City Of Rome Lost.
By United Press.

New YORK, Oct. IA des-
patch has just been received from
St. Johns, n. F., to the effect that
the lost steamer is the ''City OF
Rome," which sailed from Mon
treal on October z, and not the
Anchor Line steamer of that name.
ST. JOHNS, n. F., October IA. A
sailor named John Brennan arrived
at Trepassey to-day and tells the
following story: He was one of
the crew of forty-three of the steam
er, "City of Rome," commanded 5y
Capt. John Thomas Nelly, which
left Montreal, October 7th, for
Dundee with 565 cattle and lot
of flour and maize. The steamer,
he says, was totally wrecked Mon
day night at Marine Cove, Saint
Mary's bay. The captain, crew
and officers were all drunk and
could not save themselves. He was
thrown on the rocks and after ter.
rible nights experience was rescued
by man named Lundrigan on
Tuesday morning. All the Others
were lost. He tells pitiful tale o
the struggles of the crew and of th'
cattle in their efforts to save them
selves.

MANY MISSING BOATS.
By United Press.

New YORK, Oct. IA. The fear
full storm which ragged in this vicin-
ity since Sunday has wrought i'm
mense damage along the Long IS
lend coast. At Rockaway waves
nearly thirty feet high are lashing
the beach, blowing far into the sand
and washing buildings and boats
out to sea. Many pleasure crafts
have been missing since Sunday and
it is feared that they have been lost
with all on board. George White,
Alfred Kane, Mark Thursby and
Alden Little, of New York, hired
two boats Sunday for aday's fishing.
They have not since been seen, but
one of the boats has been picked
up and there is hardly a doubt but
all four men have been drowned.
At Hollands Station on Rocka-
way Beach, seven boats were let
out on Sunday. They carried six
teen men. None of them have since
been seen and it is thought the
storm carried them out to sea. Al
the water outside the inlet ragel
mountain high, SO that a small
boat could scarcely live a minute il
it, the sixteen men were probabl,
drowned.
A two-masted schooner sailed b

WINsToN-SALEM, n. c., Oct. IA.
New enterprises are still multiply
ing in the Twin City. The latest
is the Wachovia Loan and Trust
Company, which was chartered by
act of the General Assembly of
North Carolina and ratified Feb
ruary Doth, 1891. The incorpora-
tors are such men as H. w. and j.
W. Fries, W. A. Lemby, Jas. A.
Gray, j. G. Buxton and VIM. S.
Ball. The names Of the above
gentlemen signify success. They
are all superb business men and it
is the general belief that the enter
prise will "pan out" handsomely for
the men behind it, as well as a val
liable advertisement for Winston
Salem.
A chewing gum factory is an
other enterprise now assured for
Winston. The company backing it
says it will be in operation by JAM
uary 1st, and that it will require
twenty hands to operate it.
The cutting scrape in Broad Bag
township last Saturday between
Longworth and Thomas, the partic-
ulars of which we're wired the CHRON-
ICLE, came very near proving fa-
| tai affair. Longworth submitted
/ the case before magistrate and
was bound over to court. The phy-
sician says that if the knife had pen
f etrated half an inch deeper it would
> have proven fatal for Thomas.

If there be any country that de-
mands the higher education more
urgently than any other inhabited
by our race, that country is the +
South. The foundations of our CIV
ilization have been torn from under
us by the greatest war in history.
Our social life, our industrial life,
our political life, and our literary
life are undergoing a revolution
greater than the destruction of Troy.
The race problem is just beginning.
The history which our fathers
made is still unrecorded and largely
unknown. Alien pens and hostile
hearts have painted us for the world.
Our industries are slowly changing,
unguided by intelligent foresight
and under the cruel pressure of
necessity. Our people, unable or
unwilling to see tho working Of nat
ural causes, are engaged in fruitless
strife with each other. Surely here
is need of statesmen educated in all
the learning that history, that
science, that philosophy can bestow.
1t is characteristic of the age to
hurry rapidly forward to the ann that
it seeks. Fortunes are made and lost
in a day, and seeing this men forget
that character is the growth of years
and that wisdom and craftsmanship
are not found in bonanzas like sill.

Il STORY OF A DIAMOND.

It Was Obtained by Surgeon from, n
Brazilian by sharp Practice.
A rare diamond, weighing nearly -four
carats, now in New York, has re-
markable history 1t was found, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, in the gold
district of Brazil by native who did
not know its value, but kept it as n
luck" stone. One day while journey
ing to camp of traders with his gold
dust he was bitten by serpent. APP
plying the antidotc known to the peo-
pie of that country, he proceeded on his
way, but had not gone far when he was
again bitten. lie treated himself for
the second wound and continued on his
journey. While s,ooping to drink from
u brook the fangs of a snake were fas-
tened in the bag which contained the
stone. On reaching the camp he was
found to be succumbing rapidly to the
effects of the venom, and when qucs-
toned by the camp surgeon told how
the snake had seized the bag at his
throat
The surgeon was permitted to sec the
stone, and, suspcctinT its real charac-
ter, he told the native that it was cx-
tremely dangerous to have it about him.
as it attracted venomous reptiles, and
advised him to sink it in the ncighbor-
ing brook. The supcrstitious finder Of
the diamond acted upon the suggestion,
and the covctous surgeon, having
watched the proceeding, awaited him
self .; the first opportunity TO fish the
gem from its hiding place. The dia,
mond was purchased recently from the
cutter in Europe by Edwin A. Thrall, OF
New York.
