Story Of The Saved.
How the Colima Perished in
a Storm.

SAN FRANc1sco. Juue 1.-The Ex-
aminer this morning publishes the fol-
loving from its correspondent at Mazat-
Ian. Mexico:
"MAzArLAs, May 81, via GALVESTON,
May 31.-The steamer San Juan has
arrived here with the twenty.ore pas
sengers picked up on Tuesday from the
wreck of the steamer Colima From
the passengers, your correspondent has
learned some of the particulars of the
dreadful disaster which happened on
Monday at noon, when the Colima was

lashed By the 6erccst gale of years and
bufetted by the angry sea fer about
twenty-four hours.
The steamer was heavily ladeD, and
had large decSload of number. When
the storm struck her she made bad

difficulty in keeping her head to the
sea. The wind increased in fuzzy until
it is said to have been the 6ercest storm
known along this coast in twenty years.
The sea rose rapidly. Waves washed
over the vessel and started the deck
load. As the waves rose the storm in-
creased and the management Of the
steamer became impossible. One Of the
seas, a mighty wave, struck her with
such force that the beams trelnbled

Of the passengers thought this the
cause of the shocks. The passengers
we're pretty badly stunned by being
pitched about. but rushed upon the
deck in panic. Here they met an
other danger The gale tore part Of the
deckload of lumber from its fastenings
aud ~hirled the heavy planks about
with appalling violence. Many we're
struck and manned. At least one pas
senger was killed by having his head
crushed by flying timbers.
The survivors say that the officers Of
the steamer we're brave and active in
this crisis. Captain Taylor stood upon
the bridge with the chief officer, Grif-
6shs. At an order GriAiths ran for
ward to superintend the launching Of
the life boat No. 5, while Second Officer
Lamhorn was in charge of the boat
No. 3. The latter was successfully
launched and filled with passengers.
Then the ship went down and the
Lsngborn boat was capsized All iu
both boats are supposed to have per

CAPT Taylor went down with the
ship, aud as the vessel sank he blew
three blasts of the whistle as a good
bye signal. The engineers and 6remer
went down at their posts. Night CLERK

 The following is the text of the resolu- tion passed by the democratic executive committee of Perry county at it's ses- sion on the 7th:
 Whereas, We view with much regret the political state of affairs now exist ing throughout the state of Alabama, and
 Whereas. We believe that such divis- ion on the part of our white citizens is fraught with much danger to the well fare and prosperity of the state and it's institutions; therefore be it
 Resolved. That the Perry county dem- ocratic executive committee tenders to those citizens of our county who have for various reasons failed or refused to vote for the nominees of our party in the past few years, and who believe in demo- cratic principles and who agree to sup port the nominees of the democratic party, an invitation to vote for all dem ocratic candidates at the primaries or mass meetings, whichever shall be so or- dered by this committee, in future, at the place and time such primaries or mass meetings shall be held; be it further
 Resolved, That the only restrictions placed upon such voters shall be that they will support the democratic nomna- tions resulting from the votes cast by them at such primaries or mass meet ings, and all nominees of the democratic party"

too. pointed, and Secretary Bailey reverted
to the real business that had brought them
to the Commissioners Office. But the Com
missicners were by no means satisfied, and
1t was suggested that his conversation had
nothing to do with the price of gas. One
of the Commissioners, turning to Supt.
Leetch, said, Figure that matter over a
little and give US cheaper gas"
Supt. Leetch suggested that the Com
missioners purchase some stock in the gas
company.
There Is none of it for SALE" said one of
the Commissioners.
Yes, there is. I will sell you some at a
fair price"
Il was suggested that If the price of gas
were lowered there would be more Of 1t
consumed, and consequently the gas COM
psDy would not be the loser in the long rum
Supt. Leetch, however. stated that it
was the history of gas companies that this
was not the case
One of the Commissioners thought if the
price Of gas were lowered the citizens
would Use it for cooking purposes.
This was what the company thought, said
Supt. Leetch, and, with that in view,
had purchased the gas appliance exchange,
and put down the price of gas stoves, in
order that the citizens might use 1t for
cooking purpoces.
Secretary Bailey interjected a remark,
and the unexpected consultation over the
gas question came to an end.

FOUR THOUSAND ARE OUT
Big Strike of Clothing Makers in
Boston.
Almost Every Machine I'm the City
Quict-All the Men Are THOROUGH
ly Organized.

BOSTON, August 21.-The strike of cloth
ing operatives in this city is today in full
operation, and about 1000 people are idle.
Early this morning committees from the
clothing trades council visited the 100 fac
employees of the decision of the council to
strike.
BY o'clock every machine in the city,
of four largest contractors, who have al
quiet. During the morning a dozen con-
tractors notified the officers Of the union
that they were willing to sign the contract
and give bonds for its fulfllment. In every
case the contractors were taken to the
Office of the legal counsel for the organiza-
ton, who drew up bond, which will be
presented to the clothing trades council
and the contractors employees for approval,
and, if found correct, the contract will be
signed and the employees ordered to return
to work.
The organization demands $50 bond for
every machine used in factory as a guar
antee that the contract will be kept.
The officials of the organization are jubi-
liant over the satisfactory outlook for the
success of the strike. Secretary A. ]. Felz
said this morning that all the men are
thoroughly organized and fully IS per cent
of the women. 1t Is his opinion that the
strike will be of short duration. but, If
necessary, he said the organization in New
York, Brooklyn and Newark will come to
the assistance of the strikers here by re-
fusing to make any garments for Boston
firms. The officers at the headquarters in
New York were notified of every move made
today and were prepared to take action at
short notice.
The strikers claim that the contractors
organization is thoroughly demoralized.
