CAUGHT IN THE ICE.
The Perilous Experience of the Steamer
State of Georgia.

New York, March 27.-The steamer
State of Georgia, five days overdue, ar
rived this morning from Aberdeen. On
the 18th, at q a. M, in lat. 4So 22i, long.
4So 49,, the steamer ran into pack ice.t
Speed was at once reduced, and an effort
was made to force gradual passage.
The ice became very thick, however, and
the engines were all but stopped. On
the 18th, at in the morning, the ships
head was turned to the eastward, to re-
trace, if possible, the course. A dense
fog settled down, and the greatest care
was necessary to prevent collision with
some of the larger pieces of floating ice.
At S.15 a. M, lat. 470 So, long. 480 30, a
large iceberg was sighted, but the cap
tain avoided striking it by quickly shift
ing the helm. At p. m. the fog became
so thick that it was deemed best to stop
the ship altogether. The carpenter was
sent into the forepeak to sound the well,
and found the vessel was making water
rapidly forward of the collision bulk
head. A stage was lowered over the
bow, and dangerous crack was found
in one of the plates of the starboard
bow All night the vessel drifted with
the ice, and in the morning patch was
prepared and holes drilled to bolt it over
the crack While busy at this work, the
men found crack in the port bow plate,
and this was also repaired. Att p. m.
the work was finished, but it was thought
best to wait before proceeding. On the
18th the engines were again started, the
course being south-southeast. Much ice
was passed through on this day and the
next. All of it was very heavy, averag-
ing 20 feet in thickness, and but small
portion appeared above water. At noon,
on the 18th, the ships position was lat.
40 so, long. 460 2Sf. During the after
noon and evening six large icebergs were
passed, and at midnight the ship ran cut
OF the ice into the open water

BOUGHT RENFREW BONDS.
Maine Savings Banks which, May Suffer
Through Potter-Love1I Transaction.

Boston, March 27--Hon. Seth M. Carter,
Hon. A. r. Savage and John A. Morrill,,
ESQ.,, of Auburn, and VIII. White, Esq,
of Lewiston, attorneys for Lewiston and
Auburn savings banks,a are in Boston,
looking after the Renfrew Manufacture
ing company bond case before the Mass
achusetts Supreme court. This litigation
grew out of the Potter Lowell failure
and concerns rthecvalidity of an issue of
$40, 600 of Rsnfrewxbonds. The Potter
Lowell companyewere the fiscal agents of
the Renfrew company, and negotiated
the sale of the bonds, but the Renfrew
folks claim they never received the pro-
ceeds and the issue was fraudulent. The
banks bought the bonds in open market
at full price, and are innocent holders.
1t would be hard on them if the court
should decide the bonds are invalid, but
the holdings are not large enough to
permanently injure the banks should
the loss be total. Savings, banks in
Lewiston, Auburn. Belfast and other
parts of Maine are holders Of these
bonds.

GOVERNOR WOULDN'T SEE THEM.
Citizens of Troy Received With scant
Courtesy at Albany.

Albany, NY, March 27.-The COM
mittee of safety from Troy called at the
G apitol today. Several members sent
their cards to Governor Flower asking

cards and Immediately returned saying:
"The Governor declines to see any of
you. ! desire to say to you gentlemen
that you are obstructing the public
business, and each and every one of you
is subject to Indictment for, misde-
meanor." The private secretary retired
amid kissing and hooting. The visitors
went to the lobby of the Capitol and
held meeting. They decided upon a
memorial to be presented, and it was
handed to Col. Williams. When the
affair was over, Brigadier General
Palmer G. Rickens, a member of the
committee, who is engineer in chief on
Gov. Flowers staff, sent in his resigna-
tion to the Governor. The committees

the attorney general in presenting the
Shea case to the grand jury, and that
the Governor shall not impose upon the
attorney general the condition that

been called to public attention by the
murder of Robert Ross, should not be
Investigated by these who are respon-
sible for them.

Vile to Alliance.

Louisville, Ohio, March 27.-The de-

nineteen. The recruits are better appear
ing men than the original Coxeyites.
When the corner of Main and Lesh

Coxey to Stewart
Louisville, Ohio, March Gloom
mander Coxey has given out his reply to
the letter written to him by Senator
Stewart. He writes:
have seen your letter in the newspa
pers addressed to General Coxey. Al
low me to inform you that | am not a
general, am simply the president of
the J. S. Coxey Good Roads Association
of the United States, an ex-officer of the
Commonweal of Christ. / am not lead
ing an army, no matter how much SUBJ
sidized press, at the dictation of the
money power, tries to make this appar-
ent, and all the epithets hurled at us as
being anarchists or mobs get more
weight from ill-advised admissions by
our friends than all else besides.
This is nom partisan movement, and
he who is not with us is against us.
There is no neutral ground, and house
divided against itself cannot stand, is as
true today as when used in the dark
days of the civil war by Abraham Lin
coin, the father of the legal trades. Fol-
lowing in his footsteps we seek to de-
throne gold as our forefathers did King
George in 1776. and once more to have
legal tender money such as would be if
the two Coxey bills are passed. Thus
the Rubicon has been crossed by the sill
yer forces and we cannot falter. The
fiat must go forth now. Demonetiza-
ton OF gold as we'll as silver.
Yours, j. S. CoxEY.
