rLYIIOUTH. 1 ' J: i . WILL HEbP REVENUES WHISKY SURPLUS BELIEVED TO BE EXHAUSTED. Wyominc Rustlers Are Active-EnC-lisb Tourists Treated Like Vau -Death of J. R. Irwin-Dcspcrudoea in Prison Cell. To Replenish the Treasury. Washington dispatch: It can be stated as a positive fact that there has as yet been no conference between treasury ofheials as to revenue recommendations to be submitted to the next Congress. In a general way they have discussed in a free and easv, casual manner the things that might be taxed to raise whatever additional revenue may be required, lne trouble is they do not know now nor have they any really intelligent idea what the deficit is going to be for some tinic to come. The new fiscal year is only six weeks old, and at least two months must pass before substantial data will be available on which to base estimates for the full vear. Customs receipts are increasing, and whisky men who visit the internal revenue bureau report that the tone of the whisky market is hardening, a circumstance convincing to experts that retail supplies are at last running low and that a heavy fall trade is assured. Well-Known Vessel Owner Expire.. J. II. Irwin, vessel-owner and agent off the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at 1 airport, died at his home in Famesville, Ohio. Apoplexy was the immediate cause of death. Mr. Irwin was a man o,f great stature, remarkable for his appearance but had suffered a general breaking down in health since January last. He was interested in tugs, shipchandlery, warehouses, and in fact everything m I airport, and the growth of the place as a lake port during the past ten years was largely due to his energy and enterprise. Thousand of Cattle Stolen. By the alteration of brands it has been discovered that thousands of head of cattle have been stolen in Wyoming and run north into Montana, where they have been sold. In some cases two-thirds of the herds have disappeared. Small owners are the worst sufferers, and some of them will have to go out of the business. Stealing amounting to $30,000 during the lat three months has already been made certain of, and the amount is expected to be greatly increased when all reports are in. An Unparalleled Criminal Record. Ruf us Buck, Sam Samson, Meoa Judy, Luckv Davis and Albert Stake were lodged in the United States jail at Fort Smith, Ark. All are young men who have in ten days made a criminal record for them-t-elves which is almost without parallel in the Indian Territory. They murdered John Garrett, a negro deputy marshal, alout ten days ago. They are charged with assaulting four women, robbing two stores and holding up three individuals. They robbed a stockman named Calahan and killed a negro boy who was with him. To.irlsts at Work on Chadron Streets. Edward Clegg, Coleman Nickolda and Henry Cartstensen, British bicycle tourists, were arrested at Chadron, Neb., for fast riding, and were fined $1 and costs, a total of $.".70 each. Although abundantly supplied with money they refused to pay their fines and were committed to hard work on the streets. They would not work, however, but instead sat down under a load of hay. They will claim the protection of the English Government. NEWS NUGGETS, A New Orleans linotypist' has established a new record by setting and correcting 81,041 ems of agate type in eight consecutive hours. Frank M. Fixley, the veteran editor of the San Francisco Argonaut, died Sunday night after a lingering illness. lie went to California forty years ago and was one of the most prominent men in the State. Alonzo J. "Whiteman, the Duluth banker who was recently sentenced to the California penitentiary for forgery, declares he has been sent to prison as the result of a conspiracy between his sister and her husband, a man named Gibbs. C. E. Walts, alias F. E. Wilson, the Pueblo, Colo., forger, gets five years in the penitentiary, his sentence on the four charges to which lie pleaded guilty being concurrent. Walts recently completed a term in the Kansas penitentiary for forgery. He has recently operated in Denver, Laramie and Pueblo. A San Francis) paper says the heirs .of Jose de Jesus Xoe will soon bring suit to recover a vast tract of land near Golden Gate Park, known as the San Miguel raucho. The property involved is estimated to be worth $24 K)O,0 ). The suit will be based on the alleged illegality of the transfer of the land by Xoe to William J. Horner in 1ST.'. Constantinople dispatch: The Vali of Salonica telegraphs that a Bulgarian band, numlxTing nlxiut l,tKH men, attacked the village of Janakli, in the district of Kirdjali, and burned LH.X) houses. The Bulgarians are also said to have killed twenty-live of the inhabitants of Janakli. The Vali of Adrianople has sent a similar dispatch, but thinks the accounts of the affair are probably exaggerated. Demetrius Kallias Bey and Iiis bride, who was Mrs. 1. T. Barnum, have arrived at Bridgeiort. Conn., accompanied by Fa u re Tmont, of the French Embassy. Mr. Kallias went to the Union Metallic Cartridge Company and placed a large order for ammunition for the Turkish Government. Acting under order of the Sultan, Mr. Kallias inspected the improved machinery used at the factory. Simon Wormser, head of the great New York banking firm, died intestate. The very lowest estimate places his estate at something less than $.'?,Om-M X). Miss Jennie Lewis, u domestic employed in the family of Bev. George Moar, of Oakland.

