ELEVEN SEAMEGN DROWNED.
The Bark Josie Troop Wrecked
on the Rocky North Carolina

Coast.
NORFOLK. Va, Feb. 23.-The Nova
Scotian bark Josie Troop, with cargo
of chalk and crew of seventeen men,
was wrecked at Z O'Clock last evening at
Chicamicomico, n. G. The master and
ten men were drowned. SIX were
saved. The vessel and cargo are a
total loss. The vessel is badly
broken up and streWn on the beach.
The British bark Josie Troop, which
was wrecked at Chicamicomoco, was
from London on Jan. 81 for Philadel-
phia. The bark was caught in the fierce
northeasterly gale which prevailed yes
terday and last night off the Atlantic
coast. She soon lost her Roadway and
became unmanageable. After drifting
about for some time, she was pitched on
the rocks OH the coast of Chicamico-
mocO. The vessel was so badly dam
aged that she went to pieces in short
time. She was loaded with chalk for
Philadelphia, where she intended to
load for Japan.
The cause Of the disaster was miscal-
culations owing to thick weather, which
made it Impossible to get accurate lights
and bearings. The crew OF Life Saving
Station No. 10 could see no signs of the
vessel until the eleven men had been
lost, and were just in time to save the
six survivors. Thus far only ODE body
has come ashore, that of Charles Medeac.
Following is q list of the saved and lost:
Saved-Robert Hunter, chief mate; Ed
ward Harris. steward: Albert Williams,
A. Brown, Walter Cauley and c. Ander

BANGOR, Me-, Feb. ga serious ac-
cident occurred to the morning train
from Bangor to st. John, near Boyd'S
Mills, two miles east of Kingman, at 10
a. m. Mail Clerk Caleb Palmer arrived
here in the evening train from st. John.
He was on the mail car in the accident
and received some severe bruises. He
tells the store of the accident as follows:
"When the train reached Boyd's Mill,
the scene of the accident, he was sitting
on table in the front of the car. NJ. @.
Mudgett, of Dexter, chief clerk, near
him, with his feet on the stove, and
John Campbell, clerk. was on the
table. When the shock came, the cars
over several times. The train con-
sisted of engine, mail car, baggage,
Pullman, smoker and three pas
senger cars. The first five left the
track, but the other three kept on run
ming upon a side track. The mail car,
baggage, Pullman and smoker caught
fire like flash, being entirely con.
sumed within fifteen minutes, The
train had been running at full speed.
and a misplaced switch caused the de-
railment. Palmer, Mudgett and Camp
bell were held like wise by the timbers
of the shattered car, the former
with part of letter rack over
his legs. and Mudgett under the stove.
Campbell's back was broken. The
dense smoke from the burning cars and
steam from the enging boiler hung over
the mail car. Alt shouted for help.
Mudged cried to Palmer that he was
being burned, and babe him good bye.
Palmer thrust one arm up through an
opening and was seen by Conductor
Chase, who attempted to pull him out,
but was unable to do so. Three others
joined him, and finally succeeded in
removing him in bruised condition.
They were unable to reach Mudgets
and Campbell before they burned to
death. Harry Goodwin, fireman, was
killed, and Julius Angel. engineer, was
cut severely, but none of the passengers
were hurt. The injured were taken to
the Kingman house. in Klngman, where
their wants were attended to. all the
cars were equipped with Sewall heaters.
but the fire caught from the stove used
in the mail car. The main track is but
little damaged, and construction

cleared it of debris.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-'rhere are divers
rumors tonight of a sudden and sensa

Parnell commission. 1t is asserted that
Sir Charles Russell will advise the Par

the commission is drawing to close
there is no doubt, and there is now
possibility that Sir Charles Russell and
his associates will withdraw from the
case and allow the commission to bring
the proceedings to final adjournment
in whatsoever manner the associated
Justices may choose. The verdict of the
public has already been given, and even
the most pronounced Tories admit that
the whole affair has resolved itself into
