'A despatch from North Sydney, N. S., says: The French threeâ€" rriasted schooner Juanita. has foun- der-ed in the Grand Banks with her ' crew of 25, the captain only being saved. He spent 36 hours on float- ing debris and had lost his reason when picked up. The Juanita was owned in Gran- ville, France, by Yvon Freres, and fitted out for the Banks fishing at; St. Pierre early last Spring, and} several times during this seasonl came into North Sydney and otheri Nova Scotia ports for bait. Thel vessel had had a successful sea-l son’s fishing, and was on ,her last trip out from St. Pierre when the! disaster occurred. The schoonerl was riding at anchor when a gale came on, which so strained her that? she opened at the bow and before plunged bow first, carrying to death. tWentyâ€"five of her crew. Only one man, the captain, was saved. As by a miracle in the con-‘ fusion. and darkness he got aboard of a pi cc of floating debris and sev- eral hours after daylight he was M UR DERE I) III S FATHER. The Result of 0. Drinking Bout at Grand Trunk Railway train No. 9, Montreal. A despatch from Montreal says: Two Italians were murdered on Sunday night at 31 St. Hypolite street. One of the dead men was shot by his son. All "had been en- joying themselves, and intoxicating drink had been used freely. Once or tWice Michell Calouri, jun., a youth, had been restrained from quarrelling, but he finally broke loose. His first victim was his fa- ther, who tried to pacify him. The old man, whose name is Michell Calouri, after being shot, walked out into the yard, where he died. The crazy youth then shot Francis- co Martelli, his host, who had reâ€" turned with moncy from the lumber camp. The murderer was arrested. He is thought to have had some kind of grudge that urged him, while drunk, to do the foul deed. A fourth man, who is supposed to have had something to do with the trouble, escaped. .__, .__.p_ THE BALLOON BURST. Competitors in' International Race Had Close Call. "A despatch from Berlin, Ger- many says: The international bal- loon race, which started on Sun- day‘from the suburb of Schmargenâ€" dorf, was the occasion of a thril- ling accident, two American aeroâ€" nauts having a miraculous escape from death. The American balloon Conqueror, the only American-built craft in the contest, having on board A. Holland Forbes and Auâ€" gustus Post, less than two minutes after the start burst at an altitude of 4,000 feet. For 2,000 feet it shot down like a bullet, and then the silk assumed the shape of a para- chute, and the rapidity of the de- scent was checked. Coming close to the earth, however, the basket sum-shod into the roof of a house, but the two men escaped with but slight injuries. v -54 BABY ON C 0 W-(hk’l‘CHER. .._â€"â€" Curried Some Distance, But Not Badly Hurt.

In this position the' only surv1vor remained for 36 hours, when he was rescued by the fishing schooner General Archimare in an exhausted and almost unconscious condition. The terrible ordeal through which he passed bereft him it his reason. Several days after his rescue, during his conscious mo- ments, the captain incoherently told of his sufferings and fight for life while holding on to the frail plank. To add to the misery and danger, two dogs, which had been on the ship, swam around after the ship went down and when daylight broke they’s'wam to‘where the sole surviâ€" ~ vor was clinging on his frail life prescrver, and attempted ‘to' share it with him by climbing on the _ plank. Endeavoring to keep the captain dogs and choked it into insensibil- ity; the other he succeeded in bold- ing long enough under water to drown, and once more the survivor had the plank to himself. In this situation he was found, taken on board and cared for by his rescuers. borne of McRoberts avenue, in York township, was run down by which does not stop here. The woman was thrown violently into the ditch, and’the baby was carried along some distance on the cow- catcher, but escaped serious injury. Mrs. Osborne had .her lower jaw broken, and received other painful injuries. No serious results are anticipated. A double track has re- cently been placed at this crossing, and it is thought Mrs. Osborne be- came confused when the train ap- proached. + , WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES. Strikers Appeal to Mayor Payette to Intereede with C. P. R. A despatch from Montreal says: A large deputation of C.P.R. strik- ers called upon Mayor Payette on Wednesday, and told a pitiful tale. They say that, notwithstanding the announcement made in the papers, when they applied for positions on Wednesday morning at the C.P.R. Angus shops for reinstatement, they were told their places were filled. They asked the Mayor to intercede on their behalf with the C.I’.R. They said they had been deceived b“: the labor leaders, who told them that unless they struck their wages would be reduced. They say they are entirely upon their uppers, and that there are hundreds like them, whose families will starve unless they get work at once. Some of the deputation broke into tears, and Ald. J. B. A. Martin was so affected that he broke down himself, and had to leave the Mayor’s room. "â€"0.21 CUT THROAT WITH I’ENKNIFE. Prisoner in London Jail Attempted to End His Life.