Mrs. Carrie Boub committed suicide at Cullman, Ala., by boiling a box of matches and drinking the decoction. Frank Patty has been arrested at Helena, Ark., for the murder of William McVkker, in St. Francis County, in 1884.

EASTERN. The will of the Duchess of Castellucia, Just filed in Xew York, contains this queer paragraph: "Having already given my husband, Edward L. Dwyer, at various times, money and other property, I hereby give to him the sum of $10, and no more." She left an estate worth $ol0,000. Early Friday morning fire started in the lumber piles of the Skillings, Whitney Jc Barnes Lumber Company at Ogdensburg, N. Y. At G o'clock the department from Trescott, Ont., arrived in response to an appeal for assistance, but from ten to twelve million feet of pine lumber was destroyed. It is valued at $500,000. Judge O'Brien, of the Supreme Court, at New York, appointed Courtlandt C. Clark receiver of the Lockwood Manufacturing Company, manu fact -irers of builders' hardware at South Xorwalk. Conn., In a suit brought by William P. Foss, for a dissolution of the corporation. The liabilities of the corporation amount to $2S0,000. Wilmington, Del., is fairly flooded with counterfeit silver dollars. About ten days ago one was presented at the Farmers' Bank by a dciositor and detected. Since then the barks have been on the lookout and dozens have been found and tu.'iicd down. They were presented by innocent depositors, who had accepted them in the course of business. The spurious coins are thicker than the genuine dollars, but of lighter weight. The composition of which they are made is soft and can be readily cut with a knife. A Washington dispatch says: The Philadelphia Lexow Committee has begun its work. Senator Quay has evidence in his possession strong enough to send to the penitentiary fifty of the men who are fighting him hardest in the Quaker City under the banner of reform The bulk of this evidence relates to frauds in connection with tiie construction of the new city building, which has already cost $120,000.000. and to the aqueduct and other contracts. It will show how contractors have been obliged for years to make out bills for double the amounts actually earned and pay over the stolen half to members of the ring now clamoring for reform. A telegram from Bailey's Island, Maine, announced Wednesday the sudden death of George Frederic Boot, whose home for many years had been at Hyde Park, 111., and who had composed the music for more than a score of the most popular wings that have ever been enshrined in the hearts of the American people. Iiis death is a tremendous blow to the musical circles of the entire country, but it is the whole people who will mourn his loss .is a national calamity. On the field of battle his war songs of "Just Before the Battle, Mother," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp!" "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!" and "Bally Bound the Flag, Boys," have nerved the weary feet of marching thousands and turned victory into defeat in many a hot charge. The report of the Fall Biver, Mass., mill returns for the July quarter shows it has been prosperous. Thirty coriorations representing $10,170,000 in capital paid regular dividends amounting to $oö3,47., an average of 1.87 per cent. The average for the April quarter was 1.72 per cent. The Border City mills paid an extra dividend of 10 per cent., $100.000. and the Sagamore mills an extra dividend of S per cent., 72,000. from the surplus funds. The Annawan Manufacturing Company, Barnaby Manufacturing Company, and Stevens Manufacturing Company passed their dividends. The Bourne mill paid dividends amounting to 4 per cent. The Troy paid (i per cent., the Union per cent., and ten corporations paid 1! per cent. each. Three persons were killed and two seriously injured in Philadelphia Friday morning. A wagon driven by William Hasson was struck by a Pennsylvania Bailway locomotive on the outskirts of the city at a grade crossing. The vehicle was smashed and Hasson was instantly killed. Edward Miskell and John Hasson, a younger brother of William, were seriously injured internally. They were taken to a hospital, where the physicans say their condition is critical. About the same time, in another section of the city, Martin Erviu, while crossing the tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Bailway, was struck by a locomotive and instantly killed. Willie II. Stanley, C years old, was ground to pieces under the wheels t a fast-flying trolley car near his home u West Philadelphia

