STUCK TO HIS CRAFT.
Captain of an Overturned Oyster Boat Re
fused to Leave Her.

fused to Leave Her.
New York, October S.-The oyster sloop
Jennie B., Capt. VIM. Lacy of Bridgeport,
was towed here today by the schooner
Hastings, Captain Corey from New Bedford.
The schooner Fannie Edith, which also
arrived..here today came across the sloop on
Saturday evening. Capt. Lacy and Edward
Lyle. stripped of their clothing were cling
ing to the keel of the capsized sloop. Capt.
Lacy wanted the schooner's people to assist
him to right the boat, but they said they
had not time, but would take him off. He
declined to desert his craft, but Lyle went
on board the Fanny Edith. Lyle said that
the sloop was oapsized off Penfeld reef.
She was under reef, but that was too
much for her as strong wind was blowing
and she went over. Later the schooner
Hastings picked up the sloop near Bridge
port about five miles east of the middle
ground. -ighted her and towed her here. In
her.was dredge and some old clothes. but
nothing to show where she belonged. 1t is
possible that the Ca plain of the Fanny B.
was therefore lost, though he may have
been taken off by some other passing craft.

A HEAVY SQUALL.
Blew the Draw ON the Grand Trunk
Off Its Irons.
1t Had Been Opened to Allow scow to
Pass Through-Six Trains We're stalled
by the Accident

1t Had Been Opened to Allow a Scow to
Pass Through-Six Trains We're stalled
by the Accident.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon there
was heavy squall, but people in the
central portion of the city hardly appre-
ciated it's force. 1t struck in from sea with
great vigor. At that time the passenger
trains on the Grand Trunk in and out. had
passed the bridge between this city and
East Deering, and the draw was open TO
allow mud scow to pass through A heavy
freight train was on the bridge.just beyond
the draw waiting for the scow to pass
through. The open draw was struck by the
full force of the wind. and whirled around
despite the best efforts of the draw tender.
The scow was then part through, and the
sudden turning of the draw brought Il
against the scow, and 1t was taken OF the
lrons' and left about one-third open. The
scow managed to do some damage to the
wood work of the bridge in passing.
AS soon as thesaccident.was reported at
the station large working crew was sent
to the bridge under the direction OF Mr..
FINLEY, and orders were wired holding
freight trains at different points. One train
was stalled at Falmouth and will stay there
until further orders. The 6.1O cut freight,
special freight train, and the s.15 out
freight were halted here, and other trains
were halted at different points. The inter-
rupt1on of business caused by that gust of
wind, combined with mud scow, will be-
felt from Portland to Island Pond. At IL
O'Clock last night it seemed probable that
Mr.. finley's industrious workers would put
