EXPERIENCE OF THE CREW OF THE SCHOONER RAY

Last Tuesday the schooner Ray 8. Farr left Mus
kegOn, Mich, for Chicago. On Wednesday after
noon she went ashore on the beach near Michigan
City, Ind, and her crew reached Chicago Friday
morning. The wind was blowing stiff from the
northwest when the vessel left Muskegon, and
there was moderate sea running, but it was
thought that Chicago harbor could be easily made
with the wind as it then was All went well until
Wednesday morning, just as Chicago harbor was
sighted. just then the wind freshened up to a
gale and veered to the westward. The schooner
had been lying up tOlerably close, and the change
In the wind made 1t impossible for her to keep on
her course for Chicago. The wind grew fierce, and
the cold more intense until every drop Of spray
that struck the vessel frOZe 1t fell, gradually
loading the vessel down on her lee side until she
was nearly on her beam-ends and her canvas
Sa sheets Of e two three inches
sea began to rise and run from the north,
and every wave broke over the vessel, now
30 n the ice w n She South Sas chcsso
was sighted, but the crew were unable to do any
thing towards guiding their vessel and She dr1fted
the crew to get in the stiff, frozen canvas, and it
was brought down, though the sails were broken
In pieces as they were folded on the deck. By this
time the crew OF the vessel were almost dead with
exhaustion. They had been on deck all night
long, and were covered with the frozen spray.
several OF the men were badly frostbitten, and
Capt Grange, who had stuck to his post in the icy
wire rigging, keeping lookout for shore and CIV
ing orders to his brave men On deck was in pitt
full condition. His nose, ears fingers and toes were
frozen n, and he was completely encased IN ice As
saw that all hopes OF making harbor were gone,
and he determined to put his vessel before the
wind and beach her in the sand near Michigan
City: This was done about 2:2O O'Clock. The yes
sci struck the bar about seven miles this side of
the town. She grounded On the bar, and the next
moment tremendous wave came down on
her, sweeping her over the bar and
drenching her with water from stem
10 stern. Another bar lay beyond, and
the schooner struck again and was once more car
ried over by another wave Which froze as it struck
and left the vessel little more than mammoth
iceberg. The schooner struck on the beach, but
II Is very sloping at this point, and the crew
still along distance from Shore The yawl boat was
lowered, but was Immediately struck by cake of
Ice and swamped. The tackle still held and the
boat was regained and the crew managed to crawl
into her and make their way through the field Of
floating ice to the shore, where, almost dead from
the exposure they were cared for by the villagers
In the neighbOrhOOd. The men were In terrible
condition, and the medical force in the vicinity
were kept busy In attending to the numerous
frost-bites. Capt. Oranges injuries were the most
severe, his fingers being perfectly black. They
were lanced, and 1t Is hoped that his hands Will be
saved.

the flesh was burned of. Only one witness knew
anything about the terrible affair. He was col
Ored boy about nineteen years DID, son OF the muir
dered woman. He said that about 10 O'Clock sun
day night some one knocked at McKay'S door.
The ma Or opened 1t and invited the person to a
seat. The man would not sit; he only wanted a
drink OF water. Mckay sent witness to the well
to get fresh water.
Before he got ten steps away he heard gunshots
and his mother screaming: "They have Killed Mr..
Mckay" Witness heard more shots and saw other
pressed to tell who the man was who wanted
water, but said he did not know him.
The witness was badly frightened. The verdict
OF the jury was that the parties were shot and

JURY FIXING In NEW YORK.
Indications Of CrOOkedmessi I'm the Office
Of the Jury Commissioner.

There is growing impression in New York that
an organized scheme to fix juries for the purpose
OF inSur1ng the acqu1ttal of "boodle" aldermen Is
being carried out. Gray, the talesman, who was
approached by Herman Falkenberg, said to be ex-
alderman Farley's agent in regard to the McQuade
trial, swOre that Falkenberg told him he would oe
summoned in the McQuade jury before the sum-
mons had been served on him. This has created
much inquiry as to how Farley or any other person
could obtain such knowledge The general answer
Is that it could only be procured from some one
connected with the Office of the commissioner OF
Jurors. IL has already been more than limited tnat
sce EGent lqsy which stood nine to three TOT e er
aCqulttal OF McQuade, was not drawn WITH the eA-
Pectatlon that it would give an honest orrighleous
verdict. Jury packing was broadly limited at.
Reilly, was appointed to ONCE in 1855 BY Mayor
Grace. He commenced life as a barkeeper In the
Itn ward His fellow barkeeper in Owen Keenans
saloon was John Keenan, now the exiled boOdier,
ana much OF RelyS success in life is attributed 10
lne intimacy then established with John keenan,
Re:lys appointment to his present position as
commissioner OF jurors was obtained through the
influence OF Keenan, and there are those VINO
knowingly shake their heads and intimate that
gested the name Of his odSl friend in 1885 and
mat the disagreement OF the McQuade jury might
possibly be traced to this foresight. 1t Is an open
secret that 1t was to every one connected
with the prosecution that large sums OF money
as much as $500, OOO-would be forthcoming in the
event OF loophole being made through which the
McQuade, the member of the famous board Of
1854 now on trial. is on Commissioner Reilly's
DOnd In an interview with World reporter
lew days ago, Mr.. Reilly said:
Ihe lact that McQuade was on my bond never
occurred to me until this afternoon, when a
reporter asked me If such was the case"
That Mr.. Reilly could have failed to remember
Inat one OF his two bondsmen was the man for
whose trial 1Or bribery he was required to furnish
panel OF Jurors and whose name was in every
ones mouth In connection with the fraudulent
pI S OF such magnitude is regarded on all
Sues as very peculiar. The opinion gains ground
tnat the prosecution have within their lines an
enemy who may defeat their efforts to bring the
justice.
