English Ship Lady Cairns Sinks After
Crash With German Boat
Off Dublin.
The German bark Mona 20lided
with the English ghip Lady Cairns off
Dublin bay Sunday Thorning. The
Lady Cairns sank in a few minutes.
Her crew of 22 were drowned. The

built in Belfast in 1869 and was owned
by L. Fulloch, of Swansea.
The Mona was commanded by Cap-
tain Schwarting and was last
ed at Ardressan.
AMERICAN SHIP HAS MISHAPS.

Grounded During Fog and Later col-|
lides With British Troop Ship.
The American line steamship New
York, Captain Young, from New York,
for Plymouth, Cherbourg ard Souvth-
ampton, met with two mishaps Sun-
day, grounding off Cape L.a Hague,
France, in the early morniag and later
coming into collision in the English
channel with the peninsular and Ori-
ental steamship Assaye, used as a
troop ship bound for Bombay with 500
soldiers on board. The Nw York
grounded while approaching Cher-
bourgh at 2:30 o’clock this mornin,
during a fog. The sea was smooth,
however, and the tide was on the flood
and within an hour and a half the ves-
sel was floated without assistance.
During the voyage up the channel a
dense fog ascended. When off Hurst
Castle, Eng. the Assaye suddenly ap-
peared and it was found impossible to
avoid a collision. The New York's
bow crashed into the Assaye’'s star-
board bow, tearing a great gap in thai
vessel. The New York’s bowsprit and
figurehead were carried away and the

COURT HOUSE DYNAMITED.
Attempt to Demolish Bui Iding
to Have Much Effect.
An attempt was made to wreck the
Court House at St. Marys, W. Va,
by dynamite. The last prisoner had
been released and Jailer D. L. Stine
moved into a dwelling several squares

stick of dynamite and attached a fuse
which led to the corridor. The ex-
plosion occurred about 11 o’clock at
night, and although Policeman Riggs
was on the spot within five minutes
he found no trace of the perpetrators.
Windows were shattered, the ceiling
torn loose and the floor of the court
room raised in that corner a foot.
Some think it was done by someone
who had once been confined in the!
jail. Others suggest that the deed |
was committed by parties who are
in favor of a new Court House. Two
years ago the County Commissioners
caused to be recorded in their minute
book the fact tnat the building was un-
safe, and also passed an order pro-
viding for the erection of a new build-
ing, going so far as to pay about $2,-

WHOLE CREW DROWNED.
Lieutenant and Ten Men Lose Lives
in Collision,
The British submarine boat No. Al
was run down and sunk off The Nab
lightship by a Donal Currie liner and |
11 persons were drowned, including |
Lieut. Mansergh, the genior officer en-|
gaged in submarine work. The liner |
passed on and reported that she had |
struck a torpedo.
At the time she was struck the ves-
sel was off the lightship engaged in
maneuvers and was lying Jin seven
fathoms of water waiting the approach
of a battleship.
The boat was one of the newest of
the fleet of submarine vessels and was
built from the latest models, but she
had always been a bad diver. She
was inspected recently by both King
Edward and the prince of Wales.

Russian Fleet Put Back to Port Arthur
for Safety.
The report that the Port Arthur fleet
had attempted a dash for Vladivostok
after the engagement of March 11 is
confirmed, but, after sighting the Jap-
anese fleet reconnoitering, on tae 13th,
it returned to port.
Capt. Treoubridge, British naval at-
| tache at Tokyo, witnessed the bom-
bardment of Port Arthur of March 10
and praises Japanese marksmanship.
Nearly every shell hit the forts or
damaged houses in the town. The
fire of the Russians shells was short.

squadron is a profound official secret, |
but there are those who believe that!
the Japanese may wake up some
morning to find that the two .ivisions
of Russia's Pacific squadron have ef-
fected a juncture. Realizing that of-
fensive naval operations are impossi-
ble under present conditions, it is be-
lieved that no opportunity would be
neglected to repair this initial misfor-
tune, even should it involve consider-
able risk. Consequently
that seven Russian warships were
sighted the other day off Gensan cre-
ates much speculation here as to
whether they could be the vessels of
the cruiser division under Capt.
Reitzenstein.
Vice Admiral Makaroff has reported
the miraculous escape of four sailors
from the torpedo boat destroying

ing the naval battle off Port Arthur
March 9. The men escaped by swim-
ming when the boat sank and succeed-
ed in keeping afloat until they were
picked up.
6,908 MILES OF RAILROAD.
But Outlook for Railway Building ls
Not Promising,
The Railway Age says: “The out-
look for railway building in the Unit-
ed States is not as promising as it was
a year ago. There has not been com-
plete recovery from the check in new
work which followed the disturbance
in the financial world last
and while a large amount of building
has been planned much of it is being
held up until financial conditions are
more favorable. There are 6,908 miles
of new line under contract or under
construction, and 1, 790 more on which
it is expected to begin work during the
year.
“A year ago there were 8.500 miles
reported under contract, a little over
68 per cent, of which, or 5,786 miles,
were completed during the year.”

