Two of the ahree small-pox patients here have died, but the other will recover. The mother of the children now admits that she was in Montreal with them three weeks ago and that the youngest child was taken sick twelve days after her return. The story she told previously was falsa and the statement of the attending physician that he bad been treating the child eleven weeks for measles seems equally grounuless.

St. Johns, N. Sept. 3. A special correspondent who visited the wrecked steamer Hanoverian this morning reports that when the steamer was oil Cape Mutton, on the morning of Weduesday, and the captain saw the Button buoys, he thought himself around Cape Race aud took Cape Mutton for Cape Ballard.

Cape Mutton was passed at o'clock. The captain saw a fishing boat. but felt certain of his position aud anticipating no danger, did not question the crew of the boat as to his position. The weather was very foggy and the wind southeast. The passengers believed that the ship's course should now be altered and intimated the same to the third officer on deck.

Souudings were taken which showed eighteen fathoms. Almost immediately the deck passengers saw through the fog the white houses on Portugal Cove and called the officer's attention. The engines were quickly reversed, but it was too late and the vessel struck heavily, stranding 400 yards from shore. Boats were quickiy lowered and all necessary arrangements made to leave the ship. The passengers behaved with admirable coolness and all were safely landed, together with the mail.

Portugal Cove people saw the Hanoverian 4 mile on before she struck. Two prominent planters, with crews, launched their skiffs and went to the assistance of the steamer, but the captain repulsed them and called them sav ages and other coarse names. The hospitable fishermen of Portugal Cove sheltered all the passengers in their houses. Only a portion of the luggage was saved. The remainder, with a general cargo, was submerged.

The saloon tables are under water and the ship is totally wrecked. Captain Thompson and the first officer remained on the ship all night, awaiting the arrival of a steamer from St. Johns. The cause of the loss of the Hanoverian is Inexplicable, except through the action of strong currents setting northwesterly. The war-ship Tenedos has the passengers on board, lymg in Trepassey Bay.

A westerly gale prevails, which will terminate the Hanoverian's existence. Accidents to Coal Miners. Shenasdoah, Pa. Sept. 3.

fflE LOSSES IN OTHER CITIES An Immense Freight Depot and Warehouse at Cincinnati Burned With all Its Contents Business Men at Baltimore Burned Out. Albany, Sept. 3. -This afternoon at -40 o'clock tlw southern section or ttie city was visited by one of the most destructive fires that has occurred in that part rears. At that hour smoke was discovered issuing from the center of the block bounded by Alexander, South Pearl, Fourth avenue and Broad street, but it seems not to have attracted particular attention.

Five minutes later au employe in Einteracht hall went to the rear portion of the building and discovered it to be in flames. He thn gave the alarm. The flames spread through the frame sheds and dwellings which mainly composed the block with alarming rapidity and when the firemen arrived the entire block seemed to be enveloped, some of the dwelling igniting before the occupants had time to remove aBy of their effects. This was especially the case on Broad street, where the flames were fanned by a stiff wind. The department went manfully to worK, cut it was piain that the block, with the possible exceptions of Nos.

363, 3(53 and 367, South Pearl street, all of brick, were doomed to destruction and fears were entertained that tha flames would spread to the block on the lioriii. The lire was, however, confined to tua first block, which was entirely destroyed with the exception of the brick buildings. Tweutv structures were burned, besides EinU'racht hall. In the hall proper the Liederkranz dinging society had all iia musis and instruments, which are a total loss. About thirty families were burned out.

