TWO BIC DAYS TO-DAY AND FRI
 DAY.

A Big Excursion Over the Air Line To-day
 The Big Convention of Colored Men

Carmel of over 100 people. The Sumner club of Hartford, one of the largest and wealthiest colored leagues of that city, will also have their outing here, and will be met at the Union depot by a large delegation of their brethren of this city.
 The Connecticut Veteran association will also have reunion at the shore, and the friends of these defenders of the flag will probably assemble with them
 to aid in the enjoyments of the shore.
 Several trolley parties have been ar ranged for the evening, starting from
 all points on the line. In addition the
 Governors Foot Guard band will give
 one of their delightful concerts in the
 grove.
 On Friday the Naugatuck division
 sends a large excursion to the Rock,
 and the greatest ball game of the year will be played between the Milfords and Sheltons, at which there will be several interesting surprises, together with a large crowd.
 In the evening a fireworks display will take place in the ball field, to which everyone is admitted free of charge. The Carnival company announce that they have secured Bob Fitzsimmons to umpire the ball game at Savin Rock Friday, which will be between the Meriden and the Milford clubs. Fitz- simmons will also spar three rounds with Tom Forest, his sparring partner the band will play and there will be \ a good time generally.
 In making this announcement the ' managers of the Carnival company wished it stated that they desired nc ! CUHlruNeISy WllH ally pouy, pul dClco

They thought they had | arranged for Corbett's presence at the l Savin Rock grounds, and from the tele. grams in their possession were not certain but that they would have tC entertain both Corbett and Fitzsim. mons, which they stood ready to do. They have no doubt that Corbett's manager thought he was arranging ! for the same parties when he wired ! here.

 1 The Afro-American convention will 1 be held at Savin Rock to-day under the auspices of the State Sumner league of Connecticut. A big crowd is ex | pected, and representatives from al

SHE WAS a HEROINE.
15-Year-Old Girl Gives Up Her Life
for Two Children.

Somewhere under the ice of Peconic

she sacrificed her life to save two chill

little daughters of George Gordon in her
charge. and accompanied by a big dog.
she set out TO cross the ice. They were
half way across when Lillian, who was
slightly in advance, suddenly sank out Of
sight. She had stepped in hole nearly
covered with snow. The children set up
a shrek. as they looked in terror at the
gap in the ice. When the girl came to
the surface she was quite near the rag
ged edge. and she grasped it firmly. The
children started to her assistance. Keep
back. she said, firmly Il think | can

unheeded. keep back. Keep backw
she repeated. but too late. The children
tried 10 grasp her, the ice gave way IN

The elder of the children grasped Lii

Lillian, still holding to the edge of the ice
with one hand. grasped the younger child
with the other. and held her head above
the water. The children were screaming
all the time. and the dog ran barking
around the spot. Lillian gathered herself
for an effort. She pushed the smaller
of the Gordons to the edge of the ice and
attempted TO lift her upon it. The little
one grasped the ice and the dog seized her
by the clothing. Rover tried TO pull the

REINA REGENTE LOST
SPANISH CRUISER WAS SUNK
NEAR GIBRALTAR.
Second Search of the Alfonso XII.
Proves SuCcessful-It Is Believed
the Whole Crew, 400 in Number,
Have Been Lost.
Divers to Recover Bodies.

The Spanish cruiser Rcna Regenta
lies at the bottom of the sea. There is
no longer any doubt as 10 her fate or the
fate of the 120 officers and men she car
rled. Every man on board must have
persisted when the boat went down near
the Straits of Gibraltar for not one has
been found TO tell the story of the awful
disaster. Aside from the little wrecka &c
picked up and which first gave a clew
to her fate nothing remains above the
wnter but about twenty inches Of her
masts
1t is another one of the terrible wrecks
of history in which boat and crew dis
appeared SO completely that it was only
after long search that the scene of the
disaster could be located-another that
! called for the sacrifice of hundreds Of
human lives The men must have had
absolutely no chance for escape. They
must have gone down with the boat al
most before they realized their danger
or some bodies would have been found.
As it is they are all believed TO be in the
wreck, and divers have been sent to the
scene 10 attempt TO recover them.
The ship was found by the AL
fonso MI. which was sent in search
OF her after it was reported that wreck
age from her had been picked up She
was found near Bajo Aeitanos, not far
from the Straits of Gibraltar. The AL
fonso MI. and the Isla dc Luzon started
In search Of her Immediately after she
was reported missing on March Is, and
they have kept up the search continuous
~ since, but without success until now
The Alfonso MI. returned to Cadiz
after locating her, but has started back
again with divers and appliances to at
tempt to recover the bodies of the officers
and crew
The Reina Regente was reported miss
Ing on March Ii. She had just conveyed
from Cadiz to Tangier the returning
Moorish mission to Spain. The cruiser
left Tangier on March 10 for Cadiz, and
her whereabouts were not definitely as
certained until to-day. Pieces of one of
her boats and semaphore flags were re-
ported to have been picked up along the
shore near Ccuta and Tarifa. She car
ried q crew of 42O officers and men. and
all hands are believed to have persisted.
The Reina Ecgente, about two years
ago. came to New York as one of the
Spanish squadron which escorted across
the Atlantic the Columbus caravels. The
Infanta Isabel, now reported TO have
sunk an American schooner off the coast
of Cuba, and the Nueva Espana were
the other ships Of the Spanish squadron.
The Reina Regente was launched in 1887
and was one of three secOndclass deck
protected cruisers of the same build, her
sister ships being the Alfonso XII. and
Lepanto, all of $500 tons, 1900 horse
