Two Men and q Woman Lashed I'm a
schooner's Rigging All Night-Onc of
the Men Dead-Thrce Lives Lost.
terrible shipwreck, the consequence OF the late
severe gale, is reported from the north shore of
Long Island The schooner r. V. Trenier, COM
manded by Captain George Graves, bound from
Honduras to New York with q load OF cocoanuts,
went ashore in the darkness and storm OF Monday
night, of Eden's Neck, where, after terrible ex-
perience OF several hours, she filled and capsized
about six O'Clock on Tuesday morning.
There were eight persons in all on board, includ-
ing the Captains wife. Two colored men were
washed overheard and drowned during the night,
and one white man died while ashed in the main
rigging. After the schooner capsized two OF the
remaining sailors succeeded IN launching the yawi
boat, and were about working their way
TO the shore, when the mate jumped
after them and, reaching the boat sue
ceeded in escaping with them. Captain Graves
and his wife renamed by the craft, lashed
In the main rigging, with the angry seas breaking
over them constantly until they were finally taken
OF about ten O'Clock in the forenoon. That these
two. as well as the sailor who was in the rigging
with them did not perish from cold and exposure
max be considered as remarkable. This may be
explained, however, by the fact that they were
much more warmly clad. The body ofths man
whose name was ascertained to be White
was recovered on Tuesday afternoon. On We'd
nesday Coroner Baylis held an inquest, and
the Jury rendered verdict in accordance with
the facts. White was ScOtchman, ana shipped
in New Orleans. The bodies OF the two coored
men have not yet been recovered. Neither their
names nor those OF the rest OF the crew are known
Captain Graves lost all his shipping papers.
Whites body was buried at Lloyds Neck yester
day.
The schooner is still ashore. but she viii proba-
bly, soon be got of by the wreckers. unless an
other northeast storm should intervene, when she
will probably go to pieces.

What District Attorney Phelps Says.
District Attorney Phelps was approached late
yesterday afternoon and questioned regarding the
escape OF Sharkey. lie did not hesitate to say that
the escape Of this condemned murderer was
one OF the most high handed outrages
ever perpetrated upon long suffering
community. Instances or neglect OF duty, or
something much worse, in the matter OF the
custody OF criminals by the keepers OF the
Tornbs mad recently come to the notice OF
the authorities and sstounded them regarding
the means thrown in the way OF the former to
assist them In escaping, but Sharkeys walking
out In broad daylighL was rather more than could
ne patiently borne. Mr. Phelps would not admit
that some OF the keepers were in =
fair way OF being Indicted, but ntlmated
that there was doubt that the es-
cape OF shsrkey was due to aid which
he received from one or more inside the
the JAIL and that he would do everything possible
to silt the matter 10 the bottom. Should he fnd
any Official implicated In this outrage the citizcua
OF New York could be well assured that such indi-
vidual would receive a punishment equal 70 to the
enormty OF his crime. Tne District Attorney would

Hecor,ler Hacket,,s Opinio,

A HERALD reporter met Recorder Hackett In Mr.
Sparks once and asked his opinion OF sheriff
Brennan's action in the Tweed case. He said that
technically the Sheriff had no right whatever TO
Keep his prisoner out OF the county Jail, and also
tnat his action was wholly without precedent.

| folks came very soon, and at length Mamie
and Miliy were softly tucked in their trun-
! dle-bed and left to themselves There was
n great deal of whispering between the
two For some time, but pretty soon they
went fast asleep, and mamma and papa
found them lying with arms around each
other, when they also retired Next
| morning, bright and early, the children
| awoke, and Milly wanted 10 get up; but
Mamie was more inclined to another nap.
So Milly fretted because she didn't want
to get up alone, and Mamie began q cross
| answer, when all of sudden she said:
There, Milly, we forgot! Don't you
know And 10, the frowns disap-
peared and smiles came instead, as with
one accord both little girls sprang to the
floor.
There, I'm glad 1 didn't take another
nap" said Mamie, and then she sat down
to put on her stockings. Then she said,
1--WE were To-
"Oh, yesr' interrupted Milly, $50 we
wercr' And she sat down beside her sis
ter.
Let me put your stockings on for yOu,"
she said, and Mamie agreed, provided
Milly would allow her TO return the ser
vice.
Now, this was very unusual thing on
the part of these little sisters. am sorry
to say, that, although they were five years
old and knew better, yet hardly morning
passed but what they got angry with each
other for some tritling matter or petty
jealousy, which grieved their mother very
much. Something had happened to
the children this morning, mamma feared,
sas she heard no sound of cross voices
if"r the little room adjoining hers. So
she peeped through the keyhole, and there
they Were, like little white mice, so still
and quiet. N:Iiy was gravely putting on
Mamles stockings. and not a cross look
on either face!
Dear mer' Whispers mamma to papa,
''do look at the children!'
SO pretty soon the little oros entered
mammals room dressed as well as thew
could manage alone, and gave her a nth
the kind things these children did for
each other that day. Mamma was sur
prised to find that she had no occasion to
reprove them. All the day they played
happily together, or if one forgot and be-
gan cross word, the other would say the
mysterious words: Don't forget" and be-
hold the clouds would go away and the
sunshine come again.
When papa came home, and Mamie and
Milly climbed into his lap, he asked:
HAS mamma had birthday present
YETI"
Mamma looked up laughing, as she
said: 81 guess so, papa, for there have been
two little stlnbeams in the house all day
long. and l couldn't have received a
brighter gifr.
O! how clad the little sisters were as
papa folded them IN his arms and kissed
his little ..sunbeams. - Rural Neao Yorker.

