SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-The
steam schooner Santa Sarbara, which
left this port for Seattle yesterday,
went ashore early this morning on the
sharp rocks at Del Mar on the coast of
Mendocino county.
A heavy sea was running at the time.
but fortunately assistance was at hand
and the sixteen passengers were quiet
ly landed. They were brought to San
Francisco tonight on the tug Sea
Foam. The crew and officers remained
with the steamer. The cause of the
accident has not yet been made clear.
The steamer grounded at AIS a. M,
when all of the passengers were asleep,
and the first intimation they had of
trouble was when the steward awak-
ened them. None of the passengers
knew how the steamer ran ashore
They said that when they came on
deck it was dawn and there was suffi-
cient light for navigation.
The Santa Barbara is 600 tons and
valued at $4,000. She is owned by ].
r. Hanify of Sausalito Cal. Hanify
telephoned to this city tonight that
he had received news from Del Mar
that the Santa Barbara had been
pulled off the rocks and was being

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-There is
a bare possibility that the steamer Ala
media, which went on the rocks near
Fort Point yesterday, may be saved.
Capt. Metcalfe, the local representa-
tive of Lloyds today made an exam
ination of the stranded vessel and
tonight cautiously admitted that there
was some prospect of floating her.
Today the greater portion of the sal
vable freight was removed on lighters
and brought into the city. The work is
proceeding tonight. Ever since the
Alameda struck on the ledge during
the fog, the weather conditions have
been favorable. The sea is smooth and
the wind light 1t is conceded that
change to severe weather would mean
the immediate destruction of the
steamer.
From the fact that water pours in
and out of the hold with the chang
ing of the tide 1t is thought that her
bottom has been badly perforated. a
diver will tomorrow make an examin-
alton of the extent of the damage done
and then plans for floating the steam
er will be put into effect. Thousands
of persons visited the scene Of the dis
aSter.

Pretty Bathers Forced to Wait Until
Farmer Brings Apparel From
Home
Special to The Herald.


INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 1.-While six
young girls of Otterbein were disport-
ing in abbreviated bathing costumes
in the Wabash river yesterday a herd
of hungry COWS descended on an inn
provised dressing room which the girls
had constructed of shawls on the river
bank
These were real hungry cows. and
they were not content merely with
grazing on the grass that fringed the
bank. They plunged right into the
dressing room and proceeded to make
the place look as if 1t had been hit by
a Kansas cyclone.
Pretty frocks were devoured, dainty
lingerie were torn, straw hats were
swallowed with one gulp, as If they
were real hay, and not enough clothes
were left to dress a ballet girl when
the girls appeared and interrupted the
feast.
Shrieks for help filled the air. A
nearby farmer, hearing the outcry, ran
rescue some heroine from a road viii
lain.
Stand back" cried the girls. Don't
you dare to come here!"
The girls plunged into the river and
from there held a long distance CONVEX
sation with the farmer.
He promptly drove off the COWS and
then made a two mile trip afoot to
their homes, where he got new clothes
for them, and returned in time to avert
the necessity of a bevy of mosquito
bitten lassies walking home in barrels

and, with the other, yanking his
watch chain-"You'll be robbed"

then pointing to the door-"The drinks
here will choke you"

on the back of the other-"The steak
is tough"

WEST NEWTON, Pa, Oct. 1.-"What
are you doing around here?" thun-
dered John Williams, wealthy farmer
near here, when he saw George Keck,
formerly one of his hands, drive up 10
his gate.
"I've come for my wife," said Keck.
Your what? You haven't any wife
around here" said the farmer.
"Oh, yes, I have" answered Keck.
your Katie is my wife, and I've come
to take her with me-"
Katie, the 20-year-old daughter of the
farmer, and the belle of the neighbor-
hood, recently returned from school,
stepped forward and admitted that she
and Keck had slipped away from the
parental home three months ago and
been married.
Williams rushed to the corn crib and
took down the old family shotgun. He
blazed away, and there was a scream
from Katie. Some of the shot struck
her right arm. Covering Keck with
the remaining barrel Williams locked
Katie up in the smokehouse and drove
Keck from the place.
The next morning Keck returned.
He brought back a dozen of his
friends, all armed. Katie was still
locked up in the smokehouse, and her
mother was with her. Williams was
soon overpowered and the two women
were set free. Katie said she would
accompany her husband, and her
mother decided that where Katie went
she also would go.
The party drove away leaving Will
liams in a rage. He threatens to dis
own both his daughter and his wife.
Keck is twice as old as Katie and has
always been a poor farmland. His
bride was to be sole heir to her fathers
big fortune.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 1.-The 500
Line passenger train from the east,
leaving the Union Passenger station,
collided with a Chicago Great Western
fast stock train at the North street
viaduct.
The force of the collision sent five
Of the passenger cars down twenty
flve-foot embankment. One passenger
is dead and five We're seriously in
jured, while a score or more were
slightly bruised
That no more were killed or injured
is due to the fact that the train was
nearly empty, having discharged the

is in a critical condition.
Twenty were treated at the union
depot by surgeons and nearly all of
them were able to go to hotels or con-
tinue their journey to Minneapolis.
W. E. Haskell, who is among those
slightly injured, formerly owned the
Minneapolis Times, but is now con-
nected with a Boston newspaper.
The direct cause of the accident was
the failure of the airbrakes on the
stock train to work. The 500 Line
passenger train had just left the depot
for Minneapolis and was crossing the
Chicago Great Western tracks, about
four blocks east of the station. The
track at this point runs along high
embankment. The fast Great Western
stock train coming along at a pretty
good speed, struck the passenger train
in the middle. The Pullman coaches
were hurled over the embankment,
landing upside down in a wrecked
heap, twenty-five feet below.
The wreckage caught fire but the
flames were promptly extinguished. A
squad of police and all the hospital
ambulances along with a large corps
of surgeons were on the spot in a
short time and the injured were quick
