SUITS MAY BE BROUGHT.
The NicOl Was Only Licensed TO
Cnrry Forty-nvc PnsscnEern.

The tug James d. Nicol was licensed
to carry not over forty-five passengers
and to steam a distance not to exceed fif-
teen miles outside of Sandy Hook. The
license was issued on Sept. 2i 1893, and
runs for one year.
At the Custom-House 1t was learned
that under the United States statutes the
owners of the tug are liable to fine OF
$500 for exceeding the provisions Of their
license, and that suit may also be

BOOM FOR CHICAGO GAS.
Then, in q Few Minutes, 1t Dropped
Below the Opening.


The week opened at the Stock Ex-
change with practically the same con-
ditions in force as those prevailing
at the close of last week.
The foreign advices were awaited with
some interest, owing to the possible
effect Of President Carnots death In
London and on the Continent. When 1t
was seen that consols were virtually
unchanged from Saturdays closing, and
that rentes. after declining from lOof.
45c, to 99f. 75c., recovered to 99f. 81 l-2c.,
no apprehension was felt. AS American
securities in London. however. showed
a decline of is to per cent, the mar
ket here opened lower in sympathy.
Chicago Gas was u notable exception.
It started at rs 1-2. The very next sale
was at 791-2. and then few large
blocks changed hands at 80.

CAPT. HYATT'S STORY.
He Narrates the Details of the Dis
aster in Trembling Tones.

Capt. Hyatt told the story OF the found
ering OF the Nicol to an Evening
World" reporter this forenoon In Capt.
Reevess Office at 81 Dey street.
Hyatt is hardly more than a boy in
appearance, although he is twenty-five
years old. and has had n pilots license
for nearly four years. He told his story
In low, trembling voice. and was evil
IDENTIFY making an effort to keep com
mand of himself
The calamity has, according to his
fellow employees, greatly affected the
young captain. Hyatts appearance
does not bear out the rumors that he
was under the influence OF liquor when
the Nicol went down. He Is a clean-cut
intelligent looking fellow, who has tho
reputation OF having his wits about him
all the time.

up the anchor Off seabright about u. 30

SAID TO BE THE NELSON'S.
Victims of the Nameless Yacht Ac-
cident.

The five persons who were drowned in
the Bay yesterday by the capsizing of
a nameless yacht are believed to be
Charles Nelson, thirty-two years old, OF
26i Columbia street, Brooklyn; his wife,
thirty years old; their three-year-old
son; Kate Higgins, a servant, seven
teen years old, and a man said to be
brother or brother-in-law Of Nelson.
The party left Nelson's house yes
terday morning. To-day John Askew,
Of l2l Walcott street, Brooklyn, reported
to the police that the family was miss
ing, and that their description Tailed
! with that Of the persons drowned in
the Bay.
Later he called at the Norwegian
Hospital and identified the two-year-old
child, the only survivor, as the son of
Nelson.
The police have learned that Nelson
purchased the yacht from a man named
Fountain, living somewhere in Tomp-
kins place, Brooklyn. He wanted to
test his new purchase yesterday, and
invited the others to accompany him.
Many men in small boats were busy
this morning dragging the bay off the
foot of Fifty-third street, Brooklyn, in
search of the bodies of the five missing
| persons who were drowned by the CAP
sizing OF yacht yesterday morning.
Watchman Conroy, who was on the
power-house pier when the yacht
started from there yesterday, says one
OF the party told him he had purcha sed
the yacht for SIS.
The yacht Is twenty feet long, green
bottom, yellow stripe around gunwale
and green deck.
| The boat was hauled up on the beach
this morning and the cabin searched,
but there was nothing found which
would lead to the identity OF the persons.
Waterman Conroy was of the opinion
this morning that the bodies of the
drowned persons would not be recovered
on account OF the strong tide which was
running at the time of the accident.
Conroy saw the yacht a few minutes
after 1t capsized. The men and women
We're fioundering in the water. About
this time persons in other boats saw the
accident and hurried to the rescue.
Among the first to arrive at the wreck
! were Louis T. Inken, steward of the
Atlantic Yacht Club, and Albert AL
stine, Of 22i Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn.
They were In a steam launch. and al
though they arrived within a few min
utes after the boat capsized. they only
succeeded in rescuing the little child.
Had they been a second later, the little
one would also have been lost.
The police learned this afternoon that
Thomas Fountain, of IT Tompkins
Square, was formerly the owner of the
nameless yacht. He sold 1t to Nelson
for $25 last Monday. Nelson took his
first trip In the boat yesterday.

The jacksonville Republican is
quoted by the Guntersville Demo-
crat as saying:
The newspapers have it that Mr.
P. g. Bowman, the blood and thun.
der erstwhile manager of Mr.. Kolb $
campaign, has gone to London to
raise campaign fund for the genial
Reuben, one hundred thousand dol
lars of which is to be devoted to the
purchase Of arms to be used, pre- esu>
mably, to insure g free ballot and
fair count"
The Republican does not cree it
the story, but in event there should
be any truth in it, and Mr.. Bow
man should succeed in getting any
money out Of the p'utocrats of Lom>
bard street for the use of his bosr,
We could suggest better use for it
to the benefit If the people than in
the purchase Of arms, and that use
would be in the purchase Of hogs for
presentation to the farmers.
From the Auditors report, just
issued, it appears that we have a
surplus of arms and deficiency of
hogs.
Let Us take Calhoun and few Of
the surrounding counties for exam :
pie. From the Auditors report it
will be seen that Calhoun returned
for taxes last year 115 hogs and g.
662 guns and pistols; Cherokee 377
hogs and 6,175 guns and pistols;
Etowah 157 hogs and 1898 guns
and pistols; st. Clair 243 hogs and
5SO1 guns and pistols; TalIadega
sos hogs and only 1910 guns and
pistols.
From this it can be readily seen
that the State is already remarkably
well stocked with firearms. while it
is very much behind in the matter
Of hogs. Talladega, for instance,
has slxty-six times more people
than it has hogs, but a little over
three times more people than it has
guns and pistols. In other words,
there is . gun or pistol for every
head of family in Talladega county.
with an abundance left over for the
women and children.
Now in view Of this state of
things, and in view of the fact that
this State must become self>sustain-
ing to become prosperous, everybo-
dy will agree tina. in event he gets
it Mr.. Bowman had better srend MS
money for hogs than for firearms.
Of course everyone knows that
the number Of hogs returned for
taxes does not present the entire
number on hand in any county; but
still the disparity between this ele>
ment of life on the one hand and
those instruments of death is very
great.
