Fearful Experience of Crew of ship-
wrecked Sailors.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2O.[-Special. I
Captain Watts and his shipWrecked
crew of the American ship John r..
Berry, which burned off the Australian
coast, arrived here on ste amer from
Auckland. The John Berry was loaded
with parafine, and bound from Phila-
delphia to Hioga, Japan. On the night
of January %, a fire was discovered,
which soon spread SO rapidly
that the Captain ordered all
hands to the boats. He and eleven
sailors and one passenger got into one
boat, while the second mate and nine
men went into the second boat. The
ship burned all night In the morning
the Captain could find nothing of the
second boat, and he shaped his course
for the Australian coast, 500 miles
away. So hurried had been their de-
parture from the ship that they found
themselves under a burning tropical
sun with no water. There were stored
in the boats timed meats and biscuits,
which only seemed to add to the thirst.
The heavy seas forced them to work
constantly to keep the boat bailed out.
and several times they barely escaped
swamping. After several days of ter
rible suffering from thirst and expos
ure, they reached the coast and were
rescued. Captain Watts lost $4,000
by thewreck. He is a member of the
firm of Watts 81 Co., of Thomastown,

He Tells of the Position of the Reading

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22,-[Special.
Discussing the reports that the Read
ing company was discriminating
against the return of the miners, Gen
eral Manager Mcleod said Tuesday
night: "We are not victimizing the
strikers, but will faithfully execute oul
agreement to the letter. We have dis
missed some. They were men who haC
been discharged previous to the strike
and who had taken advantage of the
resumption. We never agreed to TAKE
those people back. | don't fear re
newal of the strike, and if it depend!
upon us keeping our agreement, tht
miners will remain at work.

Local Option in Dakota,

BISMARCK, OAK, Feb. %. Especial. !
"A case which has been of great in
terest to the whole Territory came up
and was decided yesterday in the SUI
preme court. 1t was to test the local
option or prohibition law passed at the
late election, for which 81 out of IS
counties voted After much arguing it
was decided that the local option law
must reign supreme in those "a coun-
ties, and the liquor traffic must be abol-
ished in those places, some of which
depend a great deal on the taxes col
lected from liquor sales.

THE FAIR GROUND EXTENSION,

And proposed vacation of the Louis
vile road past the Fair Ground contin-
ues to engage the attention of our tax
paying farmer friends. In today's
DEMOCRAT will appear a long and well
written article from a farmer who
knows the locality and speaks under
standingly. He is, too, a progressive
farmer, and not a trickster and sche-
mer. The columns of the DEMOCRAT
are open to such worthy citizens.
Advocates of the extension and vaca-
ton pose as progressive farmers.
1t is quite apparent their progress is to
relieve the taxpayers of the county of
thousands of dollars in various ways.
The champion advocate of the scheme
suggests that the Louisville branch
could be Strengthened in it's course, and
join the middle branch more favorably
at a cost of some two thousand dollars
only. He does not state, however, what
damages would be claimed by the own
er of the land encroached upon. Per
haps that would be telling too much.
The DEMOCRAT demands that this
matter, If done, be fairly done; that the
people, who are to pay, be consulted
and have a chance to express them
selves. This is fair and eminently
Democratic, Let there be no sneaking
about it. Being public matter the
public have rights therein. At whose
request" did Senator Snyder introduce
the bill? Let the Senator state. Let
us know who the parties are that pro-
pose to accomplish this undertaking
without consulting the people.
We know not how much flat land
there is across the creek from the Fair
Ground that is overflowed at times, but
it is fact that a few days since, after
the breakup, plenty of broken cakes of
ice were hauled away from there. 1t is
not supposed that ice would bother the
fair in that way; and it is possible that
by ditching and improving, the creek
might be kept within bounds even in
flood time.

A SECOND STRIKE
Threatened in the Shenandoah,
Pa, Collieries.
Miners Resume Work, but a Second
Strike Imminent Because the Mi
ners Claim the Operators
Broke Their Word.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Feb 21.+Spec-
ial.l-There was a general resumption
OF work at the Reading collieries here
this morning. Indications are, howev-
er, the men will go on a strike in a day
or two, the company having, as they
claim, broken its avOWment not to vic
timiZe the men. This, they say, was
done in general discharge of engi-
neers and others who refused to hoist
or handle coal during the late effort to
''scab" the collieries. Five engineers, a
boss leader and two top men were dis
charged at West Shenandoah mine,
two engineers at Shenandoah City, two
each at Turkey Run and Kohinoor, and
others are on the list.

