SWAMPsCOTT'S MYSTERY.
Coastwise Schooner Sunk Leaving Only
Slight Clue to Her Identity.

Swampscott, November 49, Every soul
lost That is the fate of the crew of an
unknown coastwise three masted
schooner that foundered off Swampscott
at 1.3o this morning, between'Red Ledge
and Egg Rock.
The i'll faJed ship is thought to have
hailed from Bangor, Maine, and was
probably loaded with lime or granite.
She probably carried crew of six men,
that being the number coasters general
ly carry-a captain, mate, cook and
three or four men before the mast.
Capt. G. Stone, who witnessed the
the westward. He thought it was
dangerously near shore. All of sudden
squall came up, and when it cleared
away he looked for her and she was
gone. There is slight chance of -the
bodies of the fated sailors ever being
washed ashore, as the current sets sea-
ward. The vessel is pounding on the
bottom badly and will probably go to
pieces, though the sea is not running
burden.
All that the crew of the humane
society's life boat which was promptly
manned by fishermen, found when they
reached the spot where the ship went
down were two topmasts about two feet
above water A new paper pail was
found, which showed that it had been
bought in Portland, Me. The ships
boat was also seen, and it was broken
into three pieces. The ships skiff was
found overturned. Not far from
the skiff was found hat and coat
Pieces of timber from the ship were also
picked up.
Before the boat started out an old sea-
man, with glass, had distinguished the
form of man clinging to the rigging.
A heavy sea rolled over him and he was
seen no more.
It is thought that one of the sailors
Jumped into the skiH when the ship
sank. The skiff overturned and the sailor
took off his hat and coat and clung to
the bottom of the skiff until he was
washed off.
There must have been terrific scene
on board the schooner, for she sank in
side of five minutes. Some of the
Swampscott seamen think that the crew
NAV have managed to lower the ships
boat. but that the sea dashed the boat
against the sinking ship and demolished
It.
The Nahant lifeboat crew went to the
rescue of the ship, but it is understood
they had no better success than the
Swampscott seanien.
The coat which was found was living
across spar. 1t had evidently been
placed there by one of the crew. 1t
was an old blue coat, cut in sack form.
1t was of woolen material
The card which may lead to the identi-
fication of the schooner was cigarette

Memorial of James Russell Lowell Now
Beside that of Longfellow.

London, Novemb ber 26-The ceremonies
attendant upon the unwilling of the
memorial to James Russell Lowell in
the chapter house of Westminster Abbey
began at noon today. The memorial
consists OF two stained glass windows.
One of them is divided by two mullions
into three parts, while at the bottom of
the minister, author and poet. On the
three sections of the niullioned windows
are representations of an angel bearing
a shield below the arms of the United
States, the landing of the Pilgrim
Fathers from the Mayfower, and the
figure of ST. Botolph. On the other
window are the figures of Sir Launfal,
an angel bearing shield below the arms
of St. Ambrose, as we'll as a symbolic
representation of the emancipation of the
slaves.
While Mr.. Lowell was American min
lister tolGreat Britain he greatly endeared
himself to the best classes of the English
people, and shortly after his death the
lroject was started Of erecting memo
raised among his English friends,
and today's ceremonies marked ssthe final
completion of the work of love. Among
those who subscribed to the fund were
the Duke of Westminster, the Duke of
Argyll, Earl Rosebery, Lord Coleridge,
Lord Brasse, Lord Playfair, Sir John
Lobbock, Prof. Bryce, Prof. ,Tyndall,
George Meredith, DR.. Conan Doyle and
Canon Farrar.
AT today's exercises, Dean Bradley pre-
sided and made an address. He was
followed by Mr.. Leslie Stephens, who
made the presentation, to which Ambas-
sador Bayard responded. Among other
things, he said: :" I hold myself happy
in that have been permitted to be in
the Chapter House of Westminster
Abbey, when for the second time the
name Of an American is inscribed in this
double sanctuary of religion and renown
the bust of Longfellow and now the
memorial of his brother poet, both from
our kindred beyond the sea. The forms
of these TWO, gifted sons of America are
clasped in the bosom of the land of their
birth; their ashes rest in peace at home,
but the echoes OF their fame have been
waited across the Atlantic. and they fall
in clear and musical notes upon the
loving ears of the two countries whose
people speak the same tongue
"Longfellow and Lowell, here in West
minister A bbey, in blended fellowship,
are worthy companions of that band who
sang with Wordsworth and who gave us
nobler love and nobler cares"

Inc prince persisted, and his uncle.
Irlnce ougllano Colonna, wrote in his
behalf, saying that money was of NO
consequence, as it was love match.
Mrs. Mackay eventually gave wav.
The bride was married without dot or
settlement, but Mrs. Mackay allowed her
an income of $4,000 a year, besides
giving her many valuable presents.
The prince and his bride went to Ma

the prince sold all the tapestries and
furniture and even her wedding presents

frequently said to his wife, L will take

She replied, You may if you kill me.'''
The friend who told the above added
that such long suffering and devoted
wife as the princess was never known.
John W. Mackay has written to his

SOUTH cARoLINA's RUM TRADE.
Tillman Still Believes in the Law, but
Would Exempt Beer.

