AT Sea in a Blizzard.

NEW YoRK, March 24.-Eight ship
wrecked victims OF the blizzard were
brought here to day by the big British
ship Record. They were Capt. j. T..
Whitmore and the crew of the new and
staunch three mas'ed schooner w. L..
White, which sailed from Duboy, Ca,
on Feb. %, with a cargo of lumber. The
schooner was in perfect condition, when
on the morning of Monday, March II.
about eighty miles southeast of Absecom,
the terrible storm struck her. In less
than tw~enty-four hours she was water
logged and a partial wreck. She was
struggling against the gale under double
reeted fore and mainsails when the shock
that preceded the leak came. The cap
tain thinks the schooner struck part of a
submerged wreck. By noon the schooner
was flush with the sea. The sailors got a
few cans of peas and lobster and a demi-
John of water and put off in a boat. For
tunately the high wind had beaten down
the sea, and there was little trouble in
launching the boat. The only hope of
the crew was in keeping the boats head
to the wind and sea. To do this two men
were kept constantly at an oar to steer,
and a drag made of a piece of mast was
put over the bow.
The water IN the dGmliOhn frOZe on
Tuesday night and broke the demiiohn.
Less than a quart of water was saved, and
thereafter the men had six spoonfuIs of
water a day. The weather became milder
on Thursday and kept on getting better.
The Record hove in sight on Saturday
morning just as the last spoonful of water
had been drank and bore down on Il e
boat. The men were nearly all dead
from exhaustion. They were lifted out
of the boat by ropes. Mate Kemp and
Second Mate Philip are laid up in the
Records cabin with frozen feet. The
captain and crew were frost bitten, but are
able TO be about. The White was owned
by A. S. Ames of Rockland, Me.
- Nothing has been heard from tie pilot
boats Enchantress and the Phantom.
Both vessels have been missing since the
18th inst. 1t is considered strange that
some inward bound vessel has not seen
them. Pilots are of the opinion that the
boats we're disabled. and think that is why
they have not arrived. Each vessel had
a crew of four men on board. The fishing
smack Peter Cooper, with a crew of ter
men, has been missing since Saturday.

UnwhoIesome Lard.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The lard
hearing was resumed before the house
committee on agriculture. Representa-
tives of Fairbanks x Co. testified at
length, defending refined lard as a pure,
wholesome food product. VIM. Bartle.
an ex-pork packer of st. Louis, continued
his testimony. He believed the state
ment that in most of the packing houses
smothered hogs, pregnant sows, and hogs
suffering from cholera were used indis-
c%riminately with good hogs to make
prime steam lard. He could, as a pork.
packer and an experienced farmer, verify
all the statements he had heard about the
manufacture of prime steam lard. He
had only gone out of business because he
could not pursue it longer and deal hon
estly.
When he was in the business he neces-
sarily packed cholera hogs because they
were mixed with other hogs. He had cut
hogs into hams, etc, knowing them to be
diseased, just as every other packer did.
The meat of cholera hogs was not poison,
Gus. One of the crying evils of the time
was the shipping of diseased hogs to mar,
ket by farmers. The man would immor
talize himself who would frame legislation
which would prevent refners and packers
from acting Improperly in the manufac
ture OF food products.
