DRlFTED TO SEA.
Thrilling End of Pleasure Sailing
Trip.
A Woman Drifts Forty Hours in an
Open Boat.
Her Escort Swims Ashore and Is
Indicted for Murder.

ST.. JOHNS, N. f., May 20.-A French yes
sci landed at st. Georges Bay yesterday
from Saint Malo. She brought lady, Miss
Louise Journeaux, whom she picked up in
an open boat, 20 miles off the coast of the
island of Jersey. This lady went boating
with a gentleman named Fame on the evening
of April 18th, but both oars of their boat
went adrift and the gentleman jumped over
board to secure them. The strong currenl
carried the boat out of his reach, and he was
forced to swim ashore or drown. Miss
Journeaux, alone in the little boat, drifted
rapidly away to sea. The boat almost filled
with water, and the lady for nearly forty
hours lived in solitary and excruciating
agony At length she was fortunately res
cued by the French Banker, on board of
which she received great kindness from the
seamen and officers. A violent off shore
wind prevented the Frenchman from reach
ing Jersey, and the lady was carried across
the Atlantic and landed on the shores of
Newfoundland Fame reached Saint Hilaire's s
harbor in safety, but his story was disbe-
lieved, and people from the shore affirmed
that they heard cries of murder from the
sea. Fame was arrested and indicted for
homicide. His liberation is of course now
certain, Miss Journeaux having cabled yes
terday her mysterious escape.

XLIXth CONGRESS- FIRST SESSION.
SENATE
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, May 20.


After the passage of several unimportant
bills the Staten Island bridge bill was then
laid before the Senate and Mr.. Mcpherson
resumed his speech against the bill.
Mr.. Mcpherson read from the engineer re-
ports and other authorities to show the great
injury that would result to the stream as
medium of commerce.
Mr.. Frye said his predictions had been and
we're today in favor rather Of the Pennsyl-
yania than the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
and rather nfavor of New Jersey than New
York, but after careful and patient attention
given to the subject by the Senate committee
on commerce Mr. Frye had been compelled
by the proofs of;the wisdom and propriety of
building the proposed bridge to yield his as
sent to the proposition. OF course any
bridge at the point indicated would some
what interfere with the water route but the
advantage to the commerce OF the whole
country, and especially of the West by the
building Of the bridge would more than am
ply compensate for the loss to commerce on
the water route.
At2 o'clock the bankruptcy bill was placed
before the Senate and temporarily laid aside
to permit the continued discussion OF the
Staten Island bridge bill.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Vest was
agreed to, authorizing the Secretary OF War,
if he should deem any alterations OF the
bridge necessary, or the entire removal OF
the bridge necessary to avoid obstruction TO
commerce, he may order its alteration or re.
moyal AT the expense of the owners, and If
the bridge be not finished within two years
the right to build shall cease and determine.
Mr.. McPherson's amendment for tunnel
instead Of a bridge was IreJected-yeas D,
nays 40.
After further debate and the voting down
of some amendments, the bill was passed by
a viva yoce vote as reported from the COM
mittee, with the sole addition of Mr.. vest
amendment

Changes in the York county Bar.
[Blddeford Journal


In visiting the court room Of the Supreme
Judicial Court now in session at Alfred, one
cannot fail to notice the great change that
has taken place in the membership Of the
York county bar during the past few years
and the absence of many of the once familiar
faces of those who for many years were con-
slant in their attendance upon the terms of
court in this county. In looking over the
roll of members for period of forty years,
it will be seen it has undergone by death and
removal from the county, almost an entire
change. OF those who were in active prac-
tice forty years ago, nearly all have since
deceaSed-among whom are John Hubbard,
William A. Hayes, John Fairfield, Samuel
Bradley, Frederic Greene, John Shepley,
Joseph W. Leland, Joseph t. Nye, Philip
Eastman, Alexander +. Chisholm, Thomas
NJ. Hayes, Daniel G00denow, Nathan Dane
Appleton, William Cutter Allen, John I.
Paine, Moses Mcdonald, Arthur Macarthur,
Dane, Edward E. Bourne, John Jameson,
Charles o. Emerson, Francis Bacon, IchabOd
G. Jordan, James Otis McIntire, VIM. =.
Haines, Moses Emery, Nathan Clifford,
Hiram III. Hobbs, Caleb b. Aver, Joseph
Dane, Jr., Caleb b. Lord.
OF those who were members at that time
only ten are now residing in the county,
some of whom are still in practice, as fol-
lows: Robert t. Blazo, Increase Sumner
Kimball, Ira I. Drew, Samuel w. Luques,
Edward 5. Morris, Luther 5. Moore, Simeon
P. McKenney and Asa Low. 1t will be seen
that all present members with the exception
of the last named, date their admission to the
Bar subsequent to 1876. The oldest of the
surviving members are Increase Sumner
years ago and Robert I. BlaZo of Parsons
field, So years ago.

