A DREADFUL CALAMITY
Collision Between Two English Battle.
Ships.
ONE SANK WITHIN A FEW MINUTES
Nearly Five Hundred Lives Lost in
the Disaster---FIagship Victoria
Went Down.

LONDON, June ga frightful calam-
ity has befallen the British battle-ship
Victoria, flagship of the Mediterranean
squadron, and hundreds of lives have
been lost. The Victoria which flew the
flag of Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon,
K. @. B., was run into off Tripoli, Syria,
by the British battle-ship Camperdown,
also belonging to the Mediterranean
squadron, and under the command of
Captain Charles Johnstone. The Vic
toria had an enormous hole made in her
side. through which the water poured
in torrents. The immense hull of the
Victoria at once began to settle, and
before those on board could cast loose
their small boats she went to the bot
tom, carrying down with her nearly all
on board. Some of the officers and
crew managed to get out of the suction
caused by the sinking vessel and were
rescued. Among those lost are Vice
Admiral Tryon., The first reports of the
disaster stated that about 200 men had
been drowned, but later dispatches
show the loss of life is far greater, not
less than 400, officers and crew of the
Victoria having gone down with the
ship. The Victoria was twin-screw
battle-ship of 10,47O tons and 1900
horsepower. She mounted Is guns.
The Camperdown is also a first-class
twin-screw battle-ship, 10000 tons and
IL 800 horsepower, and carries 10 guns
Admiral Sir George Tryon was COM
-mander-in-chief of the Mediterranean
station.
Rear-Admiral Albert II. Markham, of
the Trafalgar, the flagship of the rear
admiral in the Mediterranean, has
telegraphed the admiralty from Tripoli,
Syria, under date of today, as follows:
ST regret to report that while maneu-
vering off Tripoli this afternoon the Vic
toria and Camperdown collided. The
Victoria sank in 15 minutes in 1S
fathoms of water. She lies bottom up
permost. The Camperdown's ram
struck the Victoria forward of the tur-
ret on the starboard side. Twenty -one
officers were drowned. Two hundred
and fifty-five men were saved. The in
jury to the Camperdown is not yet fully
ascertained, but is serious, and will
necessitate her going to the dock for re-
pairs. propose to send the survivors
to Malta
The Victoria carried 900, officers and
men.

on returns to the department of agricul-
ture, makes the acreage of wheat as COM
pared with that of last year 87.S per
cent, being reduction of 1872 points.
The states in which the principal de-
crease has occurred are Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas and California. The reduction
of the area in the states of Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Illinois was caused in the main
by the long continued drought and ex-
tremely cold winter. A vast amount of
the acreage sown has been plowed up
and put to other crops. The decrease
from the acreage of 1892 is, in the state
of Illinois "a, in Missouri 16, and in
Kansas SO points.
The percentage for the country of
spring wheat area is "a. The percentages
of the principal spring wheat states are
Minnesota, 90; Nebraska, 100; South
Dakota, 95; North Dakota, 96.
The condition of winter wheat has i'm
proved but slightly since the last report,
being 1875 against 1873 for the month of
May, the percentages of the principal
states being, respectively, Ohio, go;
Michigan, 72; Indiana, 81; Illinois, 67 !;

A HUMAN VAMPIRE
Public Sentiment Against Thomas
Henderson Boyd Of Seattle,
WHO WAS MURDERED BY HIS WIFE
Testimony Developes That He Tried
to Force Her Into Compromising
Situations for BlackmaiI,
Purposes.

