DOM PEDRO DEAD.


emperor of Brazil, died to-day, aged &c
years. His complaint was diabetes 1t is
said that almost the last conscious words
of the ex-emperor were an expression of
his deep affection for Brazil, and his re-
greet that he could not be back there to
die.
Dom Pedro II was born in Rio Janeiro,
December 2, 1925. He assembled the
throne after the revolution of 1881 had
compelled his father, Dom Pedro l, to alb
dictate, but was not crowned emperor un-
til July, 10, 1871. He married September
4, 1912, dona Theresa Christina Maria,
daughter of Francisco I, king of the Two
Sicilies. The line has been continued
through the marriage of the emperor's
daughter to Louis, Count d'Eu, son of the
due de Nemours, to whom a son was born
in 1875, who before the present
republic was established was the
heir apparent to the throne of
Brazil. The reign of Dom Pedro had been
generally marked by the exercise of wis
dom and good Judgment. He issued a
decree in 1871 authorizing the gradual
abolition of slavery. In 1876 the emperor
and empress visited the United States, ar
irving ia April, and devoted their time to
visiting the principal cities, the emperor
making thorough investigation of the
public institutions of the country, the sys-
tenn of government, education, facilities
for transportation, commerce and nnanufac-
lures. On May 10 he assisted President
Grant in the formal opening of the CEN
tennisl exhibition at Philadelphia. He
visited the west, extending his journey as
far as California, and on leaving the
United States made rapid trip through
Europe and to Egypt and Syria.
In November, 1889, Dom Pedro was
forced to abdicate the throne of Brazil
and the present republic was established,
Senior ds Fonseca being elected president.
Since his retirement from Brazil he has
made his homo in Enrone

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Tribune's
Haverstraw dispatch says Twelve barges
loaded with brick and lowed blythe steam
er Townsend, coming down the river,
when opposite Croton point were upset
at about o'clock this evening and about
twenty persons drowned.
When at Croton point the swash of the
river was 80 great that the tug was COM
PEELED to round to, thus forcing the
barges to ride each other. Being loaded
and the tide washing high they Immediately
upset. There were sixty men on the
twelve barges and only thirty have come
ashore.
The accident is attributed by many to
the carelessness of the pilot of the tug.
W. G. Curran, boat hand on the
Louise, who has just arrived from his
swim ashore, says: "We were playing
the concertina in the cabin at the time

see one scow run on top of the other. The
boats did not sink, but toppled over.
Upon each barge were five men, making

Tugs are out in the hope of saving any
who may have chung to the bottom of the
capsized barges, but little hope is enter
tanned as to the safety of the remainder of

be drowned from the different boats.

RUIN AND DEATH.

A deafening crash instantly followed;
walls and ceilings came tumb1ing down
upon those in the offices; the windows of
the building were blown out and across
Rector street into Trinity cemetery, and
ruin and death marked the catastrophy.
The building trembled to it's foundations,
rocked to and fro and seemed about to ut
terly collapse. The floors seemed to rise
up and then to sink beneath the feet.
Panic reigned. Every Office in the struc-
ture WAS emptied of its occupants in a
twinkling, and people ran over and
trampled upon each other in their mad
haste to get down the stairways.

sion were thrown to the ground. The
noise was heard for blocks around, and
people rushed from their Offices along
lower Broadway and Wall street and ran
bareheaded into the street to learn what
had happened. For few moments every
body in the vicinity was stunned, and
then there was a rush for the building,
which was now snveloped in thick cloud
of white dust which poured out from the
broken windows. In less than five min
utes after the explosion Broadway and
Rector street were packed from curb to
curb with struggling mass of excited hu-
manity.
