Thoy Com pIoto their Organization and arc
Addressed by Col. KompIe.
On Saturday evening there was q
called meeting OF the North .Benwood
Republican club at tho Drovers' Home.
The organization OF the club was COM
pleted, and committees appointed to
secure uniforms and n drum corps. At
the conclusion OF the business meeting,
that always popular Republican stump
orator, Col. Jacob Kemple, was called
to the platform and introduced by Pres
ident Samuel Sloan.
Colonel Kempie proceeded at once to-
an eloquent and powerful discussion OF
the tariff issues, and plainly explained
the benefits OF protection on iron, steel
and tin to that particular community.
as many of his hearers were employed
there in the tube and steel works.
He took the manufacturing establish
ments surrounding him rs an object
lesson, and gave graphic description
of the many comfortable houses owned
in, this city and vicinity by the EN-
ployes OF those various manufacturing
plants. Enthusiasm aud applause
greeted every point, as the colonel gave
facts and figures to back his argument.
Several Democrats promised to vote for
Harrison and Dovener, as they want no
free trade in theirs.

A Fine Meeting mt Pine Grove Saturday
Afternoon In tho 81. +. Church.
Last Saturday Capt. B. B. DOyenor
and Charles Burdett Hart addressed n
meeting at Pine Grove, Wetzel county.
They spoke in the Methodist church,
which was packed with as many as
could sit and stand. Persons unable to
got in blocked the doorway and filled
the windows to hear. Mr.. Hart spoke
first and confined himself almost en-
tirely to wool, using that to illustrate
the Democratic tariff policy. CAPTAIN
Dovener followed in strong speech de-
voted largely to state issues. A Demo-
crat who took it into his head to inter
rupt discovered that he had run against
a buzz-saw. There were many Demo-
Gratis IN the audience who listened at
tentively; and there were some present
who have never voted anything but the
Democratic ticket who will vote the Re-
publican ticket this year. The meet
ing was a great success.

DISASTER AT SEA.
WHALING BARK WRECKED OFF
THE COAST OF HAWAII.
The Captain and Seventeen of the Crew
Drowned While Endeavoring
to Reach the shore.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-The steamer
Mariposa arrived from Sydney and Homo
lulu to-day, bringing news of the wreck
of the whaler Tamerlane at the Bluffs of
the Puma, about sixteen miles from Hilo.
Hawaii, February 1st, with the loss of
eighteen men out of the ships company
of thirtY-seven. The Captain and the
first and second officers were among the
number lost According to the stories
told by the survivors, those who stuck to
the vessel were saved, and only those
who tried to escape were lost 1t is
claimed that the cause of the disaster was
that Captain Rowland did not know
where he was, though he was so sure that
the islands were near that he gave orders
for q sharp lookout to be kept. The night
was rainy and squally, and the darkness
was intense. But there was no thought
of danger until the boom of the surf was
heard, and before anything could be done
to eXtricate the vessel from her precarious
position, she struck.
Those of the crew below were sum-
moned to the deck, but it was seen that
there was nothing to be done except to
endeayor to save their lives. Two boats
were lowered. and the Captain and first
officer with others of the ships crew en-
tered them. They were SWamped, how
ever, and all were lost. The men who
were left on the wreck chung to her until
they perceived that she was breaking up
and sinking away under them. Some
leaped-the land was so near-and We're
drowned; others lost hold and were swept
away. Their hope was to cling to the
wreck until returning light showed some
way to the shore, but the violence of the
waves warned them that delay must
mean death. The third mate was during
these hours the mainstay of the men, and
when finally a narrow plank was discov-
cred by which they could Chamber to the
land he was the last to leave the ship.
The list of the lost is as follows: Captain
Rowland, New Bedford. Mass; Charles
Tucker, New Bedford, first mate; Will
lam Dysterman. San Francisco, boat
header; Allen WILDER, New Bedford, sec
ond mate; John Allen, Guaymas, boat
steerer; Harry Scion, Minnesota. car
penter; Fred, British cook: Moses. a
Hawaiian, boat-steerer; Henry johnson,
American, boat-steerer; Michael Sulli-
van, American, steward; Frank Hewitt,
Toronto; Frederick MuSman Swiss; Fred
Kaiser, Scandinayian; John Anderson.
German, ollie Anderson, scandinavian,
and john Jouvett, Boston. all able sea-
men, and George Knowles, San Fran
cisco, ana John Smith, American, green
hands.
The Tameriane was old-timer, having
been built in Maine in 1924. 1t was Can
tain Howland's first voyage in the Pa
cific, although he had made many vow
ages in other waters. The bark cleared
from this port January 18th last, with
thirty-eigbt men aboard, all told. The
Mariposa brought up Third Mate James
w. Pardee and eight seamen.

