DISASTER AND DEATH.
Steamship Sunk and Sailors Missing-A
Tale of Suffering and PrivatiOn.

HUNTERS PoINT, l.. L., Jan. IL.
The ten shipwrecked sailors from the
steamer Hylton Castle arrived from Fire Is
land this afternoon by rail. They had moth
ing but the clothing they wore, having been
unable to save anything from the vessel The
Hylton Castle was loaded with corn for
Rouen. She sailed Friday forenoon. There
were % souls on board. At eight o'clock
Friday evening, when the vessel was miles
east of Sandy Hook. she encountered ter
rlble snow storm. The wind blew hurri
can and big waves washed over the steamers
decks and tossed her abaat like a raft. The
vessel was straining badly. The storm grew
worse, and the vessel became unmanageable
and refused to mind her helm. When the
storm was at its height the steamer sprang
aleak and the water began to pour into the
hold Steam and han pumps were put in
motion but failed to keep the water from
rising. All night long the ship was butfete
about her crew expecting every moment
would be their last. All the next day the
pumps were kept working. As night drew
on the water reached the engine room, and
by nine o'clock the fires were extingui.hed
Those on board the steamer then gave up all
hope. Another night of suspense was spent
and at about six o'clock in the morning Fire
Island light was sighted, and at 0 O'Clock,
seeing no hope of saving the steamer, Capt
Calvin p;pej all hands and ordered that the
life boat and launch be lowered. Half an
hour later both rowed away from the steam
er. When the boats had gone two miles
towards the shore the steamer went down
bow FIRST. and in a few minutes not a spar or
topmast could be seen. Mate Marshall with
nine of the men were in the launch and Capt.
Calvin and eleven men were in the life boat.
The boats separated in the storm and lost
sight of eace other. The mates crew reached
the land with the assistance of the life saving
crew, but the other boat is missing. All of
the crew. of the life saving stations between
Fire Island and Southampton are on the
lookout for the missing boat. Several of the
mates crew were badly frozen and he fears
that if the missing boat did not reach land
last night its occupants must have been
frozen to death. The statements that the
Hylton Castle was unseaworthy and over
loaded is denied by her agents
New YORK, Jan. IL.
The Maritime Exchange this afternoon had
advices from Fire Island in effec, that fish
ing smack had been sighted of the Island
sailing westward with a white boat in tow
The name of the smack is not given. The
owners of the lost vessel think the white
boat in tow is the second boat which left the
Hylton Castle when she foundered, and thai
the missing men are on board of the smack

FIRE In BOSTON.
A Five Story Building Burning Fiercely
with Heavy iOss-The Bitter Weather
flinders the FIremen's Work.

BOSTON. Jan. II.
What will undoubtedly prove disastrous
fire is now raging in the five story granite
building numbered II, 73, IS and II Clinton
street and occupied bv w. o. Rogers, agri-
cultural implements and fertilizers, and on
the second floor by c. H. Thompson & Co.,
seeds. The three upper stories were filled
with stored -four, grain. ate, and the proper
ty therein will be total loss. Three of the
floors have already fallen and the building
will be thoroughly gutted.
The firemen are considerably hampered in
their work by the four below zero weather
and the quantity of snow in the street. At
the present writing the fire is burning fiercely
but it is thought it will be confined to the
buildings numbered above.
The block is owned by the heirs of the
Jane E. Quincy estate. The whole fire de-
partment of Boston together with engines
from Charleston, Somerville and Cambridge
was called out.
The portions of the block to which the fire
WAS confined are numbered from II to II and
was occupied in the lower floor by produce
and fruit commission firms, and in the upper
portions as storage ware rooms
The fire started in the store of S. T. Fletch-
er. dealer in butter, cheese and eggs, from
candle, it is stated, which was being used to
lamp eggs. The place has been previous
ly occupied as paint shop and the oil-soaked
floor was extremely infiammablc,
The fire spread very rapidly and when the
department reached the scene, the entire in
terror of the building was in flames, and de-
spite the most strenuous efforts of the fire.
men, this subdivision of the block vas gutted
Hines & Hayden and w. q. Rogers, fruit
commissioners, were burned out.
The three upper stories were stored with
-four and canned goods. Some eleven thou
sand barrels of the former and 4 800 cases of
ers of the property are Page, Ki1ders and Co.,
250O barrels of flour: Dorr Ellison & Co.,
2500 barrels; j. f. Hosiner, 1000 barrels !;
Martin l.. Hail, 1000 cases of canned goods.
The flour would aggregate in value $50. 600
and the canned goods So 900, mostly insured.
The block is damaged $25, 900; insurance.
$50 900.
At midnight four engines are throwing
water on the Clinton street warehouse. The
fire is still burning stubborniy upon the
second and third floors, but the firemen have
it under control and apprehend no danger
from its spreading. The biting cold renders
the firemen's work extremely difficult and
perilous, especially for those who are obliged
to fight the fire from adjoining roofs. The
large building is completely encased in ice
and presents the appearance of a huge ice
palace. The walls are intact but the interior
will be pretty thoroughly gutted. The losses
will aggregate about 100000 with an insur-
ance of probably so, 900, although the exact
figures cannot yet be Jiven.

