to the vessel by the mate, and told to
launch she other boat By this time the
vessel was rapidly sinking, and the wat
er was covering the hurricane deck. It
was found impossible to cut the other
boat loose. and one Of the crew realizing
this, jumped into the small boat, which
immediately pushed off. The remainder
of those Oh board were thus left with
death staring them in the face. The old
father of the captain, man 70 years Of
age, who had been creeping along on
deck toward the receding boat, was
caught by wave, and dashed between
the bulwarks and hawser- box, and it is
supposed that he was killed. The wife
of the captain who had been left on deck
Witnessed the departure Of the small
boat, and at the time was endeavoring to
reach it. The second engineer, who
had been one of those ordered on deck
by the mate, assisted the lady, and was
seen endeavoring to lash her to q portion
of the wreck. The steward also remain
ed, and stood by the side of his wife,
who had been unwell for some time East.
This lady was heard to exclaila <'Oh ny,''
as the vessel was seen to sink, which was
the only exclamation heard from those Oh
deck. The small boat stood off con-
siderable distance, and within three
minutes after she had pushed off, the
propeller began to settle, stern first,

AND THEN WENT DOWN,


The settling of the vessel caused no
unusal connection of the water, and
immeditely after she had gone from
view, those who had been left on the
vessel were seen to be struggling in the
waves. Young Crossthwaite, who had
dashed himself to the hurricane deck
could be seen plainly, as could also the
wife of the captain, who was lashed to a
engineer. Beyond these none could be
seen, and it is presumed that the others
sank at once. Immediately after the
sinking of the vessel, and when it was
seen that the wife of the captain was
still afioat, the latter person ordered
those in the boat to pull toward her, but
after struggling against the wind for a
quarter of an hour, the boat was allowed
TO drift with the wind, and the lady was
left to her fate.
The survivors followed in the course
of the storm during that day and the
oars. The trip was perilous one, but
by keeping directly after the wind, they
succeeded in keeping the boat afoat
During Friday they were passed by the
schooner Emma A. Mayes, within dis
lance of half mile. They hailed her
but she did not lay to to render any as
sistanee. The action of the captain is
unaccountable. The small boat was
picked up by the schooner Addie, while
off Manitowoc, where the survivors were
taken, and from whence they returned
to the city.
THE MENDOZA
was Is years of age, and was owned by
William Crossthwaite, of Buffalo She
was valued at about $50, 900, and had on
a large cargo of coal. 1t is claimed that
the vessel was unseaworthy, and that
the present disaster WAS to be looked for
at any time. The cargo was insured, but
the vessel was not
So far, nothing has been learned of
the barge Evening Star which was cast
adrift by the Mendoza, and it is thought
that she is lost. During the storm, the
vessel lost her deck load of wood, and it
is thought that she waterlogged, and as
foundered. The barge had on board
and the captains wife. The barge
Morning Star, which arrived here yester-
day morning, encountered rough wealth
er, from the time they were set adrift
until they arrived at Manitowoc, and it
was feared at several times t.Iat they
would not make shore.
From all the information received,
with the exception of that contained in
the statement prepared by ere of the
crew with the consent of the captain, it
appears that the officers of the MENDOZA

MIR. GEo. CHAMBERLAIN, Esq, the
inventor of the celebrated Chamberlain
Stump Fuller, which has taken the place
of all similar Inventions in this and the
adjoining counties in extracting large
stumps, called at our office this morning.
He seems very much pleased with the
success his machines have met with
through the State, and gives Mr.. Day,
his general agent, great credit for his
untiring energy and perseverance in in
PRODUCING them, and places the utmost
confidence in his business capacity.
He thinks since Dave has gone into
company with Mr.. Bibinger, they will
make one of the strongest teams out,
and a horse to spare. He hopes the
farming community will continue to give
them a liberal patronage in the future.
He says he will vouch for their dealing
squarely with all who may purchase any
of his machines of them.

could ask for, and being fresh from the

the prices will be made satisfactory.

