Subject : "The Dangers of Pessimism. Text : "I sai 1 in my hast", AU men are li-trs." Psa'.na cxvJ., 11. Swiniiipd, betrayerl, persecuted David, In a paroxysm of peiuiancu and rage, thus in sulted the human race. David Limself falsi no l when he said, --All m"n are liars." He imo'oziz' and says he whs unusually pro voked, and that ho was hn-tv when he liurled such universal denunciation", "I said in my haste." aud po on. It waa in him only a mo mentary triumph of pessimism. Tnre is ever and anon, and never more than now, a disposition abroad to distrust everybody, and because some bank employes defraud to distrust all bank employes, and because some police ofnci-rs h.-.ve taken bribes to be lieve that all policemen take bribes, and be cause divorce cases ar in the court to be lieve that most, if not a!!, marriages relations aro unhappy. There ara men who seem rapidly coming to adopt this creed: All men are liars, 6"oundrels, thieves, libertines Yv'lien anew ease of perfidy coin ;s to the surfue, these people chip their hands in b-o. It ffive 1quaney to their break 'tut if the morning UHV.pnpor lisc!osM J new exposure or a Jr.'w Tvrr,'st- Tbe-V '-row fat on v rmin. rtioy join thfi deviis in lieilin jubilation over reercuncy and pollution. if some one iirr stod is proved innocent, it is to them a lis ipiOi'ntmon'. They woul I rather believo evil than pood. They are vultures, pre ferring carrion. They would like to be on a committee to find som-tiling wrong. They wish that as eyeglasses have been invented to improve the, sight, and ear trumpets have been in vent d to help the hearing, a corre sponding instrument might be invented for the nose, to bring nearer a malo ior. Pessimism snys of the church, "The ma jority of the members are hypocrites, although, it is no temporal advantage to bo a member of the church, and thr-reToro there is no temptation to hypocrisy." Pessimism says that thu Influence of newspapers is only bad, p. nd that they are corrupting the world, when the fact is that they are the mightiest agency for the r.rn st of crime and the spread of intelligence, and the printing press, secu lar aud religious, is setting the notions free. The whole tenueney of things is toward cynicism, an 1 the g.ispel of Smaslmp. Wo e;usT David of the text for a paroxysm of disgust, because ho apologizes for it to all the centuries, but it is a deplorable fact that many have taken the attitude of perpetual distrust and anathematization. Tnere nr., we must a 'mit, deplorable facis, and we would not hide or minify them. We are not mujh encouraged to find that th great work of official relorm in New York City be gins by a proposition to the liquor dealers to break tne law by keeping their saloons open on Humbiy from two in the afternoon to eleven at night. Never since America was discovered has there been a worse insult to sobriety and de cency und religion than that proposition. That proposition is equal to saying: "Let law and orderand religion havo a chance on Sunday forenoons, but Sunday afternoons open all the gates to gin and alcohol and So'iledam schnapps and sour mash anil Jer sey lightning, and the variegated swill of breweries and drunkenness and crime. Con secrate the first half of the Sunday to God and the last balf to the devil. Let the chil dren on their way to Sunday-schools in New York at 3 o'clock in the afternoon meet the alcoholism that does more than all other cacses combined to rob children of their fathers and mothers and strew the land with helpless orphanage. Surely strong drink can kill enough people and destroy enough families and sufficiently crowd the alms houses and penitentiaries in six days of the week without giving it an extra half day for pauperism and assassination. Although we are not very jubilant over a municipal reform that opens the exercises bv a doxology to rum. wo havo full faith in Go 1 and in the gospel which will yet sink all Iniquity ns tho Atlantio Ocean melts a flake of snow. What wo want, and what I believe we will have, is a great religious awakening that will moralize and Christian ize our great populations and make them superior to temptations, whether unlawful or legalized. So I see no cause for dls heartenment. Pessimism is a sin, and those who yield to it cripple themselves for the war, on one side of which are all the forces of darkness, led on by Apollyon, an 1 on the other side of which are all the forces of ' light, led on by tho Omnipotent. I risk the statement that the vast majority of Eeople are doing the best they can. N ne undred and ninety-nine out of a thousand of tho officials of the municipal and the United States governments are honest. Out of a thousand bank presidents and cashiers, nine hundred and ninety-nine are worthy the position they occupy. Out of a thousand merchants, mechanics and profes sional men, nine hundred and ninety-nine are doing their duty as they understand it. Out of one thousand engineers and conduc tors and switchmen, nine hundred and ninety-nine nro tru to their responsible posi tions. It is seldom that people arrive at positions of responsibility until they havo been tested over and over again. If the theory of the pessimist were accurate, so ciety would long ago have gone to pieces, and civilization woultl have been submerged with barbarism, and the whoel of the cen turies "would have turned back to the dark Rfrcs. A wrong impression is made that be oause two men falsify their bank accounts those two wrongdoers are blazoned before the world, while nothing is said In praise of the hundreds of