AT THE KINZUA vIADUCT
Blowing Great Gales.

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The schooner
Driver, with the survivors of the
wrecked steam barge Akeley on
board, was sighted far out in the lake
yesterday, making signals of distress.
She was towed in port late in the
day. The story of the wreck of the
Akeley, learned from one of the sur
vivors, is as follows
The Akeley left Chicago for Buffa-
10 on Sunday morning with 5000
bushels of wheat. In the morning,
when off Racine, she fell in with the
tug Protection in distress, and
learned of the fate of the schooner
Arab. A line was thrown to the
tug, and the pair kept company
through the great gale of Sunday.
The cargo of the Akeley shifted on
Monday afternoon she was at the
mercy of the waves. Her smoke
stack and part of her upper works
went overheard and she began to
leak.
The Protection, to relieve her, cut
loose and they parted company
The crew set to work and righted
thelcargo, but the smoke stack being
gone, the engines would not work
and she lay in the trough of the sea
and finally filled and sank. The
last seen OF Captain Stretch he was
floating on a bucket rack, but there
is but little doubt that he has been
lost. The schooner Driver hove
in sight in time to pick up the
survivors, who were greatly ex-
hausted.

Murdered at 4 Wedding Feast.

NEwBERN, November ia
fatal fight occurred last night at a
wedding iu Carrituck, HYDE County
this state. Charles Credle, a pros
porous young cotton planter, was
married to one of the bellies of the
county. The occasion was expected
to be a Joyous one. The young peo-
pie invited their friends from all the
country side to be present and wit
ness the nuptials, for which elabor-
ated preparations had been made.
The ceremony took place at s p. NJ.
clock. The whole company retired
to the spacious, old fashioned din
ing room and partook of a generous
feast prepared by the brides parents.
Some of the young men INDUCED
rather too freely in wine, which ex-
cited them, and a misunderstanding
took place about the dance which
was to follow the wedding re.
past.
Hot words passed between several
of the jewellers, which resulted in a
fight. Pistols were drawn and sew
eral shots were fired. Charles Bal
lance, the groom's best man, was
killed andThomas Sidan, another OF
the groomsmen, received a wound
which will, it is believed, prove NOR.
tai. The fight did not last three min
utes but during that time halfa dozen
shots were fred and the room clear
ed of the jewellers The wounded
man was tenderly cared for by the
young married couple, who sat up
all nigh. and watched over him.
The dead body of young Balance
was removed to an upper room in
the house, until an investigation
can be had by the authorities.

Brutal Robbery.

DENVER, November 15.-One OF
the most brutal robberies that ever
occurred in Colorado, was enacted
at Petersburg Grove, seven miles
from this city, last night. At that
place resided an old bachelor, Peter
Olsen, who usually kept small suns
of money hid about the premises.
Last night four disguised men went
to the house and Knocked, as is
customary in the country. The
farmer asked the visitors to come in.
AS soon as all were inside the door
they seized Olsen, threw him on the
floor and held him, and then de-
manded TO know where his money
was. He replied he had none. Af-
ter thoroughly searching the house
to no purpose, Olsen still refused to
tell where the money was hid, the
robbers got willow switches. and
whipped his bare feet and legs until
covered with blood. Still refusing,
they built large fire in the back
yard, carried Olsen out and proceed
ed to execute their threat to
roast him alive. They placed his
feet in the fire and literally roasted
them. Even after this terrible treat
ment he would not open his mouth.
The old man was then compelled to
walk back to the house, where a
scuffie ensued, during which the
stove was overturned, disclosing the
money box containing $500, which
the robbers took and decamped No
clue Olsen will probably recover.

