Tho Gambior Pills and Goes Down In Seven Minutes. Terrible Scenes of Panto on Hoard tbe Ill-Fnt.d Vessel. 1st aiaocutto rnkss.1 Lokdom, Abg. 28. A despatch from Mel bourne states that a collision occurred at 1 o'clock this morning Insido port Philip Heads between tho steamors Gambler and Kasby. The Oamblcr was bound from Hydney, N. 8. W., for Slelbourno and was jnst clearing the Heads when sho met tho Kasby bound out. It was Imposslblo for tho vessels to clear each other, and tho Easby struck the Oambler amidships, crushing in her sldo to such an extent that when she backed away the water poured Into tho hold of tho Clam, bier In torrents. A scene of terrible confusion and rxcltc mont followed the shock of tho collision. Sfost of tho passengers wero In their berths asleep whon tho accident happened. suddenly awakened by tho shock and not knowing tho naturo of tho accident that had berallen them, they rushed pell mell on dock without waiting to dress. They rushed frantically for tho boats, but there was no time to cast loote their fasten ings and lower them away, for the steamer was settling so rapidly that to attempt thU means ot escape meant to go down with tbo ship. Tho greatest fear and panlo was exhibited by the steerage passengers who rushed hltner and thither with no Idea of saving themselves and so utterly without self control that all they could do was to wring their hands and cry for help. Tho officers did their utmost to calm tho terrified passongers, but tholr efforts wero to a great extent unavailing. The Kasby remained alongside the Oamblor and rescued many of tho latters passengers and crew. Notwithstanding her efforts the Oamblor rilled so rapidly that it was beyond human power to save everybody. Soven minutes after tho collision the Oam blcr gave a long forward lurch, then her bows roso high out of the water, then sottled back, and Blnklng stern first, sho disappeared from view, carrying with her five saloon passen gers, fifteen steerage passengers and six ot I tho crew. The boats from tbe Eatby remained for a long time lh the vicinity searching for possi ble survivors, but they found none. The Easby sustained considerable damage Her cutwater wo stove, her bows very badly damaged, and her bead gear was carried away. No explanation Is given for tbe collision. Tbe sea was calm and the night was clear, and It Is claimed by many persons that proper lookouts wero not kept on cither ot tho steamers. im m i STRUCK AGAINST NEW YORKERS.

Motiior, Two Children and Their Father Found Dead. Triple Harder and Snlclde In a Harlem Tenement-Honse. Painter Baiter Killed His Wife . and Little Ones, and Then Himself. Ho Was n Son of Wrecker Baxter Ills Letter. Harlem peoplo were horrified to-day by tho discovery ot a triple murder and suicide, on Uast Ono Hundred and Sixth Htreot. John Baxter, a painter, after murdering his wUn nnd two llttlo children, oommlted suicide. The tragedy becatno known at 10 o'clock Ibis morning. Mrs. Mary .Madden, housekeeper of tho flat houso :131 Kast One Hundred and Sixth street, reported to I'atrolman William Lawler at n.no that sho had heard nothing ot the family lit tug on the top floor of tho building Mncn daybreak, and she feared something had happened to them. Tho ofllcer lulled In an attempt to batter In the door, and ho effected aitcntranco to tho looms by way or tho fire-escape, climbing from thu third floor to tho wludons of tho Baxter flat. As he clambered In at tho front window a sight met his gain that rondo his blood run cold. Thero