ADRIFT IN AN OPEN BOAT,
Horrible Sufferings of a Family
Picked Up Off the
BermudaS.
Parents and Children DelirIouS for
the Want of Food and
Drink.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July S.-For forty
one hours Joseph Dollas, his wife, Rosie,
and two children, one years and the other
II months old, were in an open boat OF
the Bermudas without food or water.
The children had become delirious and
the mother frantic; the father was hardly
less affected. All four had given up hope,
and were lying in an agony of hunger
and thirst and despair when the look
out on the British steamship Beallarden,
which arrived here yesterday, saw them.
Captain Davidson ordered the man at
the wheel to bear down to the little boat.
AS the Beallarden drew near the officers
on the bridge could make out red dress
flying from the masthead. As far as they
could make out there we're three persons
in the craft. and all appeared to be dead.
Seated in the stern seat was the gaunt
figure of man holding little boy in his
arms, and beside him was a woman, with
her arms clasped over her breast, as if
shielding some object. The Beallarden
drew closer. and when half a mile from
the boat Captain Davidson ordered the
whistle of the steamship blown, but no
attention was paid to it by the small
boat.
Suddenly the man opened his eyes. He
looked about and then, seeing the big
steamship, tried to rise, but fell back ex-
hausted. "Water, for Gods sake, water"
moaned the man in the sailboat when the
Beallarden ran alongside. A bucket full
was lowered from the side of the steamship
TO the deck of the little sailboat.
Then occurred scene which brought
tears to the eyes of the sailors on the
Beallarden. The man, before touching his
own parched lips with the water, tried to
awaken his wife. He shook her gently,
but there was no response, only moan.
Here's water, Rose" he said.
Still no response. Then the man
plunged his hand into the pail: He drew
back his wife's head and put handful of
water to her lips. She opened her eyes
and smiled. She seemed to think it a
dream until her husband raised the pail to
her lips. She drank. She slaked the
thirst of her offspring and then the hus-
band drank. When Captain Davidson
asked if they were hungry the man said
they were. They were supplied with food,
and the man told his story.
His name. he said, was Joseph Dollas
He was d Bermuda fisherman. changing
his residence from one part of the island to
another. He put all his household goods
in his twentyfoot fishingsmack, and with
his wife and family, q days before, left
Bermuda. There was bad weather, and
the Rosie drifted from her course to the
northeast. Not a vessel came in sight.
The provisions gave out. and the four per-
sons were all but dead when the Beallar-
den came in sight. July 5 the Rosie was
100 miles east of Delaware. Mrs Dollas
became i'll; her little child was dying in
her arms when Providence sent assistance.
Captain Davidson suggested that Dollas
abandon the Rosie. This the Bermuda
skipper refused to do, saying it was all he
had in the world.

MODERN WAR BALLOONS.
Those in Germany the Latest as I
Shape.

shape.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July S.-Inter-
esting accounts are given in the bulletin
on the autumn military maneuvers of 1894
in Austria, France and Germany, issued
by the military information division of
the War Department, of balloons manipu-
lated by the troops in the field.
That in the German army, the bulletin
says, is the latest as to shape. The spheri-
cal balloons sway and spin in the wind in
such manner as to make it very difficult
to take observations from them. To obvi-
ate this inconvenience the new form has
been devised. 1t is a cylinder about 90
feet long by IS feet In diameter. Outside
the main cylinder are two conical ex-
form is more stable than the usual spheri-
cal one. The device for towing and land
ing the balloon by hand consists of an iron
bar about inches wide by feet long. In
the middle of this on the upper side is at
tached a grooved wheel, carrying the cable.
On the lower side are fourteen rings,
through each of which rope is passed
leaving the ends about five feet long. 1t is
practicable to lead the balloon by hand
wherever detachment of twenty-eight
men can walk.
To land the balloon without loss of gas
the lower end of the cable is made fast to
q tree or held by squad of men. Twenty
eight men on the hand ropes then walk
tow ard the spot where the balloon is to be
brought down. AS they march along the
cable is laid on the ground, and when they
have gone distance equal to the height
to which the balloon has assembled it is
landed. Written communications from
the basket are sent down the cable in tin
cylinder attached to it by rings.

KILLED FOR HIS PROPERTY.
Hyon,'ng Ramcher Murdered 6y an
Enptoye.


PIERRE, S. D., July 8.--The man ar
rested at Miller Saturday under the name
of Nels Carlson and brought to this city
yesterday on suspicion of having MUIR
dered the real Nels Carlson, was put in jail
last night, and after telling number OF
contradictory stories at last broke down
and confessed to the deed.
He gives his true name as E. w. Davis
and his home Wellington, Ill.,, where he
has no relatives nearer than uncles and
aunts. He hired to Carlson at Gillette,
Wyo., where Carlson left bunch of horses
and much stock, which Davis was attempt
ing to dispose of while here. They came
together at point about fifty miles west
of Fort Pierre, where the murder was COM
mitted.
Carlson, the murdered man, owned a
ranch on the Sinking Water River in
Northwest Wyoming, near Marquette
Postoffice, and has been through this part
of the State every summer for several years
selling horses, and last year left a herd at
Miller, which Davis had a claim for just
before his arrest. Carlson, in his visits to
this city had made the acquaintance OF and
became engaged to Miss Blanche Car
penter.
a body of men will go out from Fort
Pierre to take up the body and give it a
decent burial. The Circuit Court is now in
session at Fort Pierre, and Davis will
likely be tried this week, as all the circum-
stances indicate cold-blooded murder for
the purpose of securing Carlson's property.
Davis will probably get the full extent of
the law

ONE TN FIVE THOUSAND
The Proportion of Fad Tempered " omen
is Worry Small.

