HEAVY SEAS.
Rough Experience Of the Fran els
M. Loring.
The Captain Knocked Senseless and Mel
Injured In a Terrible Gale.

GLoUcEsTER, May 5.-The schooner Francis
M. Loring of Portland, Capt. Brown, owned
| by Lewis, Chase & Whitten OF Portland. ar
rived at this port late last evening, pretty we'll
stove in about her bnlwarks. The schooner
left Portland April 10Th, for mackerel trip
south. She went sixty miles south-southeast
OF Cape enlopen, and remained on the fish
ing grounds fifteen days, cstching about lSO
barrels of first-class mackerel. She found the
fish plenty, and the other seiners were doing
well. She started fer home, and last Wednes-
day encountered a stiff breeze 12B miles east OF
Barnegat. The gale was furious and the sea
very heavy. The deck load of mackerel-16e
barrels--was consigned to the deep. The bull
wsrks were stove in, and the companionway
and skyli. hts were broken. A seine boat and
one dory, with part of the seine, were also
carried away. The cabin filled with water,
and the outlook was dubious. Capt. Brown
was at the wheel, and was washed away from
it in the squall, striking his head SO hard as
to render him unconscious for seven hours.
His face was severely bruised. One OF the
crew was jammed between the seine and main
boom, another had his leg bruised and third
injured his shoulder badly. The gale lasted
for about % hours, and the Loring lay to
for II hours. The cook poured quantity of
kerosene on the dashing waters, and the men,
bers OF the crew are Of the opinion that to this
expedient they owe their lives. This is the
first mackerel vessel from the south to arrive
in Gloucester.
A short time after, the Hattie Newman ar
rived with mackerel, and reported the loss of a
boat.
Capt. Brown, of the Francis M. Loring
spoke Capt. Jacobs of the Mollie Adams, who
reported that the Wonson OF Boston lost four
men in the same gale. The schooner Nellie
Washburn of Provincetown was also spoken
and reported the loss Of a seine boat.
The Loring will probably sail for Portland
tonight, where she will repair. Mackerel
seiners will be coming in thick from this time
until June.

what n BieycIi.t says.

To the Editor Of the Press:
AS some of our horsemen seem to have an
idea that the streets are made and maintained
solely for their use, would like little space
in your columns for a few remarks. On Mon
day evening one of our bicyclists was riding ON
Cumberland street, on the extreme right Of the
road, when gentleman ~ driving his horse
ut full speed, came up behind, and shouted,
"It you don't take that id thing out Of the
way I'll run you down." and then drove %
close as to Just Craze the handle bar Of the b.
cycle. Collision, under such circu instances,
would mean severe, II not fatal iDjories to the
bicyclist. Many OF the men driving teams
here in Portland seem to think that the bicy-
Gle has no right upon the road but they are
laooring under great mistake. 1t has been
decided in the courts again and again, both In
America and England, that man on oioy-
ele has the same rights on the road as any oth-
or vehicle, and when horsemen encroach (as
they often dc) they are liable to severe dam
ages and costs in case of accidents. No gem
tleman would ever refuse to give us our righS,
but there seems to be great many men Whe
cannot lay claim to that title. The bicJcls, ~
practical vehicle, has come to stay, and the
sooner our "horsey" friends understand thAe
fact the better it will be for them.

BLAKE AND FOSTER COMBINATION.
At the Bijou last night the Blake and Foster
combination gave good exh bition of the beauties
and possibilities of bicycle riding. The men come
from Oakland, in this State. and have recently com
menced travelling. They use the ordinary Star bi-
cycle. Blake's command of the machine is excel
lent, and the double riding by the two performers
is an excellent thing. The polo game on bicycles is
something new here and was well received. Foster
won two successive goals. Blake's banjo playing
while riding at full speed gave him a chance to do
two things at once in up-top shape. Fosters tum-
bling feats showed considerable skill. The enter
tainment will be repeated tonight and in addition
to last evenings programme there will be double
riding on two machines. The entertainment will
repay a visit and deserves good patronage.
NOTES.
In their games with Massachusetts and New
Hampshire cubs, both at home and abroad, this
season, the Alamedas have won 53 per cent. The

Boston, May 5.-Hon. Matthew j. Nc
Cafferty, Associate Justice OF the Municipal
Court, died suddenly this evening at his resi-
dence on Hancock street, aged 56. He was
appointed to the bench by GoverpoT P1tler in
January, 1883, and has won many aDcnaniums
for his impartial and fearless adninistrstion of
the law.
Judge McCafferty held court to-day and had
appeared in the best of health. He sat down
TO his supper as usual shortly after o'clock
tonight, and during the meal laughed aud
chatted with those about him with his usual
cbeerfuness and good nature. Shortly after
retiring to his room in the second story, one of
his old comrades of the 25th Regiment, who
occupied room above, heard noise, as if
made by some one in distress, and running
down stairs, found the Judge seated in chair,
evidently in great pain and breathing with
difficulty. A physician was quickly sum-
moned, but all efforts to relieve the sufferer
failed aud he died in few moments. The
cause WAS heart disease.
