panic, were rescued by a passing tug
and brought to the city. The crew
remained on board, gathered at the
stern, which was moi. submerged.
The collision occurred in a thick
fog, and IT is said the Allegheny was
anchored at the time, waiting for
clearer weather to make her way up
the harbor to her pier. The ships
water-tight compartments, six in
number, kept her from sinking en-.
tirely.
The. Allegheny sailed from Port
Limon on March 80 with 81 passen.
gers on board. She was built al
Glasgow in 1894. She il 80 fee,

A TORNADO IN ARKANSAS.
Nine Killed, Many Manned and Prop
erty Destroyed.

erty Destroyed.
Little Rock, Ark, April S.-Spe-
tia,s to the Arkansas Gazette from
several towns in White and Cleburne
counties, Arkansas, telling Of tor
naao, which swept through that Sec
zion Tuesday night, leaving death
and destruction in it's wake. The
incorporation oithe country through
which the storm ploughed its way is
remote from railroads, telegraph or
telephone lines.
A correspondent wired from Searcy,
Ark, tonight, that he had gone over
a portion OF the track OF the storm
and that trees are twisted up by the
roots and houses demolished.
Thus far it has been impossible to
ascertain where the storm began but
it is known that it ragged in those
two counties. 1t is thought the ia
talities will mount much higher when
reports are received. The latest re-
ports are that nine are dead, three
dying, and three badly injured.
The towns OF Little Red, Albion,
Bradford, Heber and Pangburn have
been heard from thus far.

This paper is at all times glad to re-
ceive items of news for publication, and
will print with pleasure the arrival of
guests from distant towns. 1t is fire.
quently the case that by chronicling the
arrival of guests, the newspaper can
render a pleasant bit of service to many
old friends and acquaintance who will
be interested to know that they are i'll
town, and will thus make it point to
call, and hosts may with propriety re-
quest the Register to print such items
for them. All this paper asks, however,
is that the name be signed to written
communications, not for publication,
but as a guarantee of good faith.
1t is also probable that in many fam
lilies there are ancient articles whose
origin dates back more than 100 years.
We would be glad to mention such relics
together with brief history of them.

Elm err Ryd

a very pretty wedding took place at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. s. w. Elmer,
of Addison, on Wednesday evening,
Sept. 80, when their daughter, Mary
johnson, was joined in marriage with
Eben Child Ryder, of New Haven.
The affair was simply and beautifully
arranged. Soon after the appointed
hour, half past seven, Mrs. Hortense
Drake Hoyt stepped out into the midst
of the room and without accompaniment
sang, with delightful taste and effect
the familiar song, 30 Promise Mev'
The bride and groom, who were present
in the group surrounding her, as the last
notes melted away, quietly took their
places before the officiating clergyman,
Rev. T. A. Carlson, of Shoreham, and
in a very brief aud simple service were
pronounced husband and wife.
Miss Elmer was the last of a large
family of children to be married from
the old home, and nothing but her mag
nificent customary good cheer saved the
occasion from gloom. AS it was, the
large concourse of guests, of which
there were more than seventy, spent a
memorably pleasant evening that will
leave the last wedding in the Elmer
home very bright spot in memory.
May that good cheer abide in the house
as well as follow the happy couple that
went forth from it on this occasion. +