Sinking Of the Propeller Mendoza and
the Death Of Thirteen Persons.
Arrival of the Survivors at this Port

At1bout o'clock last Saturday even
ing the schooner Addie, of Benton Har
Dor, entered this port having on board
the Captain and seven of the crew of tie
propeller Mendoza, which sprung leak
and went down in the terrible storm of
last Thursday night off Big Point Sauble
on the east shore. The following is
statement Of one of the crew, given to a
reporter of the Chicago Times
The propeller left Buffalo for this port

west which gradually increased to gale,
causing heavy sea. They passed Point
Betsey Mt 1915, and when about eight
miles off Big Point Sauble, at 1 o'clock
Friday morning, the vessel began to
fill, and
ALL HANDS WERE ORDERED TO THE PUSIPS,
five of which were kept in operation,
and one of which was operated by steam.
The storm continued to increase in vio-
lence, and the waves broke over the
vessel in q terrible manner. One of
Ghese struck the vessel with such force
as to cause her to careen badly, and
break one of her arches. In the mean
time the water began to increase in the
hold, and the vessel began to labor heav-
lily. At about 2 O'Clock the tow-line of
the Morning Star parted, and The barge
which had been sent adrift YVES soon lost
to sight in the darkness. The propeller
was observed to move through the water
somewhat easier and more rapidly after
this, but as it was found that the water
IN the hold continued to gain on them,
the course of the vessel was changed,
and she headed to the east shore. Up
to this time the water had been held
somewhat in check, and hopes were en-
tertained that the vessel could be kept
afioat until they reached the shore. The
leak appeared to increase, however, and
after this the water began to gain rapidly.
The men at the pumps continued to

was feared that they could not reach
shore, and the tow-line of the Evening
Star WAS accordingly thrown off, and the
barge sent adrift. At $50 O'Clock, just
as day was breaking, the water had
reached into the engine-room, and the
engineer and fireman were compelled to
go on deck 1t was then concluded to
take the boats, and the small boat was
lowered, into which the captain sprang,
followed by his son, the first mate, and
some of the crew. The captain fell into
the water and was jammed between the
arch and the boat He was Immediately
rescued by some of the crew, however,
and lifted into the boat. VIM. Cross
thwate, a son of the owner of the propel-
lei, also jumped into the boat, but was
thrown into the water. He succeeded
in getting on deck, over the propeller's
side, and Immediately lashed himself to
the hurricane deck.

NEW YORK. November l2--Ihls
morning the ministers held meeting,
and spent Ill hour in prayer for Gods
blessing and aid. There were over one
hundred clergymen present. They then
entered the tabernacle, and Mr.. Moody.

n few moments silent prayer. After
prayer the doors opened, and the build
ing was filed to its utmost capacity.
Lord, | hear of showers of blessings,
WAS then sung. Mr.. Moody read Por-
tion of the 9Th chapter OF Daniel, and
said he hoped God would come SO near'
that they would indeed have very little
to say.
4 gentleman in the gallery with
very loud voice prayed, making the
Tabernacle echo, and wncn he closed
Mr.. Moody, in sorrowtui tones, said, now
let us have a few moments IN silent
PRAYER, and thus get back unto ourselves;
that is what we want. Three minutes
thus passed when Mr.. Sankcy offered

with tears streaming down his cheeks,
that God would bless him and give him
more of His spirit of grace; that they
should bow as sinners, At the close oi
this prayer the congregation WAS dis
missed, the ladies remaining tor the
womcn's meeting. A physician sent a

