A SECRET OF TUB OEA.

Thd Mystery of a Midwinter Wreck. ALL SAVED BUT THE WOMEN. niD THE COWARDS OlfLT PUSH OFT A3D LKAVC THEM TO DIB A CORRESPONDENT DESCRIBES AND ANALYZES AN UNEXPLAINED MTÜTERT. The St. Johns correspondent of the Chi cago Times, after an investigation, sums up the mystery connected with a midwinter shipwreck, heretofore reported. On Satur day, tbe 11th day ot January, 1873, the new brigantlne Mary E. Jones, George B. Swalne, captain, and Christian Nilaon, mate, sailed from Clyde Itlver, N. lor Boston, with a cargo or lumber and two passengers, tbe daughters of a Mr. Sutherland, oi Clyde River. The craft was new and staunch, and perfectly manned and equipped. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of Monday, the I3ih, the captain ana crew landed at Port Mouton, but the women were missing. They stated that at 8 P. M on tbe day tbey set sail tbe wind. strong when tbey left Clyde River, increased so that tbey had to take in sail. The vessel labored heavily, shipping much water and being badly iced up, though the pumps showed that she made but little water in tbe bold. At 5 o'clock on Sunday morning she was found to be settling forward and the pumps were set going. Despite this tbe water gained on them, and by 2 p. M. was Itbin two feet of tbe deck, tne weather moderating. The deck load now got iooe and was tbrown overboard. By 5 o clock the vessel was full, the water breaking tbe bars and I'urstiocr open tbe batches, and the lee rail being continually under. THE CAPTAIN'S DEPOSITION THEN GOES OFF. At C:30 p. M. blowing strong, with clear moonlight, all hands went to the cabin to get passengers and things on tbe poop, and while employed In getting ready they found the vessel suddenly going over; all hands rushed for the deck, the cMn bulkbead burst In and the cabin filling with water, it was with great difficulty that we got through the gangway, whlcb was under water before we all got out. Tbe captain and one of tbe crew got hold of one of the female passengers but were unable to get her out of the gangway, when ano fell from them and was washed to the leeward and sank, they being unable tn save ber; the other female pasener perished in tbe cabin. it being impossible to get ber out. : :nding it impossible to stay by tbe brigantlne, the crew took to tbe boat, whlcb was towing by the painter, and though ehe had been stove. managed to make her seaworthy. They lay by the wrack a short while, thm fearing they would perish of cold, rowed off and reached land at Port Mouton, one man lnsansibl, and all more or less frost-bitten. This was tbe s'ateinent of tbe cap.atn, mate, and one sailor, Tboinw E. Swalne, made on thei'.h of February, 1872, before Gabriel Robertson, N. 1. A day or two later the Mary E. Jones came ashore near Baccare Light, three miles wet of the port whence she had sailed, water-logged, ber deck-load gone.tbe upper part of the cabin washed away, and her mainmast gone. Sbe went to pieces on tbe beacb. Tbe father ot the two Sutherland girls was grief stricken when he heard of their loa, and stubbornly refused to believe that bis daughters had come to their death in the mannersfated by the crew. TIE EXAMINED THE WRECK, questioned tbe sailors, pounced upon every fact indicating a discrepancy In their stories with the eagerness of a doting father, and followed up tbe trail with the acuteness of a detective, btrlvlng at leant to fasten the charge of cowardly deaertlon npon the crew. From time to time he male puoliwhit he declared to be significant admissions or coniessloDS. Still tbe sworn story of tbe sailor bore all the marks of truthfulness, the officers retained tbe confidence of tbeir employer and were trusted with other vereis, the Rev. J. R. Borden and other local clergymen Touched for the excellent character of the men, and publlo opinion very generally exonerated them all and considered the accusations and suspicions of the father tbe mere coinage ot a grief-crazed brain. Fnally, so angry became the discussion of the subject, that tbe government appointed. a commissioner, Air. J ose pa now, to in vestigate tne matter thoroughly, lie gave oms time to tbe case, examining forty wit nww; tbe evidence he ednced and the facts deserving special comment I present here. grouped in tbe most natural and forcible manner: Serious and suggestive contrail tlons abound In tbe evidence. Thus, the cap tain states in one place that he has given up bis state room, which would easily accommodate them both, to tbe glrle; in another place, mac iu oeiore tne vessel roiled over, one of the girls was lvlnjf in the second mate's bcrtb. Through delicacy, probably, no questions were asked as to the relations exluting between tbe crew and the passengers a serious omission. Again it was sworn that tbe vessel bad gone OVER ON HER BEAM-ENDS, and her cargo had shifted. On this point the leev. Mr. Borden says that tbe vessel came ashore with ber cables still stowed on deck; the chains and anchors had not shifted, Dordidtbe whole cargo seem to bave been mlsplaeed, as of necessity It must have been If the vessel had keele i over till her spars dipped. Tbere was a loaded gun In the cabin and it was lound not on the starboard side, whlcb was said to be under water, but on the port side near the center, where it could not possibly bave been had the vessel gone over. This fact the captain admitted. Again tbe captain, mate and sailor swore In their original deposition that the water burst the cabin bulkhead and rnshed into the cabin. This was impossible, because tbere was no bulkhead at all to the cabin, it being constructed on the main deck, and it be meant the side of the gangway leading Into tbe cabin from the poop deck the evidence shows conclusively that it was not carried away. Again Capt. Swaine stated that a few mlnutea before the brigantlne went over be went into his stateroom, which was off the inalu cabin, and found three feet and half of water in it on tbe starboard side. 80 deep was it that he could not get his quadrant out of tbe locker beside his berth. Tbe water tbus was within two feet of the top of tbe cabin, bur, mystery of mysteries, it all stayed in the stateroom and declined to enter the cabin. Stensop, one ot tbe crew, swears that when he entered the cabin tbere was not sufficient water by seven or eight Inches to reach across tbe floor of tbe mate's atateroom to the door opening Into tbe cabin, and, as the mate's room was on the same side as tbe captain's and further forward, tbere must have been more water in the former than in the latter, because THE VESSEL WAS SETTLINO BT THE HEAD. Again the captain's statement shows that "all hands" were In the cabin when the alarm was given that the vessel was going over; that tbey rushed for tbe deck and some of them were met by tbe water coming in; that tbe water filled tbe cabin; that be waa floating about the cabin and bad tried to get one of the girls on deck; that one of them was drowned in the cabin and tbe other waa washed out of it and past him over the stern of the Teasel, throwing up ber arms twice and shrieking ss she sank. upon this it is to be remarked that It Is Inezplicablethat every man

