(By the Associated Press. }

Costa Rica, was badly damaged in the
harbor of New York today as the result
of collision with the British steamer
Joseph Merryweather, bound out for
Baltimore and Cork. Ireland, The Allie
gheny was struck on the starboard side
and a huge hole torn in her. She took
water rapidly and soon her bow was un-
der water. She lay near Liberty Island
The passengers, many of them in panic,
were rescued by a passing tug, and
brought to the city. The crew remained
on board and gathered at the stern, which
was not submerged.
The collision occurred during a thick
foe.
The Merryweather stood by until the
passengers had been rescued. Her stem
was stove in and she anchored of the

M0BS RIDDEN DOWN
Strikers and Easter Pilgrims
in 3 FrightfuI Crush
at Rome.
(By the Associated Press.)

Rome, April S.-The aspect of Rome
was completely changed early today. The
gay crowded city of yesterday seemed
dead No cabs passed through the streets
and even the street cars which ran at
long intervals were escorted by police
and were almost empty, as the people
feared to ride in them on account of the
threats of the strikers. The shops were
open but the shutters were up as the
proprietors intended to be ready for any
eventuality.
The whole city was occupied by troops.
Detachmsnts of cavalry were posted on
the squares and special details of sol
diers and police were stationed around
the Vatican so as to prevent any at
tempt against the Papal Palace.
Unimportant encounters between the
strikers and troops took place during the
morning, the former wishing to hold
meetings, which were forbidden or reach
the center of the city but the strikers
were easily dispersed by cavalry charges.
Five hundred French pilgrims arrived
here today and had some startling ex-
periences. The party arrived at the Gar
ibaldi Bridge just as a detachment Of
cavalry charged mob and scene of in
describable confusion cnsued. With
screams and shouts the pilgrims in their
efforts to escape were scattered in all
directions
About the middle of the day the strik-
ers succeeded in gathering in threaten
ing numbers on the Cordo Vittorio EN-
manuele, almost in the center of the
city, and detachmonts of troops charged,
fred three volleys and dispersed them.
About a dozen men were reported to
have been wounded. Many strikers were
arrested during the day.
The Pope was much interested in the
particulars of the strike. He said:
'It is a sword with two edges"
He also expressed sorrow at the dam
age done the interests Of the city and
also because the strike intcrferes with
the religious ceremonies of Easter.

(By the Associated PressD
Philadelphia, Pa, April S.-Three per-
sons met death in Monroe street tene-
ment house fire today and two others
were severely but not fatally burned.
The dead:
YETTA BROWNSTEIN, 30 vars old.
ROSIE BROWNSTEIN, years old.
c. ELLA BROWNSTEIN, 4 years old.
Injured: Annie Brownstein, aged 40
years; Lazarus Brownstein, aged sc years.
The fire was caused by the overturning
of an oil stove in one of the rooms on the
second floor occupied by the family of
Morris Goldberg The Brownstein's $
rooms were on the third floor. Escape
by way of the stairs was cut off by the
flames which spread so rapidly that the
young woman and the two children who
were in a rear room, were burned to
death, despite the heroic efforts of the
firemen to rescue them. Annie and Laz-
arus BroWnstein, who occupied the front
room, were carried down ladders to safe
ty, but when the firemeH returned for the
others they found the room in which
they were imprisoned a mass of flames.
The three victims had made their way
to one of the windows where death over
took them.

ANOTHER sPURT By THE FLOOD.
The Crlbbing at the Hymelia Crevasse Burst
by the Waters.
(Bv the Associated Presa.l }

Washington, April Especial river
bulletin:
The Mississippi River at Vieksburg has
been stationary since Tuesday night and
has fallen 2 of foot at New Orleans.
Fifty feet of the cribbing around the
crevasse near Lucy. La. were washed
out today, but hopes are entertained that
the break can be closed.
In the Vicksburg district the fall will
continue at an increased rate in the
neighborhood of Arkansas City and
Greenville, but very slowly at Vicksburg
for about a week longer, when the decline
will begin to be more rapid.
The heavy rains for the past two days
over the Tennessee watershed have caused
a rapid rise to set in in that river and
flood warnings have been issued accord
ingly Danger line stages are expected
at Chattanooga on Friday and in the
lower river a day or two later.
New Orleans, La, April S.-With the
blowing out of forty feet of cribbing at
the Hymelia crevasse today, the situation
there has again become serious and fears
are expressed that unless the damage
can be Immediately repaired other por-
tiOns of the 5000 feet of work Will be
endangered by the strain placed upon it.
Although material was hurried to the
scene as soon as the piling gave way and
work fastened on the Horseshoe started
near where the cribbing yielded, little
headway was made and the news late in
the day was far from encouraging. The
disaster occurred al the point where a
barge yesterday afternoon collided with
the cribbing, the damage done proving
more serious than was feared at first.
The water is going through the gap at
a terrific rate and there is alarm lest
other seconds cribbing give way. while
efforts are being made to mend this
break.
The river when the government reading
was taken this morning was 2O.2, fall
of tenth from the day before. In the
evening the gauge marked POI, an addi-
ticnal decline.

