That ManyI-lives Were, Not Lost—The Fittings of the Yes-' :61 Badly Damaged and Ruined-— Loss on: the $50,000, Cargo 0.! Tobacco Believed to Be Complete. NEW YORK, Jan. 24.——The olficers and passengers of the Hamburg-American» hue steamer N ormannia, which returned yesterday after encountering "a tremend- ous comber 760 miles: rom‘this port early Sunday morning last, have all sorts of experiences to relate. ' . The damage to the steamer will prob. ably amount to $100,000, not including the loss occasioned by her return, and the $50,000 cargo of tobacco is ruined. ‘ Third Officer Lange, who Was on the 01‘1ng at the time the mountain of water boarded the ship, and whose escape from death seems almost miraculous, tells the following story: “' I ' ‘ -' ' “lVe were running at full speed, and just as the first glimmer of dawn ap- peared, at 6:15, I saw a huge wall of water rise. on the port low. It towered half again above the bridge where I stood, but the ship’s prow breasted it gallantly and ‘ rose safely to the Summit of the crested comber, pausing for an instant before taking the declivity that lay before it. Then a sight met my eyes which caused me to fall flat on the bridge, grasping a rail and clinging for life. - Right behind the first wave, and following swiftly upon it, was a second, even higher; which tow- ered above the crow’s nest in the fore- mast. I saw that the ship could not get down the slope of the first wave in time to negotiate the second one, and so I grabbed for a hold and shouted to the few ’of the crew on deck to hang on for their lives. Like an avalanche it fell upon the Normannia’s steel prow, slightly to port. The crash of the thousands of tons of water as they fell shook the ship from stem to stern, and for an instant stopped her in her course. Then the water plunged forward down the decks, after bending and twisting the steel rails at the bow, built to stand the fury of any'tempest. “The steel bits on which the anchor chains are bent when the anchors are out' were broken squarely in two across the bottom, although they presented butza couple of square feet of surface to the rushing water. From this point to the forward deckhouse the wall of water, still :20 feet high, had full swing. With a crash itfell against the firstwbig ‘obstacle in its way. The half-inch steel plates of the deckhouse curled up like paper before the irresistible force and left a hole big enough to drive an ice wagon through. The Woodwork, of course, was smashed to splinters. In the deckhouse. Second Officer Kading was sleeping. The water hurled him from his bunk, dashed him against the steel sides of his room and then dropped him, more dead than alive, to the floor. Behind his room was the ladies saloon, a beautiful apartment, fin- ished in plush, with hand-painted panels, plenty of gilding and artistic woodwork. This was ruined. “The force of the sea was still unspent, for it broke down the rear partition of the room and fell into the music room just behind. This was soon ruined. The main saloon below was then deluged. Down the water fell by the hundreds of tons, and in a jiffy the dining portion of the ship was afloat. Everything was ruined which could possibly be damaged and all the glassware and crockery in sight was smashed to bits. ‘ “Down another deck the sea water went by the same skylight until it reached the forehold. Here was stored a cargo of to- bacco valued at $50,000. It was utterly ruined. Even greater was the force with which the water poured down the com- paniouway. It ripped the costly upright piano in the music room from its fasten~ ings and hurled it against the big mirror at the head of the stairs. But it did not ' stop there, but, rolling and tumbling, the piano went hanging down the stairs, with the torrent until it came to rest in the hold. It couldn’t hays gone any lower without knocking a hole in the ship’s bottom. “But there was more water aboard than the saloons, big as they were, could hold, sothe balance, which would have found- ered a vessel not so big as the Normannia, kept on down the passageways which led to the staterooms of the passengers. It burst open the doors of all the rooms in the forward compartment. This was the . first intimation the passengers had of the ' extent of the damage, and in a jiffy came a panic. “Some Screaming, some praying, all in their nightclothes, passengers rushed out of their rooms, only to be confronted by water three to dye feet deep.- _ “The captain soon appeared and man- aged to quiet them, and assured all hands that the ship wasn’t going to sink. Some of the passengers and crew had to swim, so deep was the water in certain parts of the ship.” 0f the seven men injured all will re- cover, except Second Officér Kading, who is believed to be fatally hurt. The N ormannia will probably sail in a few days for Hamburg where repairs will be made. Had the wave boarded the ship an hour and a half later, theresults would have been terrible. The passengers would have been in the saloon at breakfast and few could have escaped drowning or serious injury. Most of the water that came aboard the vessel found its way into the bilge and was pumped out. It is estimated that some 400 tons were pumped out. Arnold-Van Bensselaer N uptials. ALBANY, Jan. 24:.—The old Van Rensse- leer mansion f outing the Hudson ‘on the . banks of East reen’bush was transformed into a floral treature house yesterday. There was witnessed a union of two of the oldest Dutch families in the country. The bride was Katherine Westeric Van Rens‘ selaer, daughter of Mr. Visscher Van Rens- selaer. The groom was Mr. Benjamin llv'alrcth Arnold. of Albany. ' .. ‘ HAWAll EVERYWHERE. The New York Legislature Takes Action on the Subject. ALBANY, N. Y.. Jan. 24.—Soon after, the state Senate was called to order the concurrent resolution passed 'by the as- sembly congratulating the presidentvand the people of Hawaii on the abandonment - of the Hawaiian policy came up. Senator Saxton asked that it be adopted at once. Senator Cantor made a sarcastic speech proposing that a. petition be drawn up asking congress not to take any action without first having consulted this sen-j ate. “'hy should congress and the state: senate change places? . Waiian question figured largely In'the elections last fall and members of the senate were elected on that issue. He asked that the resolution be sent' to the financecommittee and that the commit- tee be empowered to send for President Cleveland and for the queen and to cross— question them: : -’ Senator Saxton said that the resolution 'was not at all unusual, as Mr. Cantor very well knew. He had , no doubt that all the senators were fully in accord with the statement made in the resolution, democrats as well as republicans. He could see no reason why the resolution should not be adopt-ed at once. Senator Cantor said that the resolution should not be passed without having been examined. There had been:no “abandon- ment of the policy of the administration.” The questibn had merely beenreferred to congress. ' , After some further discussion the reso— lution was adopted by a viva voce vote. Slot 'llInchine‘siare Gambling. MADEN, Mass, Jan.

