A FRAGMENT OF HISTORY.
The Fate of Gallant Colonel of an Indiana
Regiment.

Gen. Francis A. Walker, the superin-
tendent of the tenth census. and now the
president of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, was the adjutant- general
of the Second Army Corps in the Army of
the Potomac. In that corps the famous
Fourteenth Indiana was one of the few
Indiana regiments in the Potomac army.
A few years ago General Walker wrote an
extended history of the Second Corps. 1t

that General Walker has been very frugal

GUS, and will entail heavy loss to the
owners or underwriters. As announced
in Yesterdays dispatches valve seat of
the circulating pump broke while repairs
were bsipg made to the pump, allowing
the sea water to rush into the engine
room. which was soon flooded. The DON

and she went down alongside her wharf.
Part of the cargo on board of her will be
saved, though In a much damaged condi-
ton. The ship itself will be raised as soon
a. possible.
The Kaiser wilhelm II arrived at Genoa
on May Is from New York, and was about
ready to eail on her return when the aeci-
dent that led to her sinking occurred. She
was commanded by Captain Stormer.
As soon as 1t was seen that the steamer
was going 70 sink preparations were made
to raise at once. A diver stopped up
the pipS V9lkaining the defective valve
seat. while others battened down the
matches and closed as tightly as possible

HIS SHOES FOUND.

More Evidence Discovered Against
the Suspected Murderer OF Bertha
Manchester.
FALL RIVER, June Sat about 10
O'Clock this morning detail of officers,
searching in the vicinity of Correiro's
boarding house at Bonneville, found the
old pair of shoes worn by him on Memorial
day. They were lying in a gravel pit near
the railroad track, q considerable distance
from the house.
Joseph Lscroix, a shoe dealer, identified
the shoes. They are of a peculiar manu-
facture, known as the Kelly make, and
there have been only Ave pairs of them
bought In this town, Lsoroix being the
only dealer handling this particular style.
Two pairs he sold to Portuguese who are
now in Faysl, one pair to an Englishman,
one to Correiro, and the fifth pair is still
in his shop. The officers state that the
shoes have evidently been soaked In water,
but will not say that there is blood upon
them
