THE OYSTER FLEET
Struck by the BllIzard-TerrIbIe DamRg'
Done.

Struck by the BlIIzard-TerIIble Damage
Done.
BALTIMORE, March 17.-Defuite news
Of the damage done among the oyster
fleets IN the lower Chesapeake is beginning
to come in.
There was great destruction of vessel
property and loss of life.
In the Annamessex river, an arm of the
bay, an unknown schooner was sighted
Monday by the U. S revenue cutter. She
was flying a signal Of distress, and had a
crew OF five or six men. The cutter at
tempted to reach the schooner, but could
not do it on account Of the prevailing hur-
ricane. Other unsuccessful attempts were
made during Tuesday. The vessel was
finally reached Wednesday, but her crew
had been overcome by hunger and cold.
They were found frozen stiff and dead.
There are a number Of sunken boats in
Muddy creek, a branch of the river, aud a
number of dredgers persisted. E. H. Lud-
ington and three men from the sloop
Allen Bird told Of their sufferings and how
they were saved by Bleaching their boat
in the Aunamessex river. They were IN
chored about two miles from Ford's Land
ing during the storm. Before the storm
several schooneIs and pungies were around
them. The schooner Fox dragged both
her anchors, but was not wrecked. The
schooner Eastern Light foundered, and
four of her crew were lost.
1t is impossible now to estimate the full
damage of the storm upon the Chesapeake,
as it will be a week before the returns can
be gathered. From the data at hand be-
tween 100 and 200 vessels were either cast
ashore, capsized or sunk, from thirty to
forty were wrecked, and from twelve to
thirty people were drowned. Most Of the
boats were sloops and oyster schooners.
The damage will run far up into the thou
sands.
I%nundation of the lowlands of the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia Peninsula
caused great loss. On the eastern shore OF
Virginia people were obliged to live in
their attics, without fire or food, and in
one region vessels were carried 500 feet in
land, where the receding tides have left
them high and dry.
Specials from Crisfield report the rescue
of five men from a foundered schooner.
They were in the rigging over ~forty-eight
hours, and shortly after they were taken
off one of them died. The condition of the
others is serious.

ITHACA, N. z, March 1.-THE whole
country around here is terribly excited
over a brutal crime which was committed
near Johannesburg last night. Robert
Barker, q farm hand, went to the house of
Richard Mason, an old man over 20, and
after horribly beating him with a club, he
attacked Mason's wife and beat her head
into a shapless mass of bleeding flesh. He
then poured the contents of a lamp over
the couple, set the house on fire and fled.
Mason recovered sufficiently to crawl
from the burning building into
a snow drift, but his wife's
body was burned to a cinder. The blaze
attracted the neighbors and Mason
told them the story of the crime. Five
hundred excited people were soon scout.

ker was captured and is now in Jail in this
city. Robbery is supposed to have been
the motive for the crime.

its special fitness for her. The story Of
Caprice is simple, and is worked out in q
very primitive dramatic fashion, but the
substance Of it is as true IS it is old.

of wOmanhood, but in the bjjou form. She
sings maybe You Would, but / Doubt,n

comic that ia delightful. She plays with
no consistent art, but with bursts Of eriSi-
nality, individuality and inspiration. " Re-

The cempany's excuse for the fact that
after the accident the engine, mRgage car
and smoker, which were unipjured, pulled
away for Binghamton and left the wounded

realize what they were doing.

Ing Dry Goods Stores
A reporter for the REGISTER yesterday,
by special invitation of the proprietor,
made a tour of the dry goods establish

scribed as having four tlOurs, for Mr.. Good
utilized the Basement for the storage OF
goods, as well as the upper stories, and one
complete depsrtment-that OF sheetings
and general domestics-is located below
the level of the street. The four rooms
filled with the stock Of the house, are each
27x7O feet in dimension, the entire floor
space, including halls, etc, thus being
about a quarter of an acre. In the base
ment, in addition to the storage of domes-
tics, etc, is located the shipping depart
menr, where all goods called for by the
EXTENSIVE wholesale trade of the house, are
boxed up. On the first floor is the retail
department, the stOreroom being one Of
the ~handsomest in the city. The large
apartment is finely finished in cherry
and other hard woods, and ia very light
and cheerful, we'll adapted for the display
ofdry goods. On the second floor is carried
a large stock Of notions, ginghams, calicos
etc, for the wholesale trade, and the bust
ness OF this department is very largely
transacted there. On the fourth floor is
the department set asids for carpets,
Cloaks and wraps Of all descriptions, com
forts and blankets, and goods Of a similar
nature, there being the most ample facili-
ties for the display Of goods,
The building throughout is particularly
well adapted to the uses ofthe firm, and it
has been utilized to the best possible ad-
vantage, and filled with one of the largest
and most complete Stoke ever opened for
the inspection of the Wheeling public.
Mr.. Good has been in business in Wheel
ing for the past four years, having formerly
occupied the building No. 1871 Main

hibited that healthy growth which al
ways follows in the wake Of business

and now he stands in the front rank Of
Weddings dry goods merchants.
