LONDON, March 30.—The' British steamer Holyrood, Captain Benton, from Portland, Maine, March 15, for London, has sunk after colliding on March 27 with the Leyland line steamer Bernard Hall, Ceptain Cassinto, from Liverpool, March for Barbadoes, Trinidad and Galveston, Texas. The crew of the Holyrood, num- boring twenty-eight men, boarded the | Bernard Hall, which has arrived at| Queenstown with her bows stove in. | The collision occurred at § o'clock in | the evening in a dense fog at a point west of Fastnet. Both vessels | were going slowly at the time. Captain | Benton and Captain Cassinto were on the bridges of their respective steamers and | & careful lookout was kept. The ap- | proaching vessels were not discovered until it was too late. The Bernard Hall struck the Holyrood amidships on the port side and ripped a great hole in the latter steamer, which extended into her engine rooms. Boats were quickly low- i from both vessels. The crew of the yrood scrambled out of their steamer, vhich sunk twenty minutes after being struck. | The Holyrood was owned by the Holy- rood Steamship Company, limited (Rae- burn & Ve Glasgow). She was of 1735 tons net register. ————— FISHING SCHOONER SINKS. Goes Down After a Collision and Three Men Perish. | PHILADELPHIA, March 30.—With the | greater part of her crew of eleven men | asleep in their bunks below deck, .the lit- | tie fishing schooner Edna Earl, bound for the sea, was run into and sunk in Dela- ware Bay, off Reedy Isiand, late las night, and three of her crew were drown- | ed. The drowned are William Smith and ! his father-in-law, Dennis Ford, both of Philadelphia, and Patrick Nolan of Balti- | more The vessel that sunk the fisherman was the Norwegian steamship Romsdal, from New Yo to Philadelphia in ballast, which rescued the surviving members of the crew and brought them to this city. To whom the responsibility for the col- lision is chargeable has not been deter- mined. Both Captain Hirsch of the Roms- | dal and Captain Kote of the schooner say that all their lights were burning and that they were completely within maritime reg- ulations The sieeping fishermen were awakened by the crash and rushed up the na:row | companionway. All but three of them managed to reach the deck, Nolan, Smith and Ford being caught by the rush of water and drowned like rats in a trap. | The little schooner was almost cut In half and sank in less than five minutes. | The survivors took to the rigging, and in & half hour were taken off in a small boat sent to theé rescue by Captain Hirsch, who immediately anchored his vessel after the collision. It took nearly a half hour for the Romsdal's crew to locate the wrecked sallors in the darkness. The Romsdal, be- yond the bending of a few plates, was not damaged The fishing schooner was owned by M. chuel Phowlett of Philadelphia, was of a.n)-mx tons register and was valued at SO0, MURDERER PATRICK MARRIES IN THE TOMBS Weds Mrs. Addie L. Francis Despite the Vigilance of Prison Officials. NEW YORK, March 3L—Albert T.

The fact that Commissioner of Correction Hynes had declared his oppo- sition to a marriage between the prisoner and the woman who has been so faithful to him during his long incarceration and | the exhausting tension of the long-drawn- out trial, made the Tombs officials more alert to prevent a marriage in the prison. The marriage is said to have been ac- complished, however, while the matron | was present. The latter, however, was so much preoccupied while attending to the | linen and her other duties that she was unaware what was going on —— Goes to Manage Western Union.

LONDON, March 3L—In a lener‘trom Athens, published this morning in the Times, the correspondent says there are many indications that grave trouble is coming in Macedonia and Albania. There is no doubt that M. Sarafoff, the chief of the Macedonian committee, has planned a general rising of the Christian popula- tions of European Turkey for the coming spring. In spite of his failure to secure any support at Athens or Beigrade for | his projects, M.

Still. owing to Russian machinations and the jealousies of the | powers, continues thé correspondent, | which prevent the execution of the re- | forms stipulated in the Berlin treaty, the outlook is disquieting.

The spread of alkal over the surface of the land has for a long time been a| menace to a large number of ranches and | orchards through Fresno, Central, Wash- ington and West Park colonies, southwest of this city. There has been no drainage of any kind for the frrigation water, and the seepage from the ditches, togeth- | er with the water spread over the ground in irrigating, has filled the ground with water and gradually washed the alkali to the surface. Slowly but surely this destroyer of the soil has been spreading, until at present it threatens some of the best farms in the | colonfes, In some of the lowest places. | in the colonies ranches have already been! ruined.

