Another Ocean Horror.

The loss OF Jag lives by collision Of
the steamers Ortigia and Maria p,
off Isalis Point, at the entrance OF the
Gulf OF Genoa, Sunday, furnishes
another paragraph to the chapter Of
horrors that had already grown to
such an unprecedented length within
the present epoch. The passengers
on the doomed vessel numbered l73
and the crew IL. She was entering
the harbor at an early hour. before
daylight. when she ran into the Or
tigia, outward bound. The bow OF
the latter crushed in the starboard
side of the Maria p, through which
the water rushed in such tremendous
volume that she sank in three minutes.
Most OF the passengers we're asleep,
and had not time to escape after the
alarm was given, and were engulied
with the vessel. The Ortigia re-
NAMED at the scene of disaster several
hours, and succeeded in rescuing ii of
the crew and % passengers. The
Ortigia's bow was smashed for twelve
feet along the water-line. Some COM
ment has been caused by the fact that
the same steamer once collided with q
French vessel on the same spot, and
an investigation has been ordered by
the Italian government.

AND STILL 1T CONTINUEs.-A dis
patch dated Monday states that Silver
City, N. NJ, was almost wholly de-
stroyed by tornado on that day. 1t
is rumored that 30 people were killed,
but as communication has been cut
off, the report has not been verified,
1t is difficult for personal investigation
to be made, for the bridges are all
washed away. 1t is said that the tor
nado was accompanied by a cloud
burst, which seemed to submerge
everything in the valley. Silver City
is the largest and oldest American
town in the Territory. 1t has grown
up and been supported by the mining
industry. The population was $500.
and some of its buildings were large
and well-constructed. A number OF
business blocks were destroyed by the
wind and deluge.

DURRANT's TRIAL.-The trial OF
Theodore Durrant for the murder of
Blanche Lamount, began in San
Francisco Monday. An application
for change Of venue was made. Dur
rant appears much more like q felon
since his moustache has been shaved
off and prison life has rendered still
more pallid pasty complexion. The
affidavit on which the application of
change of venue was based covers
many pages of legal paper and en-
braces about everything that has ap-
peared in the public prints. Its read
ing took up much time, and an ad-
journment was taken till yesterday to
allow the prosecution to file counter
affidavits. There seems very little
prospect of the motion being granite
and it is said that the court will pro-
coed with 80 much care as to render q
rehearing unnecessary.

SEATTLE PLUCK.-It is hard to down
Seattle, and when she is downed she
don't know when she is licked. This is
apparent for about the fiftieth time in
the effort made to secure the holding
of the Endeavor Convention in that
city in 1897. A few days ago it was
announced that San Francisco had
obtained that honor, not from q supe-
rior showing OF advantages, but be-
cause some of the delegates had made
promises which could not be broken.
One would have thought that after
the final vote the matter would have
been settled; but this is not the way
Seattle does things. A plan was laid
before the board of Trustees which
finally was adopted, and that was to
open the convention OF '97 in San
Francisco and conclude it in Seattle
This will be quite as beneficial for the
Queen City as the original proposition.
1t will place two leading municipali-
ties on their metal as entertainers,
and from the way Seattle has OF doing
things. we now predict that she will
not come out second best.

CUP TO DATE"-It will be observed
that the newspapers using what are
known as "patent outsides," or "pat-
ent insides," have news which is ap.
parently quite as late in date, as the
city dailies, with their expensive tele-
graphic service. This is accomplished
by the skillful "raising" of dates /;
that lie, the occurrences of the previous
week appear under a date just preced-
ing the date of publication, and the
indulgent reader, without taking the
trouble to investigate, believes that he
is supplied with all the transactions
within a given district up to the date
of the papers publication. Such a
practice is q fraud and will sooner or
later be characterized as such.

Accident to the Monticello.

A San Francisco Dispatch OF yester-
day says that Capt. Hatcln's steamt
Monticello while off Point Arena, on
her trip to her new field Of service i'm
California, bursted her boiler, and for
~ hours tioated at tie mercy OF the
waves, and was finally towed into the
port of San Francisco by the steamer
San Benito, belonging to the line she
was intended TO enter competition
against, the Southern Pacific Co., who
now has claim Of salvage against her.
The disaster occurred about , O'Clock
on the morning of the 9th. There
were weak plates in her boiler, and
two OF them bulged out and ripped at
the seam under a pressure of 12O
pounds OF steam. The opening was
only four or five inches long and
about half an inch in width, but it
sufficed to let out enough steam to
drive everybody from the hold. The
strange part OF the matter is that no.
body was injured.

