CHANZY WRECK A HORROR.
Lone Survivor Tells of Fearful Cries
and Final Explosion.
Marcel Rodel, t..e sole survivor
of the steamer General Chanzy,
which was wrecked last week ou a
reef off the Island of Minorca, told
a thrilling narrative, prior to his
departure for France, of the ter
rible experiences of the steamer
and those on board.
"When the Chanzy left Marseil
les she encountered a rough sea and
a northerly gale. The passengers
were not apprehensive, however,
and all retired on the night of the
ninth in good spirits. At 5 o'c'.cck
the next morning I was awakened
by a splitting crash, as if the ship's
flank had been torn on a ledge. I
dressed partially and hurried out
of the cabin. Sailors were trying
to reassure the passengers, but
their words had no effect on the
crowd of men and women ninny
of whom wer? dragging children.
"The darkness added terror to
the frightful scene. Knormous seas
were breaking over the steamer.
One sea ripped off a railing to
which a score of women and child
ren were clinging. Thir shrieks
as they disappeared were drowned
bv the roar of the storm.
"I saw that it was death tore-
main, and being an excellent swim
mer, I allowed myself to be carried
off by the next wave. At the mo
ment the sea swept me shoreward
the air was rent bv a violent ex
plosion, the wreckage shooting ov
er my head. 1 turned to iook, dui
the General Chanzy had disappear
ed. The horrible confusion was
soon end'.'d and the cries silenced;
the beating storm alone remained.
Evidently I lost consciousness, for
I remembered no more until I came
to on the rocks."
Rodel took refuge in a grotto at
the base of a high cliff, wlure he
passed a day and a night. With
the wreckage he built barricades
to keep off the sea, and appeased
his hunger with raw potatoes,
which had been cast in his cavern.
On the morning of the eleventh he
scaled the cliff and wearily dragged
himself to the nearest habitation.
The recovery of bodies continues,
and they are buried as soon as they
are photographed for identification.

FIRST RAILROAD.
First One Chartered in America was
the Danville & Pottsville.
In a historical sketch eontriuMed
to the Pottsville Historical society
by Dr. J. J. John, of Shaniokin,
the D.inville & Pottsville railroad
is spoken of being the first rail
rond chattered in America.
The information appears in an
articie in Sunday s Philadelphia
Record. That part of the article
containing the local reference is as
lollows:
"A series of three papers by Dr.
J. J. John, of Shamokin, have for
their themes that fascinating sub
ject, The Great Road or Kings
Highway. This was the road of
1770 which led from the site of
Schuylkill Haven on the Schuylkill
to the site of Sunbury ou the Sus
quehanna, and which was the fol
lower of the Lightfoot survev of
1759. Lightfoot was authorized by
an act of the Provincial Assembly
to see if it was practical to con
struct a road between Philadelphia
and Fort Augusta. Dr. John's his
tory of the Danville & Pottsville
railroad of 1826, the first chartered
road in America, is another of his
characteristic contributions."
