wrecking vessels will join the Rescue.
On May 20, 1898 the Braak arrived at
Cape Henlopen, in company with cap
tured Spanish vessel called The Snow
whose valuable treasures were secure in
Captain Drew's cabin. The object of
the Braak's commander was to obtain
water and provisions for his crew, who
numbered 213. While casting anchor,
about mile from the lighthouse, sud-
den squall came up and laid her on her
beam-ends, when she Immediately filled

DUBUQUE, Iowa, June 12.-The death
OF Thomas Sutton yesterday ends a case
probably without parallel. A year
and half ago the boy, then IA years of
age, fell from butchers wagon and
hurt his spine. About four months ago
paralysis set in, his stomach became
affected, and for ninety-six days,
ending at the time of his death,
not morsel of food passed
his lips. For while a glass
of wine was given each twenty-four
hours. His stomach soon refused even
this nourishment Then soda-water was
substituted, and for the last thirty days
only pure water was used to moisten his
lips. At the time of his death he
weighed but trife over fifty pounds.
His shrunken skin barely covered his
bones, and he presented terrible pic
ture of emaciation. Through all this
time young Sutton retained his con-
sciousness and recognized his friends
and relatives.

Broadway, New York.
New YORK, June 12.-An explosion OF
gas at the corner of Broadway and Full
ton street, occurred this morning, where
men were excavating for repairs. A
number of men were badly scorched.
The gas continued to burn during the
forenoon, obstructing travel in one OF
the busiest corners of the city.
, At 4 o'clock the gas was still burning
fercely. A serious result is feared.
Ropes have been stretched across Broad
way and Fulton streets, and traffic is
suspended. Large gangs of men are
tearing up the streets, endeavoring to
reach the gas mains to shut off the sup
ply. The gas is burning tiercely
under the streets for hundreds OF
feet in every direction. The mains
are red hot to. much greater distance.
The fire department has been hard at
work for hours pumping water into the
surrounding manholes in vain effort to
cool off the pipes. Just what may hap
pen next no one seems to know. The
