the Life Boat Is Dashed to Pieces.
New York. October 6--The steamer
Franklin, which arrived Efrom sBaracoa
today, had such rough voyage that she
was seven and half days in M aking the
trip, which usually occupies five and
half days Strong gales were experienced
all the way up the coast. On October 4th
in lat. &c. "a; long. 73 20; during heaVy
northeastygale, "a dismasted vessel 1t was
sighted and on nearer approach signals Oh
distress were seen. The Franklin bore
down on the wreck and found her to be
what was left of the schooner William
Frederick y of Belfast. Maine. The
sea was running mountains high and was
very hazardous to lower boat, but there
seemed no prospect CT the weather moder-
ating, so Captain Rasmussen directed
life boat to be manned and lowered This
was done, and the first mate, Jan Han
sen; second mate, Herrick Anderson, and
seaman, e. Vasender, took their places
at the oars Alter hard and per1lous
pull the brawny Norsemen forced the life
boat through the hugh seas until the
schooner's side was reached. Then the
distressed schooner's crew of seven jumped
overheard one by one and were all safely
picked up by the Franklin's crew, IN the
life boat. Then came hard tight TO get
back to the ife boat. Then came
hard fight to get back to the Franklin's
side As this was accomplished and just
as the last man climbed over the side,
the life boat was dashed to pieces against
the steamers side.
Capt. H. G. Jordan of the dismasted
schooner was.seen at Quarantine by re-
He said he was bound from Sat1lla River,
Ga, for Belfast, Maine, with cargo OF
lumber. The schooner left Cumberland

encountered almost from the start to Oc-

which at first the pumps were able to oon-
troll, but as the gale continued the leak be
came worse until finally she almost sunk
to her decks. Part of the dec K load was
iettisoned and the schooner headed Tor

masts went by the board, leaving the
schooner unmanageable in the trough OF
the sea. All her provisions were ruined
and siG The the water casks were submerged and
filled withrsalt water. After perilous

Captain Jordan said it did not seem
possible for small boat to live in such
heavy sea- and he highly praised the he

1t Was at the Laying of Corner Stone
of Catholic Church-Ten VIII Die
and Scores Wounded.
Lorane, Ohio, October GA frightful
accident attended the laying of the corner
stone of St. Mary's Catholic church in
this city this forenoon. Five thousand
people were gathered around the founda-
tion for the new structure, and the
priests were about to begin the services.
The foundation for the building extended
about ten feet above the basem ent. At
the bottom of this was erected platform
where the ceremonies were to be held.
Over one thousand persons were stand
ing on the platform VIII en- section OF it
containing about three hundred people
sank beneath it's burden and precipitated
them into the excavation.
The section which gave way was in two
wings, and as it sank it formed death
trap for the people, from which there
was no ch ance to escape. The pit
resembled an inverted roof of a very steep
house. In this were orowed men, women
Those at the top of the mass escaped
easily. When the pit was partly emptied,
those victims still entrapped could not
Chamber up the steep sides, and they
trampled each other like so many wild
creatures the strong getting on top and
the weak being crushed beneath the great
weight.
Although there were a thousand people
ready to rush to the rescue they could
render very little aid to the helpless
people in the pit. Several minutes
elapsed before ropes and ladders could be
procured. When assistance finally reached
the unfortunate victims one child had
been tramplcd to death, twenty three in
jured, ten fatally The old Catholic
church near by was turned into a hospital
and morgue. Into this were carried the
killed and injured. Notwithstanding the
shock of the accidents the priests sue
ceeded in quelling the crowd and con-
tinued the services.
The contractor is said to be responsible
for the accident, poor timbers being
used for the support of the platform. The
town tonight is in deep mourning over
the sad and CHASTITY accident

LONDON MUSIC HALL LICENSES.
County Councils Decision Big Surprise
to Social Purity Committee.
London, October 5.-Mrs. Ormiston
Chants absence from the session of the
London county council, at which the
social purity party's defeat over music
hall licenses was decisive, led to an in
quiry as to where she had gone. 1t trans
pires that she sailed from Liverpool for
Boston on the steamer Cephalonia,
September 26. She is on her way to
Baltimore, where she will attend a social
purity convention. She will be more
than surprised to learn that the Empire
and every other music hall has
triumphed over her on the licence
question.
Mrs e. Ba1lhache, president of the
social purity committee of the British
Women's Temperance Association, told
the representative of the United Press
that the inaotion of the party at the
licensing session was due to the failing
of certainty that tho former decision Of
the county council against the music
halls would be upheld, and that the
moderates in the council would never
reverse the moral work of six years.
The absence of Mrs. Chant, which she
dep lored, accounted for much. The social
purity committee has now been stung to
action, and was determined to put more
energy in the movement in the future. 1t
hoped to upset the decision, which had
taken the committee by surprise.