Columbia, S. c., November 2S.-The
General Assembly of South Carolina met
today. Governor Tillman's message was
read in both houses. 1t gives the histo-
ry OF the dispensary liquor law, and says
that all the legal whiskey traffic has been
turned into one channel, flowing to Co.
lumbia, the central distributing depot.
The profit from the dispensary to the
state for the first four months was S32.-
900. The Governor says the law cannot
be defended on the ground that it yields
revenue. 1t rests wholly on it's claim to
being the best method Of controlling the
evils inseparabi9 n,, from the Incorporate
would be in the interest of temnerance
to exempt beer from the dispensary law
and place it under stringent license regu-
lations.

The Business Outlook.

New York, November 2S-The Herald
prints page of dispatches as to the bus
mess outlook, mostly from New England
and the South. with few from the
West. Their general tenor, with allow
ance for purely local conditions, indicate
a gradual and widespread return of eau
tious confidence, a slow and painful i'm
proyement in general trade and height
ened outlook for the future. The re-
ports from the manufacturing towns of
New England all dwell upon the recent
resumption of work at the mills, in
crease in the working time and the de-
sire to have the tariff adjusted as early
as possible.

THE MAID OF PLYMOUTH.
New Comic Opera Sung by the Bostonians
in Chicago.

,, Chicago, November 2s-The Bostonians
presented a new comic opera by Thos P.
Thorne and Clay M. Green last night at
the Columbia theatre. 1t is called "The
Maid of Plymouth 1t cannot be said
that the authors have succeeded in
fashioning perfect comic opera, but
there is much that is meritorious in the
work of both composer and libretist.
There are many tuneful airs in the piece,
and several of them are of the catchy
variety which secures hold on the pub
lie. The concerted music is good and
the orchestratoin.. of fair quality. But
the music all through is quite suggestive
as for instance, when the audience was
treated to bar or two of "Ta-ra-boom-
de-ay," and to several of "The Blue
Bells Of Scotland" as well as parts of
several other well known airs.
The new opera is based on the storyrof
the courtship of Miles Standish, as told
by Longfellow. Standish, Priscilla and
John Alden, in the persons of Ned Nc
Donald. Miss Ridand Mr. Hoff, all figure
in the acting, and the poorer people of
Plymouth are made to serve as a chorus.
The citizens of Plymouth, with a laud-
able-desire to preserve their purity and
the reputation of their Puritan COM
munity, have decided to hold themselves
aloof from the wicked world. The Elder
(Mr. Barnabee) is the leader of the is
laudable movement. Suddenly ship
load of British gallants and a worldly
young woman, Primrose, miss Clearly
arrive in the port. The Puritan maidens
become infatuated with the gallants, and
Primrose at once lays siege to the hearts
of the Elder. This infurates the men of
Plymouth, who accuse Primrose of the
favorite erie in the earlier days of Massa-
chusetts that. of being witch, and sue
ceed in having her sentenced to death at
the stake. From this cruel fate the girl
is saved by Miles Standish.

Struck on the Long Island Shore
Bell Port, l.. l., November 2S.-The
schooner Louise H. Randall of Newport,
RI, was driven ashore near Smiths
Point in the storm last night. The sea
broke over the vessel and all on board
were forced to take to the rigging.
: Barney King, formerly patrolman at
life savingssstation No. 21, at Smiths
Point, came to Bell Port from the scene
of the wreck at 6. p. m. He said the life
savers had not then succeeded in getting
life line aboard the schooner. At the
time, the. captain, his wife and boy, and the
crew of nine were still lashed to the
rigging. The schooner holds together
but her matches have been torn off by
the waves and washed ashore. Life
saving apparatus from three stations to
the east and three stations to the wesu
has been called into requisition, and each
crew has made an effort to reach the
wreck with life lines fired from mortars.
One projectile reached the schooner but
the line parted. When Mr.. King left the
beach at about five, the life savers on
shore had practically abandoned the
hope of communication with the wreck
for thesnight. They were hopeful that
the surf would go down under the in
1uence of the easterly winds so that they
might be able to launch the surf boat
and take off the crew. The combers
have subsidized somewhat since the vessel
went ashore this morning, in the rain
permeated gale from the southeast, but
the sea is still too high for one to think
of venturing III boat off shore. =...The
life savers were hopeful the wrecking
tug Merritt would appear before morning
and be able to take the unfortunates
from the rigging.
New York, November 2s-At a late
hour tonight, the observer at Fire Island
reports that the schooner Louise H. Ran
dali is breaking up rapidly. The Merritt
Wrecking company's tug was alongside
the wrecked vessel at nine. 1t is hoped
she succeeded in rescuing the captain,
his wife, and the crew.
