consuming interest.

Rutland, March 2l.--News of the sink
ing, by a submarine, of the steamship
Vigilancia on Friday of last week arouses
more than ordinary interest in Rutland
because of the fact that the first mate of
the vessel. B. ID. 0'Conneli of New York

of East Washington street. Mrs. Dur
fee has had no word from her brother
and is not certain whether or not he is
safe. His name has not been mentioned
in any of the dispatches, except as being
q member of the crew. This in itself is
encouraging, however, as the dispatches
usually give the names of those who
have persisted or are missing,

the time the lifeboats were lowered and
the whole crew of 43 men tried to crowd

was not mentioned in this connection,
and as it was stated that the remainder
OF the crew had reached the mainland in

that he is one of the survivors.