Announcement of Failure Brings
Rush of Selling Orders.
EXTENT OF LOSSES NOT KNOWN.
Cotton Declined $13 a Bale and
Prices of All Securities Fell in
Sympathy.
Daniel J. Sully, the cotton operator,
who has for 15 months been the big-
gest figure in the cotton markets of
the world and who has “bulled” cotton
irom seven cents a pound to over 17,
announced his inability to make good
his engagements on the New York
Cotton exchange Friday. Within a few
months cotton fell nearly $13 a bale
from the highest figures of the day.
All previous records of stock panics
are eclipsed by the mad frenzy follow-
ing the tidings of the failure. In the
memory of many brokers corners in |
spot and futures have been smashed, |
but no scene has ever been witnessed
in the history of the ‘change like the
mad turmoil] accompanying the col-
lapse of Daniel J. Sully & Co.
For a few geconds after Superintend-
ent King read the anncuncement,
which was at 2:05 o'clock, there was
an ominous quiet. Brokers stood as if
stunned by the news that the king had
fallen. Then as if by a single im-
rulse, a mighty shout went up from
the bears. They had fought Sully
and his bull clique for months, and the
tidings of surrender after he had shov-
ed cotton from seven cents a pound
to over 17 cents frenzied every man of |
them, each of whom at cne time or
another had béen under the mighty |
lever. |
Hatg filled the air, to fall where
they would and be trampled to a
shapeless pulp, in the mad stampede |
from the pit. Coats were torn from
brokers in their mad effort to unload
their holdings and chairs were dashed |
into the circle, to emphasize some
wild broker's offer to sell. Soon the
news reached the stock, produce and |
coffee exchange, and declines followed
in nearly all securities.
In the 80 minutes of panic follow- |
ing the announcement of the failure it
is estimated that 750,000 bales of cot-|
to were traded in. Of this, upward of |
500,000 bales represented forced liqui- |
dation, or the selling out of a man |
whose margins were wiped out. The |
slump of 250 points alone amounts to
PENSIONS FOR MAIL CLERKS.
| Penrose’s Bill Aims to Protect Those
Employed on Railroads.
A plan for pensioning railway mail
clerks has been advised by Senator
and is embodied in a bill
presented in the Senate. A fund will
be accumulated by deducting 1 per
cent a month from the salary of the
clerks and from fines imposed on them
| by the department for neglect of their
| duties, infractions of discipline or for
other reasons. This fund will be con-
trolled by the postmaster general and
will be disbursed under his direction.
The bill provides that clerks who
have served 20 years in the railway
mail service and have been incapaci-
tated by reason of such service, be-
cause of ill-health or by accident, or
who have attained the age of 65 years,
shall be eligible to retirement at full
pay. No clerk so retired shall re-
ceive more than $1,000 a year, all
salary payable to him ‘in excess of
that amount being turned into the pen-
One per cent of all pen-
sions shall also be deducted for the
benefit of the general fund.
It is understood this bill has the
approval of the postoffice department
and was in part prepared by the de-
partment.

At a grecial meeting of the directors |
of the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad | |
Company, in New York, it was voted |
to increase the stock of the company |
from $11,000,000 to $22,002,000 to pay |
for the large improvements under
way between Rochester, Pa.,, and
Cleveland, and between Bellaire and
Yellow Creek, O. The stock is to be
taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which has had the Cleve-
land & Pittsburg road in lease and an
interest in the:stock for some years.
The action taken by the directors of
the company, if approved by the stock-
holders, places the control of the C.
& P. with the Pennsylvania.

Commissioner of Pensions Ware,
with the approval of Secretary Hiteh-
cock has promulgated the most import-
ant pension ruling that has been is-
sued in a long time. Tne order fol-
lows:
Ordered, in the adjudication of pen-
sion claims under said act of June 27,
1890, as arnended, it shall be taken
and considered as an ‘evidential fact
if the contrary loes not appear, and if
all other legal regnirements are prop-
erly met, that when a claimant has
racsed the age of 62 years he is dis-
abied one-half in ability to perform
manual labor and is entitled to be
rated at $6 per month; after 65 years,
at $8 per month; after 6S years, at $10
per month; and after 70 years, $12
per month. |
Allowance at higher rates, not .ex-|
ceeding $1 per month, will continue
to be made as heretofore, where disa-
bilities other than age show a condi-|
tion of inability to perform manual
labor.
This order shall take effect April 13,
1964, and shall not be deemed retro-!
active. The former rules of the of-
fice fixing the minimum and maximum
at €5 years and 75 years respectively
are hereby modified ag above.
The order itself is prefaced by a
preamble which, after citing the laws,
says the pension bureau has establish-
ed with reasonable certainty the aver-
age nature and extent of the infirmity
of old age; that 39 years after the
Mexican war, congress, in 1887, placed |
on the pension roll all Mexican war
soldiers who were over 62 years old.
Commissioner Ware, just before
leaving for a trip south for his health,
£poke as fcllows regarding the order,
which he said, would save both the old
soldiers and the government a great
deal of money and time. |
There has long been in the bureau
a rule fixing a maximum age limit at
$12 for 75 years. This was made dur-
ing Mr. Cleveland’s administration by
Commissioner Lochren. |

WARSHIP BADLY DAMAGED.
| Serious Nature of Accident to Illinois
Not Divulged at First.
But for the watertight compart-
{ ment of the battleship Illinois it would
be resting at the bottom of the sea
off Culebra. The Illionois, which is
now ready to go into dry dock in the
brooklyn navy yard, was run into by
the United States steamship Missouri
two weeks ago, but her serious condi-
tion was kept secret.
Capt. Bradford, the commander of
he Illinois, says that one of her pro-
peliers was disabled and there is an
cide below the
line. The collision occurred
while the vessels were maneuvering
off Culebra and the blame is said to
rest on the Missouri.
