~~ s 4 FO T PANG NG LINE Cry of “Man Overboard!” and the Sud-'|: den Stopping of Engines Cause Steer- age Passengers of the Graf Waldersee to Make Mad Rush for Upper Decks and Lifeboafs. The Hamburg-American steamer Graft Waldersee got into Hotoken to- @ay with a tale of a panic among the steerage passengers at sea on Tues- day last. An immigrant named Diesiary Bonla, thirty-four years old, committed pulcide by jumping overboard. He was seen by some other steerage passon- gers and they immediately made a great outcry, which sent the women and children running abont in wild excitement. It was with the greatest diffi- euity that they were calmed again | A heavy sea was running at the time, and although life-belts were thrown over nothing was seen again of Bonia. Chief Officer Carl Wreesman sald to-day that after the passenger had dumped overboard and efforts to rescue him had been fruitless, he had Made inquiries among the steerage passengers concerning the suicide, and }, some of them told him the man had declared his wife was in prison in Ham- burg for child murder, and that he was desperate. This story, however, ould not be confirmed by Mr Wreesman, RUSH FOR THE BOATS IN THE PANIC, On Tuesday afternoon about 4.90 o'clock Bonia and two or three other! men were walking on the port side amidship when Donia, without any) warning, sprang to the rail end, and climbing over It, Jeaped Unto the sea. Hig action was so quick and unexpected that his companions had no oppor- tunity to seize him. Immediately the cry of “Man overboard” was raised and this was followed by the signal to stop the engines, The sharp Single of the bell frightoned the steerage passengers below and all rushed on deck, fearing that some disaster had happened. Men, women and children made a wild rush for the lifeboats and the officers and crew hod the greatest difficulty in restraining them. Chief Officer Wreesman said that as many as sixty passengers crowded into one boat, and it was hard work to induce them to leave {t, as they appeared con- vinced the vessel was abvut to sink. Owing to the rush of the passengers it was some little time before a Doat could be lowered and sent to the ald of the man who had jumped over- board, In the mean time life preservers and light buoys had been thrown into the sea, but it was quite dark and nothing could be seen of Bonia. Mr. Wreesman and eight men finally got away from the ship in a life- doat and pulled around for fuily an hour, but thelr search was unavailing and they returned to the steamship, which had turned and cruised around the vicinity where ‘the man had leaped into the ocean, HEAVY SEA MENACES WOULD-BE RESCUERS. A high sea was running, and Officer Wreesman an¢é his men had a) « GiMficult time in getting aboard the ship. Three times the'r boat was nearly | ‘ swamped, but they at last were safely hauled aboard and the vessel pro- eseded on her voyage, further delay being considered useless. . Mr, Wreesman sald that as soon a6 the steerage passengers had quieted | % own’ he went among them ip the hope.of getting some information about the suicide. A few of the passengers, he said, claimed to havd known Bonta, and by these he was told of the story ‘of the man's wife, also of a rumor that the man himself was a murderer, and that elther remorse for his crime or fear of arrest when the ship reached port had caused him to commit suicide. The chief officer said, however, this rumor appeared in no way sub- stantiated. The Graf Waldersee is under command of Capt. A. Krech. The vessel sailed from Hamburg on Noy, 12.

God is with you.” . Besides the letters, a friend of the accused actress, signing himself “Unknown Friend,” sent her a big, basket of fruit, Another, signing him- self “Sympathizer.” sent her a large box of candy, These she distributed among the women prisoners who are In the Tombs with her, But a small package contaiming some Thanksgiving daintics sent to her by her invalid mother was her most cherished gift. While she had divided all the other delicacies sent in, she would not share the contents of this package with any one. She kept it in her cell and seemed to gain some sad pleasure in looking at it, SOME: FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS, There were three four-leaf clovers in letters opened by Mise Patterson this morning. One of them was in a beautiful glass case, framed in gold. | “Here is yoo. luck,” sho sald. “How good it makes me feel to think | that so many persons etill love and trust me.” One of the letters received by Miss Patterson was trom a theatrical | manager offeriug her an engagement if she 1s acquitted by the jury. Miss Patterson will not answer the letter, “I am not going to return to the stage,” she said. “I will go home to My parents and stay there.” Miss Patterson was the only one of the women prisoners who was not Gompelled to eat the prison fare, DISTRIBUTING HER GIFTS, As soon as Miss Pattorson left her cell in the morning the other ‘women surrounded her to receive a share of her gifts. When the distribu. tion was over she seated herself in a chair and tried to read a book. one NRE “re ee SISTER HIDES NAME OF WOMAN SUICIDE In Letter She Asks Undertaker, to Bury Her, Promising to Claim Body Later, When Pub- lic Interest Has Passed Away.

No public identification of the body of the young woman who killed herself | Monday night in the Gatlavan House, Drigge avenue and Broadway, Wil- jamaburg, has been made, but Frank Montenes, the undertaker, who has the | case In charge, believes a sister of the dead woman recognized the body at his | place yesterday This woman arrived in a cab, She | was well dressed ant haadsome.

Mr. Montenses will bury the body to-morrow in a plot he holds in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

Rev. John J.
