DROWN IN COLLISION Ar SEA
Steamer Columbia Sunk Off Eu-
rcka, Cal, by Lumber Schooner.
EDguIfed in Ten Minutes, Carrying
With Her Many of Her Passen-
gers and Crew.

Eureka, Cal-Fifty persons, the
majority of whom were, passengers,
went down with the coasting steam
ship Columbia when the vessel was
rammed by the lumber steamer San
Pedro, in Shelter Cove, off this port.
There were 1879 passengers and sixty
officers and men aboard the ship, and
107 passengers and thirty-seven
members Of the crew were landed
here. by the steamship George e. Ell
der, which also towed in the San Pc
dro. almost a total wreck, and with
her afterdeck awash. Only the Ium-
Der cargo of the San Pedro kept her
afloat
1t was reported that there we're
.forty-six survivors in vessel headed
for San Francisco. One report is
that these persons were picked up
from lifeboats, but this is looked
upon as improbable, as the captain of
the San Pedro reports four lifeboats
launched from the Columbia were
overloaded and swamped Captain
Doran, of the Columbia, went down
with his ship.

sengers and many of her crew were
asleep in their cabins and hunks.
Captain Doran, it is said, shouted fol
the San Pedro to hold her bow in the
cut in the Columbia to prevent an
overpowering thrush of water But
as quickly as possible the San Pedro
was backed away. and the water
rushed through gap ten feet across.
Doran was on the bridge and he was
master of himself until his Sip sank
under him. 1t is said that he at.
tempted to, hold the crew to duty by
threatening to use revolver, and
one report has it that he shot a mutt
nous sailor. Men on the San Pedro
heard Doran giving orders almost to
the last moment. His voice carried
distinctly through a megaphone, and
he could be heard saying:
"The women and children must go
first. You towards, give tie women
and children a chance"
But his cool bravery was in vain.
for Doran was forced to see the -four
1ifeboats overturned by the weight OF
men caring only for their own chance
of life. It is understood that the life
RATS were overturned in exactly the
same way. One life raft was thrown
overheard from the San Pedro, and
about a dozen passengers managed t.
reach it. The women saved were
picked up by dories from the San Pc
dro.

CARE OF BEDDING.

Few people take proper care of
bedding. 1t is a rock on which many
good housekeepers go to pieces. To
begin with the mattress: In France
and Germany they are remade every
spring. In how many houses in
America is it done? 1t is considered
too expensive to send them to the
shops, so they remain in the same
condition for years, perhaps, and we
get SO used to lumpy beds that we
accept them as one of the necessary
evils of life. But if we cannot afford
to have them remade every year, we
at least can take pains to keep them
fresh. AS soon as mattress is made
it should be enclosed in cover of
unbleached sheeting. This will pro-
tect it from dust and the sheeting
should be removed and washed at
least once year. Whenever a room
is not likely to be used for some time
the mattress should be lifted from
the bedstead, so that the air can
reach it on all sides. 1t seriously in
jures good hair mattress to keep it
for long without proper airing, and
every mattress in regular use should
be turned at least once week. To
wash bed ticking rinse it we'll in cold
water to which has been added some
permanganate of potash. This will
make it perfectly sweet.-Pittsburg
Press.

FARMER KILLS THREE.
Uses Axe ON Son, Wife and Aged
Friend-Finally Shot.

Nuncia, Mich.-Henry Scutcheon
d farmer, about fifty years old, living
near this village, ran amuck with an
axe, killing his invalid son, his wife
and George Aiming, her foster father
and his friend. Scutcheon was later
shot by Henry Mcclellan, a neighbor,
whom he had also attacked.
Scutcheon attacked his son with no
warning, as far as is known. He
crushed the boys head frightfully.
When his wife interfered he chased
her, screaming, to the road, where he
knocked her down with his axe. He
then rushed back to the house and
murdered her foster father, who was
over seventy.
Next he tried to kill himself. He
gashed his throat and wrists with a
razor and took some paris green. His
wounds did not weaken him and the
poison did not take immediate effect.
When Scutcheon found that his
wife was in the Mcclellan home alive
he smashed window with his axe.
jumped through it and again attacked
her. This time he crushed her skull.
He then went home, but when Nc
Clellan returned came out and started
over toward him, saying, II want you,
too"
II will shoot IL you come across
the road" replied Mcclellan, who
had armed himself with shotgun.
Despite the warning Scutcheon
came across and Mcclellan killed him.

PRESERVING sTRAwBERRGEs.

A housekeeper says that for years
past she has preserved strawberries
without cooking, and with entire sue
cess, thus: The fruit must be fresh
and in perfect condition. and all
utensils must be absolutely clean and
the jars or glasses sterilized by
scalding. Mash together with sill
yer fork equal quantities of fruit
and sugar and let it stand until the
sugar is thoroughly dissolved. Then
put into jelly glasses or pint jars,
filling them to the brim, and leave
uncovered and exposed to the sun
for two days, putting them in cool,
dry place over night. Seal and keep
in cool, dry place. The flavor of
the berries is like fresh ones, and
the jam is rich and delicious.
