NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-The White
Star liner Republic. carrying 46l pas
sengers for winter cruise In the
mediterranean, was rammed by an un
known vessel. &c miles OF Nantucket
while feeling her way in the thick fog
early this morning. The passengers
were transferred from the Republic
10 the steamer Florida, OF the Italian
line, and taken to Boston. The Re-
public left New York yesterday after
noon.
Immediately after the strange YES
sci stove a huge hole in the Republic
starboard side amidships the distress
cd vessel flashed news OF the accident
TO steamers In all directions. The
Floride reached the scene in a short
time and other vessels followed. The
steamships Lorraine, of the French
line, and the Baltic, of the White Star
line. which were some distance from
the distressed steamer, announced by
wireless that they had gone to the
Republics rescue.
Wireless dispatches received In this
city today indicated that the Republic
was In an extremely perilous situation.
The first of these, from Capt. Sealby,
Of the disabled liner. was picked up
at Nantucket and sent to the Offices
of the White Star line. Ii stated that
immediate assistance was imperative.
The next message came from Capt.
Ransom, OF the Baltic. who stated that
lie was hurrying to the aid Of the Re
public. Shortly after this a wireless
came from Capt. Tournier, OF La Lor-
raine. II was as follows.
Received a wireless that Republic
Is in sinking condition somewhere
about As miles south OF Nantucket.
Am going to the rescue Of passengers
and crew. Have not yet ascertained
Republics exact location, but am now
taking bearings. II is difficult to To-
cate her owing to dense fog
The Republic left New York yester-
day afternoon on a winter cruise. Its
passengers were mainly westerners,
among them being Samuel Cupples, a
inultimillionaire merchant OF st.
Louis. The liner also carried five
hundred tons OF supplies for the Am
erican fleet These supplies were to
take the place Of those sent by the
fleet to the victims of the recent earth
quake In southern Italy.
The fog was encountered several
hours before the Republic neared Nan
tucket. and 1t was necessary to run at
reduced speed. The unidentified boat
Is said to have been going at almost
full speed when she was first seen
hearing down on the republic, not
more than 25 yards away on the star
board beam.
II was then impossible for the ap-
rroaching boat to slow down, or the
Republic to change her course and
avoid the crash.
Brave work Is said to have been
done by the crew in quieting the panic
stricken passengers. Several are said
to have been injured in the stampede
on the decks, and many women faint
ed. They were cared for by Surgeon
J. j. Marsh and DR.. Paolo Biliberti.

A Sad Accident.

A sad accident and death occurred
Monday evening at the home of Geo.
mckinley, near Keystone. Mr.. Me
Ginley had been dipping cattle and had
his dipping vat very nearly full of lime,
sulpher and water, and while George
and his men We're busily engaged at
work near the dipping plant. Mr. Me-
Ginley's little twenty months old boy
went into the runway and walked off
into the pool. He was missed few
minutes later and was found floating
in the vat. When discovered he was
still breathing but died before they got
him to the house. 1t is thought that
had the vat contained nothing but water
the little fellows life could have been
saved, but swallowing so much lime
and sulphur. made it impossible to bring
him, back to consciousness. -Ogalalla