bank clerks who have stood at tneir deslcs year in and year out until their health is well nigh gone, taking not a pln'i worth of that which belongs toothers for themselves, though with skiltul stroke of pen they might have enriched themselves and built their country seats on tho banks of the Hudson or the Khine. It is a mean thing in human naturo that men and -women aro not praised for doing well, but only excoriated when they do wrong. By divine arrangement the most of the families of the earth are at peace, and the most of those united in marriage have for each other affinity and affection. They rajty have occasional dlffere-n(,.?5j b?re and there a season or pout, but the vast ma jority of those In the conjugal relation chose the most appropriate companionship, and are happyin that relation. You hear nothing of the quietude and happiness of such homes, though nothing but death will them part. But one sound of marital discord makes the ears of a continent, and perhaps of a hemisphere, alert. The one letter that ought never to have been written prlnttd in a newspaper makes more talk than the millions of letters that crowd the postofflces and weigh down the mail carrlers.with expressions of honest love. Tolstoi, the great Russian author, is wrong when he prints a book for the depreciation of marriage. If your observation has put you in an attitude of deploration for the marriage state, one of two things is true lu regard to you. Y'ou have either been un fortunate in your acquaintanceship, or you yourself are morally rotten. The world, not as rapid as we would like, but still with long strides, is on the way to the scenes of beatitude and felicity which the Bible de picts. The man who cannot see this is wrong, either In his heart or liver or spleen. Look at the great Bible picture gallery, where Isaiah has set up the pictures of arborescence, girdling the world with cedar and fir and pine and boxwood and the Honied by a child, and St. John's pictures of waters and trees, and white horse cavalry, and tears wipod away, and trumpets blown and harps struck, and nations redeemed. While there are 10,000 things I do not like, I have not seen any discouragem nt for the cause of God for twenty-five yeaia. The kingdom is coming. The earth is pre paring to put on bridal array. We need to be getting our anthems and grand marches read-. In our hymnologywe shall have more use for "Antioch" than for "Wind bam " for "Ariel," than for "Naomi." Let 'Hark From the Tombs a Doleful Cry !" be submerged with "Joy to the World, the Lord Is Come !" Really, If I thought the human race were as determined to be bad and getting worse, as the pessimists repre sent I would think It was hardly worth paving. If after hundreds of years of gos pellzatlon no improvement has been made, let us give it up and go at somoUiing else besides praying and preaching. My opinion Is that If we had enough faith in aulck results and could go forth rightly equipped with the gopel call the battle for God and righteousness would end with this nineteenth century, anl the twentieth century only five or six yean off, v.c'jld be gin the millennium, and Christ would reign, either in person oa some throne set up between the Alleghanies and the Rockies or in the institutions ot m ;rcy and grandeur Bet up t.y His ransomed people. Discouraged work will meet with deieat. Expeotant and buoyant work will gain the victory. Start out with the idea that all men are liars an 1 scoundrels, and that everybody is as bad as he can be, and that society, and the church, and the world are on the way to demolition, and the only us you will ever bo to the world will te to in.;r'H9c the value of lots In a cemetery. We need a more cheerful front in all our religious work. People have enough trouble already and do not want to ship another cargo of trouble In the shape ot religiosity. If religion has been to you a peace, a defense, an inspira tion and a Jov, say so. Say it by word of mouth, by pen in your hand, by faoe illu mined with a divine satisfaction. If this world is ever to be taken for Go 1, It wi'l not be by groans, but by halleluiahs. If we could present the Christian religion ns it really is, in its true attractiveness, all the people would accept it, and accept it right away. Tho cities, the nations would cry out: "Give us that, give it to us In all its holy magnetism and gracious power I Put that salve on our wounds ! Tnrow back the shutters for that morning light. Knock off these chains with thtit silver hammer ! GIvj us Christ His pardon, lli-s peae. His com fort. His heaven! Give us Christ in song, Christ in sermon, Christ in book, Christ iu living example !" As a system of didactics religion has never gained one inch ot progress. As a tech nicality it befogs m re than it Irradiates. As a dogmatism it is an awful failure. Hut as a fact, as a re-en forcemeat, as a transtlgura tlon. it is the mightiest thing that ever descended from the heavens or touched tlin earth. Exemplify it in the life of a good man or a gooa woman, and no one can help but like it. A city missionary visited a house in London and found a sici and dying boy. There was an orange lying on his bed, and the missionary said, "Where did you get that orange?' He said : "A man brought it to me. He comes here often and reads the Bible to me and prays with me and brings mo nici things to eat." "What is bis name? said tho city missionary. "I forget his name," Slid the sick boy, "but ho makes great speeches over iu that great building." pointing to the Parliament House of London. The