LOST In SIGHT OF HELP.
A Wreck on the New Jersey Coast-Futile
Efforts of the Life-Saving Crew to Res
cue the Sailors Five Bodies Washed
BEACH HAVEN, N. j., Jan.


BEACH HAVEN, N. j. Jan. IL.
The barkentine Elmira, from Salamanca,
England, struck on Long Beach nearly OPP
posite Life-Saving Station No 81, about
mile east Of this place, on Tuesday evening
about seven p. m. She was soon discovered
by the Life-Saving patrolmen and they
notified the crew of the Life-Saving Sta
tion. After several fruitless attempts lines
were shot over the Elmira's bow. The wind
was blowing a gale and the rain fell in tor
rents, making the work of the men both on
shipboard and on shore especially difficult,
and impeding the movement of the line.
The rope, however, was finally pulled up
by the barkentine's crew and the usual
questions shouted from the craft to land if
all was right and taut, and if it was safe
to hang the life-car. While the work of ad-
justing the car was in progress, delayed by
the ice-covered rope, the Elmira swung
around side to the sea, slipping the rope aft
and throwing it out of position. Those on
the shore could hear the shouts of the sail
ors and the dash of the breakers on the
hull. Steadily the Life-Saving men worked
to adjust the car, when suddenly a great
wave struck the barkentine and swept
over her, carrying everything with it.
When the spray cleared as the mammoth
wave receded it was evident that those on
board had been washed into the ocean. 1t
required but few minutes then for the sea
to break the vessel in pieces, which were
strewn along the beach and carried over it
to the bay, body of water some fifteen
miles in length and seven in width. Moth
ing could be done further by the men on
the beach. They watched the timbers as
they were dashed on the sands and swept
away again. Every fragment was exam
ined in the hope that some of the crew
could be found clinging to the wreckage,
but without avail.
After the high tide had subsidized and the
dawn of morning aided, the search con-
tinued and examination was made, but
nothing could be found to show that there
had been any life on board. Save wom-
ans dress and a Bible, everything had
been swept out to sea over the beach in
to the bay, excepting some debris lodged
among the hills. The ice in the bay pre-
vented any messenger from reaching the
main land and the nearest point to a tele-
graph office. To-day five bodies were
washed on the beach, evidently those of
the Inflated Elmira's crew. Three of those
bodies came ashore near Life-Saving Sta
ton, No. 90, one near Station No. is, and
one near Station No. 10.

THROUGH LACK OF CAUTION.
A Gang of Twenty-Five Men Working in
Railroad Cut Run Into by a Train-Three
Killed and Several Injured.

AhICu anu SeteFat lbJufSQ
PITTSBURGH, Pa, JAM 9.
Brinton Station, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, eight miles east of here, was the
scene this evening of a terrible accident.
which resulted in the instant killing of two
men and the severe injuring of five others,
one of whom has since died. All day a
large force of men had been employed on
the Pittsburgh Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad cleaning the snow from the
track. AT cut Just east of Brinton some
fifteen or twenty men were engaged this
evening about seven O'Clock, when the
Walls accommodation suddenly rounded
the bend at Brinton, and before all the men
could get out of the cut they were run
down. The train was stopped as quickly
as possible and backed to the scene of the
accident, when terrible sight met the
gaze of the passengers and train men. The
dead and dying were scattered along the
track for fifty yards. The bodies of two
men were found badly mangled and life
extinct. Five others were badly injured,
and one has since died in the hospital. The
names of the killed, with the exception of
Jacob Heidelburger, aged %, are not known,
as the men were only engaged to-day, and
were not even known to their fellow work
men.
The names of the injured are Frank Co.
liza, aged q, single; back hurt dangerously
Herman Sands, aged 80, single; right leg
broken.
T. Chilli, aged 2S, married.; dangerous
scalp wound left knee and arm fractured.
John Fisher, aged 80, single; right knee
fractured.
After the accident the men crawled out
of the snow in all directions. The accident
was caused by the failure of the men to
have lookout to warn them of the APP
proach of trains, and as it was dark and a
locomotive standing near by with steam
escaping, it was impossible 10 see or hear
a train-coming. 1t is known that twenty
five men were working in the cut when the
accident occurred, and all have been ac-
counted for

PROHIBITION OF AMERICAN PORK.
French Economists Alarmed Over the Pro-
posed Reprisals.

posed Reprisals.
PARIS, Jan. IL.
Regarding the retaliation proposed in
Washington against the prohibited i'm
portation by France and Germany of
American pork, La France publishes
most sensible and forcicle leader, written
by the distinguished economist, M. Simon
in, protesting against the present policy of
prohibition, and clearly demonstrating
that France will be the greatest sufferer.
NJ. Simonin writes: s'The bill of M. Bert IS
a most absurd and most dangerous meas
ure. The official returns show that the
value of the imports of pork fell in the last
year from 100000 600 francs to 10000 francs,
subjectng the ports of Havre, Bordeaux
and Marseilles to loss of at least that
amount of trade, and depriving the poorer
classes of cheap and nourishing food. The
members of commerce throughout France,
the Academy of Medicine and the Council
of Public Health have protested in vain
against the action of the Government
The war against American pork was begun
and continued in the interest of ring OF
protectionists, pork-packers and raisers at
Nantes, who want to monopoliZe the ham
market themselves. Now, 1T is high time
the French people should open their eyes
to the danger which is now menaced by
American reprisals. The reports of the
American Consuls to their Government,
have directed attention to the alleged adul-
teration Of French wines. The analysis OF
the munipal laboratories Of Paris lend color
to this charge, and perhaps give cause Tor
the action Of the American Congress. If
the United States restrict or prohibit the
importation of French wines another
enormous loss will be inflicted on French
commerce, and this at the very moment
when our economic disturbance and dlmin-
ishing exports are the greatest. In the
event of such prohibition 37,5OO,OOo francs
will be lost, thus making total Of nearly
loo. 600. 900 francs, and thus paying dearly
for this protection of a few pork-packers OF
Nantes.v
