Arrival Of a shIpwreoked crew.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7-Capt. Oangllo
and thirteen officers and scamen Of a
wrecked Italian bark Talismano arri-
we'd here yesterday on the German
bark Louisa and Augusta, by which
they were rescued seven hundred and
fifty miles'east Of Sandy Hook on Sept.
29th. Capt. Oangllo said yesterday (:
"We were forty-eight days out from
Pensacola, bound to Port Glasgow,
England, and on Sept. 23d the bark
sprung a leak. We managed to keep
the vessel comparatively free from wa

in a revolving hurricane or cyclone.
came Frightful outbursts of wind
from all points Of the compass and
seas rose to a fearful height, so that
we were not only in danger of having
the masts hoisted out, and feared we
should be swamped by the seas. The
leak increased and for forty-eight hours
the men worked at the pumps to keep
the vessel anoat, while unbroken vol
umes Of seas swept the length of the
deck, threatning to carry every
thing before them. Finally the
gale broke, but the vessel was in a
sinking condition and our only
hope was in being rescued. The bark
Louisa and Augusta was sighted about
9 am. last Tuesday and answered our
of distress. At noon she was
about two hundred feet from US,

to prevent the lowering Of a

Had a Good Time.


Special to the Enquirer.
WILLIAMsPoRT, PENN, Oct. Mrs
Charles Heinrich, of Harrisburg, has
been visiting some friends in this
vicinity for several weeks, and she left
her husband, who is a travelling man,
at home to keep bachelors hall.
Heinrich is a man of about thirty-dve
years of age, rather good looking and
said to be quite a favorite among the
ladies. Since his wife'sabsence he has
been having a good time, and yester-
day afternoon he started from Harris
burg with young woman bound for
Elmira.
Some of Mrs. Helmrich's friends
who heard of what was taking place
had sent her word that her husband
was off on a racket, and she came to
this city on che six o'clock train on
the Philadelphia and Reading Road.
She went to the Philadelphia and Erie
Depot and there waited for the seven
O'Clock train on which was her hus-
band and the strange Young woman.
The train had no sooner came to a
standstill that Mrs. Heinrich boarded
the middle car, greatly excited. Seated
in the center Of the Car was her hus-
band and the young woman engaged
in an animated conversation. This
scene riled the injured wife, and with
out giving the couple a moments
warning, she stepped up to the seat
and commenced to box the young wo-
mans ear.
The rudeness of Mrs. .Helmrich's &C.
ton came like a thunderbolt on the
guilty pair. The young woman, when
she saw who it was, jumped from her
seat and hastily left the car, leaving
Heinrich to settle matters with his
wife. Mrs. Heinrich was very indig-
nant, and would not listen to any ex-
plantations. While the husband and
wife were quarreling the train moved
out Of the depot.
The scene was enjoyed by the pas
sengersl 1t could not be found out
who the young woman was or where
she went after she left the train. She
was about twenty years old, of petite
form, dark hair and jet black eyes,
very pretty and vivacious.

ter having the choice Of arms, decided
on a dynamite combat. At the set
hour, the combatants arrived in Vicks-

five cartridges. The seconds mounted
on the highest trees; and the duel COM
menced. The two first cartridges were
without effect. AT tho third there was
a fearful explosion. The seconds fell
from their lofty perches. and found
one of the principals literally torn to
pieces. The duelist had altogether
disappeared. The Boots of the ad-

BECK N PEARCE.

1t should not be forgotten that last
year Richard F. Beck was conspicuous
in drawing the color line against Judge
Jeffords particularly, and the white
people of this district generally. He
manipulated the county convention
here and had himself and a few other
worthless Of both eolors appointed as
delegates TO the Congressional Nomi-
mating Convention at Greenville. Ar
rived at that place he made himself
conspicuous by seconding the nominal
ton of that impudent and insolent
mulatto, A. G. Pearce, as the Repqb-
lican candidate for congress in this
district. 1t is needless to remind our
readers of the storm Of indignation
and disgust with which the nomination
OF Pearce was greeted-white men and
colored men, Democrats and Republi-
cans alike spurned and spit upon the
~disgraceful nomination. Like all
towards Dick Beck soon became par
alyzed with fear when the storm he
had been instrumental in raising be-
gan to display its power. Like a
frightened cur he was appalled, at the
result of his own handy work, and
made haste to declare that he would
not votefor that id niger" Pearce!
How he actually voted no man can tell,
but it is safe to assume that the dog
returned 70 his vomit, and cast a silent
vote for the wretched creature for
whose sake he had slaughtered and at
tempted to degrade an honorable white
like Judge Jeffords. The
friends of Eliza Jeffords in this county
will be apt to remember
treatment their /favorite received
the hands Of Dick Beck, and will
march in solid phalanx to the polls
and cast their ballots. for the honest
nan who was nominated against
him. The mills of the gods grind
but u high and mighty
Sheriff will learn to his sorrow that
hey grind exceedingly fine.

"The weather during September

yield Of u per cent; West Tennessee a

The best evidence that can be given
our readers to show that our amuse-

Vicksburg has been selected as a stand
for the greatest, grandest and biggest

its excellence.

MUCH IN LITTLE.

President Cleveland's answer to the
Islander published about him, to the
effect, that he desired the defeat OF
the Democratic ticket in New York, is
valuable to his party and to his coun-
~. The answer is short. to the
.int, and absolutely conclusive.
This country is ruled by the people
and the people are dividedinto parties.
Mr.. Cleveland, who occupies the
highest position within the gift
Of men, frankly declares his
political sentiments and party
allegiance. This declaration will
convince his party that however
individual Democrats may differ with
the President on points of doctrine or
policy, that he is as sound a Democrat
as anyone. There are those in all sec
tioDs Of the Union who have thought
he was too liberal in his treatment of
Republican Office holders, too slow in
removing them and too sensitive to
civil service reform critics. None Of
them will now be able to charge him
with a want of party fealty.
As President MT. Cleyeland has won
khe highest praise from fair men Of all

be classed as aleader OF leaders. al.
