THE CORNING WRECKED
Sound Steamer Quickly Sinks After
Striking P.eet
TbrlIIin ITirperi.acM of Party tn m LSf.
boat That Iteach Fbor. After
Hour of Suffering.
South Norwalk, Conn.-Wbne two or
three miles out of her course, the Eras
lus Corning, of the Starin line, froiu
New Haven to New Tork. struck a
Jagged reef known as Copy's Rocks,
Just outside Norwalk Harbor, and sank
la fifteen feet of water. There were
twenty passengers on board and twelve
members of the crew. All of these
were maved, but not until six of the
passengers, four of t&"n women in
scanty attire, had spent a night of ter
ror ou the Sound in a leaky boat.
The steamer lies lu tbe midst of the
group of jagged rocks constituting
Copp's Reef, with a hole eight feet
square on her starboard side just be
neath her pilothouse, and a sharp rock,
which penetrated her ancient hull, pro
truding into her bold, which is filled
with water. r,
How the boat could get so faj out of
her course on a night which was com
paratively clear and with the guiding
beacons iu plain view both ahead and
astern has not been explained. The
steamer had Just left behind her the
light on , Pendleton Reef, one of the
leading lights of tbe Sound. Scarcely
a mile ahead from the point where she
struck is the Norwalk light on Smith's
Island, with tell-tale flash of red and
white to warn the mariner of danger.
All the passengers and most of the
crew, except W. W. Daboll, the pilot,
who had the watch; Frederick Stevens,
a deck hand, who was on lookout, and
the engineer and a fireman, were in
their berths asleep.
Suddenly there was a tremendous
crash and a grinding noise from the
bottom of the steamer, and the next
moment she began to settle. Several
of the passengers were thrown from
their berths by the force of the colli
sion. Others who were awakened by
the shock and by the cries of the crew
who were sent below to rouse and
warn the sleepers Jumped out of their
berths, only to find themselves waist
deep In the fast incoming water.
; There was no time a dress, and the
passengers made a wild r -sh for the
deck. Here in the darkness they heard
the grating sound of the rocks against
the hull of the ship and felt her reeling
and continuing to settle, and a wild
panic ensued. . -
Three lifeboats were lowered. AH
were leaky, and one of them filled com.
pletely with water shortly after it bad
been launched, and In this and one
other the occupant had narrow es
capes from being drowned.
One of the lifeboats had broken the
painter with which it was secured to
the Corning, and drifted away in the
darkness. In it were six passengers,
four of them women. All were bare
foot, and two of the women wore noth
lne but their nightgowns.
The occupants of , this tiny craft,
which, like the other boats, was so
leaky that It was necessary to keep
balling the water out all the time to
prevent It from sinking, spent a thrill
ing night before they were rescued
shortly before daybreak the following
morning. Borne by the strong tide and
the southwesterly wind the boat drift
ed eastward until it struck on a sand
reef a mile and a half west of Frost
Point, seven miles from the scene of
the wreck. Here It was discovered by
William Matthias, a farmer, who was
driving along tbe shore road.
When the passengers were brought
ashore tbey were benumbed with cold,
and what little clothing they had on
their bodies was frozen stiff. They
were utterly unable to walk, and were
driven In a carriage t Mr. Mitchell's
lodge on the Sooysmlth estate, where
they were thawed out. fed and given
clobing enough to enable them to pro
ceed to their homes. ;
The other passengers who had re
mained on the wreck were taken off
by the Addle V., a tiny Norwalk tug,
which made several 'trips to the wreck.
The Ernstus Corning is of 250 tons
burden ami about 117 feet long She
was one of the oldest boats on the
Sound.

MILLIONS FOR, INSULAR NEEDS.
Secretary Root Asks For $2,520,100
, For Defense.
Washington, D. C Secretary Root
has forwarded to the House of Repre
sentatives, through the Treasury De
partment, a supplemental estimate of
$2.52(1,100 for the defense of the Insu
lar possessions of th United States.
In his request, the Secretary says:
'Defenses for Porto Rico,, the Ha
waiian Islands. Guaut and the Philip
pines are urgently needed to protect
the newly acquired territory of the
United States and Government proper
ty to be'stored there; nlno to prevent
Interruption of cable 'communication
between San Francisco, the territory
of Hawaii nnd Manila. This estimate
is submitted with the object of begin
ning the construction of these defenses
at once at such Insular localities as are
now the property of ''the United States,
w may become so ''before the appro
priation Is exhausted, and of acquiring
additional land needed as sites for de
fenses of the territory of Hawaii."

