singing; benedicton.
Misses Cora McGinnis and Eta Crout, of

was quite treat to the audience. In the piece
entitled "A Voice From the -Four Winds,
the young men representing the winds were
questioned through telephone by Miss Ber-
tie Buckingham, after which sound like the
whistling of the wind was produced by Il me-
chanical apparatus (the invention of Mr.. VIM.

The entertainment was under the manage
ment of the superintendent, Col S. X. Herr.

singing, and Miss Jennie Malehorn presided
at the organ The entertainment was pro-

CHARLoTTErowN, P. E. l., Nov. 13.-At
about o'clock last night, while the steamer
Neatherbell was returning from Orwell,
she collided with the steamer Fastnet, out
ward bound, and the former sunk about
half an hour after the collision. The
Neatherbell had some twenty passengers,
and all got aboard the Fastnet. The Fast
net took the wreck in tow for abont fifteen
minutes, but had to let go as it was sink
ing rapidly. While returning from Char
lottetown to land the passengers of the
Netherbell, the Fastnet ran aground near
the mouth of the harbor. A tug was sent
from the city to take off the passengers,
and arrived safely in port at o'clock this
morning. The fog was the thickest for
years. The Neatherben is total wreck.
She had considerable freight on board and
nothing was saved. There was no insur-
ance. The vessel was built in 1885 for the
Island Steam Navigation company and
was wooden boat of 202 tons gross
registration. She did packet service be-
tween this city and Orwell, Crapaud and
Mount Stewart.
The Fastnet got off this morning with
the assistance of tug and schooner, and
is now on her way to Halifax, apparently
rniniured
