Their Story Of the sinking Of tho British
War-ehip.
CoRUNNA, Nov. l6.-The British gunboat
Lapwing brought the 6erpent's survivors
to C0runnA today. An Associated Press
correspondent boarded the Lapwing, and
had an interview with one Of the survivors
named Burton. He said that when the
Serpent struck. the weather VAS dirty. but
not foggy. All hands were below except
the officers and watchman.
Immediately after the shock, oil rushed
to tho deck. The large boat was lowered,
but it was smashed to pieces, and its
occupants perished. It then became
evident it would b useless to lower other
boats. An attempt to throw cable ashore
also faild. In the meanwhile the men
were being washed overheard. About an
hour after ihe Serpent struck, the captain
gave the men leave to save themselves a.
they thought best
Burton jumped overheard, having belt
around his waist, a. had all the men on
watch. After swimming two or three
hours he landed. in an exhausted condi-
ton. He then met Tuzon, another sur
vivor. and together they walked to . coast
village two miles from the scene of the
wreck, whence some of the villagers con-
veyed them to Camarinas.
Tuzon. who. il still very III, confirmed
Burton's story. Tuzon was washed over
board half IN hour after the ship struck.
He had on ma life belt, but after being in
the water an hour and half managed to
reach shore.
Both Burton and Tuzon believe the Ser
pent deviated from her course owing to bad
weather. They state that the moment the
Cape Villaro light was sighted the Serpent
struck.
When the Lapwing left the vicinity Of
the disaster forty-eight bodies Of the VIC
TINS had been buried. The majority Of
them had not been drowned but killed by
being dashed against the rocks.

a FIorida Man Shoots Several Persons,
and II Himself Fatally wounded.
JAcKsoNvILLE. Fla, Nov. 16.--A very
serious affray occurred yesterday 1T Red
dick. small town fifteen miles north
Of 0caia- George Sanders. . white
man, craxed with whisky, went
into Hagard's store and fred :
shot at Ned Roux. one Of the clerks. 7. p.
Williams and John Friday, standing near.
rushed at Sanders and succeeded in dis.
arming him.
A negro rushed across the street to San.
ders' store and told his brother Bob that
two white men were trying TO kill George.
Bob seized gun, rushed into Hagard's
store and began firing right and
left. Williams was MORALLY wounded.
Another bullet struck young negro and
he fell dead. Still another hit John Friday,
but did not make . serious wound. The
last shot struck negro woman, who came
in at the rear door, and badly
wounded her. During the firing George
Sanders escaped from his captors and
rushed out. when some unknown person
fired = load of fine shot into his face and
head, painfully wounding him. A minute
later, Bob Sanders having exhausted his
ammunition, started to run out Of the
store, when some one In the rear brought
him down fatally wounded with = charge
Of buckshot.
BY this time the whole popula ton. about
260, was on the streets and the widest en-
element prevailed. The Sa nders' faction
would not allow the telegraph operator to
send any messages out Of town
about the matter and nothing was
known Of it elsewhere until Sunday MORN
ing. A deputy sheriff then went from
Ocala with posse and arrested George
Sanders and quiet was restored. The posse
returned this afternoon.

THE discovery of another nihilist plot
against the Gar, this time in Paris, is
an additional evidence of the irrecon-
cilable character of the warfare that is
being waged against existing political
and social conditions in Russia. 1t is in
conceivable that the feelings indicated
by these persistent plottings can exist
without there being something of a
justifying cause behind them. Men and
women do not devote their energies and
their lives to any movement with the
stern determination and answering
fidelity that characterize these Russian
revolutionists simply for the love Of
agitation or because they are naturally
criminal. The outside world knows
little of the internal affairs Of Russia,
but it knows enough to believe that
there is imperative need for administra-
tive reform in the realm of the Car.

MATTHEW S. QUAY still remains silent
under the charge that he stole $3.50, 900
from the state treasury of Pennsylvania
and lost it in speculation. Ii is now
more than six weeks since the Evening
Post brought this charge, citing as wit
nesses to the crime Chris Magee, a
prominent republican politician of Pitts
burg, to whom Quay made confession !;
Don Cameron, senator from Pennsylva-
MIA, who advanced the money necessary
to save the state; and Wayne McVeagh,
ex-attorney general, through whom the
settlement was made. "Unless Senator
Quay takes some notice Of the charges ~
said the Topeka Capital, the leading re-
publican newspaper Of Kansas, month
ago, "the general public will take it for
granted that he is a scoundrel." Sena-
tor Quay has not taken any notice of
the charges, and the general public has
reached the conclusion which the Capt.
tai declared was inevitable if he should
remain silent. But Senator Quay is
chairman Of the republican national
committee. What sort Of a party is it
which allows a proclaimed scoundrel to
remain at the head of its organization