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Sell the
Adams Cargo.
Regrets Expressed by New Bruns-
wick Fishermen at the State
of Affairs.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Congressman
Boutelle called at the State Department this
morning with a private telegram received
by him reporting the refusal of the customs
authorities at Digby to allow the American
schooner Jennie and Julia to buy herring
for any purpose whatever. Mr.. Boutelle
was told that the department had not re-
ceiyed any official information of this matter
but would make immediate enquiry.
Today's session of the Cabinet was some
what longer than usual, and mainly devoted
to the consideration of the Canadian fishery
troubles, but action was postponed, it is un-
derstood in order to await the receipt of
more definite and detailed information from
Consul General Phelan at Halifax in regard
to the seizure of the American vessels
adams and Doughty.
Boston, May 20.-There was no little ex-
citement caused along the water front yes
terday by the report that a well-known
dealer in guns was engaged in putting arms
aboard a fishing schooner laying in the har-
Dor. From the facts ascertained, it appeared
that the schooner Augusta Herrick, Capt.
William E. Herrick, left New York four
days ago on fishing trip to the Bay of
Fundy. 1t appears that, hearing OF the
seizure of the Portland schooner by the
Canadians, the owners of the vessel decided
that something must be done to protect their
property. The Herrick accordingly put into
Boston harbor, and her captain went ashore,
Immediately went to a gun store near the
wharf and purchased two thirty-two inch
yacht guns, which were Immediately deliv-
cred on board, together with large amount
of ammunition and small arms Then the
schooner headed down the bay and shaped
along the Canadian shore. The two guns on
board her are unquestionably the finest of
their kind in the world They can be fired
twenty time minute, and will sink any cut
ter there is in the Bay of Fundy.'
HALIFAX, May 20-Consul General Phe-
Ian left here today for Baddeck, and Nlcho-
defence in the case of the seizure of the
schooner Adams left for Boston.
DIGBY, May 20.-The halibut and bait
constituting the cargo of the David j. Ad-
ans, which was advertised for sale by the
Vice Admiralty Court, was set up for sale
today by the sheriff, who, after waiting half
an hour over the, time appointed to
bid, abandoned the sale. The fish had be-
chase. Since the attempt at sale the sher
iff has been served with notice by the
health wardens of the town that the halibut
and bait must be destroyed. Several fisher
men from the north shore of New Bruins
wick are here engaged in selling fish, which
they say :they must dispose of to make
the season profitable one. They express
regret that they are unable to sell to Amer
leans.

POOR GAL TURNER.
The Famous one-Armed Axeman
Dead-His Long Run of Hard Luck.
Lewiston Journal. ]


Calvin Turner of Bethel, Maine, the vet
eran lumberman and river driver died Of
fever at Upper Dam, Tuesday night. A long
and determined run of hard luck for two
years has been that of Cal Turner, and his
death seems a tragic close to it all. Only
few years ago his lwife died at their home
in West Bethel,and the care of the family fell
upon the eldest daughter, girl of rare capa-
bilities, who not only assisted him at his ac
counts but also took the entire charge of the
family Another daughter was at school at
Canada, and things had no more than fairly
settled when early last winter the daughter
at school was taken seriously i'll and was
brought home to Bethel for her sisters care.
The girl patiently attended her and she was
approaching recovery when the house took
fire in the night and the sick girl was remov-
ed upon her bed to the house of neighbor.
She there was hardly recovered before the
elder daughter, her nurse was taken i'll and
after a brief illness died. Things have gone
bad since. May be grief did for Cal. Turner
what all the hardships of the logging camp
or the drive could not have done. He was
famous worker at his business and for one
armed man was one of the smartest hands
with cant-dOg that ever was seen.

proceeds, the interest in the prisoner and his
tors packed the court room to the doors. The
first witness was a barber, John B. Armo:
Maxwell came to his shop on the evening OF
April 6, 1885. His hair and beard were both
very long, and he asked to have the former
trimmed and the latter shaved off. The bar.
ber did this, and Maxwell then asked him if
he could recognize him then if he had known
him when his hair and beard were long.
Witness told him such a thing would be i'm
possible, and Maxwell seemed pleased at his
answer. He talked great DEAL seemed
very nervous, and tried to avoid attention IN
the ShOn.