SEATTLE, June 23.-[Special. ]-Great
interest is exhibited here at present in the
trial of Mrs. Boyd, nee Ursula Junietta
Unfug, owing to the fact that she has
deliberately acknowledged the killing of
Thomas Henderson Boyd, her husband,
who was editor of an Olympia newspa per.
The court room of the criminal depart
ment is crowded. and the judge has been
obliged to order the court room doors
closed after the court room is filled to
avoid the jam which would follow in case
such an order was not made. Startling
revelations have been made by letters
written from Thomas Henderson Boyd
to Mrs. Boyd, in which he has laid deep
schemes for blackmailing great many
prominent men of the state of Washing
ton. Prominent among these parties
are bankers and business men of Seattle,
Tacoma, Olympia and Spokane. The
general plan was to have his wife, who,
was formally of unchaste character, but
who has been, since her marriage, true
to her marriage vows, go to these differ
ent men and entice them into COM
promising positions with her, and then
extorting money from them in order to
save their reputation. This he urged
with such persistency and she resisting
it with the same earnestness, caused
them both to become desperate, and one
night, when Mr.. Boyd endeavored to.
force his wife into one of these inhuman
acts, she became desperate with anger,
and shot him four times, killing him in
stantly. The sympathy of the people
was somewhat against. her until this.
revelation, and it has been established
to such 3 degree of certainty that an.
immediate acquittal is almost certain.
The revelations which seem to be well
proven establish the fact that Thomas
Henderson Boyd was one of the most i'm
human, immoral vampires whose life has
ever been Investigated.
SEATTLE, June 23.-Mrs. Boyd was
cleared at 80 this morning by the jury.
Five hundred persons waited for the
verdict. 1t is said the defendant has
promised to become missionary among
fallen women.

SHE DEFIED THE POLICE.
Trying to Convert tho Unbelievers
of Chicago.

CHICAGO, June ga granddaughter
of the famous Lady Watson, of London,
was arraigned at the Desplaines station
court yesterday for violating the ordi-
nance prohibiting the gathering of street
crowds. She is Mrs. Margaret J. Rice.
and all over Canada and in some cities of
the United States she is more familiarly
referred to as the wife of the cowboy
preacher" Mrs. Rice's offense consisted
in obstructing the corner of Pearl and
Madison streets by addressing crowd
which was attracted there by the fervor
of her preaching. She is very young,
not being yet Is years old, and both she
and her husband are among the most re-
markable people the police have had
dealings with in a long time. Mrs. Rice
is the daughter of the late Hon. F. w.
Shields, of Toronto. The cowboy
preacher has been arrested 20 or so times
for obstructing the streets, and his wife
has likewise been prisoner in different
cities for the same reason, and it has
been their practice to pay no fine on such
occasions. Rice says the present arrest
is the result of spite. In court Mrs.
Rice's dress was of fashionable cut, and
nobby sailor hat, with stand-up
collar and uecktie, completed her attire.
On her fingers she wore several diamond
rings. 'sNot guilty." was her answer.
a small fine was imposed, but the justice
remitted the fine and Mrs. Rice was
allowed to go. Her friends have secured
Luther Latin Mills to push criminal
case against the police for false arrest.
Mrs. Rice preached from the same
corner, and the police were defied.

Arctic blasts, Lieutenant Peary has de-
cided to construct a stone wall five feet

house. Corrugated iron plates and hot
bed sashes will be placed alternately
from the wall to the roof of the house all

citing Time With Bull.
Two young ladies of Sylvania recent
ly had novel experience while en-
deavoring to drive refractory calf out of
the yard, says the Atlanta Constitution.
Near the same yard there was an
angry bull, but the young ladies didn't
know that he was angry until they had
started to drive the calf out.
When the girls discovered that he
was really mad they we've on top of the
yard fence, about thirty feet distant
!. from each other, and both yelling tor
help. The bull seemed to take in the
Situation-actually to catch on to the
racket-fOr he commenced paving the
earth in mischievous kind of wav,
and then he would run around in a
playful manner near where they sat
astrlde the fence.
Things went on thus for about ten
minutes, when 1t be gan to grow yerytire-
some standing up on the top plank and
holding on with both hands. The calf
had its back turned, ami one of the girls
said she thought she could make it to
the steps before the young animal would
see her. She slid gently down and then
made break for the house, but for
some unknown reason at the same in
slant the bull turned himself about and
started on a full run for the same
point.
She saw him coming and her heart
sank. She knew size could not make
the house, and she saw she could not
get back to the fence before the devour-
ing beast would run upon her. Not
knowing which horn of the dilemma to
take she resolved, with a supernatural
courage born of the moment, to grasp
them both. And so she ran toward him
as lie came, and before he had time to
retreat she had caught him with an iron
grasp by both his horns and was yelling
for her companion to run and grab him
by the tail.
