COLLISION OF STEAMERS.


The Forest Queen Sunk In the North Sci.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-News of a terrible
disaster in the North sea by which a
steamer went to the bottom carrying
with her every soul on board
with one exception was received
in this city at late hour. Only
meager details of the catastrophe have
yet been obtained, but from the dis
patches already at hand it is learned
that the steamers Loughbrow (British)
and Forest Queen came into collision
off Flam borough, a village of York
county, East Riding, on the North sea-
The vessels crashed together with
great force and the Forest Queen was
torn apart by the bow of the Lough-
brow.
The means at hand for ascertaining
the actual loss of life are inadequate
to give an exact statement, but care
full estimate places the number
drowned at flfty-fv
The damages sustained by the Forest
Queen were so extensive that the sea
began to rush through the breaches
made in the hull in a great volume.
The water poured in so rapidly that the
ship at once began to settle, and in a
very short space of time after being
struck plunged to the bottom
So quickly did the Forest Queen
founder that the crew had no chance
to save their lives, and all hands with
the single exception of the captain
went down to Il watery grave. The
dispatches give no information as to
the extent of the damage done to the
oughbrow.

Horrible Fate Of . Young Woman sus.

Horrible Fate OF Young Woman sus-
pocted Of Murder In . European VIII
lsge. ~
L VIENEA, Feb 27.-The details of q
most horrible story have been received
in this city telling of q fiendish act
committed, it is alleged, to avenge an
other terrible crime. A band of
masked men, whose features were
completely concealed, collected dur
ing the night in tho small village of
Mimi, in the province of Bukowina.
They went to the house of handsome
young woman named Mary Lep-
pers, forced their way into q
bedroom occupied by the woman
and bound her securely with cords
They then poured a large quantity
of petroleum over her, thoroughly sat-
urating her clothes with the fluid. A
match was then applied to the oil
soaked garments and in an instant the
unfortunate woman was enveloped in
| flames
The poor victims shr;elks and cries
were blood-curdling, but the terrible
agony suffered by the woman as she
was roasted to death had little effect
in arousing pity from her assail-
ants, who watched the woman's
cremation. The band stood gaz-
ing on this horrible spectacle until the
woman's convulsive struggles had
ceased. Not one of them stirred from
the spot until nothing remained of the
woman's body but a black and distort-
ed mass. The murderers then left the
place as secretly as they had arrived.
The awful affair has caused much
excitement among the people in the
vicinity: The motive assigned for the
outrage is that the woman was sus-
pected of having murdered her hus-
band. and it is thought that those who
took part in the burning of the woman
were friends of the dead man