LOUISVILLE, November l2.-Hon. d.
Il. EmmOns, Circuit Judge OF the L. 5.
Court, to-day delivered his charge to the
jury in the cases of Bill Smoot, George
Mettert, George Hall and John oran, on
trial to answer indictments for conspira-
cy against the government in resisting a
procese IN the hands of acting sheriff,
Willis Russell, of Owen county. The
charge is very lengthy and embraces u
review of all the outrages committed IN
Owen county in the last several years by
Ku klux. Judge EmmoRs severely crit
icises and condemns the doings of des-
peradoes, and sees no avenue through
which averdict other than guilty can
be rendered He refers in severe
terms to the lawlessness that formerly
existed in some sections, Crltlclslng the
conduct of country attorneys and magls-
trates, and recommending that measures
be taken and alway he ready TO suppress
lawlessness and conspiracy, which he
considers the most disgracetnl Of all the
crimes against the government. ncon-
clusion he charges that if the jury
shall find that Smcot Oman
and MOfiert had common
purpose in their acts, they were guilty of
of couspiring, and should be found guilty;
if they had no common purpose in their
deeds, acquittal. The trial has been in
progress three week. These parties are
worst and last Of the desporadoeS who
disgraced their country by committing

and with the people of, Greenbrier and of
the Third District. They have
never been represented in Con-
gressional Convention held for
the Second District; and we are IN
formed, as matter of fact, that Mr..
HEREFORD, candidate for Congress in
the Third District, received more votes
IN Pocahontas county, last Fall, than did
Mr.. FAULKNER, the rightful candidate,
in the Second-so certain were the people
there that they should, if they did not,
belong to the Third District. Both
Pocahontas and Webster counties
are connected with portions OF the
Third District, in tho selection OF Sens-
tors and Judges-PocahentaS beng IN
the same Senatorial District with Green
brier, Monroe, Mercer, &C, and Webster
with Kauawna and adjacent countess
while both are in the same judicial p'''
,rict with Greenbrier and Monroe. by
plancing at the map of West Virginia,
it will be readily seen that these two
counties properly belong, geographically
TO The Third District, and that 1t was
doing violence to their interests and con-
venience to place them where they are.
As to Braxton county, the intercourse
of her people is mainly with those of the
First District. Their goods and merchan-
disc is waguned to and from the Balu'
more and Ohio railroad. their mails are
received from this direction, and more
people of that county read the Wheeling
REGISTER than all other papers com
bined. Braxton was, until recently, and
naturally so, associated with counties OF
the First Congressional District, for both
Senatorial and Judicial purposes. Her
people have more intercourse with the
people of Lewis, G.lmer, and other
counties OF this District, than with the
people ofany section of their own Dis.
trict.
Politically, the transfers mentioned
sboye, would have no effect upon the
status of either the Second or Third Dis
trict and none on the First except, posi-
bly,, to make it little more Democratic.
We respectfully submit to the men,
bers of the Legislature whether
these changes should not be made.
There is, at present, "A bill on the
table Of the Senate proposing the trans
fer of Braxton to this District. II It
shall seem meet and proper to the Sena
sors. this bill might be amended by the
transfer of PocanOntas and Webster,
also, as suggested.

THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.

In the proceedings Of the House OF

seen that resolution Was adopted to the
effect that so much of the Governor
message as relates to the Centennial, be

ful Of the necessity of the States being
not only represented, but well and cred
itaDly represented, at the grand United
States Exhibition next year, The advsn
tages which will accrue to the State arc
So paipabe and immense, and have been
50 frequently set forth in our columns,
that 1t is not worth while to again mention
them in full. Suffice it on this head to
saw, that the minerals, timber and agrlcul
tural resources of the State are worth to-
her untold sums of wealth, for of her 81
counties about - contain coal,
and all contain more or less OF ore

stacle to the proper development Of this
wealth lies in the fact that it is 50 little
known. This occasion affords an op-
portunity for advertising these things to
the world, such as rarely ever occurs,
and which will certainly not occur
again in the present generation. In
short, the great and obvious advantages
which such State exhibit will en-
sure, makes aid from the Legislature

will. doubtless, be granted.
But the next question Is concerning
the amount of such appropriation. To