THERE is quite row in municipal
affairs at Tacoma. Some time ago
the City Council refused to confirm
the reappointment of Wickersham for
Attorney and Chief of Police Smith,
and no new candidates being sub
mitted by the Mayor, they by resolu.
ton declared those offices vacant and
stopped the payment OF the salaries
of the hold-over incumbents. Now
City Attorney Wickersham is out in an
opinion in which he declares that the
City Council has no authority what
eyer to legislate by resolution. II has
no authority to determine when a
term expires, rs that is judicial
question and for the courts only. It
has no authority to stop the payment
of salaries, as that. too, is a judicial
question. The resolution" he says in
conclusion, "may be valuable as paw
ing material in hell, but has no other
value"

ENGLAND has taken possession OF
the little island OF Trinidad, off the
coast of Brazil. 1t seems that it had
not been inhabited for q century or
more, but in 1883, Barron Harden
Hickey, q son-in-law of J. H. Flagler,
Standard oil millionaire, in trip
around the world, was driven by stress
of weather to take refuge on the
island, when he conceived the idea OF
placing colony upon it. The object
of England in taking possession OF
Trinidad is supposed to be to pave the
way towards obtaining control OF
South America.

says that he carried both bodies to the

In q Nutshell.

Mr.. Harvey iustifies the debate that
is now drawing to q close in Chicago,
between himself and Mr.. Horr, on five
grounds, which should be constantly
borne in mind by all who wish to
think and talk intelligently upon this
important subject. He shows the i'm.
portance of the controversy, for these
reasons:
First-For 200 years prior to the de.
monetization of silver in 1873, silver was
seeking the minis of the world for COIN
age into money.
Second-For POO years prior to 1873
there was no variation between the
commercial and legal ratio of l5ia to 1.
During the % years since 1873, however,
the two ratios had become separated
widely and gone from l5ls to to about
80 tot.
Third-For 1888 years prior to 1873, the
quantity ratio between silver and gold
ranged from Sc of silver to of gold, but,
Notwithstanding this wide variation, the
commercial ratio had clung tenaciously
to the legal ratio,
Fourth-The price of silver in the
London market, as measured in gold,
up to 1873, was practically steady, while
since that date silver had declined from
20 pence per ounce to 28.7 pence.
Fifth-That this violent fuctuation in
the price of silver had been going on
since its decentralization, and is going OH
to-day.

A QUEER INSTANCE OF SELF-SAcRI-
FICE.-A queer method of doing pen
ance was practiced by an Ohio girl, in
q convent at Cincinnati. 1t seems
that she was suffering from swollen
feet and legs, and upon applying to a
hospital for admission, with a letter
from the Mother Superior, it was
found on preliminary examination
that her limbs were pierced with
needles. Forty-one of these sharp
pointed instruments were taken from
her body then, and the next day ten
more we're extracted, and it was found
that blood.poisoning would result, in
which event her life would be in seri-
GUS peril. The girl, whose name is
Nellie Thomas, after some hesitancy
explained the presence of needles in
her limbs. She said she was very
wicked, and whenever she committed
a sin, she thrust q needle in her body
as a method of doing penance. She
said that she and another girl had be-
come unnaturally infatuated with each
other and had sinned against God and
nature, and it was TO mitigate pun
ishment for this transgression that
she had deliberately submitted to
modification of the flesh.

"HIs WHISPERS" DESERTS POPU-

In q letter dated at Topeka, on the

to be homework the other parties
are not fit to do-a new party fresh
from the people; party made of
men of courage equal to their convic-
tionsa But it will be built on a foun-
dation deeper and broader than free
silver or bimetallism, for these terms
express nothing that reach the core OF
the troubles which confront us. Its
motto will be something like this u:
Let the PEOPLE rule Its platform
could properly be short, plain and re-.

could be safely constructed of six
planks: Get the people to work; pay
them for what they do; away with
landlordism; out with the transporta-
ton monopoly; down with the money
power; up with the people; live the
republic" It must be extremely diff
ficult for the Populists to keep in the
