WRECKED IN A HURRICANE
The Swedish Bark Anna Maria Aban.
dOned


The British steamer Hay Green, Capt. Black
law, from Huelva Spain, arrived at Philadel-
phia last night, having on board Mate Neil
Svendsen, Second Mate Carl Brown, Steward
Charles Larsen and Seaman Carl Mortensen,
John Kukes, Richard Hartman. William Pill
grim, Antonio Seboan and Jacob Jacobsen of
the Swedish bark Anna Maria, which was ron
dered complete wreck August 81 in latitude
$500, longitude Ga %, in the center of terrific
hurricane. Capt. A. Mortenscn. the master of
the unfortunate vessel, had died of infamma-
ton Of the bowels ten days previous and the
bark was in charge of Mate Svendsen.
Capt. Blacklaw of the Hay Green said yester-
day; Il had just retired at 2 P. m, September l.
when the second mate called me, stating that a
dismasted vessel was in sight, flying distress
signals. We bore down and found her to be
tho Swedish bark Anna Maria, from Mobile
July "a for Wolgath, Prussia, with 900 feet
OF pitch pine lumber. She was complete
wreck. The crew of the bark wanted to leave
her, but their boats were smashed. My chief
officer, w. Ironside, with four seamen, launched
boat with much difficulty, as the sea was run
ming very high, and after several trips sue
ceeded in saving all hands, together with their
effects. After this Mr.. Ironside set fire to the
vessel, SO that she would not form any OBJ
struction to navigation"
The crew Of the Anna Maria presented a sad
appearance, all being more or less bruised
having been thrown about the decks by the
heavy seas which boarded the vessel during
the hurricane. Second Mate Browns head is
badly cut and his face and eyes are terribly
bruised by having been knocked senseless at
midnight August 81 by mountainous sea
which crushed him mp against the bulwarks.
MIR. Brown said they first encountered the
hurricane at noon on August 81, and it kept
growing more severe every hour until mid
night, when the vessel was Invested of all her
rigging. The craft sprang leak and the pumps
becoming chOked she soon filled and became
water-logged. The men toiled all that night
aud until the Hay Green hove in sight tho fol-
lowing day, expecting to be swept from the
deck of their sinking hulk at any moment

AWAITING SENTENCE FOR Observation-Disclosures

caused the death of Agnes Watson by throwing
her into the canal, 10 still in Jail awaiting SEN
tence. Although he was convicted so long ago
the court has not yet sentenced him, nor has
his case been decided in the General Term yet,
on a motion to set aside the verdict. Messrs
Cahill and Ferguson. who made such strong
defense in the case, raised a technical point
that the indictment charged that the woman
was ''mortaliy drowned" Such allegation, they
claim, was not sufficient, and therefore they
ask q new trial.

SHE ROUTED THE POUND MEN.
An Infatuated Cow Defies Her Would
BE Captors.

The enraged animal that caused 30 much ex-
element and injured so many persons in the
neighborhood Of Massachusetts, avenue and Sd
street Wednesday night, as published in yester-
days STAR, was q COW and not bull, as was
reported by the panic-stricken victims and
spectators Of tho brute's rage. The animal
had been sold by Commission Merchant Price
to Butcher Robertson. but there is q dispute as
to whether the delivery was made or not, SO
thatthe present ownership of the COW seems
to be unsettled. After doing all the damage it
could the COW finally entered Thos. W. Smiths
lumber yard, near the Baltimore and Ohio de-
pot, and there the gate was closed behind II.
Although it could not again get loose and take
possession of the streets the COW succee in be-
ing master of the situation within the Enclosure
where it was confined.
Poundmaster Einstein was sent for to take
charge of the animal and his assistants went
with him to the lumber yard, but il was only
few minutes after they entered the Enclosure
before poundmaster and assistants were climb
ing over the fence. When they left the yard
the COW Was still In possession. with every
prospect Of holding the fort indefinitely.
II REMINDS PoUNDMAsrER EISsrEIN OF FORMER
ADVENTURE.
Speaking Of Infatuated animals, Pound
master Einstein said this morning that several
years ago there was q wild bull at the pound
that caused the men more trouble than any
other dozen animals ever did The bull was
picked mp somewhere on 7th street by Police
man Cole. who led it to the pound without
much trouble. but when the gate was opened
the animal refused to enter the yard and gave
the men tussle of an hour or more Finally
the animal broke loose and ran down 23d street,
falling over an embankment into a ravine The
men from the pound reached the ravine before
the bull could get on its feet again and held it
while ropes were tied about its feet and head
When this was done and the men stepped aside
the animal arose and broke the ropes as though
they were threads. The Infatuated animal then
pranced abou. the hill and made several at
tempts to catch the men on its horns and the
attacking party were forced TO use their re-
volvers. Fourteen bullets were put into the
animals head with no apparent effect, and
finally butcher was sent for to kill it, which
he did.

