Sle:.iuCi Sirio Strikes a Reef Ofl
Cnoe Palos.
CAPTAIN* COMMITS SUICIDE
i ivii/m?I Passengers Fight For Places
in (Ik* l.ifebnats, Where Many
Drown?Women Throw Ttiein
M'lVCK 111(11 t In
f'aitanena. Spain. ? 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

Chad wick. Mo. ? In the sight of
hundreds of churchgoers, Charles
Fraoman, the loading merchant of
Chadwick, and Robert Keene, 18
yc.-ais oiu. engaged in a duel in the
heart of ihe town, which was mortal
lo hoth.
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.

Vermillion, Oh it). ? 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. Neighboring towns
also sent aid. and the injured were
hurried to hospitals. It was not

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.
The first half of 1906 was the most
prosperous six months period in the
nation's histdry, and unless heavy
cancellation* occur tho last half of
the year will establish a still higher
record. *
Rlcel Dividend* Resumed.
United States Steel ban declared a
two per cent, dividend. The net pro
fit for the second quarter, amounting
tq $40,125,033, in the largest tn tbe

Schnu(lor, chief of tin* ?? r:iI corps
of tiii'ut inspectors i:i (his city, had
vainly tried to suppress tlie details
<if t lie iuspeciion. it may have heeti
t hat a reason for Mr. Sch:?ut|er's se
cret Iveness lay in an episode connect
ed with the visit of Secr-tmy W ilson
to tic.! hi;; storage house ol Arniottf
Co., at Second and X off is streets.
In a sup *i ficial survey of one of
the hi} refrigerators in tljis place, the
quick eye of the SecreiaVy caught. n
"condemned" tag upon the carcass of
:x calf. It was the I :i of a Chicago
inspector, and showed tit.it the car
cass had boon condemned as nnllt for
food.
Wheeling sharply upon Dr SchatiN
lor the Secretary rasped out:
"llow did this meat get into Phila
delphia ?"
Tho local man could find no an
swer. lie stammered something
about oversight, and was about to
order the meat^ thrown into the fer
tilizing tank wlifui he saw that tin
"approved" stamp was upon the in
side of the carcass.
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.'* *
