PLUNGES BOW FIRST
Steamer Strikes on Rocks and
Thirteen Men Drown.

NORTH SYDNEY, N. S., May 90
The worst marine disaster in the his
tory of the ST. Lawrence river coal
trade occurred today off Capt North,
the northernmost point of Cape Breton,
when the British steamer Turret Bay,
laden with coal and bound from Sgd
ney to Montreal, struck on the rocks
off st. Paurs island and sank in deep
water twenty minutes later causing
loss of thirteen lives. Only nine men
from a crew of twenty-five were saved.
The dead:
J. w. HAYDEN, captain. HI
M. A. MCARA, first officer.
G. F. GRAY, second officer.
w. H. ADAMS, chief engineer.
H. S. MATTHEWS, second engineer.
GEORGE JOHNSON, boatsWain, to-
gether with the steward, name un-
known; cook, messroom boy, two fire.
men, seaman and a helper.
The steamer struck near southwest
light about $50 o'clock this morning.
A dense fog prevailed and the sea was
running mountain high. Almost inn
mediately the Turret Bay backed off
into deep water, but sank within twen-
ty minutes.
The crew attempted to cut the boats
clear, but the vessel plunged down,
bow first, carrying every man aboard
with her. Some of the men struggled
to the surface and clung to floating
wreckage. Fourteen persons We're TAX
en- off by the life saving crew, but five
of them died before reaching the ISL
and.

DENVER, Col, May 20.-A cloud
burst at the head of the Cache Ia
Poudre river caused that stream to
overflow its banks and reports indi-
cate that great damage has been
caused by the flood. The dam which
holds the water of Livingston lake,
sixty-five miles above Fort Collins,
broke, and this added volume of water
swept down the Cache la Poudre,
practically wiping out the towns of
Livermore and La Porte, respectively
fourteen and three miles above Fort
Collins. 1t is reported that one person
was drowned at the former place
At Fort Collins the Russian settle
ment, consisting of about 800 families,
is inundated. Wagon bridges between
Fort Collins and Greeley have been
washed away, and the Colorado &
Southern railroad bridge at Timnath,
about midway between the two towns,
wrecked. The Cache la Poudre river
runs through one of the most thickly
settled and richest agricultural dis
tricts of Colorado. A large portion of
the northern part of the state is irri-
gated from this stream, and immense
reservoirs have been constructed to
store the water.

ALBANY, N. Y, May 2O.-The sem
sational results of raids by the Albany
police last night and today upon
resort in South Lansing street, in
tended to break up a "growler gang"
were believed until tonight to afford a
sequel to the recent mysterious raid
upon the family tomb on the old Liv-
ingston estate below Hudson.
A collection of jewelFy of intrinsic
value running into many thousands of
dollars and of priceless value as heir
LOOMS was found upon the person of
Thomas King, one of the vagrants, and
Concealed about the house.
The arrival of Chief of Police Maloy,
of Tivoli- Hudson, tonight exploded
the tomb. robbery theory, but brought
to light the fact that the family resi-
dence of Gen. Frederic de Peyster at
Tivoli was looted Monday night, and
Chief Maloy identified practically all
of the booty as belonging to the De
Peyster family. From him it was
learned that this is the third robbery
of the house. Upon the last occasion,
he said, $4,000 worth of jewelry was
taken.
The loot recovered includes two or
marked with names, monograms or in
itials of the De Peyster and Livingston
families, which intermarried, or with
those of ancestors. Most conspicuous
is a pair of beautiful cameo bracelets
of heavy linked gold. There is a mag
nificent hairpin of mother of pearl set
with pearls and diamonds, a necklace
of matchless Florentine mosaic, strung
On golden chain of finest workman
ship, which was found in an ash heap.
There are also bracelets, lockets, rings,
brooches, embossed silver toilet arti-
cles, hand mirrors, carved coral orna-
mentA several breastpins containing
braided hair. one of them surrounded
by large and valuable pearls, and a
pair of f1ligree earrings in the form OF
punches of grapes.
In addition, the police have found
in the local pawnshops valuable arti-
cles. Some had been pawned for SO
cents and 81. A diamond brooch
brought 50. Chief Maloy said it was
now known that no jewelry was en-
tombed with the beautiful Lady Mary.

In the United States court at New
ark, N. j., was commenced yesterday
the suit brought by e. H. Hartman
and Wfnslow S. Pierce against the
Northern Securities company, a suit in
which the plaintiffs ask the federal
court to grant an injunction restrain
ing the Northern Securities company
from carrying out its proposed plan for
the distribution of railroad stocks held
by the defendant company, and which
it is compelled to distribute because of
the decision of the United States SUI
preme court holding the organization
of the Securities company illegal. The
suit is almost identical to the suit
brought in the federal court in st. Paul
by Mr.. Hartman, which was dismissed
by the court after a hearing. The only
difference in the cases is that the
Northern Pacific Railroad company is
made one of the parties defendant to
the present action.
/ Before the case was fairly begun at
Newark yesterday Attorney Thatcher.
representing the bondholders of the
/ Oregon ShortsLine5 appeared and asked
permission to protest against the con-
tinuance of the suit on the ground that
the bondholders of the Oregon Short
Line were perfectly satisfied with the
plan of distribution of Northern Sc
curities stock. Attorney Thatcher said
the bondholders did not care to inter-
yene in the suit, but desired to make a
statement, that the court might know
that they did not favor the action of
their trustees in opposing the plan.

