Two Ships Collide In
A Dense Fog, one
Sinking Instantly.
Halifax, July 6. The Alkn
line steamer Grecian has just
ntered the harbor with the ship
Cromartyshire in Unw The
i: tter reports that at about Hv:
o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth she collided with the
steamer La llur;joy ne. bound
from New York t' Havre carry
ing eight hundred passengers,
in a dense fog sixtv milts south
of Sable Island. The steamship
sank almost instantly and only
two hundred people saved
among them only one woman.
All of the shipi officers were
drowned.
When the collision occurred
most of the passengers were
asleep. Few had time to reach
the deck. The only woman
saved was Mrs. A. Jyacasse, her
husband having placed her on a
life raft with another woman;
the other woman was washed off
and drowned. Capt- Baudoin
stood on the bridge and went
down with the ship refusing to
leave her. Capt. Cromarty says
the steamer struck him at full
speed, tearing his bow entirely
off. Rescued men frou steanier
says that the ship struck the
steamer amidships, and the ihip
cre&ned and went down sid
ways immediately.
Washington, D. C, Among
the passengers on board the Ls
Bourgoyne were Anthony Pols
lock and wife, well known
Waahingtontans going to Paris
to visit their family
There are some people who aie
never todtiv 311 anj thing. It is al
ways, "Iidon't know, " pr "I guess so-'
There is a worid of such peopie, and it
is refreshing sometimes to' hear a pr.
sou speak as one having couyictions,
like Mr. Chas. F. Snyder, of Bangor,
Pa., who wrote ; "I can heartily recouv
mend Simmons Liver Emulator to all
jsrho are troubled with Dyspepsin or
Liver otnplaiut."
It Is Retribution?
Thirty years ago in the
United States Senate, Senator
Matt Carpenter, discussing the
Cuban question, turning to
Senator Sumner, prophetically
said:
"But there are truths so
mighty that if men hold their
peacethe sjtones will cry out, and
it is th silence of that Senator
that leads me now to address the
Senate. We have happily escape
ed from the curse of human
slavery ourselves, but as be le
volence is stayed by no barrier
of nature, acknowledges no
limits of human dominion, we
cannot, blameless, remain in
different.
"Now, sir, I submit upon this
state of facts, which the Cubans
offer to establish by judicial
evidence, a great wrong, or,
rather, an unaccountable series
of wrongs, has been committed
by our government. We are
solemnly bound by the law of
nations, properly construed, ex
pressly pledged by our own de
clarations upon this subject, to
stand entirely neutral between
Spain and Cuba, but as the law
has been administered it has
been a shield to Spain, a sword
to Cuba. Liberty in Cuba is in
the helpfulness of infancy; its
life is feeble, its pulse low. I do
not invoke your aid on behalf of
Cuba; I only ask that to be done,
the neglect of which would
justly bring war upon us if
Cuba had the strength to enforce
her rights. As it is, whether the
United States does its duty or
violates its duty, Cuba is without
remedy. But there is a bar, the
bar of impartial history, before
which all governments must
stand; there is a God and a great
book in which deeds of nations
are written, and there is retribu
tion for every nation which.
knowing its duty, does it not."
Are we suffering today as a
nation because we failed of our
duty thirty years ago?
There is one little maxim
That now I will name,
Which may bring what is better
Than riches or fame.
All those who will ljeed it
Good appetite find,
Strong nerves, rosy cheeks.
And vigor of mind.
It will banish dyspepsia,
Rhemmatism and gout;
That Tired feeling conquer,
Prive scrofula out.
And 1ere is the maxim
Its wisdom is sure-r

Do YouJLJse It?
It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add aa inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the roota must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

Colon's Losses Small.
Guantanoma Bay, July 7. Tl.g
Resolute arrived here with 508
prisoners including 18 officers,
the crew of the Chre&tobel Colon.
The number killed and wounded
on the Colon is remarkably
small only 3 killed and 13
wounded and all the sailors cap
tured. The Spaniards are cheer
ful. The officers say they have
had nothing to eat for 24 hours
previous to the destruction of the
fleet. They had great difficulty
in getting the men to their posts.
Therefore large quantities of li
quor was given out. Many still
show signs of intoxication. The
officers say the order of attack
was given out by minister of
Marines at Madrid. They state
that none of the Sailors expect
ed to live after the engagement
all the valuables were put on
board the Colon as she was the
swiftest in the fleet. They pro
fess great admiration of the
Americans and say if the Amer
icans had pressed the land forces
the Spaniards would have been
compelled to surrender. The
troops were completely worn
out and starving.

History Repeats Itself.
(Atlanta Constitution,.)
The State of North Carolina
in the prest war with Soain
bids fair to repeat the nagnifi
cent record which it made in
the late war between the States.
This is evident from the fact
that North Carolina has uotonlv
furnished to the vyar its first vic
tim in the person of Ensiem
Bagley, but that she has other
wise distinguished herself with
deeds of valor and oatrotism.
With respect to the late war
General lames M. Rayl of Ashe,
ville, N. C, ths wr.ites: "North
Carolinians have made much
history, but have written very
little of it. This old Rio Van
Winkle State, slow to act in the
early sixties, awoke from her
ieth-rgy at the richt time, and
went into the war, as 5)4 e does
everything wheu aroused, with
her whole soul and strength.
With a voting population of
1 1 5,000, she furnished th? Con
teaerafe states army over 125,
000 troops more than any oth,
er yeeeeding State. The first
soldier killed in a regular en
gagement was ot this nuniber,
the gallant Henry Wyatt, who
at Bethel, with two other com
rades, volunteered the hazardous
undertaking of burning a cabin
in advance, of our lines to pre
vent the Federal sharp shooters
from using it. Of the ninety
two regiments engated in the
seven days' fight in front of
Richmond, forty six just one
half of them were North Care
liniaus; and of the tilled and
wounded at Ch.ancellorsville,
fully one half of them were
from this state. At Gettysburg,
the Twentysixth North Caro
lina infantry, which wow honors
never surpassed in heroism and
sacrifice, entered the fight with
820 rank and file, and lost ia

man was killed or wounded.
The flag of this regiment was
cut down fourteen times, the
last time from the hands of the
daring commander. Colonel
Burgyn, who was killed. About
the same time Lieut. J. R. Lane
was shot in the head, suppose
to be fatally; but he recovered

year, and Lieutenant Colonel
Harry King Burgwyn, not then
twenty one years old, succeeded
him. The last charge made at
Apptmtttox was made by a
North Carolina brigade, led by
the intrepid General Grimes,
and later, when that grand man,
Robert E. Lee, said for the last

that one half of them were in