NEVADA CITY, March 30.—Emma Ne- vada, now a world-renowned prima donnd, arrived in her native county this after- noon after an absence of forty years. Such a reception as the Iittle diva was accorded would have done honor to a President. The depot here and that at Grass Valley were thronged with over 3000 | people from all parts of the county, all bustling with pride over the return of the singer who left hers.a mere child. Headed by the Nevada City Band, (he singer, in a handsomely decorated car- rlage, was driven to the National Hotel, where a reception was tendered her on the balcony. Thousands cheered and shook her hand. Emma Nevada left here in 1863 when only 6 years of age, but in the throng to- day were pioneer miners who had held her in their arms when she was a babe. Everybody in town and all the country over turned out. Miners, cowboys, In- dians and more conventional people were all shaken up together and shouted her welcome. Nevada is in the hands of the Native Daughters to-night. They _elaborately decorated her apartments at the hotel and the theater is also a bower of beauty. Visits were made to the old dwellings where the singer lived with her parents in the early '60's. Fifteen miles above here, at Alpha, stands the old house where she was born. It Is now occupied by Chinese miners. ‘Among the places visited to-night was a remodeled building which was the Bap- tist church, where Nevada made her debut at the age of 3 years, when she sang at a public concert here. The tiny singer was placed on a table in the center of the platform and with the national standard wrapepd around her she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner."” It was the fashion in those day8 to | throw money at the successful artists, and a rain of gold pieces rattled around the clever child, who enjoyed the fun of picking them up. When her hands couid hold no more she sat down on the stage and taking off her shoe, filled that, too. Thig concert took place while her father, Dr. Wixom, and she were resting for a accomplished nothing. It was not con- ducted on a large enough scale to be of ! any practical benefit, The matter was dropped for a weeks, but was finally taken up agafn by John 8.

By his-efforts and the assistance of the Fresno Cham- ber of Commerce Professor Elwood Mead of the Untversity of California, expert in charge of irrigation for the Department of Agriculture at Washington, was brought here to address the farmers and citizens on the question, Land-Owners Must Incorporate, Professor Mead spoke before a meeting | of the Fresno Lyceum, a local debating scclety, He did not seek to explain the system the Goverrment would adopt so much as he sought to emphasize the fact that the community must get together and co-operate with the Government—that the Government would not do it all, and that the work of organization must not be left to be performed by the engineers apd Government experts. At the conclusion of the meeting a sot of resolutions was adopted petitioning the Department of Agriculture to make this county its fleld of investigation on the subject of alkall drainage. But other forces had been at work in the meantime, and before the petition reached Washing- ton an exgert was chosen from there ta conduct the work here. The following ietter was recelved this week by City Engineer Tellman, who has conducted the experiments thus far, and is self-explan- atory: he principal rea- | son assigned for the failure was that no | study had been made of the soil strata. | ‘ew | Dore has | | one of the finest ranches in his part of | the county, but already the encroachment | of the alkali has injured a portion of it. | He commenced an active campaign to en- | ist the assistance of the Government in | erting that the subject of ' alkall dralnage whs one of vast impor-| few days prior to making a long and dan- gerous journey across country with an emigrant wagon train.

SALT LAKE, March 30.—A special _to the Herald from Rock Springs, Wye., states that further particulars have been recelved of yesterday’s battle on the range in the Upper Green River country Between cattlemen and sheepmen. It now appears that Abe and Roan Hill, sheepmen, were not killed, as was stated in the first reports, but were dangerously wounded and in a critical condition when the courier came out late last night. Eleven hundrgd of their sheep were clubbbed and shot to death. The Hill brothers shet, but did not kill, two cattle~ men whose names have not been learned Several sheepherders were severely beaten by the cattlemen. The cause of the trouble was a dispute between the cattle and sheep men over a division of the range. The cattle men have been fighting for years tp keep sheep out of the New Fork section of Uintah County. No sooner would they get rid of one band of sheep than another would appear. At lost dead lines were drawn about a certain district, waich tiey held | exclusively for cattle, and the sheep men | were warned to keep away or take the consequences. WASHINGTON, March 30.—Large crowds attended the Easter services at the churches to-day. The President attended seryices at the Grace Reformed Church and Mys. Roose- velt and her children went to St. John's Epis- copal Church. Hospifal Said Fatal Bright’s Dis=ase and Dia= betes Are Positively Curable. We last week recorded in these columns the recovery of a young man from Vallejo who was sent home from one of our leading city hospi- tals to die with Diabetes. We are this week privileged to announce a similar case. The name is Mr. Sidney Hoperoft. He'ls a | vocalist of rnote. He resides at 819 Hyde | street and is a member of St. Ignatius choir. | He shrinks from publicity, but we explained to him how difficult it is to convince people that Bright's Disease and Diabetes are really cura- ble, and he finally gave us permission to de- tail the facts, which are as follows: He had been suffering with Bright's Disease for nearly a year. Was finally sent to one of the large city hospitals. His condition grew gradually worse till a few months ago, when he was sent home to die. He continued to sink, was swollen with the dropsy, was nearly blind and almost in a state of coma, the con- dition finally being so serious that his sister was prepared by the physicians for the worst, and the last rites of the church were advised and were administered. It was at this critical moment his sister heard of the Fuiton Compound and put him on it. In a week there was hope. The second week the improvement continued and the sight was returning, and five weeks thereafter he called at qur office and reported in person, and he is now about almost dally and can be seen in evidence of the above, although it will be many months before he is perfectly well. We announce to the world that the Fulton Compounds are positively curing Bright's Dis- ease and Diabetes. The books say they are in- curable, but S7 per cent are positively curable. | Lesser hidney complaints offer but lttle re- sistance, Price, $1 for the Bright's Disease and $1 50 for the Diabetic Compound.
