SHIP RUSHING TO HER DOOM.
ssRudder Cones Ship on Fire; En-
gines UncontrOl1able," was What
the Signals Told.

London, March 9.-"Rudder gone;
ship on fire; engines uncomfortable" ;"
These words flashed in signal lights
from an unknown ship heading to the
open sea told in brief the story of a
fearful disaster to the watchers in the
lighthouse at Brixham, on the west
coast of England last night.
The lighthouse tenders saw a mass
of smoke and flame in the distance,
and knew a vessel was on fire at sea-
Rockets were sent up, and the people
of the town crowded to the dock,
drawn by the signal lights.
For a time no answer was made to
the signals from the lighthouse. while
the flames lit up the sea and seemed to
be bursting from every part of the
doomed ship.
Then came the ships signal that she
was on fire, and that the engines could
not be controlled. The words were
made out by the aid of night glasses.
The unknown ship seemed to be
moving at high rate of speed, and
was certainly doomed TO destruction
within a short time.
Heading seaward the burning ship
bore on her course until the flames
which had lit up the sky and water
were shut out of watchers sight by
the fog.

BURGLARS WERE BALKED.
The Burglar Alarm Told of Their
Presence-0ne of Them Wounded
Fatally and Captured.

Scranton, Pa, March "a gang of
burglars who were plundering the Del
aware d Hudson depot at Peckville
near here, were surprised by the po-
lice authorities, and one of them, who
gave his name as John Shannon, of
Shamol1in, was so badly wounded that
it is not thought he can recover. An
other was shot, but escaped
The depot is connected with the resi-
dence of the agent by an electric bur
glar alarm. Shortly after 2 q. m. the
alarm sounded, and the agent dressed
himself hurriedly and summoned
Chief of police Craig and an officer.
Together the three men hurried to the
station, about a quarter of mile dis
tant. The burglars heard the men ap-
preaching, and when they were a
short distance from the depot opened
fire on them. The three men sur
rounded the building and began fir
ing. Several shots were exchanged
when the robbers dashed from the de-
pot One of them fell with a bullet
in his left side, near the heart. An
other of the robbers was shot in the
arm, but managed to escape. The
wounded man was brought to this
city on a freight train. None of the
Peckville men were wounded. The
robbers did not get any money.

One of the Mem who Relieved the
Bank of England of $5,OOO,OOO
Succumbs to the Grip.

Butte, Mont, March 9.-Austin Bid
well, the noted Bank of England for
ger, died here Tuesday night of grip,
after a weeks illness. Bidwell was So.
Burial will occur in Chicago, where he
was born. Bidwell and his brother,
George, meant to go into business in
this city.
The Bidwells, by means of forged
securities in 1878, secured $5,0O0,0 900
from the Bank of England, after VIC
timizing other banks in Europe by
means of forged letters of credit. Their
idea was to get $4,000, 900, and then
compromise with the bank. In the
big game they failed and fed. George
Bidwell was caught in France and
Austin Bidwell in Cuba. They were
tried and given life sentences, with
their two confederates. After 20 years
they were released.
