a schooner Reaches Boston Minus
Sixteen of Her Men.
BosToN, July 16.-The fishing schooner
Edith Emery, Capt. Patrick Sullivan, ar
rived to-day with only three of
her crew of nineteen men. Sunday
morning, when the Emery was about
seventy miles OFF the Highland light the
missing men set out in a dory to
attend the travis. The weather was verv
thick, and the fog became so heavy as to
shut out all sight of them from the vessel.
The search was kept up until Monday after
noon, the fog horns being blown and as
much noise made as possible to attract their
attention, but nothing could be seen or
heard of them.
THE CAPTAIN NEARLY DISTRACTED.
The captain is nearly distracted over the
loss of the men, although he believes they
have been picked up by passing vessel, as
fishing vessels were numerous at the point
where they were lost. The wind was not
blowing heavily, and he sees no reason for
fear of capsizing, even should the men be
adrift forty-eight hours before being picked
up. All but two of the crew are married
and have large families.

Not at an End by ANY Means.
NEW YoRK, July 16-There is a still but
deep undercurrent running just now in the
interest of the minority stock olders of the
Memphis and Charleston railroad. These
injured innocents, who were marshaled
under the valiant leadership of the late
William Henry Woods. it was thought
might scatter after his untimely death, but
the contrary is emphaticallY true. They
have gotten themselves together within the
last few days, and adopted resolutions Of a
vigorous policy for the near future. The
minority st ok is nearly all held by men
who are financially strong, and they are de-
termlned on securing what they consider
their rights at any cost.
A COMMITTEE OF CONTROL.
A committee of influential financiers,
under the guidance of prominent lawyers,
is to be at once appointed, and that com
mittee will have supreme coutrol in the
minority interest. 1t is not yet possible to
learn the details OF the programme. from
the fact that it is not yet thoroughly
matured, but the ultimate intention of these
minority stockholders Is to assert their
rights as they have been defined in the
courts, and thereby get possession of the
property. Immediately thereafter the road
will be extended to advantageous eastern
connections, which are already determined
upon Lively proceeding may be expected
