SAFE IN PORT
HALIFAX, Feb 27.-The three hundred
and odd passengers on board the French
liner La Champagne will rest more sound
ly tonight than they have for ten days.
Since Thursday two weeks ago, half OF
which time they have drifted on the At
lantic, the days and nights have been filled
with anxiety for their personal safety, but
tonight they sleep in peace and comfort
safe in the harbor of Halifax, their fears
and cares on account of danger being dis
sipated by the happy knowledge that they
are no longer at the mercy of the stormy
ocean. After drifting for five days or
the Newfoundland banks, with the engines
disabled and the screw shaft shattered
the great Boston-bound freighter Roman
from Liverpool, came along, picked her
up, and brought her into Halifax with
out further mishap of consequence. Great
was the joy on board the big French liner
when the cloudy Sunday morning broke
with the shores of Nova Scotia in sight
and word was passed that Halifax would
be reached before dark. Port was reached
just in good time. Three or four hours
more would have found the two steamers
still at sea, caught in dark and stormy
night, with thick snow falling, and they
might have been compelled to turn about
and put off from shore to keep clear o1
the coast until day broke.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press boarded La Champagne Just as the
anchor was dropped. The saloon presented
an animated scene, as the passengers were
eager to learn what anxious friends in
New York had thought of the detantion
of the steamer. All wished to learn the
story of the boat adrift in midocean. Now
that they were safe in port, they dis
claimed any fear, but some of them could
not conceal that they had passed through
trying ordeal. La Champagne sailed
from Havre February 18th, with fine, clear
weather, which continued for two days.
Then the wind freshened and gale sprang
up, blowing with moderate force. All went
well until February 18th. The passengers
had settled down and were passing the
time pleasantly. Then the ship was steam
ing fast against the head seas, when sud-
denly, about o'clock, a tremendous crash
ing sound was heard in the engine rooms.
In an instant panic seized the passen-
gers, and great confusion prevailed in the
saloons and among the occupants of the
steerage. The ships headway was stayed
and a heavy pounding shook the whole
craft. Capt. Poirot quickly Gained the
passengers, and soon after it was discov-

CLEVELAND, o.. Feb. 27.-The conven-

TO HELP THE RAILROAD.
A Proposed Tunnel With Double
Barreled Object in View.

The proposition to tunnel under the
railroad track on the San Jose line at the
termination of Bosworth and Berkshire
streets near the Sunnyside district UNI
der the pretext that it will benefit the
residents of the Sunnyside and Mission,
Is another way Of helping the Market
Street Railroad Company at the expense
Of the general taxpayers. This proposed
tunnel which has been reported favorably
on by the Street Committee of the Board
Of Supervisors, is on the direct line OF the
proposed extension of the Market street
Railroad Company's branch line running
from the Mission road at or near College
Hill to the Glen Park tract, the site lately
selected as q monkey ranch.
The Market Street Company has been
trying for a number of years to obtain
a franchise from Mission street to Sun
nyside but the expense of building a road
and running a tunnel under the railroad
track was considered to be too much of
an outlay for the amount of traffic In
view.
To obviate this and have the taxpayers
bear the expense 1t is now proposed to
have the Supervisors run the tunnel at
the place mentioned out of the general
appropriation. This done, the Market
Street Railroad Company will then avail
itself of it's lately acquired franchise over
this route and run its tracks through the
tunnel, thus saving the expense Of doing

to be hanged for his crime. The bare
facts of the story were brought here by
the Mariposa from the South Seas.
The colony on Pitcairn barely numbers
q hundred souls. and crime for years has
been almost unknown on the little island
The settlement was formed by the mutt
neers Of the British ship Bounty, over 100
years ago, and since that memorable
event crime has been almost unknown on
the island. A few years ago ship was
wrecked on or near Pitcairn, and the sur
vivors reached the island. Some Of them
joined the colony and others got away on
the first passing vessel
Among those who remained on the
island was a man named Christian. He
got along well at first and was soon max
ing love to one of the islanders When a
woman and then trouble began. He
got tired Of the woman and fell
in love with another The latter
spurned him, and he, thinking his
and child. beguiled the two of them to
the top of high cliff and pushed them
over. The next day their dead bodies
were found and Christian was arrested.
The news of the murder was sent TO
England by passing vessel, and ne
British Government at once took action
In the matter. Hamilton Hunter, Deputy
High Commissioner for the Western Pa
cific was dispatched TO the island in the
court and Christian was tried before a
jury of the islanders and found guilty. He
was taken aboard the Royalist in irons,
and will be hanged In Suva, the capital Of
the Fiji Islands. When last heard from.
the Royalist was at Papeete; capital of
