8 THE TIMES NEW BL00MFIEL1), PA.. NOVEMBER 18, 1879. Collision with an loeburg. The steamship Arizona, of the Gulon line, tailed from New York for Europe on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 4, having on board 800 souls, all told, pasienger and crew, Bhe waa the pioneer sblp of a fleet destined to compete in lteetness and com modlouenesi with the White Star line. We were In latitude 47 north and longi tude 6!P west; On board all waa peaceful con Aden ce and hope. After dinner on Fri day according to their wont, the ladles sat in the saloon and whiled away the hours with gleeful songs, while a number of the gentleman occupied "Social Hall" (smok ing room) and amused themselves selling pools on the vessel's ruu at auction. Suddenly thore was a crash and the mon ey gatherer and his gold and silver were hurled to the floor. The jibbing voices ceased and terror seized upon every soul. Half theoooupantsofthe room were spraw ling on the floor and the rest were rushing from the place with blanched faces and pal pitating hearts. The ship going at topmost speed, had plunged head on into a mountain of ice. The hush ship trembled like an aspen leaf nd recoiled, but again advanced and struck the Iceberg, but fortunately with diminish ed force. The first blow had stove in her bows, crushing them in as though they were made of cardboard. Tons of ice fell upon the decks, or were forced through the .gaping hole In the bow. A few moments later we parted company 'with the iceberg, which floated away with 'its three tall pinacies distinctly visible against the night sky. As it faded into the gloom it presented the appearance of a phantom three-masted vessel. The Arizona's bows were completely stove in and a tangled mass of iron plates and braces and stays was heaped up in a ' frightful confusion where a few moments before a shapely prow had cleft the waveB. How great was the damage done, none could say. A rumor bqgan to circulate that several of the crew had been crushed in their bunks and were buried beneath the mass of iron and the ice which had been forced through the gp made by the collision. It was only too true. Three unfortunates, bruised and bloody, were helped on deck, and their woe begone appearance did much to increase the terror of the situation. The feeling that the ship was sinking caused several gentlemen to request Mr. Fierrepout Edwards, the British Vice Con sul, to urge the captain to have the boats prepared. This he promised to do and one boat was lowered, after considerable delay during wbioh the first officer descended to make an examination of the nature of the fracture. When he returned on board it was an nounced that the steamship would lie to during the night. A thorough examina tion of the fore-hold showed the Arizona to be water tight. This fact considerable tranquilized the minds of the passengers, and gradually they returned to the saloon. Social Sensation In Indiana. A dispatch from Eokoma, Indiana, says: Miss Nora Griffing, daughter of Dr. Grif fing, of Logansport, was to be married on Tuesday evening, at the residence of Mr. Ross J. Hazeitine, in this city to Mr. Lute J. Smith, of Logansport. The minister and invited guests were waiting the arrival of the bride when the following note was handed the would-be groom by a messenger which read as follows: " Blame not Willie her brother. God forgive, but you never can. Forgive me. I'm driven nearly crazy; I know not what I do. When I left you this evening I knew not what I know now. If I could only find my ring. O, God, my head 1 " It was soon ascertained that she bad left on the 7:30 train south, with a prominent young attorney of this city. All kinds of rumors are afloat, none of whioh we care to speak of. Miss Griffing is a very pretty blonde, about 18 years old.and very intelli gent. Mr. Smith is rather an intelligent looking man and is 80 years old. He is al most crazy over the affair. tW Gen. Walker the Superintendent o f the census, is anxious that the statistics to be secured next June should be as accurate as possible, and is constantly calling the attention of the people to points of infor mation whioh they should be fully prepared to give when called upon by tha eoumera tors. The enumeration will commence on the first of June, and close by the thirtieth. In previous oases the enumeration extend' ed over several months, and Gen. Walker thinks that in many cases the statistics of Agriculture embraced parts of two differ ent crops. . What is wanted is a correct re port of the farm products for the year end ing. June 1. Agricultural societies and . olubs are requested to give notice of the wishes of the Census Bureau in this regard so that farmers may have a full statement , of their products ready when the census enumerator calls upon them. This infor mation is not required for any purposes of taxation, so that the census officers must not be confonnded with the township Asses sor. Citizens should freely give the cen sus officers all the information in their power, so that the statistics may be accu rate and reliable. ' STOP and.
