The death of the Hon. Robert Robin
son, which occurred in San Francisco on
the 26th inst, closes a brave. honorable

BETWEEN FIRE AND WATER.
Thrilling Experience of the Grew of the
british Bark Archer.


British Bark Archer.
SAN FRANCISCO, March S1.-The ship
John c. Potter from Nanaime arrived
in port last night, having on board
Captain Dawson and 10 of the crew
of the British bark Archer, abandoned
off Cape Flattery, March IS. The men
tell story of almost increditable hard
ship and thrilling escape from the cap
sized bark only after great difficulty
and danger.
The bark left Victoria March IT,
After leaving the straits heavy snow
storm was encountered. The main
topsail was carried away, and while
the men were aloft an unusually VIC
lent squall struck the ship. The ballast
shifted and the ship listed The men
managed to reach the deck just as the
vessel was overwhelmed by a tremend-
GUS sea, turning her over on her broad
side. Andrew Anderson, the carpenter,
and A. B. Evans, a seaman, were car
led away and drowned. The crew
managed to cut away the weather
la nyards, and all these masts went
over the sides. The men succeeded in
climbing outside and chung to the poop.
Their position was one of great peril,
and to add to the terrors fire broke out
in the cabin. The snip also seemed to
be sinking, and it appeared to be only a
question as to whether the crew would
first be overcome by fire or water. FL
nally seaman, William Royden, was
lowered into the cabin, and managed
to put out the fire. An attembt was
made to launch the life-boat. AS the
boat left the vessel four of the crew
sprang aboard, leaving their unfortu-
nate companions holding to the side of
the wreck. With much effort a life
buoy was rugged to the life line and
passed to the life boat. By hold
ing on to the buoy and springing into
the water the men were, one by one,
hauled aboard. The squalls were VIC
lent and much suffering endured. FL
nally oars were put aboard the boat.
Fortunately the ship John G. Potter
hove in sight half an hour after the
crews escape from the vessel. She
took the men aboard and brought them
to this city.

and it was not until she was years of
age that her parents embraced the new
faith of Joseph Smith, another New
Yorker.
In 1876 the Folsom family moved to
Nauvoo, ILL.,, the site of the first Nor
mon temple, but were not permitted to
remain there long, the people having
risen up against the Mormons, killing
their prophet, Joseph Smith, and driv-
ing all his followers out of the state.
The Folsom family went to Keokuk and
afterward to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and
early in 1869 started across the plains
for Salt Lake, the Mormon city of Zion.
Amelia Folsom was then % years of
age, and in full bloom of her beauty,
while Brigham was SO. Beautiful
women were not plentiful in this then
desert valley, the number of men greatly
predominating in the small settle
ments.
President Brigham Young, of the
Mormon church, and his first presiden-
tial counselor, Heber G. Kimball, rich
and powerful, were in the habit of go
ing out to meet incoming parties of
pilgrims, and upon learning of the APP
proach of the party in which the Fol
som family came westward, set out to
meet them and welcome them to the
Mormon stronghold. Here was the be-
ginning of the romance which was con-
summsted in the marriage of Brigham
Young and Amelia Folsom. 1t seems
to have been a well established case of
love at first sight. The reader may
now listen to Amelia Folsom Young as
she tells, for the first time in her life,
her own story of her associations and
experienced with Brigham Young.

siveness.
Mrs. Young told me that she had
never before submitted to an interview
from a representative of the press.
She was aware that unauthentic and
untruthful newspaper articles had been
published about herself and her late
husband, and it was to correct the false
impression conveyed in these stories
that she was now willing to talk to the
public.
Harriet Amelia Folsom was born
August 80, 1888, in Buffalo New York,
the birthplace also of Frances Folsom,
now Mrs Cleveland. near relative
of Mrs. Young, who has taken some in
terest in the genealogy of the family,
says that Mrs. Cleveland and Amelia
Folsom Young are cousins, having
sprung from the same original Folsom
family in New Hampshire. Mrs. Young
when approached on this subject de-
sired not to talk, stating that she had
no knowledge of just what kinship, if
any, she bears to Mrs. Cleveland, never
having looked up her genealogy with
any such object in view, but a Massa-
chusetts member of the Folsom family
having traced their genealogy says the
two famous women are second cousins.
The Mormon church was a religious
infant when Amelia Folsom was born,

GARFIELD, Wash, March 31.-Presi-
dent Bryan of the agricultural college,
who is here, says; "Heston has signed
no charges against the present regents

He has simply filed writ in the Whit
man county courts for back salary due

cember, 1898. There is a balance due

of the statement by Miss Pollard that
he had on two occasions, after protesta-
lions of love, promised to marry her,
Breckenridge said: There is no. a
scintilla of truth in that statement; not
a shred. Under no circumstances, at no
time, was there such statement. Plain
tiff never alluded TO the possibility of
it. Before the death of my wife there
distorted into such a thing" He fur
Their declared that she never told him
that she gave birth to living child. If
she had it would have given him an ex-
cuse for breaking off their relations,
for, considering the time of those rela-
lions, 1t was impossible that the child
could have been his. From November,
1885, to July, 1877 there was no improp-
er relations between them. They were
resumed after that. During the time
that she was in the Academy of vista
lions he paid her expenses, even when
not sustaining improper relations, rec
ognizing the danger of scandal.
In view of her temper and disposi-
ton, Breckenridge declared, "Some of
our interviews were more excessively
unpleasant than any words could de-
scribe. She would come to me at the
capitol in my committee room, and de-
clare she was not going to leave that

her in every way, from gentle to most
severe, that she was becoming more and
more disinclined and unable to care for

Amelia Folsom Young appears seldom
in public since the death of her hus-

private gatherings in the older Mormon
soaiety circles as she once was in the
public events occurring in the younger
circles.

next door to Mrs. Folsom Young, in

of age.

"What will be the future of the NOR

The same as the past, so far as the
belief in the doctrine of polygamy is
concerned. AS to its practice, that has
been declared unlawful by the govern
ment and the Mormon people have
promised to abstain from polygamy
They will keep their promise, but they

right under the manifesto to practice
polYgamy."
"The abolition of polygamy, then,
will not effect the strength of the

''Not in the least. Aside from poly
gamy, the doctrines of the church of
Jeaus Christ of Latter Day Saints are
not radically different from those of
other religious bodies. There is no
reason why the church should not CON

than ever before. Two of the three
bridges spanning 1t have been rendered
unsafe for traffic, the one near the

some cases was forced back to Main

evening and no further damage is
feared. The effects of the high water

ANOTHER PINE LAND SUIT FILED

Ex-LegislatOr Foley Charged with De-
frauding the State of Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, April 2,-The Joint legisla-
tive pine investigation committee has
again been heard from in the shape of
a suit against F. r. Foley, of Aitkin
county, who represents that county in
the legislative session of 1891. The
complaint charges that MIR, Foley un-
lawfully entered upon section 16, town
81, range 80, in the winter of 1912 and
cut and removed therefrom and con-
verified to his own use 2,O0O 900 feet of
pine timber, with the intent upon the
part of Mr.. Foley to defraud the state,
and judgment is asked for the sum of
$4,000. The charge is of cutting a
large amount and returning pay for but
a portion of it, the difference going into
the pocket of the lumberman, and
thereby robbing the school fund of a
large sum which rightfullY belongs to it.