on tho floor lay husband nnd wile, slduby side, dead and weltering In thu blood that flowed from gaping wounds In their heads. Iho woman was fully dressed, hut tho man wns In his undershirt and trousers and his feet wore bare. Beside tho man lay a :i2-callbro American bulldog revolver, and a hasty examination revealed that four chambers wero empty Both bodies wsro cold. Life had been extinct a long time. Lawler stepped over tho bodies and Into the bedroom beyond. Ilrro upon a broad bed lay tho dead bodies ot two pretty children, each with n bullet wound In tho head. They wero Katlo and Johnny Baxter, avo and four years eld, ro spectlvely. They lay clasped In each other's arms. They wero both partially undressed, and they lay as If they had shrunk away from somo ap proaching danger and had clasped each, other for protection. The door was opened from within nnd tho neighbors soon thrcngod the four roams Unit bad Men the homo of John and Mary Baxter and their children. The apartments occupied by tho Baxters consist of lour rooms. Tho front room, where the bodies of tho husband nnd wife lay, was evidently used as a parlor and sitting room. It was plainly though comfortably fur nished, and tho floor was covered with a now lugraln carpet. A number of pictures, framed lithographs and photographs hung upon tho walH. A large-armed reading chair which stood near one of tho front v, ludows was overturned when tbo p.lbcman entered tho room, nnd thero were other eildonces In tho disordered condition of the room ofa struggle. It Is be lieved that the wife made a desperate light for her llfo when she llrst perceived her hus band's murderous doslgns. Baxter was thlrty-rlvo earsold. a pnlntcr by trade. Ho had been married reven years to Mary, his wife, and they soemid to live happily together, though an occasional quir rel bad occurred between them. l'rom tho location and character of tho wounds In tho woman's and tho children bodies II was plain that thu hand of tho hus band and father had dono thH terrible thing. Tho wife, who was twenty-eight yoars old, had undoubtedly been tho llrst victim. Sho lay prono on tho floor of the front room, or parlor, with a slnglo bullet wound In tho right tcmplo. A gaping wound was In tho forehead of llttlo Katie, end tho muilo of tho revolver had been held closo to tho right temple- of tho llttlo boy There wero two pistol wounds In tho head of John Baxter ono In tho middle of tbo fore head, the utber In tho left side ot tho head, just above tbo ear. After slaughtering his innocent children, Baxter had evidently returned 'o the parlor and then shot himself, so that his body fell beside that of his murdered lte. All douut about who used tho pistol was dispelled by a letter, written by Baxter and addressed to his mother, Wldon Mary Baxter, ot 607 Kast Ono Hundred and Kurty-tir.il stroet. In this letter Baxter announced that ho wns about to kill his family and himself. It was found on a stand lu tho front ruom of Iho four-room riat, nnd was taken in chargo by Coroner !.cy. No reason was glenlortho tcrrlblnrtecd, and the most plausible reasjn adtuncei! Is that tho painter was Insane. Tlili Is the letter : ai'hitS7. Hear Mother: I wrllo to tell you thai I mn tired ot ming. Dear mother, dun t worry about me, to? my llfo U uo ue to mo now. " Dear mother, you ml'lit think that I am gone in 'he head, but I am not. Tuo bullots ulUllx mo now. Oood-by, dear mother, my llf lipmu. (lood-by, all. I tf II you what I would do. Dear Mary, my UIo Is lo now. Two shuts r.

