of disconnected attitude when she fatty
cOntradicted her testimony of last week

in the case from which the handwriting
experts for her husband argued that she
wrote the famous forty letters alleged to
have been written by her to tom" Ma
dine, the coachman correspondent in the
case. The sensation thus produced was
further heightened when David n. Car

Quincy OF the Diamond 10 lire Of steamers
lies grounded near Trempealoau on the
Wisconsin side of the river The earlier
reports Of the accident were rather ex-
HRgerated. There was no loss OF life.
neither was there any fire on the vessel.
A few of the passengers were taken to
La Crosse last night. but mos. Of them
we're brought to winona by a special train
on the Burlington road and transferred
here 90 regular northbound trains this
morning and continued on their Journey
to st. Paul.
The steamer ran onto a sandbar about
1890 last night, the exact reason for this
being unknown. Jack Rechtman and Jim
Rechtman, two OF the best pilots on, the
Mississippi we're in charge OF the pilot
house. The shock caused the hull to spring
a leak. The quincy was quickly backed
OF the bar, but It was seen It was settling
and 1t was headed Tor the Wisconsin shore.
Before this was reported the lights went
out, causing some transformation, but the
boat was pushed close to snore ana by
placing a yawl on the shore side passen-
gers were able to be taken off over the
gangplank.
A number of the passengers brought to
for st. Paul this nlorning and all speak
highly of the CONDUCT of the boats officers.
The ladies were taken of the steamer first
and then. when it was seen there was no
danger Of the QuincS settling further, most
OF the remaining nRsengers remained on
board until the relief train arrived few

steamer Fountain City responded to a tele-
phone call sent TO. La Crosse and brought
the baggage and some of the crew tc
Winona early this morning. Captain Nor
ris Killeen remained with the boat and will
make arrangements for having II raised
and repaired as soon possible. Efforts
made last night to stop the leak with tar.
paulin when the vessel was sinking proved
unavailing.

ally all the freight Is under water, includ