of the crew, the

helmaman Included, should have been In the cabin at tbe precise moment when they expected the vessel to go over. Tbe evidence further establishes the tact that the captain was tbe first msn out of the cabin, and that the whole-story differs essentially from Capt. Swalne's version given on landing to Mr. J. D. Coffin, one ot tbe owners, and is contradicted by tbe statements of the crew on landing, and the admissions of William Qieenwood to Stenson. It one ot the girls bad been drowned in tbe cabin, the probabilities are a thousand to one that the body would have remained there as well as the two pieces of beef, and otber articles that were in it, but not washed out, Df ing found undisturbed by tbe fishermen who boarded the wreck after It came on shore. Summing up the evidence on this important point, It weuld seem likely that when the alarm was given the crew made

A PANIC-STRICKEN RUSH PuR THE DECK, tbe girls striving to get on deck with tbem, and probably seizing one of the men. To use Whitfield Greenwood's words, it was, "Every man for himself and God for us all." The men, Impeded by tbe girls, tbrew tbem back into the cabin, and got on deck as best they could, leaving the girls in tbe cabin without making any attempt to save them. Did one girl drown there like a rat in a trap, and was the otber at the same moment washed over tbe stern of tbe ship and carried down by the icy waves? Clearly so. Both of tbe women were tall, strong, daricg girls, born and bred on the shore of tbe saa, aware of its dangers and having full sell-poaseasion in time of peril. Just before the final catastrophe, the captain cried to one of thorn not to be afraid, and ehe answered laughingly that thy were "as good as a dozen frightened ones." Such women an these would make a desperate tight for lite. Tbe ship certainly took a heavy lurch to starboard, and scared tbe man, and some water not much, because it la in evidence that there was but little sea running at tbe time, the wind was not blowing more than a whole sail breeze, and the cabin door was well upon the port side entered the cabin and complete! the panic. THE GIRLS WERE THROWN BACK FROM THE DOOK till the cowardly sailors could make their escape. Foi if one girl was drowned in the cabin and one swept overboard how hap pens It that when the fishermen of Barring ton Bay boarded the wreck they found large portions of a woman's dress and undercloth ing wrapped around tbe forestay. Here, again, a reasonable theory is readily formed and in part borne out by the first story of tbe survivors on reaching land at Fort Mouton. As soon as the men got on deck tbey rushed forward to the boat at least the captain and two men did, and tbe captain was the first man in tbe boat. Tbey launched It and aubseoaently took off tbe rest of the crew. Tbe girls struggled out of tbe cabin, and the stronger or braver one ot them rushed forward and fiud Ing herself in tbe water caught and clung to the iorestay. The other apparently remained by tbe cabin on tbe port bide, which was out of water. Sickening as it In to come to tbe conclujlon, no othtr conclu sion is left but that tbe womeu were there. one clinging to the cabin, one in the rigging when the boat pushed off. To tbe eternal dUgrace of men claiming to be sailors, and British sailors, with wbom cool courage and chivalrous devotion to women, especially In time or danger, have always been repre sented as traditional, be It said that the wo men were, beyond tbe shadow of a doubt, alive when the boat pushed oil. Some time had elapsed, because the bo an was repaired and stayed by tbe wreck for some consider able interval, so tbat they must have been seen by tbe sailor?, especially as it was bright HOONUQHT AND MODERATE WEATHER. The boat was a new one and able to bold fifteen people at tbe least, so that there was room for six women Instead of two, and what injuries she received were