Among other things fotii.il In tho room was a pocket note-book bUnnglng to Baxter, which comulnid, bealdcs tu lu money, a tlmo check card of Charles H. Newman, of 00 est One Hundred and Tuonty-nflli slrrct, his empluj er, giving hlra credit fora considerable amount ot work. Tho shots wero probably all of them In stantly fatal. Tbe bullet In each Instance crashed Into tbe brain of tho Mctlm. Tboio had apparently been no struggle and no outcry, so tar las' could be learned among ESOP ON CURRENT EVENTS. XLIII. An Ass, who was carrying good provisions, stopped by tho way side to nibble a thistle, and, whilo doing so, talked thus to himself: " How many greedy epicures would be happy with such viands as I now carry I But to me this bitter, prickly thistlo is more savory and relishing than the most exquisite and sumptuous banquet." Every ono to his taste ; one man's meat is another man's poison. What is rejected by ono person may bo valued very highly by another. the other tenants ot tho flats, but several pnuple lu the building recalled having heard houihH like pistol bhots bolnecu U.UOnndltl o'clock last ulght, though at the tlmo no uuo attached any lmportanco to the sounds. KUso filler, u twolvo-yoar-old girl, living with her paronts, sajs sho hoard shots after sho went to bed. Mr. Miller, who lives across tho hall on tho same floor with tho Baxters, said: "Wo had nil gono to bed, when, about 10 o'clock last night, I heard sounds Ilka pistol shots. Thare woro two ot them, and I spoko to my husband. Ho said he thought It was nothing. A llttlo after that we both heard two shots, and my husband said It was proba bly done by boys In tho street. "We thought no moro about It till this morning about H.UO, nhun Mrs. Langdou, who lives on tho floor below, came up to borrow somo kindling of Mrs. Baxter. "Hue knocked at Mr. Baxtor's door, but no ono answering shocamo to my door. I had not soon nor heard tho Baxters, and wo listened at their duur, but heard nothing. "'Ihouwo went to tho housokoepcr. Wo tried to break In the door, fur Air. Langdon remembered hearing shots at 11.40 o'clock lust ulght. Then .Mrs. .Madden callod In tho po liceman, who climbed up the llrc-oscnpo Into the front window. Ho opened tbo door and wo found tho whole family murderud." " When 1 found them," said l'olloeman Lawler, " tho man und the woman lay Bide by side on tha floor In thu front room, blood all around them und tho pistol besldo thu man on tho floor. "Tho to children were on tho brood bed In tbo back room, and looked as If they had been shot whilo asleep. They h.id their arms about each other, as It thoy lad gono to sleep In lot lug embrace." Tbo muiderer nnd hUlclde, John llaxtor, was son of 'Ihdm.ii Baxter, an old Hellgato wrecker, who tor years before his death had a boat-houso at tho foot of Eighty-sixth street lu Kast lllver. When Coroner Levy camo with Dr. Jenkins, bis deputy, nbout 1 o'clock an examination was made or I lie bodies. This showed that flvo shots at least had txen llrcd. Mrs. Miller riald sho thought hho had heard beven, but no other bullet marks wero found lu any of the rooms. only four of tho flvu cartridges In tho re volver, which was found at Iho dead man's side, had Urn ulschaiged, which seemed to show conclustrrly that alter Baxter had killed his wife ho d( llbcrately reloaded lha weapon before proceeding to the slaughter (if his Innocent children nnd then ending his own life. Mrs. Madden, th' housekeeper, said that Baxtei and his family had lived lu their pres ent homo for five j cars. Baxter was an Englishman and always seemid much attached to his wlfo and little oms. He was sober and Industrious, and was neer known to drink to excess. Iteci'iitly ho has tn-en working for Charles 11.

After tho lssuanco by tho Coney Island Jockey Club ot their programme of the prob ablo starters for to-morrow's Futurity Stakes It was seon by Ed corngan that tho name ot his fleet two-yoar-old colt Huron was omitted from tho list ot contestants, on tho claim that Huron had been declared out by John C Cor ter, tho Hccretory of (len. Jackson, of Ilelle Moade Stud Farm, from whom the colt had beon purchased. The stako Is worth many thousands ot dollars. Mr. Corrlgan Immediately telegraphed llowo Hummel to lnstltuto legal proceed ings to compel the Jockey Club to accept Huron's entry. Tho lawyers at once applied to tbo Hupertor Court for an order compelling the Oonoy Island Jockey Club to show cause why they should not permit tbe horso to run in th stake. Judgo David McAdam Issued tbe ordor and the matter was nrgucd this afternoon. J. Hargent Cram appeared for tho coney Island Jockey Hub.

Judgo MoAdain, beforo reserving his deci sion, mado tbo following proposition, which Mr. cram rejected : That the horse bo allowed to run In ordor that tho status of tho owner may be ascer tained. Tho dofendant may then determine which horso rightfully entered tho race and won tho stakes, and pay them over according to Its decision, being answerable to the plain tiff In a propor action for any wrong done to lus legal rights In tbo premises.
