LOST AT SEA.
Tho Captain and crew Of n Disabled Vessel
Refuse to Abandon Il and Arc Lost.

| Tho Captain and Crew Of u Disabled Vessel
Refuse to Abandon Il and Arc Lost.
HALIFAX, N. s, Oct 15.-The barque
Mulmerdy, Captain Olsen, sailed from
Quebec October for Greenock with q
cargo OF square timber Sunday night
October 5, it encountered q heavy gale
which caused 1t to spring leak. All
hands were sent to work ut the pumps,
which we're kept going all night, but
tho water gained with such rapldity that
the vessel was waterlogged. The deck
cargo was thrown overheard and the logs
were washed about the deck. Tuesday
the Norwegian bark Nightingale offered
to take the crew of, but Captain Olsen
refused to leave the wreck. The Nor
wegian ship supplied them with biscuits
and water, the first food the sailors had
tasted since the previous Sunday. A
fishing schooner was spoken Wednes-
day which lay by them and supplied
them with food and other necessities as
far as they were able.
At this time the vessel was helpless
wreck. She drifted about in this con-
dition until Sunday, when she struck o
ledge near Roy's island. Then Captain
Olsen, the pilot and fifteen OF the crew
started in the long boat to make an at
tempt to reach shore, but the surf was
so violent that only one man. the pilot,
succeeded in reaching shore, all the
others being drowned. The calamity
was seen by crowds OF people on shore
who made determined efforts to launch
boats, but the sea was so angry that no
boat could live in it.
At midnight one OF the sailors who
still remained on the wreck jumped
overheard and, after desperate exer-
tions, succeeded in reaching the shore.
His name was Samuel Cook. James
Fletcher successfully followed his ex-
ample two hours later. The other four
were afraid to run the terrible risk and
they still remain on the wreck.
Among the lost are Captain Olsen, the
first and second mates and Sailors Nc
Namara, Donovan, Harrison, Hughes,
Mcdonald and Jones The names of
the other seven are not given. Most OF
the men lost belong in Liverpool Eng.
A dispatch from Cape Breton says the
storm was the worst for many years. 1t
blew east and northeast and greatly
helped the shipping, as it ranged paral-
lei with the island. Two fishing YES
sells were lost The sea was the highest
ever known. 1t swept right across the
beach and flooded the houses.

There is always danger of OVERRIDING

What our esteemed contemporary has
to say about booms is evidently aimed
at the towns of this section although
no names are mentioned. The advice
is sound, and as a warning IS alright,
but the advice is not needed here. All
we desire IS to have investors to take a
look at our basis.

A RICHMOND exchange is troubled
at the thought that the new towns of
the State are being built up at the ex-
pense of the old. We do not believe
that this is the case, but are rather in
clined to think that the younger places
help the older by infusing some energy
into them. If they want to keep up
with the procession they must step
lively or get left.

AN ECHO FROM NEW ENGLAND.

-
sit is not alone in the west that we
can look for cities that spring up IN
the day. Roanoke, Va, according to
the DAILY TIMES Of that city
has grown from town Of 400 people
in 1882 to city of 10000 in 1890.
People nine years ago amused them
selves whiting and occasionally shoot
ing ducks. Now there are elegant
public buildings, rolling mills, machine
works, an immense hotel. and the bus
tie of a city. What did it? Rail
roads, coal, iron, and enterprising,
pushing men," The TINES says with
good grace after such a showing,
"Young men, come south. "-Torring-
ton IConn.l Daily Register.
Yes, and they are coming South.
The great industrial edition of the
TIMES scattered all over the country
has brought hundreds of inquirers to
the business men of this city. Read
ing matter clipped from its columns
was copied ia. and wide by our ex-
changes aud this proved to be the most
effective advertisement the city ever
had. In the same issue in which the
above paragraph was printed was also
found the information that two of the
Young men Of the town had taken the
advice $50 South" and will leave there
in few days. Ali We need is plenty
of advertisement. Printers ink is

TO BE BEATEN BY DELAY.
THE FORCE BILL NOT APT TO
BECOME A LAW.

