Diaz, bound from New York to Nor folk, reached this port this afternoon, Capt. Diaz reported that as the Hamil ton was about two miles from North east End lightship, off the Delaware coast, about 11 o’clock last night, she suddenly and without warning crashed into the fishing schooner John H. Ker, Capt. Redmond of New York, sending her to the bottom of the ocean, but not until all hands had been rescued. There was a thick fog prevailing at the time, and the schooner was under full sail, while the Hamilton was running at about eight or ten knots under reduced speed. The Ker tried to cross the Ham ilton s hows, but the big liner struck her square amidships. There was a crash ing of timber and cries for help and the Ker immediately began filling. The Hamilton at once stopped her en gitus and lacked off while the schooner quickly settled down in eleven fathoms of water and was lost to view in less than fifteen minutes. As the Ker was sinking the Hamilton launched her life-boats and Capt. Red mond and ihe fifteen men comprising the crew cf the doomed schooner were taken aboard the steamship. They were brought to Norfolk and were returned to-night to New York on the steamer Jamestown, of the Old Dominion Line. The Ker was a two-masted schooner, built In 1899, about ninety feet long and twenty feet beam. She had been out on the fishing banks for several days and was on her way to Fulton Fish Market, New York, with a full cargo of blue fish. The Hamilton sustained no injury, ex cept a little paint scraped off her bow. The fog was so thick at the time of the accident that it was impossible to see 100 yards ahead.

The party who escaped divided here, some remaining in Atlanta overnight, and others continuing their journeys. \ I'uMMCitjgcr'K kipericnce. Jesse I*. Rohr, a traveling salesman of Bahimo; e, one of those rescued, was seen at the Kimball House to-night. He had this t.o say of his experience lust night: “I was in the Pullman with the others who escaped with their lives when the wreck occurred. There was not an in stant’s warning. Wo heard suddenly an indistinct crash, and the next instant felt our car pitch forward and drop. The for ward end of the car tilled with water ( once and the lights went out. We heard the roar of rushing waters and knew we were in a stream of some kind. We got down on all fours and felt and crawled our way to the top of the c-ar and then out. 'ihe car was hanging by its re.,r trucks to the stone abutment of the culvert and swayed by the motion of the water, swung to and fro like a great pendulum. MODERN CHINESE ARTILLERYMEN. ‘Tt was pitchdark and the rain was coming down in torrents. Peering into the brtach in the track we could see a confused mass of broken cars already be ginning to burn. What Impressed me, was the fact that not a single call for help was heard. Those in the forward coaches must have met death instantly. The wreckage was on tire when we reached the top of our car and lit Up the scene brightly. Locking down toward the middle of our car, I saw the head and shoulders of a woman and soon hoard her cry: “Save us; we are alive!" but we could do nothing for her then, as there was no rope to be had and we Were afraid the car would swing from its position. The Struggle for Safety. “Then came the struggle to get to Ihe track abov.c. We were many feet from the level of the roadbed. Great chunks of earth, loosened by the rain, came falling down in us, and we were nearly buried two or three times. We feared, too. that the stone abutment, weakened in its posi tion by the giving away of th? earth, would loosen and crash in upon us. We took hold of the roots and several times as we neared the top of the bank, they TIEN TSIN, IHE PORT OF PEIvIN. pulled out and sent us tumbling back on the car. "Once, Mr. Flynn, who was one of our little party, got within grasping distance of the top. Suddenly, lo o.tr horror, he loss his hold and down he came. He did not stop at the car this time, how ever, but went on Into the river and was carried away by the terrific rush of the waters. I was delighted at daylight, however, lo see him walk up to our party in McDonough and tell ns that he had managed to catch a tree after a ride of ,i mile or more in the water. "Flagman Qulnlin worked like the boro that he Is. He finally got lo the top and ran as fast as he could o a farm house nearby and came with a rope. It was too short, hbwever, and he had to make the trip again to another house. Fin ally we got plenty of rope, and then we pulled the two ladles out of the forward •nd of the coach mid all were soon on the top of the ground.” t* \\ fill* IIS the Mississippi, When asked how wide the washout was, Mr. Rohr said: “I can't tell you accurately; to ma It seemed t lie width of the Mississippi river, and the roar of tlie flames and wa ter was something calculated to unstring any man.” Mr. W. W. I park, one of the killed, re cently moved from Macon to Atlanta. He is the Southern agent lor a baking pow der company of Richmond, Va., and was ; returning to Atlanta after a short trip. ! The passengers on the Columbus train, which luckily missed connection lasi night at McDonough, arrived In Atlanta , early this evening. The train left Colum j bus at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. When they reached Luella they were told that they would have to remain there . for the night as there was a washout , between them and McDonough. This | morning the train was backed to a con necting line and run over to Griffin, fthere it took the tracks of the Central of Gcor- I gia Road coming into Atlanta, i One of the passengers said that nearly everybody on board spent the night be moaning the fate which kept them from making the McDonough connection for At lanta. * It is many years since the railroads have had to contend with such a stress of weather. Rain has fallen every day this month and each day’s precipitation seem ed to be greater than that of the twenty four hours preceding it. All tracks have been patrolled with great care, double forces in some Instances being put on for this work. Engineers on runs through country affected by heavy rains were giv en instructions to run carefully and be on their guard. Owing to these precau- tions trains have been operated but slight ly behind" schedule lime. EXPERIENCE OF TWO L ADIES. They Were In the Pullman but Had n Hurd Time of It. Macon, Ga., June 24.