THE STORY RET0LD
One Of the Survivors of the Elbe Disaster AR
ryes in New York

New York, Feb. 10. - On board the
steamer Umbria, which arrived today,

ter Emma, the latter of whom was lost
with the ship; John Vevera of Cleveland,
o.. and Carl Hoffman, of Grand Island,
Neb., whose wife and child were among
the lost. To an Associated Press reporter
Mr.. Hoffman told the following story OF
the wreck. His statement was made in
very disconnected fashion, and was liber-
ally interspersed with threats of proceed
ings against the North German LLOYD
Company and frequent outbursts of tears.

A CROOKED AGENT
THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY
SWINDLED OUT OF $4,000
Paid Money to Settle Claims for Stock That
Never Was kiIed--A Clever
Rascal Exposed.

st. Paul, Mimi, Feb 10.--A Helena
Mont, special to the Pioneer Press says;
I. B. Smith is under arrest at Havre,
charged with defrauding the Great
Northern Railway out of at least $17, 900
while acting as claim agent for stock
killed and personal damages. He is
charged with forgery and embezzlement.
Smith has been with the road about
three years. He left Missouri four years
ago with officers hot on his heels, being
charged with getting money under false
pretenses Two Missouri officers caught
him at Great Falls two years ago, but he
got them arrested for kidnapping and they
left the state to avoid the penitentiary.
He was known as Louis o. Smith in Mis-
souri,. His plan of collecting damages
that never accrued, it is alleged, was by
forging the names of claimants and wit
nesses. Great Northern officials claim to
have sure case against him.

THE TEXAS FEVER LINE
Instructions of the Secretary of Agriculture
to StOckmen

Washington, Feb. 10.--In accordance
with the act of Congress of May 10, 1894,
the Secretary of Agriculture has issued to
Managers and Superintendent of Rail
ways OF the United States stockmen and
others the usual regulations concerning
the transportation to be in force from the
18th day of February to the 9Th day Of
December next.
The principal difference between the
regulations and those of last year lies in
the fact that the Texas fever line, as it is
called, has been extended westward to the
Pacific Coast The line from the Pacific
Coast to its junction with the old line,
which formerly did not extend beyond
Western Texas, is described as running from
the extreme western point of the county
OF Contra Costa eastward along the north
ern boundaries of Contra Costa and San
Joaquin to the western boundaries of
Amador, thence north along the western
boundary OF Amador to the southeastern
corner of Ell Dorado, then southwest to the
boundary line of California, thence south
easterly along the eastern boundary of
California to the western border of Ariz-
ona, thence south along the western
boundary of Arizona to the southeastern
border of the territory and east along the
southern boundaries of Arizona and New
along the Rio Grande to the southwest
corner of the county of Foley, Texas, and
northeasterly along that river to the
southwestern corner of the county of
Pecos, which was the western extreme OF
the old line.
The principal change in the old Texas
fever line affects the territory of Oklaho-
ma a large portion of the northwestern
part of that territory which was formerly
included within the line being now left
outside. There are also some slight
changes in the line in Missouri Tennes-
see and Virginia.
The bureau of animal industry is pre-
pairing the map for 1885, showing the
Texas fever line in its entirety under the
regulations, and it will be printed and
ready for distribution as soon as possible.
The regulations imposed upon the
transportation companies, stockmen and
others in regard to the removal of cattle
from south of this line do not differ from
those in force last year.

CHEATED THE SEA
RESCUE OF THE CREW OF A WATER
LOGGED VESSEL
Arrival of the Cunarder Umbria With Another
Story Of the Fury of the Gale
on the Atlantic.

New York, Feb 10.-The Cunarder
from Liverpool on February 2,via Queens
town, February 8, reached Quarantine this
morning. She brings no word of the La
Gascogne. Shortly after noon yesterday
the monster ocean greyhound passed
Quarantine, her shrouds and part Of her
hulk covered with ice and gistening with
myriads of diamonds. Icicles hung fore
and aft. From the topmost edge of the
bridge to the deck was one mass of gilt
tering ice. 1t was during the only spell
of good weather on the vessels voyage
that she was enabled to rescue fourteen
persons who were adrift in waterlogged,
helpless bark. Speaking of the rescue,
Captain Dutton said today:
1--WE had a fairly good voyage from
Queenstown until we struck the blizzard
outside the Queen Hook yesterday. OF
course, the weather was bad, as we had
heavy seas, but l have had far worse
voyages.
ut was at 1874 am, on February 6,
that we picked up the captain and crew
of the French bark Jean Baptiste. 1t was
about IL O'Clock at night when report was
made to me that White Star freighter,
supposed to be the Civic, had been
old friend of mine and l had signals sent
up to let him know who we were. The
Civic was off our port side. The signals
we sent up were seen by the French bark,
which was over ON our starboard about
five miles away. 1t was not particularly
cold but there was a snowstorm and a
heavy westerly swell.
1.-The distressed crew was displaying
red lights to show the vessel was out of
control, and as we made toward her three
men went up into the mizzen rigging with
torches. The bark was water logged.
When our boat reached the distressed
vessel we found the crew had launched
two boats and were loading all their
effects. Capt. Lebot and his son were the
last to leave the Jean Baptiste. They
came away in our boat. The Jean Bap-
tste belonged at Havre and was from
Halifax to Cork. She was not insured
''At 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon dur
ing the height OF the storm 200 miles east
of Sandy Hook we sighted four masted
schooner at anchor riding very heavily.
the vessel put about and ran down close
to her. We laid to for an hour and half
waiting for some signal, but none came.
We left them riding at anchor in heavy
sea in very unusual place for a schooner
of that character, right in the course of
ocean steamers.
"Then we came on to harbor and ex-
perienced the worst weather of the whole
trip"
The Red Star steamship Rhineland ar
rived in port today. Tons of water had
been shipped over her sides and had
formed into ice on her decks. Captain
Mills reported the most tempestuous voy
age he had ever experienced. The crew
suffered from the intense cold.

FACTS ABOUT THEATER BONNETS
They Are Made at Prices Ranging From FIT,
Cents to $40.


Theater bonnets are growing smaller.
They are also slipping so far back on the
head that there is some doubt in the mind
of the uninitated as to whether they are
falling off or not. These bonnets may cost
so cents or $40. When made at the former
price any odd scrap of lace or velvet about
the house may be used. Time for evolving
such bonnet is limited to twenty min
utes
A home made 50-cent bonnet was seen
at the opera the other evening next to a
$40 creation. The woman five seats back
of them couldn't tell the difference, and
she was a discerning young woman
at that. The $40 bonnet was made of
tiara OF rhinestones, with a black lace
jetted butterfly in front and nothing
more. The 50-cent homemade produc-
ton consisted of tiara of pink rosebuds
(off a last years hat) and fluffy bow of
pink chiffon, for the purchasing of which
the 80 cents was used.
