A TERRIBLE STORY.
The Horrible Fate Of the Crew of a
Steamer Burned at Sea.
lCahle dispatch from LONDON. ]

The second engineer of the burned steamer
st. Augustin, who was landed at Shields, tells
a heartrending story OF the wreck. He says
that when all the boats had been filed there
were still thirty people on the burning ship.
The lifeboat, which was already loaded dowr
TO the gunwales, was appealed to
by these unfortunates TO save them.
Their agonizcd cries were irresistible, and
even the strong desire for life, always
selfishly manifest under extreme circum-
stances, was overcome, and the boat re-
turned. The folly OF the attempt was ap-
parent TO all The weight of one more human
being, let alone thirty, would be fatal, but
this was forgotten or disregarded and the
life boat turned her course toward the
doomed vessel. She approached as carefully
as possible, laboring over the big seas only
to bc dashed to pieces, for when near the st.
Augustin she was thrown with terrific force
against the side of the ship and crushed. Nearly
all in her were drowned at once. Rhc rest
clambercd over the sides, catching over
hanging ropes, and suffered probably worse
fate with those OH board. The Captain OF the
st. Augustin, after having his legs cut of by
a falling spar, begged of the crew to tie some
weight to his body and throw him overheard.
He preferred drowning 10 being burned. The
crew finally complied, and he was heavily
weighted AMI thrown into the sea. The sec
ond mate, after his master had gone, became
perfectly frantic, and, pulling his pistol,
he put the muzzle into his mouth, and
sent the charge through his brain. He fell
dead in his tracks. These examples were fol-
lowed by the rest. Some jumped overheard,
others stabbed themselves, all seeming to
prefer some quicker mode OF terminating
existence than the horrible torture awaiting
them from the rapidly advancing flames.
When the John Williamson hove TO and stood
by, Il perfect hurricane was blowing. She
nevertheless LAUGHED boat contain
ing volunteer crew and sent it TO
the rescue. When the st. Augustin was
reached the man in the bow jumped
for dangling line, but he missed II and was
drowned. A second man made the attempt.
He was dashed against the side OF the vessel
and killed. Two others followed and were
drowned Finally line was secured and six
persons were taken off. This was all that
could he done. The sea ran 80 high that II
near approach meant certain death, and the
gallant crew of the Williamson were obliged
TO return, leaving those still on board the
blazing ship TO their fate.
The Williamson was meanwhile drifting
away. She made desperate efforts TO face
the storm and keep her boat in sight, but
they were almost useless. When she was
about to give up the boat was seen coming
toward her and the crew with the six rescued
men were with great difficulty taken on board.
The boat had rescued six persons and had lost
four in doing so.

CHARLES HARVEY'S FATE.
A Mob Takes Him from jail at Peters
burg, Ind.
His Body Afterward Found Danglings
to Locust Tree.
Telegram from vincennes, Ind


Sunday morning, between the hours OF
and 9 o'clock, from fifty TO seventy-five men
surrounded the jail in Petersburg, Pike county.
Ind, in which was confined young Charlie
Harvey, the murderer of Henry Dustin, Jr-
The front door was broken and unfastened,
and a guard was stationed near II, but he
was quickly overpowered. The jaier was i'm
bed and the leaders OF the mob crowded
into his room and demanded the keys
10 the jail doors. These he gave up at
once seeing that IL was useless TO at
tempt resistance The mob marched with
the keys TO the cell where Harvey was con-
fined. AS soon as he heard the noise he was
struck dumb with terror. Grabbing hold OF
him the mob placed rope around his neck,
pinioned his arms, and babe him walk ahead.
They hurried the doomed man 10 the edge of
the town, and, arriving at a locust tree, pro-
ceeded TO hang him up. After hanging him.
they placed IA card in his hand bearing the
words: More to follow
1t is stated that Harvey made n confession
of the murder of Henry Custin, which oc-
CURED Friday night. Nothing positive 10
known, as the men who received the confes-
sion are mute. The confession is said 10 i'm
plicate one of the most desperate characters
of Petersburg. The body hung suspended
from the tree from until 10 O'Clock Sunday
morning, and was covered with sleet and ice
and frozen stiff. Three thousand people Wis
tied the scene Sunday. The Coroner cut the
body down between ana 10 o'clock, aud rem
dered a verdict that Charles Harvey came to
his death by hanging at the hands OF I'M
known parties.
The crime which young Harvey expiated in
so horrible a manner was one OF the most
cold-blooded murders on record. Henry
Custin was employed in the dry-goods store
of Ed Montgomery, and it is supposed the
murderer thought he carried some or Mont
gomery's money or that he mistook Custin
for Montgomery. Custln was returning home
about 10 o clock in the evening, and was shot
almost at his own door. barber who lived
near heard two shots, raised window. and
saw one man bending over the PROSTATE form
of another. The murderer fed, and the dead
man was borne to his home.
Those in pursuit went 20 Harvey home,
two miles east of Petersburg, ut village
called Afford. Harvey was requested 10
come forth, and with reluctance put on his
clothes. He put on one boot and then
refused 10 PVT on the other. His mother
brought his boot from the kitchen, and was
noticed rubbing It with her fingers. The
boot was snatched out OF her hand and blood
was discovered upon il. The boot exactly
fitted the track of the man who shot Custin.
Harvey was taken To Petersburg. He re
qucstcd that they should lock him'sccurely in
jail as he feared the mob.

Loss Of Memory.

Loss of memory in middle age should
always be treated as serious symptom,
whether it be so or not. People who
suffer therefrom should decrease their
hours of labor, work more systemati-
cally, be careful to take rest whenever
they feel tired, relaxation when the
least low in spirits, abundant exercise
in the open air, whether they need it or
not. They should attend to the general
health and the regularity of the system.
Take a tonic-a mild and non-constipat-
ing one-rememberiDg, however, that
tonics are dangerous tools, and too often
wolves in sleeps clothing, or stimulants
in disguise. Temperance should be
observed, and wine most sparingly
used. BY observing such rules as these,
a failing memory may be restored then,
and not till then, mnemonics may be
had recourse to in order to prevent a
relapse. Mnemonics should be to the
memory what good spectacles are TO the
eyes-preservative.-Harper'S Bazar.
