disposed of last week when Theodore
II. Durrant on trial in San Francisco,
was convicted Of numbering Blanche
Lamont, and II. II. Holmes, the arch
fiend who has something like dozen
murders charged against him, was con-
victed in Philadelphia of the murder
of William Pietzel. The country will
rejoice when it has heard the last OF
these blood stained brutes in human
form.

STEAMER SUNK.
Big Hole Stove in the Side of the
America by the W. Il. Gilbert,
Accident Occurs in $500" River
Graft Valued at 100000
She Can Be Raised.

SAuLT STE. MARIE, Mich, Oct. 1s.-The
steel steamer America, bound up coal
laden, was sunk In collision with the
steamer W. II. Gilbert, at Rains island
just above Sailors Encampmeht in the
500 river ut o'clock Friday morning.
The America attempted to pass the
steamer Penobscot in the channel on
the port side. The suction caused the
sterEs of the two steamers to lock to-
gether, swinging the Americas bow
over on the bank with. the stern in
mid-stream. Before a move could be
made to right the America the steamer
Gilbert, bound down, crashed into her
just forward of the boiler house,
the force of the collision swinging
the Americas stern until 1t was
straight with the channel. The Amer
lea filled instantly and sank. Her
decks, however, are out of water and
she will probably be raised with little
difficulty. The America was owned by
the keldcrhouse syndicate of Buffalo
ind valued at $4,000. She is insured
for her full value.
The Gilbert was apparently unin-
jured. All of the crew of the America
escaped injury.
An examination of the sunken steam
er shows that while several plates are
cracked no bad hole has been cut in her
side and wrcckers say she can be floated

A BLOODY TALE.
Account ofsMassacre at Trebi2ond
by an Eyewitness.
Soldiers Join Turkish Mob in Cut
ting Down the Helpless Armen-
ians- Nearly 600 Slain.

LONDON, Oct. 1s.-The Daily News
publishes dispatch from Constanti-
nople giving description by an eye
witness of the rioting at Trebizond.
He says that four separate Moslem
mobs surrounded the Armenian quar-
tiers at II o'clock on the morning of Oc-
tober and began to pillage the shops.
Being opposed, they fired on the Ar
menians, and soon general massacre
began.
Soldiers Aid tho Mob.
Soldiers joined the mob in firing on
the Armenians and in pillaging the
shops and houses. The scene continued
until o'clock in the afternoon when
nothing was left to pillage and nobody
remained to be killed. The mob then
began to dispense. The better class of
Turks did their best to protect the lives
of the Armenians. They sheltered
the women and children and many men
in their houses. The mob attacked only
the orthodox Armenians, leaving the
Catholics alone. Only two non-Ar-
menians were killed, both being Greeks.
One of these was within n kahn,
where resistance led to the killing of
all the inmates, numbering fifty-6ve.
| No women or children were killed in
| the. town.
| Between 400 and 500 Killed.
An official return places the number
of the dead at 100, but well-informed
| persons place it at between 400 and 500
AT o'clock the governor and other Of
| ficials appeared on the scene, and
the governor proclaimed that any
body found armed would be
arrested and summarily punished.
Leading Turks obtained permission for
the Armenians to lodge in the barracks,
where military protection was given
them, it being feared there might be a
renewal of the disorders during the
night.
On the same day-October s-several
villages outside of Trebizond were
burned and pillaged and many persons
