United States treasurer at New York,

gulf of Genoa at 1880 o'clock, ina the
morning when she met the OGtigia,
outbound. They only noticed each
other when collision was inevi4ab bic.
The bow of the 0rtigia crashed into
the starboard side, of the MariapS, pen
etrating six yards. and ripping up the
Mariapo like matchwood. The water
rushed in through the hole and the
boat sank in thnee minutes.

broadside toward the Ortigia. Third
Officer RevellO, of the Ortigia, saw the
danger and ordered the engines re-
versed, but the order came too late.
The Ortigia struck the Mariapo, max
ing an enormous gap in her side.
Capt. Ferrara, who was saved, said
he was sleeping in his cabin when he
was awakened by cries and a great
noise. He rushed upon deck and saw
the Ortigia backing off, while his own
ship was sinking. Seeing that all was
lost, he jumped into the sea, where he
was picked up by the Ortigia's boats.
They lost everything. Second Officer

watch on that ship when she was
struck by the Ortigia, was drowned.

WACO, Tex, July 2-Saturday five
dead bodies and four badly wounded
persons-two of whom will die-in the
little town Of Mart was the result of a
dynamite bomb thrown with deadly
intent. For some months past bitter
feeling has existed between the

out of the killing of Phillips
by Arnold and the latter's death
through Phillips son. Early Saturday
morning the town of Mart, 20 miles
distant. was awakened by a loud re-
port like severe explosion. Flames
were soon discovered enveloping the
house occupied by Mrs. Phillips, widow
of the murdered man, and upon arrival
at the scene the building was dis
covered to be a complete wreck,
which was rapidly burned. Dyna-
mite had been thrown in the
house, which was occupied by the
woman, her five children and three
men, five persons being instantly
killed by the explosion or burned to
death. Two of the children escaped
badly injured. One man lost his life
and the other two will die.
