CAPTAIN EMERsoN'S STORY.
In the Rigging Until His Hands were
Coveyed v,ift, 1Iic4axc

BIDDEFoRD, Nov. 2S.--Captain Samuel
Emerson, of the schooner Oliver Dyer, which
dragged her anchor and was blown ashore at
Jerry's Point, off Newcastle. N. H., Monday,
describes his experience in the recent storm
as one of the toughest of his life. After the
vessel struck on the rocks be and his crew
took TO the rigging and remained there until
rescued by the life saving crew, whose en-
deavors to release them from their perilous
position and attentions to them at the station
are highly praised by Captain Emerson and
his men. Captain Emerson was in the fore
rigging, and, as the Dyer pounded on the
rocks, had hard work to retain his hold, the
blisters on his hands and bruises on his body
being ample evidence of the terrible ordeal
through which he passed The seaman,
giuseppe Perea, who was lost, had taken to
the after-rigging and was not seen by Cap
tain Emerson at the time he was thrown into
tle sea. Search was made along the shore in
the morning for the body, but up to the time
that Captain Emerson left for Portsmouth it
had not been recovered. The survivors still
remain at the life saving station, where they
are made as comfortable as possible.
Tuesday what remained OF the vessel was
sold for 500. The cargo of coal is strewn
along the cove. 1t was insured for its full
value. Mr.. Goldthwait, to whom it was CON
signed, will lose only $3.50, the amount of
the premium paid on the insurance policy.

BRAVE TEACHERS TRAmPLED ON.
Rafting Steam Pipes Cause Panic
In a ST. Louis School.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-At the Blair school
today, the steam heating apparatus got out
of order and the rattling Of the coils coupled
with escaping steam alarmed the children
who, fearing an explosion, started for the
door. Miss Belkina Kreble, the teacher in
charge got to the door first and prevented a
stampede. Scarcely had order been restored
when the noise in the steam pipes was re-
peated with increased violence and before
Mis- Kreble could reach the door a second
time the terror stricken children had gained
the ball. The faithful teacher was borne to
the floor and trampled upon, receiving. Sc
rious injuries. The excitement spread to
Miss Clara Sickle and the children became
unmanageable there. The shuffiing of feet and
Kissing of escaping steam spread the panic
into room No. IA where Miss Mary p. Miller
was in charge and she too, was thrown from
her feet and trampled upon. The janitOr ap-
peared and did rough but heroic work in pre-
venting the children from trampling each
other to death. Two of the the teachers
Miss Miller ahd Miss Kreble are badly in
jured being trampled upon. Seven pupils
were injured as follows:
Burdick Mickens, badly trampled upon.
Removed in ambulance.
Annie Dodge, severe internal injuries and
external bruises.
Annie Myers, head badly gashed on the
stone steps.
Emma Delenadorf, left arm broken.

Archbishop Corrigan Wants Father
Malone to Apologize.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The effects of the
McGlynn episode are continually being felt
among the Catholic clergy of this diocese.
DR.. Burtsell's testimony in the Mcguire
burial case, which will proably cause him to
be summoned to Rome, is hardly out of
mind, when today trouble breaks out in
another quarter. 1t appears that venerable
priest, Sylvester Malone of st. Peters and
st Paups church, Brooklyn, VINO was to have
officiated at the wedding of 1.-TWO young
personal friends Of his in New York. re-
ceived an order from Archbishop Corrigan
on the eve of the wedding that he would not
be allowed to perform any priestly function
in this diocese until he apologized to the
Archbishop. The subject of the desired
apology was not stated, but it is we'll under
stood that Father Malone's expression of
sympathy with DR.. McGlynn at the time of
the latter's rupture with the Archbishop is
the cause of the present difficulty. The
marriage ceremony was reformed by Mgr
Query. The edding was that of Eugene
Varet and Annie Berry, the bride being a
member of an old Brooklyn family who
have been under Father Malones ministra-
tions near fifty years. Members of Father
Malone's church are said to be much agitated
over the matter.

schooner Percy arrived today from Georges
Banks, having on board Captain Darrah
and Il e crew of the brig Mary Fink, picked
up last evening 25 miles southeast of
Tbatcher's Island. Captain Darrah says he
sailed from Bath Sunday morning for Phila-

to hurricane. The vessel was entirely
stripped of her sails and the heavy sea washed
the decks, carrying away the rails, bnlwarks.
and everything movable. The jibboom and
bowsDrit were carried away, starting the
bow, and she commenced leaking badly
Men were lashed to the pumps, but the
water gained so fast they could not keep her
free and they had to abandon her Monday
forenoon.
When leaving the vessel the sea broke over
her, severely injuring the two mates and a
seaman. They lay by the vessel all Monday
night, suffering severely with hunger and
cold Most OF the men got their feet frozen.
Tuesday morning they went on board
again and found seven feet of water in the
hold. They tried to steer her for land but
there was so much water in the her that it
could not be done. They abandoned her again
as she was about to capsiZe.
Soon after the Percy hove in sight and took
them on board. They were nearly exhausted
when rescued, having had nothing to eat for
in getting the Fink within eight miles of
Cape Ann, when the wind commenced to
blow and they had to leave her.
Many vessels have arrived at Gloucester
today, having lost cables and anchors and
being otherwise damaged.
