SHIPWRECKED CREWS
OF TWO VESSELS PICKED UP AT srA-rE

OF TWO VESSELS PICKED UP AT SEA--TER-
 RIBJE EXPERIENCES OF THE MEN.
 BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-Two shipwreeked noon by the British steamship Queens- more, from Liverpool. The men had sui fered terribly, and two died from exposure before the rescuers arrived.
 On Monday night at 10 o'clock Captain Hawkett of the Queensmore, when about 19o miles east northeast off Cape Charles, saw signals of distress, and run- ming alongside found the schooner Alma Cummings, from Port Royal, g. C., for Boston, with lumber, in command of Captain Cummings, with a crew of seven men. The boat was leakiu 2 badly and had been kept afioat for two days only through the unceasing efforts of the crew at the pumps. They had been without food, and most of the men had their hands and feet badly frozen. They were completely exhausted when taken from the sinking vessel.
 On the following morning the Queens more foupd 100 miles east northeast of Cape Charles, a small boat, in which were six men and two corpses, the crew of the schooner Marian of the Sprigg. The Sprigg was bound from Lambert's Point for Bos- ton with a cargo of coal in charge of Capt. Ira w. Hatch. The heavy ice cut her through, and she sank at the mouth of the Chesapeake bay almost before the small boat could be launched. There was mo time in which to provision her nor to aave the crew's effects. The boat was blown out to sea, and for rty-eight hours the men battled with the waves, trying winds and the bangs of hunger and thirst. Charles Urban of Philadelphia died of ex- posure.

A STAMPEDE FOR WORK.

BROOKLYN, Feb. 14.-Despite the vote of the delegates of District Assembly No. 75, Knights of Labor, to continue the strike there was almost a stampede of strikers this morning to get back to worsS. Some of the men who applied at the offices of the Brooklyn City railway said the vote of the delegates was simply "bluf,'' but back to work as best they could. At 8 o'clock over 100 men who went out on strike had applied for work at Ridgewood stables. Superintendent Goodwin gave them slips showing the order of their ap- plications and sent them to President Lewis office. The same course was pur- sued at other depots. President Lewis did not have time to consider the applications today, but he put them on file. The men who are taken back will be hired under individual contracts and put to work be- side non union men.

The German Reiohstag Hears Two
 Interesting Speeches.
THE ,EASTER TO THE ELBE
On z Deputy Defends the r S9is, While Another Scores
 Z Them Unmerclfully.

ssss, sRLlN, Feb. 14.-Thcre was a lively de- ss in the reichstag today over the ques-
 D as to the safety of ships at sea.
 Herr Ffese, radical u nionist deputy for Bremen, alluding to the attacks which had been made in the press and elsewhere upon the North German Lloyd Steamship com pany and the criticisms which had been made upon the management of the vessels, declared that the North German line steam- ships were well built and equipped, and their crews were the best that could be found in Germany, comparing favoraby with the crews of the first class ships of any other country. The men were expe- rienced seamen and their officers were trained navigators. No precautions which human foresight could devise, he said, had been neglected by the company ea measures for insurng the safety of the sups and lives of their passengers.
 Herr Bebel, social democrat, declared that 1t was standing reproach to the com pany's management that the crews Of its vessels had never been exercised in boat drills. He himself had conversed with sailors who had been eight years in the service, and they were unanimous in their testimony that the crews had never been put through boat drills. Nor was that all. In the bukheads of the company's ships there were many doors. Here again the crews had never been exercised so that they might learn to close the doors uickly in the event of an emergency. He was of the opinion that in no bulkhcad should there be door. The bulkheads ought to be absolutely water-tight from the keel to the main deck. If there were doors in the bulkheads 1t would only be en elementary measure of precaution to exercise the crews in drill perfecting the men in rapidly clos ing them.
 What were the facts? he asked. Aftsr the disaster to the Elbe an experiment was made on board of the North German Lloyd steamer Sachsen with a view of ascertain ing the length of time necessary to close all of the doors and other apertures in the so- called water-tight compartments. The ex- pertinent proved that before the crew had completed their task fully ninety minutes had elapsed.
 The statements of Herr Rebel created . profound sensation in the chamber.

AND SURRENDER OF ADMIRAL TING TO THE

AND SURRENDER OF ADMIRAL TING TO THE
 JAPANESE.
 WARRINGTON, {, Feb. l4.-A telegram from Tokio, dated today, has been received by the Japanese minister stating that on the 18th instant Admiral Ting sent to Admiral Ito gunboat displaying flag of truce and proposed to surrender to the Japanese all the men, of- war and fortifications at Wei Hai- Wei, together with the arms, stores, munitions of war, etc. ia his possession, on condition that the lives of the Chinese combatants and of the foreigners in the Chinese service should be spared.

 The following cabIegram was received today at the state departments:
 'IOKIo, Feb. 14.-Gresham, Washing ton: Admiral Ito reports Chinese gun- boat flying white flag brought Admiral Ting's message proposing surrender of the ships, forts and arms, provided the lives of the fficers, crew and soldiers were assured. The formal surrender is being arranged. DuN.'

A TERRIBLE DEED.
A Prominent Planter Near New Lewis
 vile Murdered

Last night Mir. R. A. Ware, of this city, received q letter from New Lewisville giving the details of a terrible crime that was committed near that place Saturday night.
 Near New Lewisyille lives Mir. L. NJ. Carlton, the father of Mrs. R. A. Ware. Mr. Carlton is prosperous planter. Saturday evening two white men, who were disguised as negroes went to the house of Mr. Carlton and asked for something to eat. Mir. Carlton told negro man who was on the place to take them to the kitchen and give them supper. He did so, and while the men were eating the negrosaw that they were white men with their faces and hands blacked.
 After they finished their meals the men called Mr. Carlton to the front yard and when he arrived there they told him to throw up his hands. Both of them were armed with pis- tols. Mir. Carlton refused, or, atleast did not throw up his hands, and they fired at, and instantly killed him. The negro servant ran out to see what was the matter and the murderers fired several shots at hmi. This negro fled and ran to a neigh bor's house and gave the alarm.
 Mr. Carlton was an old man, being in his 10th year, and was highly re- spected in the community in which he lived.
 Mir. and Mrs. Carlton have several sons who lived with them, but on the evening of the murder they were visiting the home of a neighbor.
 The community in which this out rage occurred is Il thickly set tied one, and a posse was quickly formed and started in pursuit of the murderers and it is believed that they will be captured.
 It is supposed that robbery was the incentive that led to the killing as it was generally believed that Mir. Carlton always kept large sum of money in his house.
