sHIPwREcKED FISHERMEN.
A Weeks Suffering in the Cold on
Big Spoon Island.

RocKLAND, Feb "A shipwrecked crew
arrived here today by the steamer Pioneer
bound for their homes in Gloucester, Mass.
Their story is one of terrible suffering. They
left Gloucester, January 18th, in the
schooner Eta Gott, fitted for Georges fish
ing On the way to Eastport for bait, on the
18th, they encountered severe snow storm
and ran for what they supposed was Long
Island, but the density of the binding
storm led them astray and they came into
the shelter of Big Spoon Island, near Isle
au Haut, and anchored. Shortly afterward
the wind veered to the north, driving the
vessel upon the shore, when Capt. William
Thompson ordered the cable cut so they
could beach her. They did so and barely
escaped with their lives, by swinging ashore
from the schooner's bowsprit by piece of
the rigging. They were fortunate enough to
find a small cabin ON the island in which
they remained for one week of the coolest
weather of the winter. They managed to
get the stove and .some provisions from the
vessel the day after being cast away and
thus saved themselves from freezing an
starving. The crew of IL men remained in
this little cabin until rescued by q party
from York's Island, who discovered them
from fire beacon they had burning to at
tract attention. They remained upon
York's Island one week, and as soon as the
ice would permit r0wsd from there in d0ry
to Vinalhayen, arriving there Tuesday The
schooner is a total wreck, though probably
the sails and rigging and many other things
will be saved. The following are the names
of the crew:
Capt VIM. Thompson, James Campbell,
Michael Drisc0ll, John McCannon,
James Frazer, Abraham johnson,
Charles Tirrell. William Colson,
Charles johnson, James Caller
Peterson.

MINERS AT WORK.
Pennsylvania coIIIerles Once More
Sending Out Loaded Cars.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb 2-Henry j. Ben
nett, Joseph Cahill and Edward Moore this
morning appeared before Attorney General
Fitzpatrick and presented petition asking
him to issue writ of quo aoarrdnto against
the Reading Railroad, on the ground that it
was violating its constitution by engaging
in mining and carrying coal. The Attorney
General called attention to the fact that this
right was acquired prior to the constitution
of 1874 by legislative contract which the fed
eral courts say cannot be annulled. He also
cited the fact that the entire matter had once
been the subject of legislative action. He
tooek the papers for consideration.
SHENANDOAH, Pa. Feb. 2.-Chairman Lee
and Secretary Duffy, of the joint committee,
called meeting of the William Penn miners
last night. but found they had resolved to
go to work Independently of the railroad
strike. Lee pleaded for them to remain out.
but over 400 regular employees reported for
duty this morning. A few Hungarians who
work in the Penn colliery were intefered
with this morning. Precautions to protect
them in the future were taken. Shenandoah
City collery worked about fourth its usu-
ual force. The West Shenandoah also made
break with small force. Both are Read
ing collieries, and expect an increased force
tomorrow. The Turkey Run mine failed in
its effort to get into operation, but the keh-
ley Run mine worked without hindrance.
John Burns, of this town, was caught beat
ing Polish workman on his way TO the
mine and arrested.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Feb 2.-The miners
joint strike committee has authorized the
resumption of work at any individual col
liery conceding eight per cent advance, stip-
ulating only that the coal shipped shall be
nearest possible point. The Reading Com
pany had 13 collieries at work today.

and through the doors as scholars pass in
and out. In the words Of one of the teach
ers we nave not had any ventilation for
days" AS before said, these fues were
made OF matched boards, were not lined
with tin as they should have been, and, as
result, they have shrunken, and in some Of
them there are cracks wide enough to see
through, which of course admits the bad and
impure air Of the basement. This In turn
passes upwards into the school rooms for
the scholars to breathe. 1t is matter Of
fact that most of the air pupils have
breathed for the last two weeks has come
from the basement or cellar. As brief and
incomplete as this description IS, any one
can readily see that nothing could De great
er failure and nothing more unhealthy
Betwixt overheating and undertaking,
betwixt cold feet and limbs and overheated
heads, betwlxt chills and colds, Oetwixt
open windows and so-called ventilat0rs, be-
twixt impure air generated In rooms and
that rising from an impure basement, be-
twixt dry rooms and those where walls are
saturated, betwixt nervous strain, Irregular
eating, and multiplicity Of studies, Is Il
not a wonder that more pupils in the High
School do not sicken and die? lt Is enough
to exasperate saint to think OF the precious
lives thus exposed to the greatest OF discom-
forts and dangers from day to day.
1t Is enough to make saint swear to think
Of the miserable jobbery, ignorance, nom
sense, and waste that have characterized
this so-called $1,000 improvement from trst
to last.
The attention Of the proper authorities
has been called to this wretched state Of af-
fairs time and time again, but when officials
are busy making up states" and setting
up fences" 1t Is quite useless to expect that
anything so trivial as the physical welfare
and comfort Of hundreds Of beloved boys
and girls will receive much attention. A
distinguished clergyman OF this city who did
more than anyone else to secure the $1,000
appropriation. visited and inspected this So
called system In company with the writer.
After seeing everything with his own eyes
he unhesitatingly denounced II as being the
most outrageous failure he ever saw or heard
of, and feels that parents and citizens ought
to know all about the miserable state Of af-
fairs.
