Story of the Normannia’s
Thrilling Experience.-

Only a Miracle. 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. M.—-The “nickel-

"in-the-slot case” was decided in the dis-

trict‘ court. 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. The machine would sometimes
give the customer a cigar, but more fre-
quently would produce a small card tell-
ing his fortune. Mayor Batchelder drew
a card and had Wallace arrested for keep—
ing a gambling house.
unusual interest as its final discision will
affect all slot machines of this nature in
the state. Judge Pettengill decided that
under the statutes W'allace was guilty of
maintaining a'gaming house.

JERSEY CITY, N. J ., Jan. ,24.——Governor
Werts has handed down a" decision in the
charges against the street and water

'commissiouersof, Jersey City, whose re-

moval was sought by Frank 0. Cole,

their office, and general incompetency.
Mayor Wanser heard the charges and of
the eighteen accussed commissioners he
asked for the removal of but three. Gov-
ernorNVerts refused to remove the ac-
cused oflicials because of lack of evi-
dence, and an apparent desire to remove
them without gOOd cause or proper evi-
ence as required by law.

A. P. A. in Oregon.

PORTLAND, Ore., J an. 2 —-'l‘he Ameri-
can protective association has finally
made its appearance in fortland. Chief
of Police Hunt called his force before him
and lectured them at great-length regard-
ing the evil results of policemen allying
themselves to secret societies whose ob-
jects are inimical to thOSe of any particu-
lar church or creed. It was subsequently
learned that tWenty members of the force

posed to already have a. membership of at
least 1,500.

RIO J ANEIRO, Jan. 19, via. MONTEVIDEO,
Jan. 24;-—-On the night of Jan. 15 the in»
Sill'gents recaptured Mocan‘gue island,
with three email cannon and 130 prison-
ers. The killed and wounded numbers
fiftY- The insurgents lost fourteenkilled.
The insurgent warship Aquidaban
brought to Rio bay 600 men, who now
occupy Conceicao and Mocangue islands.

An unsuccessful. attempt to land at
Nictheroy was made by the insurgents on
Jan. 16. Government‘troops tried to re-
take Mocangue island on the night of
Jan. 17, but failed. ,

The friends of the insurgents are elated
over the recent successes of their side,_and
their contributions of gold are increasing.
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.

TRENTON, N. J ., J an. 24.—The operative
potters have passed resolutions that the
reduction in wages announced by their
employers is “unnecessary and uncalled
for at this time.” A committee repre-
senting all branches of the trade will be
appointed to confer with the employers,
and unless a compromise of a liberal na-
ture is effected astrlke will be inaugur—
ated. 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.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Slat—Mr. Dunphy, of
New York, has introduced in the house a
resolution requesting the secretary of the
treasury and attorney-general to inform
the house whether John I. Davenport,
chief supervisor of elections for the
southern district of New York, is right-
fully in possession of any room in the
postoflice building at New York city, and
if not, what remedy this government has
against such unlawful intrusion upon the
use of its property. ’

 

A Sad Case at Chicago.

CHICAGO, J an. 24.——During the terrible.

food for a sick husband and her children,
was so Seriously injured that she has since
died. Mrs. Lindgreen was one of a long
line of poor people and in their impatience
to he waited. on, the crowd began pushing
and fighting. The woman’s hip was
broken and she was otherwise injured.
Owing to her starved condition her ina
juries proved fatal.

School and Religion.

HAVERHIIL, Mass, Jan. 24.”—Consider—
able excitement has been created in G-i-ove-
land by the issuing of an order by the
school committee to the efiect that roll-
call shall not take place in the schools
until after the opening of exercises, thus
giving the children of Catholic parents
opportunity'to stay out during the read-
ing of the Bible, without being marked
tardy. There is talk of calling a meeting
to protest against the enforcement of the
order. '

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. While no destination is.
stated, it is known that the orders are to
have troops in readiness to prevent the
CorbettMitchell fight from taking place
in Georgia. It is expected that the cav-
alry will‘be pasted 0n the Florida. line.
Four companies have been ordered in
readiness.

 

Incandescent Lamp Patent Run Out.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24..—-Judge Ricks of
the United States circuit court of Ohio
has just rendered a decision in the suit of
the Edison Electric Light company
aghinst the Buckeye Electric company,
holding that the Edison incandescent
lamp patent expired on Nov. 10 of last
year, when the English patent for the
same invention expired. The effect of
this, it is said, is to throw the manufac-
ture of incandescent lamps open to the
public.
