and | looking down the companionway I saw Mrs. Calvo standing near the head of the stairway. She held her baby boy tightly clasped in her arms, and she was making a frantic effort to escape the terrible death staring them in the face. It seemed as ii she was more solicitous for the little one's life than her own. did all could to save them, hoping at least to rescue the child but it was of no avail. Before I could reach them the vessel sank and mother and child were swept from sight"

SLAIN WITH A SHOTGUN.
A Double Murder and Suicide at Sou
 St. Paul.

n OOuDlo UAuTu0r AnO Su1C1O0 at SOuCn
 St. Paul.
 SOUTH ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 3.-A bloody tragedy occurred here last evening, including double murder followed by the suicide of the murderer. Benjamin F. Rogers and William B. Rogers, Jr, are brothers engaged in the commission busi- ness and stock raising Saturday night some of their cattle strayed into adjoining meadows belonging to 8 farmer named George Robordge. Last evening the Rogers brothers went after their cattle, and dispute arose between them and Robordge over the ownership of several animals. -
 The quarrel grew warm and Robordge went to his home and returned with a double barreled shotgun loaded with slugs. Before the brothers could retreat he fired at Benjamin, literally blowing off his head. The second barrel was discharg- ed at William, fatally wounding him in the neck and breast.
 Robordge reloaded the gun and return ing to his barn divested himself of coat, hat and shoes. Placing the muzzle of the gun beneath his chin he pulled the trigger with his toe and blew of the top of his head.

COALITION REFUSED.

The Engineers Will Not Join the United
 Order of Railway Employees.
 PITTSBURG, Oct. 30-Thc convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have settled the federation question: The convention decided to refuse coalition with the United Order of Railway Employees this year, but at the same time did not change the law which permits system" federation.
 The executive body representing the en- gineers of each railroad system may, at it's option, affiliate with other organizations whose membership is composed of firemen, switchmen, conductors and trainmen. When this action was being explained by the keeper of the records he remarked, ''It has been decided not to federate this year," emphasizing the word "this." It is understood non-affiliation as brother hood was decided upon by rather small margin, and that it is apparent to many members that different action may be taken at the next convention. In addition to this business, J. D. Collins, of Atlanta Ga, was elected second grand assistant engineer.

 Crew-Her Passengers All Drowned, and
 seven Reached Shore Alive-The Fate
 of the schooner's Crew Still Shrouded
 in Mystery.
 NEW YORK, Nov 3-Six miles off Barne gat, on the Jersey coast, on Thursday even. ing was the steamship Vizcaya on her way to Havana. Near by was an unknown and probably unseen schooner. The night was clear-the moon shining brightly; the sea smooth. The hour was half past eight. Seven minutes later both vessels were at the bottom of the sea, and with them sank sixty-eight of their passengers and crews In those seven minutes collision and death struggle with the waves had taken place, a scene had occurred which even the dozen survivors cannot give the details of without stopping to make sure that it is not all horrible dream. -.... .....
 Fourteen of the Dead.
 The entire lot of passengers of the Viz caya were lost. Their names are: Senor Juan Pedro, partner of the firm of J. M. Ceballos & Co.,, of this city, and one of the owners of the lost steamship; M. A. Calvo, wife and son; M. Purr and two children; Mr. A. Ruiz, Jose Acaibia, Ramon AL varez, Juan F. Hedman, Oscar Islam, Ligui Pellion and Jose M. Garcia.
 Twelve of the crew of seventy-seven were saved from the steamship. The fate of the crew of the schooner is still unknown. The first news received of the disaster in this city was when the steamer Humboldt, from Brazil, arrived at her dock in Brooklyn having on board the twelve survivors of the catastrophe, which she had picked up at daybreak.
 Saved by the Humboldt
 Capt. Black, of the Humboldt, said that at daybreak his ship was off Barnegat light. Suddenly from their off port bow came a cry for help. Peering in that direc- tion through the mist of the early morning the officers of the Humboldt saw three masts sticking out of the water, and cling ing to the yards and rigging people were seen. Quickly boat was lowered and rowed to the unfortunate people. There were twelve of them-all sailors-clinging to the spars, and their joy was unspeakable when they were taken in the boat. They all be- longed to the steamship Vizcaya, and their names are as follows:
 Felipe Hazas, first officer; Gabriel Covas, second officer; Francisco Seera, first en- gineer; Dr. Andres Rico, surgeon; Serene Carlos, F. Lopez, Juan Seyjas, Angel Leon,
