peIler.

New York, Nov. 1.-The steamship
St. Paul, of the American line. Capt.
Roberts in command, arrived in port to-
day, twenty-four hours late, with her
starbOard propeller gone and her engine
room badly damaged. Statements of
different officials vary as to the cause of
the accident, but the damages sustained
by the steamship will probably amount
to several hundred thousand dollars.
The st. Paul left Southampton and
Cherbourg on October "a, with a full
cargo, 316 cabin passengers and 245 in
the steerage.
About s O'Clock last Wednesday even
ing, while some of the saloon passen-
gers were still at dinner, and others were
prOmenading, a sudden shock was felt
all over the ship, although it was not
sufficiently severe to cause a panic.
The engines we're stopped in few min
utes, but it is said that. during that
brief time, the whirIing machinery, free
of the weight OF the propeller, wrought
havoc in the engine room.
The officials of the steamship refused
to allow anyone to enter the engine
room.

PROPHETIC DREAM OF A WIFE
He Husband Brought Home Just
AS She Imagined.

kOkOmo, Ind, Nov. 2.-E. W. Free
man, former postmaster of this city
under Grant, probably sacrificed his life
in attending a democratic barbecue at
Peru yesterday. Freeman, who recently
came out for Bryan, was one of the
speakers at the barbecue. At the close
OF the speech he was exhausted, and on
reaching the cars to return to his home
collapsed completely. He was brought
home unconscious, in which condition he
still remains, victim of paralysis.
His wife dreamed he would be sent
home dead or dying, and urged him not
to attend the barbecue. Believing that
her dream would come true, she had in
bis absence prepared a room for the
body, and when the ambulance arrived
with the inanimate form long after mid
night, she was at the door to meet it.

South American governments for use as
a torpedo boat. Her plans, so far as
they have been made public, show her to
be fully equipped for torpedo service.
