PANIC ON SINKING BOAT.
Steamer Erastus Corning Goes Down
Off NorwaIk, Conn.

In a thick fog the steamer Erastus
Corning of the Starine Line, bound from
New Haven for New York with thirty
passengers and a heavy cargo of freight
struck on the rocks OF Cops Island, just
outside Norwalk harbor, Conn. A hole
two feet square was stove in the side of
the steamer and within FIVE minutes she
sank in fifteen feet of water. The shock
of the collision and the cries of the crew
aroused the passengers, who rushed on
deck in panic, most of them thinly
clad. One woman jumped overheard, but
was rescued by a member of the crew.
During the confusion six of the passen-
gers cleared away small boat and left
the steamer, and they have not been
heard from since then. The boat con-
tanned two men and four women. Aside
from the missing party all the passen-
gers and crew arrived in South Norwalk
safely ON a tug and the passengers left
for New York by train. Some OF them
had no outer wraps and all were without
baggage, the vessel having filed with
water so quickly that they had barely
time to seize clothing and rush to the
deck. The Erastus Corning encountered
thick weather in the sound and was pro-
ceeding slowly when she suddenly went
on the rocks on Copps Island, about a
mile out of her usual course. The launch,
with some of the crew. was sent to
South Nolwalk for assistance and tug
was sent to the stranded steamer.

coed with his train under control, owing
to bad tretch Of track near Narwill,
alone doubtless prevented serious loss OF
life, for the limited vaas late md other

speed. The wreck was due to a mistake
by Engineer Crowell Of the freight train
in reading orders. He had been given

The aluminium money in circulation in
Iowa is not fiat money, as the dis
patches call it, but credit currency, and
one Of the most interesting illustrations
OF the capacity Of a community to sup
ply itself with the medium Of exchange,
unless thwarted by SOME pernicious Law,
says a western paper These half-1ol-
lars. quarters and dimes circulate freely,
not because OF the currency denOmina-
ton stamped on them. but because they
are redeemable at several on the more
important stores" One of the mer-
chants OF a farming town in Iowa devils
ed the scheme Ito increase the volume OF
money in circulation in the community
and mcre the crops. These aluminium
coins increase the volume OF currency,
inst as checks do. and are. in substance,
checks drawn by the merchants on them
selves instead Of their banks, and made
Of aluminium instead Of paper.

less to give up in response TO the impe-
rious master who is responsible for their
sad condition to-day. and in whom, de-
spite their sutferings, they will place inn
plicit faith. Their loyalty is marvellous.
The extent to which they have beg
CARED themselves is shown by tour of
that portion of Zion City in which dwell
the poorer workingmen and laborers. 1t
is bleak, desolate place in winter, for
the settlement rambes over great, un-
protected prairie that slopes to the
marshy shore of Lake Michigan. and is
open to the severe winds that come from
the north or east from over the big i'm
land sea.
Hundreds of the poorer families, the
persons employed in the big factories
men and women-live in the bleakest
part of the town. on the outskirts to-
ward the west, the middle of the great
prairie The homes of many of these
toilers are mere apologies for dwellings.
The walls of many are merely strips Of
tarred paper nailed to slender wooden
frames. But, worse than these shan
ties are the habitations of other Zionites,
simply frail canvas tents, with barely
room for a stove to cook on and a pallet
or shakedown. Still others, and they are
fairly numerous, are combinations of
tents and sheds, crudely constructed and
barely strong enough to withstand the
force of an ordinarily strong wind.
What a contrast to the wretched
makeshift of his lowly followers are the
conditions enjoyed by Dowie's deacons
and leaders, and the fine luxury with
which the general overseer has encom-
passed himself! The Elijah Hospine,
where some of Dowies councillors and
leaders live, is a comnodiOus structure,
the equal of many of the pretentious ho-
tells in Chicago Shiloh House, the resi-
dence of DR.. Dowie, is a three story dou-
BILE structure of brick ana wood, a man
sion that would be considered appropri-
ate in the most aristocratic residence
quarter Of Chicago. 1t contains over a
score of commodious rooms, furnished in
positive luxury, with all the modern con
veniences to be found in the homes of the
wealthy. Electricity and gas are used
for illumination and for other purposes
or servants there are fully a score all
in livery In the rear of Shiloh House
is large stable. in which are kept sew
eral stylish carriages and six horses Of
high breed.
Despite the threatening aspect of af-
fairs, the loyalty of Dowie's followers to
the reincarnated Elijah has not weaken
ed in the least. and those who have given
up all they have weep because they cfA
make no further sacrifices. having strip
ped themselves of absolutely everything
on which money could be realized.
