The Wreck OF the Hattie.

BALTIMORE, March GA dispatch
to the Sun from Ocean City says that
when the brig Hattie of Boston, 7. N.
Sanborn, master, came on shore Friday
afternoon there was terrible sea run
ming. The brig was from Cape Hay
ten, loaded with logwood and bound
for Boston. The crew of the life-saying
station at Ocean City rescued the crew,
consisting of four sailors, two mates, a
steward, the captain and his wife. Not
likely that the brig can be floated. The
Hattie Is hermaphrodite brig of about
1927 tons burden. She parted her
anchors and came ashore during the
fury Of the gale and laid directly OPP
posite Ocean City. The storm was the
most terrific ever known on the Wor-
cester coast of Maryland. No damage,
however, was done the beach, the
hotels nor the cottages. The violence
of the wind in the lower part of the
Peninsula was unusual, amounting
almost to hurricane, prostrating trees
and fences in many places.

A TRrBUTE TO MIR. BAYARD.


General Don NJ. Dickinson.
Detroit Free Press.
In his excellent informal talk at Christ
Church house on Social Life in Washing
ton" eX-postmaster General Dickinson
paid graceful tribute to his former cab
met associate, Thomas i. Bayard. He said:
"'fhe typical American gentleman as
drawn from life, is n familiar figure at
your capital.
"Hemay come Of a long and distinguished
lineage, but he does not vaunt it. He is a
Democrat in the broad sense; believes in
his country and her future is proud of her
progress and feels a responsibility as a
unit of the sovereign people, with public
duty to do as much.
"He is man of wide learning and in
formation, and his reflective mind makes
constant use of its treasures of knowledge;
they are not permitted to mold or to rust.
"A man of the world and a student Of
mankind, his charity for the foibles and
sins of humanity is broad and his judg-
ments gentle. Never arrogant censorious,
or intolerant in discussion, he wins an OPP
ponent by respecting his opinions, while
differing from him, and sends MIN away
in spirit of reflection rather than of con-
troversy.
"To borrow his own apothegm, he never
mistakes rudeness for courage, or violence
for strength
He clothes his ideas in garments of apt
expression, felicitous, beautiful, and al
ways Anglo-Saxon. There is nothing of
the pedant about him. His diction is
pure, like his heart, and is unmarried by
profanity or slang.
"IIe is deferential to all women.
IAN unconscious dignity freezes i'm
pertinence and closes the mouth of vul-
garity, while his gentle manners and win
ming countenance give confidence to the
embarrassed and loosen the tongue of the
modest or the timid. He cares nothing for
mere rank in his intercourse with manly
men-with true American manhood-and
you feel at once, as he grHsps your hand
and greets you, that with him
"'The rank is but thu guinel's stamp,
The mans the gold for a that
$40 enter his home, to partake of his
hospitality in the place where he lives is Il
privilege and delight. At the head Of his
liable his genial grace, the mind, the music
breaking from his face warm and move
the heart of every guest, who, thus inilu-
enced linconsciously becomes not merely
an observer and Il listener, but contribu-
tor to the common enjoyment of all.
This man, by healthful exercise, keeps
his body sound as the repository of his
sound mind. His physique is athletic and
vigorous.
"A scholar, a statesman, an American
gentleman, this figure is not merely an
ideal one and | personify the type, with
which my description must but poorly i'm
press your minds, when | name Thomas
+. Bayard." Great applause.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, March
30.-A delegation of the Wisconsin
Winnebago Indians left this city for
Washington last night. The delegation
was made up of leading members of the
tribe, five from this city and two from
Big Hawks band Shawane county.
Big Hawk, the famous chief, accom-
panied the delegation. 1t is said they
70 to Washington with the hope of Sc
curing 10 per cent of their trust fund of
5000, together with interest on the same,
at the next annual payment. The old
members of the tribe are not satisfied
with the amount of money placed to
their credit. They claim there should
be to their credit nearly $2,000000
money set aside for the Winncbagoes at
the various treaties from 1880 to 1866.

The Heirs of an Indiana Millionaire Leave

COIlector.