On Monday Bulgaria de- clared herself independent; Tues- day night the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria proclaimed the practical annexation of the prov- the dual monarchy; and on Wedâ€" nesday Crete broke away from the Ottoman Empire and claimed the protection of Greece. Meanwhile the Governments of Great Britain, France and Russia are werking to bring order out of the chaos which the virtual destruction of the Ber- lin treaty has caused. Turkey has virtually agreed to refrain from taking hostile measures against Bulgaria and Austria pending ac- tion by the powers. She will, how- ever, “euter a formal protest against the annexation of- her ter- . ritory by Austria. The indepen- dence of the Bulgarians she has al- ready declined to recognize. Tur- key is anxious for peace in the inâ€" terests of internal reform, and if the pride of the Young Turks can knock the loss of so much territory it is believed there will be no blood- shed. . Britain is not particularly desirâ€" ous of calling a conference of the powers to deal with the situation in the near east. She would much prefer that the Berlin treaty should not be revised, and that the mat- ter should be settled without referâ€" ence to the signatories of that pact. Consequently, she is advising Tur- key to try to come to terms with Austria and Bulgaria. Should a conference become necessary. how- ever, Great Britain would become a party thereto, but only after hav- ing bent all her efforts to limiting the scope of the congress. Britain's reply to the notification “mow-3' qU‘Oted a’tlol't Austria’s intentions with regard terosnia and Herzegovina is prac- tically the same as that made to Bulgaria. The British Ambassador at Vienna has been instructed to urge upon the Austro-Hungarian Government the necessity of recon~ ‘sidering its action, and the British Government notifies the Austro- I-Iungarian Government that it is unable to sanction any infraction oi the treaty of Berlin or consent 0- any alteration thereof without previous consultation with the A dcspatch from London says: other powers, and um, especially with Turkey. inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina to] l l l 1 l l Britain andf‘rance Are Agreed Over the Bulgarian Situation. in this case MAY CALL CONFERENCE. A despatch from Paris says: It was announced on Wednesday af-. ternoon that France and Great Bri- tain are in complete accord on the principle of an immediate interna- tional conference to consider the Bulgarian situation. Russia and Italy- altio are in favor of such a conference, and even Germany is expected to adhere to the proposal. Furthermore, the latest advices from Constantinople indicate that the Ports will accept the advice of France and Great Britain and await the result of this congress. SERVIAN RESTLESSNESS. A despatch from Vienna says: The Servian restlessness is irritatâ€" ing the Government and inflaming the public here. The newspapers print serious reports of the war temper being displayed by the Ser- vians, which it is feared will force King Peter’s Government into an invasion of Bosnia. To this is asâ€" cribed the military precautions Au- stria is taking on the Servian fron- tier, such as guarding bridges and tunnels. Four Danube gunboats have gone southward from Budaâ€" pest. as part of the precautionary measures. The newspapers warn Servia not to yield to illusions, which might end in her losing her independence. GERMAN EMPEROR BLAMED. A despatch from Paris says: The Journal des Debats publishes a let- ter on Friday afternoon, from what it calls an unusually well-informed source, describing the Balkan situ- ation as a veritable plot, of which Emeporor William is the real auâ€" thor, with Baron Von Aehrenthal t-lvo Austro-Hungarian Foreign Minister, a willing tool. It was the Emperor’s object to humiliate Great Britain as a friend of the new regime in Turkey, and at the same time to inflict a blow on the “Young Turks,” whose ascendancy threat: ened the German influence in the empire. Ferdinand and Bulgaria were drawn in, the writer of the letter declares, in order to involve Russian sympathy and paralyze opâ€" position froin that quarter.

The report was brought to the S00 by the crew of. a passing boat, who stated that when the Canadi- ans fired splinters were seen to fall from the American boats. Thc'agitation to suppress Ameri- can fishermen is due largely to ac- l'iOll taken by the local branch of the Ontario Fish and Game I’rotcc- tive Association, which has put the question to the Government in such a light that some action had to be taken.