A Novel Runaway Match.

A singular incident happened on the
L., G. 81 L. train the other day. An old
gentleman and his hopeful son of about
nineteen summers got on the cars at
Choppers Station, in company with two
blooming lasses. Their appearance and
actions excited some suspicious, and upon
inquiry it was ascertained that the two gen.
tieinen were runaway lovers and the two
ladies' cousins, who were going to become
or one flesh with the father and son re-
spectively. The father, discreet man
that he was, had chosen the elder of the
two maidens, who was about twenty. and
the son had taken the younger, a bloom
ing miss of eighteen. They accomplish
cd their journey IN safety, were married
in Jacksonville, and returned by Can't.
Clohessy's train again. 1t was quite
amusing to see them as they chuckled
over their success in outwitting the stern
parents of the girls-leaning across the
aisle to whisper to each other, and re-
Stunning their erect attitude to give an
affectionate squeeze to the fair ones by
their sides. We never before heard of
father and son running OIL on the same
train to get married, but presume it is
well to have that kind of confidence ex-
isting in the same family

the Supreme Court on the complaint of a
married woman The Republicuu says
"A few years ago Judge Balcom, acting
under this statute, at Il special term of the
Supreme Court in Tioga County, made II
decree in Il divorce suit that the husband
and wife should live separate for two
years, the wife TO have the custody of their
only child in the meantime. He advised
them to consider the matter as husband
and wife. He thought separation during
two years would satisfy the husband the
best thing he could do would be to treat
his wife kindly and properly, and not
cruelty and inhumanly. The report is
that before the end of the two years the
old love between this couple was revived
and they forgave each other, and are now
living together as happily and lovingly as
they did during their honeymoon. Judge
Balcom informs us, while practicing law
he obtained an absolute divorce for wife
from her husband; but that they remar
ried each other within ninety DAYS from
the time the wife obtained her divorce,
and thereafter lived happily as husband
and wife many years, until the wife died.
Also that the husband became his person

A Fortunate Blow.

AN engineer on the Detroit and Lansing
road named Frank Dolan, saved a mans
life Monday in a rather singular manner.
He was coming in on Il wet track with II
heavy train, and soon after leaving Howell
put on more steam to make up for lost
time. The train was running at the rate
of about twenty five miles an hour when
Dolan caught sight of man on the track,
about half a mile ahead. He was certain
that the man was deaf from the way he
walked, but he opened the whistle and
rang the bell. The man paid no attention
to the sounds, and Dolan whistlcd for
brakes. They did not take well, and, al
though the engine was reversed, IL was
plain that the pedestrian would be run
down unless something was done prompt
ly. Dolan ran forward over the engine
and down on the cowcatcher. by this
time the pedestrian was not three hundred
feet AWAY and was trying to walk one of
the rails, swaying this way and that, but
apparently not feeling the rumble of the
train, as il would naturally be expected he
would. Dolan, leaning forward, reached
a foot beyond the cow-catcher, and as the
train came close upon the mans heels
struck him in the back with both fists.
The victim was not on the rail at that
and he caught it with his feet as
he went over, so that he was whirled
around lengthwisc of the track and was
ut in the scalp by some portion of the
irst pair of trucks. He was laundering
N the ditch when the train stopped, and
when he had ascertained what the fuss
vas about he squared off and wanted to
whip somebody. He was so deaf that the
abroad employees had to scream in his
'ars to make themselves heard, and so
mad that he would not let them examine
lis wound or do anything for him. He
vas recognized rs farmer living near
plymouth, but would not even accept Il
