LOST In THE DEEP.
Steamer MOhegan Runs Ashore of
the Lizard,
And Goes Down with 1875 SOuIs-But
As are Positively Known to Have
Escaped.

LONDON, Oct. l4.-The Atlantic
Transport COmpany's steamer Mo-
hogan, formerly the Cleopatra,
which left London for New York
yesterday with fifty passengers and
a crew of one hundred and fifty, is
ashore off the Lizard, between
Manacles and the Lowlands.
Only forty-five Of all those on
board are positively known to have
escaped.
From the, best evidence obtain
able at st. Keverine, it appears that
the MOhegan foundered five min
utes after she struck the rocks. She
was going at full speed, struck twice,
stopped, and rapidly settled into the
water.
AS the captain and the executive
officers of the steamer wen: down
with her, it has been impossible
thus far to ascertain how she got out
of her course, as Falmouth light and
the coast were visible.
One of the survivors of the Mo.
hogan, George Maule of New York
was interviewed after he had
sufficiently recovered TO be able to
tell the story Of the wreck. He
said: 80

speed, and suddenly we heard loud
crash, which seemed to denote that
we had cOllided with some Other

Manacles and the Lowlands, in tn,
vicinity of the Lizard.

Hon. H. Clay Evans has an APP
pOintment to speak at Murfreesboro
tomorrow and in Nashville to-mor-

of the Democratic State Committee,
at noon yesterday addressed letter
to Chairman Mccall, of the Repub-

asking that Mr.. Evans grant divis-
ion of time to Congressman +. w,
Carmack, at his Murfreesboro ap-
pointment. Late in the afternoon a
letter was received from the Repub-
lican headquarters refusing to grant
the division of time. 1t does not
seem, after all, that the Republicans

POLK NOMINATED FOB CONGRESS.

After an extended conference,
having adjourned from Eagles Mere
to Sunbnry, Rufus K. Polk of Mon
tour county was nominated for Con
gress on Wednesday morning by
the Democratic conferees of the
Seventeenth district on the fifty
hrst ballot. At the time of taking
the fftieth ballot the conferees told
the candidates that there was no
possible chance of an agreement
Fritz, Polk and Davis all insisting
on the nomination. Mr.. Walsh
having withdrawn in favor of Mr..
Polk gave him decided advantage.
There was large delegation from
Montour county present who took
the ground that they had not had a
Democratic congressional nominee
since 1856; that they had been ten
years in this district, and every
other county had a nomination ex-
cept theirs, and that this was their
turn and they would hold out.
After every endeavor to secure the
nomination for Mr.. Fritz by Our
conferees, it was found that there
was no possible chance to nominate
I man from Columbia county. Mr..
Davis also saw no way out for him
self. Mr.. Fritz and Mr.. Davis then
agreed that they would go before
the conference and instruct their
conferees to vote for Mr.. Polk.
They then carried out this agree
ment by both going before the con-
ference and instructed the conferees
from their counties to vote for Mr..
Polk, and made his nomination un-
animous. Mr.. Polk is we1l-known
business and society man of Dan
vile, and is a grandson of ex-Presi-
dent James K. Polk. Mr.. Polk is
first lieutenant of Company F.
Twelfth Pennsylvania Volunteers
Infantry, and is at present stationed
at Camp Meade with his company.
He is about 81 years of age and
native of Tennessee. He was grad
uated from Lehigh University in
1887, and then came to Danville
and took place in one of the de-
partments of the Montour Iron Com
pany. Later he became and still is
general manager OF the North
Branch Steel Company and also
member of the iron manufacturing
firm of Howe & Polk, both import
ant industries Of Danville.

MRS. E. N. PERRIN DEAD,

The announcement of the death oi
Mrs. E. N. Perrin, at Ray Brook, Es-
sex county, New York, Tuesday morn
ing, was received with profound sorrow
by the entire community. The fam
lily, consisting of husband and wife and
little son Edwin, had resided in New
York City until quite recently. Leav-
that city they went south where they
remained until the health of the de-
ceased necessita:ed another change OF
climate. Thinking the mountain air
would benefit his wife Mr.. Perrin de.
cided to move to Ray Brook, in the
Catskill Mountains, but the change
furnished no improvement, and she
died at half past three o'clock in the
morning on Tuesday. The deceased
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. F.
P. Drinker of this town, and was born
here in January, 1866. Her mother
was at the bedside when the end
came. Her husband and son, father,
mother, sister, Mrs. w. P. Meigs. OF
Bloomsbury, and two brothers, Fran
els and William of Scranton, survive.
Mrs. Perrin was blessed with an ex-
ceedingly large circle of friends. She
was a most estimable lady and her
demise is deeply mourned.
We have not been informed as to
the funeral arrangements, our only in
formation being that it is to take
place in New York either to day or
tomorrow.