—Miss -Mamie Mer ritt. who is a teacher in the Emerson School of Oratory of Boslon, gave her ex perience as follows: “It began to rain about the time we left Macon and rained InJessantly all the way up to McDonough. The conductor came through where we were silting in the rear of the sleeper and proposed lo let down my window ns the'rafn had begun to come in. As he put the window down I reached over to gather up my mackintosh, which I had spread across my lap and while I was bent over forward the crash came. • Quickly looking up I saw the Conductor being thrown headlong toward the front of the car. I was on the left of Ihe car, my friend was on the opposite side, and the conductor was foliing headlong over the seats on the right. That was the last I saw. Then I remembered the car plung ing down, down into the water. The car turned over on the side on which 1 was sitting and the next I knew, Miss Alden was lying across me. "The water had risen up to our waists and I noiced that Miss Alden s head was lower than mine, and fearing the water would cover her, I took her In my arms ind lifted her up. We both were wedged In. and copMn’t move our bodies below our waist*. For some time we lay help less and called for help, hut none carne. “Miss Alden had a steam piie across her hody. and she was across me, and I was farther wedged down with a berth partition across me. I began lo pull the debris off with my hands, and when 1 h: and removed ul! that was loose, I took a wooden beam nnd prized the steam pipe from off my friend. Finally, I got 1t loose and relieved her of Its pressure. I wa still wedged down by the partition. I got hold of another longer piece of wood and began lo prize up the parti tion, and at last pulled myself from un der it. Then I crawled out in the open space In the car, where I could look out through the broken aperture. "I could see the embankment and the rails and the men who tad gotten out nf th" smcklnn a-artment standing and walk ng about the < nihanknv nt. I oal el lo h m, hut they p.-id no attention, but a negro torter hend me and came to our assistance. “By his aid I managed to pull up on top of the sleeper and crawl to the end next the embankment. I then called again and again to the men to help u? up. but they only cried back to us: All right.’ “In the meantime Miss Alden ha-1 got onlo the roof cf the car and after she had fainted and after a long wait a gentleman Atlanta came down nai ankrnent and tier! a rope about my waist and I was drawn up he steep em bankment.” Kingman Quinlln'n Story. Flagman Qtiinlln said to-night: "I was sitting in the front end of the sleeper Glraldo, and had hardly got set tled when the crash came. ‘‘There was not warning for the others, but I suddenly noticed that the airbrakes had been turned on with a Jerk. I knew as quickly as thought that something was wrong. But before I could think again l was jammed into the corner and great pile of something fell upon me. I fought to get loose from my pinning?, but couldn't see a thing. It was as dark and silent as n grave I turned my head In all direc tions and Anally 1 saw a place that seem t and less dark than the rest of my surround ings. I half swam and half crawled to that place. It proved to be the upper rent end of the car. I got on top of the coach. I found that one of my lanterns was the only light still burning anywhere. "No sooner had I secured my lantern than I made my plans to go back up the road and flag the freight, which r knew was behind us. The tracks on which he had been running were fully ilfty or sixty feet above us. As soon as I landed against the embankment, I found that the dirt was loose and would crumble under the slightest weight. Up I started and down I would full, bring ing with me great heaps of the em bankment. Again I tried, and again I slipped. “I dug my Angers deep into the mud and squeezed the ground ns hard as I could with my knees. As soon as I rest ed a second I ran up the railroad track toward McDonough, listening every min ute. for the whistle of the freight train. The operator got orders to hold every thing ” AN’ INEVITABLE ACT OF GOD. Superintendent Jones Talks of the Awful Disaster. Macon. Ga . June 24.-Supt. A. Gordon Jones of the Southern Railway said of the deplorable affair: "It can only be explained as one of the inevitable acts of God. It seems that it was the result of a terrific rainstorm or cloudburst, something similar to that which caused the Johnstown flood. “The accident occurred at a deep, nar row creek, which had become so sud denly and so completely filled that the \olunmet of water carried such weight as to waslt out the masonry of stone and brick from under the trestle, which span ned the stream. Mr. Griffith, a super visor of tracks, was on the engine of the wrecked train, and if there had been a break in the iraek, he or the engineer or fireman would have seen it. The mas onry supporting the track must have been washed out. leaving the track itself Intact, so that the men. being unconscious of anything amiss, allowed the train to rush in on the unsupported track, which resulted In the fatal crush. "Flagman Quiniin, in compliance wilh the requirements of his position, was on the rear car of