they ought to let him go. This reason
ing prevailed and they let CULVER go
with the threat that they should take
him when he should come back V it'll the
proceeds of his wood. But Town
Constable Lewis Conant happened to be
working for Mr.. Smith at that time, and
he escorted CULVER back through the
dangerous esion.
But by that time the two tramps, or
two others of the fraternity, were under
taking another exploit. One of the best
know young men at the Foreside is
Robert Anderson He is about twenty
years Of age, strong and resolute. He
was working at that time on the little
schooner which carries grain between
this city and the tide mill of Stevens g.
Co. He was TO sail on the early tide the
next morning. so that evening about 8
O'Clock, he went to the schooner to sleep
aboard in order to be there when the tide
should serve. He carried with him u
good aMple dinner pail, containing
breakfast and dinner for the next day.
He went aboard the schooner, entered
the cabin, lit the lamp and taking a
small Ratchet began splitting some
kindling wood. While at work he was
startled by hearing from the scuttle
which led into the cabin a rough voice:
Come up out of that and ante up"
Thinking it was the voice CT some
joking companion young Anderson
looked slowly UP.

conner impatiently, ssand then Anderson
saw that the face was strange and
sinister. The next instant he acted. The
hatcher was in his hand, and quick as
Tightening he threw it at the head of the
stranger. The aim was too hurried to ne
accurate, and the blade struck the
scuttle passing within a few inches of
the tramp's head. The head disappeared,
and young Anderson made all haste to
secure the Ratchet This done he
ventured to peep out of the cabin, saw
the trampsjump onto the wharf, and heard
him say to companion: He's got more
fight in him than the other one had"
That night Anderson made sure that
the cabin would stand a small siege be-
fore he sought his bunk.

1T WAS A HARD PASSAGE.
The First Officer of the Alcides Says 1t
Was the Worst He Ever Made.

s'It was the worst passage / ever
made" said the chief officer of the
steamer Alcides yesterday, after the ar
rival of the vessel, and he was evidently
badly used up man. The steamer left
Glasgow the last of December, and had
fairly good weather, but heavy head
winds, until January 2, when the series
of gales that went with them to this port
began. The sea was bad, and there was
a series of squalls of hurricane force.
There were one or two bright days, and
then tho storm struck them again, and
that time stayed by them. 1t was very
cold, and the captain froze his hands
while taking an observation.
Their worst trouble was reserved for
the last. Wednesday was very bad
day, and the afternoon found them off
this coast, but with no hope of coming
in. By that time the steamer had iced
up badly, and was carrying great load,
the ice having formed on her sides to an
average thickness of five or six feet.
Wednesday afternoon it became very
thick, and at night, in the words of the
chief officer, cit seemed as if the heav-
ems above us had opened" The rain
that commenced about 4 O'clock in the
afternoon, continued perfect flood I'M
til 2 o'clock the next morning, when it
suddenly cleared up, and then came an
other of the remarkable experiences of
the passage. almost as quickly as it
takes me to tell it, the temperature
dropped from 400 above zero to POP be-
low," said the officer. Of course the
rain had relieved the steamer of its mass
of ice, but with the sudden change in
the temperature she made ice badly and
rapidly once more, and looked very
much like an ice ship when she made
her dock. All on board were almost
worn out.

FIRE AT YARMOUTH.
Loss of Several Thousand Dollars at the
Forest Paper Company's Mills.

Fire caught probably around the boil
er in the black ash building at the mills
of the Forest Paper Company in Var
mouth last evening. The roof was
burned off and damage amounting to
$4,000 or $4,000 was done. The loss is
covered by insurance in the Manufacture
ers' Mutual. The fire may necessitate
stepping work in part of the mills for a
few days, but will not seriously delay
operations.
The Yarmouth correspondent of the
PRESS telegraphs that the cold weather
and high wind for time made it doubt
full if the plant could be saved. The
employees are organized for fire service
and the mill is equipped with powerful
engines and pumps. Despite the heroic
exertion the roof was destroyed

WOLF BERNSTEIN.

He Left This City Three Years Ago and Has
Not Been Seen since-His Wife Thinks
He Met With Foul Play and Will Ask
theAnthorities to Investigate the Matter
The Unknown Body Found on Che
beague Plays a Part in the Matter.
Some recent developments have called
attention to the mysterious disappear
ance of Wolf Bernstein, a Hebrew peddler,
in 1890. In June of that year he started
with his pack of goods for a tour of the
islands in the harbor. Days and months
passed and he did not return. His wife,
whom he left in the city, finally con-
Guided that he must have deserted her
and she took up the peddling business
herself as her only means of support.
Recently some facts have developed
which lead Mrs. Bernstein to believe that
her husband met with foul play. She
had heard recently from her husbands
relatives in the old country, and they
knew nothing of his whereabouts. This
she thinks would not be the case were he
alive She has also discovered another

IS said that this man SO far as could be
Judged from appearances, was Hebrew.
But the affair made no great stir at the
time and the body was buried in the

Mrs. Bernstein heard nothing of the
affair at the time and not until few
days ago did she learn of it, from ac-
cidentally meeting one who assisted at
the burial.
Mrs. Bernstein believes that this man
was her husband, Wolf Bernstein. and
that he met with foul play. She and her
Hebrew friends have determined to lay
the matter before theauthorities, and en-
deavor to have the mystery solved.
