A CHOICE or DEATHS.


IL Came Near to That witt, u Tugs Crew
an Lake Michigan.
CnIcAao, Nov. 29.--For over an hour to-
day on wintry Lake Michigan four men
stared full In the face what seemed to be
inevitable death. They were aboard the
tug John Miller, which was wrapped in
flames. The vessel was running at full
speed In a great circle. The men had only
buckets to delay the moment when, appar-
emily, they would have TO decide whether to
burn or drown. The tag Welcome sighted
tho fame from the burning ting, but the
waves were running 80 high that the Wei
come was long delayed in reaching the fated
vessel. At last ghe succeeded in steaming
close TO the Miller. and by almost ssper-
human exertiops took aboard the scof0hed
and exhausted seamen. Tho Welcome took
fire and only prompt measures prevented
her destruction. The four men who escaped
from tho Miller were Capt. Peter Berry,
Engineer James Berry. Fireman Newman
and n deck hand. The Welcome WAS under
command Of Capt. Thomas Berry, brother
of the Miller's captain. The rescue tool
place five miles from shore. The fire ia
supposed to have originated in the explo-
sion OF lamp. After driving the engineer
and tho weeelmen from their posts 1t disa-
bled the steering apparatus which had been
set by Captain Berry to head strait for port
instead OF which the tug WAS making a huge
circle that SO nearly proved the doom oi
himself and his men.

BLAINE A WE'LL MAN.


What His Philadelphia Physician Has to
Say About Him.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-The Press to-
morrow will publish the following: To
consult his medical advisor WAS the primo
reason for Blane's trip to Philadelphia.
Blaine learned he was in better health and
strength than four years ago, and year
hence he will be stronger than now. He
learned further that he is as good a man
physically at 81 years (Mr. Blaine's age), as
anybody of like age. The physician said:
"Mr. Blaine is we'll man. For his years
he is sturdy. When began to attend him
last spring he was suffering from acute ILL
ness and was in very bad condition, COM
pletely broken down by overwork,
/ did not know what the outcome would be.
Now there is no doubt in my mind. for bis
health is excellent. He is back to his nor
NAL weight. has good appetite and sleeps
we'll. He has become we'll by the exercise
Of common Dsnse, not medicines. At Bar
Harbor he went our riding 80 far per day,
walked certain distance and played hand
ball a fixed length of time. Before his ILL.,
ness he wns not q man who would take
much exercise. Now he has grown to like
it. If Blaine continues to take care of him
self, see no reason why he should not live
many years longer. He has entered upon a
ripe age, being sixty-one years old, and
takes pleasure in his present strength"

Especial Correspondence Of TIE JNpEPENDkNTl
LONDON, Nov. 16.--Sad news for the Cath
olic world has just leaked out from the
archepiscopal palace of Henry Edward.
Cardinal Manning. at Westminster. II ID
to the effect that the physicians Of the aged
prelate. who is now past 50 years, have or
dcred him to give up work and that the
cardinal archbishop would, as conse-
quence, ask the pope to appoint coadjutor
to assist him in tho labor OF governing his
great see.
This news is significant. Cardinal Man
ming is not the man to give up work or to
share Lis responsibilities with another un-
less compelled by necessity to do no. II he
has done 30, and il ia not entirely certain
that he has, it means that Cardinal Man
ming feels assured that his end is ncar.
Up to very recently the cardinal has been
seen in London looking about as usual. In
deed, the writer saw him in one OF the most
squalid spots in London only short time
ago, pursuing his work among the London
poor. He was clad in simple clerical gaib.
His figure, though thin and bent, still
| arose far above those of ordinary men
whom he met. Standing erect, he would
measure nearly six feet three inches in
stature. His hair was very scant and white
as snow. But it was tho clean cut face Of
this old man that would attract attention.
Over it the skin was drawn like parchment.
It was long, thin, powerful, aesthetic face,
with intellectually in every line and wrin-
kle. In the contour Of the jaw and chin
there were those marks OF decision and
strength of character that stamp the leader
of men. Now and then some passer by
would tender the aged man a respectful
salute, and he in turn would not fail to bow
in graceful courtesy. Again ne would.
pause to pat some ragged dirty faced urchin
on the head and address to the abashed

Prosecuting Attorney Brown, in an in.

nothing whatever TO do with the prosecu-

be called upon to testify, then he might be
imprisoned for contempt, or arrested IN an
accomplice after the fact for assisting in

was paid.

291 People.

SAN FRANcrsco, Nov. GA dispatch from
Manzanillo, Mexico, states that the Ameri-
can steamer Roseville has arrived there and
reports passing the wreck Of the brig Taniti
at sea. She was floating bottom up and the
captain of the Roseville says she must have
been capsized. The rigging had been cut
away on the port side. apparently to pre-
vent this. The Taniti created a sensation
last September by putting into Drake's
bay, near this city, in distress. She had
27O Gilbert Islanders on board, under con-
tract for work in Mexico, at starvation
wages. These men were practically slaves
and there was much talk of seizing the ves-
sci. Collector Phelps however, decided he
had no right to detain her and the brig left.
1t seems almost Gel tain that all on board
were lost, as the ships boats were still with
her and nothing has been heard OF any sur
vivors. The wreck must hayc happened at
