A Steamer Crushed
Largest Steam Ship Afloat Goes Down
in Water Two Miles Deep
From Cape Race, Newfoundland,
eomes the report, and sad as it may
seem, it is true, that the mammoth
ocean liner Titanic, the largest of all
vessels afloat, which struck an ice-
berg off the banks of Newfoundland,
had gone down in water two miles
deep, carrying with it 1,350 victims,
its cargo and jewels worth $10,000,-
000 more. The Titanic was valued
at $10,000,000.
The rescuing steamer, Carpathia,
has 868 survivors on board, accord-

Phares Linkey, who lived retired
on the road leading from Mount-

from the former place, committed
suicide at his home Thursday. The

Benjamin, of Lancaster; and one
daughter, Mrs. Fred. Helfrich, of
