FORTY PERISH
British Steamer Hohegan Is
Wreoked In a Gale Off
v Falmouth, England.
CREW’S HEROIC BEHAVIOR
But Few of Those on Board When
the Accident Occurred Succeed In
Beaching Land, as a Terrific Gale
Flays Havoc With Lifeboats.
Falmouth, England, Oct 15.—The
British steamer Mohegan, Captain Grif
fiths, belonging to the Atlantic Trans
portation company, has been wrecked
in the tidnity of the Lizard, between!
the Manacles and the Lowlands. It is
believed that about 143 persons of her
•and crew were drowned.
Only 81 survivors have reached the
shore.
The Mohegan was formerly the Cleo
patra of the Wilson and Furness-Ley-
land line. She left London for New
York on Thursday, having on board, as
far as can be ascertained at present,
19 passengers and a crew of 115 officers
and men. .
When the steamer was seen to be in
distress, lifeboats put out from the shore
and every effort possible was made to
save the passengers. The coast at this
tint is extremely dangerous and has
ten the scene of many wrecks.
The general opinion at present is that
the machinery of the Mohegan became
disabled during a heavy easterly gale
which was blowing and that she ran
ashore and foundered.
A lifeboat landed 31 of the passengers
and crew of the Mohegan. One of the
former, a woman, died after being
brought ashore. One of the survivors,
Mr. George Maule of New York, was
interviewed after he had'sufficiently re
covered to be able to tell the story of
the wreck. He said:
T am a shipper o( horses, employed by
the American Transportation company.
We left London on Thursday and all
went well until 7 o’clock yesterday
evening, when most of the passengers
were at dinner. The steamer was going
at fall speed and suddenly we heard a
loud crash, which seemed to denote that
we had collided with some other vessel.
But when we rnshed on deck we found
that the Mohegan was on the rocks be
tween the Manacles and the Lowlands,
in the vicinity of the lizard.
Crew Acted Like Heroes
•Orders were given immediately to
lower the boats and the crew of the
steamer behaved like heroes. Her cap
tain stood on tbs bridge and the great
est order prevailed among the officers
and crew. The steamer, however, im
mediately began to-settle by the hold.
Two boats wars launched. The women
were sent away in the first boat. Bat
whether these boats reached land ‘
I do not know. ^ _
>1 managed to seenre a life belt and
jumped overboard in company with the
chief officer of the Mohegan, Mr. Couch,
He made me take off my coat and shoes,
Soon after that we were parted from
each other. When I was leaving ths
vessel * little girl begged piteously that
I try to save her. as she did not want to
die yet. I was powerless to help her.
•’Eventually I caught hold of a plank
which was floating on the water and I
clung to it for seven and a half hours.
At the expiration of that time I was
ked up by a tug. I could not have
led much longer.
*1 cannot explain how the accident
occurred. The whole mutter is not very
clear to me.’*
From other sources it was learned
that the Mohegan sank about 20 min
utes after she ran on the rocks.
All of the survivors are in a pitiable
E dition and some of them have been
ly injured by waves and rocks and
are suffering from bruises and torn and
fractured limbs.
As the day wore on further reports
reesived here showed that 45 survivors
of the Mohegan were landed at Port
Houstock, Cornwall, where the bodies
of five dead persons have also been re
ceived. Then came the announcement
that 14 of the crew of the wrecked
steamer had been seen alive on the rocks
near the scene of the disaster.
AH Hands Were Dining,
of the passengers rescued by the

passengers were dining when the catas

CASE BROUQHT TO AN END
pursuing a dangerous courier -
William Moore, a seaman of the Mo
hegan, belonging to London, was among
the men who succeeded in reaching
Port Houstock. He said the vessel
struck forward, on the starboard bow,'
and sank head first, her stem rising
right up in tbe air. Moore sprang over
board and after swimming for a consid
erable time succeeded in reaching an
empty lifeboat belonging to the steamer.
He got into the boat and started to row
for the shore. Some time afterwards he
one of bis shipmates, a man named
Hilson, on a raft. Hi Ison was exhausted
and Moore dragged him into the life
boat. Hilson’s shoulder was badly
injured.
e sea was then running heavily
and the lifeboat was nearly full of wa
ter and after escaping two or three rocks
she was smashed to pieces. Moore and
Hilson were washed ashore.

