New YORK, May pa Buffalo special
says Irishmen throughout the Northern
States and Canada are wide awake and
looking for an opportunity to strike blow
for their national independence, and to
cripple or hamper Great Britain if possible,
but at present no repetition of former Fe-
nian raids generally is intended. Irishmen
in Canada have no sympathy with such
movements, which would endanger their
own homes and property and involve an
outrage upon Canadian communities which
have never done them any harm. Raids
are also discountenanced by the better and
more intelligent Irish patriots on this side
of the border, from General Shields down
ward Should war be declared between
England and Russia, Irish Nationalist
would endeavor to prevent reinforcements
to the British army from this side of the
Atlantic.

A SAILORS ADVENTURE.
Ten Days on Raft, Followed by
Hungry Sharks.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, May 22.-Monday, February
11th, was dark rainy day in the South At
lantic Ocean. The schooner Carrie E. Long,
of Stockton Maine on her voyage from
Buenos Ayres to New York, had reached a
point just south of the Equator and about
two hundred miles from the Brazilian coast,
when the lookout discovered a man on a
frail raft, followed by a school of sharks.
He was picked up, and said his name was
Manuel Francisco, and that he had been at
sea ten days when rescued.
Originally there were three on the raft,
but one had been washed overheard and
devoured by sharks before his eyes before
they were two days out. The second died
from exhaustion on the fourth day. He
threw his body to the sharks thinking in
that way to cause them to quit following
the raft; but after they had torn his com
rade to fragments they only followed him
the more intently. He dared not sleep fol
fear of walking off the raft into their open
jaws. Water gave out on the sixth day
and thirst was added to the loss of sleep.
His only food was bread which had be-
come musty from long confinement in a
kerosene can and the eating of which only
added to his thirst without satisfying his
hunger. His sufierings became SO intense
that he was about to cast himself to the
sharks, when the Carrie f. Long hove in
sight. Francisco and companions were
escaped convicts from the Brazilian penal
island of Fernands Nor0nha. He was com
mitted for small theft and escaped Oh the
raft after serving three years.

WEBER ASSIGNMENT.

There have been no new developments in
regard to the affairs at the Weber Brewery,
and the property is still in the possession of
the late assignees.
The brewery is still locked up and an
armed force stationed inside. The violence
feared last night did not occur owing to
the Brigel party keeping away from the
place.
1t is alleged that noted person of this
city, an ex-convict, was busily engaged all
last evening in hiring desperate characters
and arming them with revolvers to keep the
brewery from being assailed.
There were over twenty men stationed in
the brewery last night, fact substantiated
by that number taking supper in body in
a Fourth street restaurant the expenses be-
ing paid by the brewery.
As the new assignee, Mr. Brigel, will not
interfere with the management of the brew
cry until he is put in possession of it by the
Courts, there is no further danger of hos
tile collision of the clans.
The injunction, served last evening, will
be heard next Saturday morning
