EMIGRATION FROM GERMANY.
THREE BIG SHIPS LOSE
Some Statistics Furnished by Commercial
Agent Stern at Bamberg.
A report by Commercial Agent Stern at
Bamberg, Germany, to the State Department
shows that for the year 1894 Germany sent
to the United States 34,210 emigrants. The
largest emigration to the United States was
In 1884, numbering 206,189 persons. In 1893
there were 75,102. During the period covered
by the report, twenty years, the German
emigration to the United States amounted
to 1,781,349, more than ninety per cent, of
the total emigration from the Empire. The
Imperial Government is making every effort
to turn the tide of German emigration to the
German colonies in Africa, but so far has
met with but little success.
Agent Stern has also sent to the State De
partment some statistics concerning the
increase of crime in Germany. The in
crease is attributed to hard times, the ma
terial increase in the tariff, the over-production
of some years and - to the general
sociological conditions prevailing in Ger
many. Similar conditions, the agent says,
prevail in England, France and Spain.
' Tfew Counterfeit 10 Notes.
The Secret Service of the Treasury has dis
covered in circulation in the West a new
counterfeit $10 National bank note of the
First National Bank of Detroit, Mich. The
notes are photographic productions of brown
backs, series of 1832, printed on two pieces
of paper pasted together, red silk threads
placed between. The numbering and seals
have been colored by brush. The officials
say: "The character of the notes should be
determined by their tints rather than by the
lines in the engraving, as they axe photo
graphs of genuine work."
Two Off Brazil's Coast and Another;
Near Sidney, New South Wales.
NEARLY A HUNDRED PERISH.
The Wreck of the Catterthun She Went
Down at Night Oft" Australia's Coast
With Fifty-four Souls The Third Ves-!
- i
el Went Under Ten Minutes After Be-
Ing Struck by the Prince Oscar
Dispatches received in New York brought
on the same day news ;of two fatal disasters
at sea. The British steamer Catterthun
foundered near Sidney, New South Wales'; '
fifty-four lives were lost. The British ship
Prince Oscar collided with a strange craft in
mid-ocean of Brazil's coast. Every soul was
lost on the unknown, j'
Dispatches from Sydney, New South Wales,
say that the British steamer Catterthun,
bound from Sydney for Hong Kong, ran on
the Seal Rocks, 110 miles north of Sydney, at
2.45 o'clock a. m. , and sank in twenty minutes.
As soon as an examination of the vessel was
made it was soon seen that there was no
chance of saving her, and orders were given
to abandon the ship. All hands took to the
small boats and laid their course for the
mainland. There were Australian and Eng
lish passengers on the steamer. The officers
of the vessel were English and the crew
were Chinese. The names of those lost
are Neil Shannon, the Cantain: First Officer
Pinney, Third Officer Leffler, Chief Engineer
Harper. Second Engineer Adams. Third
Eugineer Wilson, j Fourth Engineer
Wolstenholme. Chief Steward Man
ning, Surgeon ! Anderson Phips,
twenty Chinese and eight Lascars,
all of the crew, and the passengers. Mes
dames Mathias, Loring and Smith, Miss Lor
ing. Robert Fraser and twelve Chinese steer
age passengers. When tho vessel struck a
heavy south west gale ! was blowing. " There
was a shock that could be fell in every part
of her. The passengers ' were greatly
alarmed, and there was much confusion.
The Captain reassurert them, stating that
there was no danger. He thought the steam
er had been struck only by a heavy sea.
The ship continued on her way. but before
many moments it was' found that she had a
hole in her bottom and was making water
rapidly. She began to settle down and took
on a list to starboard. The fires under the
boilers were extinguished, and she was then
helpless. She broached to and the seas
swept over her fore and aft. Every effort
made to lower the boats was baffled
by the seas, which swept them in
board after they had been swung out on the
davits. The port lifeboat was lost entirely,
being swept from the davits. Excellent dis
cipline was maintained. During an attempt
to lower the starboard cutter a tremendous
tea broke aboard the steamer and carried the
cutter away. It also swept from the bridge
the Captain and I chief and second
officers and Captain Fawkes. The survivors
say that Fawkes, havingbeen unableto reach
his cabin to obtain a life belt, had borrow
ed the Captain's knife; and was cutting the
lashings of a small table on the bridge when
he was swept off into the sea. A few min
utes later the starboard lifeboat was lowered
and it picked up Fawkes, who was clinging
to some floating wreckage. Only three
other EuroDeans were rescued. Besides
her general cargo the Catterthun
ried $55,000 in gold. !