The Republican Members of the Sen
ate Committee on Elections Spend
the Day in Conference With Johnny
Davenport-The Bill Ready to be
Reported to the Caucus.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-Senators Hoar,
Spooner and the other republicans of the
Senate committee on elections spent the
afternoon in the congenial society Of Johnny
Davenport of New York and had congenial
talk on cutting down Representative Lodges
force bill to resemble the Hoar force
bill in such a way as to make it, if
possible, somewhat more palatable to the
north One of the western republican
senators, who is opposed to it, said: "They
are preparing the corpse for burial" and
this seems a fair statement of the situation
The republican senators who are opposed to
the force bill are increasing in numbers
every day, as the quiet influences of north
much more potent than circulars or even
Speaker Reed himself, work their effect.
TO BE BEATEN BY DELAY.
These senators have no present desire to
break with their party, but they are work.
ing quietly and with full confidence of sue
cess TO defeat the force bill by delay. The
tariff bill, river and harbor and other appro-
priation bills, the bankruptcy bill and other
available measures will be used to delay the
bill as much by the republicans as by the
democratic opponents Of the force bill
Senator Hoar will report in the
caucus and in the Senate the ap-
peals of Speaker Reed in the House, but
the liberal republicans will not respond.
The force bill seems to be dead beyond the
power OF caucus resurrection. 1t has died
not because of threats at the south, but be-
cause of warnings at the north. This dis
appoints President Harrison and Speaker
Reed as much as it gratifies James G.
Blaine. Consideration of the bill in COM
mittee has been completed, and it is ready
to be reported to the caucus.
WON'T GO THE CAUCUS.
Senator Spooner said tonight that the
force bill would not be submitted to a
caucus. This is important if it is adhered
to, because il indicates that the republicans
of the elections committee either cannot
trust the caucus to indorse the bill which
Johnny Davenport and they have been con-
cocting out of the Hoar bill, or else that
they cannot expect the republicans to abide
by the caucus decision. In either event it
Is evident they see that the force bill is not
to be gotten before the Senate by the dra-
gooning methods of Speaker Reed, but
but must be drawn in by diplomacy, if at
all.
Representative John F. Andrew, who
returned to-day from Massachusetts, re-
ports, like other observers, the rising tide OF
opposition to the force bill among the busi-
| ness men of New England.

The Crocker Building at Green Cove
Springs in Ashes.
GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FLA, July 21.-
Green Cove Springs had destructive fire
last night.
The two-story brick block belonging to
J. Crocker, containing six stores, was set
on fire at IL o'clock by two negro boys
named John White and Willie Woods.
They had broken into the store on Satur-
day night and stolen therefrom a quantity
of goods and went in again last night, Of
fecting an entrance by the back door.
After the theft they went to the second
story into vacant room adjoining the
| Spring newspaper office and set fire to the
place.
The losses we're heavy, Mr.. Crockers be-
ing in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The entire outfit of the Spring, which
had only been in use about four months,
was completely destroyed, together with all
the books and accounts. There is no insur-
ance on the newspaper or property.
The real estate Office of j. e. Low was
burned, but most of the furniture was
saved.
The household goods Of G. T. Low were
stored in the building and were burned.
He has no insurance.
Mr.. Crocker is north and 1t is not known
whether he is insured or not.
The incendiaries are now in Jail and will
be tried at the September term Of court
The Spring will appear as usual next
Saturday.
NO FIRE DEPARTMENT.
There is no fire department here, and be-
fore the citizens could be aroused the flames
had gained great headway. A bucket
brigade was formed and finally succeeded
in preventing the spread of the fire. At one
time, however, it looked as if the whole
town would be destroyed, and assistance
was asked Of Jacksonville and Palatka.
Before replies had been received the
fire was under control The steamer
Manatee was lying at the pier
and her crew did excellent service. The
burned block was two story brick 1O5x
200 feet erected at a cost Of SIS, 900. Of
the six stores on the first floor five were
occupied by the owners of the block, with a
stock of general merchandise, valued at
S15O000, and one by j. Z. Low, as real
estate office. Nothing was saved fro N the
stores. The second story consisted of small
offices, public hall and printing office
Nothing whatever was saved from this
story. The amount of the insurance cannot
be ascerLained.

FRANCE AND THE TARIFF.
Other European Powers Not Inclined
to Interfere.

PARIS, July 21.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day NJ. Ribot. minister of
foreign affairs, replying to an interpella-
tion of NJ. Dupey in regard to negotiations
with the powers relative to the American
customs administrative bill, said that the
government has been in negotiation with
other powers with the object Of trying to
concert collective action against the bill.
The other powers, he said, were averse to
entering into any engagement in connection
With the matter. M. Ribot declares he
feared further action would defeat its OBJ
ject
M. Dupey said he hoped that NJ. Ribot
would strenuously try to secure from the
United States government moderate appli-
cation of the provisions Of the bill In any
case he declared that the French Gu stoms
commission knows what course to adopt.

BELGIUMs INDEPENDENCE.
A Speech by the King on the Goth An
niversary.


BRUSSELS, July 21.-The Goth anniver-
sary of Belgian independence and the
twenty-fifth year of the reign of King
Leopold was observed to-day with Te
Deum service, in the presence Of the mem
bers of the royal family. the cabinet minis
ter, foreign diplomatic representatives AID
members of the Senate and Chamber Of
Representatives. Afterward q reception
was held at the palace.
A SPEECH BY THE KING.
In responding to an address from the
Senate King Leopold referred to the work
of Belgium in Africa. Belgium, he said, had
taken a great part in the vast enterprise.
and he hoped she would take still greater
part in the future. The object of his life
was to render the country beautiful and
happy. The present session OF parliament
would be occupied with great acts, marking
an epoch in Belgian history. In responding to
an address from the Chamber of Represen-
tatives the king said he deemed the time
opportune to assure to Belgium his African
possessions after the expiration of ten
years, which period was necessary to con-
solidate the Congo state. In the event of
his death Belgium, his heir, would surely
never wish to diminish the extent or i'm
portance Of her new possessions.
