rWHALING VESSEL LOST. ,
Thrilling Esnape of ajCaptain, His Wife
and Several of His Seaman.
Seattle, Wash, Sept. 15.-—The captain
of the whaler Nlavarch, which was lost
In the arctic, and his wife came down
on the steamer Humboldt from St.
Oaptain Whitesides says
that the Navarch left San Francisco on
March 2 last and entered the Arctic
ocean in July. She was caught in the
Ice at a point 120 miles northeast of
Point Barrow. At first the captain
thought the ship could be extricated
from its position, but on July 29 he re—
alized that there was no 'hope of such
an event. Signals of distress were’
hoisted in the hope that the revenue
cwtter Bear or some of the Whalers of
the fleet would come to their assistance.
The fog came and obscured them for
four days. They drifted rapidly north-
ward with the icebergs. Finally they
decided to leave the ship. On Aug. 14
the whole crew took to the small boats
and started across the ice. After drag~
ging the boats for five miles they came
to open water and embarked. The cur-
rent caught them at once, and before
they had gone ten miles they were "in
another ice pack. They then had only
five days’ provisions, and they aban-
doned the boats and started across the
ice on foot. They got back safely and
then commenced preparations for a sec-
ond attempt to save themselves.
All but eight men decided 'to push
across ‘the icefields on foot. The weath-
e'r was not bitterly cold, but it was fog:
gy and disagreeable, and rapid travel
was impossible. A limited amount of
food was carried, for they thought they
Would surely reach the Bear or one of
the Whalers within two or three days.
The eight men left in the boat thought
they were better off there than on the
ice and were left to their fate.
Away across the treacherous ice went
the 37 men and the woman. After one
day out the captain and his wife and
seven of the others changed their minds
about the likelihood of saving them-
selves by the method they had under-
taken. They would come to open water
now and then, which impeded their es-
cape. Often it was necessary to go
around the massive icebergs. Nine of
the party went back to the ship, leav-
ing 29 on the ice. Nothing has been
heard of the 29 men since that day,
Aug. 12.
The party got back to the ship safely
and made another start with eight 1n
the party—Captain Whitesides, his wife
and six men. They took a small can-
vas boat, into which they put a week's
provisions. They got into clear water
in a few hours, and, paddling through
the fog and darkness, avoided as best
they could 'the drifting ic'e. They pushed
on for hours. Finally they could go no
farther, and they got out and walked
over the ice. ,
For 60 hours they kept on, first walk-
ing and now taking to the small boat.
At last land was sighted. The land
proved to be Copper island, a barren,
desolate island, from which position
they were rescued the following day by
the Bear. Captain Whitesides thinks the
29.- men left. on. the ice are surely lost.
”#13111“. MAD EMPRESS DYING.
\Vidow of the Unfortunate Maximilian
Near Death’s Door.
Brussels, Sept. 15.——Carlotta, ex-em-
press of Mexico, is so dangerously ii?

Marie Carlotta Amelie Auguste Vic-

born June 7. 1840, and was married Ju-
ly 27, 1857, to the ilL fated Maximilian,
afterward emperor of Mexico, who was
tried and shot on June 19, 1867.
Maximilian, in the midst of his trou-
bles in 1866. sent the empress to Paris
with instruc‘ions to ask Napoleon III
for more effectual aid. but she failed
entirely in her mission and proceeded
‘to Italy, where her reason gave way
in consequence of theitroubles she had
already undergone and in View of those
which she foresaw for her husband.
The unfortunate woman was eventu-
ally removed to the palace of Laoken,
near'Brussels, and, according to re-
port, during her lucid intervals she has
since employed her time in writing
memoirs of the history of the Mexican
empire. '

