LOST IN SIGHT OF LAND.
4 Schooner Goes Down OT antuske And Seven Persons Perish BefOr the Eyes of the Life Saving Service.

A Schooner Goes Down OH N antueket
 And Seven Persons Perish Before
 the Eyes of the Life Saving Service.
 NANTUCKET, Mass, Jan. 12.-At daybreak yesterday the life saving station here sent boats and apparatus to the aid of a large three-masted schooner reported stranded on the south shore. The vessel seemed water logged, her boat was gone and her crew in the rigging unable to help themselves. As the sea was too high for the Hfeboat the howitzer was trained into position and a ball and line were shot over the vessel. The line was seized by the crew and a hawser at- tached to the shore end, but the line parted under the strain and went overheard, taking with it one of the crew, who perished in sight of the crowd on shore.
 A second line was shot over but also parted. A life raft was launched from
 the shore, but was flung back like a feather.
 All of it's crew were drenched and one wa.
 swept off and would have been drowned
 but that the return wave brought him
 within a companion's reach. A third ball
 was then shot over the vessel and the line again parted. At this point two of the men
 fell from the rigging and were drowned.
 One of them proved to be the master, his
 body coming ashore later. The day was far
 spent and in the gathering darkness it
 seemed that no hope was left, but once
 more the howitzer was tried and successfully
 By means of the line hawser and brooches
 buoy were got aboard and two men-sole
 survivors of nine-were pulled ashore. One
 was the chief mate and the other Charles Wulff of Boston, who reported that
 the mates wife and son were drowned in the cabin. The vessel was the T. B. Witherspoon of Rockland, Me, Captain AL fred H. Anderson, from Surinam for Boston with molasses, sugar. cocoa, salted Times and spices The list of the crew and passengers is as follows: Captain Alfred H. Anderson, Rockland, Me-, perished; Mate Burdick Ser ", Bristol, Me, saved; Second Mate Maurice Ryder, Lincolnville, Me-, j erished; John Phillips, cook, West Indies, perish ed; Charles Wulff, Boston, saved; = Nichols, Amsterdam, perished; John Wattis, Liverpool, perished; August Chase, perished; Mrs. Burdick Berry and son, perished The remains of the captain were taken in charge by the Freemasons of Nantucket, he belonging to that order, and the same service is rendered to the child of the mate as he is also Mason.
 The body Of Mrs. Berry has not yet been recovered. The cargo is about all washed out of the vessel and will be total loss. Severe comments are made on the United States life saving station for not having a service rope strong enough to haul the hawser aboard the first time, for more lives would have been saved if the breaking had not occurred.

Seventy Days in a Trance.

COLUMBUS, Neb., Jan. 12.-The news has just reached here from the farmhouse several miles north that Minnie D ishner, Nebraska s sleeping beauty, recovered consciousness Sunday, January 8, the seventieth day Of her cataleptic trance sleep. The roads have been impossible until the present time, and news of her recovery could not be received before. The girl fell into the trance from which she has now revived on October 26. During the long interval she has lain to all appearances lifeless, with the exception of respiration and pulsation. When Miss Dishner awoke her mind was apparently clear and unim- paired, her appetite and general feelings good, but her arms and legs were paralyzed. She says that she was conscious during the whole time of her trance, but though she ex- erted Ter utmost power to evince her con- sciousness, she could not move q single mus ele She said she had no physical pain until the fortieth day of her sleep, when an electric battery was applied. Since then she has suf- fered thousand agonies of body, and at times it seemed as if her mind would give way under the strain, and she now complains of terrible physical sufferings in consequence of the shock to her system. The doctor in attendance says, however, that she will re- cover in short time, and will also regain full use of her limbs

A Terrible Sight For a Wife.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. 12.-A midnight assassination is reported from Solsberry, Greene county. About one o'clock this morn ing the wife of James Dobson awoke to find a negro standing over her husband with an axe uplifted. Before she could stay the up lifted arm the axe fell crushing the victim's E skull and producing instant death. The wife grappled with the negro, but he escaped. He was arrested this evening. He claims that he committed the deed in his sleep, but it is evident that it was -blooded assassina- ton for which no motive is assigned. Threats of assassination are freely made.

 MT.

If they had been taken to the almshouse it had only been that they might be cleaned up pre- paratory to sending them to some public in stitution.
 Mr. Beecher brought up the matter of con- solidation of town and city. He said that it seemed to him that the Board ought to be prepared to do something one way or the other when the proper time came.
 Mr. Reynolds said he was opposed to con solidation from principle. Some might say that he selfish in the matter because he held salaried office, but this was not the case. He said he failed to see, under the scheme proposed, what benefit the taxpayers were to receive by con solidation. He said that the idea of two or three kinds of taxation was mistaken one in his opinion and would result in evil rath- CT than good.
 The discussion then took a wide range MT. Feldman suggested that perhaps it would
 
 ings in order to get expression of opinion the subject and then to act, as servants of the people, on that opinion. He said the management of town affairs was not accord ing to modern ideas, as three or four men had supreme power and there were no safe guards thrown around their management, and they could vote away money as they pleased with no one to interfere if they should do wrong. While he had no fears of the Board doing anything of the kind, yet the fact remained all the same that any Board of Selectmen had it in their power to do about as they pleased. No action was taken on the subject, the opinion being that it had better be deferred until another meeting.
 Bills were approved as follows: General account, $460.3 3S; outside poor, s519.sO; roads and bridges, $569.97 new farm, s71.75; construction, $445. 30; almshouse, s3, 766.15; salaries, 50: general hospital, S1 ,490.21; School for Imbeciles, $62. .23.

