Genoa, July 23.-The Italian steam
ers Ortega and Mariapp collided on
Isela del Pint at the entrance of the
Gulf Of Genoa to-day. The latter sank
and l4S persons were drowned.
The Mariapp was bound from Naples
to La Plata. There was q c OF
seventeen, and the passengers num-
bered 173. She was calling ell route
to her destination. She was entering
the Gulf of Genoa at 100 this morn
ing when she met the Ortega, out
bound. They only noticed each other
when a collision was inevitable. The
bow of the Ortega crashed into the
starboard side of the Mariapp, pene-
trating six yards and ripping up the
Mariapp like matchwood. The water
rushed in through the mole, and the
Mariapp sank in three minutes.
The majority of the passengers were
asleep at the time of the accident, and
had no time to escape after the alarm
was given. They were engulfed with
the vessel. The Ortega remained on
the spot until 6 o'clock in order to
pick up the survivors. She rescued
fourteen of the crew and twenty-eight
of the passengers of the Mariapp.
Other steamers have been dispatched
to the scene of the disaster and L
now searching for further survivors.
The Ortega's bow was smashed for a
space Of twelve feet along the water
line. There is some comment upon the
fact brought to mind by the disaster
that the Ortega once collided on the
same spot with the French steamer
Uncle Joseph.
At the conclusion of the sitting Of
the chamber at Rome the minister Of
marine announced the news of the dis
aster in the midst of a profound SEN
sation, adding that an officer, a sea-
man, stoker and 40 passengers Of
the Mariapp had persisted.
The Ortega had twenty-five passen-
gers on board. The Mariapp's cap
tain was named Ferrara. The cham
Der has ordered an inquiry into the
disaster.

Minneapolis, July 23.-At the United
States circuit court, held by Judge
Shiras at the Hotel Lafayette, the re-
ceiver's sale Of the Sioux City stock
yard properties was confirmed. AS
will be remembered, the Sioux City
stock yards were, prior to 1893, OPP
Grated by the Union Stock Yard COM
pany, and had acquired different prop
critics and had a bonded Indebtedness
of $925,OO0. 1t was under the control
of the s~o-called railroad syndicate,
which had used the credit of the COM
pany to the amount of asmillion dol
lars. Upon it's failure it was placed
in the hands of a receiver. A new
company has been formed which has
negotiated for the purchase Of the old
property, and with the confirmation
passes into control of the property.
The largest stakeholder in the new
company is the Credit Computation
Company Of Boston, whose attorney
was present. There is a great deal Of
dispute between the present. stockhold-
ers and d. A. Holmes, the attorney for
the receiver, who has placed his fee
too high according to their views. The
matter was left to the court to decide
at the next session.

Severe Storm With a Number of Sc
riOus Results.
Deer Greek, Mimi, July 23.-This
village was visited by q small cyclone
which demolished several buildings
in the town and county east. About
4:3O the people noticed clouds NOV
ing swiftly from the south and north
west. The clouds came together west
Of town and Immediately formed a
funnel. The funnel-shaped cloud
started eastward and the first time it
reached the gro,bld it picked up a
windmill owned by G. N. Benjamin
and smashed it into kindling wood.
A new barn lear by owned by the
same party was also twisted out of
shape. The store of A. D. Baker was
next in it's path and is a total wreck,
literally twisted to pieces. Mr.. Baker
and family were in Fergus Falls, but
the clerks in charge had a narrow es-
cape. They held the doors clased un-
til the front commenced to give way,
when they made a rush for the cyclone
cellar under the store. Just as they
jumped over the railing into the cellar
the building collapsed, one Of them
having his hat pinched off his head
by the cellar door. The second story
was occupied by Frank Lodon. Mrs.
Lodon, three children and sister, We're
in the building when it collapsed. and
it is a miracle how they escaped death.
One child was pinned down by tim
bers, but was taken out badly. but
not seriously, injured. Two ladies
were taken from the lower part of the
ruins, although when the storm struck
they were upstairs. The G. AR. hall
was carried six feet from it's founda-
ton and badly twisted. Half the
chimneys in town were blown Off and
outhouses, small barns and woodsheds
were scattered over the fields.