mis sionary asked, "Was his name Mr. Glad stone?" "Oh, yes," said the boy, "that is his name Mr. Gladstone !" Do you tell mo a man can see religion like that and not like it? There is an old fashioned mother in a farm house. Perhap she i-3 somewhere in the seventies, perhaps sevoaty-flve or seventy-six. It is the early evening hour. Through spectaoles No. 8 she Is reading a newspaper until toward bedtime., when she takos up a well-worn book, called the. Bible. I know from the Illumination in her faoe she is reading one of the thanksgiving psalms, or in Revelation the story of the twelve pearly gates. After awhile she closes the book and folds her hands and thinks over the past and seems whispering the names of her children, some of them on earth and some of tbem in heaven. Now a smile is on her face, and now a tear, and sometimes the smile catches tho tear. The scenes of a long life come back to her. One minute she sees all the children smiling around her, with their toys and sports and strange ques tionings. Then she remembers several of them jipwn sick with infantile disorders. Then She sees a short grave, but over it cut in marble, "Suffer tiiem to come to Me." Then there is the wedding hour, and the neighbors In, and the promise ot "I will," and the departure from the old homestead, then a scene of hard times, and scant bread and struggle. Then she thinks of a few years with gush of sunshine and Sittings of dark shadows and vicissitudes. Then she kneels down slowly, for many years have stiffened the Jointg, and the ill nesses of a lifetime have made her less sup ple. Her prayer is a mixture of thanks for sustaining grace during all those years, and thanks for children good and Christian and kind, and a prayer ror rne wandermg boy, whom she hopes to see come home be fore her departure. And then her trembling lips speak of the land of reunion, whore she expects to meet her loved ones already translated, and after telling the Lord in very simple language how much she loves Him, and trusts Him, and hopes to see Him soon, I hear her pronounce the quiet "Amen," and she rises up a little more difficult effort than kneeling down. And then she puts her head on the pillow for the night, and the angels of safety and peace stand sen tinel about that couch lft the farm house, and her face ever and anon shows signs of dreams abort the heaven she read of before retiring. In the morning tho day s work has begun down stairs, and seated at tho table the remark is made, "Mother must have overslept her self." And the grandchildren also notice that grandmother is absent trora her usual plaoe at the table. One of the grandchildren goes to the foot of the stairs and cries, "Grandmother!" But there is no answer. Fearing something is the matter, they go up to see, and all seems right. The spectaoles and Bible on tho stand, and the covers of the bed are smooth, and tho face is calm ; her white hair on the white pillow case like snow on snow already fallen. But her soul is gone up to look upon the thing? that the night before she had been reading of in the Scriptures. What a transporting look on her dear old wrinkled face! She has seen the "King in His beanty." She has been wel comed by the "Lamb who was slain." And her two oldest sons, having hurried up stairs, look and whisper, Henry to George, "That is religion !" George to Henry, "Yes, that is religion '." There is a New York merchant who has boon in business I should say torty or fifty years. During an old-fashioned revival of religion in boyhood he gave his heart to God. He did not make the ghastly and in finite and everlasting mistake of sowing "wile", oats," with tho expectation of sowing good wheat later on. He realized the fact that the most of those who sow "wild oats" never reap any other crop. He started right and has kept right. He went down in 1857. when the banks failed, but he tailed honestly and never lost his faith in God. TJps and downs be sometimes laughs over them but whether losing or gaining he was grow ing better nil the time. He has been in many business ventures, but he never ventured the experiment of gaining the world and los ing his soul. His name was a power both In the church and In the business world. He has dravvn morechecks forcontri butlons to asylums and churches and schools than any one, except God, knows. He has kept many a business man from failing by lending his name on the back of a note till the crisis was past. All heaven knows about him, for the poot woman whose rent he paid In her last days, and the man with consump tion in the hospital to whom he sent flowers and the cordials just before ascention, and the people he encouraged in many ways, af ter they entered heaven kept talking about it, for the immortals are neither deAf nor dumb. Well, It is about time for the old merchant himself to quit earthly residence. As it is toward evening, he shuts the safe, puts the roll of newspapers in his pocket, thinking that the family may like to read them after he gets home. He folds up a $5 bill and gives it to the boy to carry to one of the car men who got his leg broken and may be in need of a little money; puts a stamp on a letter to his grandson at college,' a letter with good advice, and an incl03uri4 to make the holidays happy, then lookd around the store or office and says to the clerks, "Good evening." and starts for home, stopping on the way at a door to ask how his old friend, a deacon in the same church, is getting on since his last bad at tack of vertigo. He enters his own home, and that is his last evening