The Meeting oftbs Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Ali the members of the Cabinet with the exception of Secre- tary Endicott were present at the meeting to-day which lasted three hours. It is un- derstood that the policy of the administra- tion on the silver question and the probable attitude of Congress on the same subject was discussed. There is good authority for the statement that the question of answering the circulars of the several Senate committees in regard to removals was not considered. The question as to whether or not the Senate should demand from the President the reasons for the removal of Re- publican oficeholders was warm ly discussed in the executive session of the Senate to-day in connection with the confirmation of a nominee appointed to fill a postoffce vacancy caused by the removal of a Republican. The discussion took 8 wide range and showed that there were both Democrats and Republicans who favored and opposed demand on tho President for the reasons which prompted the removal of theSRspublican incumbent No vote was reached and consideration of the matter will probably be resumed tomorrow.

THE COINAGE OF SILVER.


 Ferty.Five Senators Claimed By The
 Advocates of Continued Coinage
 Chairman Bland Urged To Hurry
 Matters.
 BOSTON, Jan. 12.-A Washington special to the Transcript says:
 ''The silver men have made careful can vass of the Senate on the silver question which they say shows forty-fve Senators in favor of continued coinage. There are only eight Democratic Senators for suspension, namely: Senators Hampton and Butler of South Carolina, German and Wilson of Maryland, McPherson of New Jersey, Gray of Delaware, Gibson of Louisiana and Payne of Ohio. On the Repub- lican side twenty-one Senators are against suspension, giving a majority of fourteen against suspension. This renders very little chance for a compromise of any sort. Representative Bland has called a meeting of the Coinage committee for to- morrow He now fully realizes that maj or ity of the committee are favorable to repeal of his bill. The indications are that a compromise measure of some kind will be agreed to and reported to the House at an early day. The leading sil- yer men in the House are urging MT. Bland not to delay action in the committee, but to bring the question before the House as speedily as possible. They claim to have strength enough to defeat all compromise measures and the sooner this is known the better it will be fer all concerned

New Democrats in Congress.

Washington Telegram to the Baltimore Sun
Although there seems no longer any
doubt that the Democrats will have a
majority in the next house OF representa-
tlves, 1t is quite certain that there will
not be near so much ability on that side
Of the house as among the Republicans.
Several OF the best men on the Demo-
cratic side have failed, of a reelection,
aud quite q number Of them were not re-
nominated. The Republicans will have a
very respectable proportion of expe-
rienced and prominent leaders, but the
majority of the Democratic representa-
ton will be composed of new and untried
men. II such thing should happen as
that Mr.. Carlisle should not be the
speaker, the able and powerful Republic
can minority would find it no difficult
matter to run away with the control Of
the house whenever 1t suited them.

A areat Victory.

We think that the administration has
won a great victory, for 1t has held con-
troll of the house Of representatives de-
spite the obstacles which the giving out
of the offices has created.
This is the only instance in which
Democratic administration has, since
Van Buren's time, obtained a majority
OF the house in its second congress.
Polk lost the house in 1876, Pierce lost
II in 1854, Buchanan lost ii In 1858.
The opposition has not Jared much bet
ter Tyler lost 1t in 1912, Fillmore lost
1t in 1854, Grant lost II In 1874, Hayes
lost Il In 1878, and Arthur lost II in 1882.
Lincoln carried the house In his second
yeSr, but the South was not represented
in that congress-, aud In the election OF
1869 Lincoln suffered far more severely
than the present administration has at
the late election. Grant held the house
In 1870, but lost It by decided majority
In 1874.
Cleveland is the only Democratic presi-
dent since Van Buren, who has held ma
jorlty OF the house In the congress which
was chosen during his second year.
The Star saJs II was u great victory,
and without precedent in our later his
bOINs 10 Mihb 10 AuC NlStOEy uutf we
say that Il is due 10 the wise caution and
the arm adherence TO principle and to the
law which the president has shown in the
exercise Of the appointing power. He
has so dealt with the difficult problem
given him TO solve As to satisfy the res.
sonable demands OF party aud still not
offend the conservative sentiment of the
country.
The people are willing that consider
able change in the public service shall
follow upon change Of party In the fed
eral government, out they are opposed to
a wholesale and sudden eviction Of the
| flee holders The Star also believes
that the people are in favor OF enforcing
the oivll-service law. 20 which both par.
ties are pledged and which was passed by
| the concurrent votes of Democrats and
Republicans
We say again, tits a great victory, such
as few living men can remember. The
like Of II has been seen but once during
the last halt century.

FORT WORTH, TExu Nov. 10, 1886

FORT WORTH, TEX, Nov. 10, 1886.
To the Editor OF the Gazette
In my card which appeared in your
paper of the 9tn inst. there were two mis-
takes disappearing me-the first where
it resd as follows; To my friends of both
sides in the late campaign. "Though out of
the city and county during the late strug-
gle," when 1t should have read Through
out the city and county during the late
struggle"
The other mistake is where 1t reads
thus; "What did did honorably, and
thanks be to God, with prejudice;" when
1t should have read ''without prejudice or
malice In my heart against anyone" If
the error is yours l am satisfied that 1t
was an error of the head and not of the
heart; If 1t was an error of mine 1t was
purely carelessness on my part
was not out OF the city, but the hard
est days work have done in some time
was on November 2, Tor the Peoples
ticket, suffering the most intense neural
gia pains in my head aud eyes sll day.
Please correct those two mistakes.
