CUT HER IN TWO.
Steamer Puritan Runs Into the Tug
Richmond.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Aug. 12,-The
steamer Puritan, of Chicago, st. Jo-
seph & Benton Harbor Transportation
company, ran into the tug Richmond
and cut her in two. The Puritan was
coming into the harbor and was run
ming unusually close to the wharf and
at an unusual rate of speed when she
struck the tug which was just leaving
the dock. The captain and his Ct ew
got off before she went down.
Fortunately there were no passen-
gers in the ferry boat at the time, but
the crew of three had a narrow es-
cape from being drowned
The steamer City Of Chicago had just
arrived from Chicago with a large
of passengers and there was
great excitement as the Puritan rush
ed toward them at full speed. In
striking the Richmond the Puritan
took a tangent trick. barely missing
the Chicago. So great was the force
of the crash that the Richmond was
carried on the system of the Puritan a
yards up the river before the
Roadway of the steamer was spent.
STRIKE ON A STEAMER.
London, Aug. IA dispatch to the
Telegraph from Paris says that the
cooks, stewards and attendants of the
Transatlantic steamship line have
gone on strike at Havre. These en-
ployees allege that the cause of the
strike is the poor food supplied to them
while the vessels are in dock and other
grievances. On Saturday 100 men on
board the steamer La Tourain quit
work. Their places were filed by other
men and the vessel sailed for New York
on her schedule time The company
states that the strike will not cause any
delay

WAR SHIPS LOST LAST YEAR.
Seven Vessels Destroyed, Only One OF
Them In Actual War.


Them In Actual War.
The last was not lucky year for
ships of war, says the Philadelphia
Record. Seven war ships were lost
during the twelve months of 1893.
Or these only one was destroyed In
actual war. This was the Javary, an
tron-clad monitor of 5000 tons dis
placement, which carried the flag of
the rebel Admiral Mello, and was
sunk % the 9th of November last
by the guns of the forts OF Rio jan
GIRO. Russia has to deplore the loss
of an armored cruiser, the Witatz,
and of the monitor Russalka. The
first. carrying ten siX-inch guns and
of ,, $50 tons, was run into and sunk
on the 29th of April in the Bay or
Lazareff by the Brazilian school snip
Admiral Barrosa. The Barrosa strand
ed in the same year in the Red Sea,
after its passage through the Suez
Canal. The monitor Russalka made
a trip in company with the tug boat
Tuca from the Reval to Helsengfors
on the 10Th of September and went
down in a storm with all on board,
numbering ITS persons. The records
of marine disasters show that In the
course of $50 years 100 ships OF war
have been lost in the Gulf or FIN
land. France lost last year La Bour-
donnais, a cruiser of the first rank,
in a storm off the coast of Madagas-
car. The ship was abandoned by the
crew. of whom twenty-three were
lost. La Bourdonnais is the fifteenth
ship of war that France has lost
since 1870. The greatest casualty OF
the year was that of the Victoria,
the flagship Of the British Medlter'
ranean fleet, on the coast of Tunls,
on the I'D Of June. Struck Dy tnt
armored ship Camperdown, the VIC
toria went to the bottom with Al
miral Tryon and 36S men. The VIC.
toria had a displacement Of 10, III
tons. A new Victoria of a greater
7 magnitude by 1900 tons is in courS'
of construction. The seventh los
was that of the Alexander Petron
belonging to Hayti. Il was q new

DEATHS ON THE RAIL.
History of 1893 and Analysis Of the Fatal
Accidents.
Ito be continued.)