Their losses will range from $250 to $3, 000. Joseph Besler, the owner of Einteracht hall, taiiiks the fire was caused by children playing in the garret with matches. The total loss is put at 125, 600, partially insured. EXTENSIVE FREIGHT DEPOT BCRXED. Cincinnati, Sept 3.

the Chicago, Sept. 3. The Central Labor Union, the main directing body of the Socialists of Chicago, an organization which comprizes twelve trades unions and represents a Socialistic labor strength of from 5, 000 to 6, 000 men, has now assumed the offensive in the Socialistic war against trades assemblies. The avowed intention of the Socialistic leaders in this war is the crushing and dismemberment of the whole trades assem-' hly. The present move of the Socialists is to send around committees to all the meetings of trades unions, as well as to large shops and factories, wherever from fifty to a thousand hands are employed, and formally a-k the latter to come and join in their big demonstration on Sunday next at Market square and Ogden's Grove.

These comrnit-tsei report daily as to their success and from their reports it seems that they are fairly successful. Among those who have promised to attend ntrt Sunday's turnout are the Bnck-layers and Stone-cutters unions, two numerous and powerful bodies of men among the members of -which the Socialists are quite strong. By soliciting workers of 11 kinds to join in the Socialistic Sunday demonstration and obtaining their consent, toe Socialists hope to cripple the Trades As-' uiuiy picnic of the day following.

3. At Rock Springs, 250 miles west on the Union Pacific, are the largest coal mines on that road. The company recently replaced their white miners by Chinamen. Yesterday about 150 of the displaced whites armed themselves, marched to Chinatown and ordered occupants to leave. They obeyed at once and the miners poured volley after- volley into their ranks as they flod like sheep over the lulls toward Green River City, ten miles away.

The Chinese quarters were then set on fire and destroyed with their contents, including a number of sick and helpless Chinamen. The sheriff arrived with a large posse, but was too late to be of use, as the miners had disperse! after their murderous work. Over 500 Chinamen have been driven away and not one is left in town. Fourteen dead Chinese have thus far been discovered and as many more dead bodies are probably the ruins. Fit ty houses belonging to the railwaycoinpany and fifty 'more owned by Chinamen were burned.

The Chinamen are still in the hills west of tho town, without food and afraid to go to Green River City. Governor Warren is now at Rock Springs with General Superintendent Dickinson and Superintendent Wurbele, of the western division of the Union Pacific. No more disturbance is anticipated and food will be sent to the starving Chinamen in the hills by the authorities. Later The worst has evidently not been told regarding the anti-Chinese riots in the western part of Wyoming. According to advices from Evanstoii, where the second large coal mining camp of the Union Pacific road is located, the movement is a precon certed one.

It had been arranged that the fh-st attack upon the Chinese was to be made in Carbon, a mining town about 150 miles east of Rock Springs, to be followed by a like movement in tho latter place and at Evanston. The Rock Springs miners, however, took the initiative and the result there has been announced. The mob at that place locked the houses of the Chinese before setting fire to them. The outrages began in mine No. 6, where three Chinese miners were attacked and killed.

Then a riot began all over the town. The women joined in it with loaded shot-guns. Suierintendent Adams, of the mines, had been warned to leave town and he did so with alacrity, passing through here to-day, en route for Omaha. Nothing can be heard from Carbon, as the operator there is evidently afraid to send news for Evaston. The sheriff of "Uintah county telegraphed this evening to Governor Warren as lollows 'A large number of citizens, with myself, are satisfied that the outrages committed at Rock Spriugs will be repeated and are liable to break out at any time.

We need troops to protect the lives and property of our citizens. Governor Warren is at Green River, but he has telegraphed the commanding office at Fort Stiele and the troops have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to move at a moments notice. Divisions Among the Miners. PiTTSBURU, Sept. 3.

There is a division among the Monongahela valley coal mirers that will result disastrously to the Miners' Union or the Knights of Labor. The latter has ordered a strike on Saturday next for an advance to three cents per bushel and the ollieers of the Miners' Union are opposing it. If the men go out the convention of the Miners' association called for the 15th inst. to consider the advisability of making a uni form rate will not be held. Those who think they know the river miners say it is hardly probable that they will assume tho responsibility of a strike at this time, as, with divisions in their ranks, the prospects of success would be very small.

Druggist Amende to be Prosecuted. Hobokkn, N. J. Sept. 3.