st. Paul, July %. - Sergeant John
Zirkelbach, of the central police sta
ton, has disappeared most mysterious
~. He was e Friday forenoon for
the last time. Since then nothing has
been heard of him. His friends and
relatives seem at a loss to account for
his strange departure.
At the central station to-day the SER
geant's disappearance was the sole
theme Of conversation. Every man
had a different theory regarding the
affair. A few united in the opinion
that Zirkelbach had made away with
himself. Others thought that lie was
laboring under alteration and would
eventually be found. Still others, who
said the least about the matter, felt
sure that financial troubles had some
thing to do with it. His home was a
happy one, but Of late had been sh:d-
owed by a misfortune to Oracle, the
youngest child. Two years ago. when
she was eight years old. she fell from
a West Seventh street electric car and
sustained injuries that necessitatcd
the amputation Of her left leg above
the knee. The child was his pet, and
her sufferings may be assigned as n
cause for his arrangement, If. his dis
appearance is to be SO explained.

PINS IN HER LEGS.
sELF.TORTURE INFLICTED BY AN
INNATE OF A CONVENT.
A Young Lady Is Admitted to n Hos
pftal in Cincinnati, h Sur
reons Extract Forty-One Needles
From the WOman's Lower Limbs.

Cincinnati, July 23.-A we'll dressed
lady applied at the Cincinnati hospital
for admission Yesterday afternoon.
She presented a letter from the moth
er superior of the convent where the
Young lady had resided. The letter
said the bearer. Miss Nellie Thomas,
had been employed at the onven
some time and was suffering from
SWOLLEN legs and feet. Nothing ex-
cept symptoms referred to in the let
ter was found in the preliminary ex-
animation, but later it was decided
to lance the feet. when it was found
the limbs and feet were embedded
with pins and needles. Forty-one
needles were extracted from her body
and she was not able until to-day to
endure further operations, when the
needles we're extracted, and it is
thought others will be found. The
physicians believe that blood poison
will set in, and the case in any even
may prove hopeless. The girl pro-
tested until after the operations that
she could not tell how her feet and
limbs became embedded with these
needles, but finally she said she had
been at the convent of the Good
Shepherd for several years. She was
an orphan and alone in the world.
During her stay there she had done
wrong. Not once alone. but persistent
ly. She had done that which She
knew was not right, and for every sin
she had committed she had done pen
ance by thrusting a needle into n
of her legs. She explained that each
operation had caused her agonizing
pain and that at times the operations
were almost unbearable. but she felt
she must bear the pain as a recon-
pense for the sin committed. This
mode Of doing penance, she said, had
covered more than two years. Her
wrong doings had been of frequent &C.
currence and she was unable to esti-
mate the number of needles she had
placed in her limbs. She said she and
another girl in the convent had be-
come unnaturally infatuated with each
other. They had acted as lovers and
had together sinned against God and
nature. She said she had confessed
to a priest at the convent who was
greatly shocked at the confession she
made.
The Sisters were greatly surprised
at the statement made by the girl. and
could not understand how such con-
ditions could have existed in the in
stitution without their knowledge.
They made no attempt to deny the
story, but We're in ignorance of such
relations existing between any per-
sons.
Sister Superior Mary Malone stated
that the outcome Of the examination
OF Miss Thomas was a startling reve-
lation to her. She had been aware Of
the condition of the patients legs and
feet for several months but had no
idea Of the cause.
Yesterday her limbs were 81 SWOLLEN
and her condition so serious that the
mother insisted upon her going to the
hospital. AS to that portion of the
story regarding Miss Thomas infatu-
alton and intimacy with another fe-
male in the convent Sister Malone de-
clared she knew nothing of it,, and
was surprised and shocked beyond
measure.
