SWALLOWED BIZ THE SEA.

-Four Missing Vessels with their Crews
Whose Fate will Probably Not be known
Until the Sea Gives Up Its Dead.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec Il.
Four merchant vessels which set sail at
different periods since the 9Th of last July
with large cargoes and crews Of trusty men
have never been heard from, and are given
up for lost. Altogether they had on board
forty seamen, who are supposed to have
gone to the bottom of the depths. The
financial loss, should the four crafts never
appear, will be at least SIS, 900. One Of
the Inflated vessels is the new schooner
Joseph Hilton, owned in this city to a large
extent, principally by John Barry, of No.
05 Fairmount avenue, and J. McCracken,
of Camden, N. j. She was manned by
Captain O. H. p. Rogers and a crew of
seven men, and set sail from Darien, Ga,
whence she sailed on September for New
buryport, Mass, with cargo of 100000 feet
of yellow pine. The vessel and cargo were
worth $4,000.
The schooner Earl H. Potter, Captain
Dyser, another of the overdue vessels, sail
ed from Philadelphia June 20 for New York
via Pensacola, where she arrived during
the month of August, clearing on the sd

She carried crew of eight men, and with
her cargo was worth $4,000.

Dr. Isaac Lea, of Stapleion, S. l., is
one of the most venerable of Staten
Island physicians and is also coroner
for the town of Middletown. He acted
as coroner at the time that Reinhardt
was hanged at Richmond for the brutal
murder of his wife. Reinhardt, it will
be remembered, killed his wife at the
hour when n babe was born, and
chopped the bodies of the two into
small pieces. crowded them all into
barrel, threw piece of carpet
over the top, which he placed in
Nheelbarrow, and, in broad daylight,
wheeled the revolving cargo through
the streets of Stapleton, passing from
The village into the woods near Silver
Lake. where he dug !. hole and buried
the barrel and its contents in lonely
spot. a heavy rain-storm washed the
earth from the barrel. and child, while
put gathering nuts, discovered it months
after. Reinhardt had moved away
from the island, and the only cue to
he CORPSE of the murdered woman was
the piece OF carpet that he had placed
IN the barrel. After he was hanged his
body was buried in potter's field at
Richmond. His skeleton. complete 10

About six O'Clock this evening Wesley
eastman, a coupler in the yards of the
Western s. Atlanta Railroad, fell under
the wheels of a car, which passed over his
body, mangling his right arm and almost
severing his right leg at the thigh. The
physician in attendance states that both
leg and arm will have to be amputated
close to the body, but thinks the man will
die before the operation can be performed.
Some time ago eastman lost an eye in the
yards of the w. & A. Company, and the
company had agreed to pay him II 500 dam
ages. The man had written to his wife,
who lives in Atlanta, Ga, telling her he
would start for home Tomorrow evening.
He will probably go to his wife corpse.
