TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.
Forty-one Lives Lost When
Steamships Crash Together.

Norfolk, Va, January 30:-The
story of how forty-one souls went
down to death in the chill waters of
the Atlantic when the liner Nam
tucket rammed and sank the steamer
Monroe early today was brought to
port tonight by eighty-five survivors
of the sunken ships passengers,
rescued and brought to shore by the
Nantucket. 1t was story of awful
and sudden death, sweeping out of
the dark fog, and taking unawares
the doomed half hundred with the
heaviness of sleep still upon them.
1t told how the stricken Monroe,
with her side gored deep by the
knife-like steel prov of the Nam
tucket, filed rapidly. rolled over on
| her side, and in a few minutes turn
ed completely over and plunged to
the bottom, carrying with her the
ill-fated passengers and members Of
the crew who had failed to get clear
of the wreck.
Tonight the revised lists, prepared
by Capt johnson, who survived the
sunken vessel, showed l9 passengers
and % of the crew lost-a total of
al; and SO passengers and 60 of the
crew saved-a total of SO.
Under the thick band of fog that
hid the heavily running sea, both
big ships were making their way
slowly and with difficulty in the
early morning. The Monroe, with
Capt Johnson on the bridge and a
double lookout peering into the fog
ahead, was edging under half speed
to the northward, leaving Nor
folk for New York last evening
with a nerve-racklng, fog-bound
voyage in prospect. The Nantucket,
heavily laden with freight and with
but two passengers aboard, was
nosing her way southwark, bound
from Boston to Norfolk. Urged
| through the dripping fog, the two
vessels slowly were drawn. toward
each other.
The crash came about LAO o'clock
without warning.
Out of the gray-black fog that
shut out even the waves from view
the CLEAN of the Nantucket's search
light scarcely touched the dripping
side of the Monroe before the high
steel prov of the southwark bound
vessel cut into her side with a rip
ping and crashing of plates that
threw the stricken ship aback. The
Nantucket, with her bow crush
ed in, backed out of sight into the
fog, as Capt Johnson, seeing that
his vessel was fatally stricken, shout
ed an order for the lifeboats.

A HORRIBLE STORY.
Unnatural Parents Charged With
Murder of Baby Girl.

Spartanburg, February 3:-Charg-
ed with murder, the alleged parents
of a girl baby, whose dead body
was found in mill pond Saturday,
were arrested this Afternoon; the
woman in Spartanburg, as she was
was about to take train for Char
lesion; the man at Chesnee, S G, as
he was preparing to leave for San
Francisco. He is Clyde Caldwell
Clement, twenty-three years of age,
until recently a student at Wofford
College Fitting School. She is Miss
Fleta Pendleton, aged nineteen, until
recently student in local business
school.
Miss Pendleton was identified as
the mother of the baby by Mrs W
M Hodges of Greenville. When
Mrs Hodges was taken to see her,
Miss Pendleton is said to have burst
into tears, and exclaimed, oh,
God, why did kill that dear little
baby?"
Miss Pendleton collapsed. When
she had partly regained her COM
posure she said Clement dropped
the baby Friday night from bridge
into the creek which forms the mill
pond. She said she did not want to
lose the baby, but that Clement told
her he did not love the DID brat, %
and he would not marry her unless
she would consent to his doing away
with it.
Weeping piteously in the Jail TO-
night, Miss Pendleton begged to see
the baby, and the corpse was carried
to her to fondle.
Miss Pendleton said she gave birth
to the baby, named Virginia, at the
Presbyterian Hospital at Charlotte,
N C,December 6. Clement then took
her to Greenyille and got a room
for her at the boarding house of
Mrs Hodges.

eral swans were swimming gracefully in a
small, scooped out pond. And in one corner
of the grounds were cages of bears and of
strange birds. While everywhere in their
peculiar uniforms were the obsequious fol-
lowers of Zion.
The FEckingers secured seats facing the
band, and Pas eye already had festive
CLINT that spoke of intense enjoyment. But
the music made the twins FESTIVE, and they
pulled Opal towards the animal house,
though she refused to go there with them.
She felt very superior and aloof and bored,
before in all her short, monotonous young
life.
bears over there" limited Jasper, fixing
his dark eyes on Opal appealingly.
p "Please, let's go, Auntie OPAL" teased
Janice in her most wheedling tone.
But for once Opal refused to crafty
them, and stood listening unhappily to the
music at some distance from her family.
"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord" began the band. And
Opal, who had often sung the song at school,
could not bear to hear the people laughing
and chattering about her. She looked up at
the tree tops, deeply green, against the blue
sky, and it seemed as if this were bit of the
world of beauty that she longed for. When
she glanced back at her mothers careworn
face it was lighted with an eager apprecia-
ton of the music, pathetic in its intensity;
and her fathers face was strangely softened.
And suddenly Opal was no longer ashamed
of her father and mother; but she felt hum
BILE and unworthy of them. Their faithful,
working lives were al at once vital
with the severe beauty of tasks well done
and of the burden of living never shirked.
Opal, with her smattering of culture, had
fancied herself immeasurably more sensitive
and refined than they. But she now saw
herself as selfish in belittling her own folks
constantly, and in weakly clinging to the
memory of Seton Woods. She felt that her
mother was right-she had no pride.
While the music was still rousing her I'M
happy young soul from its lethargy, Janice
pulled on Opals dress, and whispered:
'FSeftie Woods is comm" sure that this was
welcome news.
With painful, futtered embarrassment,
Opal glanced down at the twins, and uncon-
sciously clasped their small, brown hands
closer till they looked up at her wonderingly,
but with perfect love and trust. Then she
lifted her head proudly, and faced Seton
Woods with new light in her eyes, def
ance of him and his neglect that burned
with her awakened loyalty to her own fam
lily. And as if this chance meeting were too
momentous for words, neither of them
spoke, though the crowd seemed to fade
away and leave them alone.
But the flower of love, with its ineffable
bloom, had changed to bitter fruit to their
undisciplined young hearts. And Seton
Woods, his eyes holding challenge that
Opal did not understand, lifted his hat with
the very serious dignity of the very young,
whose heartaches stir such unexpected
depths in their partially exposed young
souls, and left the park.
Opal, withdrawing herself from him in
spirit, turned to the twins with unselfsh
affection, no longer ashamed of their stuffy

her quiet voice was lost in the shrill babb1e
of the others holding forth on the attrac-
tons of Zion.