the train. Ah soon as ho could extricate himself from the wreck he crawled up tho embankment, and In spite of his injuries, walked back to Mc- Donough. the nearest station, and an nounced the accident, which had happen ed. It Is but due to Mr. Qulnlin to say that he acted with great promptness and heroism, in spite of grave obstacles. Fort unately, a freight train was standing on the track at McDonough, and it was immediately pressed into service, so that within fifteen minutes after the railroad company was notified of the accident, tw slstanee was at hand and everything pos sible was done for the relief of those who were still alive.” In answer to tile question about when the bridge would be replaced and trains be running again, Mr. Jones said: "Nearly all the material necessary to re l)'a< e the bridge Is on the ground and within twenty-four hours after the ma terial is in place tho bridge will be com pleted and trains tunning again. “The dep h of the ravine over which Ihe bridge passe* is so great as to require fifty feet piling and we didn't have any that length in stock. The piling has been supplied, however, and was on Us way to the place when the down passenger train from the scene of the accident ar rived at Macon.” V AUGHN M AKES A ST ATEMENT. Ills List of C'asnaltle* Does Not Agree With Others. Atlanta, June 24.—1n an Interview to night. Supt. W. A. Vaughn of the At lanta division of the Southern, said: "Supt. Jones wired me at my request the list of casualties as reported to him. It shows the names of seven passengers, fifteen employes of the roal and three bodies unidentified. “The neme of Elder Henson, supposed to have been a traveling man from Flor ida, does not appear on the list, nor have I heard anything about the eight negro section hands reported to have been killed. "Ever since the recent heavy rains set in engineers have been ordered to exercise the utmost precaution in running their train*. The forces of trackmen who patrol the tracks has been doubled and the road bed closely watched. This fact accounts for Ihe number of employes who were, on Ihe wrecked train. Supervisor D. Y. Grif fith. whose name appears among the list of Ihe dead, was going up and down the dlvlelon seeing that his men were attend ing lo their duties when he met hi* death. "Unless the rain continues all day to morrow, as It has to-day, Supt. Jones h°P*x to have the track in condition to resume the regular schedules of all trains by to morrow night. In the meantime our trains to Macon will run over the Central of Georgia.” A late dispatch from McDonough says that two of the unidentified white* are supposed to he Robert Buchanan of At lanta and R.

NO CHANCE FOR CLEVELAND. Hrynu Sentiment Too Strong to Jus tify an Effort. Washington, June 24 —Cleveland admir ers in this vicinity cannot see any opening for tHeir champion at this stage of the presidential race, a.’.though he has been strongly suggested in certain quarters. Hon. John Goode of Virginia, former solicitor general dtiring the Cleveland ad ministration, in discussing the situation to-day, said that he would gladly aup port a movement to nominate 'Mr. Cleve land on the Democratic ticket if there were the slightest probability of bring.ng about such a result. ‘‘lt is too late." said he, ' to organize a movement in behalf of Mr. Cleveland. It might have been accomp.ishcd six months ago or before the delegates to the Demo cratic Convention were selected. Now the state conventions have been held and more than two-thirds of the- delegates have been instructed to vote for Mr. Bry an. Those delegates would not dare vio late their instructions, for it would mean political suicide for them at home. It is note likely that the convention could bo stamp* led foi Mr. Cleveland, and it is hut idle to talk of the convection throw ing Mr. Bryan overboard, and turning to Mr. Cleveland. In my Ju gment, and I believe it is the judgment ot every reas onable man, the trend of sentiment it> the. Democratic party is so fixed in Mr. Bryan that it would Im* nothing short of a miracle that would turn them aside from that course at this late day.” Other well-known admlreres of Mr. Cleveland entertain and express similar views. It Is well known In this connec tion that Mr. Cleveland and some of his warmest friends war- the originators od the Dewey boom which collapsed as sud denly as it was launched. There is n# use disputing the fact that the practical business men of the Democratic not only in the East, but in the South, still have a fooling of affection for Mr. Cleveland, and would gladly second any practical movement to return him to the White House if they regarded it as a possibility under existing conditions. The men in control of the Democratic organi zation at p:esent would further wrack tha party rather thun ?ee Mr. Cleveland again commanding the Demo ratio column. HEAVY RAINS IN ALABAMA. Causiug Severe Damage #o Crop* and Loam to Industries. Birmingham. Ala., June 21—Heavy rains the past few days have done consid erable damage. It has rained every day this month in this section, the to;a.l rain fall since the first of April being 24. W inches, as compared to on annual rain fall of about 45 inches. . Reports from the farming districts at* to the effect thm the fields hive bean so soaked with water that farmers have been unable to do any work fftr several weeks, and grass is running away with the crop?. Cotton has suffered more than any othei crop, while fruit and vegetables are rot ting. All the swampy lands are oovere.d with water, and the stream* and river* are raging torrents. The railroads are beginning to feel the effects of the continuous rainfall, and trains are unable in many Instances to make their schedule because of the ne cessity of running with caution over a w iter-soaked roadbed.
