suddenly at his residence in Bristol, that
State, at II o'clock last Tuesday morn
ling He had been somewhat nnwell for
two or three days, but no apprehension
was felt by himself OF his friends up to
the very hour of demise. The cause Of
Heath was spasms Of the heart.
Gen. Burnside was born at Liberty,
Indiana, on the 23rd Of May, 1924, and

WRECK OF THE SANDUSKY,

Among the vessels wrecked off the
4Elori,la coast during the terrific storm
sthat occurred during the latter days Of
August was the American ship sandus-
! Ky, bound from Ship Island to Liverpool,
: with a cargo Of lumber. The ship be
came waterlogged and was blown over
zun her beam ends. The masts were cut
away and the vessel righted, but the
houses, water tanks and provisions had
been washed overheard, leaving the crew
: clinging to the wreck with nothing to
: eat or drink and only the clothing they
HAD Oh when the storm arose. The stew
I lard and two young seamen were swept
eoverboard and drowned. The captain,
ftrst and second mate and eleven seamen,
constituting the remainder OF the crew,
[awere rescued by the ste amslip Hudson,
SCapt Freeman, after enduring the pangs
Esof hunger and thirst and the danger of
8being swept from their frail support for
Esevcnty long and weary hours. On the
= second day after the vessel was disabled
"a brig passed 50 near the wreck that the
sspccple on her deck were visible to the
#shipwrccked mariners but for some I'M
lsffknown reason she passed on without rc-
to the signals Of distress dis
Splayel from the wreck. The scene on
&the Hudson when the castaways were
$brought aboard is easier to be imagined
sthan described. Every kindness was
,}shown the destitute and half furnished
sunfortunates, and !; handsome purse for
&5their relief was made up by tho passen-
agers before the steamship reached New
fEY York The Sandusky was commanded
&by Capt Richard J. LoWlen, who is re-
Elated by marriage to the editor of the
ECIIIEF, Il circumstances which leads us tc
&sfeel more than an ordinary interest il
sHhis experiences. We congratulate our es
3teemed relative upon his narrow escape
from the fearful pGedicament in which
sEhe and his crew were placed by the wreck
f. OF the Sandusky, and also upon the luck,
Echance which led to the debarl1ation o
&ll!s charming wife and their three young
est children at Pensacola after startin!
upon the fatal voyage. Had Mrs. Low
den and the children been aboard, the,
swoulu almost certainly have been los

Having recently heard a report that!
Nr. j. w. Wickwire had died in the
Charity Hospital at New Orleans whiic|
undergoing treatment for the wounds in :.
tlicted upon him by john Miller, thei
rufiian who attacked him upon his little;
boat last June, Oh Bayou Lafonrche, i'll
was an agreeable surprise to us to rel
ceivc a visit from the alleged dead man
on Wednesday Of last week. Although
still weak from the effects of the injuries
he received at the hands of Miller, he is
far from being a corpse and has no
present intention of becoming one. He
speaks in highest terms of the treatment
and nursing he received ri the hospital,
and desired that we sliould particularly
mention the kind and sklltul L,inlstla-
tinns of DR. Arthur do R,:,lles and Sis
ters Agnes and Mary, to whom he owes Il
heavy debt CT gratitude. The patients
in this institution receive the most as
siduous attention and no effort is spared
TO allie viate their sutferings and effect =
cure of their ailments. 1t will be ;
source Of satisfaction to all who recall
the circumstances of the diabolcal ant
murderous assault upon Mr.. Nickwire
to learn that the trial of Miller, thu
would be ASSASSIN, cah.o of at Napoleon
xille few days ago, and that he was
convicted of the crime ana sentenced t.
