The steamship Wleland, Captain Albert,
from Hamburg, August 6, via Havrs, the
Tib, with merchandise mil 113 cabin and
4K5 steerage passengers, arrived In New
Yeik en Tbursdny and reperta : August
Htb, thirty miles south or Sable Island at
neon, aaw the Danish steamer, Thlngvalla,
Irem Oopenhagon (or New Yerk, wh tig
uala el distress. The Thlngvalla hadoel
llded en the Hth at 4 a. m., with the steamer
Gajser of tbe esrue' line, from New Yerk,
August it, for Copenhagen.
Tne Geyser Rank In about five minutes
Feurteen passengers and 17 of tbe craw,
among them Captain Meller, are waved.
Seventy-two passengers end 33 of tbe emu
were lent. Tbe steamer Wetland brought
435 passengers from tbe Tolegvalla and
these saved from tfie steamer Geyser te
New Yerk. The Tblngralla will endeavor
te roaeb Halifax, N. 8.
The Geyser left New Yerk en August 11,
bound ter Stettln. Tbe Thlnvalla was en
her way te New Yerk, and was advertised
te leave New Yerk en August 25.
A very heavy sea and a dense fog were
experienced through tbe night and early
morning of August 14. It Is said an objeet
could net be distinguished 60 feet away by
reason of the fog. Stories differ as te where
tbe liability lies, It net due wholly te tbe
tog and heavy bes, bat the Tnlngvalla
struck the Geyser en the starboard side
amidships. Tbe beats qnlekly receded and
within five minutes the Geyser sunk. The
crew of tbe Thlngvalla did all they could
te save tbe Geyser's crew and passengers,
wblle still In doubt whether the Thing
valla wan net dangerensly disabled, bur,
owing te thn heavy bes, only 31 were saved