MOB RULE IN WHEELING.
Streets Blockadcd to Prevent the Pas.
sage of Electric Cars.

The street-car strike in Wheeling is assuming
a serious phase. Yesterday another attempt
was made by the officials to run the electric
cars, with poor success. In South Wheeling
the car was mobted, stones and other missiles
being used and the operators badly hurt At
37th and Market streets last night the tracks
were biockaded, rails, cross-ties and bouiders
being piled along the track for a square. At
27th and Chapline streets fence has been
built across the street, and only private vehi-
cles allowed to pass. The company called on
the police for aid and today All attempt will be
made to clear the track There is likely to be
serious trouble. A remarkable feature of the
whole proceeding is that the strikers have
passed resolutions calling upon the mob to dis
perso and take no part in the fight against the
company. Their protests are UNDECIDED, how
ever, and the rabble carry things with high
hand. They have already done considerable
damage to property and several Of the leaders
are under arrest. A riot is feared.

HE ARRESTED MIR. SMYTHE.
Case in Which the Color Line Plays
q Leading Part.

Policeman Trammell Of the second pre- cinct
and a colored girl named Mary Kent were
standing near Kew Jersey avenue and 4th street
yesterday afternoon engaged in conversation,
when an old colored man pushing a clam cart
| came along and looked inquiringly at them
The policeman. after bandying words with the
old man, placed him under arrest. He did not
care to go with the officer and the latter drew
pistol, but did not use it. The arrest was
witnessed by Hon. John H. Smythe, olored,
ex-mlnister to Liberia, and he went to the po-
lice station to look after the interests of the
prisoner. Before he reached there. however,
some words passed and at the station the officer
placed Mr. Smythe under arrest and required
him to leave S. collateral.
This morning in the Police Court the ex-
minister was charged with disorderly conduct
and obstructing the sidewalk
Policeman Trammell and Sergeant Kaucher
were the witnesses for the prosecution The
former told OF the arrest of the clam man and
| of the crowd that followed to the station. He
told the crowd to get back and the defendant
addressing his remark to ono of the boys, said:
You had better go back. You are negroes and
you will get arrested" The officer said that
MIR. Smythe went to the station and wanted to
try the case there.
Sergeant Ranch, also told OF Mr. Smythe's
remark at which he took offense.
MIR. Smythe then told his version of what he
considered the illegal arrest OF the clam man.
He said he had been constantly annoyed by
publlcations OF alleged crime on the part OF
| the colored people here, and seeing the officer
draw his revolver the old man. for no cause
whatever. he thought he would go to the sta
| ton and see what the arrest was for. When
the officer spoke to the boys he (defcudaut)
spoke to them, telling them that they were
negroes and had better go back. He did that
because he wanted them to so back and keep
from getting arrested and also to decrease the
crowd.
After short arguments the court referred to
Mr.. Smythe's character in fiatterinR terms and
said that he did exactly what he had right to
| do. The word negro" the judge said, has
the same effect on some people, policemen and
otners, us the hauatlng OF a red flag before a
| bull. The judge thought it would be better for
all parties If the color line was never drawn
The charge against Mr.. Smythe was dismissed
The clam man failed to appear and his col
lateral of IS was forfeited. The charge against
! HIM was disOrderly conduct
