Bemorraliy Waldo Bellefonte, Pa., July 26, 1907. EE ———————— The Columbia Goes Down in Col- lision Off California Coast. [44 SURVIVORS ARE LANDED San Francisco, July 23.—In one of the worst marine disasters in the his- tory of the California coast between 50 and 75 lives were lost by a mid- night collision between the steamer Columbia and the steam lumber schooner San Pedro in Shelter Cove, 12 miles southwest of the Medicono- Humboldt county line. Of the 249 people on the steamer Columbia 144 were taken to Eureka by the steamer Elder. Of these 107 were passengers and 37 members of the crew of the Co- lumbia. In addition to these, four lifeboats | are reported to have been picked up, one containing 16 people, one 18 and | pne 15. The number on the fourth | boat is not given. | The Columbia, a 300 foot steel ves- sel, of the San Francisco & Portland | Steamship company, while bound from | San Francisco for Portland, Ore., with | 189 passengers and a crew of 60 men, | collided with and was rammed by the San Pedro, a 170-foot wooden steamer, south-bound for this city. The sea was smooth, but the weather was foggy. The San Pedro, looming out of the mist a few ship's lengths away, bore down on the Columbia at high speed, despite frantic efforts to clear. With a grinding crash the San Pedro sank her stem fully 10 feet into the Colum- bia’s port bow. Nearly all of the Columbia's passen- gers and many of her crew were asleep in their cabins and bunks when the crash came. As the San Pedro backed away the sea poured in through the ragged hole in the Columbia's bow above and below the water line, and in | five minutes the Columbia sank to the bottom, the deep waters of Shelter Cove covering over the tops of the Columbia's masts. According to J. 8S. Flynn, a passen- ger on the Roanoke, Captain Doran, of the Columbia, succeeded in launching four lifeboats and two rafts before the Columbia sank. Flynn in an inter view sald that Captain Doran acted with great coolness in the face of death and went down with his ship. Shortly after the collision the steam- ers Roanoke and George W. Elder and the steam schooner Daisy Mitchell, all south-hound, came on the scene and stood hy. The Elder took the San Pedro in tow. The stem of the San Pedro was smashed to splinters, one of her masts was snapped off at the deck, and she was settling and had a heavy list when taken in tow. Near the scene of the wreck the Roanoke picked up a life raft and found underneath it the dead body of a passenger, supposed to be Edward Butler, of Portsmouth, N. H. ! ed the weapun on himself. COSTLY STABLES BURNED phn Wanamaker's Estate, Near Phil. adelphia, Scene of Another Fire. Philadelphia, Pa., July 22.—The sta- bles of John Wanamaker's estate, Lyndenhurst, near Jenkintown, a sub- urb, were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss estimated at $50,000. Lynden- hurst, the country home itself, was burned to the ground in February last, causing a less of nearly $2,000200. At the time of this fire viluable paintings, bronzes, statues and Db a-brac were stored in the stables. paintings have since been removed, but many articles remained, when tenants on the place found the stables in flames. Fire apparatus from this city and nearby suburban towns were hur- ried to the scene but the fire had made such rapid headway that nothing could be done to save the stables. The sta- bles, which were in two sections, were built when Lyndenhurst was erected and were magnificlently equl Three horses were burned in eir stalls, and the loss on the building, horses, carriages and regular contents is estimated at $50,000. KILLED WIFE AND SELF Bride of Three Weeks Shot Dead By Husband. Camden, N. J., July 23.—Driven to frenzy through jealousy of his bride of three weeks, Herbert Brust, 20 years old, of East Camden, sent a bullet crashing into her brain and then turn- Mrs. Brust, who was a girl of only 17 years, lived but a few moments. Brust was hurried to the Cooper hos- pital, where he died. The tragedy followed a quarrel which began more than two hours earlier. But two shots were fired and when the dead girl's sister, attracted by the sound of the firing, burst into the bed- room, the young couple were found stretched out side by side in their bed room, in the second-story front. Both were unconscious, and, from gaping wounds in the right side of their heads, close to the temple, blood was flowing and staining the carpet a crimson hue. HAU SENTENCED TO DEATH Washington Law Professor Guilty of Murdering Mother-in-Law. Karlsruhe, July 23—Karl Hau, a bril- liant young law professor of Washing: ton, D. C., was condemned to death, after five days’ trial, for the murder of his wife's mother, Frau Molitor, a wealthy resident of Baden-Baden, in that oity, November 6 last. The pris oner heard the verdict of the jury with perfect composure and chatted smilmgly with his counsel after the judges withdrew to fix his sentence. Upon the return of the judges Hau arose, and standing erect, with folded arms, listened to the sentence with- } Gone Crops Raise Preachers’ Salaries. | Wilmington, Del, July 23. — Good crops throughout the Delaware and Maryland peninsula is having the ef- fect of raising the salaries of preach- ers generally.

Corning, Cal, July 22.—A small or- chard owned by the Southern Pacific company, near the Sacramento river close to Corning, this season produced a crop of prime apricots that bring $1,000 to the acre. The cost of this production will not exceed $150. In this section of the Sacraments val- ley many orchards are yielding abund- antly. : “It is never too late to mend,” is cne of those deceiving proverbs which seem born of human fatuity.

RECORD PRICE FOR CATTLE p86 Jersey Cows, Presumably For T. J. Ryan's Farm, Sold For $91,000. Coopersburg, Pa. July 20.—T. S.