Ne ntber vessel was near at the time.
The Wieland, en ber way te New Yerk,
was 100 miles away
At 11:30 o'clock en the morning et the
14th the Wieland was sighted. .Signs el
distress were made by the Thlngvalla and
a transfer or passengers bsgau. The aea
was then very heavy, bnt no mishaps oc
curred In the transfer et the pusengerH,
OAMAJN ALBERS' STOIU.
Captain A. Allms, of the Wieland, tells
tbe following stery:
"At 10 o'clock en the morning of August
14'.b we pissed some wreckage floating in
the sea and auspoetod that an accident bad
happened somewhere near us. A little
later we sailed through a rea of oil and
alghted a broken beat of the Geyser.
"About 11:30 we Blghted a Bteamer te tbe
northward about eight miles, and, seeing
ahe bad a (Wg of distress up we ran down
te ber. It proved te be tbe Thlngvalla, and
Captain Lsurt, of that vessel, came te us In
a email beat and beggod ns te take oil bis
passengers and thOEO he had saved from tbe
Geyser. He said his eirn vessel was se
badly Injured that he expected te sink at
any mement.
" His forward compartment had been
completely osrried away from half way
from the deck te belew the water line. We
sent out three et our beati and the Thlng
valla lewered two of here, ami In five hours
we had transferred the eaved passengers
and crew of the Gnyser, and also the 455
passengers of the Thlngvalla. The sea was
very rough at the time, and the work of
transferlng the pawengera was very diffi
cult. "The lrameusa hele In the Thlngvalla' a
bow was tben'patehed up as will as possi
ble, aud she started for Halifax."
The oble! orfieor of each voseel was en
deck at the time of the collision.
Twenty- fenr of the passengers and erew
of the Geyser, under charge el S&cend
Officer rergenacn, arrived at the Hetel
Denmark. They wero brawny fellows,
curiously attired, and bnt few bad either
shoes or stockings. Kojend Officer Furgen
sen gave a grapble description of tbe
collision. He said'
. "I was asleep In my bunk wh8n 1 beard
a shook, and immediately went en doek.
Taking In tbe situation at a glance, I
ordered all hands en deek. Then I swung
my soil off en the bow of the Thlngvalla
and scrambled te her deek. The deemed
craft sank gracefully, stern Aim, with her
bow In thn air. Mneteverybndy was sound
asleep, and when ehu began te fill I could
bear groans and heartrending sereiras
coming from below. The who resebed
tbe it ok made frantle efforts te cut down
tbe beats, but they were tee excited te be
auoeesiful. They finally grabbed up
dlfferent pleces et weed aud Jumped ever
tbe slde of the vessel. "
Annas Hwllse, a civil engineer, e! Minne
apolis, one of the passengers en the Geyser,
aald : "About 4 o'clock Tuesday morning 1
was awakened by a slight shock, ana,
thinking we had struck a wreck, 1 went
en deck just as some ene ebouted 'she la
sinking.' I found we bad been struck en
tbe starboard Blde about midships. There
were all that time four or five men working
at the beats. I had a cork Jaek6t, and felt
comparatively safe, se 1 called te the peeple
down Blalrs, and then watched the beat
sink from tbe bow. As olio went down I
stuck te her and was earrled down several
hundred feet 1 believe Soen 1 felt myself
sheeting up through the water, Impelled
by my cork jsoket. I was en top of the
water for, per ha pi, half en hour. I climbed
en the keel of n small beat, floating upilde
down, and was finally picked up."
another STenv op the crash.
Dr. Auge Wern, et Oepsntiagen, a young
dentlat, who Is en his way te Philadelphia
te oimplete bis studio, was among tbe
Thlngvalla's passenger?. He made the
following Btatement te a reporter :
"Tbe Thlngvalla left Stettln August 1,
with r0 cabin and 400 steerage passengers.
Oar voyage was uneventful, until early
Tnesday morning. I had left my berth,
and, looking nut, saw thore was adense fog
prevailing. I could hear enr steam whistle
blowing, but heard no ether signals. It was
exactly 1:30 o'clock when 1 wax burled te
tbe n mr of my 6tte room. There was a
