LIVES LOST IN SAILING.
Ten Men Drowned in the Sound-A Party

Ten Men Drowned in the sound-A Party
from Port Chester Caught in Gale
and All Missing.
PORT CHESTER, N. Y, July 2-Ten young
men of this village lost their lives in Long
Island Sound Saturday. About Z o'clock
William Hubbard and Burt Flint,
both married and having children,
and Frank Heyworth, Albert Mem
field, Max Smith, Patrick Shea, Michael
Roger, Alexander Desneney, John and
Edward Roberts, brothers, single,
left the harbor in boat twenty
feet in length. It was schooner rugged,
with two small sails. They headed for
Captains Island, about two miles from the
outside the island by boatsmen who
were coming from Long Island. The
sound was then calm, and the party were
having a good time. Their little craft was
loaded down nearly to the waters edge. 4
sudden gale began to blow at o'clock, and
it's force increased so that no ordinary
craft could weather it. Those who knew
that the men from this harbsr were out
in the small boat felt grave apprehensions,
and when they learned yesterday morning
that no tidings had been received from
them they were convinced that the party
had met death in the sound. Their sus-
picions werewen founded. The boat was
found Oh the Long Island shore, near
Oyster bay, having drifted there bottom
side upward. The searching party sent
out from here yesterday accept this as con-
elusive evidence that the men have been
drowned

SHIPPING POULTRY.
How and When Live Fowls Should Be
Sent to Market.

How and When Live Fowls Should Be
Sent to Market.
Shippers should see that the coops
are in good condition before using,
SO that they are not liable to come
apart while in transit, as they
are roughly handled sometimes. The
coops should also be high enough to
allow whatever kind of poultry is
shipped room enough to stand up.
Low coops should not be used, it not
alone being cruel, but a great deal of
poultry is lost every year by suffoca-
ton Coops should not be overcrowded.
In shipping hens and ROSTERS they
should be kept separate. Nothing de-
preciates the value of a fine coop OF
hens as much as to have number of
old cocks among them. Shippers often
wonder why they don't get the highest
market price for their stock. In most
cases this is the reason; good stock al
ways commands a quick sale at best
prices.
Poultry should be shipped so as to
arrive at the market from Tuesday to
Friday. Receipts generally increase
towards the end of the week, and there
is enough carried-over-stock Oh hand
Saturday to supply the demand. Mer-
chants, rather than carry stock over
Sunday would sell at a sacrifice, as the
stock when in coops, loses considerable
in weight, and does not appear fresh
and bright, bes ides Monday is usually
a poor day to sell poultry. Praiyss

Science and Alcohol.

Prof. Alglave, a great French scien-
fist, in recent lecture, says that alco-
hol made from potatoes, corn, rice,
beets, ETC., is seven times more poison
Gus to animal life than if made as for
merly from grapes. Experiments on
animals have demonstrated this to be a
fact. He states that it is owing to this
that the death rate among alcoholic
patients has largely increased. Forty
out of every hundred insane persons he
found had been Incorporate.
1t will be noted that in this country
nearly all the alcohol is made from
corn or other grains, and this seven
fold poison substance, mixed with other
harmful drugs is practically the basis
of all liquors. 1t is no wonder that the
drinkers race is swift and his end sure.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.

A Chicago Woman's Barbarous Way OF
Getting Rid of Drunken Husband
While He Is Stupefied from Drink She
Pours Kerosene Over His Clothing and
Ignites 1.-THE Dies from the Burns
Her Confession.
CHICAGO, July 2.-Mathias Schreiner
was murdered by his wife week ago
last Sunday. She has confessed, and is
now locked up at the Chicago avenue
police station charged with the MUIR
der. The case is one of the most extraor.
binary in the history of crime in this city
Schreiner was carpenter, living at 24
Mohawk street, and the family consisted
of his wife, Mary Magdalen Schreiner. his
mother-in law, Mrs. Wagner. and William
Keiffer, a boarder. Last Sunday, week ago
Schreiner was away all day and became
| drunk. He went home at II o'clock at night
and he and his wife and Keiffer drank sew
eral pals of beer. Mrs. Schreiner tried
to get her husband to bed about midnight,
but he had fallen asleep at the foot of the
| stairway leading to the fiat where they
lived, and would not move. During the
night, or, rather early in the morning, he
was seen running down the alley on fire.
and when stopped and the fire put out was
terribly burned. Death ended his agony on
the following morning. His wife, Mrs
Wagner, and Keiffer denied all knowledge
Of the affair, but yesterday Mrs. Schreiner
acknowledged her guilt Her story, to
which she made an affidavit, is as follows:
"My husband was gone all day Sunday, re-
turning in the evening under the influence of
liquor. We sat down on the stairs and we
had half a dozen pals of beer William Keiffer
was there and left about II o'clock. I sat
there an hour longer, and, as usual, quar-
relied with my husband. About mid
night I went into the house and laid down
upon the bed with my clothes on. At 2
o'clock / got up, and looking out OF
the window, saw my husband lying on
the walk I cen not tell what possessed
me. but I took the oil, and, going out
to where he was lying, poured the oil on his
back. then lighted match and touched it to
his clothing He was covered with fire before
I lett him to run back into the house.
/ staid in my room for few
minnto when I was arrested by
the police. My mother had nothing to
do with it. 1 did not counsel with her
previous to committing the crime. I never
thought of the insurance money and only
wanted to get rid of my husband. will plead
guilty and take the consequences"
While not admitting the fact it is
thought by the police that he was MUIR
dered in order that his wife might secure
an insurance of 81, 900 in the Catholic For
esters. Schreiner had made the policy out
in the name of A. Bozer a friend, but was
induced to change it in favor of his wife a
few weeks ago.

