IN IMMINENT PERIL
Italian WOrkmen Adrift on the Ocean
in Open SCOwS.
EIGHTEEN LIVES IN THE BALANCE.

Ehe Tug webster and Four Scows
Still at the Mercy of the Tempest.
Two OF the Scows and the rugboat
Sighted by An Incoming Steamer.
Given Up for Lost.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-The tugboat c.
w. Runyan late yesterday afternoon
rescued fifty Italians from some scows
in Gravesend bay which were flying sig
nails of distress. These are the men re-
ported in danger yesterday. The Ital-
ians were nearly frozen.
The report of the rescue of the tug
Webster and her scows was erroneous.
There were four scows. and of these two
were anchored off Rockaway inlet
after the accident to the Webster. The
scows that We're anchored broke loose
from their moorings and drifted out to
sea. The Webster and her four scows
are as yet undiscovered, so that now there
are total of eighteen men-ten on the
tugboat and two ON each Of the four
scows-at the mercy of the ocean waves.
Given Up for Lost.
Several steamboats, and tugs have been
dispatched to search for the missing
Webster and the four scows, but none
of them have been able to catch sight Of
them. The relief boats lave been sew
eral times forced by stress of weather to
put back to this city. It is all they can
do to save themselves when once beyond
Sandy Hook, and the chances in favor of
the rescue Of the storm driven boats
grow smaller with every hour that
goes by.
The relatives and friends Of the eight
cen missing men have well nigh given
up hope Of seeing them again alive. All
persons In o position TO give an opinion
upon the subject unto in saying that
the chances Of escape for the storm
driven men are IS one out Of thousand.
The British steamer Stronton has az
rived at Quarantine, and reports Nat on
Tuesday afternoon 1t $50 she passed
two scows adrift about three miles of
Long Branch, and three miles south OF
them sighted tugboat which was sp-
parently anchored, bat which may pos
sibly have bcen disabled. II is thought
thst this may b the missing tug Web
ster, which has not yst bssn heard from.

FIRE AND FROST.
Terrible Experience of Female
College Students.

SPARTANsBURG, s. c., Jan. Icon
vers college, situated in large grove,
one mile from Spartanburg and over
half mile from the nearest house, was
burned Saturday night. 1t was built
about two years ago at an expense of
100000 and received its name from Col.
Convers. who was its most yea lous pro-
moter. The building accommodates $50
female people and was full at the open
Ing of the present term. Nearly 100 OF
these had gone home for their Christmas
holidays, leaving fifty, besides the col
lege force, in the building. AS
the girls crowded into the Railways
and saw the main exits closed against
them, great confusion reigned One
young woman, driven almost to insan-
ity. made rush to get through the fire,
but was pulled back. Her hands and
face were terribly burned. AT length
they were put on the way to escape and
began streaming out into the open air.
The change from the heat and smoke of
the burning building into the freezing
atmosphere was almost as terrible as
the fate which they had escaped. The
nearest house was half mile away. and
in the confusion which resulted from
their hurried exit, scant attire and want
of leadership they suffered much. In
about half an hour, people began arriv-
ing from the city and the effort to gather
up the girls and take them to homes

CHICAGO MYSTERIES.
Gigantic Police Conspiracy AL
legged to Exist.

CAICAGO, Jan. A morning paper
publishes sensational story protesting
to give the inside history of a couple of
raids by the police upon meetings of al
legged anarchists in November last. The
first was by Inspector Hubbard upon
meeting at West Twelfth Street Turner
hall, where he compelled the leaders to
display the American fac prominently
upon the platform. The next, couple
of days later, was by Inspector Lewis,
who raided Grief's hall, broke into a
coupls of rooms occupied by labor Or
ganizations and destroyed some prop
city in the alleged search for incrimi-
were also arrested. The cases against
! them were very weak, and the city was
content to have the fines assessed against
them in the police court RENTED; but
the arrested men were not satisfied and
appealed to the higher court for vindI-
cation. The societies all presented bills
to the city for the loss of property sus-
tanned, and the bills were paid.
The alleged inside history as given
this morning is to the effect that soon
after the Haymarket riot in 1886, which
led to the death of number of police
men and the hanging of four Of the an
archists, secret meeting of 800 wealthy
citizens was held, at which an organi-
cation was formed to help stamp out an
archy. The story goes on to say that
at that meeting over 100000 in money
was raised and turned over to a commit
tee to use at its discretion for the pur-
pose in view. No report on that or any
subsequent contribution was made, but
the understanding was that it was used
to inspire vigilance on the part of the
police.
1t is related that these contributions.
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 annu-
ally, in the aggregate nearly $500, 900,
were paid without question till last Oc-
tOber, when the committee called a
meeting of the contributors. explained
that it had not spent any Of the last as
sessment, about 100000; that anarchy
appeared to be dead, and that there
seemed to be no further use for the or
ganization. This met the views of the
meeting. and it was resolved to make 10
more contributions. This, the story
goes on to say, was not satisfactory to
the police, who had been benefciaries
Of the fund, and they set to work to
convince the members of the disbanded
society that anarchy was still alive and
active, with the raids as the result. 1t
is not charged that tie inspectors who
made the raids were In the conspiracy,
and Chief Of Police McClaughrey is ex-
onerated from all blame lib the matter.

