[Mn Bennett, it will be remembered. escaped by means of a boat, which was overturned, part of the passengers and crew going under it. and part managing to get on top. Among the latter was Mr. Bennett.) There we were. We could not have been there more than three or tour minutes. The stern of the steamer had settled very deep, and that was all that saved us from the screw as it was revolving. We gazed anxiously at the port saloon lights, and suddenly they sank very low and were quenched. Then there was either a rush of steam or an attempt made to blow the whistle. and the steamer's lights disappeared. STRUGGLING FOR-DEAR ma. “ There seemed to be a dreadful wail when the steamship went down, and then all was quiet. We were in a wretched slight, Wet through and on aperilous perch, ut while we were watching for the other boats our thoughts reverted to our own. There were seven or eight men below our upturned boat. and they were shouting to us to help them out, but we could do nothing. as most of the fellows alongside of me were useless, and I had all 1 could do to make them keep warm. I induced them mhuddle together and lie close, so the warmth in our bodies would be a universal quantity. By this means we kept warm. CALLING IN VAIN FOR HELP. " Meanwhile we could see plainly enough that there were three boats floating about, and that they were obeying the orders from about that had a light. The boat- swain's boat had six men in it, and we hailed it in most piteous terms. All night we kept calling for it, and once it came very near us. One of the men in our boat called the boaiswain hy name, and he answered, ‘ What do you want-‘2’ ' Therei are only five of us here,‘ was the re ly; ‘come and take us off this boat.’ he‘ answer was, ' Yes; wait. I am going to see1 it there is any chance to pick up any per- ‘ aon lrom the steamer.’ \ “The boatewein'e'boet than peeled very nee: us, and the steward implored him nov. ‘0 leeve ehem. Bad the boatewain’a boat come to us then we could have saved at lease eight more men the‘ were under the host. and I think Mr. King was among them ; bui ehe bomawain pmed again and never came nee: ue. “ Every now and again the poor tellowe under the boat would cry out. We would onewer thee help would soon come. and try to keep up their courage. but one by one they died. and at length we could hear nothing. Our hearts sank within us lMer when we saw the light so out on the lead- in; boat. which we ulterwurd learned woe thethird mate‘s. " We remeined ell night close together. By end by the hreeee freehened up end the wens dashed upon us. First we ten them lap our enhles. then our knees ; by end by they reached higher. end before morning the sfie broke over us end our misery Wes erri e. “By this time Mrs. Colbaek, with an infant in her arms. came to one of the boats that was just over the side. and she threw the hayy toward the boat. but the child fell into the sea. I shall never forget the awful cry of that mother. You may wonder that people did not move when asked to save themselves, but they were really paralyzed and they could not. I would give you more incidents it I had timetothink. but really the recollection makes me shiver. " On the steemer.when the confusion was at its height, I sew George Forrester. the steward, go to a number at ledres who had some on deck and providethem with wraps. There were Mrs. Shekel]. of Chatham, ;Mr. Woods. his wife and child; Miss Murray and Mr. and Mrs. Woods and femily. Forrester urged them all to come mth him to the boat, but they refused and said they must wait tor the oaptsrn’s orders. ° There is no time to loss,’ said the steward, hut they were persistent and he then left nd heroic endurnoe : Be wcs'standing so near the side when the collision took place that had not a friend ulled him away he would have been hil ed on the spot. The ship's doctor alongside him was injured by a broken spar. The crew all rushed for the boats. The passengers see-ed paralyzed. as did also the captain, who was washed from the deck just before the vessel went down. within twelve minutes of the time she was struck. Allan. third oflicer, was first to give the alarm that the vessel was sinking. Mr. Bennett says he pushed anumber of friends into one of the boats and jumped in him- self. Just before it was lowered some one out the falls too soon. and the boat emptied all the passengers into the sea. He. with‘ five others, climbed on to the keel and sat there all night. Underneath the boat were a number of their former companions, all 0! whom were found dead next morning. The small number of passengers saved he attributed to the rapidity with which the Florida wont down and to the fact that the captain, who apparently did not realize the position of affairs, made no endeavor to get them into the boats. Though the sur- viving officers are all very reticent as to the responsibility for the accident, the impres- sion seems to be that the steamship was to [or Ilen- In“ [nu-I.