Women and Beer.

The Chicago Tribune quotes a restaurant
keeper in that city as saying that many
women in Chicago are becoming great
beer drinkers. He says: "Ten years ago
the spectacle of woman drinking beer
while lunching was SO rare as to cause
comment. Now they come in droves and
order with the familiarity of veterans their
favorite brands, and many of them have
so far cultivated the failing of their mas.
culine brethren that they are not happy un.
less they also have plate of limburger.
Wines and stronger drinks are little called
for, but the growth of the beer drinking
habit is astonishing, and although am in
the business, to me it is really alarming
The beer propagandism of the present
period, especially among women, as in Chi
cago, and among the young of both sexes,
is the greatest obstacle the temperance re-
form now has to contend with. The doc
trine enunciated by the Supreme Court of
the United States, that the brewery and
the beer saloon are nuisances which the
people of any State may cause to be abated
and destroyed, should be everywhere and
increasingly proclaimed and enforced

COMMODORE KITTSON.
The Famous Pioneer Going to the Legis
lature on Dog SIedge.

The Famous Pioneer Going to the Legis-
lature on a Dog SIedge.
While at Pembina in 1850 Mr.. Kilt
son established line of "Pembina
carts, - which were used to convey furs
from that country to Mendoza on the
Mississippi river and return with
goods, taking the place of the voy-
ageurs who had previous to that time
transported these articles on their
backs in small packs. The shipment
of furs was for some twenty years
made in those carts. The Pembina
cart was two-wheeled concern made
entirely of wood and leather, without
a particle of iron, and would carry
about six hundred pounds. They cost
about fifteen dollars, and were made
by Canadians. In this cart was
fastened an OK or Indian pony, geared
with broad straps of buffalo hide. One
driver could manage several of the
carts by simply guiding the leading OK,
preceding cart. No grease was ever
used on the axles, and their creaking
was frightful and on still days could
be heard for miles. The drivers of
these carts were swarthy, half or quar-
ter breeds, usually clad in a suit of
coarse blue cloth, with a profusion of
brass buttons and red sash around
their waists, into which were stuck a
couple of bowie knives.
The distance from Pembina to Men,
dota was about five hundred miles by
the trail of those days. The caravan
would generally start in June as soon
as there was grass enough for the cat
tie, and the down trip would consume
about forty days. At night the cara
van would be drawn up in a circle and
the men slept on the ground. Sentinels
were posted to watch for Indians. The
men subsisted on game and dried meat.
Mr.. Kittson made many trips with
these trains, and while engaged with
him j. j. Hill, now president of the
Manitoba road, drove many of the
trains. He was engaged in the trade
for himself at one time and managed
his own line of carts. Mr.. Hill is a
very dark, swarthy man, and as he
dressed in buckslzin leggins and blue
blouse, and wore a mass of black hair
all over his face, old settlers say it was
difficult to tell him from one of his half
breed drivers.
In 1859 Mr.. Kittson was elected to
the Territorial Legislature from Penn
bina, and made the trip to ST. Paul in
the middle of winter on snow sledges,
the only means of travel in those days.
He made the trip in sixteen days. His
cariole was drawn by three fine dogs,
harnessed tastefully, with jingling
bells, and driven tandem. They could
make mile in 2:40 when put to their
best speed. They usually Travelled thir-
ty or forty miles day on pound Of
pemmican. Mr.. Kittson was Of robust
health, and enjoyed the hardships of
those early days when he was laying
the foundation of his great fortune.

l ABOUT SHEEP-WASHlNG.
An Unnatural Process That Should Be
Allowed to Fall Into Disuse.

An Unnatural Process That Should Be
Allowed to Fall Into Disuse.
Much has been published in regard
to the barbarity of the usual mode of
washing sheep before shearing. They
are timid animals and particularly fear
full of getting into water 1t is very
difficult to drive flock across stream,
and when one does succeed in doing so
they invariably jump it. They have
an innate dread of wetting even their
feet. 1t is not so with other farm ami
mails. Then when sheep come to be
plunged in by the washers and retained
five or ten minutes, what must be their
feelings? 1t must be shock to the sys-
tenn, and shocks are bad. This heroic
treatment is downright cruelty. Wash
ing removes only the loose dirt from
the wool, and it is doubtful if that en-
braces per cent. of the whole weight
of fleece, yet buyers deduct from 20 to
30 per cent for unwashed wool.
Washed or unwashed, it has to be
secured before manufacturing, and
hence why wash at all? Farmers do it
simply to save such an outrageous
deduction on the price. Three years
ago friend with a. flock Of sixty sheep
did not wash, and said he should not
again; but when he sold his wool he
was compelled to submit to discount
of 20 per cent, amounting to $25, and
now he has returned to the old process.
At wool-buyer's store have seen un-
washed feeces thrown into the general
lot, and it is doubtful if manufacturers
make much difference, if any. In the
absence of desired information as to
the true inwardness of this wool
washing business, it must be concluded
that somebody is taking advantage of
the wool-growers who fail to present
washed fieeces. As soon as they can
get full price for unwashed wool,
minus the weight of dirt washing
takes out, just SO soon will they be
glad to relinquish the unnatural pro-
cess. 1t would be well to test one or
two feeces this season by washing
after shearing, and then one could
know just what shrinkage there is