A Kansas City dispatch to the Chi
cago Evening Post, announcing the
death in poverty and wretchedness Of
once beautiful woman, recalls famous
New York divorce case. The woman,
who called herself Mary Stone, died
several days ago in Q rough board shanty
in the district of Kansas City known rs
"Hell's Half-Acre," unattended by any
one except an aged negress, by whom
she was buried. DIR. Curtis found the
woman lying upon a bed Of rough boards
placed like carpenters horses, over
which horse-blanket was thrown,
while old gunny sacks filed with hay
served as pillows. The woman was
dying Of malarial fever and pneu-
monia caused by dissipation and want
This woman was Mrs Mary Living
stone, once the belle Of New York so
oiety. Her father, Samuel Dobson, Of
Peekskill, N. Y, was . wealthy mer-
chant, and his daughter, who was born
in 1854, was educated At the Wesleyan
University at Middletown. Conn. Her
marriage to william @ Livingstone, q
member Of one of New York's wealthy
Knickerbocker families. in 1878 was
the social event Of the season.
In three years no secured . divorce
after sensational trial. in which evil
dence of Mrs. Livingstone's intimacy
with officers Of the British army and
soions of the nobility In Paris and Brus-
sells was adduced. After the divorce
her parents disowned her, but Living
stone continued to furnish her with
money, and she lived gay life in New
York, Baltimore and Washington. In
the latter place she married DR.. fetch
er, who had been connected with the
regular army. Fletcher became q con-
hrmed invalid and went to Florida with
his wife, where he died. He left his
wife large sum Of money and consid-
cradle property. His will was contested
and compromise effected. The widow
then came to Chicago, where she led q
fast life for several years, after which she
moved to Washington and was an efec-
tive lobbyist, being connected with the
Dcgolier pavement bill. After this she
began to fall rapidly. She ran away
with a wholesale clothing merchant, go
ing to San Francisco, whore she WAS de-
serted and left to shift for herself. She
then took the name of Stone In Cali
fornia she became addicted to drink,
and dropped still lower in the social
scale. Her dying words were request
that her people might never know Of
her degradation. The day after her
death she was buried in pauper's grave.

Many stories are told at the expense
Of . well-known German ex-magistrate
Of Cincinnati who has = glass eye. One
day while trying a case with Jury he
fell asleep. but as the glass eye was
open the lawyers and those interested
in kthe case knew it not. nor that their
testimony was all for naught They
only discovered that the genial ]. p. was
sound asleep when one Of the lawyers
arose and asked for the decision Of the
court, and not receiving an answer de-
manded Of the constable what was the
matter. The constable then hastily
awoke the sleepy squire and formally
stated to the assemblage that the eye
which had been open was glass. The
case had to be tried again from the start,
as the magistrate hadn't heard word Of
the testimony.

He Enters = Police station and Is Awake
eued with Great Diniculty.
Constable Taylor was alone at the
Warrington police Office in the early
hours Of a morning in this week, says
the Liverpool (Eng.) Courier, when an
incident happened which disturbed the
stiffness of the night. He was perform
ing some little necessary duty when his
attention was arrested by the clatter Of
feet on the pavement, and gazing
toward the door he saw enter a man
who took a seat, and whose shivering,
rigid limbs and the noises which he
omitted suggested that he was the VIC
tim Of fit.
The constable seized him by the arm,
and oil suspicion of at was dispelled
when the man, yielding to the pressure,
walked with him into the parade-room.
While this was being done the oon-
stable asked his mysterious visitor
where he thought he was, and the
monosyllabio reply OF bed" confirmed
that of1cer in the notion which had en-
tered his head that he was dealing with
o sleep walker. Several likely methods
OF waking the man were thought Of and
tried, but without effect. Bathing the
then dozen runs round the parade
room were taken, but without apparently
any effect upon the somnolent guest
Things were getting to look hopeless
when the resourceful officer determined
upon coup de main which had the de-
sired effect. Having obtained quaint
ty Of snuff the officer pressed the nos
trils Of the somnambulist with one hand
and immediately after with the other
applied copious supply Of the pungent
material. Then there was . tremendous
"Atohsw!" a violent CONFUSION OF the
body, An opening OF the eyes. a bewil-
dered stare and an explanation by the
man that he thought he was in bed; that
he remembered nothing since he retired
the night previous, and that he had had
. similar adventure before.
He was, however, much exhausted,
but under the care Of the policeman, who
administered rsstoratives and provided
him with temporary bed, the patient
dropped of to sleep, which was undis-
turbed and restful for period Of three

THE city of Los Angeles, Cal, has an
ordinance declaring eight hours day
for municipal work. A contractor ar
rested for violating this ordinance at
tackled The constitutionality Of the ordi-
nance on the ground that it was in con-
fiict with the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution, because it discrimi-
mated against contractors and persons in
their employ and prevented man from
selling his labor. Judge Cheney, Of the
superior court of Los Angeles, however,
held the ordinance valid, saying that the
effect of it was not to prevent man
from selling his labor, but to prevent an
employer from enforcing from laborer
more than legal days work by an
agreement which was in violation Of the
