COLLECTIONS.
Mr.. George A. Rice is the general agent
of The NEWS for the collection OF funds
and distribution of the bread.
ihE 4NGWo VIII bt Bidd w Piuet iNo otp-
scription papers with business houses
anywhere, and would like TO add to its
distributing stations.
As was to have been expected the de-
mand on THE NEWS Bread Fund has
grown greater daily. Today there are
seven distributing stations and one
more is wanted = at Richmond
street. The demand TO have
the distribution divided up has overtaxed
the distributing force at the command
of The NEWS. And as THE NEWS
has added from day to day new stations
so that the bread might be placed most
convenient to the weak and sick to
whom it mainly goes. The stations are
divided into two groups, each group to be
served on alternate days.
Remember, not a cent OF money goes to
pay for distribution-it all goes into
breadl
Remember, not a cent of money is
charged for the services of The NEWS
distributing agent, Mr.. Rice-it all goes
into bread
Remember, not a cent OF money go1s to
the distributing stations. The merchants
give up their places OF business for full
hour every day to distributing bread
and the contributions all go into BREAD.
Remember, The NEWS cheerfully gives
space and the cost of composition to push
the Bread Fund, and every cent contrib
uted goes into Bread.
Remember, contribution OF cents
will provide some one with full pound
loaf of bread fresh and wholesome and
hot the day it is delivered.

Attested by Vessels Which
Experienced Heavy Gales.
MANY BOATS BADLY BATTERED.
The Taormina Narrowly Escaped Co
ing TO the Bottom-The Baby Ele-
plants Brought ON the Bankow Came
Through the storm All Right.

NEW YORK, Feb 5.--Several OF the over
due vessels arrived yesterday and all re-
port heavy gales, high seas, head winds,
and generally rough weather
The German steamer Taormina, which
sailed from Hamburg Jan. lS, reports
having had most tempestuous passage.
She presented remarkable appearance
with only her foremost standing, her
mainmast having been carried away clean
60 the deck during the hurricane of Jan.
80 Off Sable island. Captain Kock states
that his vessel experienced a succession
Of heavy westerly gales daily right up to
Sable island.
On Jan. 80 the wind blew perfect hur-
ricane for several hours, when il died out
TO dead calm for about two hours.
Then the wind came out again, blowing a
hurricane for l6 hours with enormous
heavy cross seas, which broke over the
ship fore and aft.
On the 3lst, ate p. m, a mountainous
sea broke over the ship, which caused the
main boom to break adrift from its
fastenings and swing with great force
against the lee rigging, carrying 1t away.
The mainmast then went by the board,
carrying with it all riggings and gear at
tached and smashing the rail. The YES
sel was then hove to and the wreckage
cleared away. The steerage passengers
were all below at the time, and none OF
the crew were injured.
The steamer sustained much damage,
her capstan being broken, forward hatch
smashed, bridge rail and stanchions car
ried away and one starboard lifeboat
swept overheard. She lost about 100 feet
OF her rail and stanchions, fore and aft.
The cabin skylights were smashed, and
everything movable was smashed from
the decks.
The Banxows Rough Passage.
The British steamer Bankow, from
Yokohoma, etc, reports heavy weather
during part of the passage. She brought
from Singapore three baby elephants,
seven ponies and four cassowaries. Dur
ing heavy gale on Nov. "a, 10 sacred
bullocks and seven ponies, with their
stalls, were washed overheard One cas-
sowary took sick and died. also. The
three elephants are well, and do not seem
to feel the effects of the cold weather.
The steamer Elbe, from Bremen and
Southampton, and the Peninsular, from
Lisbon, came through the storm without
damage.
The ship Susquehanna, hailing from
Bath, Me-, arrived from Liverpool after
passage of moderate weather
