STEAMER SANK FISHING BOAT.
Crew of Sixteen Rescued and Taken to
Norfolk by the Hamilton.

Norfolk by the Hamilton.
Norfolk, Va, June 24.--When the
steamship Hamilton Of the Old Dominion
Line, Captain Doaz, bound from New
York to Norfolk, reached this port this
afternoon, Captain Doaz reported that as
the Hamilton was about two miles from
Northeast End lightship, off the Della
ware coast, about IL O'Clock last night,
she suddenly crashed into the fishing
schooner John H. Ker, Captain Redmond,
of New York, sending her to the bottom
of the ocean, but not until all hands had
been rescued. ~
There was thick fog prevailing Of the
time and tie schooner was under full sail,
while the Hamilton was running about
eight or ten knots under reduced speed.
The Ker tried to cross the Hamilton's
bow, but the big liner struck her square
amidships. There was crashing of tim
her and cries for help and the Ker imme.
diately began filling.
The Hamilton at once stopped her
engines, and backed off, while the
schooner quickly settled down in eleven
fathoms of water and was lost to view In
less than fifteen minutes. AS the Ker
was sinking the Hamilton launched her
lifeboats and Captain Redmond and
fifteen men, comprising the crew of the
doomed schooner, were taken aboard the
steamship. They were brought to Nor
folk and were returned tonight to New
York on the steamer Jamestown. of the
Old Dominion Line. -
The Ker was two-masted schooner
built in 1889, about ninety feet long and
twenty beam. She had been out on the
fishing banks for several days and was on
her way to Fulton Fish Market, New
York, with full cargo of blueiish. The
Hamilton sustained no injury except Q
little paint scraped off her bow. The fog
was so thick at the time of the accident
that it was impossible to see one hundred
yards ahead.

John Ruslin's Vigorous Condemnation of
That Amusement.

John Ruslsin's vigorous Condemnation of
That Amusement.
Baltimore American.
A few weeks before John Ruskin
passed to that bourn from which no
traveller returns" the enterprising editor
of q New York newspaper dispatched
his London representative to interview
the Sage of Brentwood on the beauties
and benefits of bicycling. The editor
evidently did not know Rnskin, or he
would have save himself and his corre-
spondent the trouble of trying to make
the great critic talk on subject abhor-
rent to him--machinery and mechanism
of any description.
Mr.. Ruskin refused Eoint-blank TO
be interviewed, and gave the newspaper
man so cold a reception that the latter
lost no time in making his return trip
to London. A few days later the corre-
spondent received a letter from Ruslsin,
and, to his intense Joy, the journalist
saw that the communication was re-
ply to some of his questions about the
wheel. Said Ruskin: ID

cord as an antagonist of the DEVILS

the legitimate and natural joys Of the
body, and every attempt to stride on

wheels is an aiiront to the Almighty.
You can't improve on Gods appointed
way of walking by substituting an i'm

There is little need to add that the
New York editor did not include Rus.
