Loss of Schooner and Three Lives-A
Thrilling Scene at the Wreck.

BARNEGAT CITY, n. j., June 2S.-One of the
most thrilling shipwrecks seen this coast for
years occurred yesterday afternoon The
schooner L. & A. Babcock, haing from Somers
Point, and commanded by Capt Henry Babcock,
which put out from Philadelphia day or two
ago, loaded with coal, for Boston, sprung a leak
when off Bay Head, yesterday morning, about
o'clock The captain was compelled to run his
vessel ahead of the wind all day, while the
crew worked the pumps. At o'clock the yes
sci was discovered making for
Station fifteen, north of Barnegat inlet
The vessel was beached opposite the station in
hopes of being relieved by the life-sav-
ing crew The captain of Station 10,
however was not at his post, and,
as the vessel began to go to
pieces, Captain Joe Reed, of station 13,
three miles distant, rushed to the assistance of
fhe wreck, and arrived in time to shoot line
over the vessel, but the members of the crew
were so weak from working the pumps that they
could not draw the rope through
the surf, and the vessel broke to pieces while
they were endeavorinc to do so. In one hour
after the vessel struck nothing could be dis
cerned but lot of broken pieces of timber. The
first person to go from the vessel
was Mrs. Scarborough, wife of the mate. She
was struck by falling spar while being held by
her husband, and was Knocked from his arms

the beach is strewn with drift and Virginia pine

CHILD MURDERERS.
Their Victim Is Baby Brother, Aged Three
"A Piece of Cake the Cause.

PETERSBURG, Va, June 27.-Information was
received here of the horrible murder of a child
only three years old. Near Tarheel, Bladen
county, N. c., resides William Fennell, farmer,
whose farm borders on the Cape Fear river He
had three children aged respectively three five
and seven. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Fennell
happened to go out for a few moments and left
the-children alone playing by themselves, and
gave them each piece Of cake to keep them
quiet. AS it happened, she gave the youngest
among the three. Finally the two older ones
became so enraged because he would not give
them part of his that they pounced upon the
little fellow, and dragging him to the rivers
bank, pounded his brains out with a stone and
threw him in. They first denied knowing what
had become of the baby when first questioned,
but afterward confessed. The body has been re-
to punish. Mrs. Fennell is nearly crazy over
the terrible affair
