LIVE STOCK MARKET.

A very firm beef market is noted
among the trade, with the supply good
deal reduced. The receipts have been
very small, and there has been consider
able buying by one dealer Of another
in order to keep anything like a good
showing. Some sellers are positively
holding their beef for higher prices, not
withstanding they are having fair offers
on 1t from the trade. They say that
they will get better prices or hold the
beef.
For the week the arrivals Of beef were
but 1872 cars for Boston, and IS cars for
export, a total Of 1877 cars; preceding
week, 155 cars for Boston and 116 cars
for export, a total of I'll cars; same

l01 cars for export, a total Of 24S cars.
A little firmer market continues to be
noted on lambs, with veals considerably
firmer. The supply of veals is short,
for the good reason that the roads are
in such condition in all northern New

STEAMER WRECKED.
The Steel Ship Corona Struck on
Seal Island.
A Part of the Crew Safe-Fata OF the
Captain and SO Men unknown-4oo
Horses Aboard.

The steamer Corona from Portland
Me-, bound to London with 400 horses
and general cargo, struck on Seal Iss-
and at o'clock this morning, during
thick weather. She foated Immediate
ly, and, on the pumps being sounded, n
was found she had 10 feet of water IN
her hold. The captain decided to
abandon the ship. and al hands took
to the boats, The second officer and ~
of the crew reached Forbes Point az
Woods Harbor, at noon, today. The re-
mainder of those on board. including
Capt. Baxter and SO others headed for
Seal Island Whether they have
reached there. is not yet known.
When the ship was abandoned, her
fires were out, having been extinguished
by the water, which poured through the
holes in her bottom. There could have
been no hope Of keeping her afioat long
enough to get her to the nearest land,
else the officers and crew would not
have taken to the boats in the fearful
storm that ragged.
The name Of the second officer who
landed at Woods Harbor with a poF-
ton of the crew, is Watson. The Hall
fax agent of Lloyds, George q. Frank
Ign, received advices of the disaster to-
night, but as the men who have reached
shore are still many miles from the
nearest telegraph office, no details of the
wreck have been received.
The Corona carried an extra large
crew, because of the 400 head of live
stock on board. Unless Capt. Baxter and
the remainder of the crew who steered
for Seal Island have succeeded in
reaching shore before this, 1t is feared
they will never make land, as heavy
gale has been blowing almost continu-
ously since yesterday.
The Corona was a fine steel steamer
Of 2035 tons register, 1888 gross tom
mage. She belonged to the Thomson
line, being built at Dundee in 1885, and
William Thomson, Jr., was her manag-
ing owner There is little probability
that she is still afioat. but application
was tonight made to the Canadian au-
thorities by F. d. Corbett & Co.. Halifax
agents of the Thomson line, to dispatch
the government steamer Newfield in
search of her, and also to Look for the
two missing boats.

not to oppose Mr.. Talbot in the council
meetings. The action of the Monday
caucus depends largely on the strength
Of the opposition to Mr.. Talbot in the
upper board among the republican MEM
bers of the same. If there is show of
electing another man, and George Hurl-
burt of ward is the man, there will
be a combination between the demo-
Gratis of the two branches and the anti
Talbot republicans of the board Of
aldermen. Mr.. Talbot Is sure of the
16 republican members Of the common
council. There are 80 votes in the joint
convention and the election is thrown.
into joint convention after a failure to
elect by concurrent vote. Mr. Talbot re-
quires but a single republican vote in
the board of aldermen to secure his
election in joint convention. If he Is to
be defeated, the republican members of
the board of aldermen must join hands
with the democrats of the two branches.
The republican members of the board
have taken no action relative to the
candidacy of Mr.. Talbot. His name was
considered in the run together in Alder
man Potter's Office, but there was no
vote. Mr.. Talbot's friends are conf
dent that he will get more than one re-
publican vote in the upper board and
are not at all worried at the effort to
defeat him. The opposition are not
saying much. but their efforts are earn
est and if Mr.. Talbot's defeat can be
accomplished by the proposed coanbina-
tion every effort will be made to eff
feet this combine.
Street Commissioner Stone was also
discussed at last nights meeting of the
democrats, 1t was understood at the
meeting that Mr. Stone was to with
draw, by announcement in the Sunday
papers. If this announcement had been
made, the majority of the democrats
would be ready to vote for Mr.. Prior.
If Mr. Stone Is still candidate before
the two branches he will receive several
of the democratic votes. Superinten-
dent of Public Buildings Peck will re-
ceive the votes of several of the demo-
Gratis Of both branches. The common
council will give him practically a solid
vote for the democratic members of the
lower branch are favorably disposed
toward his candidacy.