WESTERN. William and Andrew Thatcher, father and son, the latter 17 years of ase, were arrested at Kansas City, Mo., for safe blowing. Thatcher, senior, is au old offender. John Sprackley. one of the best-known farmers in Washington County, Ohio, was struck by lightning while riding on a mowing machine. One of his horses was also killed. At Denver, Gustav Krause, an expert accountant, who has been examining the books of the City of Highlands, reiorted a deficiency of $7:i,000. Some of the' oUicials objected to his methods of figuring. Ex-Alderman Kooken referred slurringly to Krause's ancestry and Krause struck him. Krause was arrested for carrying a revolver. Vinton D. Pierce, who is believed to be one of the cleverest forgers in the country, was arrested at Tipton, Mo., at the instigation of a Chicago firm which he had almost victimized with a fraudulent issue of bonds. Pierce was endeavoring to escape from detectives he knew were on his tracks and went under the name of Charles T. Soli-man when apprehended. At Kansas City, Justice of the Peace Hawthorn, before whom Dan Lucas, the Main street barber, who took the lead in fighting the new law agaiiHSuiiday shaving, was tried, decided that the la"w is void, because it does not gie defendants the right of trial which is guaranteed by the constitution. It is likely that Sunday a large number of the shops will be again opened. Thomas Phelan, who at o.-e time was one of the leading attorneys of Albuquerque, X. M., has been held to the grand Jury on a charge of perjury. His arrest was made lqion complaint of his brother, James Phelan, of Fargo. S. I)., who alleges that he made oath that their father left no will, the oath being received before Thomas' appoint inept as administrator of the estate. . . , The three skeletons found west of Waukoiui.4. O. T., three weeks ago, have proved to be the remains of two Fowler boys and their brother-in-law, who were killed by the Indians in 1875. The remains were identified by an ankle brace which was found near the remains. Belatives ! of the Fowlers are wealthy residents of

Canton, Ohio, to whicn place the remains will be taken for burial. Within the next few days Chicago time warrants drawn in anticipation of the tax levy of 1803 will be placed on the financial market in Chicago and in Xew York. The first issue will be for $500,000 and is expected to sell at par. If the result is satisfactory and in conformity with the financial policy of the adminstration warrants to the amount of more than $2,000,000 will be advertised from time to time and sold to the highest bidder. At Lockport, 111., the postofiice, opera house, newspaper, jail, school house. K. P. Hall, and several residences were destroyed by fire Saturday. It was caused by a careless tinner upsetting his charcoal stove upon the roof of Mayor McDonald's building. Joliet and Chicago sent aid, which saved the town. The total loss was $'200,000; insurance light. Fire in the plant of the General Stamping Company at Xewark, X. J., Sunday, caused a loss of $530,000. Insurance, $200,000. Following is the ticket nominated by the Iowa Democratic convention at Marshalltown, Wednesday: Governor W. I. Babb, of Henry Lieutenant Governor S. L. Bestow, of Lucas Superintendent of Public Instruction.. L. B. Parshall, of Jackson Bailway Commissioner G. L. Jenkins, of Dubuque Judge of the Supreme Court T. G. Harper, of Des Moines The platform advocates license for the liquor trade, reform in State charities, and opposes free silver. The statute on which it was thought Taylor, the defaulting South Dakota Treasurer, would be sentenced for twenty years is found defective and two years will be the maximum. His bondsmen and himself turned over to the State Treasurer $100,000 in checks and drafts as agreed upon, and also a list of properties in which the defaulter held equities or owned prior to his skipping to South America. The value of the properties will be assessed by the State Board, and the amount agreed by them and the $100.000 will be credited to the deficit. The bondsmen will make up the balance. A boom in lake shipbuilding is on the cards for the coming fall and winter. Friday the Chicago Shipbuilding Company closed a contract with a Cleveland syndicate for the construction of a steel schooner of the 0,000-ton class. The new boat will be an exact duplicate rf the two steel schooners which will be built at the Calumet shipyards for the Minnesuta Steamship Company, the lake branch of the Great Minnesota Iron Company. The schooner will be feet keeel, lioo feet over all, 44 feet beam and HO feet depth of hold. Her cost will be about $175.000, and the new boat will be ready for business at the opening of navigation next spring. "There will be no whaleback nor straight-back, nor any other kind of back," Mr. Brown said, in speaking of the new boats, "but it will be a common everyday ship built on the old lines, after the models, with no newfangled ideas, except modern improvements in the way of towing engines, electric lights and that sort of 'thing. The channel construction will be followed, of course." With his body racked and torn, his breast bone broken in two places, eight ribs fractured, three of them in two places, his skin black and blue, a gash on his forehead and the cavities of his chest and abdomen filled with blood from internal hemorrhages. George Pucik, or Budiziek as he was entered on the books, died at the Dunning, Uli., insane asylum. Before reaching there he had been a pa-, tient in the Alexian Brothers' Hospital, was sent by the physicians there to the detention hospital for the insane, where he was taken into court and committed to Dunning. All this time, covering a period of four days, not a single physician at any of the institutions discovered his condition. When he was dead an examination of his body was made, and then the fearful bruises and broken bones were seen. Attendants George Goff and Anderson, of the Dunning asylum, after repeated denials, admitted to Supt. Morgan that they had beaten Pucik in order to control him. They are alleged to have said that they did it to save their own lives, the patient first attacking them. President Ilealy, of the County Board, will call the attention of the Grand Jury to the charge.

