ing in a splintered mass of debris. The
accident occurred just few rods from

from the appearance of the clouds that

Realizing that the train would encounter
the tornado if it proceeded, the en-
gineer quickly shut off steam and came
to a halt The approaching tornado,
when about mile away to the south
west and coming northeast, suddenly
swerved farther towards the north, and
the train was directly in it's path. In

in a wild endeavor to rush beyond the

Danish Steamer Norge Sinks Off Coast of

London, July 5.-Early in the morn
ing of June rs the Danish steamer Norge,
having on board TIA persons, all OF
whom, with the exception of the crew,
II in number, were Danish, Swedish,
Norwegian and Finnish emigrants,
struck on Rockall reef, about 29O miles
Off the west coast of Scotland, and sank
in a few minutes. 1t is known that 145
persons have been saved, but there is
little hope that any of the G29 persons
who are still missing are alive. Accord
ing to the survivors, the moment the
vessel struck the engines were reversed
and the Norge came back into deep
water. The rent in her bows was so
large, however, that she began to fill
rapidly. The vessels eight boats we're

women and children were put into them
first. There was heavy sea running
and in lowering the boats one was
smashed.

cued Scandinavians aboard. Passing
