The two examiners will sit together
at every session of the hearings after
questions of rates and rebates is taken
up. owing to the fact that much testi-

at Washington, Cleveland, Chicago, and

Taken Passagt Vent Down in Aat. hor-Reaches New York Safely Af. ter Most Eventful Voyage.

Adolph Bluthenthal, i member of the firm of kast0r and Bluthenthal, of this city, arrived at New York Saturday night after most thrilI- ing and exciting journey across the Atlantic ocean and during which several thousand passengers on the steamer Kaiserin Auguste Victoria. which left Bremen about ten days ago had a narrow escape from death.
 It was the second narrow escape of the Pine Bluff merchant since his departure from this city two months and half ago. He went to Frankfort Germany where he at tended the golden wedding of his parents. with other members of the family from various parts of this country and Europe. MT. Bluthen thai was preparing to depart from Bremen ten days ago when his steamer The Kaiser Wilhelm H. sank in the harbor there, before any of the passengers went aboard her. They were transferred to the Victoria and it was while crossing the Atlantic that this big ocean yes sel collided with another steamer and had q narrow escape from going down with its mammoth human cargo
 MT Bluthenthal was aecompan jed by his sister-in-1aW and two ne phews from Wilmington N. C. He will leave New York for Pine Bluff today or tomorrow
 The Associated Press gives the following account of the thrilling sea accident
 wireless dispatch received in New York today from the sreamr kaiserin Auguste Victoria gives the details of the collision with a schooner four hours after the steam CT left Cherbourg,
 When the crash came the pas sengers of whom there were many on board, rushed in alarm to the deck in night attire. The dense fog, the doleful blasts of the fog horn, the cries of the women and the oh hn Nf man sailors for their posts at the lifeboats made a scene never to be forgotten.
 Captain Ruser. who was on the bridge, brought the huge liner to standstill and quickly ascertained that there was no danger,
 It was found however, that the schooner had struck against the lin- CT so heavily that twelve feet of the promenade deck railing was smashed and number of pOrtholes dismantled and a large part of the steamers side dented and scraped The fog was almost binding, but the schooner was seen to fade away un- der full sail minus a boWsprit and jib boom. Then Captain Ruser steered about to find the disabled stranger, but a three hours search revealed no trace of her,
 Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mir and Mrs Claus Spceckles, Maurice Untermyer, Robert Edeson, Ethel Levy and Otto Kahn are among the prominent tourists aboard the steamer who witnessed the exct- ing incident
