A Vessel Loses Her Reckoning aud 10
Dashed to Pieces on the Rocks.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 20-The bark
Tamerlane, which was wrecked off the
rocks of Puma at 1880 o'clock on the
morning of February 2, cleared from
San Francisco january 80. with crew
Of thirty-six. The voyage down was
satisfactory, but it appears that the
vessel lost her reckoning, the officers
thinking her at the time of the wreck
to be near Kealakelxua bay, almost
2 deg. to the westward. No breakers
were sighted by the watch on deck
when the vessel struck, and the sudden
shock threw the crew into great con-
fusion.
Only two small boats were available
and one of them, when lowered, hoated
away before it secured an occupant
Capt. Rowland, the first mate of the
boat, the carpenter and the cook and
two Others entered the second boat,
but the ship was rolling heavily and
she was stoven in and the waves rolled
ever and the occupants were washed
away. Those of the crew who re-
manned on the barlEsSyere picked OF by
the waves, one by one, until the vessel
broke up Eighteen men. including
the third officer, Pardes, managed ia
reach the shore with the aid of q plank.
The others were all drowned.

THE BLAINE DIVORCE.

The Case of Young Mrs. Blaine For Dl-
vOrce Comes to Trial at DeadwoOd-Her
Case Stated
DEADwooD, S. D., Feb 20.-At last
the Blaine divorce case has come to
trial and all the testimony is in.
Yesterday morning Judge Palmer.
the plaintiffs attorney, read the COM
plant and the defendants answers and
then began reading the dispositions.
The dispositions of DR. Fuller and
DR.. Wynkoop after confirming that of
Gen. Mcmahon as to the amity in which
the young couple had apparently passed
the first few months of their married
life, related chiefly to the plaintiffs
health after her unhappiness began.
In the 4 sternoon Mrs. Blaine was on
the stand. She recited the story of
her marriage, which was hastened be-
cause her husband did not want her
to go on the stage. She spoke of the
happy lirst year and then detailed the
visit of the young couple to Maine,
where her husband was kept away
from her by his mother; told how she
had been foiled in attempts to become
reconciled to him; gave the details Of
her return to New York and subsequent
sickness and suffering in that city. She
had come to South Dakota for home
and wanted especially to secure the
custody of her child, which she was
able to support by her pen.
This closed the testimony, and after
the submission of some law points the
case will be closed, A decision is not
expected for some days.

Dynamite Placed on the Track and Ex-
plOdes Under the Engine of 3 California
Express Train Fortunately But Little
Injury Done.
BAKERFIELD, Cal, Feb. 2O.-As the
south bound passenger train on the
Southern Pacific railroad was nearing
Paso last night the engineer saw
queer looking small object near the
right hand rail. He paid little atten-
ton to it, but when the drive wheels
of the locomotive passed over the object
there was a terrific explosion and the
cab was enveloped in a sheet of fame.
The insignificant object proved to be a
heavy charge of dangerous explosive.
Fortunately the engine was. a heavy
one and held to the rails while the mo-
ton of the train carried it quickly over
the spot.
When the train slowed down sufi.
ciently to permit the engineer to get
down on the steps he found the brake
beams on the engine and express caa
trucks on fire. The train was stopped
and the flames extinguished.

An Americnn Stays 9 Frenchman - ,
Fashlonable watering Place
CANNES, Feb. IS. The most intense
excitement was caused in the large
American colony here yesterday by the
announcement that one Of the most
prominent visitors at the place. Mr..
Edward Parker Deacon, a native Of the
United States, had shot and killed a
Frenchman named Abeille. All sorts
Of stories were in circulation in regard
to the affair, but the matter finally re-
solved itself into q case OF honor-a a
case where 3 man had avenged TO the
death the disgrace of his family
brought upon him and his children by
his wife and her lover.
sMr. Deacon and his wife had been so
iourning FOR some little time past at
the Hotel Splendide, one OF the fash
ionable hotels Of this fashionable wa
tering-place. With them were their
four children. There was nothing in
the actions of Mr. Deacon to indicate
that he had any suspicion that his wife
was unfaithful to him; on the contrary,
they appeared to be as devoted to each
other as Is usual in the case of people
who have been married for years.
It has transpire1, however since the
shooting, that Mr.. Deacon suspected
that his wife was unduly intimate with
NJ. Abeille, who was connected with
the French diplomatic service, aud he
kept close watch on her actions.
About midnight last night Mr.. Deacon
discovered M. Abeille in his wife's room
and rushing upon them uuawares, fired
three shots at the despoiler, two Of
which took effect, csusing death in a
few hours Deacon was arrested but
the general belief seems to be that he
did the proper thing.
