STEAMERS ffl COLLISIOI
BOYS KILL THEIR MOTHER.
Stabbed Her in the Heart and Played Cards
In the House "Where the Body Lay.
Two boys named Combes, one thirteen and
the other eleven years old, vere brought be
fore a maiistrate at London, England, upon
the charge of having murdered their mother.
The accusation was substantiated by their
confessions. Their home is in Plaistow, an
eastern suburb of London.
The boys stabbed their mother through the
heart ten days before, and since then have
occupied the house alone with the body. The
husband of the murdered woman and father
of the two boys is a ship purser, and is absent
from hnrne on a sea vovasre. The house has
all the requirements of a comfortable home.
After the boys committed their crime they
pawned several valuable articles which they
found in the house and visited many places
on the river and nearby cricket grounds.'
When they were arrested they were playing
cards in the house containing their mother's
body. A half-witted man was with them,
and they apparently were getting the high
est degree of enjoyment from their pastime,
despite the odor that pervaded the rooms.
The magistrate was amazed at the cool de
meanor of the boys. He said he could not
believe the youngsters sane and remanded
them pending a mental examination. The
minds of the boys seem to have been upset
by reading novels which made heroes of
' cutthroats and robbers.

The Ortigia and the Maria P. Crash
Together in the Mediterranean.
OVER A HUNDRED PERISH.
The Disaster Occnrred in the Middle or the
Night When Most of the Passenger
. Were Asleep A Terrible Panic Ensued
and Only One Boat Got Away Fright-
t ful Scenes oa Board.
An accident resulting in the death of 149
lives occurred near the mouth of the Gulf oi
Spezzia. Italy . At 1 " o'clock a. m. th
steamers Ortigia and Maria P. ran into each
other, and the Maria P. was damaged so bad
ly that she sank in a very short time .
The Maria P. had on board in addition to
her crew 176 passengers bound from Naples
for the River Plate . Most of them were emi
grants. It was pitch dark when the collision
occurred, and there, was a terrible scene
aboard the sinking steamer.
Most of the. passengers were asleep in theit
bunks at the time and were awakened by the
crashing of the steamer's plates, deck beams,
and deck planks. They rushed on deck and
ran hither and thither, alternately calling foi
boats and praying aloud to the saints.
From the reports of the disaster received it
was impossible to determine whether any at
tempt was made by the Maria P. to clear awaj
and launch hersmall boats, but, judging from
,the accounts given by the excited survivors,
it i3 surmised that the steamer went down toe
quickly to leave time for lowering all th
boats. But one boat got away.
The force of the collision was terrific. Tha
Ortigia struck the Maria P. squarely on th
starboard side.and her stem penetrated eight
een feet. j
When she backed out. a great volume of
water poured through the hole, and the ves
sel began almost immediately to settle. From
the statements of some of the crew, it ap
pears that the disaster was the fault of the
Ortigia. The crew of the Maria P. numbered
seventeen. Of this number, fourteen were
saved in the boat that got clear of the ship.
This boat al3o saved the thirty passengers.
The Maria P. was a schooner-rigged iren
screw steamer of 722 tons. She was built in
Sunderland in 183tJ. and was 175 feet long.
27 feet beam, and 20 feet depth of hold. Sha
had five compartments. Her engines were
of tho compound type. She was owned bj
Marini Brichetto. and her hailing port was
Genoa.
The collision occurred oft Isola del Tino.
The Maria P. was bound for Genoa, where
the emigrants on board of her were to be
transhipped to the steamer Sud America,
which was to convey them to the River
Plate. J
It was learned thai; the lookout man on
the Ortigia saw nothing of the other steamer
until it was too late to; avoid a collision.
The officers of the Ortigia contend that no
boats were lowered by the Maria P., and
that their vessel saved all the survivors. The
Ortigia remained in tie vicinity of the acci
dent for several hoiirs, hoping that shff
might be able to rescue others.
