Henderson commanded put out quickly
to the rescue. They were successful in
rescuing four of the men aboard. The
rest were drowned.
There were now seventeen men in the
small life boat, with nothing to eat,
nothing to drink and barely room to
stretch their weary limbs. The sun was
broiling hot, and their hunger and thirst
was almost unbearable. Toward even
ing Of the second day one of the crew
discovered a small cask of fish oil slowed
away in the little boat. This was dealt
out to the survivors in small doses, and
they used it to molsten their parched
lips and tongues Most of the men were
partially naked, having had no time to
secure any clothes before leaving their
vessel.
For three days and nights they foated
thus on the bosom of the South Allan
tic, and just as they were about to aban-
don hope, they sighted the ship Dhawar
from London bound to Melbourne. They
succeeded in attracting the attention of
those on board and were soon upon her
decks. They were accorded every atten-
ton and furnished with food, drink and
clothes, and four days later, were put
aboard the Capac boand for this port.

A HUGE BUILDING COLLAPsEs.
Two WOTkmen Have Been Taken Out
Dead and Six Injured.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-An eight story
building in course of construction at the
Northeast corner of West Third street
and South Fifth avenue, fell with a crash
this morning and a number of work
men were carried down in the
ruins.% Two have been taken out dead
and six injured, while at least
eleven are missing and believed to be
still in the ruins. The structure was to
be an office and warehouse building, the
property of John Ireland, real estate
dealer. 1t is supposed that one Of the
supports Of the center of the third floor
gave way and let the upper stories fall,
crushing the lower floors.
The list of dead, injured and missing
are the following.
The dead-Charles Smith, electrician,
lived ut ZIG East 965h street
John Burke, laborer, married. A years
old, Brooklyn
THE INJURED-WilHam Fox, laborer, bro
ken thigh and injured internally.
John G. Lune, laborer
James kenney ,laborer, coutusions of
back.
Cornelius Guider, lsborer, scald wounds
and cOntusions.
William Frank, labOreT, residence nm
known, seriously injured.
- smith, two ribs fractured and con-
tusions.
The missing-John Murphy, laborer, of
Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn.
Christopher O'Rourke laborer, Brooklyn:
Michael O'Hare, laborer, Brooklyn.
Michael Savage, laborer, Brooklyn.
Edward Hanley, laborer, Brooklyn.
John McGuire, Brooklyn.
Michael FLYNN, Brooklyn.
James Farrell, Michael Eahey, Charles
Reilly, Charles +. Peterson.
A number of the men who were en-
gagged on the building, soon after the
accident occurred, left the scene. This
makes it impossible to state just how
many men are actually missing, and the
true number will not be known until
these have reported to their foreman.

President McNeill is full of energy

served endorsement of a fine admins
tration.
Secretary Griffith, who has been re-
elected, is the Oldest officer of the asso

the efforts of the secretary. DR.. Griffith

The fremen's contests at the Atlauta
Exposition are causing much talk. 1t is
proposed that running team be made
up from the best athletes in the different
company teams in the State, to go to
Atlanta and compete for the diamond
belt. Newbern will send its famous
ssSilsby" engine to Atlanta to contest for
the quick steaming prize Of 81, 900. This
engine has made steam in two minutes
thirty seconds, a record that hos not yet
been surpassed. If a running team is
not made up from the State at large, it
is probable that Greensboro and New
bern will send individual teams
Greensboro has seventy firemen here,
with Chief Stone at their head. Eagle
No 9 (GreensboEo) held the hand reel
championship until yesterday, when the
South Sides, from the same town, Wrested
it from them. Greensboro also won the
prize for quick steaming.
The ''Chicoras," President McNelll's

of young fellows. They made a good
run yesterday, but seem to have been
little overtrained.

The disaster occurred shortly after
midnight in latitude 9:30 south, longi-
tude %. 30 west. The prince Oscar which
was bound from Shields, which port she
left May 27th, for Iquique laden with
coal, was going at clipping gait on the
port tack before brisk wind, and with
all canvas set It is estimated by
the crew that she was making about
6 2 knots an hour when suddenly
there loOmed up directly under her
bows, four mast vessel. The mate as
serts that the stranger had no lights
burning, and after she was sighted it
was impossible to alter the course of the
Prince Oscar. The iron hull of the lat
ter struck the unknown full amidships,
knocking her almost Oa her beam end
and crashing through the wood work
until her PROV was more than half bur
led. The stranger went over almost On
her beam ends, as the Prince Oscar
backed away from the rebound.
As the crew of the Prince Oscar stood
peering through the darkness they saw
the stranger partially right herself and
then she rapidly began to sink, They
listened in vain for some signs Of life,
but not a cry for help nor word of
command came from the stricken vessel.
In less than four minutes from the time
she was struck, the stranger heeled
over and plunged stern first into
the depths below. Capt. Henderson, of
the Prince Oscar, who was below in his
berth, rushed on deck just in time to
discover that his ship was also sinking.
The pumps were manned but it was
soon discovered that there was no hope
from that source. Life boats were or,
dered cut adrift and the men were told
to Jump and swim for their lives. They
all went overheard, and with the eXcep-
ton OF two unfortunates, reached the
small boats
Captain Henderson, who was the last
man to leave the ship, went over in his
night garments and swan fully two miles
before he was picked up. Both boats
hovered about the scene of the wreck
until daylight came, in an effort to
rescue the two missing members of
the Prince Oscars crew and any
member of the crew of the stranger
who might have been fortunate
enough to have kept ahoat. They found
no one, however, and nothing to indi
cate the name, home or destination of
their companions in misfortune. Finally
they left the scene and headed they
knew not exactly where. Tw nty-four
hours later, a heavy sea struck the boat
commanded by Mate Lynch and capsiz9d