CLEVELAND, November 15.-The
Cleveland Rolling Mill Company's
steel works will shut down for re-
pairs about December 1st, which will
necessitate the closing Of the rail
nails and blast furnace. The wire
mills will reNain ip operation. The
improbable state of trade explains
the urgent need OF repairs, which
will not be finished until the market

Joseph Sarber shot his father twice,
first in the arm and again through

Mary Kelly, the housekeeper, that
he had killed his father and would
kill her. He then shot her in the

fatal wounds. Sarber fled, but was
captured and lodged in Jail yesterday.
He denies the crime, but the evi-

We observe that in the wrestle for
the Speakership Of the next House,
that is now in progress between RAN
dali, of this State, and Carlisle, of
Kentucky, a number of our Repub-
lican contemporaries express de-
sire for the success of Randall, be-
cause he favors protective tariff,
while Carlisle is an outspoken free
trader, or in favor of tariff for
revenue only" This is simply
measuring Randall by his professions
and not by his acts-a most hazard
Gus method OF dealing with any
Democratic politician-and exhibits
a most childish verdancy in his
case, in face of the fact that, when
last elected speaker, he appointed
Fernando Wood, the ablest free
trader in the House, Chairman of
the Committee of Ways and Means,
having exclusive control OF the tariff
question.
A similar confidence in the pro-
LESSONS of George NJ. Dallas tariff
Democrat of the same school as Ran
dall, cost the country the repeal of
the tariff of 1912, and the adop.
ton of the ruinous revenue tariff of
1916. OF the two men, We prefer the
election of Carlisle, first, because be
honestly avows his free trade princi-
piles, and secondly, because his sue
cess places his party in its true posi-
tion, and tears aside the fiimsy veil
of protection, under which it in this
and other Northern States, attempts
to disguise its free trade principles.
The great campaign of next year
will, in all probability, turn upon
the question of protection, and we
prefer encounterlng an open, manly
foe, rather than sneaking, hypo-
critical trickster. There is a large
protective sentiment among the
Democrats of Pennsylvania, but it is
always subordinated to the free trade
demands of the party at large. The
stream cannot rise higher than it.

CHICAGO, November 15.-A story
is published here this morning to
the effect that the body of Abraham
Lincoln has been secretly removed
from the sarcophagus at Springfield
to prevent the nossibility of any fur
ther attempt by grave robbers. The
story runs tc the effect that the re
moval was made within a few days
after the attempted desecration Of
the grave, few years ago; that the
body was placed in a lead lined, all
tight cedar casket and placed in
another portion of the monument
and that its location was known only
to few immediate friends.

Premonition OF Death.

A Lewiston. Maine, dispatch says
that two weeks ago Lafayette Cook,
an excentric citizen of Auburn, an
nounced to ms family that he would
Idie on Sunday, November II. Yes
| terday his friends came to this city
| to buy a coffid in which to bury his
lrenialns. He Gas a sewing machine
operator. and had been employed on
a long job making overalls. He
worked at home and lived happily
with his family For long time he
had been talking about his approach
ing death, but as he was in excel
lent health, little attention was paid
to him. Il ~
One day last week he asked a
nei ghbor to take to town some work
he dad been doing.
''Shall bring down some work
for you ?n asked the man.
"No," Cook replied. 81 have done
all the work | shall ever do"
At the Sunday morning meal he
rernarked sadly, Il shall never eat
an other breakfast with you" He
VIZ S in his usual good health, and in
the afternoon he went out for a walk
wi th his grandchildren. Returning
to the house he calmly announced
that he would prepare himself for
his coffin, and that he was ready to
meet his Maker. He shaved himself
carefully and put on clean clothes.
He called for spread, and lying
down upon the lounge he drew a
comforter about him, and apparently
settled himself for a nap.
His wife and family gathered
about him, he bidding them all good
by. They were impressed by his
gentle earnestness, but had no idea
of his dying. They believed he had
given too much attention to religious
subjects, and that this whim was the
result. Mr.. Cook lay with his cheek
resting on one hand and with his
other arm by his side. La that po-
sition he seemed to fall asleep, His
friends saw no change in him. AT
tea time they tried to wake him.
He was breathing softly, but they
could not rouse him. He sank into
a deeper stupor. They worked over
him all night, and a physician was
called. but it availed nothing Early
yesterday morning he died He had
made no movement after he first
closed his eyes. Those who were
with him scout the idea Of his hay-
ing taken drugs. They SLY that sui
eide never entered his thoughts, that
he was simply willing TO die because
he thought i; was Gods will. Those
who have investigated the case re-
gard it as a simple surrender ofvital
power.