BERRY ExoNERATED.
The Park Board Clears Him of the
Charges Recently Preferred

The park board held a regular ses-
sion yesterday afternoon. and. although
the meeting was devoid Of the sensa-
tiOnal features which have characterized
few of those preceding it, there was
considerable business transacted in a
quiet way. The report of the commit
tee on rules, which caused so much con-
trOversy at the last meeting as to cause
Commissioner NOrthrup to declare that
he would resign his char in the board,
was taken up again and those of its sec
tons which had been laid over were
adopted with but few alterations. The
much postponed report of the Berry in
veStigating committee. the principal
points of which have already leaked out
and been given to the public from time
to time, was also dragged out from its
retirement and adopted.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the journal charges or Oct s,
Commissioners Dahn, Northrup and
Boardman, reported that. pursuant to
the instructions of the board, it had sat
two afternoons and one evening, exam
ined seventeen witnesses and taken
fifty nine typewriter pages of testi-
mony. The report went on to state that
the committee had found no facts what
ever to warrant the statement that
Chris Paulson or any other teamster had
done any outside work, drawing pay for
such time from the board. and that the
other charges were not sustained by
any evidence obtainable. The report
concluded as follows:
"ln conclusion, your committee finds
that the only charge sustained is that
Phon Berry owned teams working for
the board. No evidence was introduced,
however, to show that these teams did
not work the fall time they were paid
for, or that they were in any way ia
vored over other teams.
The charges rejecting upon the SUI
perintendent are, from the evidence, en-
tirely without foundation"
This report was unanimously adopted.
The president repeated that on Dec,
% he and the secretary had been served
with papers In mandamuS suit insti-
tuted by Messrs. Hay and Hayes to re-
quire them TO appear and show cause
why the property designated for the
proposed First ward park had not been
purchased. The writ was made return
able Jan. 2, but, owing to the absence of
the attorney, the time was extended.
Commissioner Lawrence was authorized
and instructed to act in injunction with
the attorney Ill this matter.
The sections of the report Of the COM
mittee on rules which had been de-
terred were then taken up seriatim
and, with few slight changes, adopted.
The rules as whole were then adopted.
The only important change was made
in the section providing for a time
keeper, that office being done away with
entirely. Instead was substituted a
clause providing that the superintend-
ent shall each month submit to the sec
rotary, not only his pay rolls as hereto
fore, but also the time books of the
foreman and such other data as the pay
rolls are compiled from.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The absurdities and intense comicali-
ties Of ''All the Comforts of Home"
convulsed large audience at the Grand
last night. When presented by capable
people this is as amusing a farce as was
ever seen in Minneapolis. There is
nothing but laugh in it. The spectator
is not allowed moment in which to be-
come serious. 1t Is built for laughing
purposes, and never does it fail of at
tanning its object; and the fun is
all of the most delightful character.
1t emanates from bright lines and
amusing situations interpreted by men
and women who appreciate the humor
of that which they read and enact, and
are, therefore, able to convey it to the
spectator. The company is first-cass.
The cast is practically the same as whe
the piece was seen here last season..
The substitution of S. Miller Kent for
Robert billiard in the part of Alfred
Hastings is the only change of conSe-
quence. Mr.. Kent is equal to all re-
quirements. A large portion of the
comedy work falls to the characters of
Theodore Bender and his strong-minded,
jealous wife. Samuel Edwards and Miss
Kate Denim Wilson are still seen in
those parts, and they seem better than
ever.

The voice of Rev. G. l.. Morrill, was
the first to be raised In favor of the
adoption of the letter. Rev. NJ. +. GJert-
sen interposed an objection. The min
listers have nothing TO do with Arch
bishop Ireland when it comes to treat
ing of educational matters. he said.
There is state official who is charged
directly with responsibility of protect
ing the public schools and keeping them
above politics. State Superintendent
Kiehle is the man to be seen. Rev. Mr..
Chatfee also opposed the letter. He
thought the Catholics were doing their
best to make their schools like the pub
lie schools and was opposed to anyone
throwing anything in their way, His
remarks were not reliShed by the ma
Jority of the ministers. The end OF it all
was that a committee, consisting OF

appointed to wait upon the state super
lntendent and lay the matter before
him.