terrific crath, and I knew Instinctively that
a oellla'on bad occurred. I ran te the deck
and found that we had run Inte the steam
ship Geyser. As 1 reached the deck tbe
Thlncvalla drew out of tbe rent sbe had
made In the Gpyser'n side. Captain Lsmb
of the ThlnRvalla was Id hla berth when the
aceldent occurred. He wasnneef the first
te reach the deck, rirst Officer Petersen
and Third Officer Jergen -en were nn tbe
Tblngvalla'a bildge at tbe tlme. 1 after
wardB learned thai Captain Moeller, or the
Geyser, bad geno te bed and left First Offi
cer Brown in command of the vwieeL
Brewu was lest. Life beats were promptly
launched from theThTngvalls, and the work
of reicue begin. Out et tbe 120 paaangera
and the crew en the Geyser only 37 were
saved.
ii Seme of them bad roaehed their beats,
but meat of them wero plcked up from Im
provised rafts, chicken coops, camp steels
and anything that, would float The sur
vivors had te hurry, us tbe Geyser went
down stern first about eight minutes atter
passengers
She la Mr. Hilda Linda, of Clnelnnsll
Her two llttle children, who were going te
Sweden with bar, were It at. Mr. Linda
was net with bis family. Among these et
tbe Gey.nt's crew who were saved were
Surgeon Dlrcbs and Soeond Officer Jorgen Jergen
en. ' There were 14 cabin and (1 steerage pas
sengers and 17 et the Geyser's erew saved.
One of the most wonderful escapes) was that
of Assistant Engineer Beerthelsen, of tbe
'leyser. His .arm was broken two weeks
age and he waa In his berth when tbe
Thlngvalla crashed into tbe room.
"His trunk was ent away within ill
Inches el hla face. He managed te climb
aboard tbe Thlngvalla as she drew back.
He was net e much as touched by tbe
water. The Tbtngvalla's crew did all they
could te rescue the untertunate,and obeyed
orders promptly."
OCCUPANTS OF BTATK ROOMS KILLKD.
First Officer Petersen told much the same
story of tbe occurrence. He said tbe fog
was very dense. Through the night rain
had fallen at Intervale. The first we knew
el the Geyser's approach was when she ap
peared en the starboard aide right upon us.
Beth vessels tried te sheer off, belng besd
en. Tbe Gsvser waa struck onnealte the
eustne rooms amidships.
The Geyser, being heavily leaded, was
very low in the water, ae that the Thlng
valla earrled away her own compartment
The nppsr part of ber bow ran ever tbe
decks et the Geyser. The Geyser's deck
houses were carried away and the state,
rooms were smashed In and the occupants
killed. He first beard a bell ring in tbe
Geyser's engine room, but could net tell
what the order was.
Olllcer Petorsen was. en deek at the time.
He then heard the bell ring again, this
time te baek, and the steamer had Just
oemmoncod te reverse when the Thlng
valla struck The Geyser's whistle was
blowing at. tbe tlme Second Officer For Fer
gensenjumpsd for tbe Thlngvalla when
they struck, nnd vat hauled en her deek
by some et the Tblngvalla's erew. One of
tbe Gayser'a paia.ngera was pleked up
with a broken leg.
Aa aoen as the Wieland arrived In the
lower bay Captain Mnlter, or tbe Geyser,
left tbe steamer en tbe revenue eutter. He
went directly te the office of tbe agenta of
the company, wbore he was closeted a few
mlnutea with the agents. He only left
word that the aceldent was due te the
weather, and left without stating bis desti
nation. The reieued crew et tbe Geyser
were taken te the Hetel Denmark en the
arrival of the Wleland.
The Thlngvalla's upper deek was net in
jured, but her rows were broken In from a
point ten feet below her decks. Tee rent
was about 27 feet in length, and ran baek,
above and below tbe water-line, te tbe col
lision bulkhead. Had It net teen for that
bulkhead the Tnlngvalla would have gene
down like a shot.
TB.H LIST OK THK LOST.
The Geyser's oempany should, aoeordlng
te Captain Meller, have Included fifty six
souls, and yet he estimated the number of
Its members lest at thirty-one, while It 1
certain that only seventeen were saved.
Then as te the passengers It is certain

