denly an explosion took place and Capt.
Hoffman rushed on deck mediately
and found the ship mass of flames in
the hold fore and aft. All hands were
called to quarters The fire hose was
got ready and an attempt was made to
subdue the flames, but it was soon ap-
parent that the ship was doomed. The
best of discipline prevailed among the
crew. The boats were ordered to be
lowered as we'll as the life raft. Five
boats were lowered in charge of the
officers, purser and chief engineer.

from the falls, got entangled in some Of
the gear and was swampedy alongside

rife that the hatchway was blown clean
into the water. Some of the colored
stevedores were blown overheard with
it. The steamboat kept going ahead
until 8 p. NJ, making some fifteen
miles, when the tiremen were COM
PEELED to abandon the tire-room
and the steamer was beached on
Juricka Shoal, thirteen miles from
Havana. The vessel is a total loss.
Capt. Hoffman and six others took to
the lifeboats and were all washed off by
the heavy sea but managed to get back
again excepting William Foster, an OIL
er, who was drowned.
Capt. Hoffman states that the best of
discipline prevailed after the explosion,
every man obeyed orders and went to
his post in the coolest possibl manner.
Thele was no rush to get into the life
boats. The following are the names of
the crew who were lost: Purser B. W.
Bowen, William Foster, oiler; George
Smith and Louis Bloch, walters and
Thomas Linden, quartermaster. M.

COLLISIONS IN A FOG.
A Number of Railway Accidents Occur In CHI
CagO and Vicinity

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-In the dense
fog which settled over the city to-day,
several railway accidents occurred, al
though none resulted seriously. On
the South Side Elevated an engine
drawing a heavily loaded train
crashed into the rear end of a
crowded coach. The rear plat
form was crowded with passengers,
all of whom saw the danger in time to
jump to convenient platform, escap-
ing injury. The rear end of the coach
was splintered, but no one was injured:
The passengers of both trains rushed
for the doors, panic-strcken, and one
or two women tainted, but the railway
employees succeeded in preventing &C
cidents in the crush.
On the Chicago & Northwestern
road at Galena a passenger train
crashed into the rear of a suburban
train, tearing off the rear platform and
splintering the end of the coach. Pas
sengers in both trains were thrown
from their seats, but none were serious
ly hurt.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy re-
ported two collisions of freight trains,
but no one was injured and little dam
ace WAS done