Rome. Jan. 1.-The Goth anniversary
of the pope's first celebration Of mass
was observed at the Vatican today
Fully 5000 delegates from Catholic socie-
ties and parochial committees were ad-
mitted to the Sala Della Loggia of the

TOUR UNPRoFITABLE.
The Banda Rosa VIII be Sent Back to
Italy

Chicago, Jan Carl and Theodore
Resented, managers of the Liliputians
and other musical organizations, are
sorry that they ever expected that the
American public would be interested in
hearing the great Banda Rosa of Italy,
for they have lost $4,000 in their VEN
ture and -have a peck of trouble on
hand besides. Eugenlo Sorrentino, the
leader of the band wanted q big con-
cession last night, and because he did
not get it he went on strike, and the
Rosenfelds were compelled to cancel
their Chicago engagements of four con-
certs and all other American dates.
The Rosenfelds have lost steadily on
the band ever since they brought it to
America, and last night, when Sorren-
tino demanded $4,000 in cash and a re-
lease from an Indebtedness Of $28, 900
for money previously advanced, they
threw up their hands in disgust and re-
fused. This angered Sorrentino and he
struck The band could not play with
out leader, and the managers were
compelled to dismiss the audience, which

back. They then Cancelled all engage
ments and announced that they would

band back home on the first steamer.

BISMARCK ALIVE.
Reports Sent Out That He Was
Dead Unfounded.
The Prince Though In Great Pain From
the Govt is in No Imme-
date Danger.

London, Jan. 1.-The usual quiet of
New Years day was disturbed yester-
day afternoon by a report that Prince
Bismarck was dead. This rumor was
emphatically stated by the Evening
News, and shouted throughout London
by the newsboys. 1t created a deep
sensation in the minds of the general
paper circles, until a denial was re-
eeived by the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany Most Londoners, however, went
to bed last night in the belief that
Prince Bismarck was dead, as the dis
patch to the Reuter- company from
Hamburg was only published in this
mornings newspapers
Inquiries made in London bore out
the denial. Baron d'Eckardstein. at
tache of the German embassy, said no
news had been received at the legation,
and the officials were convinced that the
rumor was untrue, because, apart from
the absence of official news, personal
friend of the baron was staying at the
home of Prince Bismarck, and would
certainly have telegraphed had the ru-
NOR been true.
At the British foreign office it was
also stated that no news or Bismarck
death had been received, and the ru-
NOR was discredited there. A denial
has also been received here from Berlin.
The feeling is one Of profound relief
The exact source of the report is not
known, but the rumor was readily
credited, in view of the fact that the
ex-chancellor' condition for the past
fortnight has been worse than before,
though it was not thought that his life
was In positive danger.
Inquiries made both by telegraph and
telephone have ELECTED the reassuring
statement that the prince Is alive, and
that there is no reason to believe that
his condition is any worse today than it
has been of late.
A dispatch from Hamburg says that
the rumor of Bismarck's death origi-
mated "a Berlin and was received in
Hamburg with scepticism which in
quiry at Friedrichsruhe proved to be
justified, There is no doubt, however,
that Prince Bismarck's health has been
rudely shaken in the last few days,
owing to his insomnia, which is due to
want of open air exercise, and the
agony which he suffers from the govt.
DR.. Schweninger has ordered Prince
Bismack to abstain from all mental
eXartiOn

REDUCTION ACCEPTED.
The Mule spinuers Decide Not to Strike

Fall River, Mass. Jan. THE Mule
Spinners' Association voted tonight to
accept the reduction in wages which Will
take effect next Monday, the vote stand
ing 244 to 2Os. Ballots were cast by the
financial members of the union during
the afternoon, and the result was an
nounced at special general meeting
held at Z O'Clock.
The smal1 vote is accounted for by the
fact that spinners in the Kerr. Conani-
cut, Globe yarn and Sanford spinning
mills were debarred from voting be-
cause they had been told that no reduc-
tion will be made in their wages whila
business remains as at present
The policy Of the Conanicut min may
be changed, but the spinners have been
assured that the other mills which make
fine and fancy yarns will not reduce
wages under the present condition Of
trade. The announcement of the result
caused much pleasure among the busi-
ness men, as they feel that a strike
would have entailed much suffering in
the community and would have been
barren of results for some weeks at
least.
