 dOned and Afterwards Sinks.
 NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Jan. 23.-The Brit ish steamer Lizard, Captain Byrnes, yester- day arrived here and Captain Hughes and the crew of the British steamer Erin, which sailed from Baltimore last Friday for Kings ton, Jam. Captain Hughes states that he struck the storm of Sunday about thirty miles north of Cape Hstteras. A terribly heavy sea was running and the Erin being in ballast rolled badly.
 The first mate was washed overheard, but was rescued after being several hours in the water. The storm continued to rage and about 3 o'clock Monday morning the shaft of the steamer broke, and large hole was made in the tunnel through which immense quan- titles of water poured into her after hold. The pumps were worked full force, but in spite of this the vessel settled rapidly. She managed to keep af1oat until about noon, when in latitude 35. 30, long. 74.17, the Liz- ard hove in sight and took off the crew and four passengers, and the sinking steamer was abandoned.

The Directory for Nurses,

Now well advanced in tue third year of it's existence, has received the confidence and patronage of the public far beyond we had any reason to expect for a new enterprise.
 Hundreds of Nurses have been sent to as many sick rooms, and the fact that, with rare exceptions, entire satisfaction has been given all parties, is sufficient proof that the selections have been judicious. Generally the calls for Nurses have been answered promptly, but in sickly seasons the demand has been greater than the Directory could supply. Upwards of 8 hundred names are on our register, representing the majority of the best nurses in this city and vicinity, both graduates of the Training School and others.
 When the calls are for Trained Nurses, only those are sent who are graduates or recognized schools and have had experience in the private sick room since leaving the Hospital.
 But, bearing in mind the fact that many cannot afford the expense and not every in- valid requires the special skill of the Trained Nurse, we have on our books the names or many desirable nurses who have devoted their lives to the care of the sick, and who are in every respect competent to perform the duties they undertake and for compen- sation below what the services of the Grad- mated Nurses will generally command. It Is the object of the Directory to supply promptly competent nurses, both male and female, for any case which may present, and one within the means of the applicant. The fee for furnishing Nurse is small and much valuable time and expense will be saved by consulting the Directory when a nurse is needed, either in emergency or for future service. ,,
 Any information in regard to nurses will be furnished and all calls by telegraph, mail or telephone will receive prompt attention by E. 1. Washbufn, M. D., Registrar,

The entire cast was composed of artists who did their lines the fullest justice. The situations of the play are strong and the comedy flashes irre- sistible. The stage setting was elegant in every detail, being exactly the same as used at the I.yceum Theater, N. Y., and the cos tuning is fine. The company numbers six teen people and travels at great expense. Negotiations are pending for return engage ment and a reappearanee should pack the house."

SERIOUS CHARGES.

Roadmaster Philip ColwelI Accused
 of Appropriating the City's Funds
 to His own Use.
 John Mansfield of 26 Castle street, Fair Haven, employed as a hostler by the road de- pertinent of this city, has made serious charges in writing against Roadmaster Philip Colwell The paper is in the hands of city official and the matter is to be thoroughly in- vestigated.
 MrMansfeld charges that Roadmaster Col
 we'll has been systematically appropriating to his own use a portion of the money given to him to pay the men he employed. MT. Mans- field is ready to go on the stand to tell all all he knows.
 He says that the men working for the town under Colwell for $1.5 50 day would occasionally be laid of, and that Colwell handed full time into the aldermen, no mat | ter whether they were idle or not. The men, ! however, only received pay for the time they | worked The remainder of the money drawn | from the treasury, amounting some weeks to ! over $25, went into the roadmaster's pocket, Mir. Mansfield says. Another scheme was to have men do work | about his house or for him while they were drawing pay from the town. At one time | he had men employed eight days chopping and saving wood in the Annex, and it was 1 carted to Colwell's home and the men paid in town checks.
 The matter will be brought to the notice of the selectmen.
