NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 5.
Another myster of the deep, prac
tically paralleling the unexplained
disappearance of the crew pf the
Schooner Marie- Celeste several years
ago, has been reported by the Brit
ish tank steamer Roumanian. On
January 19, churning along near the
Azores, she picked up the Norwegian
bark Remittent, seaworthy, provis
ioned and fully rigged, but without a
soul on board and with no' indication
of the crew's fate. The Roumanian
after towing the Remittent to within
100 miles of Cape Henry, lost her in
a violent gale.
The Marie Celeste was found at
sea with a pot boiling in her galley
and her captain's papers on the cabin
table and every indication that her
crew had been aboard within a few
hours of her discovery. But nothing
ever was heard of her skipper or
crew.
The story of the Remittent is
scarcely less strange.
The Roumanian sighted the Remit
tent in latitude 40 degrees 30 minutes
and longitude 27 degrees 30 minute3,
riding a heavy swell without, a hand
to guide her before the breeze. The
big tank steamer's lookout then re
ported her as a ship out of control
and Captain Claridge set out in pur
suit. While the Roumanian was coming

Portland to
Sandy
The county court Wednesday grant
ed the Multnomah Central Railroad
a franchise to build its tracks across
the county roads in the neighborhood
of Sandy. The railroad will be built
between Portland and Sandy. A mort
gage for $200,000 on property in this
county was recently given by the
company.
A petition for a steel bridge acrcss
the Clackamas River near its mouth
was presented to the court by Charles
W. Risley. The petition is signed by
more than 100 property owners. It
is further urged that a public high
way be opened between this city and
the proposed bridge so as to provide
a shorter route to Portland.
The court and several of those in
terested in the bridge, including
Charles W. Risley, H. K. Starkweath
er and John Risley, will have a con
ference early next week regarding the
proposition. A proposition to erect
a steel bridge near the mouth of ttie
Clackamas was made several years
ago, and has been urged at various
times since then.
The court authorized the surveying
of routes for several county roads
upon petition of property owners. The
bridge and approaches would cost
almost $100,000.