WASHINGTON. Statistics received at the Indian Hureau show that Ü0.0O0 Indians are now engaged in farming, stock-raising and other civilized pursuits. During the year they raised over l,o7o,H0 bushels of corn, and other grain .nd vegetables in proportion. They own lAXJ.UOO bead of cattle and 1,281,000 sheep. About 22.000 Indians voted at the last election. It is estimated that 30.000 out of the total Indian population of 247.(NM) are church members. Out of the H47JHJO, 1S0,(mj0 are self-supporting and 35,000 pay taxes. There has been received at the navy department a sample of steel, three-fourths of an inch in thickness, which had been pierced by a rille bullet of a caliber less than that of the present army rifle, or about .110. The sample is interesting in that it shows the torpedo-boats- may bo rendered useless by good shots from such ritles. The distance from which the steel sample was pierced was about two hundred feet. A torpedo-boat armor, her boiler and explosives, might easily be pierced at this distance, or before she could make hrr projectile dangerous to a ship. The bullet was of steel and pointed. It made a remarkably clean holo in the steel. Secretary Morton has issued a special order regulating the imimrtation of sheep and lambs from Canada for immediate slaughter. These will be admitted into the Fnited States hereafter when accompanied by certificates having the following new and more liberal provisions: "A certificate from the official veterinary inspector of the port of export or district in jvhich the animals were raised or fed, stating that no contagious disease aTocting sheep has existed there during the Inst three mouths. An affidavit from the owner or importer that such animals are from the district covered by the certificate: that they were not clsewliere during a ioriod of three months preceding shipment, and that when not driven they have been, shipped direct to the iort of import in clean or disinfected cars." The Xavy Department has determined to give the cruiser Atlanta a thorough overhauling next winter if Congress can be induced to appropriate the necessary funds. It will cost about $300,000 to do this, but if the plans in contemplation are carried out the old Atlanta will be practically a new ship when she emerges from the hands of the workmen. She will be given new boilers, perhaps some of them of the tubular type, new triple ex

pansion engines, and vtith twin screws instead of the single screw she now carries. The result will be to make the vessel a sixteen-knot ship where she is now capable of only thirteen, to increase her horse-power from 3,000 to 5,000, and in addition to increase her coal capacity by at least 100 tons. The changes will not stop here, however, for the present battery will give way to rapid-fire guns of the most modern type, making the Atlanta as good a fighting ship as any of her size in the navy. FOREIGN. Sixty lives are believed to have been lost by the sinking of the steamer Cat; terthun off Xew South Wales. Lord Baylei.'h and Professor ITilliam Ramsey, of London, have been awarded the $10,000 Hodgkms prize by the Smithsonian Institution awards committee for the best treatises on discoveries in air. Consul General Karel, at St. Petersburg, furnishes the State Department with a review of the crop prospects in Russia. The'report is that while in some regions there is a good crop, in others the outlook is very poor, owing to bad weather, late sowing and other conditions. Mr. Karel says that loth winter and spring wheat have suffered, as has also the rye