STREET CAR COMPANY
HAS ITSELF SUED AGAIN
En- net M. Fry Begins What Bears All Earmarks of a
eCond Friendly Suit Against the Street Railway
Company Plaintiff Objects to Having Lot Bought
Late as April 26 Damaged by Car Line Extension

Practically all doubt as to the gen
uineness of the suit recently brought
in the federal court against the street
railway company by H. D. Bailey, of
Superior, Wis, was removed yesterday
when a case almost identical to the
Bailey suit, except that it involves the
legality of the Phalen park extension
instead of the Rondo extension, was
filed in the district court
The plaintiff in the suit filed against
the company yesterday is Emmet M.
Fry, who alleges to be the owner of a
lot on Maryland street, in front of
which the Phalen park extension will
pass Mr.. Fry, through his attorney,
Morton BarrowS, sets forth in his COM
plant that the street railway company
has commenced the construction of a
double-track line which is to be con-
structed along Maryland street, pass
ing in front of the property owned by
the plaintiff 1t is charged that the
company has no authority of law to
extend this line and that it will dam
age tFe plaintiffs property in the sum
of $2,500.
The complaint embraces ordinance
one under which the street railway is
regulated, and under the terms of
which the company will be compelled
to pay a per cent gross earnings tax
when certain conditions arise. 1t is
claimed that the extension is not au-
thorized by any portion of this ordi-
nance.
Complaints Are Duplicates.
Except that it protests against the
extension of the Phalen Park line, the
complaint is worded identically the
same as that brought by Mr.. Bailey,
of Superior, against the company in the
federal court, and is believed by Cor
poration Attorney Michael and others
to be a suit instigated by the street
railway people for the purpose of test
ing the right of the city TO enforce the
gross earnings law, 1t being the desire
of the company to have the matter
tested, if possible, without the inter-
Vention of the city Both suits are
believed to be friendly, suits, brought
at the request of the street car COM
pany
In support of this contention a num-
ber of interesting facts are brought out
by an investigation of the plaintiffs in
the two suits.
Mr.. Fry, the plaintiff in the suit filed
yesterday, is said to be a resident of
Chicago An investigation discloses the
fact that he is dealer in street rail-
way supplies, that he has transacted
business with the st. Paul Street Rail-
way company and that when in ST.

Mr.. Barrows is Sincere.


Mr.. Barrows, when seen last night
said he did not know Mr.. Fry except
that he knew him to be interested in
the sale of street railway supplies. He
could not say whether or not the suit
was friendly one, but stated that 50
far as he was concerned it was not.
Mr.. Barrows said he had entered into
the suit in good faith.
In the suit brought in the federal
court by H. d. Bailey, of Superior, it
develops, that Mr.. Bailey is connected,
in Superior, with the legal firm that
handles the business of the Superior
street railway company operated by
Mr.. Lowry, president of the ST. Paul
Company.
Corporation Attorney Michael was
not inclined to discuss the suits when
seen yesterday. Mr.. Michael also re-
fused to say whether or not the city
would intervene in either of the suits,
although he intimated that the rights
of the city would be fully protected so
far as the gross earnings tax is con-
cerned
1T is not at all surprising that the
street railway company should have
such suits brought" said Mr.. Michael.
They contemplate expending large
sums in improvements in st. Paul, and
before they go to any great expense
they want the gross earnings tax
tested
The Fry case will undoubtedly have
its first round in the courts within a
very few days, since application has
been made for an injunction restrain
ing the company from proceeding with
the work of extending the Phalen park
line. The suit proper will probably be
heard at the June term.

BRIGHT WISCONSIN IDEA.
How the BADGER state Works TO In

At the Worlds Fair.

81. Louis, Aug. 1S.-That the Wis
corsic idea" of advertising the attrae-
tons of the Worlds fair is bearing
fruit is evidenced by the increase iE
the attendance from that state. Each
day more and more visitors from the
Badger state arrived at the exposition
and the register shows that an average
of 300 each day has been attained.
The system which Secretary Grant
Thomas and Mrs. Emma j. Walsh, the
hostess of the building, have been car
rying out, is by requesting many Of the
visitors 10 write a personal letter to
their home paper or to friends The
commission supplies the necessary
writing material and postage. SO per-
sistently has this plan been followed
that the increase in attendance is pos
sibly more marked :han the attendance
