The case OF O. A. Turney, charged
with carrying concealed weapons,
growing out of the Turney- Ford affair,
came up before Recorder Schwartz
yesterday afternoon. The defendant
appeared and was accompanied by his
attorney, Thos. Armstrong, Jr. Though
the case was not called for trial there
seemed to be disposition on the part
of the defense to assail the city ordi-
nance on the ground that it conflicts
with, or rather does not exactly agree,
with the statutes, in that one makes
the penalty fine only, while the other
assesses fine or imprisonment or both.
On account of the attendance at district
court of Judge Kibbey, acting City at
torne!v, the matter was postponed.

New York. Feb. s-The asfesav1ng crew

South 9anch opposite PASSPORT, l. L.
was out at daybreak and down to the
beach in the teeth OF the storm to make
ore more attempt to reach the men laxsaA

known schooner. When the ME savers
le1t at daybreak seven men were hang
ting In the rigging. Az the icy winds did
not asbate. and as the waves were wash
ing over the grounded. ice-locked wreck,
the life savers felt that the men must
surely be dead. Capt Baker fixed hus
glass upon the ice-arapea rigging OF the
wreck seven forms hung there, not one
having fallen during the might, but three
OF the men were hanging head DOWN Evil
IDENTITY they had dashed their legs when
they went In the rigging 20 escape the
fury OF the gale. During the night they
died. and, their fingers relaxing. the
bodies had fallen, hanging by the knees.
The life savers tried to launch Hfeboat.
but the shore ice made that effort vain.
Tho lifeline was then fred into the rig

life to whoever could reach 1t, and 1t was
within q few feet OF each Of the FIVE up

one man stirring. He painfully and slow
~ disengaged himself from the iashings
and started toward the line. He took
few steps. paused, hesitated. almost fell
and climbed back TO the surer support he
had left. In a few moments another man
began to work himself loose. and, suc-
ceeding. got out In a slow way that was
painful to see. He got q little further
down than the first man and then he, too,
stopped. He almost lost his balance. re-
gained lbs hold. remounted and wrapped
himself in the cords OF the rigging In the
place he had left. The life savers were

In the rigging were too weak. too stiff,
too nearly frozen to do anything more
than fasten a line II 1t fell across their
bodies. 50 the cannon was fred again and
again. but without success. The last
line was fired about midday. and fror,
this time until dark the life savers, shell
tered By the mounds of Ice, watched and
tried TO think OF some way of reaching
the schooner. The life savers think they
can reach the wreck IL she waits until
high tide.
