NINE SAILORS RESCUED.
Taken from a Sinking Dutch Brig by He
rOic Life Savers.


EAsTPoRT, L. l., Feb. THE Dutch
brig Gem, Captain Dinzey, came ashore
on Great South shoaI, opposite this place.
During Tuesday night one of her anchors
was lost. At daylight she was seen strain
ing and Juggling at the remaining anchor.
The life savers made several desperate at
tempts to reach her, but did not succeed
until about 10 o'clock.
The briggs ropes and blocks were coated
with ice, and there was thickness of sew
eral inches on the deck. To hoist or lower
sail was impossible. All the crew had
frozen hands. feet and faces. The life
savers could not take off the sailors then
without mourning great danger, but by Q
o'clock the nile suffering men were
safely housed in the station. In the after
noon the chain of the remaining anchor
parted, and carried by the gale the brig
worked in shore and finally grounded.
About dark the rising tide floated the
brig. She was carried to the southeast,
and when lost to sight was drifting in that
direction rapidly. She was slowly sinking,
and will undoubtedly founder.

New YORK, Feb. THE members of
Pants Makers association 325, Knights of
Labor went on strike yesterday They
demand an increase of % per cent. on bast-
ing work, and that the agreement entered
into on Sept. II, 1894, be renewed six
months. The strikers claim that this
agreement has been violated by the COLI
tractors, and that the bonds given by
them for its fulfillment have been found to
be worthless. The men say that wages
were reduced 40 per cent in violation Of
this agreement. Only one of the contract
ors has consented to the terms of the
strikers. About 600 hands are out, mostly
women and children.

HAyERHTLL, Mass, Feb. THE cold
weather has caused great fering among
the poorer portion of the strikers, and
many families last night were without

terday family consisting of husband,
wife and four children were evicted for
non-payment of rent. Their goods were
put out on the street and the family driven
out into an atmosphere dogs below zero.
The husband was forced to apply for aid
