Especial Correspondence of the Associated Press
RIO JANElRO. January 6-The follow
ing are the details of the burning of the
| ferry boat Terciera and the loss of over a
hundred lives, a brief account of which
was cabled the Associated Press at the
time of the disaster:
The Terciera, with over 800 passengers
| left the Rio side of the bay at about 6 D.
m. San Domingo was one of the points of
! Decentralization in Nictheroy, where it
landed perhaps POO persons and received
on board fifty others. Soon after backing
out OF the dock at San Domingo and turn
Ing toward Praia Grande, another point on
the Nictheroy side, it was discovered that
the Terciera was on fire and burning rap
idly.
At the same time the ferry boat Quinta
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
Quinta by means of her steam whistle. The
master pilot of the Quinta steamed quite
close to the Terceira. now almost entirely
ungovernab!e. He intended to run along
side 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 a large crowd went up to
the pilot house. and, with drawn revolvers,
compelled him to abandon the people on
the burning boat, who were thus allowed
to burn to death or throw themselves into
the bay. A large number of launches and
other craft FASTENED from the Rio side and
attempted to save the drowning men, wo-
men and children, and many were thus res
cued. but over a hundl ed lives were I'M
necessarily lost.

History of Education in Maryland.

a bulletin on the history of education in
Maryland has been issued by the United
States bureau of education. 1t was COM
piled by DIR. Bernard C. Steiner, who char
acteriZes the state as the scene of the be-
ginning of the great educational activity
of Catholic schools. The number and i'm
portance of the higher institutions of learn
ing in Maryland, says the report, has been
too great to Justify the neglect that they
have received. The early conditions of life
in the colony. it is stated, did not favor
schools or colleges. Maryland, during it's
history, has chartered forty-Sx Institutions
of higher learning, and twenty-seven of
these are in operation today.

The scores that follow were made on

The quiet and steady young bowlers,
Birney Locraft of the c. I. and Jimmy

individual work of the evening. The for
nler made a three-string run of 495 pins,
the best for his team, and a single-string
of 1893 the best of the evening; and the
latter made a three-string run of 800 pins,
the best of the evening, and single-string
of 49, pins, the best for his team.
AS whole, the team totals are only
fair, but the totals by frames were inter-

Manager Wells is in the pink of con-

The prospects for a season OF good

Richmond has not won the pennant yet
as some other teams appear TO have
done but you can rely on it that when
the season closes we will be with the
leaders. and no matter which team wins
the coveted flag they will have to hustle

THE TEAMS MAKE UP.
Speaking Of the makeup Of the team

Wells said Al. Gibson and Reddy Foster
Will alternate behind the bat, and |
may help them out myself In the box
We will have J. G. Korr, Jesse TannehiI.

They are all said 10 be good ones and

something worth looking at in the pitch

In the iniield | will look after the

Gowan Will cover third. The last named
player / secured to fll the vacancy caue-
cd By Pender's release. lie is a hustler.