A TALE OF HORROR
Seventeen Killed and Thirty-One Ire
Injured in Railway Accident
TRAINS COLLIDE AT FLU SPEED
Awful Experience of Holiday Visit
ors While Returning On Saturday
From Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Grand Rapids. Special. Aa east
bound and a west-bound passenger
train on the Fere Marquette Railroad
met in a head-on collision, six miles
east of this city, about 6 o'clock ..
day evening, west of East Paris. Sev
enteen persons ere .known to be dead
and it is expected several more bodies
wilt be found under the wreckage.
More than 30 people were injured,
some of whom mill probably die. The
known killed are:
Engineer Charles A. Stoddard, of
the east-bound train, whose home waa
in Detroit;
Baggageman William Helm rich,
west-bound train. Grand Rapids;
Baggageman Wagar, of Detroit;
Fireman Ed. Burns, not accounted
for.
The injured were all Michigan people-.
The two trains were running at full
fpeed and the engines were reduced to
tangled hits of wreckage. The first
cars were alao demolished and the en
tire trains left the track, except the
last coach on each, so great was the
force of the collision.
P'e east-bound train was due to
leave here at 5:20 bound for Detroit
and was a Utile late. The west-bound
train was due from Detroit at 5:15. It
was also late. The latter was suppos
ed to be in Grand Rapids before the
other leaves this city, but on account
of being late was sent out before the
other arrived. "The wreck is said to
be due to a misunderstanding of or
ders. Tbe ast-bound train was crowded
with passengers when it left Grand
Rapids. It carried scores of Christmas
visitors returning to their homes along
the Pere Marquette line, after spend
ing the holiday here. The train was
much heavier than usual on account
of this extra rush. It Is reported that
the Incoming train was also heavily
loaded. It, too, bore a holiday crowd
as well as the regular Saturday rush
of passengers. As usual, the smokers
were damaged more than any ot the
other coaches and in the smokers
every seat was occupied. The wreck
took place about half a mile west of
East Paris. There Is a curve at that
point, and a long grade extends from
half a mtle east of East Paris to near
the scene of the wreck. The west
bound train had just descended the
grade when the collision occurred.
The speed of the train must have been
high, because of the velocity given by
the descent of the grade and of the
fact that ths train was trying to make
up time.
A relief train was dispatched from
here, a eecond train being made up to
"go out aa soon as the relief train re
turned. The trains met with a terrific crash,
the baggage and smoking cars beldnd
each locomotive being instantly re
duced to a pile of kindling wood. The
engines were completely wrecked, the
boiler of that which had pulled the
east-bound train being torn completely
from the running gear and standing
perpendicularly in a ditch at the side
of the track.
The engineer pays he never saw the
east-bound train. Assistance was at
once rendered to the injured and the
dead were released from the wreck.
Many heartreuding scenes were wlb
ftessed.

A FURIOUS BATTLE.
Thrilling Experience With a Band of
Armed Bank Robbers
TEEY DESTROYED MUCH MONEY
Demolished Safety Vault of the Bank
With Dynamite and Escaped Men
In Hot Pursuit.
Fort Worth. Texas. Special. A
special from South McAlester. L T
to The .Record, says:
"A bold bank robbery, attended by
a desperate battle between a posse of
citizens and robbers, occurred at Ki
owa, a small town 16 miles south of
this city Sunday, the robbers secur
ing and destroying about $28,000
which was in the bank.
"The men gained entrance to the
bank building through a rear win
dow. The first charge of itro-gly-cerine
made no Impression on the safe
but the noise aroused residents of the
town and soon a posse, composed of
60 men. was congregated In the stock
yards at the rear of the bank.
"A volley of shots was fired at the
building and it was at once returned
by the sentinels of the robbers secre
ted on the outside of the structure.
An almost incessant fire was kept up
for half an hour, during which time
the robbers continued their effort to
open the safe.
"It required three discharges to
force the door. The third explosion
was terrific and almost . completely
demolished the safe as well as the In
ner part of the bank building. The
paper money was blown to shreds,
large quantities of mutilated bills be
W left by the bandits. After loot
ing the safe the robbers left the bank
by the front and backed off into the
darkness, keeping up a fire oa the
posse.
"The men went In a southerly di
rection and were followed quite a dis
tance. It Is said that one of the rob
bers was Injured.
"The bank officers place their mon
etary loss at $28,000. It is believed
that the bandits made away, with only
a small part of this sum, the paper
money being almost altogether de
stroyed by explosion.
"A posse of United States marshals
Is in pursuit of the robbers."
Ominous Sign of War.
London Cable. The Daily Mails
Kobe correspondent asserts that the
Japanese army authorities have re.
quested the newspapers to refrain pub
lishing news concerning the movement
of troops or other war-like prepara
tions. In an editorial, the Daily Mail
says it regards this as a practical cen
sorship and an ominous sign. Editor
ial articles In other morning papers
express concern over the movement of
foreign war-ships toward the far East
and particularly over the statement
that the United States marines have
been ordered to Corea, fearing some
unforeseen Incident may precipitate
even tga
On the other hand, the speech deliv
ered by M. Delcasse, the French For
eign Minister, In the Senate Saturday,
(saying that nothing bad occurred to
make him place faith In the reports
that were being published daily), la
looked upon as reassuring and It Is be
lieved that efforts of the powers may
still be successful In preserving peace.
