A Change of Connections. y The Atlantic Coast Line bas issued new shipping orders in regard to freights between Baltimore and the Sooth. On Monday freights were ordered shipped via the Baltimore, . Chesapeake and Richmond Steam? boat Company, (known as the York River Line, instead of the Bay Line, which has for twenty years or more bandied it The. Bay Line is, as is well kuown, operated by the Sea boaid system and the York River Line is controlled by the Southern * Railway Company, but it is claimed that the change in no way refers to the differences between those two ^ great systems There are, however, strong reasons to believe that the re? cent rate war has had something to fe do with the matter In the fight be? tween thc Seaboard and Southern the t Atlantic Coast Line was known to nave practically joined hands with the Southern and this change of freight arrangements that have been considered satisfactory for a score of years certainly looka as though it might be a Southern move. Mr. G C. Ken?y, agent of the At? lantic Coast Line, in Baltimore, stated to a reporter for the Baltimore American that the change was made for the purpose of handling their own freight at their own warehouses, which, he said, will give the ship? pers a day's better time from there to . points South Heretofore freight for that line has been going to Ports '0Lmouth, Va., by the Bay Line, and ' has been transferred from there to the Atlantic Coast Line through the Seaboard Air Line. Instead of the ,. freight going to Portsmouth by the Bay Line it will be handled by the Fork River Line at Pinners Point, one of the northern terminals of the Atlantic Coast Line "The change is not the result of any disagreement with the Seaboard," said Mr. Kealy, "but is made so we can handle our own freight at our own terminal, and give the shippers the advantage of /. getting their goods through on better time The change affects the entire East, and hereafter all freight for our Hue from Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Providence will be delivered to us at Pinners Poiot." - m " ' m . ? Slaughtered by a Steamer. -ir i J ?T. JOHN'S, N P, Nov. 6.-Tt?e steamer Tjber, Capt DeLisle, bound JorSydBey, left here at 7 o'clock to? night. Fifteen minutes later, when just beyond the entrance to the har? bor, she collided with the schooner Maggie; bound from Benavist Bay .for St John's, with a cargo of fish anoV lumber. Thirteen lives were lost. The schooner carried a crew of nine and fourteen passengers, five cf whom were women. The schoon? er sad ber lights displayed and there > was no justification on the steamer's part for the collision, because the ' night was clear and the schooner qoite near the shore in a part bf the entrance where steamers rarely go. The schooner was struck amidships, cot in two pieces and sunk instantly. AU aboard were on deck. They ? were thrown into the water, and those saved were only rescued by J the help of the floating deck load of lumber. Several were caught under the sails and dragged down with the sinking vessel Others were unable ? to keep afloat until the rescue boats arrived, and dropped of the planks. Two men climbed up the steamer's side and seven were 6aved by her boats One woman was also saved, making ten souls rescued. The oth? er thirteen, nine men and four wo? men, were drowned. Capt. Blun don's wife, who was bringing her . consumptive sixteen year-old boy to. the hospital at St. John's, was drowned, though her husband had her on a plank The boy was saved. The captain's brother and nephew were also lost Seven widows and thirty three orphans is the result of this catastrophe The pecuniary losses of the survivors are heavy. Ail OR board the schooner were Imore or less closely related. The ac? cident happened within half a mile of the town. The steamer lay to while she sent a boat ashore to land the survivors, and then continued her voyage. i The police are arranging to cause the arrest of the Tiber's captain at Sydney on a charge of manslaughter. The Government is caring for the survivors. "The worst cold I ever had io my life was cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," writes W. H. Norton, of Sutter Creek, Cal.