on earth. He does not say much. No last words are necessary. "His whole life has been a testimony for God and righteous ness. More people would like to attend his obsequies than any house or church would hold. The officiating clergyman be gins bis remarks by quoting from the psalm ist, "Help, Lord, for the godly man oeaseth, for the faithful fail from among the children of men." Every hour in heaven for all the million years of eternity that old merchant will see the result of his earthly benefloenoe and fidelity, while on the street where he did business, and in the orphan asylum in which he was a director, and in the church of which he was an officer, whenever his gen iality and beneficence aud goodness are re ferred to, bank director will say to bank di rector, and merchant to merchant, and neighbor to neigh'oor, and Christian to Christian : "That is religion. Yes, that is religion." There is a mnn seated or standing very ne;ir you. Do not loo'; at him, for it raiht be unnecessary embarrassment. Only a few minutes ago he came down off the steps of as happy a home as there Is in this or any other city. Fifteen years ago, by reason ot h s dissipated habits, his home w is a horror to wife and children. What that woman went through with In or ler to preserve respecta bility and hide her husband's disgrace is a tragedy whlih it would require a Shakes peare or Victor Hugo to write out in five tremendous acts. Shall I tell it? He struck her. Yes ; the one who at the altar he had taken with vows so solemn they made the orange blossoms tremble ! He struck her ! He made the beautiful holidays "a reign of terror." Instead of his supporting her, she supported him. Tho children had often heard him speak the name of God. but never in prayer only in prof&nlty. It was the saddest thing on earth that I can think of a destroyed home! Walking along the street one day an impersonation of all wretchedness, he saw a sign at the door of a Y'oung Men's Christian Association. "Meeting Fcr Men Only." He went in hardly knowing why ha did so, and sat down by the door, and a young man was In broken voice and poor grammar telling how the Lord had saved him from a dissipated life, and the man back by the door said to himself, "Why oannot I have the Lord do the same thing for me?" and he put his hands, all a -tremble, over his bloated face and sal 1 : "O God, I want that ! I must have that!" and God said, "You shall have it, and you have it now !' And the man came Ojit and went home a changed man, and though the children at first shrank back and looked to the mother and began to cry with fright they soon saw that the father was a changed man. T'lat home has tur-0 ed from "Paradise Lost" to "Paradise Re jroinad." The fllfBrc t'A dav lon at her work, for sheds so nappy", anil h crfllTrren rush out into the hall at the first rattleof the father's key in the door latch to welcome him with caresses and questions of, "What have you brought me?" They have family prayers. They are altogether on the road to heaven, and when the journey of life la over they will live forever in each other's companionship. Two of their dar ling children are there already, waiting tor father and mother to come up. What changed that man? What reconstructed that home? What took that wife, who was a slave of fear and drudgery, and made her a queen on a throne of affection? I hear a whispering all through this assemblage. I know what you are saying : "That's relig ion! Yes, that's religion!" My Lord and my God, give us more of it !" Why, my hearers from all parts of tho earth, do you not get this bright and beauti ful and radiant and blissful and triumphant thing for yourselves, then go home telling all your neighbors on the Pacific, or in Nova Scotia, or in Louisiana, or Maine, or Brazil, or England, or Italy, or any part of the round world, that they may have it too. Have It for the asking ! Have It now ! Mind you, I do not start from the pessimistic standpoint that David did, when he got mad and said in his haste, "AU men are liars 1" or from the creed of others that every man is as bad as hi can be. I rather think from your looks that you are doing about as well as you can in the circumstances which you are placed, but I want to invite you up into heights of safety and satisfaction and holi ness, as muoh higher than those which the world affords as Everest, tho highest moun tain in all the earth, is higher than your front doorstep. Here He comes now. Who is it? I might be alarmed and afraid if I had not seen Htm before and heard His voice. I thought He would come before I got through with this sermon. Stand back and make way for Him. He comes withscars all around His forehead ; scars in the center of both hands stretched out to greet you ; scars on the instep of both the feet with which He advances ; scars on the breast under which throbs the great heart of sympathy which feels for you. I an nounce Him. I introduce Him to you, Jesus of Bethlehem and Olivet and Golgotha. Why comest Thou hitherthis winter day, Thou of the springtime and summery heavens! He answers : To give all this audience pardon for guilt, condolence for grief, whole regi ments of help for day of battle and eternal life for the dead ! What response shall I give Him? In your behalf and In my own behalf I hail Him with the ascription : "Un to Him who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father ; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." A New Cure l'or Hiccoughs. Samuel A. Hoohkin. of Wept Haven. Conn., was hiccoughing his life away at