st. Johns, N. F., June 26.-The Orient
steam Navigation Company's steamer
Lusitania, Captain McNay, from Liver
pool, June 18th for Montreal, having three
hundred passengers on board, was
wrecked last night off Cape Bolerd. No
loss of life occurred. All the passengers
were rescued.
The Lusitiania was bound round Cape
Race for Montreal, with a large cargo
and ship load of passengers. She mis-
took her course in dense fog and went
ashore near Renews, twenty miles North
of Cape Race, before daybreak The
ship ran over reef and hangs against
a cliff. The passengers, who are rlostly
emigrants, were panic-stricken. They
stampeded and fought for the boats, but
were overcome by the ofcers and CT ew,
who secured control after great trouble
and prolonged tsruggle with the :ougher
element among the passengers who rsed
knives. The women and children were
rst landed and the men followed The
crew stood by the ship
The passengers of the Lusitiania had a
terrible experience. The first knowledge

owing to the ship rasping over the rocks
they were all hurled from their berths
by the shock. Many of them were bruised
and they all hurried on deck in their
night clothes. scene of great excite
ment ensued. Five hundred persons were
clamoring to escape while the crew tried
to pacify them and launch the boats, The
male passengers, in their attempt to
seize the boats, trampef the women under
foot and fought the crew with knives.
Some of the more cool headed o. the pas
sengers, assisted the crew in the efforts
to get out the boats.
The women and children rescued were
almost naked. Drenched with spray, they
were pulled up the cliffs by the coast
people. Some of the boats were dt;nol
ished in the surf, while attempting TO
land and their half-drowned occupants,
held on to rocks, shivering with cold,
until rescued
This morning the unhappy passengers
after shivering for hours on the hill tops
tramped several miles in their endeavor
to reach the houses of the fishermen
where they are now sheltered
Previous to reaching the cliffs, the
passengers passed two hours of terrible
anxiety on the wreck.

land trucks were broken. but none of the
occupants were injured The remaining
cars also left their trucks. but were not
badly damaged. 1t was in the EN- ent
and day coaches that most of the deaths
and injuries ocurred.
There was absolutely no means by
which the engine crew could see the inn
pending danger. In fact the engine ran
out upon the trestle before the structure
gave way The night was intensely dark.
For a few minutes after the fatal plunge
and dreadful roar of crashing timbers, a
deathlike stiffness prevailed which was
broken only by the cries of the injured.
Trainmen caught UP their lanterns and
rushed to the neighboring farmhouses
fofr assistance. The farmers, with their
wives and children, bearing torches, has
tened to the scene and all efforts were
bent to giving first aid to the injured.
Telephone messages were dispatched to
this city. and every physician was hur-
riedly taken to a special train, which
carried the to the scene. The injured
were placed aboard the cars and brought
to the general hospital in this city,
where everything possible was done to
ameliorate their condition.
For a time after the rescuers reached
the scene of the wreck little could be
done in the way of removing the dead.
Hundreds of tons of twisted iron and
broken timbers rested upon the car where
the unfortunate emigrants we're crushed.
But by means of wrecking derricks the
mass was gradually opened and by day
light nearly all the dead had been re-
moved TO this city.

A GAME OF EXCITEMENT
Wilmington Takes HOnOrs in a Very
Close Game.
MAKES NINE RUNS TO TARseW0s EIGHT
Many Costly Errors characterized the Game,
Kinson Wine the Second Contest From
Dunn, Struggles on American,
National Diamonds.

Again, and the third time, victory
perched on the banners of the red and
white.
The score on each side was just half
that of the previous day, being 6 against
in favor of Raleigh.
The Charlotte team played a good
game, but one error being charged
against them. 1t was the heavy batting
of the Bed Rirds that turned the trick
and Persons clean work at the slab that
kept the visitors guessing.
King Kelly was not on first yesterday
He was not well and Bridegroom Stocks
dale held down the initial bag without an
error Smith was in right field and Stan
ley in centre, thus Raleigh had all OF its
pitchers at work.
The game was played with ginger in
it. All the players were in good humor
and the grand stand and bleachers, with
some 500 people present, did not alone
reserve it's applause for the home team,
but gave it to the Meeklenburgers when
good plays were made. ,,
Murray, for the visitors, got a big
share of this applause. 1t was given in
hot low fly over in the right pasture
that looked as if it was good for home
run. BY a desperate run straight to the
side Murray got it in his right hand, on
which he wore his glove. 1t was as pretty
catch as has been seen in Raleigh and
electrified the crowd
In the third inning Jakey Atz made i"
star catch over on the right foul line

was a catch that was worth the glad
hand that expressed approval of Jackey's
work.
Charlotte had high hopes of scoring
in the fifth inning. Two men were down
when Weaver's hit was followed by a
hit from Murray in left field Weaver
misjudged stanley's throw and was
caught off second, thus winding up the
inning
In the sixth inning Venable made two
barefaced steals that came because he is
sprinter. He got to second and to
third while Person was up, but Person
struck out and so did Stocksdale, leaving
Venable on third. In Charlotte's eighth

one Of the offenders, the peruke max
ers, who feared 4 serious loss of trade,
prepared n petition. in which they pray
ed his majesty to he graciously pleased
TO "shave his head" for the good of dis
tressed workmen and wear a wig, as
his father had done before him.
When the petitioners walked to the
royal palace. however. it was noticed
that they wore no wigs themselves. As
this seemed unfair TO the onlook'
they seized several of the leading
ccssionists and cut their hair with ar
implement that came most readily Z
hand.
From this incident arose n host of
curious caricatures. The wooden leg
makers were said to have especial
claims on the kings consideration, in
asmuch as the conclusion Of peace had
deprived them of a Profitable source OF
employment; hence the suggestion that
his majesty should not only wear a
wooden leg himself. but enjoin the p>o-
pie to follow his laudable example.