Mr. Hanahan explained that tbe Brother

General Palmer's popularity among the

POLITICAL NOTKS.

Leuis Republic, by the announcement tbat
Jebn D. Heisel, ter many years a praotlo praetlo praotle

yeara circuit clerk, has decided te vote for
Cleveland and Thurman. Mr. Heisel has
been a life-long Republican, but could net
stand the platform adopted at Ohloage. He
Is new lecnted at Bethalto, and Is ene of tbe
chief citizens among a large farming com
munity. Mr. Adam Fleck called at tbe office of the
Pittsburg Past en Tuesday te Hay that the
atatement In ene of tbe morning monopoly

flopped te Harrison and Morten, was un
true. He says he Is a strenger Democrat
than ever, and will work and vote for Cleve
laud and Thurmnn.
A Dresden (Me) dispatch te the New

and superintendent el the Cochran Oler

Republican, bolleves In tariff reform, and
will vote for Cieveland. W. Bradatreet,
whoae alleged conversion te Harrison and

Wednesday that he bad veted tbe Republi

" Connecticut manufacturers are speak

Polttleal frlends nnd fees alike appear te
have been startled by the bold manner In
whleh Mr. Blaine espoused the cause of
tbe trusts In his speech at Portland en
Wednesday, when be Is reported te have
said:
"When President Cleveland delivered
his message he had something te say te
tbe American people about the danger et
trusts. I tblnk there have alnee been no
Democratic papsra in the country, whether
they undoiateod tbe meaning et the word
or net, tbat have net been constantly warn
ing tbe peeple an te tbe horrible danger et
trusts.' Well, I shall net discuss trusts
this afternoon. 1 shall net venture te say
that they are altogether advantageous or
disadvantageous. They are largely private
affairs with whleh neither President Cleve
land nor any private citizen baa any par
ticular right te interfere. "
At Washington, en Thursday, Senater
Reagan, in speaking upon the president's
mossage, quoted from Mr. Blaine's speech
et Wednesday an extract In relation te
trusts, and aald tbat Mr. Blaine had taken
upon hlmielt te ridicule Mr. Cleveland's
message en tbat subject and new posed as
tbe apologist and dolender et trusts. These
remarks of Mr. Blaine would (with the
money and corporation lr.tereats of the
oeuntry) add a new tea her te the plume of
tbat gallant knight and endear falmanewte
the hearts or the meuey lords. The Amer
ican people were te be congratulated tbat
tbe claws et monopolists oppreaslen had
been allowed te protrude from tbe velvet
gloves undes whleh they had been con
cealed. Mr. Blalne'a Jubilation had once
mere overcome his dlsoretion.
Mr. Blair complained that the extract
read by Mr. Reagan was net a lull report et
Mr. Blaine's remarks en the aubjeet et
trust?, and he sent te the clerk's desk and
had read the report from the New Yerk
2Yi&un.
The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph,
Ren . thua sneaks editorially of Mr. Blaine's
defense of tbe trusts: It la possible tbat
tbe gentleman from Maine bas been abroad
se long, and has been se Intimate with rep
reaentatives of monopoly, tbat he has lest
sight et tbe enormous increase of trusta,and
lain ignorance of tbe profound publle sen
timent In opposition te tbem. Certainly he
lathe first prominent politician of either
nartv who has bad the temerity te defend
these illegitimate and monopolistic combi
nations, and certainly, also, he is losing tbe
Republican party thousands of votes every
time he talks as he did at Portland laat

railway begun te lay a portion et their tracks
between tbe Pennsylvania railroad and

the street committee was ealled te take a

But a mere weighty matter engaged the
attention et tbe street oemmlttee. They had
learned from yesterday's Intelligencer
tbat It waa the Intention et the street rail

Ex Judge R. Page Davis, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., hitherto a stanch Republican, under
date el August 8, wrltes -te the Brooklyn
Jia'gle giving his reasons for supporting tbe
Democratle tleket He says :
I am glad te note tbe Increasing tendency
among thinking men te make a frank pub pub

up tbe G. O. P. In the Nurttiwt stem state.
In national contests I have always voted
the Republican tleket, though In local con
tests I oealess never te have knowingly
voted for an unfit or unworthy candidate
simply because hn had secured thn "leicular
nomination" et my party. In 18SI I found
Blaine a pretty draatie deae, but I gulped
him down ter what 1 supposed te be the
geed of the oeuntry, Mr, Cleveland st that
ume being a somewhat uncertain problem.
This year the Republican tleket tseramtned
With rcspeetable, dignified mediocrity, but
the platform la se oeniplcurmsly l-klng in
trnth and honesty that it rotu.es loge down
With me. It reads like a political drag-net,
fashioned for tbe pttrpcsj of capturlnir all
nrts et flsb, rgrdleaa of previous sflttla
tlme. Taking it all In all, the Chicago ex
hibition el Intriguing chicanery must make
every elear-beaded Republican blush.
But the one great lssun of the oemlng
contest is tariff revision, and net free trade,
as the Republican leadors unfairly and dis
honestly endeavor te make the voters bo be
lleve. It la te be a square, atand up light
en that question alone, notwithstanding thn
length et the Cbloage platform aud the
vailety of Its planks. 1 think the geed
sense el the oeuntry Is with Mr. Cleveland.
He has proved himself the people's presi
dent, aud they believe In him and will
stand by him en the questions or rodueed
taxation and tbe porntetoiia surplus.
