MANY OF THE CREW LOST Fifty Bodies Have Been Picked Up and the Fate of More Than One Hundred Others on Board Is Un- known—Ill Fated Vessel Carried Rich Cargo of Sealskins. Curlirg, ‘N. F., April 3.—Reports elved here state the steamer New- undland was lost off Cape Race and the greater part of her crew of 170 mnen perished. Noo word has been received of the sealer Southern' Cross, reported in trouble in the same vicinity, Res- cue ships have picked up fifty bodies ‘of the crew of the Newfoundland. Those who survived were able in their weakened condition to tell but Httle of the wreck and the probable fate of their fellows, Ships at once were dispatched in the hopa of find- other survivors or of recovering e bodies. . The suffering of those who died on {the Newfoundland were horrible. For forty-eight hours they were adrift on ice floes, while icy winds and spray 5wept over them. The Newfoundland had completed an unusually large catch in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Her holds were iflled with sealskins and her decks were piled high with trophies of the cruise. Load Adds to Peril. The steamer also carried a crew greater by one-third than she had signed for her former trips, as the sealing was reported to be unusually good and a large bonus had been of- fered by the owners. The unusual load added to the difficulty when the vessel encountered the storm and ice. The Newfoundland was reported oft the southern coast on Sunday and should have reached there last Tues- day. As near as can be learned she was ;rounding Cape Race when she ran Jinto an immense field of ‘irift ice from the Labrador coast ajd about ‘the same time a blizzard e tveloped the ship, cutting off observat.on. Shortly afterward the sealer was caught between two ice floes which crushe/rl her plates like cardboard. The crew had just time to .tumble over the side onto the slippery ice cakes when the steamer disappeared FEARED HE WAS GOING BLIND Probable Cause of Murder and Suicide at Philadelphia.

Nearly two blocks near the water|: front were destroyed. For a time the business section of the ¢ity was endangered, but the flames finally were checked by local firemen and a section of the Jackson- ville fire department. The fire originated in the kitchen of the Florida, a large wooden structure, and spread rapidly. Firemen first turned their attention to rescuing guests at the Florida, many of whom were carried down ladders. Guests Flee Into Streets. . Occupants of the other hotels were warned of their danger and many fled into the streets without any attempt to save their personal belongings. Two persons were injured. An un- identified woman sustained a dislocat- ed neck and probably was fatally hurt when she plunged from the third story of a residence. A. Libby, a guest at the Florida, broke a leg in leaping from the second floor of the hotel. He will recover. The Vedder House, a famous land- mark containing valuable curios col lected by the St. Augustine Historical society, was among the buildings de- stroyed. A company of militia guarded the burned section to prevent looting.
