A despatch from St. John's, mm, “38! The steamer Lusitania with 500 Dusengers on board, was wreck- ed on Tuesday night on Cape Bal- lard. The steamer originally be- longed to the Orient Steam Naviga- tlon Company and was bound from Liverpool for Montreal in charge of Captain McNay. The Elderâ€"Demp- ster Company own the vessel, but at presm‘lt it is chartered by the Fran- co-(‘onudian Steamship Company. A TOURIST'S SKETCH WITHIN THE ARCTIC CIRCLE. Five-Hundred Passengers on Board the Steamer but No Lives were Lost. WRECK ° OF THE LUSHANIA The old church is picturesque. with high-pitched roof and red walls- when the Lapplnnd §wedes paint their buildings at all. it is generally in this rich warm. red color, which lends a very cosy appearance to a settlement. Near it is a cluster of low, misshapen huts, without win- The passengers of the Lusitania had a terrible experience. The first knowledge which they had of the dis- aster was when, owing to the ship raising over the rocks, they were all hurled from their beds by the shock. Many 0! them were bruised and they all hurried on deck in their night clothes. A scene 01 great excitement ensued. Five hundred people were clamoring to escape while the crew tried to pacily them, and launch the boats. The male passengers in their attempts to seize the boats trampled the women under foot and fought the crew with knives. Some 0! the more clear-headed of the passengers assist- ed the crew in their efforts to get out the boats. The women and chil- dren rescued were almost naked. Drenched with spray they were pull~ ed up the cliffs by the coast people. Some of the boats were demolished in the surt while attempting to land and their hall-drowned occupants The farmers (who are all Swedes) must compress all their farm Workl into the short summer. This makes it some“ but diflicult for the tourist to get men to act as drivers or buatnzen. though the natives are bound by the Government to provide carriages or boats. and books are kept at the various stations in which the traveller must enter his name and the number of horses or rowers that he employs. This also explains the reason for the apparent inhospitality of the inhabitants; they never Come out to Welcome 0. guest. or seem anxious to keep him, yet their kindness and attention when their interest is won are un- surpassed. The accommodation at the smaller stations is scanty, and a party oi three is the greatest numâ€" ber that can be conveniently accom- modated in the houses. r Jokkmokk is the metropolis of the. Valley. and stands above a beautiful double fall of the river. Not far be- low this is a division. and it is up the lesser branch that we are now making our Way. The other is prac- tically uninhabited, but it contains the mighty liar-spring or Njommel- flaska. said to be the FINEST FALLS IN ALL EUROPE. which may only be approached by a party fully accoutred for camping. Jokkmokk is an unkempt village (as most Luppland upâ€"country towns are) in a forest-clearing. It has, however. quite a pretentious gast- gilvaragard or inn. two churchesâ€" and a prison! The new and larger church is a supremely hideous excres- cence of light yellow wood and ground glass, and is regarded by the natives much as we regard West- minster Abbey. In the midst of the town one is confronted by a high blank wooden wall enclosing a tiny space. and resembling nothing so much as an unused advertisement bearding. This, we are given to un- derstand, conceals the prison-1. space about twenty yards square!“ FA NORTHERN LA PPLAND Hitter their manufac- wood and birch-bark. A LARGE CARGO. The Lusitania was bound round Cape Race for Montreal with a large cargo and a shipload of passengers. She mistook her course in a ,dense fog and went ashore near Renews, 20 miles north of Cape Race, before daybreak. The ship ran over a reef and hangs against a clill'. The pas- sengers, mostly immigrants, were panic-stricken. They stampeded and fought for the boots, but were over- come by the officers and crew, who Svcured control after a. prolonged struggle with the rougher elements among the passengers, who used knives. The women and children Were landed first and the men follow- ml. The crew stood by the ship. It is expected that the large cargo of the Lusitania will be salvaged. the rivers will bear sledges upon them, and the natives get up all their years’ stores by this means. Great trading fairs are held at ren- tres like Jokkniokkâ€"scenes of bustle and excitement illuminated by the northern lights, when the day of barely six hours is done. So sud- denly does the frost rush down upon the land that the steamer on the lower river, as the captain told us. is sometimes caught in the midst of a journey, and must be run ashore where she is, and surrounded with a protecting Wall of logs, to lie there all winter. Jokkinokk is