An Old Publisher Dead.

BALTIMORE, July 9s.-[Speciall-
Samuel Sands, one of the Oldest citi-
zens Of Baltimore, died to-day aged %
years. He has been in uninterrupted
service as a printer, editor or publisher,
since his apprenticeship in 1911. Half a
century ago he published the American
Farmer, the first agricultural paper in
this country. He also, at one time, pub
lished the Morning Chronicle and in
1896. he bought out the Freeman S
Banner, advocating the election of Con
eral William Henry Harrison. He was
secretary of the Maryland State Agri-
cultural Society. Death was due to old
age.

row will contain an interview with Gov
ernor Campbell on the Ohio campaign.
lie thinks it will be, perhaps, the hard
est fought on record. The tariff issue.
he says, will be the most conspicuous
feature OF the campaign. Nothing can
defeat the Democrats except an enor-
nous corruption fund and even that
would fail, in his opinion, first because
Ohio has never been bought and there-
fore probably never will be, and sec
ondly because the Australian ballot
system renders nugatory, to a great
extent, all efforts to corrupt the voters.
Tho silver question will be an issue,
but not to such an extent as the tariff.
While tho Democrats declare after q
fashion for free coinage, yet is was upon
very close vote and the sentiment of
the party is much divided in this State.
1t would perhaps have been more of an
ISSUE had any one other than Major
Mckinley headed the Republican ticket;
but his nomination forces the tariff
issue, and upon that the Democrat is must
stand or fall. The Governor predicted
that the party would be successful.
CLEVELAND NOT TO GO TO OHIO.
To representative of tho Boston
Herald at Buzzard's Bay cx-President
Cleveland said yesterday. in reply to in
quiries concerning tho report that he
was to go on u speech making trip in
Ohio:
81 have not been requested by tho
Ohio Democrats to make speeches in
their State during the pending canvass.
do not expect to take part in the
campaign there, nor in any other State,
as have never given the slightest in
timation of an intention to do SO. 1 am
convinced that Gov. Campbell and all
other fair minded political friends will
understand that, ii decline to go upon
the stump, there are perfectly good and
valid reasons for my action, entirely
consistent with the most ernest desire
for tho success of all Democratic candi-
dates in Ohio or elsewhere OF course,
| anticipate the cry will be raised in
certain quarters, if such q request is
made and declined, that l am selfish

natured accusations do not expect to

THE clRcE BROKEN IN TWO.
How the Ship Was Lost-The Captain and
Others Drowned.

QUEBEc, July 2s.-[Special THE
Allan line steamer Grecian has arrived
here with the fourth engineer, two sea-
men, two cattle-owners and eight cattle
men OF the Inflated steamer Gree,
which was wrecked at East Cape, Anti
cost. When the Grecian passed Heath
Point the Gree was broken in two or
three pieces and a total wreck. The
two seamen brought here are the men
who were in the lookout when the
steamer struck.
The fourth engineer was on watch in
the engine room at the same time The
We sci had an ordinary run across the
Atlantic and through tho straights OF
Felle Isle, ali going we'll until Satur-
day evening, the 18th inst, That night
tho weather became thick and foggy,
with fresh breeze. Tho vessels speed
was reduced, the captain endeavoring
make out Heath Point light. He
and nearly all the officers were on deck.
A vigilant lookout was being kept, but
Notwithstanding this, the steamer
struck at ll:l5 p. m. She began to take
water fast. The most perfect discipline
was maintained on board, and there was
not tho SLIGHTEST excitement or confus-
ion.
Capt. Jennings therefore decided to
land tho cattlemcn and most of tho
crew, the latter to return to tho steamer,
should tho weather permit. The boats
were accordingly got out, and all on
board except the captain, the first and
second engineers, the chief steward, and
storcman got into them. After the
boats left the ship the wind increased
considerably, and it was impossible to
and, as the breakers were dashing high
upon the rocks. When about an hour
had been spent in rowing around, look
ing for landing, u schooner was dis
covered some distance off, She was
hailed by those in tie boats. and bore
down to them, taking all hands on board
and landing them at Fox Bay. From
there the men proceeded to Heath Point
on foot.
On arriving there they found that tho
wind had suddenly increased to heavy
gale, and that the Gree had become a
total wreck, the captain and those left
on board with him having been
drowned. Being asked whether the
captain and his associates had been
washed overheard or were lost from a
boat, tho men said that it was impossi-
bic - say, as no one saw them. All
the survivors OF tho wreck remained at
Heath Point until the steamer Alcides
passed out, when a majority Of the crew
went aboard of her and proceeded to
Glasgow. Tho mon who were brought
up to Quebec remained at Heath Point
until Friday morning, when thew wero