the home oi his nephew, Charles E. Hochkiu. Newark, N. J., until Dr. Bailey was called in. The pa tient is seventy-three years old. On January 5 he began hiccoughing violently. The usual remedies were prescribed, but Mr. Hochkiu yrew worse. At this time Dr. C. H. Clark, of Plainliold was afflicted with the malady, and the reme dies used in his ease without avail were tried. Dr. W. O. Bailey was called in. Dr Bailey saw that the aged sufferer could live long unless the throat spasms ceased There were intervals of half an hour of rest when the hiccough returned. Mr. Hochkiu had given up the battle for life and told his wife, who accompanied him from West Haven that he proposed to settle up hi. earthly af fairs. Late that night Dr. Bailey bethought hin: of the "musk" cure, and prescribed moschu. in ten grain doses to a drachm, giving out drachm every three hours. The e' feet was electrical. Tin' throat spasm ceased. ami Mr. Hochkiu was pr -nounced out of danger and gained strength rapidly. The remedy iu this -ase v.-as f ir warded to the physician attending Dr. Clari: at Plainiield in the hope of saving the 1.;.-tei-'s life. Amputated Hin Foot Himself. Two years ago Kobert Galbraith. aged seventy-four, a farmer of Payne Township, Indiana County. Penn.. fell from a load of hay and injured his left ankle and foot. The injury has caused him great suffering evet since, and the family physician has long in sisted that unless tho foot was amputated the farmer could never be any better. Galbraith stubbornly refused to have the operation performed. One morning recently the farmer's daugh ter went into his room. "Delia." said he, "the job's done. The foot is amputated." On the bed by his side lay the foot. On the other sid was a nizor. The old farmer had amputated his own foot with his razor, and had done it neatly, too, at the aukle joint. Although ho is seventy-six years old. Farm er Galbraith is not even suffering from shock from his self-amputating operation, and the doctor says he could not have taken the foot off more ivatlv himself. Mrs. Grant AVelcomed in Georgia. There was a striking scene in the parlors of a hotel at Atlanta. Ga., when Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant received a large delegation from the Fulton County Confederate Veterans' Associ tion. After the formal reception there was a free exchange of compliments and remin iscences between the veterans and the widow of th" jrreat commander. Mrs. Grant left in the afternoon for Jacksonville. Fla. When Captain John Clem. United States Army, was about to be presented to Mrs. Grant at the public reception Mrs. Grant re marked ! "It is not neeessary to introduce the Drummer Boy of Shiloh' to me. I remember very well the day General Grant found Johnny Clem beating the roll at Shiloh. The G fueral always thought a great deal of you. Johnny, and I am very glad to see you " Ktisinsr Pheasants iu Ohio. The Ohio Game and Fish Commission has gone into the pheasant raising business near St. Mary, and for that purpose has leased three acres of ground of the T. J. Godfrey farm aJong the St. Mary's Reservoir for a period of five years. Three hundred dollars has already been expended in erecting coops and sheds suitable for hatching and breed ing purposes. Charles Medford. local war den, has been placed in charge. Forty-three pheasants were placed in the coop, brought from New Jersey at a cost of -f 4 a head. The English ring-neeked pheasant, of brilliant plumage, is the specie brought. So far this is the oniy State station in the United State. As soon as the pheasants get to be plentiful they will be turned loose in the fields and forests of the tate. HORROR. The Atlantic Steamship Elbe Sunk In a Collision. HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST. Struck at Night By a British Steamer in the North Sea. The Iiner Occurred Fifty I ilen Off KriR laiul'ft Coast, and the F,ih- Was Sent to the Kottoiii in Twenty Minutes Ter rible Scene on Deck All but at Hand ful Were F.ngtilfed -Tales of the Survi vors Desperate St rugnles for Life Among Terror-stricken Passenger und Crew. The little fishing smack Wild Flower has just sailed into the harbor if Lowestoft, on the east coast of Eniland, with a handful of survivors, who were all that remained of a ship's company of nearly 400 souls who sailed twenty-four hours before from Bremen bound for New York. Few of the grout tragedies of the sea have leen more terrible than the fate of over 300 men. women and children who went down iu the North Sea in the wreck of the steamship Elbe, of the North German Lloyd Company. The disaster befel the great ship almost without warning. She was pursuing her course just before daybreak through a rough sea amid half a gale, which, blew bitter cold. Other vets Is were in sight, with which she exchanged signals. Suddenly there was a crash, and in a moment the Elbe lay helpless upon the water, cut half in two by a smaller steamer, which struck her almost amidships. How it happened no one on the larger ves sel lives to tell, for all who are known to be saved were below deck when the collision occurred. The boat which struck the liner remained for a few moments wedged in the great rent which she had made. The sea soon tore the two ships apart. The smaller one was badly damaged and almost helpless. She drifted away, and did not even learn with what ship she had been in collision. She was the Scotch steamer Craithie, of Aberdeen. 