the custom 10 hold jublces of the
church every twenty-five years, and ut
one time these were the occasion for the
gathering of vast concourse ut Rome

highest church authorities here that the
jubilee next gear Will be quite general

Instead of being centered at Rome,

nine to-day, William D. Jenkins, OF
Norrlstown, dying to-day at the hospit-
al at that place. or the large number OF
injured persons stlll In the hospitals
here three are in q serious condition,
and small hope is entertained for their
recovery. They are William FrIeGen-
horn, Thaldeus II. Adlee and George
w. Holmes all of Norristown. Holmes
aine-year-Old son was instantly killed
In the accident, but the hospital physi-
clans have not vet informed the father
Of the boys death. All the dead here
have been identified and all OF the bod
les have been claimed By relatives or
friends. and have been sent to their
various homes.
At least 10000 persons visited the
scene of the wreck to-day. Almost ev-
erybody was bent on carrying away
some kind OF 4 memeate. Many OF the
people did not hesitate to take away
with them pieces OF wood thoroughly
saturated with human blood. Every
thing In the neighborhood Of the wreck
is bespattered with blood and the
sight was q uruesome one.
The body which was yesterday
thought 30 be that of c. H. Howell, OF
Phoenixvlllc. Pa, was to-day positive
ly Identified as that OF Captain Charles
Z. Street. of Philadelphia.
The queation.as TO who Is responsible
for the catastrophe Is still being dis
cussed here. That some one blundered
is generally admitted by railroad men,
Who 1t was that blundered however,
no one seems TO positively know and
opinions on this point differ widely. The
Reading railroad officials here to-daS
took the statements of the tra!nmcn
who were concerned in the affair, and
they were sent TO the general Offices OF
the company In Philadelphia.
The coroner will begin II rigid inquiry
tomorrow u, y. m. He hus summoned
Il large number OF witnesses.
The accident waR the one tonic OF con-
vcrsatlon here to-day. Many OF the
dead and injured had relatives and
friends In this city and there was sor-
row on every hand, In every sermon
preached In the churches to-day refer
cnce was made TO the accident aud
prayers were offered FOR the dead and
the injured.

sAULT STE MARIE. Mich, May Il.
The schooner Nelson. deeply laden
with a cargo Of coal. foundered In Lake
Superior. off Grand Marnis, last eve
ming. and carried down all hands. So
far as known here, no one escaped
from this. the first disaster of the sea-
son. but a report from Deer Park.
Mich. states that the captain was
saved. The crew consisted OF the fol-
lowing: Captain Andrew Haghney. of
Toledo: the captains wife: two-year-
old child Of the captain: Fred, o sailor.
residence unknown: six sailors. names
unknown. The Nelson. which was
owned by the Mitchell Transportation
Company. OF Bay City. Mich, was In
tow Of the steamer A. Folsom: which
also had the schooner Mary 3. Mitchell
as u consort. The Folsom and the
Mitchell turned back. and arrived here
this afternoon, without serious dam
age. Captain A. e. White, master OF
the steamer, at once reported the dis
aster to the owners.
The Folsom. Mitchell and Nelson
were laden with coal. At the time OF
the disaster the wind was blowing a
gale of fifty miles an hour. and freez-
Ing hard. The three boats were coated
with Ice. and added to their load Of
coal, made them very low In the water.
The force OF the gale was driving them
toward the beach.
The beach at Grand Marais was but
four miles under the lee of the boats.
and Captain White determined to try
the dangerous expedient OF turning the
tow in the sen and running before the
wind for Whi:cfsh point. Before the
turn was finished. the Nelson was seen
to turn toward the shore. and 1t became
evident that the line had parted under
the strain or had been cut. Soon 1t
became apparent that she was sinking.
There was no chance OF rendering any
assistance, however. The crew Of the
Folsom had their hands full in taking
care OF their own craft and the Mitch
ell. In few minutes the Nelson threw
her stern into the air, and dove
straight for the bottom. Where she
sank there Is three hundred feet OF
water.
The sinking ship disappeared so sud-
denly that her crew had no time TO even
lower their ynwl boat which hung on
the davits. at the stern.
The Folsom and the Mitchell show
marks Of the heavy weather through
which they passed. The Nelson was
formerly one of the crack vessels OF
the lake fleet, and when she first came
out. In 1866, was considered an ex-
tremely large schooner. She measured
166 gross tons, and was 163 feet long
by 80 feet beam.

Inquiries have been pouring into Toledo
from all parts OF the country. asking
whether the rumor that ex-Presldent
Cleveland had died during the after
noon. Is correct. The Associated Press
has used every possible means to locate
the foundation for this story. and has
been unable to find any. Mr.. Cleve-
land, according to the rumors, died
suddenly during the afternoon. at Mid
die Bass Island, In Lake Erie. From
every point near the Island the rumor
was unconfrmed. and every incoming
boat from Put-in-Bay was asked, but
there Is no confirmation. The cable
office at Put-in-Bay closed on time,
and nothing could be gotten from that
point, but all messages from the island
must so to Sandusky, and nothing has
been sent up to this time announcing
Mr.. Clevcland's death. There Is one
boat yet to arrive ut Sandusky. but 1t
will not be in until 10 o'clock, and this
Is expected to complete the denial OF
these rumors.

row has just arrived In Sanduslky from
Put-in-Bay, and reports that nothing
Is known OF the death OF Grover Cleve-.

ROGERS WILL HAVE TO Be His Own
LAcKEY.-As everybody anticipated it
would, the mandamus suit brought by
his accidency against Secretary of
State Jenkins, to compel him to trans.
NIT notarial commissions issued BY
the executive to appointees, resulted
in the complete discontinue of the
executive. The Supreme Court has
unanimously decided that it is the
duty Of the Governor to transmit such
documents and that he cannot law
fully impose such an obligation upon
any other officer. This was the opin-
ion of Attorney General Vance, given
in response to an inquiry several
months ago, but it did not suit the
crank in the executive chair to re-
spect the finding of the State Attorney
or the concensus of public opinion on
the subject, which was that he was
making jack of himself, as usual, by
manifesting that "supreme disregard
for the opinions of Others" which he
commends as his own rule of official
action.

as it subsidized, broke out again fuller

expression of sentiment on prevailing

says that the only period of the lee
ture which called forth applause for
Admiral Dewey was when the speaker
said, al believe that Admiral Dewey
left Manila in disgust at the conduct
of the government in attempting to

that which greeted the swar.hy fea-