SENSATION IN PARIS.

a Member of the Diplomatic Service
Shot by an American.
CANNES, Feb. 1S.-The most intense
excitement was caused in the large
American Colony to-day by the an
nouncement that one of the most promi-
nent visitors of the place, Edward Par
ker Deacon, native of the United
States, had shot and killed a
Frenchman connected with the
diplomatic service named Anbeille.
The story is the old one-a handsome
woman mated to a man whom she be-
trays, forgetting, in her infatuation or
fancy for another man, the bringing of
shame and sorrow upon her family.
- Deacon and his wife had been Sojour-
neying for some time past at the Hotel
Splendide with their four children. For
time Deacon has suspected his wife
was unduly intimate with Anbeille, and
kept a close watch. Last night he dis
chamber. He summoned the Secre-
tary of the hotel, and together they went
to Mrs. Deacon's apartment and forced
the door, Mrs. Deacon was alone. The
husband proceeded to an adjoining room,
and there discovered Anbeille attempting
to hide himself behind chair. Deacon
leveled revolver at the man and fired
man.
Deacon was at once arrested, but it is
the general opinion among the American
residents here that he did Just the right
thing"
Another report of the affair says Dea-
con had gone up to Paris, but returned
suddenly and went straight to his wife's
bedroom. Mrs. Deacon, it appears, had
no idea her husband would return so
soon Ru1yOr has that DpapOTl'S nnnN-
pected return was caused by an anonym-
ous letter said to have been written by a
Jealous woman.
When Deacon burst into the bedroom
he found, the story has it, his wife in bed
and NJ. Anbeille standing by the bedside,
evidently having sprung out of bed
with the intention of escaping. After
with terror and crawled from the bed,
fell ON her knees and piteously implOred
him to forgive her, the American is said
to have turned his wrath upon Anbeille,
who had protested the utmost friendship
for the coniding husband, and after up
braiding him fired three shots. The
Frenchman screamed with agony, and
fell back on a mat in front Of the bed and
died.
Deacon then turned to his wife and
said: killing is too good for you; you
shall be reserved for a worse fate. You
shall live to have the finger of scorn
pointed at you during the rest of your
life. Never let me see your deceitful face
again."
Mrs. Deacon at these words gave a
shrek, and fell flat on her face in a
swOon.
The Deacons, or at least Mr.. Deacon.
came from Boston. They have lived
abroad for about fifteen years. Mrs.
Deacon is the daughter of the late Adj
nliral Baldwin, U. 5. N, and wealthy IN
her own right. In Europe and America
they moved in the very best circles. They
have not, it is said, been living happily
for some time.

Three Millionaires Said to be in
Absolute Control of 1t.
JOHN W. MACKAY MENTIONED AS
ONE OF THEM
Special 10 the REcoRD-UxIoN.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-The Tribune says
there are strong indications that the wheat
market is being manipulated, and init
mated that j. d. Rockefeller of the Stand
ard Oil Company, James t. North, the
nitrate king, and John w. Mackay, the
bonanza millionaire, are at the back of it.
The paper asserts that the sales of wheat
on the Chicago Board of Trade alone ag-
gregate 70,000.090 or S0,000,000 bushels,
whereas there are less than 100000
bushels Of actual wheat in the West,
leaving about 10000, 900 bushels which are
really wind sales, and must be covered
at whatever prices the market touches.
The paper says that similar short sales
have been made by the combine i'll all
the principal wheat dealing cities Of this
country and at LIVERPOOL; that last fall
trusted agents were sent to Europe to
ascertain the actual shortage of wheat
there, and that the buying commenced
last December, and has been carried on
ever since by dealers accustomed to
handle small lots, and that they thus,
without attracting attention, have secured
absolute control of the market.
q. !. Webster, of Armour u Co., said
this afternoon that he knew nothing what
ever about the alleged deal, and that the
hrm of Armour q Co. certainly had
nothing to do with it. Other prominent
brokers characterized the story as wild
eyed,o

Anti-Free Coinage Men Endeavorino
to Force a Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The anti-free
coinage men again come forward with a
demand for caucus to relegate the silver
question to the rear until after the Presi-
dental election. A petition was circu-
lated to-day asking that caucus be
called February 18th for the consideration
OF the following resolutions:
