FATE OF THE MAGGIE ROSS.
A Thrilling Story Told by Three Res
cued Seamen.


MARsHFIELD, Ore., Dec. 1.-THE
schooner Annie Gee, which has been ly-
ing outside Coos Bay bar for the past
five days, arrived in this city in tow at
noon today. The Gee had on board
three OF the sailors rescued from the dis
abled steamer Maggie Ross, which was
towed into Yaquina Bay last Friday.
F. Bokland, one of the rescued men,
said:
"As we showed around Cape Arago,
Sunday night, storm struck US from
the southwest with great fury,
blowing away the sails. From that
time we were at the mercy of the gale
and every wave dashed over the vessel
Next day at IL we cut away the deck
load OF lumber, which carried the houses
and everything with it. Steward Amen
sen was killed Tuesday, being crushed
by the lower house. Both ships boats
were stove in and unseaworthy. The
Annie Gee came up with us Tuesday
morning and sent out her boat, which
five of us. including Captain Marshall
and the engineer, managed to reach, not,
however, until the second mate was
lost overheard. Two of US had both
legs broken, and the others of the boat
were lost. The captain and engineer,
at their request, were for the third
time returned to the Ross, preferring to
risk their lives on board the disabled
vessel rather than in the frail ships
boat. 4 will take my chances aboard
ship - were the last words of Captain
Marshall. We left them with one man
dead on deck, one ovesboard, and sew
eral others seriously injured. With
pieces of fence boards which we managed
to pick up, we struggled for hours,
with our boat filling and almost sinking
until we were finally picked up by the
Annie Gee. Captain Marshall seemed
to be more anxious for the safety of the
crew than for himself. 1t is possible
that they constructed a raft, as that was
talked OF as last resort, though lack of
material and their crippled condition
may have prevented this. There is yet
chance for them, but l have little
hope"
Henry Berntzen and Hans Anderson,
the two injured seamen, are now lying
in the marine hospital here, each having
both legs broken. They will probably
recover.

Bank Robber Albertson and His Accom-
plice Sent to the Penitentiary.
TACOMA, WASH, Dec. 12.-Edward AL
bertson, the defaulting cashier OF the
Fidelity Trust company of this city was
today sentenced to ten years in the peni-
tentiary, by Superior Judge Allyn. Fred
N. Chandler, Albertson's friend and ac-
complice, was sentenced to five years in
the penitentiary.
In September last, Albertson took
about $40, 1000 of the banks money, and
being unable to replace it, he took about
$600,000 worth of the banks securities,
and after changing the combination of
the safe, left the city. Next day Presi-
dent Wallace of the Fidelity Trust COM
pany received note from Albertson
agreeing to return the securities OF the
bank, if the bank officers would sign
an agreement granting him immunity
from arrest. In his note, Albertson di-
rected the president Of the bank how to
reach the place across the bay from Ia
coma where he was in hiding. Accord
ingly President Wallace took boat and
went to the place, as directed by Albert
son, aud there found Chandler, to whom
he gave an agreement in return for the
bank securities. Albertson and Chana-
ler then wandered about in the noun
tains for two or three weeks, finally 60
ing to Coos Bay, where they were cap
tured September 11th, Albertson being
shot by one of the deputies who made
the arrest. Both men were brought
here and pleaded guilty.
In sentencing Albertson Judge Allyn
said the plea of necessity which drove
him to the crime was not valid. .As to
the argument of the high standing he
enjoyed in the community this would not
he considered as plea for clemency.
TIE defendant had little reason to ad-
dress the court for mercy. So far as the
court was concerned, the higher the
previous standing of the criminal in the
community the less consideration would
be shown him.
Addressing Chandler, the court said:

THE FRISCO GRAND JURY.
1t Is Not Probable That Judge Wa1lacs
VIII ImpaneI a New One.


Will Impanel New One.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 14.-Superior
Judge Wallace was asked today if, in
view of the supreme courts decision, he
would impanel new grand jury. He
stated that he had not been fully ap-
prised of the supreme courts decision,
and if it appeared that the decision VIZ
not only against further proceedings in
the Bruner case, but also against
further proceedings by the grand
jury, it might be necessary for him
to take some action. Hewould not ask,
however, for rehearing in the Bruner
case. Judge Wallace stated that his
Germ as presiding judge expired in jan
uary, and it might inconvenience his
successor to appoint new jury now.
A remittitur in the Bruner case will
issue when applied for.
1t is said the grand jury may report
as though the supreme court had not
decided against it's legality, and that
4heir report may be looked for on Fri
Teay at the latest.

THE FLORIDA TRAGEDY.
No Clue Yet to the Perpetrator of the
Horrible Crime.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, December A.
Investigation into the New Smyrna
tragedy continues. 1t is now certain
Miss Bruce had terrible struggle with
her assailant. The floors of both rooms
in the cottage are covered with blood
On the curtains and walls blood is spat-
tered thick. When the clearing up of
the rooms began, blood was carried out
in dippers. The conviction is growing
that the murders were com mltted by
somebody belonging to this neighbor-
hood, or at least familiar with the prem
ises and the surrounding country.

THE DYNAMITER's HEAD.
Mr.. and Mrs. Norcross Identify 1t as
That OF Their Son.

Mr. ana Mrs. NorcrOes ldentify 1t as
That OF Their Son.
New YORK, Dec. IA 4-Coroner Mess
mer is reported as having announced
that there were no filings in the teeth
of the dead dynamiter whose head is at
the morgue. Inspector Byrnes hesitates
to acknowledge the Boston Identification
of the dead crank, and the belief
has been created that the officials are
disgruntled and jealous of the reporters,
who outstripped the officials in the
Identification of the head.
A Boston dentist who attended to the
teeth OF Norcross stated that they were
filed. This was the situation today.
from Boston tonight stated that DR..
Edward Coggins, who had been
Norcross's dentist ten years, says
81 have record on my books
of nine filings, inserted for Norcross,
six in the upper and three in the lower
jaw"
The examination OF the bomb-throw-
er's head was confined to the teeth, and
contradicts Messmer's alleged state
ment, and agrees with the showing from
the books of the Boston dentist.
According to the statements of Nor
cross's intimate Boston friends, his
brain had been affected by the excessive
and regular use OF camphor, alum and
sulphur, which he asserted had great
effect in keeping man in excellent
health. He kept camphor in small
bottle, which, frequently taking from
his pocket, he would remove the cork
and with his finger transfer the liquid
to his tongue, repeating the process sew
.eral times, saying it was a most effica-
cious preventive OF disease.
The father and mother of Henry l..
Norcross, of Boston, arrived here late to-
night and will visit the morgue tomor-
row.
At | o'clock this (Tuesday) morning
Mr.. and Mrs. Norcross went to the
morgue and positively identified the
head as that of their missing son. The
old lady was very much affected and
hysterical. They cay there is no doubt
as to the identity, the filings in the
tn and other points convincing them.

ELECTRIC RAILRoAD-YEs.
without Delay In Its Construction.

| N'ho"' Delay In Its Construction.
EDITOR JOURNAL Action has been
taken bv the town council looking to
the construction of an electric railway
between Toledo and Perrysburg. Such
action is opportuno in case the con-
struction of the road is speedily begun.
Ii the object is to delay time in which
to speculate it would be the better
plan to let it drop, and make an effort
on another base of action which will
be presented promptly. To the village
OF Perrysburg the speedy construction
of rapid transit railway is of the
highest Importance, as an accommoda-
tion to the large class of citizens who
live here, but are working in the city,
and also as an inducement by which
Toledo business men and mechanics
may become residents of this pleasant
and healthy village and thus aid in
developing its growth and business
prosperity.
These railroads whenever they have
been put in operation, have by their
ready and prompt facilities given new
impulses to building, and business
enterprises, and prompted rapid |
increase of population in localities
which were tributary to them. Nor
is this all that they are accomplishing.
The electric motor is now being
applied to the transit of passengers
and farm products from the country
districts also. In this age of progress
such are the methods by which the
interests of the public are promoted.
In Cleveland there is an electric road
projected to run 20 miles into the
country touching five towns and eight
post offices which had been left with
out connections by the steam railway.
The road will be equipped with freight
cars that will carry five or more tons
each, and are specially designed for
handling farm produce. Similar roads
are being constructed in association
with other cities, of which Boston and
Minneapolis may be specially named.
BY recent invention it is stated
that Edison will apply electricity to
the motor of the car Independent of
the trolly system and it's cumbrous
array of posts. In such cases the pro-
cess of running the cars will be greatly
simplitied, and becomes more readily
adapted to transit on the country roads.
BY such improved methods of travel
and their adaptation to the require
ments of both town and country, the
welfare Of the whole community may
be greatly promoted by an inter-com-
munication through rapid transit: and
in furnishing ready facilities for in
creased commercial relations between
town and country.
In this transit between Toledo and
Perrysburg the road would pass
through the townships of Perrysburg
and Ross, whose agricultural resources
are unsurpassed by any townships prob
ably in the State of Ohio, and the
population tributary to its traffic will
not be less than 5000. With popu-
lation of such numbers, and with
agricultural, ,and horticultural resources
of such magnitude an electric railway
on this route may be made very prof
liable to those who may construct it.
and highly beneficial to the people of
Perrysburg and those who are living
on its line of route.

WHO FOR SENATOR +?

1t has become the proper thing OF
late for the village papers to announce
the preference of the Republicans OF
the localities wherein they are publish
ed, regarding the Senatorial question
which will be the first aud most
important question to be settled by the
Ohio legislature. In view of this fact,
the JOURNAL has taken considerable
pains to learn the preference of as
many of the leading Republicans of
Perrysburg township as we have been
able to meet, and find that they are
practically unanimous in favoring John
Sherman. No disparaging words were
spoken of Ex-Governor Foraker, but
on the other hand all seemed to have
hopes of his ultimately rising to still
higher position than that of Senator.
Senator Sherman's long and valuable
services to the party; his sound finan-
cial doctrine; unimpeachable integrity
to all that is beneficial to the people
and party has won for him the lasting
gratitude of all.
Many Of the Republicans interviewed
were so strong in their declarations
that they even stated that under no
circumstances would they have voted
for Mr.. james for Representative il
they had not believed he would favor
John Sherman for Senator.
Whether this is exactly the proper
feeling that should exist among Re
publican's during such II campaign as
we have just passed through is doubt
full, but that it did exist we are posi-
tive and if the feeling among Perrys-
burg Republicans is any criterion to
judge by. Senator John Sherman will
certainly succeed himself. as we most
sincerely hope.
