FERRYBOAT RUN DOWN.
Savannah Liner Cuts PennsyIvanis
 Boat In Two.

New York. Nov. 1.-The Pennsylvania railroad ferryboat Chicago was run down and sunk in the North river Monday night by the Savannah line steamer City of Augusta. The story of the disaster is told in the following official statement, made hy General Manager F. l.. Shep- pard of the Pennsylvania railroad:
 "The ferryboat Chicago was run into by the Savannah line steamship City of Augusta short distance outside of the Starin line pier and cut down so that she sank a few minutes after the steamer withdrew from her. John BrySon. driver of a mail wagon. and Edwaru X. Broom of 231 Commercial avenue, Jersey City, a fireman on the Chicago. were drowned. Their bodies have been recovered.
 "The passengers were taken to the roof of the upper deck of the ferryboat, which remains above water. and were taken off by the tugs Radnor and Depew of the Pennsylvania railroad. A number of the passengers. becoming excited. strapped on life preseryers and jumped into the water, from which they were rescued by the tugs. Two men swam ashore. They were w. H. Smith and n physician whose name I do not recall. The physician swan to the ferry slip. where he was hauled out, taken to the ferry master office. wrapped in blankets and remained until his clothes arrived from his home. I talked with him, and he said the water was very chilly and that he had great difficulty in reaching shore. There was no necessity for any one to enter the wa ter.
 "On the ferryboat, in addition to the passengers, were a mail wagon. an ex- press truck, two trucks loaded with emp ty barrels and two market trucks from Newark. The ferryboat lies in about 35 feet of water, and the walking beam stands three feet out of water.
 .'The Chapman Wrecking company has made all arrangements to raise the boat, and divers are now on the way to the wreck. I have talked with John Enfield of 2S51a Sixth street, Jersey City, the engineer of the ferryboat, and have had him describe the accident accurately to Captain Corwin of the wrecking eompa- ny. Enfield told me that his engines re- mained in motion until the water was up to the decks and that he remained in the engine room until he got the last bell to unit v

St. Dfstan's Day.

The 7th of January, which follows Twelfth day, was in old times jokingly called St. Distaff's day because the spinning was supposed to be resumed. says the Baltimore Sun.
 The plowmen, who were not so will ing to resume their occupations as the women were theirs, used to set the flax on fire. in consequence of which the women would throw pails of water up on them.
 In early days ladies of high degree, as we'll as farmers wives and daugh- ters, were accustomed to handle the dis taft and spindle, and the latter were the emblems of womanhood. The fol- lowing little stanza is appropriate to the season:
 Partly work and partly play
 You must work on St. Distaff' 8 day.
 From the blow soon free your team,
 Then come home and fother them.
 If the maids a-spinning go,
 Burn the fax and fire the tow.
 Bring in pails of water then;
 Let the maids bewash the men;
 Give St. Distaf all the right.

 River-Other Movements.

Manila. Nov. 1.-Six troops of the Fourth cavalry forded the Rho Grande de la Pampanga yesterday. Four troops under Colonel Hayes moved on Talavera, which is about eight miles north of Ca banatuan, while two troops under Major Parker went northwest to Aliaga.

 General Young has arrived from Santa Rosa.
 The gunboat Laguna de Bay remains stuck on a bar below Santa Rosa. Tugs with hawsers are trying to pull her of, but so far have been unsuccessful. The river is very shallow just now, and it will require heavy rainstorm to float the vessel.
 Our scouts have captured casco con taining rails and ties used in repairing bridges.
 The supplies for the troops have been delayed, and the houses of Santa Rosa were searched yesterday for food. A quantity of rice and a number of chick ems and goats were found, and these were turned over to the commissary de- partment. Supplies are now going for ward rapidly.

THE VANDERBILT WILL.
Alfred Inherits Bulk of the Property
 Cornelius Practically Cut on.


 Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt is the head of the Vanderbilt family and the heir to the fortune of his father.
 The eldest son, Cornelius, is cut of with S1, ,5O0. 900. Of this amount $50o. 900 is given to him outright and the remainder held in trust, only the income to be paid to him. He has accepted the terms of the will, and his brother, Alfred Gwynne, has given to him from his own inherit ance a sum that will make the "disobedi- ent sons" share equal to that of the oth- CT three children-Reginald, Gladys and Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.
 Alfred thus gives to his elder brother about S6.000,000 With the exception of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. who re- ceives an additional $l .000. 900, the inher- itances of the other children are estimat- ed at $T. .500, 900 each. In addition to the S7.50O.000 in the funds created by the will, Alfred is the residuary legatee. and the Vanderbilt fortune is held intact. It will make his wealth probably about $56, ,0o0. 900. Trust funds and other funds that are Set apart to pay incomes and annuities revert to him in the end.
 There are bequests to charitable insti- tutions, friends and servants. Chauncey NJ. Depew receives S20o,oO0, which is the largest amount lett to any person oth- CT than a Vanderbilt. The public be- quests are comparatively small. when the immensity of the fortune that has been built up is considered.
 To the widow is given the house in Fifty-seyenth street. an income of $250.- 900 year and S2000.0O0 in cash.
 By the terms of the will there Is no chance of Cornelius ever coming into any of the Vanderbilt millions other than the small sums bequeathed him unless all the other descendants of the testator should die. The fortune reverts 10 Reginald in the event of the death of Alfred without his leaving an heir, and in case of the death of both of the boys without heirs it goes to the two sisters or their heirs
 The will was made in 1896, after the announcement of the engagement of Cor nelius, IT,, to Miss Grace Wilson. It was written while the father felt bitter est toward his son and shows it. After the S500.o00 and the S1.OO0.0oo gift, so far as the will was concerned, he was as one dead. The whole instrument seemed drawn to show how thoroughly he could be ignored.