This is the . case ' in which Freeman L. \Vallace wasarraigned upon complaint of Mayor Francis Batchelder of the city of Everett, charged with keep< ing a gaming house. Mayor Batchelder went into \Vallace’s store and dropped a nickel in the slot of a machine on the cOunter.

Their mail carrier says that he has car- ried off from here a total of one million pounds sterling. , The steamer Wordsworth carried to Pernambuco an agent of the insurgents, who is to try to ship on the government cruiser Nictheroy and then make an at- tempt to destroy her. . Admiral da Game, in an interview with a representative of the United Press. evaded the question when he was asked why the Aquidaban and Republics. had not met the Nictheroy at Pernambuco. He also refused to say why Admiral Mello had not captured Para, Pern’ambuco and Bahia, all defenceless, instead of lying in Paranagua bay. A government official said that Presi- dent Peixoto and Admiral da Gama had agreed to submit their differences to the United States for arbitration, but that certain well-paid officers were trying to prevent the agreement from being car- ried out. President Peixcto expects that the war will be ended by Jan. 25. There is now a large fleet of American warships in the harbor. The object of their presence here, it is said, is to prevent European interference in the settlement of the matters in dispute between the government and the insurgents. Potters Threaten to Strike.

Comparatively few hands have been at work since Navember last, and the idea of the manufacturers is to put on, full forces if the men will accept the re- duction. Still Alter“ Davenport.

More Likelihood of the People Mau- 8glllg the Affair Engaging in Fis- ‘ tic Combat—Troops Arrive in Jack- sonville and Martial Law May B9 Proclalmed To—morrow Morning. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 24.—-The eve of the day originally set for the big fight between America’s champion heavy weight James J. Corbett and England’s champion Charlie Mitchell finds this staid old town in great excitement, a 0019138111? of militia called out for active servme en- camped within its corporate limits, and the belief general that martial law will be declared tomorrow morning. As to the fight, everything is still prob- lemetical. The matter of the permanent injunction is to be decided to-day, but that does not seem to interest the sporting element near as much as the final diapo- sition of that $20,000 check. Referee Kelly, With a crowd of newspaper men at his heels, presented the check at the bank for payment, but was told that until the con- ditions on the back were fulfilled the money could not be drawn. Kelly then got the members of the club together and proceeded to do some very emphatic talk- ing. The result was that the club -mem: bers went into secret conference and had what came nearer being a fight than any- thing that has, or is likely to occur, in this neighborhood for Some time. It Is generally believed that the check will never be cashed until the club has sold enough tickets to recoup themselves for their contributions tOWards the purse. There is no denying that the appearance of the soldier boys has greatly angered the majority of the citizens, who are anxious to have the contest pulled off as at first planned. Major Lowell says he has received no further orders than to re- port to the sherlfl, which he has done. He says he will, of course, obey the orders of the governor, but he knows that nine - out of every teniof the militiamen would like to witness the fight. The matter of postponing the fight until Saturday will be determined after the de— cision on the injunction application is handed down. It is understood that both Corbett and Mitchell have agreed to a postponement, but it is more than likely, that if the contest does not take place to- not under the supervision of the Duval club. ; 7 . . .. .. On the whole, the situation to—dayjs of a. comic opera nature, with the outlook for a fight, or a series of fights, between the club members and others interested in the matter far brighter than are the chances of Corbett andMitchell coming together here. Georgia Cavalry in Readiness. SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan. 24.-—Col. W. W. Gordon, Fifth Georgia caValry, has re- ceived orders from Governor N orthen ordering the available companies of his regiment to be in read ness at 8 o’clock to- night armed with rifles and with one days cooked rations.