The Same Human Nature,

Many vain attempts are made to repeat the re-
markable success Of Benson's Capcne Plaster. This
splendid remedy s known, sold and used everywhere,
and its prompt action and unrivalled curative pow
have won for it hosts of friends. limitations
have sprung up under similar sounding names, such
as "Capsicin." "Capsicum" ETC.. intended to deceive
the careless and unwary. These articles possess
none Of the virtues Of the genuine. Therefore we
hope the people will assist to protect what at
once their interests and ours. Ask for Benson's
Plaster, and examine what Is given you, and make
that the word "Capcne" is cut in the middle Of
the plaster ITSELF and the "Three Seals" trademark
Is on the face cloth. Any reputable dealer will show
you these safeguards without hesitation. II you
cannot remember the name-Benson's Capcins

hymn and remarks OF las, Sunday hav,
passed away like the roses that stood
there BY the altar. An the tables OF the
soul, like those OF The BODY, must Re NJ.
! spread, aud we must all gather around
them again.
Having thus recalled this spiritual
hunger Of humanity, aud marked
now II follows man as shadow
OF the iuauite, what conclusion can
we teach DHt tbs. the "dsily breaoi'
becomes more divine as the days behind
man increaeesa
In childhood we fed upon play and
upon sweets for the tongue. In later
years the soul becomes hungry for
friends, Tor learning. for high happiness,
for charity, for honor.
When the passions OF youth, the envy,
The jealousy, the Naulting ambition, are
dying away and The grandeur OF man and
the glory Of God are beginning 20 illnm-
lne the mountain tops, what daily food
does the soul then crave in its re.
i,ionsf We begin life praying Tor
money or pleasure or fame. We change
our request TIL at last we ask God To
send as wisdom and love and honor aud
liberty A heather In his darkness said:
"Blessed Is the man who Is afraid oi no
one and OF whom no one Is afraid. -
Look 80 the splendid truths OF Christlani-
" and mark what kind OF TODD satisfied
the last years Of Paul and John.
The prayer, "Give us this day our daily
oreadi" expands as man marches
along and rises toward the throne
sweeter Incense IL ought,
hence, to be that man is immortal, for
the hunger Of his soul rises In dignity
ana strength as though he were climbing
a mountain whose summit Is the skies
Feel not then, brethren, that life is dull
routine, and that Its glory departed when
you were young. II any such feeling
peryades you, then are You betrayed by
too much toll or too little. Something
Is breaking your heart. Your pursuit Is
not nobleenOugh, OF else you are wear
ing out body and soul Ia its bondage.
IL should be, for such Is thetternal law Of
God, that each new day were spreading a
new banquet for you, aud that daily bread
were falling from heaven Just for
you. As next June Will come
! with richer foliage aud blossoms
than those OF to-day, so next year Will
come 20 thy soul with better thoughts
and better actions.
Far more than the sen.imonts OF Miss
Martinesu should we love She words of
another woman, who saw the universe
thro' other eyes;
life we've been long together,
Thro pleasant and thro' cloudy weather.
It's hard TO part when friends are dear;
1 Perhaps twill cost a sigh, a tear;
Then steal away. give little warning;
Choose thine own time;
Say not good night" but in somo brighter
cline
Ria me, good morning"
Let us all feel that 1t win require an
other life to furnish full answer TO this
petition. The "daily bread" which
comes here does not satisfy the heart.
We want longer days for our learning
aud friendship and virtue Let us trust
that after this life Is done we shall enter
immortality, chanting In those longer
years the same prayer; "Giyo us this
day our daily bread.n
