THE WICKED WAVES.
NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 27.-The schooner
George r. Simmons, OF Camden, N, j , was
wrecked off False cape in a storm last
Wednesday night. When the vessel was
first seen sunk in the breakers by the
life-s saving crew Thursday mornlug five
men were ashed III the rigging. One by
one the doomed men had been swept
| away in the sea. Last night two were
lett and at sunset this evening only one
remained, and undoubtedly he will share
, the fate of his shi ip- mates before morn
ing. The life saving crews watched an
opportunity to 60 to the rescue, but the
surf has run too high for the boat to
make an attempt at relief.
A large three-masted schooner, flying
flag of distress, is ashore three miles
outside of Oregon inlet. Assistance will
be sent from here.
The schooner Lizzie Hoynes, lumber
laden, from Savannah TO Baltimore, has
been wrecked on Bodies island. The
captain and steward were saved. Five
men were drowned.
| Mrs. Conklin's cross examination
brought out the fact that within few
days after the disappearance of Cronin
Police Captain Sbanck brought Dinan's
white horse and buggy to her house for
Identification, and that she had failed to
identify the animal. On the 25th of
May, when the animal was brought by
reporter, she identified it. Mrs. Conklin
accounted for this by saying that the cir
cumstances of weather and light were
| different at these times The reporter
| presented the animal under similar con-
| dItions as when the doctor was driven
| away. The cross examination lasted un-
| til late in the afternoon.
Charles Beck, the reporter who drove
| the horse to Conklin's house when Mrs.
Conklin identified it, merely testified to
this effect.
Sarah McNeary, who was IN DR., Gro
Minis reception room when the mysterious
man came for him, gave description of
the individual tallying closely with that
given by Mrs. Conklin.
DR.. Crouin' brother from Arkansas, tes- |
titled briefly to having identified the Lake |
view corpse as that of his brother.
Then Conklin, the saloonkeeper with |
whom Cronin resided, was recalled, and |
testified to starting out the first morn
doctor. At p. O'Sullivau's house the ice
man was seen, and denied having sent |
for him, or that any of his men had been
hurt.
