FORTY LIVES SAVED
From q Stranded Vessel by Life Savers ne
AsbnrY Park. N. j.

=
Asbury Park, N. y.
AsBURY PARK, March 19.-The new
steel clipper-rigged English vessel Win
dermere came ashore at 9 o'clock Friday
morning at the foot of Deal Lake, North
Asbury Park The sea was running very
high when the fe-saving corps reached
the shore opposite the stranded clipper,
and at first the rescue of souls from the
sea washed vessel with boats appeared
to be impracticable.
The breeches buoy was accordingly
put into use. A line was shot across the
deck of the ship, but those on board of
her We're either panic-stricken or too
ignorant of its use to attempt self-assist-
ance in getting ashore. Instructions
from the shore were shouted out to the
men ON the ship, but were for long
time unheeded.
Finally the line was made fast, high
upon the main mast, and after further
considerable delay one Of the sailors ad-
juated himself securely in the buoy and
slid along the line away from the vessel.
The line slackened somewhat as he
neared the beach, letting him under the
water, in which position he was dragged
to the shore safe but exhausted. he
was removed to the station, and the res
cue of the second was begun in the same
manner and was attended with the sams
difficulty.
The experience of the first two landed
was of no value to those remaining, az
not one of them knew how to use the
breeches buoy.
Directions were painted on a small
blackboard, which was run out to Che
vessel on a second line that followed the
buoy line. These instructions were
promptly followed, and finally all the
crew of forty were safely landed.

Eleven Inches Of Snow inthe Vicinity of
Sew York City.
New YORK. March 10. The snow
which began falling in this city and vi
cinity about 10 O'Clock Thursday night
did not cease until about 10-o'clocl Fri
day morning. and it now lies about
eleven inches on level All incoming
trains were late. The horse car and gen.

peded, and nearly all cars and teams had

most uncomfortable.
On the liver and bay in the early
morning navigation was fraught with
considerable danger, owing to the thick
ness of the snowstorm.
Meager reports from the coast report
the snowstorm as being very severe and
the fall of snow the heaviest of the sea-
son. The wind fortunately was moder-
ate. which doubtless prevented many
vessels from coming ashore.

Another Case of Abnormal Love.

MEMPHIS, March ia case similar
to the infatuation OF Alice Mitchell for
Freda Ward is that of Addie Phillins
and Minnie Hubbard, each seventeen
years old. On Sunday the two girls dis
appeared, and were not found until
Thursday. Miss Phillips, on her re-
turn, said that she and Minnie had been
together.
She told her mother that she loved
Minnie, and would rather be dead than
separated from her. She said that Min
ME was the only person that she could
marry. and this she intended to do. Miss
Phillips is fine looking girl and has
been carefully educated. 1t was agreed
between the parents of the two girls to
separate them, and when Miss Phillips
heard of this she was overcome with
grief.

PRESENCE MIND
No Doubt Saves Great Many
Lives in st. Louis
At the Burning of a Big To-
bacco Factory.

The Four Upper Stories of Liggett q
Myers Immense Establishment Conn
pletely Gutted-The 600 Employees, In
eluding Many Females, Escape with
but Few Bruises--Loss About 5000, 900.
ST. LOUIS, March 19.--At 1886. Friday
morning fire started in the upper floor
of the Liggett & Myers tobacco factory,
and in quick succession, one, two aud
three alarms were sounded, followed by
general alarm. which brought nearly
every fire engine in the city to the
scene. The factory is seven stories in
height, and occupies the square
bounded by Twelfth, st. Charles and
Thirteenth streets.
At the time the blaze was discovered
the factory was filed with about 600
employees, including many women and
young girls. The building was we'll
equipped with fire escanes and stair
ways, and these were soon swarming
with an excited mass of humanity.
The male employees showed remark
able GOODNESS and rendered invaluble as
sistance to the women in descending the
fire escapes, stairways and hastily inn
provised ladders. Some of the women
were overcome with fear and tainted,
while many others were blinded by the
heavy smoke which quickly filled the
upper floors of the immense building.
These were picked up by their male
companions and firemen and carried
down the long stairways to places of
safety It was at first thought that a
number of employees had been over
come by the smoke and We're being
incinerated in the burning building.
Happily, this was not true, and with the
exception of slight bruises, no one was
injured.
Owing to the highly infiamable char.
acter of the material which 1t fed upon,
the fire spread with rapidity and in less
than fifteen minutes the entire seventh
story was q mass of seething Hames
which were famed by a brisk wind
across an alley, and threatened to destroy
the large tobacco storage warehouse adj
joining, which contained thousands Of
tons of prepared tobacco. Despite the
hard work of the fire brigade the flames
worked down through the seventh, sixth,
fifth and fourth floors of the building
and although nearly fifty huge streams
of water were being poured into the
blazing structure, it seemed for time
that the factory was doomed to destruc-
tion.
The firemen were retarded in their
work by the dense volumes of pungenb
smoke and intense heat caused by the
saturated tobacco. After two hours
hard work the firemen succeeded in
gaining control of the blaze and confin-
ing it to the four upper floors.
The loss can not be given as yet, but
it is believed it will fully reach $200, 900.
The fire is So i to have started in the
curing room on the top floor Of the
building, and was probably caused by
spontaneous combustion.

CHATTANOOGA, March 10. John
tluimby, Union soldier, was badly
wounded in the battle of Chicamauga, a
few miles from here, in 1868, and left in
temporary hospital in log cabin on
the field. During his convalescence he
became enamored of Confederate sup
posed widow, one Mrs. Dooley, and
after his term of service expired he re-
turned and was married to her. Four
teen years later her first husband made
his appearance. A compromise was
affected, and Dooley, for $2S in cash,
surrendered his claim to his wife and q
COW he had left early in the sixties. and
went his way alone. Quimby, who had
accumulated considerable real estate,
which the increase in values made val

since, but during one of his intervals Of

took legal advice and was advised by an
attorney that, as the woman in the case
was his Dooley's) spouse in law, th
property in question was clearly his.
and he has come back to enter suit for

WASHINGTON, March 19.-The March
report of the statistician of the depart
ment of agriculture shows that the pro-
ductfon of cotton of the world exceeded
the consumption more than / 100000 of
bales in 1890, and further greatly en-
larges the excess of 1891, glutting the
market, increasing visible stocks during
the past year more than / 100000 bales,
and reducing the Liverpool price of

January, ! 100, to 1-S pence in.
January, 1899. 1t states that in two
years this country has produced an ev-
cess above normal requirements of more
than 100000 bales, and indicates
heavy reduction in breadth as the only
possible remedy, otherwise the agricu
ture of the south will suffer worse than
western agriculture ever has. 1t de-
clares that the cotton states must be ag-
riculturaliy self-sustaining; that new
crops must be introduced, as the agri-
cultural population has outgrown the
capacity of cotton to support it.
