Willamette in dense fog off WILDLY Island,
about 10 miles south of Port Townsend, Wash,
on Saturday afternoon. The Premier left Port
Townsend about 100 on the day of the acct

whistle continuously. When off Point No
Point another whistle sounded close by, and
almost Immediately afterward terrific crash
was heard. The fore cabin of the Premier was
smashed to splnters and the Prov of the Will
amette was found damned right into the bow
Of the Premier. There were a number of men
in the Premier's cabin, one of whom was killed,
together with boy. A steward, who was in
the saloon eating his dinner, was instantly
killed. Several other passengers were damned
in the debris some of them seriously wounded
and all more or less bruised. The Prov Of the
Willamette was deeply Embedded into the
Premier that The passengers scrambled over
broken woodwork and onto the collier. 1t was
soon seen to be impossible to draw off the
Willamette without sinking the Premier, so
Capt Anderson determined to forge ahead,
driving before him the steamer spiked on his
bow. He forced her back on the beach, and
was so tightly wedged that he could not back

The Deacon Case.

Edward Parker Deacon, the American who
shot NJ. Abeille, n Frenchman, whom he found
in his wife's apartments at a hotel in Cannes
France, proposes to prosecute his wife before a
court Of justice in Grasse, on the charge of in.
fidelity for which the penalty under French
law is not more than two years and not less
than three months Imprisonment. His suit
for divorce will be brought in an American
court. Although Mrs. Deacon obtained the
care Of the children during her husbands i'm
prisonment, he has, through the order of the
Seine Tribunal, the control Of the children
since his pardon.
Deacon says that his conduct is not actuated
by desire for vengeance. He wishes merely
to be divorced from his wife and to have his
children. and that whatever proceeding he
takes against her is due solely to this desire.

about One.fourth of acre. and you could
plant four-story house within it and its roof
would not touch the ceiling.

painting of st. George and the Dragon, by
