Freight Steamer Trojan Receives
Crushing Blow From Ma
coochee in Dense Fog.
1ny AssoeIatea fress.)

BoSTOt, MASS, january 23.-News OF
the loss OF the freight steamer Trojan.
of the Boston and Philadelphia steamship
Ccmpany'e line, In collision with the ocean
Line steamer Nacoochee. in the dense
fog Mt the entrance to the Vineyard
Sound Sunday, was brought here to-day
by the Nacoochee, which arrived thirty
six hours late, having on board the Iro-
jams crew. The accident happened sun
day morning while both vessels were
feeling their way about Vineyard Sound
lightship, endeavoring to locate that ves-
sci by her whistle, and from that signal
tc lay their course through the dangerous
waters of the sound. The Trojan had
heard the iightships signal. hut her cap
tain deeming 1t too hazardous TO proceed
on account of the fog, was about TO come
TO anchor when he heard the whistle
of n steamer. He promptly sounded his
own whistle. but moment later found
his vessel fairly impaled upon the sharp
iron prov OF n big black vessel, which
proved to be the Nacoochee. II was
apparently almost instantly that the Tro-
jan had received blow which would
Send her to the bottom, and before ex-
animation could he made by the officers,
the water had rushed into her engine
room. put out her fires, and, aided by
shifted cargo. had given her u dangerous
list.
The Nacoochee struck her almost fairly
sbean on the port side, and her bow en-
tered the hull almost to the very doors
of her boilers The captain OF the Nacoo-
chez Immediately ordered his boat fun
speed ahead. and in this way forced his
steamer hard in the opening. While the
craft We're thus held together the captain
and the twenty seven men of the Trojan
succeeded in climbing over the bow OF
Nacoochee to safety. although seventeen
OF them had been asleep below when the
accident happened. Before the last Of
them had reached the deck the Trojan
had listed so badly that they We're unable
to obtain foothold on the inclined plank
ing. and reached safety only after lines
had been thrown them by the crew of the
Nacoochee. Water had reached the waist
of the Trojan's engineer before he could
rush from the engine room. When the
last man had been rescued the Nacoochee 4
backed away and the Trojan sauk.
Both vessels We're bound northward for
Boston, the Nacoochee having sailed from
Savannah Thursday night and the Trojan
from Philadelphia Friday. The Trojan
had on board general cargo. but no pas
sengers. The NacGochee also carried n
valuable general cargo, as well as- seven
passengers.
The Nacoochee was only slightly dam
aged. No attempt has been made to
place the responsibility for the acciderf..
The Trojan was valued at s250.00o, and
her cargo at about the same amount.

ORDINANCE DOWNED.
Finance Committee Rejects Law
Eight Banks Wanted Passed.

The Committee on Finance has acted
upon the ordinance which eight of the
nine banks designated as city deposit
tories, asked for. These eight banks
claimed that there should be dlstribu-
ton among the depository banks OF
the city's deposits different from that
now In vogue and asked the passage OF
the ordinance published In yesterday
Times-Dispatch requiring the treasurer
to divide deposit of city funds in all
the depository banks, the amounts each
bank to receive to be proportioned on
basis Of taxes paid by said banks.
The Finance Committee to whom tho
Council referred the proposed ordinance
thought the law too cu,nberson and de-
ciacd to return 1t 10 the Council with
the recommendation that It be ano,
passed.
The old system of leaving the name,

of the treasurer will remain In force.

.N0THER AND CHILD
Dit TEN by BULLDOG
Mrs. shope and Her Little

a Negro's Infuriated Dog.

Mrs. Mary Shope and her little daughter
Vergie, of Thirteenth an T Streets.
We're severely bitten last Saturday after
noon by a vicious bulldog belonging 10
q negro named Virus Brown. Their
wounds are very painful but both are
able to walk ahouttthe house, and are ex-
pected to recover, speedily.
Mrs Shope was visiting at the home
of Mrs. Christopher, q neighbor, Satur-
day afternoon when the bulldog rushed
into the kitchen. Without any warning
the dog Jumped at the child and fasten-
Ing It's teeth In the little girls leg, tore
the flesh away. The canine seemed bent
on killing his victim. for he shook the
child as though it was a rat.
Mrs Shope who had an iron in her
hand. hit the dog over the head and the
blow partially stunned the animal. Then
with u plunge, the dog rushed at her and
bit her on the leg. Her screams brought
the assistance of Mr.. Christopher and
Mr.. Harry Miller. They fought the dog
OFF, and the negro, Brown, rushed for
his canine. Mr.. Miller, after looking at
Mrs, Shope, and her daughter who had
been bitten by the dog, was infatuated
and getting his revolver, emptied the
contents in the brain of the dog. The
negro protested against the killing of
his dog, saying he had never known him
TO bite any one before. But the protest
was In win. -

AS the report was finished. some one
suggested that an effort be made to

keep an infested orchard without proper
treatment. This aroused much discus
sion, all agreeing that some movement
should be made along this line. Professor
Phillips showed that the present appro-

board of supervisors rarely go above this
amount. 1t was finally moved and car

A paper is now being circulated among

out that Virginia is one of only three
States which compel physicians to Sc
