MORNING ~ PEAL.
WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY

The Gd<ette would suggest that
the Legislature pass a measure
that will give the taxpayers mat
erial relief from their burden or
none at ALL No halfway measure
VIII satisfy the people, no COM
promise bill will be accepted by
them. They demand thorough
overhauling in the affairs of State
and county governments and will
be satisfied with nothing less.
The trainers of our present con-
stitution did not contemplate such
an expensive State government as
we have, as the depates int he con-
vention will show. They never
dreamed of giving every officer in
the State Capitol deputy it was
the work of the wiley politician
that they got them. 1t is alleng-
ed that some of our State officers
have forced their deputies to
divide their salaries with them in
order to get in and the principle
has taken the money to California
and left the deputy to do all of
his work for year at a time.
Have the people always got to
submit to that sought of a thing,
GA will the Legislature give us a
breathing spell and stop some of
the Gazette.

EIGHT LIVES LOST in THE SEA.
Heroic Efforts OF the Life-savers Re
warded by Rescuing Ten Persons.

Warueu Dy htesculns len fersouss
Norfolk, Va, telegram: The Norwe-
gian bark Dictator, from Pensacola, Fla !,
to West Hartlepool, England, laden with
pine lumber, with q crew of fifteen and
the captains young wife and little boy OF
8 years, came ashore in a strong easterly
gale four miles south of Cape Henry and
two miles north of Virginia Beach hotel.
The weather was so thick that the vessel
was not seen until O'Clock. and then she
was in the breakers, broadside on, within
a quarter of mile of the shore.
Full crews from two life. saving sta
tions, those OF Cape Henry and Seatick,
under command Of Capt. Drinkwater,
were promptly on hand and began firing
lines to the Inflated bark. The guns could
not deliver the lines so far, though they
were repeatedly fred.
The ship finally succeeded in getting
line ashore tied to a barrel, which the
surf carried to the life.savers The
brooches buoy was quickly rugged and
sent to the vessel, but unfortunately the
barks crew was ignorant of its use, and
the rescue was delayed until Capt. Drink
water of the saving crew wrote in
structions, put them in bottle, and sent
it to the Dictator by the line connecting
the vessel wi ii the shore.
The men on board broke the bottle at
once, as could be seen by glasses from the
shore. and proceeded to carry out the
directions. The first man was delivered
ashore in eight minutes, and seven others
were rescued Four of them came ashore
in n life-boat which was capsi ed, but the
men succeeded in reaching the shore in a
halfdead condition. Che man had his
arm broken.
The captain had urged his wife all dur
ing the day to take the buoy and come
ashore, but she steadily refused, as she
would not leave her husband and child,
and only one could take the buoy at
time. The bark finally went to pieces
and the seven that remained on her have
been lost including the wife of the cap
tain. The captain, just before the ship
went to lieces, sprung into the sea with
his son strapped to his lack and reached
the shore alive, but the boy was lost,
making total of eight lives.