496 tons. Late in the evening she crawled into the harbor of Maasluis, near Rotterdam. It was quickly realized on board the Elbe that her wound was mortal, and that she could not long survive. The blow tore open all the middle compartments, and a Hood of water quickly filled the engine and boiler rooms to the water's edge. Some of the pas sengers were undoubtedly killed iu their berths, especially in the second cabin, for staterooms there were smashed to bits, and several passageways were blocked by debris. Ail but two or three of the 175 passengers were in bed. Few failed to realize that a serious disaster had befallen, for the shock was terrific throughout the ship. Within a few moments nil who were able to escape from below reached the deck. There followed one of those awful scenes which are almost inevitable in a large ship's company suddenly brought face to face with death. At ilrst there was some attempt at discipline. The Captain and first officer gave clear orders which were heard by all that the women and children should enter the boats first. This made it plain to everybody that the ship was doomed and terror in many ca.ses became madness. The crew at first worked with efiicient self possession in lowering the boats. They were hampered by frozen ropes aud the severe list of the rapidly settling steamship. It soon became apparent to all that the ship was foundering. Then arose the wild cry "There are not boats enough' Little discipline remained after that mo ment. Then; were some sad struggles to escape at the expense of others. The last order heard by any survivor was the Captain's command that the women and children should go to the opposite side of the ship from that where the damage was and where tha most boats were being got out. The first lifeboat that was floated was quickly filled with men and women, but it capsized before it got ten yards from the side. One young woman in this boat clung to it until picked up by the second boat, which is the only one known to have sur vived. She was the only woman saved, for in the wdld scramble at the very last only men. and all but four of these officers and crew of the vessel, secured places. Those on this boat say that they saw one more boat load of about twenty get away from the ship before she sank. Before they cast off the Elbe had heeled over to a sharp angle and .settled very low in the water. She went down stern first when the survivors who reached Lowestoft were only a few rods away. CAPTAIN VON OOESSFL, OF THE ELBE. An Ohio man. who happened to lie dressed and on deck within a moment of the colli sion, says the time was less than twenty minutes from the striking of the blow till the ship disapteared. It was only after three or four hours of severe exposure that the boat load was rescued by the smack Wild Flower. The plaee where they were picked up is about fifty miles southeast of Lowestoft, almost midway between the English and Dutch coasts. The - Elbe carried 20 passengers and lfiO officers and seamen. Twenty-two survivors were landed, though it was thought a few others might be afloat in a lifeboat. Ail th others were lost. Captain Kurt von Goessel went down with his ship. Twenty of the survivors are: Cabin passengers: Carl Hofmann. Euffen Schlegel. Jan Yevera. Steerage: Bothen. Miss Anna Buecker. Th. Stollberg. third offi cer: A. Neussell. first engineer: W. Wefer. purser; Schulteiss. Linkmeyer and Sittig. as sistant pursers: Koebe. chief stoker; Fuerst. stoker; Wenning. Tinger. Sibert. Dresow and Boetke, seamen: Deharde. German pilot: Greenham. English pilot. Hofmann 's home is in Nebraska. His wife and boy went down with the .-.hip. The pas sengers were only half clothed. Their few garments were frozen stiff, their hair was coated with ice, and anxiety and effort had exhausted them so completely that they had to be helped ashore. The officers and sailors were fully dressed, but their clothes had been drenched and frozen and they had l-een al most paralyzed with cold and fatigue. WHEN THE CRASH CAME. Patsengera Were in Bed, and the First Boat Lowered Was Swamped. The few hours of the vcyage. before the disaster were uneventful. At 4 o'elock a. m. the wind was blowing ver y hard, and a tremendous sea wais running. The morning was unusually dari.-. Numer ous lights were seen in ail direction, CM showing that many vessels wen near by. The Ca: tain ordered, therefore, that rvket Phould l sent up at regular intervals to warn the craft to keep out of the F.He"s c.mr-ie. It was near to six o'el.x-k, and the Elbe was some fifty miles off Lx west oft , coast of Suffolk. England, when the lookout man sighted a steamer of small dimensions approaehinc. lie gave the word. and. as a precaution, the num ber of rockets was doubled, and they were sent up at short Intervals. The warning was without effect. The steamer came on with unchecked Speed, and before the Edie could ch'.nge her course or reduce h-r sjrf-cl nota b'. , there was the terrifl.- crash of th" colli sion. The Elbe was hit abaft her origin" room. When the smaller steamer wrem-hiM away an enormous hole was left in the Ell''s ide. The water jiotm-d through and down intothe engine room in a i-a;ara-"f. The room filled almost instantly. Th" engines were still, and the big hulk began to settle. The passengers were in bed. The bitter cold and rouli pea had prevented any early risinc. and none except the, officers and crew on duty was on deck when the ship w.