crop. Havana t'ispatch: Gen. Campos could only muster about six hundred men-on arriving at Bayamo out of the 1.500 that he claimed to have had at the fight at Peralejos. Geneal Garcia Xavarro, who went from Santiago to Mauzanillo with 1,500 men and joihed General La Chambre, returned a few days later minus 500 men, Most of them had died, of disease, principally of dysentery aiid yellow fever. It in understood that Gen. Campos has ca bled home advising the government to be prepared for important and unfavorable advices in the near future. General Salceda has been ordered back to Spain on "sick leave." But the real reason was his massacre of unarmed Cubans. Learning that sixteen young Cubans had left Santiago to jin the revolution, he had them intercepted and summarily shot. It is well-known also that he executed Cuban prisoners. IN GENERAL The United Typothetaeof America has elected E. B. Andrews, of Rochester, X. Y., president. President Cleveland has agreed to press the button which will start the machinery of the Atlanta exposition. The Dutch oil tank steamer La Campine, which arrived at Xew York from Antwerp, picked up two French fishermen adrift in their dory on the Banks on Aug. 4. When rescued the men were exhausted, having been adrift for fortysix hours without food or water. They lost sight of their vessel in a fog. B. G. Dun & Co. in their weekly review of trade say: Business continues unusually active for midsummer, and though there is perceptible relaxation there are no signs of reaction. The one change of great importance whicli the last week has brought is eminently helpful ilie amicable settlement between coal miners and employers in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. It is said that about 100.000 men will have their wages increased after Oct. 1 by this adjustment, and while the enlargement of purchasing power is of consequence it seems even more important that a chronic cause of controversy has been removed by the new agreement as to company stores. There is no important change in crop prospects and at this time no news is eminently' good news. The following is the standing of the clubs in the Xational Leaguer Per P. W. L. cent.

PHILADELPHIA FIRE.

FOUR HUNDRED THOUSANDS GO UP IN SMOKE. Congress May Ue Called by Cleveland -Some Astounding Revelations in the Cuban Revolution Ominous News for Spain. Fire in the Quaker City. A Philadelphia lire, which did damage amounting to between $350,000 and $400,000, started Monday morning in the live-story building occupied by Brown & Bailey as a paper-box manufactory, and before the flames had been got under control the big gasfiruure establishment of Buck & Co., adjoining and a dozen dwellings which surrounded the two factories were laid in ashes. The lire originated on the first floor of the building occupied by Brown & Bailey, at 412 Franklin street, at 8:30 o'clock, but it was nearly 0 o'clock before an engine had responded to the alarm. The delay proved disastrous, as the inflammable matter in the box factory was a mass of flames before the firemen arrived. The principal losers are Brown & Bailey ni.d Buck & Co. The former's loss will reach $150.000, with an insurance of $t00.0o0; Buck & Co.'s loss is between $100.000 and $125,000... with an insurance of between $75.000 and $80,000. Yoager & Bro.. coal dealers, place their loss at about $20.1 MX), while the loss on the burned dwellings will reach in the neighborhood of $50,000. Several firemen were injured, but none fatally. Campos Gives It Up. A Havana dispatch says: Campos has resigned the Captain Generalship of Cuba. It is generally believed that he stron;;ly urges the home Government to grant the Island of Cuba seif-governmem. As an outcome of his recent telegrams to Madrid the Ministers of War, State, Foreign Colonies, etc., have been holding long conferences, and although they could not make public the subject of their deliberations they have admitted that they will have some astounding revelations to make soon. Gen. Campos, while besieged in Bayamo, had such fears for his life that in order to disguise himself he had his long goatee shaved clean, hence his objection to showing himself in public. Mayari is said to have fallen into the hands of insurgents, and the Provisional Government of the Cuban republic is reported to have been established there. Santo Kspiritu and Trinidad, in Las Villas, are said to be in possession of the rebel forces. All telegrams from Madrid clearly show that not only the Government over there, but also the people, are greatly alarmed by the developments in Cuba, and that Gen. Campos' report to the Cortes must be unsatisfactory. Talk of an llxtra Session. Talk of an extra session of Congress is again heard upon the streets of Washington. Politicians who have heretofore contended strenuously against the idea are now beginning to admit that the Pres ident may issue a call if the withdrawal of gold from the treasury continues. Without the aid of the Belmont-Morgan-Bothscbild syndicate the onslaughts upon the reserve will, it is claimed, compel the President either to issue bonds or call Congress in extraordinary session. The vacancy upon the bench of the Supreme Court, whicli meets in October, is urged as another reason for an extra session of the Senate, as with the exception of Marshall no justice ever assumed his seat upon the bench until confirmed. Marshall Field's Men Are Put Out. At Denver, Colo.. Marshall Field tri"d to get possession of the dry goods store of A. Z. Solomon. The assignee representing local creditors and the First Xational Bank on a mortgage resisted the constable in the morning when the store was crowded. The police were summoned to guard the place. Kvery suspicous-look ing customer was ordered to get out forthwith. Finally the store closed and. a sign announced they were taking stock. Gully Rc-clcctcd. Mr. William C Gully, member of Parliament for Carlisle, was re-elected Speaker of the House of Commons without opposition. BREVITIES. The worst street car accident in 1 lie history of Indianapolis occurred Friday afternoon. There were im fatalities, but from twelve to twenty people were painfully injured. Harvey Merritt, recently pardoned out of the Georgia penitentiary, has entered suit for heavy damages an'iint the penitentiary company. Merritt recites a horrible story of inhuman and cruel treatment as the basis of his action. He was in for twelve years, but was pardoned after serving nine years because he wa no longer useful to the lessees. The favorable utterances of leading American papers regarding the annexation of Cuba to Mexico are attracting attention at the City of Mexico, and the newspapers are reproducing the sentiments of the American press. Annexation would be preferred by Spain to selling Cuba to the Fnitcd States, and the Mexicans would welcome Cubans to their union. Capt. Sproule, of the British steamship which lauded the survivors of the Prince Oscar disaster at Philadelphia, had another startling story to toll. It concerned 'We alleged murder of Capt. Peter Steger, of the American bark 1'dward Sk:nner, by four unknown seamen near a South American port. The supposed murderers escaped on a stolen vessel, and it is believed perished in a fire which destroyed tiie ship near Bio Janeiro. A terrific explosion occurred Monday afternoon at the Fmpson canning factory, at Iiougiuant, Colo., The injured are: John Baker, Albert Hanson. George Plair, Frank Printy. Herbert Vaughn. One of the steam vats used for Iniiling peas exploded while the factory was in full blast. Seven men escaped only by a miracle. At the war department the Bannock Indian scare is considered an episode of the past. General Vincent said Monday that nothing further was expected from General Coppinger until the final report va received. Iza Dooley shot her lover, James II. Doyle, and herself at Pueblo, Colo., because he refused to take her to Denver with him. J. S. Judge, a freight agent for the Union Pacific Bailroad Company at Sac ramento, committed suicide by hanging himself to a bedpost with a shawl strap.

