BEACHED HER.
The Steamship CephalOnia
Struck a Reef.
She was Run on the Shore at
HOlyhead.
Her Passengers All Landed and
HOmeward Bound.
II Is Believed the Steamer Is Not Badly
Damaged.

HoLYHEAD, Jan. 1.-The Cunard line steam
ship Cephalonia. Captain seccombe. from
Boston on December q. for Liverpool has
been Seached near here. The Cephaloaia ran
ashore on n reef near South Stack. in a. dense
fog, but she subsequently ioated and svsamed
here, when she was beachod, her after hold
being fun of water.
When the steamer first grounded. two life
boats were sent to her assistance. but the ris-
ing tide foated her. and she proceeded under
her own steam. until the last moment The
40 passengers who were on board of her ar
rived here, and have taken trains for their
respective destinations.
The Cepholonia had very rough passage.
Everything went well, however, until 7:2O
o'clock this morning. when she ran ashore.
The passengers rushed on deck in alarm, the
boats were lowered Immediately. and all the
women and children were placed in them.
When the women and children had been cared
for, the other passengers we're allowed to
enter the boats But an examination or the
steamer which was promptly made by her
officers, showed that while hor after part was
badly damaged. she was not making so much
water as To prevent her from proceeding
under steam. Therefore. as Hoiyhead was
at no great distance from the spot where sho
grounded. as soon az the Cephalonia foated
on tho high tide. at 0 o'clock, her boats were
recalled alongside, the passengers were again
taken on board. and all possible speed was
mace for Holyhead.
The passengers speak in the highest terms
of the conduct Of the officers during the
emergency, and are delighted with having
escaped such great peril. with little or no
loss 10 themselves.
IL is not believed that any OF their baggage
il damaged, as IL was slowed down tho main
hatcEway. and the water only reached the
after hold. and even then not to .any very
great extent.
An examination Of the damage sustained by
the Cephalonia will be made as soon as her
cargo IL discharged, but although nothing
definite Is known. II is not believed that any
lengthy repairs will be needed. although she
may have TO miss trip across the Atlantic.
Tho position OF the Cephalonia, later in the.
day, became much more serious. She begrn
TO make water rapidly where she Was
beache6. and now lies in about five tsthJms
of water. with a considerable list to STAR
board. Her after part and after aolds
are nearly full OF water. which is also
beginning to onter the saloons. Divers are
busily at work upon her. hut il is now evil
dent that the damage she has sustained is
much more serious than at FIRST SUPPOSED and
announced. The work OF getting out hcr
cargo from the after holds has been almost
entirely stopped and in every way the posi-.
tion OF the steamer is very critical.

Dubois said coolly, "The State is fn-

Dan Sullivan lived with woman named
Fenner at his house on the 10th of July,
1892, and that Sullivan came home ON
that night about 9 O'Clock.
Attorney-Gcnera Dubois objected to
the questions OF Mr.. Brennan, and after
the court had made few remarks Gem

anything about the murder of Haswcil4v
This question was objected to, and not
pressed. The next question was If the

Yankee Dan to tell the truth. The
witness, did not, however, appear to ex-
plain clearly why he had not offered his
testimony in the previous trial. He had,
after Sullivan testified yesterday, ezplsin-
ed to Mr. Holland the testimony he gave
today.

Further questioning OF the witness

question was whether the pursuit OF the
policy business led the witness 10 the
discovery OF murdercrs, TO which he re-
piled that he gave up he policy business
three months ago.

gradually depressed prices, and the fail
ure of one of the greatest retail dry goods
houses in the world, followed by the sud-
den unloading of many thousands of bales
of contract cotton held by a Wall street
bull operator, precipitated a break of %
points, and for a time. the market was
panicky. January declined to Use, rallied
to 7.S5c, reacted to 776c, and closed at III
d7.7Sc, with the tone steady at the decline
The extraordinary haste with which the
south is forcing the early receipts upon the

that in the long run higher prices are in
evitable."