Charleston, Oct 15.—Senator
R. Tillman, who has been working to
have troops embarked from Charleston

sured by Adjutant General H. C. Cor
bin that the honor of sending the sol
diers to the islands will be equally di
vided between Charleston and Savan
nah. Mayor Smith has received from
Senator Tillman a copy of a letter from
General Corbin, in which the latter says
among other things:
“Savannah, Ga., has been chosen as
one of the porta at which we shall
bark the troops. The secretary of
desires me to inform you that he will
give instructions that Charleston, also,
be used for this purpose. In other
words, he desires to arrange that

For Cheaper Pullman Berths.
Atlanta, Oct 15.—Some of the larg
est railroad companies in the United
States are behind a movement to get
fares reduced for berths in sleeping
cars. Bailway managers take the posi
tion that Pullman rates are too high,
and that a reduction will induce many
people to travel on the palace and sleep
ing cars who do not now enter them.
The subject will come up next week at
the convention of general passenger and
ticket agents at Detroit.
Proclamation by Johnston,
Montgomery, Ala., Oct 15.—Gov

Much Interest Centered In the Trial
Because of the Able Counsel on Both
Sides, Thomas E. Watson Appearing
For the Defendant.
Zebulox, Ga., Oct. 15.—The jury in
io case of Tom Langford, accused of
complicity in Sheriff Guinn’s murder,
for which crime Tom Delk was hanged
over* year ago and his father, Taylor
Delk, is now serving a life sentence in
the penitentiary, today returned a ver
dict of not guilty after being out only
short time.
The evidence for the state was practi
cally the same as that in the Delk trials.
Langford introduced no evidenoe, but
made his statement, which corrobor
ated the state’s witnesses, except that
part which connected him with the kill
ing of Sheriff Guinn. He admitted that
he was in the house at the time of the
murder, but placed the crime on Tom
Delk and old man Taylor Delk, who, he
said, were in the house also.
The courthouse was crowded with
men and women to hear the concluding
speeches of Messrs. Bloodworth and
Watson, both of whom made able talks.
* Much interest centered in the
cause of the splendid legal talent em
ployed on both sides.
Langford had been in jail here ever
since his arrest in Arkansas in July,
1897. He was defended by Messrs.
Dominisk of this place, Woodward ef
Barnesville, and Thomas E Watson of
Thomson, while Solicitor Bloodworth,
Jnde Dupree of this place, and Senator-
elect John F. Redding of Barnesville
conducted the presocution.
HELP FOR THE GEORGIANS.
Flood Sufferers Will Be Given Army
Rations by Uncle Sam.
Washington, Oct 15.—Government
aid in the shape of army rations will be
given to the sufferers from the recent
floods in Georgia who are in need of thp
barest necessities of life. The applica
tion for assistance came to the war de
partment from Hon. William Clifton,
secretary of state of Georgia, and Rep
resentative Livingston.
Secretary Alger referred the matter
that a conference be had with the offi
cials of the department of justice before
anything was done. This was held this
morning and Solicitor General Rich
ards, who is acting attorney general,
holds that , while there is no direct statu
tory authority for extending such re
lief, there is no statutory prohibition
and in view of the fact that the go
ment has given assistance in such emer
gencies as the present, he thonght that
the executive power generally would
authorize the relief asked for.
A RESUMPTION OF TRAFFIC.
Yellow Fever Situation In Mississippi
Now More Hopeful.
Jackson, Miss., Oct 15.—The yellow
fever situation is more hopeful. The
weather continues cool, the thermome
ter going down to 44 last night The
following reassuring order was issued
by the state board of health today:
“Owing to the lateness of the season,
it is believed that yellow fever could
not establish a focus at a aoninfected
place. Therefore be it ordained by the
executive committee of the Mississippi
state board of health that all railroads
are permitted to resume passenger
traffic to and from all noninfected
new cases and three deaths.
Freight Wreck Near Mobile.
Mobile, Oct 15.—There was a bad
freight wreck on the Mobile and Bir
mingham railroad, at Rural, 95 miles
north of Mobile. The engine and seven
box cars of a southbound freight ran
into a spreading switch and were de
railed and wrecked. Engineer Jacobs
jumped and was slightly bruised about
the forehead and back. No one else
was injured. It is supposed that some
one ptuled the bolts out of the switch
bars. The track was torn up for 150
feet.
- Doctor Uses His Pistol.
Morristown, .Term., Oct. 15.—Dr.
David Shields fatally shot Morgan Mo-
Whirter here. McWhitter attacked Dr.
Shields and alleged intimacy with Mrs.
McWhirter while attending her profes
sionally. Shields denied the allegation
and shot McWhirter in self defense.
Scrofula to
Consumption.
Any one predisposed to Scrofula can
never be healthy and,vigorous. This
taint in the blood naturally drifts into
Consumption. Being such a deep-seated
blood disease, Swift’s Specific is the
only known cure for Scrofula, because
it is the only remedy which can reach
the disease.
Scrofula apoeared on the head of my little
grandchild when only 18 months old. Shortly
after breaking out It spread rapidly all over
her body. The seaheon the soma would peel

