NOT A SIGN OF LIFE LEFT.
A Four-Masted Vessel Founders in PIaiI
Sight With All On Board.

A Four-Masted Vessel Founders in Plain
Sight With All On Board.
BOSTON, Oct. 27.-[Special = Captain
Chute, of the British schooner Seraphim,
which arrived at this port to-day from Bear
River N. S., reports that on Saturday,
when his vessel was 35 miles south of Matt
nicus, he saw afour-masted schooner founder
with all hands The Seraphim had been
in company with the ill-fated vessel all
that day. She first sighted her at daylight,
the four-msster being about half mile dis
tant from the Seraphim. AT P. NJ. the
four-master stood to the eastward, appar-
emily making good weather, notwithstand-
ing the violent gale and high sea. The Ser
aphim soon after stood off in the same direc-
ton.
AT 4 O'Clock passenger on the Seraphim
noticed that the four-master was flying sig
mails of distress. Captain Chute made all
possible haste to reach her. In the effort
the deck load shifted, starting some of the
stanchions, which compelled him to leave
the Seraphim for her own safety. After a
short delay in securing the deck
load from doing further damage
the Seraphim was again headed
toward the distress signals. Before she had
gone far the four-master was seen to take a
sudden lurch to starboard, and gradually
disappeared, going down bow first. On
reaching the point where the vessel was
seen to founder, not sign of her was WIS.,
ible, nor was there any wreekage of any de-
scription to be seen in the vicinity.

FARMERS ENTER A PROTEST
Against Pledge and Platform Plank of the
Republicans.

HARRISBURG. Oct. 27. -[Special IA
delegation of farmers from Dauphin, Lam
caster, Center and Montgomery counties
met here to-day to head of, if possible, the
Republican proposition and campaign
pledge to abolish the mercantile tax system
in the State. 1t is asserted that the farmers
are greatly exercised over the proposition
to abolish the system. About S4OO, 900 an
nually is raised in revenue by mercantile
taxes. If the system is abolished the farm
ers contend that the amount of revenue
must be provided from some other source.
The only avenue open, the farmers say, is
to increase the taxes on personal property
and upon occupations. Taxes on corpora
tions are fixed by law. The farmers own
the bulk of the personal property in the
State and they protest vigorously against
any increase in their assessments. A COM
mittee of the farmers who attended to-day's
meeting was appointed to confer with
Chairman Watres on the subject. They
will insist that the campaign pledge be re-
pudiated.
Senator Jack Robinson left tonight for
Erie, where he will take the stump for the
Republican ticket. His place as a nom
partisan juror will be vacant until after the
election,
