TSupposed to have been lost with his wife
and two children by sinking OF steamer
City of Rio de Janeiro.l
Capt. William Ward went down with
his vessel.
AS near as can be learned there
were POI people on board the Rio de
Janeiro, as follows: Cabin passen-
gers, %; steerage (Asiatic), 5s; sec
ond cabin, q; white officers, 30; Asiat-
ic crew, II.
The saved number 40, classified as
follows: Cabin passengers, 12; white
officers, IL; steerage (Asiatic), Is;
crew (Chinese), Il.
The lost number 122. classified as
follows: Passengers, "a; officers, 10;
crew (Chinese), SO; steerage (Asiat-
ic), 43.
Struck In Fog.
The Rio de Janeiro was three days
overdue from Hong Kong via Honolulu
when she arrived off the Heads Thurs.
day night, and the dense fog prevailing
at the time induced Pilot Jordan to
bring her to anchor until he could see
his way clear through the gateway.
She laid to until about 4:30 o'clock,
when the atmosphere cleared, and she
was started under n slow bell toward
Point Bonita. All went well until 5 40
O'Clock, when she struck. Most of the
passengers were below at the time, and
II is believed that many of them were
drownedin their berths. The first news
of the disaster reached here at 1880
Friday morripu ap6 coo, of+ar,rord n
boat load of rescued passengers and
petty officers arrived at the mail dock.
Tugs were Immediately dispatched to
render any service that might be need
ed, but no living persons were afioat
when they reached the wreck. A num-
Der of drowning people We're rescued
by Italian fishermen, and the bodies of
two white women, three Chinese and
japanese were brought in by the tugs.
The search for more of the victims con-
tinued all day.
Sank Very Quickly.
That the steamer sank almost inn
mediately after striking is the re-
port of a majority of those rescued.
Some of the passengers say that she
instantly listed forward, and that in
five minutes she went down, while
others declare that she stayed afioat
for half an hour after she struck.
The confusion occasioned by such an
incident is intense and it is not sur
prising to find that there is lack
of unanimity as to the length of time
the vessel remained above water.
The wreck lies about three-fourths
of a mile south of Fort Point and
about thousand yards off the rocky
shore. The smokestack and n por-
tion of the upper works of the i'll
fated steamer are visible.

Sewer and Water Facilities.
Mrs. M. e. Jolly of Fort Wayne. Indiana.
recently wrote to the District Commission
ers relative to securing sewer and water
facilities for Lowell street, Ingleside. Cap
tain Chester Harding, assistant to the En-
gineer Commissioner, has recommended
that Mrs. Jolly be informed that in accord
ance with the general policy of the Commits
sioners it will not be possible to extend
water main for the service Of her property
until sewerage facilities have been provid-
ed. The permanent sewerage facilities for
Lowell street between 18th and 10th streets
would cost $5,667. The expenditure OF this
amount the captain says, Is not justi-
fed by the existing conditions. as there is
only one house on the line of service. 1t
