BITTER EXPERIENCE
OF the Two Berwicks During the RE
cent Storm--A Passenger
Freezes to Death.

GALVESTON, Tex, Feb. 12.-The tele-
grams from here and Sabine stating that
the tug Seminols passed a sloop bottom up
off High island led several people to be-
lieve that the wrecked sloop was the Scan
dinavian, but such is not the case, and il
the lug passed vessel bottom up it must
have been one OF the several small vessels
that are now missing, among which are the
Josephine D.. the Silas and the schooner
Helen. e
The Scandinavian left here Friday with
a crew of two, Captain Berwick and his
nephew, by The same name, and a passeu-
ger, whose name is.supposed to be Drew
Pender. While off High island the vessel
encountered extremely rough seas caused
by the severe norther, which blew at the
rate OF fifty miles an hour, aud while rid
ing at anchor IN an attempt to weather the
storm sprang leak and was soon thrown
on her beam ends, in which position she
now lies.
1t was then decided by the two Berwicks
to get into the skih aud hang on to the lee
side OF the sloop for protection against the
cold north winds. The passenger remained
on the sloop and during the night froze to
death.
The occupants of the skin were exposed
for forty eight hours in the severest
weather ever known on this coast, and as a
result the elder Berwick will lose both
hands and feet and 1t is probable that he
may die. The younger Berwick had his
ears and the tips of his fingers frozen, but
was able, when the storm abated and the
wind shifted to the east, to pull for tue is-
land, where he found friends who admin
istered relief. The body OF the frozen pas.
senger was left aboard The sloop.
The chief OF police received word today
to take the best OF care OF the Berwicks aud
to send them to their homes IN Sa bins
when they were able to travel.
The other small craft alluded to belongs
to this port and much uneasiness is felt as
to their fate. as they are several days over.

Percentage of q Girl, who Is Heir to Prop
erty in Seymour, Advertised.
Doubt was raised inl the probate court
before Judge Cleaveland yesterday as
to the parentage of Fanny Way Crow
Their, the eight-year-old daughter of the
Rev, John C, Crowther of Rutland, Pa.
The question was raised by the petit
ton of Charles II. Lounsbury of Sey-
mour trustee under the will Of Samuel
HickoX of that town, who died in 1880,
leaving an estate valued at $1,000 in
trust to his daughter Harriet Hlckox.
The will stipulated that at the death
OF the daughter the property should go
to her children, but in case she died
childless it should so to the heirs,
When Mr.. HiclSox died his daughter
was thirty-five years old and unmar-
ried. Three years after she came into
possession of the property she married
John G. Crowther, then laborer in the
brass mill Of the Seymour Manufactur-
ing company. Crowther was twenty

did not long survive.
On February 2, 1887, Mr., Crowther told
Judge cleveland, a second child, Fan
ny May Crowther, was born in New
York at the home of Dr. ]. w. Palmer
a clairvoyant. He showed certificate
of the child's birth which he said was
made out by DR.. Palmer, and also
| photograph Of Mrs. Crowther which he
| held showed a resemblance between
mother and daughter. Mr.. Crowther
wept ais the photograph was passed
around, but his daughter was not af-
| fected by her fathers tears.
There was no evidence to show that
the daughter was riot the child born in
New York, though Mrs. Jane Northrop
of Woodmont testified that Mrs. Crow
Their had said upon her return from
New York to Seymour that the child
| was not hers, csE,
Mrs. Northrop is one Of the heirs Of
Mr.. Hickox who object to Mr.. Louns-
bury turning the property over to Miss
Crowther. The others are John French,
| a patient at the general hospital in this
city, and Mrs. Harriet G. Beebe Of Ar
gus, Ind. 9a
| Judge Cleaveland told Mrs. Northrop
that evidence must be produced to show
| that Fanny Way is not Mrs. Crowther's
daughter, and he requested Mr.. Crow
ther to have DR.. Palmer in court when
the case came up again.
