The first shipment of carload of

last week by Il. A. Bayliss and con-
signed to the Ratliff Grocery Company

other shipments, as there is surplus OF
corn in the vicinity Of West. Farmers
are giving more attention to raising
corn than ever before, and the prospects
are that there will be several carloads
shipped from the growing crop, as it is
indeed promising, and the acreage is in
creased over previous years. Other
crops are also very promising

AS TOLD BY HE PILOT.
Thero Was No Confusion and tho Dis
Chilling Wns Excellent.

Thoro Was No Confusion and tho Dis
cIpline Was Excellent.
"When came on deck with some pass
engers Captain Vongoessel was in charge.
The first order given was to swing the
boats out. but not lower them until fur
Their orders. The next order was for
everybody to come on deck and for the
crew to go to their stations. Then fol-
lowed an order for the women and chill
dred TO go TO the starboard boats, in which
il was proposed TO save them. The first
of these orders were given by Captain
Vongoessel andrepeated by Chief Officer
Thelms.
"rhe captain was on the bridge, and l
believe he went down with the ship. The
next order which ] heard given was to
lower the boats. There wasno confusion
whatever. nor was there panic. Every
order was executed with the greatest
calmness and promptitude.
AT the time of the collision there was a
high sea running, and q strong wind was
blowing from the east southeast. 1t was
bitterly cold. The lanyards and the
boats grips and falls we're frozen, and the
lanyards supporting the falls had to be
propped in order to save time. But that
would have been in any case in the event
oil n collision. he Eide went down about
two minutes after we left her side"
The explanation given by the surviving
officers as to the proportion of the crew
saved TO the number of passengers saved
is that the following orders were given by
the officers of the Elbe: The children
were to be saved first, with the women,
and they were to be placed in the boats on
the starboard side, where the women and
children were told TO gather, but almost
Immediately after these orders had been
obeyed the Elbe listed heavily to star
board and the seas swept up TO the prom
enade deck, SO the starboard boats were
rendered useless. The boat which brought
the survivors away from the Elbe was one
of the port boats, and was the last TO
leave the vessel.
Acting upon the orders of Captain Won
Gosser, Third Officer Stollberg AMI Pay
master Wefer who were in charge of this
boat, to ok their seats inside of her, and
then when the water was creeping over
the deck a rush was made for tho boat =,
and anybody who could get into it did so.
Pilot Greenham assisted the crew of the
Elbe in firing rockets. 1t is understood
that Greenham had been heard to express
the opinion that the steamer which COL
lided with the Elbe was distinctly at fault,
as sho attempted to cross the bow of the
Elbe.

not affect the merits OF the bill at all. 1t
was simply a question of whether the
manner of procedure were legal or not.
There we're probably 10 similar bills
in regard to other institutions to come up,
and the house should be advised as to the
legality of the proceedings before passing
them. Unless such measures were passed
upon by the judiciary committee before
presentation there was no use of having a
judiciary committee. Cooper. Hershey
and KnIppcnberg spoke against Booths
amendment, as they did not want the
measure delayed and thought an agree
ment on il by the judiciary committee i'm
possible. Paschal held the same views
and Shober made a brief speech to tho
same effect. Won Tobel, Bennett and AL
derson favored the reference and Booths
motion was finally adopted. The house
then adjourned.

AWFUL.
Tho Work of Rescue Was Carried on
With Great Difficulty.


with Great DIficulty.
The following statement of the disaster
was officially given this afternoon to the
associated press correspondent by Ger
man Vice Consul Herr Bradber after
sitting all tho interviews with the surviv-
ors and cross-qucstioniug the officers and
crew, and may DO classed as the consen-
sus of the officers opinions:
"The collision occurred 40 miles from
tho Merschelling lightship. Though both
the Elbe and the colliding steamer were
going full steam ahead, the conclusion
was very slight. Immediately after the
collision the Elbe began to settle down,
stern first, her bow mounting high in the
air and rendering il impossible to reach
some of the boats. As everybody crowded
upon tho deck Immediately after the
shock and in a state of great alarm, II
was impossible for the orders of the cap
tain, who was standing on the bridge, that
the women and children should be saved
first, TO DO obeyed. a rush was made for
tho boats that were accessible.
"The first boat TO reach the water was
Immediately swamped, and tho passen-
gers who had crowded into il were
drowned. The second boat launched was
lost sight of in a high sea, which was run
ming, but it is feared that she caps ized.
Into the third boat, at the last moment,
when the water was up TO the promenade
deck, the vessel sinking under their feet
and two minutes before she disappeared,
there crowded 10 men, the women and
children having rushed 20 the other side.
owing, IL is said, to the command that
| they should get into the boats there. This
| third boat pulled away from the ship, and
in so doing, shortly afterwards passed a
! lady passenger, Miss Anna Buescher,
who clung TO the gunwalc. or side of the
| life boat. Some time elapsed before she
/ could be pulled into the boat. The - sur.
viyors Dir fled about until 1880 a. m,
heavy seas repeatedly dashing over tho
small craft, which was IN constant danger
| o! being swamncd, AMI drcnching its oc-
I cupauts, who had not morsel of food.
Miss Buescher lay IN the bottom OF the
I boat half-droWncd and scmrconsciouS.

all around, bat not one approached.

Surviving Sailors Laugh and Joke While
They Mend Their Clothing.
Tho rescued seamen in the Sailors
home we're stitching up their tattered
clothing to-day, laughing and joking the
while. They said they were all below
asleep when the collision took place. 1t
was impossible to reach the forward boat,
as the bow of the steamer had risen high
out of the water. Tho seamen then went
aft and escaped in the manner already
fully described. They steadily denied
that there had been any panic on the Elbe
after the collision, but the excited manner
in which they replied to questions on this
point showed that great confusion had
prevailed.
So far as ascertained ga passengers
and crow of the Elbe are missing.
