Disasters at Sea, Involving Great Loss
of Life.


The British steamer Catterthun was
wrecked recently on the Seal Rocks near
Sidney, Australia. There was a severe
shock when the steamer hit the rocks, but
the captain Gained the fears of the pas
sengers. The boat had proceeded but a
short distance when it was found she had
a large hole in the bottom The fires were
soon out and the vessel helpless. The
seas swept over her and only one boat was
successfully lowered. Only four Euro
peans were rescued, the number of the
crew and passengers drowned being n.
The story of the sinking of two vessels
in collision, and the probable loss of
about 40 lives was told Thursday by Cap
tain Henderson, late of the British ship
Prince Oscar, who, with sixteen of his
crew, arrived at Philadelphia, on the Brit
ish steamer Capac, from Chilean and
Peruvian ports. Four of the crew of the
Prince Oscar went down on the ship, and
two others were drowned by the upsetting
of lifeboat in the heavy seas. The name
of the ship with which the Prince Oscar
was in collision is not known to Captain
Henderson, and her entire crew is sup
posed to have gone to the bottom with the
vessel. Captain Henderson says the ship
had four masts and was fulled rugged, and
he thinks from her size that the crew
numbered 80 to 40.

4 MiIe-a-Mimutc Bicycle.

Lewis b. White of New York is the in
ventor of a bicycle which, he claims, is a
great improvement on the present style of
machines. With it the speed of an ordi-
nary wheel will be doubled, while the
amount of energy expended remains the
same. With another wheel, on the same
plan, but built for racing, he thinks a
speedy rider can travel a mile in less than
one minute. The motive power of the new
wheel is compressed air (Which the rider
congresses as he runs) and a quart of cold
water.
In general appearance the new bicycle
differs but little from the ordinary roadster
used by wheelmen at present. There is
large case, forming the centre of the driv-
ing Wheel and a small compressed air
apartment directly in front Of it. just be-
hind the steering wheel is where the power
is formed by two pistons working from the
ordinary pedals with eccentric cranks in
stead of the sprocket chains used at pres
ent. These pistons, by clever arrange
ment of pipes instead of the ordinary rods
of the present wheel, force water, greatly
compressed, around over the top of the ma
chine, through a compressed air apartment
and against a motor wheel enclosed in the
case in the rear wheel. This water then
falls into the bottom of the case, and re-
turns to the pumps again, thus being used
over and over again, as it is impossible for
the water to escape. Another strong feature
of the new bicycle, the inventor claims, is
the fact that power in the shape of com
pressed air can be stored to help ascend
hills.
Mr.. White states that in even the stan
dard makes of wheels now only 33 per cent
of the riders energy is utilized, while on
his machine copper cent will be converted
into power Only the air resistance keeps
a person from easily TRIPPING the ordinary
speed. A model which will demonstrate
his claims is now in course of construction

Package of Bonds stolen.

The town of Newton, n H., has new
developments in the famous forged bond
case. The $4,000 worth of ten-year bonds
paid by the town in 1885 and placed in the
town safe by Selectman Almon +. Drake,
have been stolen. One of the present Sc
lectmen called upon Mr.. Drake and asked
him if he knew where the cancelled bonds
were. Thinking he could at once place
his hands upon them, he went to the town
office Friday and found that they were miss
ing. The town will probably be called to
produce $4,000 worth of cancelled bonds
at the October term of court in the suit
brought by Mr.. johnson of Haverhll to
recover on No. S $500 bond alleged to be
forged.

McCombs at Summitville, y. Y. The
Italians then advanced upon the farmer.
He retreated to his house, but returned

him when he fired. The shots took effect,
but the Italians managed to run away,
driving the bears before them. The Ital-
ians reached Summitville village. One
who had gaping wound in the abdomen
died in a short time. A second man is
wounded in the abdomen and legs, and the
third shot in the arms, chest and face.

Pump Works in Warren, Mass, were de
stroyed by fire Friday night. The loss is
placed at S17j, 900; fully covered by in
surance. There will also be heavy loss,
resulting from delay of business. 1t is

burned consist of the scratch house, a new

sand house. OF the estimated loss So, 900
is for patterns. The fire throws out of

Women know the influence of beauty
on men; men rarely admire a beautiful
invalid, but they do admire woman in
whom is blended good features and per-
feet health.
There is no secret about a woman's
beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes
to herself, to removing from her system
all poisonous impurities, and keeping at
bay those fearful female diseases.
The flashing eye, elastic step. and bril-
liant complexion are never companions
of womb trouble; only the distressed
expression and aches, pains, blues, faint
ness, dizziness, bearing-down feeling,
ETC., keep it company.
Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound removes female troubles promptly,
and cleanses, invigorates, and conse-
quently beauties, the form of woman.
Women, the world over, pay homage to
1t, and praise Its diseoverer. Your drug
gist sells more Of 1t than all other female
medicines.

Having been plundered by the sand-bag-
ging combine in the city council, squeezed
by the gas trust, robbed by city officials
and plucked by corporations, Chicago is
now penniless. She will probably try to
borrow money from New York. The city
proposes to issue scrip based on the tax
levy of 1898. The first will be "feeler''
of 100000, and it is expected to sell at
par. This scrip carries per cent interest,
and if the 5000 goes all right 81 600,
600 more will be issued. These liens are
called warrants" and under law to sus-
tain credit the city can issue up to 50, 600,
600.

state prison yard at Weathersfeld, Friday
morning by climbing a high fence. They
broke the lock to the stables and drove
away with a span of black horses and a
surrey, the whole team being valued at
5000. A big mastff, the terror OF Wealth
erslield, lay in a stall near the horses, but
gave no alarm. Arthur Perkins, alias

he tried to dispose of the team. He for
merly was prisoner at Weathersfeld, and

VIII Cost the Railroads $50 900, 900.

VIII NObN Nne hhtlEOhub 1O33OOOfOOOs
The railroad trunk lines are quietly pre-
pairing to oppose the efforts on foot to OBJ
tain an extension of time within which all
freight cars are required to be equipped
with air-brakes and automatic couplers
According to law these improvements must
be made by Jan. 1, 1898, on all lines in the
United States.
There are at present 100000 freight cars
of all kinds in service in the United States
and 1000 locomotives. About 60 per
cent of the cars have not the required APP
planes and 60 per cent of the locomotives
are without the driver brakes. The coupler
costs $40 and the air brake $40 for equip
ping each car. The driver brake for the
locomotive costs $500. This means an eX-
penditure of S15, 100000 for the couplers,
S33, 000,0 COO for the air brakes and S4,5OO,-
600 for the locomotive driver brakes. In
all, the introduction of the required appli-
ances will cost the railroad companies of
this country about S52, 100000 within the
next two years and half.