George Hill, of New Orleans, Ten Thou
sand Dollars Short and Missing.
New ORLEANS, LA, Feb. 2O.-The
defalcatiOn of George Hill, agent in
this city of the Diamond Match Com
pany, of st. Louis, to the amount of
$4,000, was made public to-day. Hill
was boarding at No. 157 Baronne street
when MI. Hopkins, inspector of the
company, arrived in this city on Thurs
day. Not showing up at all on Friday,
Mr.. Hopkins called at his boarding
house and learned from the landlady
that on Thursday afternoon, Hill came
home and packing up some under
clothes, told her that he was going to
take them to another room he had down
town. Mr.. Hopkins, not being able to
discover his whereabouts, examined
the books, and found he was $4,000
short. Inquiries made by the detec.
tives proved that Hill left the city on
Thursday evening by the Morgan Rail
Road. No further trace of his where
abouts has been obtained. Hill had a
great many friends here and stood
nigh in the community. He was a
member of the Pearl River Hunting
and other clubs, and very congenial in
his habits. He came here from Stark
county, Ohio, where he has relatives.

Mr.. Poorman introduced his substitute

reflects very little creGit upon the
author. The bill provides for COM
mission consisting of the Supervisor of
Public Printing, the Commissioner of
common schools and three educators
to be appointed by the Governor to
purchase school books and furnish
them to pupils at cost. 1t provides for
their purchase from the present pub
fishers, which means Van Antwerp,
Bragg & Company, because they are
the only Ohio publishers and have
several adjoining States allotted to
them by the school book ring. Mr.
Poormsn's bill can offer no relief for
this reason. 1t provides, however, that
if the bids do not satisfy the commits
sion that they may purchase copyrights
and have the books published. NJ.

out of it. Mr.. Clark said that he and
Lytle took hold of the case believing
that they possessed genuine informa,
ton, for which they expected to be
compensated. They also expected en-
plOyment as detectives in working up
the case. Mr.. Clark said that he was
not in the detective business when the
matter was first mentioned to him by
Granville, but had been detective
prior to that time. He was in the news
paper business at the time. He did
not represent himself to Granville as a
detective, nor did Granville know that
he had been engaged in that business.
The matter was first suggested to him
in May, 1887, and
THE FIRST LETTER
to Huling was written not long after
ward, Granville debating the entire let
ter, the language as well as the sub
stance. He went into the case think
ing it perfectly legitimate.
Granville never had given the name
of single witness, but told him that
he knew of witnesses who would testi-
fly. He admitted that he might have
told Huling at their first interview
in Chicago that he had been in Colum-
bUs and gained information on the
case. The witness admitted that he
considered the negotiations for the pur-
chase Of the information a fair and
square transaction.
The witness did not remember that
Nash and Huling told him. in the inter
view at the Neil House in August, that
they would not purchase evidence, but
simply information. AT that time he
asked $4,000.
At the interview at the Grand Pacific
hOtel Mr.. Clark said that they had car
ried out all that they agreed to do in
consideration of the $1,000. Mr.. Clark
and Colonel Duff first learned from Mr..
Huling at one of the Chicago interviews
that Granville was an eX-conyict. In
the language of Mr.. Clark, it took all
the wind out of them.
THE FIRST DEAL.
The direct examination being re-
sumed the witness testified that the
persons who were to be convicted by
the first deal were r. b. Montgomery,
Ed. Young, Emil Kiesewetter, Allen O.
Myers, Tom Cogan, Fred. Steube and
H. J. Booth. He thought that John
Crenane was also in the list, but would
not be positive. He did not remember
that G. T. Blackburn was one of then.
Granville told him upon one occasion
that part of the crime might have
been committed at the penitentiary.
He also said that he would not come
unless well paid for it. He was afraid
that they might make it hot for him.
Mr.. Clark's examination was con-
cluded at 3 p. M, and the next witness
called in the defense was
EDWARD YOUNG,
a candidate for the legislature in this
county at the election in '85. Mr..
Young cOrroborated the testimony of
Messrs. Kiesewetter and Beck as to
getting the papers from the court
house.
He had no whispered conversation
with Allen 0, Myers that evening. Mr..
Myers did not, in his presence, ask
Granville to take a blank tally sheet to
r. B. MOntgomery's house. did not see
Myers and Booth have a whispered con-
yersation.
Mr.. Young swOre positively that he
had no knowledge of the forgery.

sisted principally of specific denials of