BOTH SHIPS WENT DOWN.
A Frightful Night Collision Off the Coast
of Brazil.
The British steamer Capac, from Val
paraiso, brought to the port of Philadelphia
sixteen shipwrecked mariners and the first
news of a disaster that occurred a short dis
tance south of the equator. The mariners
are the survivors of the crew of the British
ship Prince Osar. sunk after a collision with
an unknown vessel, which also went down, but
with all hands on board. Six of the Prince
Oscar's crew were drowned soon after they left
the ship by the capsizing of the small boat
into which they had Scrambled. The six
teen survivors were huddled into one small
boat with neither food nor water. They
were picked up by the British ship Dhaman,
from 'Melbourne; Austral fa," for Cohdonu
From that ship they were transferred to the
steamer Capae, . and, without money or
proper clothing, they were landed at Phfla
del phia. Captain John Henderson, master ol
the Prince Oscar, told the little he knew of the
disaster. She was a full-rigged iron ship, and
was bound from Shields, England, with a,
cargo of coal for Iquique, Chile. Ten mln
utea after they struck both vessels had filled
and disappeared. Captain Henderson had!
just gone below when the shock came. Haj
rushed on deck and the small boats were
manned promptly and were cut away, aq
the vessel was sinking rapidly. From the)
other vessel could be heard the cries of the'
terrified men, but so! sudden was the shook;
and so awful the ! peril that it was imj
possible to offer assistance.
NEW BUILDING COLLAPSES.
An Eight-Story Structure Tumbles In
Killing Many Workmen.
y the collapse of a part of the roof and
all of the floors of the eight-story building
in the course of erection at the northeast
corner of West Broadway and West Third
street, New York City, seven men were in
stantly killed, thirteen were buried in the
ruins, and nine were injured. - The building',
is owned by John B. j Ireland: the architect
was Charles B, Behrens, tind the contractor
John H. Parker. The contractor and his su
perintendent, Jefferson Seligman, were ar
rested. The cause of the collapse is variously at
tributed to defective material and to the'
overloading of the floors with building ma
terial, but it will require an investigation
by the officials of the; Building Department
before it can be determined where the blame
is to be placed. I
Those found dead in the ruins were John
Prure, frty-five years old, plasterer;
Michael Flynn. fifty-three years old, Brook
lyn; Michael O'Hare.l forty years old, labor
er; Charles E. Peterson, twenty-five year?
old, electrician; Augustus Phillips, fifty
years old; Michael Savage, thirty-four years
old, laborer; John Wj Schmidt, wireman.
After finding these bodies the search for;
the dead continued, as nine men were re
ported missing, and it was thought that all'
would be discovered buried in the huge pile
of debris.
The architect said thai, although he did'
not advance this as a theory of the collapse,1
the reported fact that a shoulder on one of!
the upright columns had snapped off wasj
In his opinion, enough to account for:
the wreck. Toat shoulder supported the
girder, he said, which, resting on a similari
shoulder on the next pillar, upheld one sec-,
tion of the building at that spot. Between
the girders were only cross rods to uphold,
the heavy fireproof flooring, and if a!
broken shoulder let down a girder he could
see no reason why the he&vy floor material ,
should not fall and carry everything with it.
The fireproof flooring that was in place in,
the Ireland building, he said,weighedproba-j .
bly eighty-five pounds to the square foot.,
When completed the floors were to weigh
100 pounds to the square foot. If, in addi-i
tibn to this, heavy I material were loaded!
onto the floor, and then one of the girder!
supports should give way, it seemed per-,
fectly natural that a collapse should result.