Especial to News and Observer
Edenton, n c., April S.-Yesterday
morning at about one thirty the fire
alarm was sounded. 1t was hard to get
the people aroused, but when they did
get out they worked like beavers The
large saw mill of Mr.. Miles Brown was
on fire and the saw mill part of his plant
was entirely consumed, as well as the
grist mill, on which there was no inSur-
ance. His loss, so Mr.. Brown informs the
writer, is about $4,000. He will go to
work at once to rebuild.
A negro by the name of McCase, who
was witness in a case before Mayor
Wilson at Elizabeth City today dropped
dead as soon as he left the witness stand
1t is thought the negro had heart trouble
and that the excitement of examination
on the stand caused his death. The case
was about one boy having killed another
on the street with a brick.
The cold snap has damaged potatoes
very much and beans not so much.

ON WRECKERS' TRAIL
Southern's Detectives Know

Their Names.
Especial to News and Observer)

Charlotte, N. c., April THE train
wreckers who succeeded in derailing No
81, the Southern's fast mail train. one
mile below Blacksburg one week ago to-
day, are known to Detective Haney.
This startling piece of news was told
your correspondent this morning by one
who knows whereof he speaks. Last
Saturday Detective Haney concluded his
work at Blacksburg, and the evidence
that be had been able to secure pointed
strongly to the guilt of two white men
who reside near the knitting mill at
Blacksburg. Monday Mr.. Haney and
another detective of the Southern went
to the homes of the men who were sus-
pected and ascertained that they had
gone, their families knew not where
As soon as these two men learned that
the cause of the wreck of No. 81 was be-
ing investigated they became very ner-
vous, displayed some knowledge of the
affair. While they were all along under
suspicion. there was no tangible evidence
soon as this was secured the men got
wind of it and departed for parts un-
known.
The Southern refuses to divulge the
names of either of the men who are sus-
pectcd of the crime. The roads reason
for keeping quiet is that the men can
more easily be located.

Hanceville, Ala. April S.-A tornado
passed over Hopewell Settlement, one

O'Clock this morning, and as a result
jured and dozen are more or less seri-
ously hurt, while the destruction to
property is heavy. The dead:
HENRY MCCOY and three children.
c. c. ODEN and three children.
JOHN GRIFFIN wife and son.
Fatally Injured: Two children OF
Henry Mccoy and two children of c. c..
Oden
Seriously injured: Mrs. Oden and child
and Mrs. Mccoy.
Among the less seriously hurt are X.
G. Quick and family of five. The names
of the other injured have not been aScer-
tanned. The storm came from the south
east, and its roar was so terrific that it
woke many people, some of whom fed
from their houses in time to escape
death by having the houses blown down
on them.
Buildings were tossed about like paper
boxes and several structures were blown
a hundred yards or more.
The body of Mccoy who was a promi-
nent farmer was blown 200 yards and
landed in a sand pit. The house of Mrs.
John o. Morton was blown down, but the
family escaped by crawling under the
bed while the timber and brick fell on
top of the bed. breaking the force of the
fall. The houses of the Ogden. and
Griffin families were smashed to splint-
ers. and it seems marvellous that any of
them escaped death. Trees were up
rooted in all directions, and many were
blown across the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad track, delaying trains for
a time.
The roar of the storm was heard at
Hanceville. where it awoke many people,
but no damage was done here. AS soon
as the destruction wrought became known
here rescuers hurried to the scene TO
give attention to the dead and wounded
The death list at noon stood at H. but
it is possible that it may be larger as
some of the bodies found were blown
some distance.
