A British Bark Goes to Piece* ana Jivcry Soul on Board, Twenty-Four In All, Were Drowned—One Man of Another

Crew Drowned—Other Vessels Wrecked and Many Are Missing. UJLONDON, Dec. 31.—Severe weather

has prevailed throughout Great Britain since Saturday, the heavy gale being accompanied by hail and snow, rendering navigation along the coasts both difficult and dangerous. All vessels that could do so made for havens of shelter. Some of them, however, did not succeed in reaching port, but were wrecked when almost in sight of sai ety.

This was the case of the British bark Osseo, Captain Boggs, which sailed from Taltal Aug. 15 for Ardrossan. She made the long voyage safely until yesterday morning, when she was wrecked on the Hoiyhead breakwaters, and every soul on board of her, 24 in all, were drowned. The Osseo was caught in the gale in the Irish sea, and Captain Boggs evidently thought that he would run into Holyhead and wait for the storm to abate.

Shortly before half past 3 o'clock yesterday morning the keeper at the lighthouse at the seaward end of the long breakwater saw a bark come out oz the gloom with her lights burning brightly and under close storm canvass. The wind was blowing a lively gale and a teriffic sea was running before it. The bark, however, was making as good weather of it as was possible, and was apparently being handled in a most careful manner.

How the accident occurred is not exactly known, but it is surmised that an extraordinarily high sea lifted her when she was quite close to the breakwater and dashed her upon it. She struck amidships, and immediately began to brealc up, the sea pounding at her furiously the moment she became stationary.

The lighthouse keeper, as soon as he realized what had occurred, and the wreck occurred so quickly that some little time elapsed before he did realize that the baric was wrecked, lired a rocket to call the coast guardsmen and lifeboat men.

In the meantime the bark had broken into halves, the main mast going by the board. In its fall it struck several of the crew who were on the deck, killing them instantly. Others of the ferew had clambered into the fore and^mizzen rigging to escape being washed overboard by tfre huge combers that were making a clean breach over the wreck.

The coast guardsmen were the first to reach the scene of the disaster, and were followed soon after by the lifeboat men. Above the howling of the gale could be heard the cries of the men on the bark for assistance. The coastguards got a line aboard the wreck, and it was caught by one of the crew. Before he could make it fast, the fore and mizzen masts were whipped off close to the deck and everybody in their rigging fell with them into the sea and~\vere drowned.

The sailor who had caught the line was crushed to death under one of the falling masts. After the masts had gone £by the board, all was silence oil the wreck and those on the breakwater knew that all hands on the bark had perished. In a short time nothing was visible seaward but broken spars and a raffle of rigging attached to.: them. During the day nine bodies were recovered.

The identity of the bark was learned from some of her papers that were washed ashore. The Osseo was commanded by Captain R. Boggs. She was a steel vessel of 1,339 tons and was built in 1889 at Londonderry, from which port she hailed. Her dimensions were: Length, 245 feet 3 inches beam, 36 feet 9 inches, and depth of hold 21 feet 7 inches. B. H. McCorkle was her owner.

The Norwegian ship Frey, Captain Hansen, from Darien, while riding at anchor off Troon, was dismasted. Her crew were taken off in a lifeboat. The boat capsized and one man was drowned. The other 15 reached the shore safely. The Frey has since dragged her anchor and gone ashoro at Devil's dyke, four miles from Ayr.

The British bark Bonita, Captain Thomas, from Galveston, was run into off Falmouth yesterday morning, and damaged by the schooner Carrie Harvey.

A dispatch from Londonderry Says that nothing has been heard of rlie Mississippi and Dominion line steamer Sarnia, which lost her rudder at sea, and which, after being taken in tow by the Anchor line steamer Anchoria, was dropped about 180 miles west of Tory Island, owing to heavy weather, which made towing dangerous.

The Anchor line steamer Furneessia, from Glasgow for New York, which sailed from Moville yesterday morning, has orders to keep a sharp lookout for the Sarnia. Tugs are lying in Lough Foyle in readiness to proceed in search of her as soon as the weather permits.

Owing to the gale in the English channel, the Ostend mail steamer was onable to leave Dover yesterday. coasting schooner was dismasted

off Cromer. Four lifeboats started out to rescue her crew. The vessel had swung oil in tho trough of the sea, where she rolled fc jr rails under. This made it extremely dangerous for tlie lifeboats to approach her, and 12 hours elapsed before the crew were taken off and landed.

The storm inland has done some damage. Trains have been blocked by heavy snowdrifts, and in many places in Scotland the telegraph wires are down.

Extends Over Northern Germany. LONDON, Dec. 81.—A dispatch to The

Standard from Berlin says that gales, accompanied by snow, prevail in Northern Germany. An unusually high tide in the river Elbe flooded the low-lying parts of Cuxliaven and Hamburg. Two bodies have been washed ashore in the lower Elbe. Enormous damage has beon done along the North sea coasts.

