HER LIFE-BOAT PICKED UP-TlEORIES As TO
THE SAFETY OF THE CREW.
The New York Herald Of yesterday says
Homes are now entertained that some at
least of the crew OF the schooner John Il.
Shaw, which was wrecked last Monday of
Woodlands, n. j., have been saved. Cap
tain Redmond, OF the fishing-smack Josie
Reeves, SAYS that on Tuesday last he saw
tine Shaw's life-boat floating bottom up not
very far from the wreck. The davits were
dangling from the boat, and looked rs il
they had been suddenly wrenched OFF from
the schooner. This proves, the Captain
thinks, that the life-boat was not taken
down by the crew OF the Shaw, but was
knocked off when the vessel was run into
by some steamer which wrecked her.
Mr.. ii. p. Havens, OF No. I07 West
street, the agent Of the Shaw, says OF Cap
tain Redmond's "fnd y: alt proves, in my
opinion. that the crew are alive. | first
thought that Immediately after the wreck
the crew had tried 10 reach land in the life
boat. but the state In which this boat was
found shows conclusiyely that thev did not
use it. | now believe that the Shaw was
run into by q steamer, which took the crew
on board, and that In very few days we
shall hear from them. The Shaw is total
wreck. When the reyenue-cutter Grant
passed her she was lying bottom up out Of
the water, proving. of course, that all her
cargo. which consisted OF 424 tons Of coal
and l1O tons OF plg-iron, had gone to the
bottom"
II is the opinion of most of the captains
in mort that il the crew had been picked
UP they would have been landed before
this at some port where they could have
been heard from.

A Wheeling, W. Va, telegram says
The POwhatan mud geyser still remains a
mystery. The discharge Of matter from
the oriiice, which is about two feet in di-
ameter and smoothly drilled in solid rock,
has ceased, but the evidences OF phenOme-
nal action remain. All efforts 10 measure
the depth of the shaft have failed
because OF the force OF the gaseous
discharge. Heavy timbers dropped end
wise into the aperture, after descending
below the surface, were hurled into the
air with great force. About the
orifice IS Il considerable mound Of mud.
stones, and coal thrown out by the gaseous
discharge. As the nearest coal vein Is
sixty feet below the surface, the well must
be at least sixty feet deep. All efforts TO
fire the invisible discharge Of force have
failed, and the water thrown out is as cold
as ice, thus making il certain that beat and
natural gas have nothing to do with the
mystery
