A FRIGHTFUL COLLISION.
A Steamer Crashes into a Yacht-Thre
of the Yacht Party Missing.

New York, Aug. 26.-The sloop Ade-
laide, owned by II. w. Inman, Jr., the
cotton broker, while cruising off North
Point Tonight, was run into by the iron
steamer Pursuer. There were aboard
Mr.. Inman. who is very we'll known
yachtsman; Mr.. and Mrs. G. l.. Evans
of West Forty-ninth street; Miss Nor
ton, whom Mrs. Evans was chaperoning,
and Mr.. Herbert II. Dorno, the mate,
whose home is in Springfield, Mass.
There were the captain and two others
i'm the crew, but Mr.. Dorno does not
know their names.
The Adelaide was keeled over and at
least three persons are known to have
gone overheard. Mrs. Evans and Mate
DornO werte hauled hbOard the Pur-
suer. The Adelaide righted, and an eye
witness states that as she moved off in
the dark the forms of three men could
be distinguished on her. Life boats were
lowered by the steamer to rescue those
who had gone overheard. They re-
turned and reported that an inbound
steamer had picked up a woman and
two men from the water. Mr.. Inman,
Mr.. Evans and Miss Norton are among
those mot accounted for.
The Adelaide was off shore about 1880
p. M, coming from NortOns Point. The
yacht had the right of way. There was
no need of collision between her and
the steamer. Captain HUI of the Pur-
suer saw the yacht, but too late to avoid
the crash. He had the engines reversed
and the steamer was under but little
headway when her nose struck the AIDE
laide just forward of the midship. The
force of the collision was sufficient to
stave in the bulwarks of the Adelaide. It

Miss Norton seemed to lose her head
entirely. With shrek she jumped into
the water.
Mr.. Evans, seemingly thinking it was
his wife, plunged in after Miss Norton.
His wife, it is said, could not swim, but
Miss Norton. after whom he jumped,
could. Mr.. Dorno was knocked fat on
the deck and one of his ribs broken. He
was on his feet in moment and prevent

the steamer. Mate Dorno grabbed big

ed away and he was left hanging to the
hawser with the unconscious Mrs. Evans
in his arms. Some Of the deck hands on
the Pursuer reached over and pulled Dor
no and Mrs. Evans on board. The steam
er was completely stopped by this time.
The Adelaide was fading from sight and
from the water came shouts for help.
Captain Hultz ordered two boats lowered
from the steamer. but it required three
minutes to get the small boats in the
water. There was a panic aboard the
steamer, caused largely by Mrs. Evans
screams for her husband.
Some foolish person yelled fire and
started a lot of women and men excitedly
around the decks. The small boats were
lost sight of for Is or 20 minutes. When
they returned it was to report that an
unknown schooner about to dock in this

ADDRESSED BY COXEY.
A Populist Assemblage at Chicago
Letter From Debs Read.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-General Coxey,
Populist candidate for governor of Ohio,
addressed large assemblage at Popu-
list picnic in the northwest section OF the
city this afternoon. He told those pres.
ent he would be the next governor OF
Ohio and would probably be the Populistt
candidate for president of the United
States in 1896.
A letter was read from E. V. Debs,
now in Jail at Woodstock. 1t is re-
markab,e document in that it attacks in
remarkable manner all the doings, OF
the old political parties. Debs says that
to expect any change from the old parties
is idiocy. "Both are controlled by the
money power and both are equally de-
bauched by this influence" He then re-
fers to the present National administra'
ton as probably the most infamous that
has ever cursed the country" He says
"the Democratic party is incapable and
corrupt, full of false professions, detested
and scorned through the land is as dead
as a mummy and will be embalmed in its
own slime" He then states that in one
regard the Republican party is superior
to the Democratic party, because it does
not hesitate to 'boldly champion every
measure calculated to enlarge the power
of p,utocracy. while the Democratic party
makes profession of loyalty to the peo
pie, to whom it turns traitor in the su
preme hour"
"There is but one course open" says
Debs. sand that is to turn boldly to the
Peoples marty. 1t is impossible to either
| cleanse or reorganize the Old parties"
Debs then goes ON the score the courts
and abuses President Cleveland in a mos
liblous manner: winding up by character
to imprisonment, as Scar Woods. who
in the interest of corporations and in
defiance of constitutional rights, deprived
me of my liberty"

LONDON RINlAiNCNS-

London, Aug. 25.-With the continued
influx of gold the rates for money have
again slackened and from the same cause
exception was the mining market, in
which business was quiet, although prices
were firm and home railroads were strong
and foreign railroads were quiet. There
was a good demand for Turkish, but
Spaniards were weak. Paraguay is ad-
vancing. American securities were better
and especially the bonds, which were in
good demand at advancing prices; shares
are not neglected, but the anticipated Erie
and Reading reorganization schemes will,
when issued, improve matters. Eries
have been sold on basis of $12 assess
ment. Grand Trunks have been better
on better traffic prospects. Advances
have been as follows: Illinois Central 2
per cent, Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul and Lake Shore 1-2 per cent. Other

IT WAS 4 FALSE RUMOR. Chief Justice Baker Will
 Not Resign. A Press Dispatch of Absolute
 Error.
Report from Washington that the
 Chief Justice Was To LeaVa Arizona.

Following is the text of a United Press Washington telegram, published in the San Francisco Call of October 5:
 "A c. Baker, chief justice of Arizona, is to become citizen of Los Angeles, should he conclude not to move to San Francisco. He has informed the de- resignation as chief justice of Arizona
 ''The officials of the department of justice are not inclined to explain how it is that Baker contemplates such a rash act. It is understood that there is some friction between the depart ment and the judge, and this is at the bottom of the trouble.
 ''In the meantime Baker explains that he is getting s9,000 year from the government, and while he has been getting $1,000 a year from the territory that was cut off by the last legislature, and now it happens that he is working on a $3,000 salary instead of a $4O0O. It is also undersEcod that there was some trouble between Gov. Hughes and the judge. The fight to get Hughes out has so far been of no avail, for the reason, as is we'll known, y goldbug paper in Arizona, which is something in the nature of freak in that country. <As Hughes appears likely to remain in office, it is under stood that this has nettled Baker to some extent and may have entered into his calculations leading to his pro posed resignation
 Judge Baker was found by Re publican reporter in his chambers at the court house When interrogated as to the truth of the story, the judge was quick to term it made out of whole cloth.''
 'Is it your intention to resign?" queried the reporter.
