A Schooner and Brig Go Down.
 BOSTON, Mass, July 27.-Details have ar rived of disaster in the harbor of Port An tonic, July 19, which resulted in the sinking of the brig Etta of Kingston, and the schooner Bertha Watts of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Both vessels had been chartered to raise the steam CT Calvert, sunk by collision with the steamer Alpin, year ago while lying at quarantine The brig and schooner were scuttled at the waters edge and chains secured to the sunk en steamer. With the aid of powerful steam pumps on both vessels the contractors ex- pected to raise the wreck before either vessel was half pumped out. A short time after the pumps had been started the spars to which the hoisting chains were attached gave away and the brig keeled over towards the schooner and sunk. In going down her spars caught the masts of the schooner, cap sizing and sinking her. The steamer and brig now lie in about six fathoms of water with the schooner on top of them.

HEAVY PENALTIES.

Two Young Men Fined For Theft and Burglary and Bound over to the
 Supreme Court.
 Michael Murphy and William Foley are two young roughs with very unhealthy police records. Saturday they were before the City court charged with number of thefts and with burglary at the shoe shop of J. N. Cook on Church street. The cases against them for theft were for taking a lot of rub Der hose from Professor A. M. Wheeler and another from Professor Benjamin Jepson. They denied stealing the hose, but Murphy claimed to know who did and gave the mans name as Smith, who had gone to New York. Detective Reilly said he found the hose at John Pfuderers on Union street as directed by the accused.
 Joseph N. Cook testified that he had lost ten pairs of shoes and two pairs of boots. There were several pairs on the attorneys ta- ble which he identified his. He thought Murphy had been in his store within a month. The shoes stolen belonged to GUS toners and were left to be repaired.
 John Pfuderer testified to buying pair of shoes of Foley and also recognized pair of button shoes which he desired to sell. De- tective Reilly told how he had watched the movements or the men TOT several uays. Murphy when arrested denied that Foley was innocent.
 Judge Studley after looking up the record proceeded to find the young men guilty and fix penalties. He sentenced Foley and Murphy to pay fine of S10O and be i'm prisoned six months for stealing shoes; for the theft of rubber hose by Murphy, $7 fine and thirty days. For the burglary at Cooks, Murphy was bound over for trial to the October term of the Superior court in $500, for the theft of Professor Jepson's rope $7 fine and thirty days, and for the theft of MT. Wheeler's hose $7 fine and thirty days Murphy took an appeal from the judgment on the theft of the shoes, bond of $200 being required on the appeal. Foley was also bound over for the burglary at Cooks in $500 for trial.

GREG PARDON. SIR.,,

The Clever Trick Played By Burglars.
 BOSTON, Mass, July 27.-Professional bur glars last evening relieved the dry goods store of Alex Patillo at Gloucester of $500 worth of silks. While they were operating two pc icemen rapped at the door. The burglars opened the door and told the officers that they had busy day and were arranging stock, whereupon the magnates of the law left them with s'Beg pardon, sir.'' After the discovery of the robbery, Boston officers were wired and one of the gang giving the name of Henry G. Edwards, of New York, was arrested on the 4:20 train for New York just at it was about to start from the Boston and Albany station this afternoon. The goods were found in his possession. He steadfastly refused to give his companions away. The gang is probably the same which has operated extensively in Boston recently and which burglarized jewelry store at Lynne Friday night.

SHOT BY A FRIEND.
The Curious Statement of a Young Man
 Who Was Driven to a Hospital.


 Who Was Driven to a Hospital.
 BROOKLYN, July 27.-A coach drove rapid ly up to the Chambers Street hospital about half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon and a young man slowly alighted. He moved as if in great pain. The driver helped him up and left him there. No one else was in the coach, which was driven away as rapidly as it came. The young man left in the office said to the surprised attendant, ''I am shot. half fainting to chair, and was with difficult ty aroused when the surgeon came down stairs. The patient was carried to a ward and quickly examined. His clothing was found saturated with blood, which was flowing from bullet hole just below his heart, The wounded man tried to evade answering any questions, but finally said he was Austin Burrel a scenic painter, twenty years old, of No. 427 Fourth avenue. He refused to tell who shot him, but said that the wound was inflicted by a friend who was examining a revolver. The surgeons do not believe Burrells story, the nature of the wound does not indicate that it was inflicted accidentally. Neverthe- less, no word of the affair was sent to the police, and at midnight the surgeons were considering whether or not they should call a coroner.
 Burrell was at that hour very low, and hardly any hope was entertained of his re- covery. He was asked to give the name of some friends, and told the surgeons to send for T. A. R. Widlake, of No. Morton street, if it should become necessary.

It was only after des- perate struggle that Johnson was secured and placed in padded cell of the Town Hall It was intended to send him to an insane asylum, but after he had been confined in the cell . few days three physicians decided that he had recovered his reason and that there would be no fear of danger if he was allowed to go at large. Johnson was, there fore, discharged from custody, and leaving College Point went to work for Charles Cor nell on the Haviland farm in Little Neck He seemed to be all right until 3 o'clock Sat urday morning, when MT Cornell's family was aroused by Johnson, who rushed through the house brandishing revolver and an axe.

Constable George Roe and Officer Herrick were notified, and they resorted to strategy to capture Johnson. They climbed through one of the back windows of the house and were slowly creeping on the maniac when he discovered them. He fired three shots, none of which took effect, and just as Officer Herrick was about to bounce on him Johnson dealt him terrible blow on the shoulder, inficting & severe wound. Before the man could strike a sec ond blow Roe felled him to the floor with 8 heavy wooden chair.