A Winnipeg deepaich says: Advices from Emerson report a sanguinary engage. ment between the citizens and a party of men headed by Dean Westbrook. The latter built the iron bridge at Emerson, but the town could not raise the none to pay them, whereupon Westbrook an party seized the bridge. The citizens opposed their attempts to levy toll, whereupon the draw was swung out, and the contractors retained possession. On Friday an attack was organized. and all available boats and rafts were secured. The fleet bore down upon the bridge. A fierce struggle ensued, in which the citiaens were victorious. Several narrow escapes lrom drowning occurred. The key was thrown into the river. and the draw remains open. ' The chief engineer appeared to be pos. ceased of the same remarkable coolness or lethargy which distinguished the captain, and as he was hurrying his friends through the passage. which was already knee-deep in water. he met the chief engineer coolly walking up and down with a life preeerver on and his hands in his waistcoat sleeves. The steamer went down with her whistle blowing, which he supposed was intended by the captain or whoever opened the valve. asa last farewell to the world and all in it. At Burma [or Pouculon at a Bridge. Dr. Steele. the surgeon at the State of Florida. says that the main cause of the great loss of life was the oontinued p-ro gross of the steamer after the collision.p It was owing to this that more boats were not safely launched and that the passen- ger_e wage afraid_ to enter those floated. Capt. John Davidson, of the State of Nebraska, formerly commanded the State of Florida._ When she was off Fire Island under his charge a number of years ago a ‘ big schooner. the J. F. Campbell. struck the ship on the port aide forward. carrying away the rigging and doing considerable damage to the bulwarks. The carpenters and the steward of the ship were hurt. The sohooner's bows were crushed in, but she did not sink. This was the only disaster that ever happened to the State of Florida before she was lost. The State of Florida was built on the Clyde in 1879 for a freight steamer for the Queen Steamship Com- pany, and was named the Queen Margaret. When sold to the State Line she was re-named. Two years ago a new deck was put in, and she was fitted up in modern style to accommodate 100 cabin passengers. 60 second cabin and 800 steerage passen- gers. On her last voyage she was laid off one month and overhauled for the summer passenger business. She carried 2,800 tons of freight. dead weight, on a draught of 25 feet of water. She was 371“. long. 38 beam and 28 depth of bold. She was barquentine rigged, but did not carry sufficient sail to enable her to reach port without steam. She was considered a good ten-day boat to Glasgow. ‘ A correspondent writes : I learned that a large metallic lifeboat. which was intended to convey a large number of people and which was located on deck. was never need at all. It had its ropes cut and was thus useless, as it could not be hoisted out. This was done. it in charged. 30 that there could be an excuse for the commander or some one not_gcipg in her. The ship‘s cargo consisted chiefly of corn. when: and other grain, provisions and gen- eral merchandise. Both ship and cargo were insured Mr. George Younger was the second officer; Mr. James Allan, third ofiioer; Mr. John Bsine, chief engineer ; Mr. Wm. Hislop. second engineer; Mr. Bl". third engineer ; Dr. A. Steele. surgeon ; Jean M. P. _Kanrin. purser. V Mr. James Thompson was the chief oflioer. It was also his first trip on the State of Florida. He was formerly ohief officer of the State .of Pennsylvania, and had charge of her deck when Captain John Campbell and seven men were saved from the lumber ship Benefaotress about 500 miles west of the coast of Ireland after the stern of the vessel had been wholly broken up_ and washed away. 3°51- Tfll (MEDIAN PABBINOIIB.

