Three hun dred emigrants wore d row nod off Cape Palos. The ((a 1 ia 11 steamship Sirio, from Genoa for Cadiz, Monte video and Buenos AVres. with eight hundred persons on hoard, was wrecked off Jlnrmlgas Island. Most of those losi were Italians and Span iards. The captain of the steamer committed suicide. lie attributed the wreck to his own imprudence. The Bishop of Sao Pablo, Brazil, wa? drowned while blessing the passen gers of the Sirio. The Archbishop of Sao Pedro was saved. Ties remainder of the passengers and the officers and crew got away in the ship's boats, or were rescued by means of boats from shore. A number of fishermen who made at tempts at rescue were drowned by the overturning of a boat. Those rescued from the vessel were taken to ('ape Palos in a pitia ble condition, being without food or clothing* , Tht1 Sirio, which was owned by tho /| Navigazione Italia, of Genoa, struck a rocky reef known as Bajos Hormi gas and sank soon after, stern first. Hormigas Island lies about two and a half miles to the eastward of Cape Palos. Before he committed suicide the captain said the steamer had C4!? pas sengers on board and that her crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio had 5 70 passengers when she left Genoa, but additional Spanish passengers were taken on board at Barcelona, ?where the vessel touched a few hours before she struel:. The steamer was threading a dif flcnIt passage through the Hormigas group, where the Bajos Hormigas Beef is a continual menace to naviga tion. The vessel began to settle rap idly an soon as she struck, and a ter rible scene of confusion ; nd panic followed. The fishermen along the coast s?:ight to render every assist ance in their power, and sent out boats which brought many survivors ashore'. Most of the o flicers and crew of the Sirio are among the saved. The survivors campo<l in the main square of the town at\ Cape Palos. There were harrowing scene's, as th? strick-n families anxiously sought members among the Ifcscucd. A mother who lost her three children went insane. The doctor*of the Sirio gave up his wife and /-hild as lost, but they were finally /brought in by one of the rescuing 'boats. One of the boats sent out i/y the fishermen brought in (wenty-iOnr passengers. A few niinu'es la'er the. vessel be gan to sink by the stern, "'the pas sengers rushed forward, fighting for places in the bow of the boat. Many fell and were trampled to death. Dozens of men and women threw themselVes into the sea. A young mother, who was carrying her baby, was advised to abandon the child and try to save herself. This she refused io do. Both were afterwards res-, cued. I>ri;ii TO DEATH IX STREET. Merchant anil Allcp'd Assailant of llis Daughter Die Together. Chad wick. Mo. ?

Several days ago Freeman began legal proceedings against Keene, who was accused of attacking the mer chant's daughter. Keene was a mem ber of one of the oldest and most re spected families in the county. He vehemently denied th<> charge, and sent word to Freeman he would kill him on sight. Freeman was returning, from church with his wife and children. The girl who was the cause of the tragedy was walking at her father's side. Keene suddenly turned a cor ner, and the two enemies were face to face. The street was filled with churchgoers, all walking, and, as every one knew of the feud, there was flight in every direction when the shooting began.

Misunderstand of orders resulted in ;? hcad-ou collision between' two cars of tho Lake Shore Klectric Road in which three persons wo/i! killed and forty others severely hurt The ears came together with such force that one was telescoped more thai) half way through by the other. The accident ftocurred three miles west ot Vermillion on a curve of the road. The west-hound Lake Shore lClectric Limited was filled with men, women ami children a id the signal apparently gave it the right ot way. Tho regular car, known as No. 12, was coming east, and. it was said, that the signal also was set lor it to go ahead. Near the curve the ro.id is a single track, with switches about a mile away on either side of the curve. It is customary for one <>i the cars to wait at the switch for the other to pass, but through a misunderstand ing of orders, neither motoi;mau wail ed for t he ot liar. There were eighty persons in both cars. Thinking that then' w~s a clear track ahead both motormen put on full power as they left the switches and the cars dashed toward tho curve. It was impossible, of course, for the moiormen to see around the bend in the road ami the two cars came together just as they struck the middle of the curve. There was not even rime to shut off t ho power before the crash came, and none of thos< in the cars had a sec ond's warning that the collision was impend' g. The passenger:-, in the limited re mained wedged between the rear door and the front of the regular car for a half hour before the uninjured c?i the other car were able to tear away sufficient of tin* wreckage to enable those not severely hurt to crawl from their perilous position. Many who otherwise would have sus tained slight injuries were severely hurt because of the |?ngih of the time they remained crowded between the two cars. Soon after the accident word vas sent to Vermillion for help,and a halt dozen carriages containing physician* and bandages started for the so ? 11<> ot the wreck.

I I'l dm (ion of lreiglil Rales Likely to Swell Movement t<? Chicago. Chicago.?Ilulging warehouses are regarded as a cerlainty by wheat handlers here, and at other linpor tant centres;. A red net ion of freight rates from the West and Southwest lias insured a bin lino of wheat to Chicago and Milwaukee. The reduc tion in the rate placet* wheat on the same basis as (lour. Within three days after the rate reduction was announced, more than 500,000 bush els of wheat were unloaded in the Chicago market. It is anticipated that the receipts of wheat here in the next two weeks will be the largest of the crop year, if not the largest on record. This market is relatively the highest in the, country, but despite this there have been many accumulations at all other important centres in the winter wheat belts east and west. The earliest and greatest move-j mcnt of wheat ever known is over whelming the trade here and at oilier primary points. The crop has exceeded expectations both in size of the yield and quality. Prices havo dropped nearly ten cents from tho recent high point, and the trade is more bearish with prices at seventy six for September than they were recently at eighty-five cents. Nearly x.000,000 bushels of wheat has been bought to come to Chicago within four weeks. Receipts in ono week wero 3.303.000 bushels, an In crease of 896,000 bushels for ihe week and of 1,4 79,000 bushels over last year. The question of flnnnelnjr, storing and merchandizing the great crop Is agitating the trade. ? Recwrd Period For Country.

It was oviuent that the animal had been condemned as unsound when alive, but that examination of the organs after death showed the meat lo be lit for food. To the mind of the Secretary, however, the existence of the second tag did not excuse the failure of the local inspectors to re move the condemned tan, aiu{ he ex pressed himself sharply to that ef fect. A total of 1 examinations were, made by the municipal inspectors. As a result of tho day's work three meat shops were reported to he un sanitary and notices were served upon the proprietors that unless con ditions are remedied their places will be closed. All the stores are In th" Kensington district. Condemnations were made of fifty-seven pieces of meat, a total of 7t'?2 pounds. While the new Federal Inspection law is expected to aid in purification ol' the meal supply, which goes into interstate commerce and foreign trade, and incidentally also the local meat, trade, tiie hulk of the work in assuring a pure meat supply for local consumption must be done by tho local inspectors. For till* reason the ordinance which has been framed by Dr. Leon ard Pearson, and behind "which will bo aligned all the-influences of tho Department of Health and Charities, will be of paramount importance to Philadelphia. Federal inspection here will not guarantee the fitness of a pound of meat Intended for local consumption. D. will be concerned with tho clean liness and freedom from disease of meats going outside of Pennsylvania. The local inspectors under tho pro jected ordinance will bo called upon to safeguard the people of this city from putridity, disease, adulterations and unelcanlinoss in the meats "nd fish that are served upon tables in Philadelphia.'* * IUNKMHS IjUT TllIKF KSCAPK. | $12r?,0()0 Dropped in Copper l?y Pitts burg l']inbe/*/Jcrs.
