STEAMER CHAPIN
 WEDGED IN ROCKS
Ran Aground in Narragansett Bay During a HeavyFog.
 All Escaped

Providence, R. l., April 4. - With her forefoot wedged on a bunch of rocks ten feet from low water mark, on Patience Island, the passenger and freight steamer Chester W. Chapin tonight is temporarily out of commission. She may come off on the next high tide, but the indications point to a stay of several days in her present uncomfortable berth. The steamer ran ashore in the dense fog last night after leaving this port for New York. The island Is in Narragansett bay, and with the present foggy weather Is not accessible. The accident occurred through miscalculation of distance travelled in the fog, and the morning light showed that the Chapin was well out of her course.
 After the steamer struck there was no commotion on board and the crew showed splendid discipline. The passengers were landed about daybreak and sent to New York by train. All day work on the cargo was continued and tonight tht steamer is lying easy but with two large holes. in her hull.

OLD BONDS FOUND.
Had Paper Value in Excess of $1,00o,
 900, But are Worthless.

Chicago, April 4-Bonds having a paper value in excess of s1. .ooo.OO0 were found to- day in the vault of the office of the city comptroller.
 The bonds were issued in 1873 by the Chicago and Great Western Railroad Company. a corporation which has no connection with the present Chicago Great Western Railroad Company. They bear ' per cent interest and will mature in 1902 The first two interest coupons upon each of the bonds had been cut of. It is thought by men in the office of the comptroller that the bonds were collateral security deposited with the city in the effort to make good the shortage of City Treasurer Gage, who defaulted early in the seventies, leaving a shortage of some- thing like half million dollars. The Chi- cago and Great Western road was to run from Chicago to the suburb of Riverside. twelve miles west, but it never ran any where City Treasurer Gage was a resi- dent of Riverside and was connected with the railway. President John R. WaIh of the Chicago National Bank said :o- night that the bonds are worthless.
