NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 2S.-At
1890 o'clock this morning a collision oc-
Cured in the river about twelve miles
above the quarantine station between
the steam yacht Argo and the fruit
steamship Albert Dumers, in which the
yacht had her bow stove in and sank
within a few minutes after the accident,
carrying down two of her passengers.
The others, with the crew, narrowly es-
capped drowning. How the accident oc-
CURED and who was to blame for it the
courts will most probably be called upon
to decide. The Dumers was inward
bound from Port Limon and the Argo
was bound down the river on her way
to the quarantine station to meet the
steamship Whitney with the congress
sional committee. On board the Argo
were three reporters of the Picayune,
Messrs. H. P. Hester and F. Blassini of
the staff and an extra man, A. c. Lin
dauer. H. L. Frantzof of New Orleans
was a, guest. A crew of four men COM
manded by Captain James Brown was
in charge of the craft and the vessel
made excellent time down the river,
~~~-
hour.
All in the cabin had retired and moth
ing occurred until about 1890 this morn
ing, when the Dumers was encountered
coming up the river. The Argo signalled
for the right and the Dumers answered
by the whistle that that vessel would
take the left hand side. The Argo
crashed into the starboard bow of the
huge iron steamship, which had one of
her plates bent and the Argo had her
bow stove in and in few minutes sank.
The captain and crew of the Argo
lowered a small boat into which they
sprang, while of the passengers only
two, Frantz and Lindauer, succeeded in
reaching the boat. The boat had barely
left the side of the vessel before the
Argo plunged head first into the river,
the stern standing high in the air. The
Dumers failed to lower away boat to
go to the rescue of the little yawl which,
overcrowded as she was, came very near
swamping. After reaching the deck of
and Blassini were missing, and although
the Dumers lay to for nearly an hour in
an effort to learn something of the miss
ing men, they finally abandoned the
search and headed up the river. The men
who are missing and whose fate is
doubtless sealed were well known news
paper men. Hester was the son of
Henry G. Hester, secretary of the cot
ton exchange in this city and the nephew
of Mr.. G. Harrison Parker. Blassini was
also we'll known in the lower section of
the city.

SUFFERING AT S0LARPORE

Worse Is Promised-Meas-
ures for Relief.

SOLARPORE, India, Jan. 28.-(Copy-
right, 1860 The special correspondent
of the Associated Press, who is visiting
this district finds it badly affected. The
scarcity of food is mostseverely felt st
Taluks, Sangola, Marda and Karmala.
Solarpore city is the center of the weav-
ing industry, and its inhabitants are
suffering from the stoppage of work.
1t is estimated that three-quarters of
the whole number of weavers are al
ready out of work, and 10000 persons
throughout the district are being re-
lieved.
No cases of cholera have been record
ed in the camp of Ekruts, five miles
from here, specially laid out for the
weavers who are employed in the light
work of improving the reservoir which
was built during the last famine. On
ly 5000 men, however, are employed as
the Mohammedan weavers remain idle
in their city, living on their savings.
They will not accept manual labor until
compelled to do so.
