Wireless messages from the steamer Carmania report that the steamer Volturno had been abandoned afire at sea, and that 130 of the passengers and crew were missing. Ten steamers responded to wire less calls for helj) snd fought for hours In a raging gale to save the hundreds aboard the doomed boat. The Volturno caught tire tn mid-At lantic and was abandoned Thursday morning. She sailed from Rotterdam on Oc tober 2d for New York. It is be lieved she carried IMO steerage and 24 cabin passengers and a crew of 93. Capt. Hair, of the Carmania, was 7 8 miles distant when he got the call for help. Ho crowded on full steam and made for the vessel In tho teeth of a roaring gale. When the Carma nia reached the vicinity of the Vol turno it found the latter burning fiercely. Six life boals had been low ered. Four of them, tilled with pas sengers, smashed against the ship's side in the high seas. The Carina nia's life boats made a gallant hut futile effort to get alongside the doomed Volturno. After a two hours' battle with the waves the attempt had to be given np. Capt. Harr then nianoeuvered his vessel close to the Volturno and got within a hundred feet. but. the storm prevented his getting a line to the vessel or rescuing any of the passen gers on decks. The passengers and crew of the Carmania stood on the decks and watched the hundreds on the burn ing vessel as they rushed panic stricken back and forth. Most of tho Volturno'a passengers got into life boats. The crew, meantime, was vainly battling with the llames, which were eating up the forward end of the ves sel. Capt. Barr kept the wireless at work, sending out calls for help. Late in the afternoon the steamers Grosser Kurfuerst and Seydlitz came in sight, and were joined later hy the Kroon land, Devonian, Rnppahannock, Min neapolis, La Tourable and Asian. The gale moderated toward night. All of the ships lowered life boats. The-waves were still so high lt was impossible for tho small craft to get nlongside the ship. Approaching darkness drove them hack to their ships. At 9 o'clock at night the (lames burst through the amidship. As the tire threw a light across tho sky .' terrific explosion on the Vol turno hurled the burning pieces of vreckage into the sea. All that could he done by would-be helliers was to throw overboard lighted life buoys and stand by boiling to pick up some of those cast into the sea. About midnight a ray of hope came when it seemed the flames were not making such a great headway. At daybreak the Volturno was still floating and the sea was moderating. The vessel was still burning and the passengers were still huddled on the decks. Reports Confirmed. London, Oct. 12.-The latest ac counts of the disaster to the steamer Volturno, burned and abandoned In midjocean Friday morning, confirm that the loss of life will ho limited to aboui i3G. The Carmania, first of the rescuing shills to reach the burning steamer, arrived off Queenstown this morning, but owing to the gale pro ceeded direct to Fishguard, where she ls due to arrive at 11 a. m. The Carmania has one lone survi vor of the Volturno aboard. From that survivor, however, comes a thrilling story of tho burning of the steamer, of the terror, the struggle for the boats, the death of those who went over the sides and his own des perate fight for life.

Oct. 12.- Mrs. .lennie May Baton will he put on trial Tuesday, charged with the mur der of her husband. Hear Admiral .los. G. Eatsm. The prosecution con tends that Mrs. Eaton gave tho admi ral poison with his meals at their home in Asstnippl. Tho defense claims that he died of self-adminis tered drugs.

In 1006 (at Chicago) Mrs. Aains worth divorced her husband, and six months later she married tho admiral in Washington. Tho bride brought to the household her two daughters, .Hine and Dorothy. In 1007 the admiral bought, a little farm In Assinippi. Two years later ho adopted a child that lived but a short time. Mrs. Eaton publicly charged her husband with having poisoned tho child.
