LOST AT SEA,

-PathOs OF a Death.
BOSTON, Mass, July 3O-The steamer
scandinavian has just come into port bring
ing In sad tale OF death. She ran down
tine Barkentine Florence of the Newfound-
land coast In fog on July "a. and the cap
tain's wife aud four OF the crew were
drowned. The captain and three of
the crew were saved. The story Is not
unusual as to the collision and drowning. hut
peculiar pathos attaches to the way in which
tho captains wife died. After the impact
she had risked her life calling the men, and
then, says one Of the survivors: "Immedi-
ately after reaching the deck OF
the Scandinavian, 1 got a coil of
rope and threw It to Capt. Olsen. who
at that time was standing near the gal
ley on the barkentine with his arms

secured the end Of the rope, and ATTEMPTED
to make 1t fast about his wife, but the rome
was not long enough, and the steamer lust
then backing away from the wreck pulled
the line from his hands. ~ called to those
on the steamer to lower away the lifeboat.
Olsen Essens and myself took hold and as
sisted the crew In getting the boat out
OF the chocks. In the excitement and
confusion no one seemed to know Just W nat
to do. No knife could be found to cut the
lashings OF the lifeboat, and finally the car.
penter was obliged to sever the gripes with
Ratchet. All this was valuable time lost.
and before the lifeboat was gotten into the
water the vessel had gone down. When
the vessel took her Inst plunge the
captain became separated from his
wife. They Were both drawn into the
vortex caused by the sinking craft, and
Mrs. Olsen never reappeared above the

A Fawn on q BattIeship.

When the battlcship Oregon was at
Acapulco number of sailors on shore
leave captured in the hills a young
fawn, which promised steaks of juicy
venison on the trip up the coast Like
many Of its predecessors, the fawn
became so tame that not man aboard
the ship would raise his hand against
it, much less kill it. No sailor heart
could withstand the pleading of its
liquid black eyes. So it was duly
adopted into the focas.le and regu-
larly installed as the ships pet, his
christening "Billy" following:
When the Oregon was locked at
Port Orchard "Billy" was an inter
ested observer, and as soon as the
gang planks were put ont he stretched
his legs ashore, following the men
about as tamely as dog A couple
of days ago the fawn, which ia grow
ing to such an extent that ii will soon
be deer, fell down three or four steps
of the hulkhea1ing of the dock and
was unable to get hack. Immediately
a detail of men was told off to rescue
him.
This was done amid much kicking
and fussipg on the part of the fawn,
which Immediately started for the ship
as soon as landed. He is one of the
most interesting features of the ship,
and will probably remain so as long
az his presence aboard the Oregon is
winked at by the department. Seattle

BIG FIRM GOES DOWN,

Foundations.


BATH, Me-, July 29-The famous shin
supplying firm of Swanton Il Jameson has
assigned, and the entire business community
here has been shaken to its foundations.
That other failures will result is the general
fear. While no definite figures can be given
regarding the exceedingly complicated state
OF affairs which has now been revealed. It
would not be surprising II the liabilities OF
the firm reached the hundred thousand mark
1t Is another case of a financial pillar broken.
Half century ago this old firm, then
known as Hyde h Swinton, was well known
along the Maine coast as one OF the states
strongest concerns, nth large credit In Bos-
ton and New York. 1t continued to grow.
and people came to place money with 1t
just as In a savings bank. During the last
score OF years Henry W. Swanton, son OF
one OF the founders has been the head OF
the firm, and was supposed to be cOntinu-
Ing 1t on its prosperous course MIR.
Swanton has long been one Of the
most prominent men in Bath business
circles, has served in the state senate, as
well as in the city government. and during
several years has been trustee of the Bath
Savings institution and IL director in the
Bath National bank. He. like his partner,
John G. Jameson, has always lived modestly
economically. in fact-and was estimated
to be worth 100000. The firm was rated at
5000, and had great credit at all OF the
banks, as we'll as with capitalists here.

Many stories are told to illustrate
the bravery of the famous sod
Guard" of France. Here is a new
one which shows how some of them
were as bright in speech Ms brave in
action. The Youths Companion says
the incident is true.
One fine morning, after peace had
been concluded between France and
Russia, the two emperors, Napoleon
and Alexander, were taking short
walk, arm in arm, around the palace
park at Erfurt. AS they approached
the sentinel, who stood at the foot OF
the grand staircase, the man, who
was a grenadier of the guard, present
ed arms. The Emperor cf France
turned, and pointing with pride to a
great scar that divided the grenadier' s
face, said:
"What do You think, my brother.
of soldiers who can survive such
wounds as that 2"
"And you, answered Alexander,
"what do you think of soldiers who
can intiict them 20
Without stirring an inch from his
position, or changing the expression
of his face in the least, the stern old
grenadier himself replied gravely:
"The an who did it is dead. "