A BANK CASHIER SUICIDES.
Ell stone Kills Himself After Wreck
ing the Tioga National.
Oswego, N. Y., Oct. 15.—The doors
of the Tioga National bank, of which
Senator Thomas C. Platt is president,
are closed, possibly forever, and the
body of Eli W. Stone, the venerable as
sistant cashier, a confessed defaulter, is
awaiting burial He died just before
daylight and it waa supposed hie death
was natural, but with the cloaing of tha
bauk and the announcement of the de
falcation there comes the report that
Stone died by his own hand.
Now comes the announcement that
for 20 years he had been robbing the
bank sytematically and wae a de
faulter far more than $42,000.
The first news of the trouble came
when Comptroller of the
Dawes telegraphed from Wi
to Cashier F. K Platt to does t_, _
doors. It was ordered that he should
receive no more deposits and should
transact no more badness of any kind,
National Bauk Examiner O. F. Van
Brocklin having been placed in charge.
The cashier of the bank is a brother
of Senator Platt. He has been in snob
feeble health for several years, how
ever, that all the actual duties of the
cashier’s office had been in the hands ol
Stone. ;

former United States ambassador al
Loudon and present secretary of state,
wrote to him on leaving England, say
ing:
•I sometimes think that the only ad
vantage we yankees possess over you is
that we have two native countries while
you have only one."
Colonel Hay appears also to think
well of the suggested Washington me
morial in England, expressing approval
of tbe scheme, which he regmntedT
being in the highest degree magnani
mous. He remarked that it would be
the first time any country had erected a
memorial to the man who had beaten
its people in arms, adding that the sub*
~~~~itions must come exclusively from
„ lishmen as, naturally, citizens of
the United States could not participate
any way.

Saved From Certain Death. ^
Victoria, B. O., Oct. 1ft. — The
schooner Viva has rescued from almost
certain death Harry Thompson, Frank
Johnston and John Christensen, who
were attempting to sail from St. Mich
aels to San Francisco in a boat only 2d
feet long. They had come from Lake
Bennett down the Yukon, had safely
crossed Behring sea to Unalaska and
were on their way south when a severe
gale sprang up and their frail craft
would doubtless soon have foundered
had it not been seen and saved by the
Viva on Sept. 90. -