not mate rial, since sbe landed her crew In B&fety. Tre only explanation possible is that tbe crew considered their own chances for life too few to lessen tbem by taking In two wo men, and believing that if they did take tbe girls tbey would of necessity perish of cold and exposure, thought it best tbe girls should die on tb vessel. Accordingly they pushed off and left the women on that Icy nlsht, in midwinter, to freeze to death, to be washed oil by the waves or, finally,, exhausted by terror and cold, to drop Into the merciless sea. There is yet another almost inexplicable circumstance to which I would allude. When tbe mate came aihore and was questioned with regard to tbe possibility of tbe bodies being found in the vessel, be said,: "There's no danger that she'll ever turn up again." This is accounted for by William Greenwood's evidence that tbere was a hole the width ot ber plank cut in the ahip'a port side, so as to sink her and prevent the wreck from injuring other vessels. Now this point commends itself strongly to Tbe Times correspondent, though the commissioner did not dwell on it. If the ship had to be abandoned in nuch baste, why was tbere time to cut a hole? If tbere was sufficient reason for preparing lor thecontlngency of abandonment in advance, why makH such a panio-stricken rush for the boat? Why were not preparations made tor leaving the vessel in an orderly manner? Besides, why cut the hole iu tbe port side when THE P0RT8IDB WAS CLEAN OCT OF WATER, and the vessel having gone onhef beam ends and the cargo shifted, could admit no wster? - Still again, two auger holes were found on tbe port side near tbe bow. These were explained on tbe hypothesis that they were bored to ascertain if tbe planklrg and sheathing were sound. Admitting this, it is almost impossible tbat the carpenter who bored them should forget to treenail them, and it is absurd to imagine tbat tbe only two auger holes bored for such a purpose should be bored in one plank within three inches of each otber, and in a mechanically straight line. Besides, they were bored, as tbe splinters show, from the inside. They, naturally, in conjunction with the ice formed round tbe bows, account for tbe brigantine's settling by the head, but why wore tbey bored? Clearly not to scuttle her, because tbe vessel was only Insured for half her value, and there was no insurance whatever on her cargo. Here, again, tbere Is a mysterious and unsatisfactory absence Of direct and reasonable motive. In common justice, Capt. Swalne'a statement ahould also be given. Ills record and bearing alike seem to forbid any suspicion of his guilt, or ot his knowledge ot anything Irregular. Tne report that a valise belonging to the Sutherland girls, containing goOO, was found cut open and rifled, he explains by saying tbat it was washed overboard and picked up by the boat after they had quitted the ship. One of tbe men, to' shelter his frost bitten feet, cut open one side of it; the other side wss cut open to see If tbere was any food in the valise. As to the presence of money, be considers the report absurd, because it the girls bad had that amount of money they would have gone to Boeton by land. A trunk that was found broken in and rifled, though exactly similar in appearance to that telooging to tbe Sutherland sisters, be says was the property of the steward. Borne ol the crew were brought beforethe magistrates for rifling these articles ot baggage, bat the complaint wai dismissed! Lord Houghton'a American experience would have been quite Incomplete without that dinner with Sam Ward at Welckei'f , in Washington,

The Cincinnati Enquirer of Saturday says: tils name this time is John A. Crosoman. lie has been blessed beyond the measure of ordinary mortals. Old England was the land of his birth, Canada was tbe country ot bis adoption, and our free repub lic opened its arms to receive him as he sroaaed the border.

