THE TITANIC DISASTER.

Cnkpeakable horror spread over the
world yesterday as It learned or the
sinking OF the Titanic. Tho Srue-
some story pales imag inaiion, and
every hour brings more sickoning In
teiliEence. AT the time OF this
writing, Il is not definitely known how
many lives were lost, but there can
BIO little doubt that this was the most
fearful disaster in marine history.
The largest vessel ever built, the
masterpiece of mans constructive
genius. trelghted with. an army OF
precious human lives, vanished in an
instant When heaven was all tran
GUILTY. Deaths dark rcer lay straight
ahead Tho very thought of the
scene Sunday night shoots the heart
Through with horror and stuns the
brain. No words can measure tile sor-
row that has fallen upon thousands
of homes: no mind can picture the
swful tragedy that snuncd out hun
nreds of human lives in the twinkling
of an eye. The story will be written
in blood and tears in the dark record
of world disasters.
