J. More Than Four Score Sdnls Perish Instantly. A tragedy of the sea, accompanied with details of a most harrowing description, befell the Spanish steamship Viscaya at 7:30 o'clock a few nights ago, barely seven hours after she left the port of New York with ninety-three sou's on board, of whom only twelve were rescued to tell of the disaster. The Viscaya had just passed Barnegat Light, on the New Jersey coast; the stars were shining brightly Captain Francesco Canill stood on the bridge, and the male passengers, of whom there were ten, were in the smoking room and on deck. Suddenly a schooner loomed lip, and without warning crashed into the starboard side amidships, cutting a terrible hole in the side, through which the sea poured, extinguishing the fires and destroying all chance of running the vessel ashore. A part of the rigging fell on Captain Canill, killing him instantly. Four minutes later the steamer sank with all her passengers and sixty-five of her crew. Barely had the boiling or' the water announced that the steamer had gone down when the schooner disappeared, leaving no trace even of her crew. l'he passengers who were on the steamer Viscaya who are lost art-: Juan Pedro, M. A. Calvos, wife, child and nurse, Mr. Pu'er and three children, A. Ruiz, Jose Acaibia, Ramona Alvarez, Juan F. Hedmann, Iscar Islauer, Luigi Pellion, Josa M. Garcia. Close upon the crash followed a terrible scene. Mrs. Calvos, one of the passengers, rushed ou deck with her baby in her arms, and when she learned that the vessel was going to sink, she cried loudly for help for nerseif and child, but no heed was paid to her. Mr. Purr and his three children, all of tender years, were also on deck with the other passengers, and as the vessel went down the air was rent with the despairing cries of the doomed ones. Altogether, it is an unexplainable accident nnH is the most awful marine disaster that Las happened off the coast since the Geiser was run into by the Thingvalla two years ago and sunk with 105 of her passengers ana crew. The crew, evidently, made no effort to save anyone but themselves. As soon as the vessel struck those on deck jumped into tha water and swam to the schooner. There were about twenty of them. No attempt was made to send up distress rockets. An order was given to lower a lifeboat, but as the vessel began to settle the crew abandoned the attempt. Those who had leaped overboard managed to reach the schooner and climbed into the rigging, from which twelve -were subsequently rescued after twelve hours of suffering by the British steamer Humboldt, bound rrorn Rio Janeiro to New York. A little before 5 o'clock that morning the Humboldt took a pilot aboard. As the vessel came nearer port he mounted the bridga with Captain Black and First Officer Chase. On looking through his glass toward shore the Captain saw something in the distance which he could not make out. It looked like a vessel, but was without a hull. Small black objects could been on it. Captain Black vteered his vessel toward it, o rvrvmo/iViOfJ cot*' f frvnn ntlU. tt3 ?c vavucii^ o?*n uuv cvuo ut iu?-?? tall mast3 sticking up in the air, with a dozen men hanging on and feebly waring their arms to attract attention. A little nearer shore was the steamer, hor funnel and three masts sticking out of the water. The steamer's yawl was lowered and, manner! by First Officer Chase and four sailors, went to the wrecked schooner, to the riggiug of which it was made fast. The sailors climbed up and assisted the twelve shipwrecked men into the boat. On reaching tne steamer, more dead than alive, thev were taken aboard and given dry clothes and :food. Mauy of the crew were without hats, coats, shoe*, or, in fact, any covering but shirts and trousers, and when taken off they shook like palsied men, were not able to speakand had to bo carried on board the steamer. During the twelve hours that they were exposed a number of them dropped into the sea, cither frozen or killed. Those above, seeing the same fate staring them in the face, cut piec's from the upper sails of the schooner and used them as a covering, and to that they owe their lives. The Viscaya, wh en was outward bound, lies seven miles off Barnegat, inside the schooner, as if her Captain had made an effort to slew her around and beach her. The 'rysnils are set, and the gaffs almost touch the water. The VjVcaya was a three masted, iron screw steamer, built in 1S72 by J. & W Dudgeon, of London. She is 287 feet long, thirty-sight; feet beam aud twenty-seven feet deep. She had three cylinders of thirty-four, sixty and thirty inches. She was recently ' repaired and reiltted. and valued at 1350,000. The cargo was a general one, valued at $60,lOti. _ | Captain Canill was about fifty years of age fnn1 married. He leaves a family, who reside in Spain, and has been for twenty years in the employ of the company. He was just starting on his fourth trip in the Viscaya. Juan Pedro and M. A. Cairo had just arrived by the steamer La Bretagne from Havre, France. Senor Pedro was a member by man iagc ot the famous Barro family.