Colonel G. C. Kay, a wellknown eitlen of the Kentucky blue-grass region, and the agent of a Cincinnati firm, waa called to Richmond. Indiana, on busi ness. Aa be passed through tbe streets one day bis attention was attracted by some remarkably fine specimens of art, hung at the entrance to a photograph gallery. Entering through curiosity he met John A. Crosftnan, the artist, who politely exhibited many other pictures as evidences of bis skill in bis profession. Colonel Kay had iu bia pock si a card picture 0! TWO BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIXLS, tbe children of bis widowed nlese. Mrs. Rich. Ibis picture was shown to Crossman, who expressed great admiration, and said that if Colonel Kay was not unwilling be Bbould like to take an enlarged copy and place it among his other specimens. If this were consented to he should also be pleased to t ike a picture of the colonel himself. To tLs. proposals there were no objections, and tbo pictures were accordingly taken. Tbey were executed in tbe best style of tbe art, and so pleased was colonel Kay that he proposed to Crewman tbat he come down Into tbe Bine Graes region fora little trip and see what he could do in tbe way of business. "Come down at our fair time." said the colonel. "Enter these two pictures for a premium, and very likely you may get some orders wblch will pay you lor your trouble, and which may biilld you up a custom from our sec tion. At any rate, it wont cost you any thing it you coiae;" by that meaning tbat Cros8uian should be his guest during tbe yM To this Crossman agreed, and In ac cordance with the arrangement tnadft his appearance at the Bourbon County Fair. Col. Ky was ai good as bis word, and took Cross man to his own house. In addition to the members of tbe colonel's own family, be tbere met Mrs. Rieb, tbe mother of ths little girls above spoken of. She naturally took some interest In the good-looking artist, who by bis Bklll bad FIXBD THE FEATURES OF HER PETS in enduring shapes. For three years she bad been a widow, and daring tbe en tire time bad refused to mingle in eoclety. This bad been a source of great regret to ber friends and relatives, who feared tbat she was bo indulging her grief for her lost husband that the effects might be prejudicial to ber health. They W5re, therefore, rather gratified when, under the influence of Crossman's winning way s, tbey saw her reserve melting, and that she showed a returning J Interest in her former associations and social tics. On one occasion, during the fair, Col onel Kay asked Crossinaa, In a Joking way, whether he was unmarried, say ing tbat if he was perhaps he might find some lilue Grass heiress to suit his mind. Crossnaan replied tbat be was not married, and was Introduced freely among tho belles ot that famous regton aa a bachelor. During bis entire visit Crossman ws treated with tbat Kentucky hospitality which has become proverbial. Tbe fair came to au end; Colonel Kay wont from home on a business trip: Croestusn remained tor a time, partly securing orders lor work, sod partly deepening the good Impression he bad made upon Mrs. Rich. During the summer or early In the fall be removed his business from Richmond, to Dayton, Ohio, where he bad a brother, E. A. Crossman, one year older than himself. While Colonel Kay was ab&ent on one of his trips, in Greeucastle, Indiana, we believe, he heard a rumor tbat John A. CROSSMAN HAD A WIFE LIVING IN CANADA. This aroused his suspicions, and led him to make inquiries wherever he went on his travels. lie learned of Crossman in many places, and alwajs to the effect that he was a married man. Taking tbe alarm ne wrote to his niece, telling ber what he had 1 rtalned through the rumors, and also wrote to Crossman a dismissal from his house. Mrs. Rich showed her uncle's letter to Crossman, who declared that tbe reports concerning him were false, and she was by this time so bound In the toils of love tbat she was. willing to believe tbe word of her lover against a mountain ot rumors. Col. Kay was cow thoroughly aroused to the danger of Lla relative, and having ascertained that Cressman married his first wife at Hamilton, Canada West, be wrote to the chiel of police of tbat city in order tbat be might bave evidence so convincing as to open Mrs. Rich's eyes to tbe true character of tbe one to wnom aba had given her second love. An answer reached him at Indianapolis aa follows: THE COBBBSPONDXNCE. "Chief of Pouca Office, "Hamilton, Ont., October 29, 1875. "ToCol.tJ.C. Kay: "Dear Sir: I received your letter this motnlug, and In reply would state that John A. Crossman Is married, and his wile and llltle daughter of seven years ol J are living in this city. He has had five children ty bis wife: four are dead. Ills wife Is a very re spectable woman and bears a good character. I saw bis wire to-day and got her marriage certificate. Inclosed you will find a copy of said certificate. From what I can learn of his wile this is tbe second time tbat he has tried to get married since he deserted her and his family.

Yours truly, M. Logan, Chief ot Police, 'Hamilton, Ont." By the same mail a1 so came a letter from Crossman's sister, telling, in WORDS OF SORROW RATHER THAN ANGER, of the shame he had brought upon his family: , "Hamilton, Ont., Oct. 29, 1875. Colonel Ü.C.

When shown tbe evidence of her newlymade husband's guilt the poor victim was well-nigh made insane. Her anguish could only find relief in repeated cries of "deceived, deceived."