The Heirs of an Indiana Millionaire Leave
the State in an Effort to Escape the Tax
Collector.
DELPHI, IND, March 27.-A little
over year ago, Abner II. Bowen died
at his home in this city, leaving for
tune, mostly in personal property, of
SIS, 100000. He had scarcely been buried
when the officials of this county moved
on his estate to collect back taxes on
property that had been hidden from the
assessors and the series of rows it raised
would fill a large book. The elder
Bowen although possessed of millions,
listed for taxes only on few thousands,
but so great was his power that no man
made move during his life time TO com
pei him to pay taxes on all the property
he owned.
The Bowen heirs failed to agree
among themselves upon an administra-
toi and the court appointed the county
treasurer under the statute to act in that
capacity. The heirs fought his appoint
ment as being inimical to the interests
of the state and took the matter to the
supreme court, and the higher court de-
cided against them.
The heirs kept up the fight until
Wednesday, when the attorneys for the
county filed statement with the auditor
asking that personal property to the
value Of over 100000 be placed upon
the tax duplicate against the estate of
Abner IL. Bowen. This demoralized
them. They secretly commenced to
pack up their possessions. Trunks,
valises, satchels and boxes were brought
into requisition and into them were
stored notes, mortgages, bonds and
stocks. With these in their possession
the heirs departed on the midnight train
and the widow is now in Urbana, Hi
nois. Edward Bowen is in Chicago and
A. T. Bowen and Eta Bowen are on
their way to Philadelphia. All have
given up their residence in Indiana ex-
cept Nathaniel Bowen, who retains the
real estate. It is estimated that the
value of the property carried away is in
the neighborhood of $2,000,000.
When the announcement of the re-
treat of the heirs was made yesterday
no one appeared more surprised thar
their attorneys, who declare that they
had not received hint of the intended
flight of their clients. Two reasons are
given for the sensational move of the
Bowen heirs. They desired to get theil
possessions out of the state before the
assessor came around next month to list
property under the new law, and they
also figure on having the tax suits trans
ferred to the United States court on thu
ground that they are non-residents
The bank in this city, owned and oper
ated by the family, is in the hands of Al
assistant cashier and is meeting al
obligations, many depositors havlnl
withdrawn their money. 1t is antici
pated that when the news is generally
circulated in the country a run will bt
made upon the institution,

A Denial That There is Credit of
$4,000 Against Her Share of the Di-
rect Tax.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 3d.
Governor Hovey, Deputy State Auditor
Coons and Deputy State Treasurer Shoe
maker have held a conference concern
ing the notification from Secretary of
the Treasury Foster that the payment of
the direct tax refund would be with
held, pending an investigation of a
former payment of $4,000 to the state
when Isaac p. Gray was governor.
The state officials agree that there
must be an error of some kind in the
treasury department. The state records
show that during Governor Gray's term
of office the state did receive between
$4,000 and $4,000 from the National
Government, but it was returned under
the Swamp Land act Of Congress. at
had no connection whatever with the
direct money now refunded" said
Governor Hovey. Gas soon as | can
get Ex-Governor Gray's statement l
shall telegraph the facts to Secretary
Foster We are entitled to the full
amount of the draft sent us and l shall
insist on receiving it.n

Father CRAFTS Plea for a Needed Change

PROVIDENCE, X. l., March 3d.
Eugene I. McAuliffe of this city yes
terday received a letter dated Pine
Ridge Agency, March 23d, from the
Rev. Francis J. Craft, the Indian mis-
sionary who predicted the recent Indian
troubles and who himself was shot at
Wounded Knee. In the communication
Father Craft earnestly points out the
danger of more serious trouble unless
the Indians are placed under control Of
the war department. He says in part Z:
"As the case stands now the causes
of trouble still exist and Indians and
whites are at the mercy of any rascal
who finds it to his interest to annoy and
endanger them. The only thing that
stands in the way of speedy and per-
manent settlement of all difficulties by
an immediate transfer of the Indians to
the war department is the desire of pol
iticians to retain plumber AS these
politicians are our public servants and
in our power we American citizens
should use that power to turn them out
