From early this morning when the first dispatches began to come over the wires the Journal office was besieged with inquiries about the fate of the mammoth steamship.

Miss Esther Gracie Ogden, of 232 South Broad street, this city, sought to learn the fate of the Titanics passengers. Her cousin, Archibald Gracie, of Washington, was on the vessel returning from abroad, where he went five weeks ago for his health. Mr. Gracies wife spent the day in New York trying vainly to learn his fate. It is feared that he went down with the majority of the male passengers on the Titanic.
