black mustache and surmounted by
coal black hair, He is fairly good
looking, has a rich, full voice to

CREW OF Nine SAVED
The Mississippi Took All Hands

The Hakon JarI Was DismantIed In
the Gale Of Sept 8.
Laden with Lumber, the Abandoned
Vessel IL Menace.

The French liner. Champagne reached
this port yesterday from Havre and re-
ported wreck at sea which was then
thought to have resulted in loss of life.
on the morning Of Sept. II a bark was
sighted, flying the signal flags IN. o."
denoting that she was in a sinking con-
dition. La Champagne ran alongside the
bark, which was waterlogged and had
settled very low in the water. A boat
was sent aboard. and her name was as
certained to be Hakon Jarl She was
lumber-laden, and had been previously
reported as bound to Glasgow from Dali
hOuSie.
This morning the British steamship
Mississippi arrived at this port and al
most the first passengers ashore were

creased in force until the morning Of

violence from southwest and west for
period of eighteen hours. When the
gale began. the bark was in latitude 4s.
longitude "a.
All attempts to heave the bark to
proved unavailing. The fearful sea that
overwhelmed her SO suddenly had
thrown her over on her beam ends, and
she refused to answer to her helm.
The deckload of lumber brokes away,
some of II going overheard and n large
portion jamming in the lee rigging and
water ways, holding her down and rem
derng her completely unmanageable.
Just at this time the bark sprung n
leak The sea was so heavy and the
list OF the bark so acute that the pumps
could not be manned The remnants of
the deckload dashed from side to side
across the deck, rendering 1t impassa-
BILE to the sailors.
Nothing could be done to save the
vessel. She was making water very
fast, and the only hope was that some
vessel might heave In sight and take
them off.
on the morning of Sept. 10, latitude
49.45, longitude "a 03, their long vigil
was rewarded by the appearance of the
Mississippi. She bore down upon seeing
the distress signal, and, with much diff
ficulty, owing to the high sea running,
boat was launched from the Missis-
sippi and the nearly exhausted sailors
were rescued. They saved nothing but
the clothing they stood In.
The Hakon Jarl was built at Grim
stadt In 1866, and hailed from Chris
tiansand, where she was partially in
sured. She was of 49l tons register.
In her. present shape she is menace

A BRAVE ACT.

In these days OF exposure OF police
misdeeds 1t is pleasant to record brave
and CONNER dable act on the part OF a
member OF force whose reputation for
devotion and bravery at least cannot be
assaulted.
Matthew Monaghan. the member OF the
Broadway Squad who guards the cross
ing at Barclay street and Broadway, was
on duty last Saturday afternoon. when a
runaway horse attached to a mail wagon
came tearing down the crowded thor
oughfare. An old man was in the cart, and
he had lost control of the powerful horse.
which by some means had become strip
ped OF the harness about the head. There
was immediate danger OF "A collision with
the cable cars, and a wild scene OF con
fusion prevailed
Monaghan sprang into the road, and
by some adroit means seized the horse
| by the ear ano turned his head on one
side, stopping him as easily as II he had
been completely harnessed. The feat was
remarkable one. and as II was per
| formed O I the risk of the mans life, and
probably prevented fatal accident. II

AT SARATOGA To. MORROW.

| Plat Is boss and Levi p. Morton is
/ his profit. Plat has been one OF the
Republican machine leaders for some
| time. But this year he has shaken OFF
all his associates, and stands alone as
the absolute Dictator OF his party.
There Is st.ll an opposition to Platt as
n matter OF course. There are many
men who would like to break the SLATE"
and prevent the nomination OF the can
didates selected by the boss for Governor
and Lieutenant-Governor But they have
no adhesion, and, what Ia worse, very
few Of The influential men among them
have any pluck. The consequence is that
the Slate" Is likely to go through the
ratification meeting at Saratoga to-mor-
row and to leave Thomas C. Plat Grand
Tycoon OF Republicanisn for some years
to come.
In the Democratic party there has
been divided ship-Croker In the
city and Hin and Murphy In the State
In the Republican party Plat is ruler
in the State and city both.
There will be some little embarass-
ment over to-morrow's platform. 1t has
been given out that the campaign is to
be fought on the tariff. There Is to be
an attack on Trusts and n resolution
that any subscription of money by a
corporation to a political party for cam
paign purposes shall be made penal
offense.
But what has a State Government to
do with the tariff? How will the Re-
publicans reconcile tariff agitation
with their denunciation of the Democ-
racy for a disturbance of the tariff?
How can the Republican State Con
vention attack Trusts, when the Repub-
lican Constitutional Convention is pro-
tecting and fostering Trusts In the new
Constitution? How can Republican
ism denounce moneyed subscriptions for
political Purposes by corporations when
It has been living for years on such
subscriptions? How can the Saratoga
gathering denounce Hin and Murphy
for alleged political trickery In the
State. when the Albany gathering is
engaged in making one OF the most
scandIlously fraudulent appointments
ever imposed on people?
The work OF this Convention. whose
business has been done beforehand on
slate" will satisfy the people that
the reform cry in the State means
simply turning over the government
from one set OF bosses to another set
from n Democratic machine to a Re
publican machine.
