When sighted the bargue was almost totally dismasted. Its foremast was gone by the deck, maintop gallant mast and rudder were carried away, and the vessel had twelve feet of water in its hold. A volunteer crew was mustered and one of the lifeboats was launched. After battling with the ele- . ments for nearly an hour the volunteers managed to reach the water-logged vessel and only with great difficulty took off the captain, eleven seamen, and tho stewardess and landed them safely on Ihe deck of the Oramore. It Avas dark at the time of the rescue and was blowing hard and the vessel was rolling and pitching heavily, which rendered it dangerous in going alongside. Controlled by the Adams. Ox and after Jan. 1, 1893, the Adams Express Company will occupy all tho lines contio’led by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, an addition of about seven thousand mles to the vast system on which the express business is conducted by the Adams company.

In the summer they are pretty effectually kept from get ing mu h of this traffic by the low rates made by lake. In the winter this business naturally gravitates toward the across lake lines, ow ng to their making rates two cents per 10‘i pounds less than by all rail. It is now intimated that the all-rail people will next winter be even more aggressive than they were last year, and make terms that will be sure to bring them business.