A famous doctor, who regards nagg1ng as
disease, says that one woman in fifty IS more
or less afflicted, while only one in five thou
sand is a hopeless nagger, or. in other words,
has an incorrigibly bad temper. Well that is
good showing, considering what women have
to put up with in hot weather They work in
overheated kitchens. They are vexed with
thousand cares and when night comes, what
with cooking, mending, and the care OF restless
children, they are utterly worn out.
The learned doctor doesn't say what sort of
medicine he gives his nagging patients. Natur-
ally, he would not publish his prescriptions in
the newspapers. But wonderland men too
who feel the whitening, blighting effect of the
torrid weather, may be assured that nothing
else than pure stimulant like Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey will give them the sustained
energy and elasticity for which that standard
stimulant is famous.
Free from deleterious matter as mountain
spring, this whiskey sharpens the appetite and
assists digestion. Possibility of danger in
drinking water and in the seasons fruits and
vegetables is averted by Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey. tangled nerves and a stomach in
clined to mutiny are sources OF discomfort
which cease to annoy when the entire system
ia toned with Duffy's Malt Whiskey.

DENVER HOTELS CROWDED
Fully Twelve Thousand Edu-
Gators Already in the
City.
Eloquence and Erudition
Begin.

| DENVER, Colo, July 8.-From esti-
mates made at noon to-day of the number
of arrivals to the National Educational
Association convention it can again be
reiterated with safety that the attendance
will reach $4,000, if it does not go beyond
that figure. The railroad, reception and
hotel committees agree in saying that there
are already II 900 visitors in the city, with
Tuesdays and Wednesdays arrivals yet to
be counted. The general sessions of the
association open at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon in the Central Presbyterian
Church. From that time on little will be
heard about town but educators talk
The church auditorium is being put in
decoration to-day. The pleasure-seeking
multitudes are coming back from the re-
sorts about the State and are getting
ready to hear eloquence and erudition for
the next four days, to the exclusion of
everything else.
DENVER, CoLo., July S.-The attend
ance of spectators at the meetings of the
Council of Education has been Increasing
each day, and this morning the discomfort
from lack OF room was SO great that the
afternoon session was held in the audito-
rum of the Denver High School.
The report OF the committee on norm al
education was presented by the chairman,
John w. Cook, president of the Illinois
State Normal School, at Normal, Ill The
topic discussed was THE kind and amount
of practice work and its place in the nor
NAL school course" To obtain informa-
ton respecting the usage of normal schools
circulars were sent to the leading institu-
tions of that character in this country.
Reports were received from sixty-three
schools.
Professor Cooks paper was resume of
the various plans adopted, with COMPARE
sons and conclusions. The questions of at
what time shall PRACTICE work begin and
how much of it shah be done were the
main ones. The report recommended
practice work after year of theoretic
work, to be carried on part Of each day.
The committee deprecated the custom OF
some normal schools requiring diplomas
from high schools, which is claimed to
result in filing the normals with girls and
the schools with women teachers, the the
DRY being that man $ influence is as much
needed in the schools as that of woman.
The discussion was participated in by
n. G.. Shaeffer of Harrisburg, Pa; S. G.
Williams of Ithaca, n. Y; James M.
Green of Trenton, n. j.; George P. Brown
of Bloomington, III. q. Richards of Wash

cation.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 7.-Senator
Blackburn has been called off the stump in
Kentucky. He had an appointment to
speak at Carlisle to-day.
He went there and took the stand for
twelve minutes, telling why he could not
speak. Senator Blackburn is still so rabid
in favor OF free coinage that the Democratic
State Central Committee thought the in
terest of the party would be better served
if be kept out of the fight. Consequently
letter was addressed him by Chairman
Carroll, asking him to make no speeches.
Senator Blackburn said he had worn the
Democratic harness so long that he was
we'll accustomed to it, and did not think
he could work for any other party. How
ever, he said he would do as he had been
requested, and make no more speeches.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July S.-A Times
special from Panama says:
A. c. Love, the Texas forger and en-
bezzler, was brought here yesterday on the
steamship Casma. Hewas captured in the
province of Chiriqui, travelling under the
name of Arthur Lorrain. He had passed
from Mobile through Bocas del Toro and
reached David, where he was apprehended
by the police.
What led to his arrest was the fact that
he was at first mistaken for forger for
whom the police were looking, because he
was trying to change greenbacks into Co,
lombian money. He was finally captured
aboard a sailing vessel which was leaving
Pedegral for Punta Arenas.

Wheat Takes Dosrn4card Turn on the

CHICAGO. ILL, July S.-Speculators on
the Chicago Board of Trade to-day threw
wheat, corn, oats and provisions on the
market regardless of price. Wheat, at the
close of the session, showed decline of
3ss cents since Saturday afternoon. Cash
wheat is now only about Is cents higher
than the lowest price it sold for last winter
and about 16 cents lower than the price it
was bringing six weeks ago. July wheat,
which sold for more than 81 cents near the
end OF May. was worth only 66H cents at
one time to-day.
The fact that foreigners are getting all
the wheat they need from Russia, India
and other competitors of the United States
was the uppermost consideration in the
minds of the spectators in their selling
anxiety.