History of 1898 and Analysis Of the Fatal
Accidents.
Complete returns have been made
of the number of railroad accidents
in the United States in the year 1898
in which human life was sacrificed.
The report shows that the year was
one which will be memorable for the
frequency of disastrous accidents and
the number of passengers killed in
them. In 1893 nineteen more people
were killed by the railroads than in
the previous year. This unfortunate
condition of affairs is generally at
tributed to the Worlds Fair traffic,
but the records of number of roads,
which carried the largest proportions
of passengers to the Fair without in
juring one Nf them, show that the
cause Of the accidents which did
occur must be attributed to the Grim
inal carelessness Of the roads them
selves and the recklessness of their
employees. With proper safeguards
thrown around the traffic and proper
watchfulness on the part Of officials,
the whole Worlds Fair traffic might
have been conducted without injury
to a solitary passenger.
The total number of accidents in
which life was lost or serious personal
injuries were inflicted during the
year was 2,,307, against 1927 in the
previous year. Last year the num-
| Der killed in train accidents was 69l,
as compared with 672 the previous
year. OF those killed 178 were pas
sengers, 424 employees and eighty
nine other persons. The nature of
accidents in which these fatalities
occurred was: 996 collisions, 1872
derailments and ninety-nine other
accidents In the collisions 381 PER
sons lost their lives; in the derail,
ments, 262, and in other accidents,
forty-eight. In addition to these
fatalities >, 584 other persons received
injuries of a serious nature. OF these
1,243 were employees, -,240 passengers
and 101 other persons. The total
number killed and injured during the
year was 3,275. These figures take
slaughtered during the year at grade
crossings. When that is included
the number of fatalities would be al
least doubled.
Eight of the worst accidents OF
the year occurred in two months,
beginning Aug. p, when the Worlds
Fair traffic was its height. These
eight accidents caused the death OF

Hats In the House of Comm ons.

The first thing that strikes the visitor
to the house of commons is that-here
also it is exceptional among the legis-
latures of the world-the house Of COM
mons permits its members to retain
their hats during the sitting. Indeed
it is the rule to wear and the exception
not to wear the-hat. Mr.. Gladstone
never wears his hat--there have been
exceptions, to one of which will allude
presently-nor did Mr.. Smith, the late
respected leader in the house of conf
mons on the Conservative side, nor did
Disraeli. nor does Mr.. Balfour, nor Sir
Charles Russell.
A member, however. can keep his hat
on only when he is in his seat. If he
rises to speak, he of course takes off
his hat. If he rises to leave his seat
and 20 out of the house, he has to take
of, his hat. So long as he remains
standing in any part of the house he has
to keep Off his hat. There a,e some of
the older members who, even when
they lean over their seats to converse
with member on the bench in front of
them, take Off their hats. And it is usual,
too. when member interjects an OBJ
servation across the floor to take it
off. 1t was the invariable custom when
a member was referred to that he
should raise his hat, but this rule is
falling into desuetude. -Harper's Mag
aZine.

Drank ION the Minister.

Some years ago, in Rochester, an Epis-
copal clergyman received call in the
evening from a couple who desired to be
married. He married them and received
for mis- fee what seemed to him a very pc
culiar one. 1t consisted of so cent piece.
q 25 cent piece, dime, nickel and cents.
He said nothing, but wondered great deal.
The whole matter was explained when,
two months afterward, the bride called
upon him and desired him, much to his
s,Irprise, to unmGrry her. He told her
that this was beyond his power and asked
her why she wished to be unmarried.
She said her husband was lazy, worth
less, drinking man, and that when he got
married he had to borrow 81 with which
to pay the clergyman his fee, and that on
the way with her to the minister's house
he stopped ut a saloon to get drink, for
which be paid 6 cents, leaving the dollar
minus 6cents with which to pay the min
lister. Thus taking a drink at the expense
of the minister explained to him tho pc

Stealing and Marking Books.

Men steal library books. Women mark
them with pencil marks, and the libra
rians of the large free libraries deplore the
mutilaticn more than the loss, as many
people regard them with the same antipa-
thy that they do secondhand tooth
brush. and eventually the books have to
be replaced. In every set of rules and reg
ulations the i'll bred borrower is cautioned
against defacing the volume. An extra
rule marked N. B. in fullface letters was
seriously considered, begging the borrower
to refrain f,om using red ink or crayon.
This, however, was voted down by the
board, who wisely decided that the object
of the institution was to educate, and that
under no circumstances should taste for
reading--even with n red pencil in hand
be discouraged. Mutilated books are
set aside for cleaning and repairs, and
those that cannot be erased are destroyed.
The works that suffer most from brackets.
parallels, underscoring and marginal notes
are romances, love stories and poems OF
passion.-Ncw York World.
