IN THE rnouGn OF the SEA.
Experience of steamer in Storm In the
Bay of Fundy.

Day VI Huuuys
ST. JOHN, N. B., Dec. 2S.-The heaviest
storm OF the Season began on Saturday
afternoon, and ragged with fearful violence
until after midnight. The wind at times
attained q velocity Of sixty miles an
hour. About six inches of snow fell,
which has been piled into drifts, five and
six feet high around the city. Tie seas
were running mountains high. The storm
was very severe Oh The Nova Scotia coast,
and 1t is feared serious disasters TO ship
ping have occurred. She steamer Secret,
which left this port on Saturday morning
for Digby, experienced the full force OF
the gale.
She had scarcely reached midday when
the storm struck her. The captain kept
on, expecting 10 reach DiGby before tho
storm assumed serious proportions. In
this he was unsuccessful, as every minute
the wind increased in velocity aud the
snow descended in such binding squalls
as to make it impossible for the shore
lights to be seen. AS the wind increased
the sea rose and swept clean over the
steamer. After beating around for several
hours without making land, the ship re-
fused to obey the rudder, and the captain
was obliged to put about. In doing 30 the
steamer got into the trough Of the sea and
began drifting toward the land. She
drifted so close that the lights on Point
Prince could be seen. Every one on board
expected that the steamer would be dashed
on the rocks, but happily this disaster was
averted.
After steamipg for over an hour she got
headway, and the captain Immediately
ran for ST. John, reaching this port at
midnight. The steamer was one mass OF
ice. Several passengers who had outside
state.rooms were imprisoned in them for
over sixteen hours, the heavy seas which
swept over the vessel making it impossi.
BILE for them TO communicate with other
persons on board. Their experience wss
frightful, as every moment
they expected the steamer would founder.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-In regard to the

ample 10 the youth OF the land.
could only answer that tho story was
an absurd falsehood, and he Immediately
wrote me that a load had been lifted from
his mind. There ia tradition that years
ago there used to be black bottle kept
in the consultation.room, and that the
members Of the Court used to pass 1t
around at intervals, but l have never
known anything OF the sort in my time.
I have never seen any liquor ofany sortin
any OF the omsioCcupied by the Court,
and l have never known Of any Of the
Justices taking drink at the Capitol l
am not a total abstinence man myself,
and I've got some pretty good whisky at
home which ia at the service OF my
friends, but would just as soon suggest
that question OF constitutional law be
decided by Zip OF copper Ss to ask one
OF the attendants OF the Court to mix me
slaos Of grog or pass bottle around In the
consultation room. 1t is wicked, silly
story, and l hope that it will be widely
contradiCted."

Ell. PAEo, TE1., Dec. 2S.-W. J. Jones,
one Of the best known ranchmen in Ari.
zona, arrived here yesterday from the
vicinity Of the recent Indian msssacres.
Inan interview, Mr.. Jonessays the esituation
in western New Mexico and eastern Arizona
is really much worse than has been re-
ported by the newspapers. He declares
no one person can gather an adequate
idea of the terroriEed condition OF the in.
habitants and the actualnumber OF people
killed by the Apaches within the past
few months. Dozens OF families have
been massacred in different parts Of the
Territory, and the news Of their death
has never spread beyond the imme.
diste vicinity, owing 10 the long
distance and separation from the out
side world. Mr.. Jones mentions three
murders in New Mexico, which to his
knowledge have never been published,
and says Just prior to his departure from
New Mexico he helped to bury the body
OF neighbor found murdered by the In
dams.
The fearful loss by fire and plunder at
the hands Of marauding Apaches has
also been underessimated, IS many
ranches have been literally cleaned
up OF stock, and the houses burned.
The ranchmen OF Graham county,
Arizona, have equipped q ranger force at
their own expense, and placed them in the
field. Settlers are depending entirely on
these rangers. The regular army is no
longer relied upon by people to suppress
the frequent outbreaks. Mr.. Jones as
serts that Governor Zulick, ot ArlzonS, is
in favor Of Immediately organizing a Terri.
torial ranger force, and has been petitioned
to call the Legislature together for this
purpose.

PARKERsDuRo, W. Va, Dec. 2S.-Late
to-day dodgers were thrown about an
nouncing Prohibition Convention at the
Court House tonight. The scheme was
gotten up as sort OF political surprise
party and succeeded: admirably in it's pur-
pose.
About twenty-five Prohibitionists pre-
sented themselves at tho convention and
nominated a ticket, headed by Captain
W. B. Caswoll, for Mayor, and full city
ticket, all Of the nominees but two baing
Republicans. Cornelius Watkins, one OF
the nominees, ia colored man.
The convention merely transfers Leon
ard tactics from Ohio to city elections,
and Republican prospects arc not nearly
30 bright as they were yesterday.
The nomination Of q ticket ia just so
much valuable assistance to the Democrats
and Doodle supremacy.