A London oablegram says: A sensa- tional scene of an unusual kind even in Irish murder: trials occurred on Saturday at Garrick-ontsuir, county Tipperary. The victim of the supposed murder was Michael Blaney. cl Kilcasb, whose body was,recently exhumed and lound to show traces of arsenic in sufficient quantity to cause death. Suspicion rested upon the widow, and she was arrested and placed on trial at Carriok-on-Suir on Saturday. Her two children of tender years were pro- duced as witnesses. but on being placed upon the witness table they stubbornly refused to utter a word. They were threatened with imprisonment. and were evidently much frightened, but threats and persuasion alike failed to elicit from them asingle morsel of evidence. They were therefore committed lor contempt of Court, and ordered to be kept in confinement until they purge themselves of contempt thy giving their testimony in open court. The severity of the judge’s action under the peculiar circumstances has caused a great sensation in the neighborhood. and has turned the sympathies of the people in favor ol the widow. who has hitherto been regarded by‘ most 0! the neighbors as guilty. Vagarlea ol - Deceased nilllonalre. A London cablegram says: The will of the late William King was tfl‘ered for pro- bate tc-day and aflcrds another instance of the vagaries cl millionaire testators. Mr. King was for years the proprietor of London's most unique and extensive cu- riositythop. He entered the shop a penni- less lad, and retired an exceedingly rich man. His largest bequest was a cumula- tive gilt to his medical attendant. which began with a sum 0! less than 31,000 eleven years ago. with the proyiso that that sum should be doubled every year that the testator should be kept alive. The lucky practitioner now comes in for a bequest of over 8750 000. Another large bequest con- sists of $500,000 given to St. George‘s Hos- pital in the east. an immense establish- ment in the poorest and most thickly populated part of London. ling last week this .47 years old and has the rank 0! cu el iii a Prussian regiment. ‘When he married Princess Alice she brought him a dowry of £30,000, besides an allowance of £6,000 a year contributed by the British taxpayers. Queen Victoria granted him the prefix ot " His Royal Highness," and also created him a Knight 0! the Garter. These iavors were no doubt highly esteemed, as the reigning family of Hesse are not possessed of much private property, and are dependent almost entirely upon the grant of the civil list, amounting to $307,000. including allowances to the princes, brothers anduncle of the Grand Duke. Louis was lelta widower in 1878. He had seven children, five 01 whom are living. Mme. DeKalamire in the lacely divorced wife of a Russian Secretary of Legamou. She was the Countess Alexandrina Czapeki, daughter of a Russian Chamberlain. It is now stated that Queen Victoria. who had accepted the Grand Duke's pro- posal for the hand of her youngest daugh- ter. Beatrice, conditionally upon the passage by the British Parliament of the Bill legalizing marriage between widowers and their deceased wwes’ sisters, and who took Beatrice to young Princess Victoria’s wedding to afford an interview between her and her semi-betrothed, when she was made acquainted with the manner in which the Grand Duke proposed to enjoy family ties while waiting for parliamentary relief, refused to allow Beatrice to speak to him and hastened her departure home. THE GERMAN LAIBDIE. Louie 1V. 0! Hesse-Darmstadt is chiefly remarkable for having been the husband of Princess Alice andtather of Princess Vic- toria, who married another German prince- A London despatck says: A great stir has been caused by the announcement or the monanatie matrimonial intentions of Louis IV. Grand Duke of Beets. The crucial paper of Darmetadt is silent upon the subject. and the semi-omcial press has hastened to ridicule the report. There is every reason. however. to believe that the proposed marriage is an approachin fact, and the statement cabled on the 8: inst. is reaflirmed today by an English diplomat who has very close relations with the Darmstadt Court, and with the additional information that the lady who has been honored by the choice of the Grand Duke is Mme. DeKalamire. who has been very rominent in the highest social circles of armstadt and Berlin. The Grand Duke has. however, stirred up a veritable hornet’s nest by his firepoeed matrimonial venture. for t e en- tire royal family of England unite in resent- ing the proposal as a slight upon the memory of Princess Alice. the first wife of the Grand Duke. and almost an insult to Princess Beatrice, to whom he was all but betrothed. The latest demonstration of this feeling has been tarnished by the Queen’s eldest daughter. the Crown Prin- cess Victoria of Germany. She was among the guests attracted to Darmstadt by the marriage of the Grand Duke's daughter, Victoria. on April 30th, and was to have remained to take part in the round of festivities which followed the wedding. It is known that she very suddenly changed all her plans in this respect and that she started hastily from Darmstsdt for Berlin almost before the wedding was over, and with scant courtesy to her host. Grand Duke Louis. This sudden flitting is now acounted for by the statement that the Grand Duke announced his mor- ganatio intention to the select party of royal personages assembled at his daugh- ter‘s wedding, and that the Crown Princess Victoria immediately took umbrage at what 1 she deemed disrespect to two of her sisters and left the Grand Duke’s court and capital in _an_ indignant anger.