the limit beyond which no intoxicants may be taken. Beyond it, therefore, we lose sight of that worst of Swedish faultsâ€" drunkenness. It is a criminal of- fence. to give liquor to a Lapp. Any drunken man may turn to lightingâ€"a drunken Lapp often murders. Jokk- mokk has one other interesting fea- ture--solitarily perched in the main street, and pathetically empty of its wares stands the automatic sweet- meat machine! lljorkholm is a typical upland sta- tion. The dwelling houses stand rather back from the water on the higher ground with a picturesque foreground of boats, high-peaked at how and stern drawn up on the shore, and iishing nets hanging on long horizontal poles. The people are great fishermenâ€"indeed, you must live on fish, “kneckeâ€"brod"â€" either thin and crisp like Norwegian ilat-brod, or hard and thick, and made in great round flat cakes with a hole by which they may be hung from the ceiling by stringing them on a stickâ€"potatoes, excellent coffee and milk, and a little dried reindeer â€"â€"this last of the consistency of In- dia rubber, and quite undesirable. I’owls are seldom if ever kept. All about the houses, and up to the very doors. are corn fields. When the corn is cut the sheaves are spiked on tall poles set in the ground, giving a very curious appearance. On one occasion we were forced to rouse the good people of Bjorkholm from their beds, for we arrived at half past eight in the evening, and received the llusual half-hearted welcome in the 'great kitchen, where a fire was kin- dled for us on the open corner hearth, while the doors of what ap- peared to be huge cupboards ranged round the walls opened, and sleepy men, women and children looked out. revealing the fact that these were beds, built in tiers like the berths on a steamer. Only the mar- ried people and children thus share the main roomâ€"the rest, old men, young men and maidens, sleep apart, each class in their own outhouse. IOur welcome was kind in every re- lspect but that of cordiality. Soon Wednesday morning the unhappy passengers, alter shivering (or hours on the hill top, tramped over weary miles in their endeavor to reach the houses of the fishermen, which they eventually succeeded in doing, and where they are now sheltered. Pre- vious to reaching the cliffs the pass- engers passedgtwo hours of terrible anxiety on the wreck. There is hope 0! saving the effects of the passen- gers, as, where possible, they were stowed above decks. held on to rocks shivering with cold until :escucd. PASSENGERS REACH SHELTER.

Having left this city one hour late, the train was speeding westward at high speed, when at a point nine miles west the engine plunged through a trestle, which had been undermined by the recent heavy rains. The embankment on both sides of the little stream drop- ped at a sharp degree, a distance of 40 feet. Owing to the momentum of the train, the engine leaped across the abyss, plunged into the soft earth on the opposite side. and fell back to the bottom. Engineer But- ler and Fireman Adams were thrown from the cab, but not seriously hurt. The express car and the first chair car were telescoped. The immigrant car followed by two chair cars went down on the left side of the track, and the first sleeper pitched forward upon the mass of wreckage. lts windows and trucks were broken, but none of the occupants were injured. The remaining cars also left their trucks, but were not badly damaged. It was in the immigrant and in the day coaches that most of the deaths and injuries occurred. Young Oxtord Farmer Makes 3 Desperate Attempt at Suicide. A despatch from Woodstock. Ont, says: Armour Potter, aged 26, son of a respected farmer near Eastwood, made a determined but unsuccessful attempt to take his own life on Tuesday night. Two implement men Were in the barn on his father's place, when they heard screams. Running into the house. they found Potter struggling with his sister, who was trying to get a four-ounce, bottle labelled "l’aris green" away from him. Potter had taken the contents in full view of his sister. He probably took an overdose. A doctor from Woodstock was summon- ed, and the young man will probably recover. Family trouble. are be- recover. Family troubles are be- lieved to have been resnonsible for the young man's rash act. Heavy foliage lined the banks on both sides of the culvert, the ap- proach to which was over a reverse curve. There was no means by which the engine crew could see the impending danger. In fact. the en- gine ran out upon the trestle before the structure gave Way. The night was intensely dark. For a moment after the fatal plunge and dreadful roar of crushing timbers a death- like stillness prevailed. Then there broke out the cries of the injured. 'l‘ruimnen caught up their lanterns and riished to the neighboring farm houses for assistance.
