TWO STEAMERS IN COLLISION
Argentine Steamer Colombia Ram
med Excursion Steamer Which
Sank Almost Instantly

Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic,
Aug. "a. The sinking of an excursion
steamer off the mouth of Montevideo
harbor today cost the lives of not less
than $50 persons while the death list
may reach 200 to 300
Tne sinking of the steamer was due
to collision of the excursion steamer
with the Argentine steamer Colombia
A great hole was torn in the side of
the excursion steamer which sank so
quickly that there was no time to
launch the boats.
Passengers on the decks of the i'll
fated ship were thrown into the water
and many were picked up by boats
from the Colombia and other craft but
all below decks or inside staterooms
or cabins were, lost.
Details of the horror are lacking
but it is known that the excursion
boat was crowded with passengers,
including men, women and children.
The ship was almost cut in two by the
force OF the blow. The Colombia was
also badly damaged but remained

Just read them carefully and remem
Der that many attractions not there
on announced will be arranged dur
ing the week.
The Eagles purpose to make this
Field-Day the greatest celebration of
the kind ever offered TO the people of
Bennington.
Great interest has been aroused
over the Sparring Macn between AL.
Groves and Fred Lewis. While both
of these men have met many of the
greatest of the sparring artists OF
this part of the country, 1t is fact
that they have never come together,
and the many friends of both of them
who have been long looking forward
to the time when they should meet,
are making great preparations for
this event
The other attractions as announced
speak for themselves, but the lesser
athletic contests, including the one
hundred yard dash, high jump, etc,
can only be announced as the en-
tries are made. All desiring to enter
these contests should leave their
names with j. A. Evans at his store,

All who have visited the several
so-called Worlds Fairs" nave been
as much interested in the Midway"
as in any other feature of these ex-
hibitions. The Eagles are planning
for a Midway on this occasion
which ought to equal if not surpass
the one at the St Louis Exposition,
but the various entertainments to be
presented on the Midway will not
be published. 1t will cost the twenty
five cent admission to the grounds to
learn what they are.
Round, Square and Contra dances

CURT|SS BREAKS
COURSE RECORD
At RHEIMS
Flies 6 Is Miles in 8 Minutes
35 2-5 Seconds
DIDN'T PUSH THE MACHINE
American VIII Not Attempt Further
Flights Before Race for Bennett
Cup on Saturday.

Rheims, Aug 24--Glenn H. Curtiss,
the American aviator yesterday low
cred the speed record for the course
at Betheny which measures 1-5
miles, to 8 minutes 35 2-5 seconds.
Curtiss performance began just as
the time limit for the start of the
Prix De La Champagne was expiring,
when the American enthusiasts had
abandoned hope of seeing their rep
.resentative take the field.
With preliminary run along the
ground of 100 yards the machine rose
lightly and shot by the tribunes at
a height of 60 feet.
1t was going at terrific pace.
Curtiss made the last turn under the
mistaken impression that the finish
line was closer. He descended so
close to earth that many thought he
touched. but. perceiving his error, he
mounted quickly ana easily, crossing
the line majestically. An instant
later the signal was hoisted that he
had made record.
Curtiss said that he had not pushed
his machine to the limit of its speed,
and laughingly declined to say more
aviator now to await patiently the in
ternational event for the Gordon Ben
nett cup on Saturday, for which he is
again the favorite.
Paulham alone made a record in the
endurance test but Lefebvre
Sommer, SanchisPesa, Bleriot, Della
grange, Lambert, Cockburn. Bunau-
Varilla, Gobron, Latham, Tissandier
and Farman qualified with flights
varying from 200 metres to rs kilo-
metres, the majority contenting them
selves with covering sufficient dis
lance to get within the limit.
Bieriot appeared while Paulham
was completing his fourth round and
with ais 80 horse power monoplane
swiftly overhauled and passed under
the bi-plane, leaving it far behind.
Among the hundreds of Americans
here are Mr. and Mrs. George Gould.
Mrs. w. X Vanderbilt, Jr., Mr.. and
Mrs. Nat Goodwin, William H Crane
and Mr.. and Mrs Lewis Kittridge of
Cleveland.

Eth. HARTMAN TO
ARRIVE THIS
AFTERNOON
Railroad Magnate Has Been
Abroad for Treatment
HEALTH MUCH IMPROVED
Cure Caused Him to Lose Flesh But
General Physical Condition Has
Been Advanced

New York, Aug. 24.-E. H. Harri-
man will reach New York this after
noon on board the North German
Lloyd liner Kaiser Wilhelm ii. Mr..
Hartman has been abroad for his
health for the last two months and is
returning home a fortnight earlier
than he planned to do when he went
away. On landing he will go immedi-
ately to his country place at Arden,
Orange, County, n. Y, to complete
there the rest cure which has been
prescribed for him by his physicians.
TIE steamer was due to arrive here
at about day-break but has been de
layed by fogs and it is not now ex-
pected to get to the pier until about
3 o'clock this afternoon.
Wireless messages received yester-
day from the Kaiser Wilhelm II. told
OF Mr. Harriman's having benefited
by the sea voyage, even though he
was confined to his quarters most of
the trip owing to the heavy fogs
whicn enveloped the liner He was
reported to have gone on deck yester-
day for the first time since he left
Cherbourg and his fellow passengers
found him looking better than when
he boarded the steamer.
Robert S. Lovett, Vice President
and general counsel of the Union Pa
cific. received a wireless from Mr.
Hartman yesterday morning in
which he said ne was feeling fine. In
the dispatch Mr.. Hartman said that
he would see the newspaper men on
the train on his way from Jersey
City to Arden
The cure which Mr.. Hartman un-
derwent at Bad Gastein caused him
to lose flesh and left aim much fati-
gued. but ii is said to have improved
his condition and the stay at Arden
which he will begin this afternoon is
expected by his physicians to prove
just the sort of aftercure which Mr.
| Hartman needs.
While Mr.. Hartman is speeding
home this morning the Directors of
| the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cihc Railroads will meet at the Har-
riman offices at 100 Broadway. 1t
has been rumored from time TO time
that at this meeting the rates of divi-
dends on one or both of these stocks
might be increased, but no such ac-
ton was expected yesterday in the
best informed quarters. So far as
was expected by close associates of
Mr.. Hartman the Directors of the
Union and Southern Pacific will de-
clare both dividends at the regular
rate and outside of this action will at
tend only to routine business.
Consideration of the Union Pacific
plan of segregation and other impor-
tant matters which Union Pacific in
terests have recently been discussing
will be allowed to wait, it is under
stood, until further conferences re
garding them have been had with Mr..
| Hartman.

Junction. The grounds contain 60
acres.
When questioned regarding the ELL

mission said;
While it is difficult always to esti
mate the value of such property it is
safe to say that the grounds and build

tionalism and self interest are cast
aside and the whole state pulls to-
gether in the interest of any state en-
terprise.
"There is no question but that the
public spirit which prompted the
great gift of the Billings family was
largely due to the interest taken i'll
the state fair by the people of Yer

east side, have taken a strong inter,
