BROKE HER RUOOER.
The American Line Steamer Paris Dis
abled at Sea.

QUEENSTOWN. Feb. 16-The American
line steamer Paris, which sailed from
Southampton for New York on Feb. 10.
was towed into Queenstown harbor this
afternoon in a disabled condition. During
hurricane on Monday last the Paris
broke her rudder, and was compelled TO
put about for Queenstown. The Paris
had 1S9 saloon passengers on board, 156
second-ciass passengers and 250 steerage
passengers. The officers of the Paris say
that at no time was there any serious
danger, and that the passengers took the
matter coolly.
Mr.. E. Z. Bedford of New York, one of
the saloon passengers of the Paris, in an
interview, said:
I'VE had rough weather and rough seas
until the accident occurred, at $50 o'clock
Monday evening. Some time passed be-
fore the passengers noticed that the acci-
dent had occurred. The speed of the ves-
sci had diminished, but We all imagined
that 1t was simply due to the overheating
of some portion of the machinery, and
that the steamer would soon resume her
regular gait. A short time afterwards,
however, Captain Randle announced that
the rudder post had broken in the trunk,
thus rendering the rudder useless. The
captain added that there was no cause for
alarm, aud the passengers were soon reas-
sured, when they were reminded by the
other officers or stewards that the ship
was so thoroughly divided iuto water
tight compartments that she was un-
siukable
"In spite of the accident the Paris con-
tinued heading westward, and we judged,
from remarks dropped here and there, that
the only danger OF serious injury to the
ship was when the vessel stopped, in which
case the rudder swung from port to star
board. striking heavily against the sides
of the ship and threatening to break
through.
THE danger, we were officially in
formed, was passed when the steamer re-
sumed her headwav and proceeded again
to the westward. She continued steaming
west against wind aud sea. until o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon, but the Paris only
made nine knots an hour. and was some
times almost at standstill. The steam
ing ahead to the west, we also gathered
from observation made here and there by
the officers, was persisted in, in order TO
keep her head to the sea-
FINALLY Captain Rand!e calculated
that the coal supply at the rate we were
going would hardly suffice to carry US to
New York, and he determined to put about
and make for Queenstown. The wiDd and
sea being favorable by this time, the yes
sci was put about, and managed to make
fourteen knots an hour, steering wonder
fully Well with her double screws, aud
with the assistance of some kind OF steer
ing gear, which was rugged up by the crew
when the Paris put about all sail WAS
made on her. and the spread of canvas
which she threw to the breeze, though not
very great when compared with the i'm
mense size of the ship, was of great assist
ance to her, and we covered the $40 miles
separating US from land in about sixty
hours"
The American line officials have offered
the passengers of the Paris passage on the
Berlin, which will touch here on Sunday.
All the passengers praise tue conduct of
tue officers of the Paris.

SHOT TO DEATH FOR MURDER.

EUFAULA, /. T., Feb. 16-Joe Dick, an
Indian, who murdered Thomas Gray last
August, was executed at the county court
house, seven miles west Of here, this after
noou The usual form of execution III the
territory, that of shooting, was meted out
to Dick The execution was witnessed by
but few persons.
Dick displayed sang froid to an unusual
degree. He calmly removed his coat at
the command of the executor, placidly per-
mitted his bands to be tied behind him
and his feet to be manacled, and then sat
down at the foot OF II tree to wait the order
to fire. Light Horseman John Hawkins
was the executioner. But two shots from
his Winchester were necessary, and Dick
toppled over dead
In August last Dick, who had quarrelled
with Gray, met him on IA deserted road,
and, without a moments warning, shot
him dead. The body was not found for
several days. and it was badly decomposed.
Dick was quickly captured, found guilty,
and sentenced TO be shot on Sept. 4, but
was reprieved until today.