-is struck. The shvk and -rash roused every Ixidy. The steerage was :n a panb in a mo ment, and men. women und children, half dressed or in their night clothes, came crowd ing up the companion ways. They clung together in groups, facing the cold and storm, and cried aloud for help or prayed on their knees for deliverance. The officers were convinced that the ship was aoout to founder and tfave orders to lower the boats. In a short time three boats were got alongside. but the seas were breaking over the steamer with great force and the tlrst boat was swamped before anybody could get into it. The other two boats, lowered at about the same time, were filled quickly with members of the crew and some passengers, but the number was small. THE NORTH GERMAN as the boats held only twenty persons each. The boat carrying the twenty-one persons who were landed at Lowestoft put off in such baste from the sinking steamer that nobody in it noticed what became of the other boat. The survivors believe, however, that she got away safely. They say that they tossed about in the heavv seas for several hours be fore they sighted the Wild Flower. The lit tle smack bore down on them at once and took them aboard. They were exhausted from excitement and exposure. Miss Anna Buecker. the only woman in the party, was prostrated as soon as they got clear of the Elbe. She lay in the bottom of the boat five hours with the seas breaking over her and the water that had been shipped half covering her body. CAPTAIN AND VESSEL. The Kibe's Commander a Fine Sailorman History of tho Lost Liner. Captain Kurt von Goessel, the commander of the Elbe, who went down with his ship, was born in Kaiibor. Prussian Silesia, forty three years ago. He was a splendid speci men of the Teutonic sailorman. He was six feet two inches tall, was broad-chested, erect, blue-eyed anil blond-bearded. He had the reputation of being one of the most careful skippers in the North German Lloyd service, He had received more premiums than any other commander of the line for his swift and economical voyages. Captain Von Goessel on several occasions stood upon the bridge for thirty-six hours at a stretch, and each time his pot cat. Peter, remained with him in the roughest weather. Every on- who has made a trip upon the Elbe in recent years knew Peter as the Captain's pet. The Elbe was probably the slowest of the big North German Lloyd fleet plying between New York and Southampton and Bremen. She was built in 1H81. and was the first of what is called the express steamers of the line. She started on her maiden trip from Bremen on June 26, 1881. She usually covered the distance between Southampton and Sandy Hook in somewhat more than eight days. She was a four-masted vessel and originally had a barkentine rig; that is, she had yards on her foremast. H-r rig was changed for economical reasons, and she had none but fore and aft. sail., like the big ves sels of the record-breaking lines. She meas ured 4510 tons, was 420 feet long, 45 feet beam, 3(5.5 feet .deep. She was propelled by a single screw. Her engines, of the compound type, with cylinders of 2!) and 64 inches and a piston-stroke of 36 inches, were of 5600 horse power. She was, compared with the Campania and Lueania. in point of tonnage and speed, not strictly a modern merchant ship, but she had as good passenger accommodations probably as the best of the greyhounds. She was considered a first-class passenger boat, and in the season always had a large cabin list. It is surmised that the cargo of the Elbe was not worth less than 500.000. It consisted chiefly of silks, woolens, linens, and cottons. SAD STORIES OF SURVIVORS. Men, Women and Children AVere I'anic Stricken and linn About Wildly on Ieck. Carl Hofmann, who came ashore in the Wild Flower, said in an interview : "My home is in Grand Islam!. N'-b. I had my wife and boy of seven with me on th Elbe. I am utterly wretched, for I became separate 1 from them, and hardiy dare hope that they have beem saved. I have been abroad to visit relatives in Germany, and during tie- last four months was accompanied by my wife and boy. We left Bremen on the Elbe for home. I wa- asleep in our stateroom when a rcise line a gun shot woke me. I jumjied out of bed and spoke to my wife, who had tiet-n arou-od as suddenly. I asked her what she thought the trouble was. but she seemed to pay little attention to it. I wc- not greatly a'ame-d. although I heard scuffling feet and hoarse shouts on deck. I hurried into some of my clothes, however, and writ to the upper deck. Men. women and chil dren were running about madly, the women s -reaming with terror and every man gel ling in the other's way. Th- darkness i increaseii trie eoniusion arci ingni. Suddenly I heard .shrill despairing ones from the women: Th"re are no more Itoats!' 1 th-n aw the n.en at the davits. I noticed that the ropes were frozen so hard or were so taugied or something of the sort that the sailors had to chop them frantically to get the boats clear. Meanwhile the steamer was settling perceptibly. I took mp boy into my arms and got into the second boat. My wife was close trf-hiny when someboly shouted: -All women and children go on the other side of the ship.' I relieve the Captain gave the order. My wife started to run across the deck, and that is the last I saw of her. I cltintr to my loy. but ome men seized us and dragged us out of the boat, and my place was taken by one of the crew. This boat got clear of the steamer. Before the men at the oars could get full command of her a big wave almost dashed her against the steamer's big fore-ma-t. which had gone by the bjard at the time of the collision. It a almost mircu lous that the boat w?.s not .swamped. An other boat was got vuU I took my hoy into it and suppr-uM that he had remained by my side, but just a th boat was loworM I found that h" bad disappeared. Hi bad Nen torn away in the ru.