Tie Loss of the Alfred D. Snow.

NAMES OF THE LOST. COW.ARpIN BfII ItNIOR
OF A LIFE SERVICE CAPTAIN.
\ special from Waterford, Ireland, to the
y. Y. Herald says the wreck Of the American
ship Alfred d. Snow, of Maine. can be seen at
low water lying Oh its side on shoa Five
bodies, including that of the captain, have been
recovered as they washed up in the harbor
Among the crew. according to a list found in a
memorandum book in the captains pocket.
We're Capt. W. j. Wiley. J ohm c. Willev, son
of the captain, Thos. Mcmahon. A. b. Stack
p. II. Sullivan, John Lermonl and Robert
Barter, all of Maine; p J. Ledger, of New
York: Geo. +. Dornes and +. W. Firham. Of
Connecticut; John McDougal, of Vermont !:
John johnson. of Chicago; James Harrison.
of Massachusetts; r. Kellogg, of Michigan {;
and James Schooner. of New York.
At the opening of the inquest it appeared
that the captain of the station life boat on the
morning of the wreck refused to put out the
boat on the ground that the weather was too
rough, in which he was supported by few of
his crew. but the majority wished to proceed.
In the port of Dunmore, a short distance
away, We're some ManX fishing boats whose
crews insisted on taking out the life boat in
spite Of its captain by force, and assisted by
the con>enting members of the life boats crew
they pulled to the wreck while the storm was
at its fiercest, but the delay made them arrive
too late to render any assistance, the crew of
the Snow being one by one swept away by
waves in the very sight of the succoring boat.
The latter pulled around the wreck but fruit
lessly. The cowardly captain of the life boat
is in danger of being lynched while the ManN
crew are being made heroes of.
Owing to the above serious allegations the
commander of the local branch of the National
Life Boat Institution held Il meeting Jan. 10th
to consider the advisabilty of holding d pub
lie inquiry in the matter, which was decided
on.
The funeral over the remains recovered was
impressively held the 10th and the whole town
may be said to have mourned the sad fate OF
the strangers.
The body of Captain Wiley has been en-.
balmed and was placed on the steamer City OF
Berlin, which sailed from Queenstown Jan.
II tn for New York.

HARD TO PLEASE. Little Nellie, of West

her mother, and she was greatly pleased with
the Christmas array of dolls.
''Mamma," she said, 81 want baby"

doll in her arms. but she was not satisfied and
still hung about the doll display. Finally half
in fear and half in hope she whispered:

Broken Promises.

The speech Of senator Hale, delivered in the
condition of the civil service, is a masterly eN-
position of the difference between the promise
and the performance of President Cleveland in
line of reform. 1t was not matter of surprise
perhaps that the warmth of the profession of
the candidate should have led honest reform
ers to hope for much from the official. Sena-
tor Hale's speech, not only exposes the base
ness of the betrayal of those who put their
trust try IN the pledges of the Democratic cand,-
ther independent support Of the reform" poll
cy of the President. No other President ever
promised so much and no other ever kept his
promises In mind so little.

The Mineral Production for 1886.

Statistics Of the production of minerals in
this country during the year lSS6 have been is
sued by the United States Geological survey,
Major j. w. Powell director. in a Volume cnti-
tied, "Mineral Resources Of the United States,
1856. The report gives primarily the produc-
ton and value of every prominent mineral
substance mined in the United States. and III
addition 4 compact statement of prices, sources
Of supply and the technical matters which
proved important during the year.
1t appears that the total value of the mineral
products, taken as nearly as possible at the
points of production, was more than S465. .000,-
600, the largest mineral production yet record
ed in any country. In 1SS5 the value was about
S429 100000. Many substances shared in this
increase, but particularly iron and steel, which
alone showed an increase of $4,000, 900.
In 1883 bituminOuS coal was the most Nau-
able mineral product. but in lSS6 it was passed
by pig iron. which had higher total value than
silver and gold combined. Wonderful progress
is shown in the use of natural gas. the con-
sumption being more than double that of 1855
and twenty times that of 1888. 1t is estimated
that the value of the coal displaced by natural
gas in 1856 was more than $9,S00,0O0. This is
slightly less than half the value of the petro-
lpum

and looked in. His mother caught his eye and