Strange mos-v of a Bepenunt Lover's sell-Imposed Penance. A London despatch says: The famous deaf and dumb knick-knack peddler. who, during the past few years, attracted so much attention on London Bridge. has died in the Southwark Workhouse. Before his death he beckoned to his not one of the hospital attendants and terrified him by speaking to him. When the attendant recovered from his astonishment the beggar confessed that his deafness and numbness had been feigned. He said he was a Swiss gentleman of fortune and belonged to one of the host families in the republic. When a young man he was betrothed to a beauti- ful and accomplished girl. He was pos- sessed of a most violent temper. and in a lovers’ quarrel over a trifle one day he so wounded the girl by the bitterness of his invectives that she fell ill. His cruel conduct stung him so that he became melancholy from remorse and left home. He the resolved to punish himself; he vowe to become a voluntary sale for twenty years, to earn his own living, leave his fortune untouched. keep his relatives and friends ignorant of his whereabouts.and go bareheaded and barefooted in all weather during the entire time, and to listen to no one and speak to no human being during the ten last years of his exile. If he lived to complete his vow he meant to return home and use his fortune and the remainder of his days in. making his betrothed happy, providing she were alive and unmarried. He had rigidly kept his vow. “ but.” he cried before he expired, " my time is not quite up and 1 must die before it is. Ihave been punished as I deserved." Investigation so far as it has gone has raven that the peddler‘s story is entire y true, and his family in Switzerland have been made acquainted with his death. The trial has been in progress since Mon- day, the whole of that day being occupied in challenging jurors. Tuesday and Wed- nesday were spent in the same way. Nearly one hundred persons have been re- jected. McKesgue's counsel appears con- fident of a verdict of acquittal, and so do his aged Scotch father and mother, who are here from Thorold. His sister, aunt and amanced, Belle Hagen, are in court every day. The defence confidently assert McKeague's innocence, and maintain that Pinkerton’e detective agency. employed by the prosecution to work the ease up, knows that he is guiltless. It is expected that the panel 01 jurors will he completed to-mor- row. Among the villagers who were fond of discussing the murder was the young Uanadian butcher. McKeague. He repeated constantly, with varying details. a story to the efiect that the night before the murder Willson came to his store and said “ that he expected a caller that night and wanted an extra nice steak." The constant reitera- tion of this story made people whisper that it might be possible there was an object in his domg so. The whisper- ‘ing became loud talking. McKeagne's custom ten ofi. His store was avoided. It became known that McKeague owed Willsonalarge sum of money, but the evidence of this debt Was taken in the papers carried ed by the murderer. Detec- tives watched McKeague. His clothes were secretly examined and the three buttons matched other buttons upon his clothes. The microscope identified the ; threads attached to one button as being the \ same materialas in one of his vests. His} pistol carried bullets of the same calibre as those in the old man’s body. Despite his protestations ct innocence, this circumstan- tial evidence was deemed sufficient for his arrest. up, which led to anarreet. At the time 0! the murder there was snow upon the ground. Tracks were tonnd in the snow leading to the trout gate. Exact plaster caste o! theee tracks were taken by the detectives. In the rooms where the crime was committed were lonnd three rubber veet buttons of peculiar make. The name of a Paris maker wae stamped on them. All were blood-etained. One had a piece of cloth attached, as it rent tram eomebody’e clothee. These valuable lie in the evi- dence were naturally taken to of. The day before the murder Willson had received a considerable sum of money through the eale of some property. All this money, his gold watch. a memorandum book and other valuable papers were gone ; but 8350 in cash and 83.000 in village bonds were round in an old trunk undisturbed.

A Bufialo despatch to the London Advertiser says: 'Fort Erie (0nt.). opposite the city. is in a ferment o excitement over the disappear- ance of Joshua Phillips, cashier of the Grand Trunk Road at that place. with nearly $2,000 of the company's money. Phillips has been holding the position at Fort Erie for eight years past, and for twelve years before that was in their em. ploy at Goderich, Ont. He has been receiv- ing but NO a month in his position, but spent fully 8100 a month in this city, which he visited frequently in order to have a "good time.” He was counted a jolly good fellow, and as at home he carried himself well, there was no suspicion of anything being wrong. Last Friday afternoon he left home. telling hie wife that he was coming to Buffalo on business. but as he did not return, she on Monday morning sent the keys of the safe to John Phillips. the agent, who, it seems. is no relative, although the names are similar. On opening the safe and examining the books it was seen that he was short, and a despatoh was at once sent to Robert Lsrmour, Division Superin- tsndent at Btratford, who sent John Payne. Travelling Auditor, to the station to ex- amine the cooks. Although the examina~ tion is not yet complete, enough is known to show that the shortage will amount to 82.000. Nothing has been heard of Phillipe' whereabouts. but several officers of the road. assisted by Detective Day and a number of other detectives, are working on the case, in order, if possible. to learn his where- abouts. Phillips’ wife is now confined to her bed from the effects of the shock. Phillips has four children who have an interest in some property left by his father.