-h and scramble tor pla.--s. I tried to g.-t luck, but the boat went down with a jump and the moment we re.vhi-d the water the sailors pxished off." Miss l'.ue -ker. the only woman saved, said in an interview: "I was in tel when the steamers struck. I was .rvuwd by a gnvt crash, followed by shout. aud the trampling of feet on dock. It was dark when I reached the top of the stairs leading to the deck. I found that two of the bfcl-nts wen- N'iTic lowered and ran to one of them. The steamer was sinking gradually. One side was already low iu the water. S. .me men shoved me into the boat, which was then lowered. We bad hardly readied th water before the boat upset and ail were throw n oi.t. As that part of the KIN- wa- partly submerged. niot of the others managed to get ta.-k on the steamer. I went under and when I came up clutched the bow of the capsized lifeboat. I clung to it desperately until another lifelniat that bad ln'i'ii launched picked mo up. We suffered terribly until the Wild Flower roamed us. I lost all my id. thes, l.iji 1 fnv.nl my money and watch, which I had in the Udt around mv waist."' THE WILDFOWER'S RESCUE. Skipper Wright TelU of the Condition of the Shipwrecked When DUcmcrril. Wiiliani Wright, the kipT id the fishing smack Wildllower. says: "We were east southeast of Lowe-toft with our trawl ing gear down. about eleven o'clock yesterday morning, I saw a ship's life boat a mile away. The boat's mast was naked, but I saw something fluttering from her stern. Thi; water was hrcakuig over the boat. LLOYD STEAMSHIP ELBE. I watched the boat closely. Her occupants seemed to think I was going to lea vet hem. so I waved my hat. Ittook us half an hourtogct up our trawling gear, and in the meantime th boat was drifting away from us. When we got close to them I cast them a rope, but they were so cold, wet and numb that they couldn't make it fast for some time. We jiii 1 lo. I them around to the side of the smack and about half of them jumjed aboard, but the strain caused by tho heavy sea parted the rope and the remainder once more drifted away. Eventually we made another line fast, and four more of the unfortunates wen- dragged in. leaving a wo man and four men in the boat. "The woman lay in the water in the )ot tom of the boat. She wore a long coat, but had on neither boots nor dress. Pilot Green ham helped her to get on board the smack. Just as all had boarded the smack the line again parted and the lifeboHt was j lost. I got the woman below, and asked all the others to go to the engine room wdiile she took off her clothes and wrapped herself in dry blankets. I am sure another hour's exposure iu the boat would have killed some of them, for there were six inehiis of ice on my deck." LIST OF PASSENCERS.

Minn.i Jan Vevera, Cleveland, Ohio.; Mr. Lock hart, New York. Despatches from Germany. say that Bremen is in a state of consternation and the whole country is excited by the news of the wreck. The passengers came from all parts of tho Em ) lire. Fortunately, the tide of immigration from Germany is now at an ebb, and th cabin passenger traffic, as it generally it Is at this season, is somewhat dull. The loss of life might have been double if the accident had occurred in May, when tl.e influx of German Immi grants is Strongest. The Elbe might have carried 120 tlrst cabin passengers. 130 second cabin passengers, and 3000 steerage passen gers. In the busy season she has a crew, in cluding waiters, of alxmt 180 men and women. Disaatern to Other Ocean Llnera. Sine the Elbe was launched, in 181, there has never been a big liner sunk with so many souls. Somewhat more than forty vears , ago the steamship City of Glasgow, J which sailed from Liverpool for Philadelphia, foundered, presumably in a storm, with 40 persons aboard. She never was spoken after she left Liver pool, on March 5, 154. The steam ship Pacific of the Collins lin", which Jeft Liverpool on January 23. 1856, with 186 pas sengers. wau never heard from. The steam ships President and Pacific Ocean met a similar fate. Within the laut six years th big old freighter Erin of the Nationa lise' and the fine new modern twin-screw I freighter Naronic of the White Star line, each ! with alcitit ninety persons aboard, vanished , from the sea, without leaving any record 1 how they were overwhelmed. In Novemlr--rT 1 173, the steamship Ville du Havre, fro.i New Y'ork bound for Havre, collided witl another ship and sunk in twelve minutes Of the 314 jiersous on board 227 were lost. I Victim of Cowardice. ' When .asked concerning the actions of th other vessel. Mr. Hofmann, one of the sur vivors, said : ! "Had the vessel which collided with tb Elbe stood by and assisted, it is my belie: that the majority of the passengers and crew would have iieen saved. The vesj-e whicn caused the cd Union sirnplj harked away, and that wa- th" last we saw of her. Until that time order was main tained, and then all became confusion." It-j-resentati ves of the North German Lloyd dis credited the storit.s of cowardice on the part of the El!e'i o Hirers and crew. The reports of the survivors to the effect that the eaptair of the Ell gave orders, as soon a' the collision occurred, for the women am children to be saved first, and that the entin deck watch went down at their jiosts, re lieved somewhat the di.agri'able i-npreMdot arising from the fact that so large a portior of the people rescued were officers anc sailors of the steamer.