These, with 1*3 own possessions, made him the richest man in. the island of Cuba, his wealth being estimated at $20,000,000. His palace at Havana is said to be one of the most beautiful private residences outside of the princely castles of the Old World. He was born in Spain, but passed most of his life in Cuba, where his children were born. He h^d been in Europe with his wife, his son and daugbter-in law since Juq?. Senor Alvo was a member or the firm of Francke Sons & Co., of Havana. He is well known as one of the largest dealers in sugar in Havana. He was about forty-seven years old. He was accompanied by bis wife, his fourJear-old sop and a maid. Mme. Cairo was a [iss Augulo. The other passengers are unknown to prom- ' inent Cubans in New York City and were probably on their way to the smaller .ports at which the Viscayo called.

ALIYE IN HIS GRAVE, Fred. Barder's Terrible Fate Alter i Swallowing Morphine. j Great excitement has been caused at New Philadelphia, Ohio, by the discovery that Frederick Harder had been buried alive a few days before, and on recovering consciousness had made terrible efforts to free himself from his prison house before death released him. Sarder took an oVerdos9 of morphine probay with suicidal intent, and apparently died in a few hours. The family of the deceased feltdisgaced by the matter and sought to keep the facts as quiet as possible: so there na t.hnroncrh an examination made as possibly would otherwise have been. The corpse was casually examined by a physician ana life was pronounced extinct, and the remains were buried. Next day a brother of the deceased, who lives in Louisville, Ky., arrived, and seemed much disappointed at not arriving in time for the funeral. It was finally decided to disinter the remains simply to gratify* the brother, whose grief was pitiable. This was done, and when thg casket was reached it waa loUtd thai the glass in the lid had been broken, the body within was distorted and the face cut and scratched on the broken pieces of glass. i The condition of the corpse was such as to I leave little doubt upon the minds of those I who saw it that life was not extinct when I Fred. Harder was buried, and that the awful ' fata ol beiu? buried alive had bq?n *"'a Tfc* | already gnei-^tTi?!!?" hrnttdr *4? f ruosi frantic at this new developement, and it is feared that ha will lose his mind. The casket was inclosed within a wooden box. so that the theory that the coflln-lid was broken in burial is exploded, and those who were present say that the usual care in lowering L1~ ? 1 T\JA Klama ' colons into mu grave ?tu umcu. ?? can be attached to any one but the family. The remains were re-arranged and buried. THE COMPLETE CENSUS. There Are 62,-ISO,540 of Us in This Great Country. The Census Bureau at Washington has officially announce 1 the population of the United States, as shown by the first count of persons and families, exclusive of white persons in Indian Territory, Indians on reservation and Alaska, to be 62,480,540.

In 1870 the population was stated as 3?,558,371. According to these figures the absolute increase in the decade between 1S70 and 1880 was 1 J,5'J7,412, and the percentage of increase was 30.08. Upon their face these figures show that the population has iuceased, between 1880 and 1S90, only 727,424 more than between 1880 and 1800: only 727,245 more than between 1870 and 1880, while the rate of increase has apparently diminished from 30.08 to 24.57 per cent. The bulletin contains a statement showing the relative rank of States and Territories in population. As in 18S0, New York still leads the list and is followed by Pennsylvania.

He is . . deemed very high authority lby these social aspirants, who are eager to secure his favor, v ' -w concerning oe3thetic wine-drinking, and as to the various kinds of wine to be selected for the grand social entertainments, of which he is the master spirit.