Thai is the Way They Do Things in
lorwalk. '
Mrs. C. A. Mullings, 35 Van Zandt
avenue, East. N orwalk, says: “Both
m y son and myself have been bothered
with‘catarrh, it troubling us very much
alike; the head being badly stuffed up,
while the matter dropping into the
throat caused continual coughing. I
procured arbottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South
Norwalk, and we began using it We
didn’t have to wait long to learn its
value, it relieved at. once. My head
and throat are now much clearer than
they have been for some time. I will
gladly recommend the inedicinc to any-
one who is suffering with catarrh‘.”
California. Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for the treatment of the mu-
cous membrane. It allays the inflam-
mation, checks the disease, and arrests
and repairs the decay of this delicate
lining. The ravages of catarrh may be
increased by impure blood, but purify-
ing the blood Will neither cure catarrh,
relieve hay fever, nor clean and purify
the nasal passages after a cold; while
no case of catarrh, even if the patient
has impure blood, fails to yield to Cali—
fornia Catarrh Cure.
In the case of a cold, the treatment
maybe begun as easily as possible, but
should be continued till the last trace
has disappeared.
In nasal catarrh the directions on
each bottle have only to be follow‘ed
till a cure is efi'ected, then, with care
of each cold, one may be free from
chronic catarrh forever.
Catarrh of the stomach presupposes
nasal catarrh, and is cured in the same
way.
California Catarrh Cure is sold at all
drug stores. _ A big bottle for 50 cents
and one three times as large for one
dollar.
THE SOUTHERN HURRICANE.
Five Lives Lost at Port Arthur, Tern—Sa-
bine l’fiaa Still Cut Off.
Port Arthur, Tex.. Sept. 15.——Five
persons are known to have been killed
and many others injured by the hurri-
cane which visited this place. The
dead are:
Frank Albright of Kansas City, em-
ployed by the electric light company.
George Martin, bricklayer, residence
unknown.
An unknown man, aged 38.
Jay Ain-sworth, 13 years old, daugh-
ter of William Ainsworth.
Infant son of W. H. Johnson, blown
from its mother’s arms and drowned.
The injured include Mrs. Roy Staf-
ford, whose right leg was broken near
the hip; Roy Stafford, legs badly bruis-
ed, and a little daughter of Mr. Staf-
ford, who is seriously injured.
The bodies of the victims have been
sent to Beaumont for interment, no
cemetery having as yet been started
here. .
Many buildings were blown down, in-
cluding the railroad roundhouse, where
May Ainsworth was killed. From early
morning the sky was threatening and a
stiff gale blew. No rain of consequence
fell until 4 p. m., and then it was ac-
companied by a heavy wind that in-
creased in intensity until it reached the
velocity of 80 miles an hour.
Advices from Winnie, Tex., say that
nearly all the houses there have been
blown down- and torn away.
At Webb all of the barns and one
house Were demolished and scattered
)ver the country.
All telegraphic communication with
Sabine pass is still interrupted. A relief
train left Beaumont for that place. It
is believed that much destruction was
wrought there, with probable loss of
life. A telegram received f m Beau-
mont at a late hour said: " e relief
train has just returned from Sabine
pass. It could get no nearer than eight
miles." It is reported that the new
town is completely gone. Nothing has
been heard from the old town. From
reports things look bad there.
TROLLBY CARS CRASH.
Both Motor-men “-'ill Die—Many Other
Persons Seriously Injured.
Chicago, Sept. 15.-—-Two electric cars
on the Suburban electric railway col-
lided while running at full speed along
the stretch of single track on Harlem'
avenue south of Harrison street, in
Lagrange, today.
The accident happened when traffic
was heavy, and nearly all the passen-
gers which both cars carried were in—
jured.
The motormen, J. Murphy and John
Jamison, will die. '
The following were seriousfly injured:
Conductor J. E. Harvey, August Ma-
netz. John ’Donnelly, Louis Groedel,
Frank Bratty, Richard Schaudel, Wil-
liam Otto, Roy Bloom, Thomas Robert,
Eliza Meredith, VJ. S. McKee, Charles
Whitsell, W. R. Ryan, Augusta Tupel.
on account of the heavy mist which
hung over the tracks the motorman of
the south bound car, which was to have
passed the north bound car where 'the.
double track ends, failed to notice that
he had left the double track.
Before he could reverse his trolley
and run back the north bound car came
along at full speed, the cars colliding
with terrific force.
