STEAMSHIP ST. LOUIS
HAS BEEN SIGHTED.
She Was Seen on Nantucket, Going
Dead Slow.


New York, Jan. 16.-Word reached
this city this evening that the Ameri-
can Line steamer st. Louis, from
Southampton, Jan. for New York,
was sighted off Nantucket lightship at
$40 p. m, going dead slow. Signals
were made to the south shoal light
ship, but owing to the fact that a
heavy gale was blowing, they were un-
inte'ligible.
The slow rate of speed at which the
st. Louis was travelling indicates that
unless she should be assisted, she will
not reach New York until late Satur-
day night. Appearances indicated that
the 81. Louis was short Of steam pow
er. and the signals were thought to
imply that trouble with her boilers had
been experienced.
Clement A. Griscom, Jr., said to-
night that the agents of the line had
heard nothing of the st. Louis be-
yond the fact that she had been sight
ed. 1t was not considered necessary,
he said, to dispatch a vessel to her as
sistance, as If aid be needed, the St.
Louis will have ample opportunity to
signal for 1t when she, arrives off Fire
Island.
lie does not expect that the st.
Louis will reach Sandy Hook before
tomorrow noon.

upon the location of the new Peabody

Athens, sent committee before the
trustees, urging the selection OF a site
on the Broad street front of the cam
pus and protesting against the location

settlement of the question.

the corner of Broad and Jackson
streets. Il will face the present IL
brary building. and will be 1870 feet
vide, by ninety feet deep.
1t is the wish OF Mr.. Peabody to

the night the girl disappeared, is re-
garded as an important witness for
the state. BY his testimony, Wilcox

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Accident at Thaimaan-No More Toy
Pistols for Brunswick.


Brunswick. Ca, Jan. 16.-An I'M
known white man was killed on the
Seaboard Air Line at Thalmann at an
early hour this morning by south
bound freight train. The body was ter
r.bly mangled, and it was almost i'm
possible to distinguish whether the
man was white or colored. Coroner
Jennings was photographed and imme-
diately summoned i jury and left the
city at 10 o'clock 70 hold an inquest.
+ There were no eye witnesses to the
killing, and it is not known how the
man met his death. but the supposition
is that he attempted to get on the
train and fell beneath the cars. He
carried pair OF dice, a comb and cup
in his pockets. The. coroner's jury did
not place rtny blasPe on the road for
the killing.
The Mayor and Council have passed
an ordinance prohibiting the sale, car
rying, or dischargfng of toy pistols in
the city. This action was taken by
Council on account of the many fatal
tiles that have occurred over the coun-
try during the past month, and a kick
was entered by a number of Bruns-
wick ladies against the sale of the
seemingly harmless toy.
The Brunswick Board of Trade, at
the meeting yesterday. passed a reso-
luton asking the5co- operation of other
seaport cities to assist Brunswick in
her effort to secure lightship off the
harbor. The secretary was instructed
to send copy of the resolution to the
Chambers of Commerce OF New York
and Boston and to a number of citi-
zens who can help the measure get
through Congress. Senator Clay and
Congressman Brartiey are also hard
at work for the hghtship, and it is
generally believed that it will be Sc
cured during the present session of
Congress. M

HOLDERS OF CLAIMS
OF THE CIVIL WAR.
Almost Had Them Referred to the
Court of Claims.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The House de-
voted the day to private war claims,
passing about twenty.
The two features of the day were the
defeat of a claim of r. F. Moody &.
Co. of Keokuk. Iowa, for the pay
ment of the amount deducted from
their contract for furnishing equip
ment to the Third Iowa Cavalry by
the famous commission which un-
earthed the army contract frauds in
st. Louis in 1868, and the fight of Mr..
Payne, the floor leader of the Repub-
leans, against an omnibus resolu-
ton to refer ninety Southern claims,
aggregating 100000 for stores and
supplies taken by the Union Army
during the Civil War, to the Court Of
Claims for finding of fact under the
Tucker act.
The combination in favor of the ON
nibus claims resolution was too strong
for Mr.. Payne, but on the final vote
the quorum failed. AS the previous
question has been ordered, the vote
on the adoption of the resolution will
be the first thing in order on the
