IN THE WAVES
Steamer Is Overwhelmed in Big
Storm Off Halifax Coast.
TWENTY-FIVE bodies found
Death List Known to Be Thirty-
Two-Five Persons Were Cast
Upon the Beach Unhurt.
A special from Halifax, N. 8., says:
Xhe worst marine disaster in the long
list of steamers wrecked among the
rocks and shoals at the entrance of the
Bay of Fundy occurred Saturday morn
ing when the side-wheel steamer City
of Monticello, bound from St. Johns for
for Yarmouth, was quickly over
whelmed by the mountainous seas on
ly four miles from her destination,
aiMl engulfed with thirty-four of her
passengers and a crew. A heavy gale
was raging at the time and there was
a tremendous sea.
The place where the Monticello
struck is at the mouth of the Bay of
Fuudy, where the waters of the bay
join those of the Atlantic. There are
many reefs and shoals at this point,
and the currents are many and
changeable, it being one of the most
dangerous places on the coast.
Just before the vessel foundered an
attempt was made to reach the land in
a small boat in charge of the quarter
master, and it contained Third Officer
Fleming, a stewardess named Smith
and three passengers. This boat was
smashed by a huge comber, and the
occupants being hurled high upon the
beach at Pembroke uninjured. It is
be ieved these are the only survivors.
The City of Monticello was used in
the coastwise service between Halifax,
Yarmouth and St. Johns, aud was due
at Halifax Sunday morning. She was
an iron, side-wheel boat of about 1,000
tons gross, and was commanded by
Captain Harding, of Yarmouth, where
most of the thirty-seven meu belong.
She was formerly called the City of
Norfolk, and was built at Wilmington,
Del., in 1866. When she received
British register her name was changed.
She was valued at $05,000, and was
partially insured. The vessel had been
rebuilt witbiu fifteen years, but was
uot regarded safe iu an exceptionally
heavy sea. She carried a crew out of
proportion to her sise.
TWENTY-FIVE BODIES RECOVERED.
ABpecial of Sunday from Yarmouth,
N. S., says: “The shore of this coun
ty for ten miles east and west is
strewn with the wreckage of the hull
and cargo of the steamer City of Mon
ticello, which foundered Saturday
morning, and twenty-live bodies of
victims of the disaster have been re
covered from the sea, which is still
raging with terriffic fury. The death
roll so far as known is thirty-two.
“Many people have assembled at
Rockville, near where the first body
came ashore, and numerous relatives
of members of the crew, who nearly all
belonged to points on this coast, have
arrived to identify the dead. The
bodies were arranged in a room in the
public hall and Coroner Fuller, who
held an inquest, gav6 an opinion of ac
cidental drowning. All the bodies are
terribly battered.
“The first body was found at day
light, wheu the zinc lifeboat, which
was supposed by the survivors of the
first boat to have been swamped, was
discovered on the shore. A few yards
distant were the bodies of Mr. El
dridge, a passenger; Second Engineer
Poole, Mr. Fripp, a traveler for Mc-
Gee’s Sons, of St. John, and the body
of a seaman. All four btid life belts
aronud them.
“At short intervals along the beach
eleven more bodies were found, mak
ing fifteen found np to noon today.
They had all evidently some ashore in
the life-boat and were killed on strik
ing the beach, not one escaping.
“It is a coincidence that the ship
Peter Stewart was wrecked off this
shore n few years ago in the month of
•Tuly and a boat load of men came in
w here the Monticello’s boat was found.
Half of the men were dead before th€
boat touched the land.”

Tea Kettle Improvement.
A drop-spout tea kettel has been in
vented. By its use It is possible to
draw any quantity of water from the
boiling kettle without disturbing It,
simply by turning the spout down to
a point below the level of the water
in the kettle: The spout is fed at the
bottom by two asbestos-packed tubes,
which make the joint perfectly tight.
At the upper end of the sprout is a
heat-proof knob for manipulating it as
desired, and a hook by which it la
fastened in an upright position.

Mrs. J. A. Ferre, who resides near 905 Main Street, Hertford,
Conn., says:
•• My daughter Lulu became very ill with St. Vitus dance over a yenr ngo. She became, so bed
that she lo*t the use of her rignt arm and side, and we thought at one time she wotid lose her
speech Her tongue was almost paralyzed. Mie was so had she could not feed herself, a; u at
night she would get so nervous I had to sit and hold her I tried several doctors but they did not
do he*- any good. I did uot find anything that would help her until I ttied Dr. Greeue’a Ncrvura
blood aua nerve remedy. She if uovr, by the use of this medicine, eutiiely cured. *’
C. H. Bailey, Esq., of Waterbury, Vt., writes:
“I am more than glad to write about tnv little daughter. Until n short time ■go she bad al
ways been a very delicate child and subject to sick spell, lasting weeks at n lime She was very
nervous, and our family doctor said we would never raise her, she was so delicate and frchle.
We tried many remedies without the least good. We felt much nnvlety about her, especially aa
no doctors could benefit her, and had great fear for her future Learning of the wonders being
done bv Dr. Greene’s Nenmra blood and nerve remedy, I determined to give it to het. She soon
commenced to improve under its use, and rapidly gained in every respect. She eat, and sleeps
well, and her nerves are strong The medicine has done wonders for her and it Is the beat we
ever knew. I recommend Dr. Greene s Nervuia, blood aud nerve remedy, to everybody.
Mrs. J. Learmonth, of 776 Broadway, South Boston, Mass., says:
"Atten years of age mv daughter became affected with a nervous condition which aron de
reloped into St. Vitus’ dance. It was pronounced bv the attending physician to be a very severe
attack. The mouth would be drawn spasmodically far to one side, flic hands ard arm, were rest
less and constantly twitching. Her limbs also were weak; her ankles bent underher M(that ft
was almost impossible to walk. She was so nervous that she would scream almost like umv .UjC
and then have fits of crying. After two months’ treatment without n cure I concluded to try
Dr. Greene’a Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Three bottles entirely cured her. t>e to nor
