The Noted Kansan Passes Away at His
Home In Lawrence.
LAWRENCE, Kan, Aug. IL - The
death of j udge Scion o. Thacher took
place at his home in this city at $50
o'clock yesterday morning, surrounded
by his family. He was conscious to the
last and had known during the past
week all that had been going on in his
waking hours He slept much of the
time,and thus the report got out that he
was unconscious. Judge Thacher was
sick little over two weeks. He had
gone to Colorado for his health, but
soon returned On the way home the
train was delayed for thirty-six hours
by high water, and during that time it
was impossible to get anything to eat
This aggravated his case, and since
coming home he sank rapidly.
Judge Thacher was born in Hornells-
vile, n. Y. ia 1880 and in
1856 graduated with high honors from
the Albany law school. Soon after
the Fremont campaign in 1856 he
moved to Kansas, locating in Law
renee, where he took an active part in
the free state contest then raging. He
was temporary presiding officer of the
Wyandotte constitutional convention
in 1889, and in 1864 was the republican
union candidate for governor but was
defeated by Samuel j. Crawford.
Judge Thaeher filed many local
offices, both by appointment and cleo
ton. He served as district judge
from 1859 to 1854, when ne resigned.
At the time of his death he was serv-
ing as state senator from the district
composed of Douglass and jefferson
counties

Lives Lost

Pm ADFIPHIA, Aug. a.-The British
shin Prince Oscar from Liverpool, Capt.
Henderson, collided in mid-ocean on
July Is with an unknown sailing vessel
Roth ships sank in less than ten min
,,tes. Six members of the crew of the
Prince Oscar and all on board the I'M
known vessel were lost The survivors,
seventeen in number, were rescued by
the ship Dhwar. after being confined
in an open boat with neither food nor
water for three DAYS. They were
transferred to the British steamship
Capac. from Pisaqua, and brought to
this port last night.
Capt. Henderson, of the Prince Oscar,
said: ION the night of July Is, when
the collision occurred, i had just turned
IN. leaving the deck in charge of the
chief officer. The wind was southeast
and squally, and there was consider
able sea. We were going along at
possibly six and half knots an hour,
with everything set The mate
saw nothing of the approaching YES
sci until she was almost on top of
us, and he positively asserts that
she was without side lights. She had
every stitch of canvas set and was
jumping through the water at a lively
rate. Consequently when the vessels
came together the crash was terrific
and the damage was sufficient to cause
both to go to the bottom within ten
minutes time Not a sound came
from those on board the unknown
ship, and at the expiration OF five
minutes the tops of her masts were
seen sinking beneath the surface of the
water
sixty Drowned.
SYDNEY. y. :. W, Aug. "A boats
crew of Chinese has been landed at
Forster, about 100 miles north of this
port. The men report that the British
steamer Catterthun, !. 400 tons, which
sailed from Hong Hong on May ~ for
Australian ports. was wrecked Wednes-
day evening. Later in the day some
details of the wreck of the Catterthun
were received here from Forster.
The steamship. IT appears, was
wrecked on the Seal rocks off Cape
Hawk during a gale. The passengers,
who numbered seventy persons, of
whom fifty FIVE were Chinese, were
asleep below when the ship grounded.
A tug which has returned from the
scene of the wreck of the British
steamer Catterthun saved the remain
der of the passengers and crew of the
steamship. and there is now little
doubt that sixty persons drowned. of
whom forty-siX were Chinese.

Bathia, the daughter of Pharaoh, was

whore Pharaoh sat in friendly, informal
council with the maleYOlept BALKAN, and
took her scat by her royal father, placing
the child upon her knee.
Attracted by the glitter Of tho crown,
the infant Moses stretched out his arms
for it, and the great king, taking it from
his own head, placed 1t on the baby brow
of the future lawgiver. The child toyed
with it for a time, and then threw 1t ON
the ground and stamped upon it. The
royal circle was seized with CONSERVATION.
1t was the age Of pOrtents and auguries.
OF what might not such an act be Omi-

as distorted in body, came counsel prompt
and grim.
The act, he said, was, despite the child's
tender age, fraught with significant in