X'. He Probably Guessed It.

"No, I don't want it cut, and I don't want it trimmed," snarled the shaggy haired young man, seating himself in the chair and glaring savagely at the barber, "and I'm not a football player nor a pianist, and I haven't taken any vow not to have it cut. Perhaps that will save you the trouble of asking questions. All I want is a shave." "Yes, sir."

The barber worked in silence for ten minutes. "I have a brother, he remarked at last, "that's got ahead shaped just like yours. He has to wear his hair the same way. "-—Chicago Tribune.

Toad Superstitions.

Superstitions as to toads having been early inculcated, it has been exceedingly difficult to got rid of them. One remnant of this ancient credulity still exists. It is in regard to the absolute imperishable character of the toad. There are well educated Americans who believe that a toad hops out alive from a slab of stone, though ho has been imprisoned there for several millions of years. Wo give in brief Dr. Buckland's experiments with toads in 1825. He took 12 toads and had the toads put in 12 cells cut in sandstone, and over these he put plates of glass. They w6re buried in a garden for over a year. Wheu exhumed, they were all dead. Then some were put in porous sandstone, and at the end of a year a few were found greatly emaciated. When buried tor another year, they all died. Toads were inclosed in wood, and they all died. The conclusion is that, deprived of atmosphere or without food, toads must die. If a toad as a tadpole could have entered a crevice in a rock, it might have grown, but would have, died: in time ior want of air aud^ foodi TlflV a I a Buppras] it never

THE DAILY EVENING REPUBLICAN AND

Didn't Slake a Sale.

A Lewiston family, which traces its ancestry back beyond the Revolution, owns an old coat which is supposed to have been worn by a major in the colonial army, and which is stained by his blood. This coat hangs in a showcase in the hall, among other curiosities, and the family have for 50 years pointed to the yellow stain with pride. Tho other day a peddler came to the door and was left standing in the hall to await the lady's pleasure in seeing him. He sold some kind of infallible soap to remove stains, and seeing the coat and its honored stain he thought to please the owner by removing the discolor. "You see, madam, that this soap is sure to remove stains of all kinds,'' ho said when she appeared, and ho pointed to the coat.

England arc a topic of common discussion. But while rural depopulation is very marked in this country the population of the oldest countries of Europe has undergone a similar change. In little Wales the movement was noted as aarly as 1851 and in England shortly after. During the last 20 years eight counties in England and three in Wales have lost 10 percent of their rural population. In the southwestern part of England the loss has been as high as 20 or even 80 per cent. In Scotland the highland region has suffered severely find the lowlands considerably. Ireland has undergone not only rural depopulation by removal from the country to the cities, but a continual loss by emigration. That the latter cause does not entirely account for the sparseness of the population of the agricultural districts is shown by the gain in inhabitants of Belfast and other cities.

While in many individual instances persons have been benefited by removal from country to city it is hardly probable that the movement, taken as a whole, has been advantageous. No man is more helpless in a great city than the agricultural laborer, and yet many "hired men" and small farmers, without capital or knowledge of any city occupation, do find their way into tho cities. Some of them live and dio there, eking out a miserable existence. Others return to tho country rich in nothing but experience. The man who is a valuable helper on a farm and has no trade should certainly be discouraged from removing to a city.

While tho cities havo rcccived a burden from tho rural districts in the shape of lazy, vicious persons and well meaning but mistaken men, it has also secured a blessing. Tho rccords of the cities tho world over show that tho farmers' sons have won a good share of the rewards of city life by becoming prominent in business and in tho professions. Tho life currents of tho cities are being constantly enriched by infusions of rural industry, energy and wise economy.—Rochester Herald.

tendency of these trees is to form a lower, more rounded head than does tho -. rock maple, yet, if limited for space, by,*'^ close planting or other means, they take a fine cylindrio form and grow to considerable height. The summer aspect of

These trees bear transplanting well, but to succeed in dry situations they: should be taken from good nursery stock grown in similar ground. This kind of maple is adapted by naturo to all low ground situations, henco for bordering lakelets, as no better choice of trees could be made, and in such locations their autumn coloring is simply gorgeous. Before leaving the maples should speak of the white or cut leaf maple, also called the "silver" and the "river" maple, not to recommend it as a street tree, but to guard against so- em lecting it for that purpose. Its recommendation is in its rapid growth. In the prairio states it is much planted for producing quick grown wind breaks & and for home supply of fuel, but as a mk shade or street tree it is decidedly in- -V E ferior. Unless headed in quito often it becomes ill shaped and straggling. It is often mutilated by ice and wind and at best is but a short lived tree.—Providence Journal. .,V