TWO SHIPS GO DOWN.

The British steamer Capae, from Valparaiso, brought to Philadelphia Thursday night seventeen shipwrecked mariners and the news of a terrible disaster that occurred on July 13 a short distance south of the equator. The mariners ere the survivors of the crew of the British ship Prince Oscar, which was sunk after collision with an unknown vessel, which also went down, but with all hands on board. Six of the Prince Oscar's crew were drowned soon after they left the finking ship by the capsizing of the small boat into which they scrambled. From the size of the unknown vessel it is thought she carried a crew of at least twenty men. The seventeen survivors were huddled into one small boat, with neither food nor water, but wore fortunately picked up by the British tdiip Dharwar, from Melbourne. Australia, for London. From that ship they were transferred to the steamer Capac and, without money or clothing, they were landed. Captain Clipperton, the English consul, will care for them until they can be sent to their homes. Midnight Disaster. The disaster occurred shortly after midnight in latitude 0:30 south, longitude 2S:-0 west. The Prince Oscar, which was bound from Shields, which port she left May 27 for Iquique, laden with coal, was going at a clipping gait on the port tack before a brisk wind and with all canvas set. It is estimated by the crew that she was making about six and a half knots an hour when suddenly there loomed updirectly under her bows a four-masted vessel. The mate asserts that th stranger had no lights burning, and after she was sighted it was impossible to alter the course of the Prince Oscar. The iron hull of the latter struck th unknown full amidships, knocking her almost on her beam end and crashing, through the woodwork until her prow was more than half buried. The stranger went over almost on her beam ends as the Prince Oscar backed away from the rebound. As the crew of the Prince Oscar stood peering through the darkness thej' saw the stranger partly right herself and then she rapidly began to sink. They listened in v:'.in for some signs of life, but not a cry for help nor a word of command came from the stricken vessel. Thrc Hays of Hardship. Both boats hovered about the scene of the wreck until daylight came, when they herded they knew not where. Twentyfour hours later a heavy sea struck tho boat commanded by the mate and capsized it. The occupants, eight in number, were thrown into the sea. and tho already overcrowded craft which Captain Henderson commanded put quickly to the rescue. They were successful in getting four of them aboard. The rest were drowned. There were now seventeen men in the Email lifeboat, with nothing to eat, nothing to drink and barely room to stretch their weary limbs. The sun was broiling hot, and their hunger and thirst were almost unb arable. Toward evening of the second day one of the crew discovered a small cask of tish oil stowed away in the boat. This was dealt out to the survivors In small doses, and they used it to moisten their parched lips and tongues. SUPREME JUDGE DIES. Justice Howell B.
