Schooncrs and Steamers Blown Before
the Fearful Gale Meet With Wreck.

BROOKLYN, n. ", April 11.-A special
TO the Brooklyn Eagle from Greenport, l..
l., says: The fiercest storm experienced
here in years is raging this morning. The
wind is blowing at the velocity of 40
miles an hour and it is showing and rain
ing alternately.
The new oyster schooner Nevada has
been driven ashore. She Is heavily loaded
with seed oysters, and without doubt will
become total wreck as she Is pounding
herself to pieces on The rocks.
The lumbersteamer John Morgan parted
her cables and in less than ten minutes
was n total wreck. Unless the wind
abates soon, great damage must follow
as many vessels both large and small are
een to be dragging their anchors.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Germany Soon to Take the Initiative
To Recognize Its Money Value.

by the Associated Press.
LONDON, April ia dispatch to The
Post from Berlin says that many of
the German bi-metallists, including
Herr Arendel, think that the recent
speech made in the Reichstag by Count
Posadowsko, secretary of the Imperial
treasury, shows that he contemplated the
calling of another conference TO discuss
some such scheme as Herr Arendel
has already submitted to the currency
commission for fixing the price of silver
by treaty between the interested countries
and for the issuing of interna-
tional silver certificates with GER
tifcates. The dispatch adds, however,
that according to the semi-oificial papers
nothing in this direction will be done
until the currency commission shall have
finished its lahors.

was born under lucky star" and
that the little legacy left her by her

compared with what the facts held in
store for her. Many years ago Leon
ard l.. Oaf, who was Miss Taylor's
great uncle, went from his native
State, Kentucky, to Oregon, where he
accumulated considerable wealth in
the mines but after few years went
to South Asia, where he has lived for
twenty-five wears and piled up his
wealth in the millions. Recently Miss
Taylor received information that her
uncle had died and left her snug
little fortune of $50 600 900. legal steps
to secure which have already been
taken.
Miss Taylor and her brother, Jas. F.
Taylor, have been residents of Butter
county several years. During last
winter she taught school some six or
seven miles east of Poplar Bluff and
has school engaged for the coming
year. Her brother taught the school
near Masts mill last winter and is
farming in that neighborhood at

and takes her good fortune in a quite
