WENT DOWN QUICKLY.

The Wilson was coming toward the ca
nal and the Hadley going out, both Oft for
the Superior entry, and crashed loaded
Just before reaching the canal, and when
about opposite the Wilson, the Hadley
was given orders by tug to 60 to Supe-
rior. Immediately she sheered off for the
Superior entry, and crashed directly Into
the Wilson. The Wilson went down so
quickly that it did not seem possible TO
save life. One man on the Wilson threw
life preservers to those who had jumped
into the water. The crew of the Handy
also threw out life preservers.
As the Wilson went down the members
of the crew rushed to the stern, jumping
overheard as fast as they could free them
selves from their clothing. The vessel did
not float minute after the collision. Dur
ing this interval she seemed supported
entirely by the Haudley's prov, which
was sticking in through her plates. The
men who jumped last were seen struggling
near the hull Just before the plunge and
could not be seen afterwards.
WAS HELPLESS
The Hadley's steering apparatus seemed
to be paralyzed after the collision She
swung round in a circle several times, and
seemed utterly helpless. In a few
moment it was apparent that the Hadley
was going down, and the crew on it could
be seen stripping themselves and lower
ing boats. Some of them got into boats
but when the Handley sank to within
foot of her deck she seemed to cease sink
ing for few minutes, and the men clam
bered back on the boat.
The race of the life-saving crew and tug
for the wreck was thrilling. The Handle!
would have made the shore had 1t no
been for tugs. The life-savlng crew pick
ed up the men in the water. The Hand
ley had run FOR shore, and a momen
after her bow went on the bottom, ne
stern began to settle and 6ualy went dow

today.
Gilbert Rhodes has recovered from
his siege of diphtheria and the quaran-
tine was raised at his home today.
The duplicity of man has again been
encountered. The fact was brought
home to certain "landlady'' and a
buxom widow in this city some few
days ago. The che in the case Is one
of the well known sports that made
this city formerly his home, but is now
telling the same "only true love- tale
elsewhere. The fellow was very inti-
mate with the landlady, and was spin
ming the old story in her ears some time
when the widow entered on the scene.
The widow was so attractive that he
must need speak every few minutes
with her, so telephone was installed
and the "cooing' during business hours
was done over the wire. Mrs. Landlady
did not know of her lovers duplicfty
until one day some one carried the news
to her ears that Mrs. Widow was wear
ing a beautiful gold locket around her
neck with her faithless lovers initials
engraved on it, and as he had just CIV
en- her a fine watch with the same ini-
tials engraved on them as token Of
his exclusive regard, she Immediately
became afflicted with the green eye"
and made straight for the widows
apartments where a jolly row ensued.
The exact status of the case at this
writing is not known, but the widow
received telegram this morning, most
probably demanding them presents
back" SO the incident is closed. Such
is the course Of 'love." always has
been, and most probably always will be
forever and anon.
