Wreck on the Panhandle.
New YORK, June 27.-Mariners here
abouts incline to the opinion that ter
rible disaster has recently occurred at sea,
somewhere near this port, in which more
than 900 lives have perished. The facts
that lead to this opinion are as follows:
Saturday the steamer Ocean arrived and
reported that on last Thursday morning
the wreck of full rugged ship was
passed in latitude 40 degrees, % minutes
north. longitude 6S degrees 40 minutes
west. The captain of the Ocean made a
careful examination to ascertain the name
of the craft, but owing the wreck being
overturned and partly submerged he could
only make out the words yarmouth, n
s." on the stern.
Had Been in Collision.
The vessel was cut through forward of
the mizzen rigging, evidently done in col
lision. From description of the wreck,
as given by the captain of the Ocean, ship
ping men believe that the vessel is the
British sailing ship Fred B. Taylor, of
Yarmouth, y. S. This vessel was sighted
300 miles out from Sandy Hook on June
12, and should have reached port over a
week ago The steamship Vega, with a
crew of sixty men commanded by Captain
Rosa, sailed from Lisbon on June q for the
Azores and New York. She had 316 pas
sengers when she sailed from Lisbon, and
it is expected that she shipped nearly
twice that many from the ports in the
Azores. The steamer was due here last
Tuesday, but has not arrived.
Where Is the Steamship Vega?
Her agents are very anxious regarding
the vessel, while scores of the friends of
the passengers have been besieging the
barge Office to learn something of the
whereabouts of the steamship and its
human freight. In view of these facts,
therefore, those versed in maritime affairs
are of the opinion that collision has
occurred between the Vega and the Fred B.
Taylor, and that the loss of life has been
appalling. F. E. Hurlburt was the COM
mander of the Taylor. His young wife is

the ninth American Derby by two lengths,
while the Californian colt Zaldivar, ran
second and Corrigan's full brother to

was perfect overhead, the sun shining
brightly and cool breeze blowing, but
the track, owing to the recent transforms,

horses got a good start and Chief Justice
set the pace to the quarter mile, CARLSBAD
being fourth at that point Here the
winner forged to the front.
1t Was "Patho Race.
Around the outside of the track was a
streak that was dryer than the balance,
and on this ground Carlsbad determined to
fight the battle. As the horses went down
the straight Zaldivar challenged Carlsbad
and headed him, but as they passed the
club house Carlsbad again went to the
front and stayed there, the only time he
seemed in danger, being at the head of the
stand in the last rush, when Zaldivar drew
up alongside.

But Carlsbad shook him off and won by
length in 3:04s4, which wasn't bad for

was not the favorite, and those who had
money on him were in luck. Zaldivar
was second and Cicero third, ARA fourth

A Chicago Suburb Inundated and Heavy
Damage Done.
CHICAGO, June 27.-What is known as
the Eighty-seventh street dyke separating
the towas of Dauphin Park and Grand
Crossing gave way Saturday afternoon,
having been cut, it is presumed, by some
one. The breaking of the dyke let the
flood with all its force in upon the subur-
ban village of Dauphin park, submerging
every street and yard to the average
depth of about twenty-four inches In
many places the water was much deeper
and the first floor of nearly every house was
under water Easements everywhere were
filled and the damage not only to streets
and sidewalks but to the foundations of
houses and all household effects that were
not early removed will amount to thou
sands oi dollars.
Mengre Outlet for the Flood.
There WAS a heavy rainfall yesterday
afternoon, and at o'clock the water was
rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The
only outlet for this great mass of water
that is drowning out the homes of the 800
residents is through bitches and culverts
to the lake, which are wholly inadequate
The water comes from large submerged
territory in the region of Mud Lake The
Chicago authorities have been asked for
aid.
In Peril of a Disaster.
At midnight the water was from two
and half to three feet high in the princi-
pal streets of Grand Crossing and
Dauphin Park, and was flowing with a
strong current. A high wind was lashing
the waters against the buildings in great
waves and an enormous amount of dam
age was being done. The situation was
critical, as it was feared that some of the
less substantial structures would be
torn from their foundations, imperiling
the lives of the inmates.