bergasted," Ma confessed to Pa.
''Nothin' queer in that, Ma, seem you

During this conversation they had been

out with the exception of Pa, who remarked
perfunctorily to the gatekeeper: "A fine

readily

toned Opal, whose pale face should have
reproached Mrs. Fickinger for wishing to
drag her daughter off In the heat and dust
after phantom pleasure.
~ don't git myself and my two twinses
and Milo into their Sunday buds all for
nothin'," broke in julie decidedly. "I'm
goin'," and, grabbing twin in each hand,
she bolted out of the house.
The day was hot, and it had not rained In
50 long that dust covered everything and
rose in binding clouds along the unpaved
streets. The whole earth seemed to pant
for moisture, as the Flickingers waited for
the street car beside the hot, glistening
tracks In the suburbs.
"The worst drawback to picnic ja'nt Is
totin' the victuals," grumbled Pa, hopping
his face with murky handkerchief.
"I'm tired enough to DROP" admitted
Ma. "But onct onto the Car I can set
down, and a-lookin' outer the windcrU take
my mind off'n how tuckered be-"
eff you'd "a chose leetle cooler day, I
wouldn't have objected" remarked Pa.
eff I'd been the weather man suppose
could Of" returned Ma in anything but a
pleasant voice.
"I'd "a been thankful for weather like
this in Klondike," observed Palmer. "I'd
a sight ruther bile n freeze"
"To-day I'd ruther freeze-if you asst
me-" said Milo.
81 don't know why Ma always expects
Milo to tote everything" fretted julie, re-
duced to peevish complaint by the condition
of the weather.
"Give me a-holt of Milo's bastic," cried
Palmer heartily.
"Tain't a-hetchelin' me none," denied
Milo politely.
"Mebbe It amt" struck in julie, "but
you're a-puffin' like walrus."
"I'll tote the bastic for spell" promised
Palmer, forcibly wrestling it from Milo.
The car, which soon came, was so crowded
that even Ma had to stand And Palmer
and Pa Fickinger, laden with their heavy
lunch baskets, looked the very antithesis of
happy picnickers.
"Pa, remember the transfers" yelled Ma,
hanging from a strap far down the aisle, and
as the conductor weaved among the people
collecting fares she never once lost sight of
him.
"He never in the Twin world would "a
give you them transfers" she told Pa, after
they had left the car at the main corners
downtown, eff hadn't kept my eye on
him.
"Ruther joltin' ride" laughed William
Palmer. "Still I've rid on worse things up
in"
William, where's your victuals7" cried
Ma aghast.

"Poor kidd" lamented Pa Flickinger, as
he delicately showered crowd of pansies
till they ducked their glad faces under the
cool drops. "I'd ruther Opal'd be a-puttin'

"But she'll get over it if she has some

wife; she needs change"
"Sure," assented Pa. GA rollin' stone

"And we've gotta do somethin' catchy to

"what's there?"
II dunno just what is there, cause 1

neither. But it'll be somethin' new for
Opal. And always had hankerin' to go
to Weston Springs myself"
That evening when Ma and Pa Flickinger
and their daughter Opal and her brother Jed
were sitting on the back porch, Ma preached
the subject of the proposed outing to Opal.
How'd you like to go over to Weston
Springs for little outin', Opal1" asked her
mother pleasantly.
"I don't know" answered Opal istlessly.
When Sunday afternoon came, Opal
dreaded the picnic, but her mother was
determined to go.
"T kinder wish't had cotton dress to
wear" sighed Ma when she was encased in
her faded black alpaca as in rusty armor.
"This here worsted is a leetle raspy on a
bilin' day. Opal, you don't need to wear
your new white toys that was made for the
Old Folks's picnic, your old buds is good
enough for scrougin' on and off street cars.

want the police" ordered his wife. "Here

"Let jest one more car 60 by marked
Howe Avenue and back we pike-victuals
and all, vowed Ma Grossly, as they waited
for the Weston Springs car.
When at last the right car came, the
Flickingers hurried on with crowd of other
pleasure seekers. And julie, remembering
how she had been obliged to stand on the
way down, dived ahead, boring her great
hat aggressively through the struggling
humanity, her intrepid nerve landing her in
a seat, though the rest of the family all
chung to straps.

"I can't see anything but other folks's
backs, and I'd drop if there was any place
to drop in," Ma complained to Opal.
The music of the band burst shrilly on
them, playing a patriotic air. The car
stopped, and there was general exodus of
people.
"We're here" Ma informed Pa. "Come
on" For she could catch glimpses of great
oaks, large buildings, and crowded grounds.
But he only dropped into the nearest
vacated seat, remarking CURLY: cts Zion"
Ma had just sat down and was preparing
to enjoy the scenery when the car stopped.
"Mosey out" ordered Pa glumly.
"This looks jest like Zion Park back
