HOLOCAUST An mo.
A hundred Passengers ON u Ferry
bont burned.

boat burned.
Special Correspondence OF the As
ISOLATED Press.
Rio de Janeiro, Jan, G.--Following are
the details OF the burning OF the fer
ryboat Terceira and the loss of over a
hundred lives, brief account OF which
was cabled the Associated Press at
the time OF the disaster.
The Terceira, with over 300 passen-
gers, left the Rio side OF the bay at
about o'clock in the afternoon. San
Domingo was one of the points or di5-
embarkatl0n, where 1t landed perhaps
200 persons and received on board nfty
others Soon after backing out OF the
dock at San Domingo and turning
towards Prala Grande, another point
on the Nictheroy side, 1t was disovV-
cred that the Tercelra was on fire
and burning rapidly.
At the same time the ferryboat Quln-
ia left Praia Grande In the direction of
San Domingo, having aboard quite a
large number OF passengers. The alarm
seems to have been given first from
aboard the Qulnta by means OF her
steam whistle. The master pilot OF the
Quinta steamed quite close to the Ter
celra, now almost entirely ungovern-
able. He intended to run alongside
near enough to save the passengers,
who were In imminent danger OF being
burned to death. But when nearly In
striking distance OF the burning wreck
he was prevented by the cowardice OF
the passengers OF the Quinta, who, In u
large crowd, went up to the pilot house
and, with drawn revOlvers, compelled
him to abandon the people on the burn
ing boat, who were thus allowed TO
burn to death or throw themselves into
the bay. A large number of launches
and other crafts hastened from the Rio
sido and attempted TO save the drown
Ing men, women and children, and
many were thus rescued, but over 100

conditions OF the week:
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1892-1907, 1895-01-26

We would call your attention par
ticularly to the fact that the principal
Of one bond will fall due on the frst Of
January. 1895. and one bond for the
same amount on the first of January Of
each year. until the entire issue Of IL
bonds at 81 900 each, are paid.
On June l, 1899, one bond for $500
will be due. As you will note above this
il one of ten bonds each for the same
amount that will fall due on the first Of
June each year.
The necessity for creating sinking
fund to meet these bonds when due, il
self-evident.
