riences were rescued and landed at ST.
Michaels
The Elisha Gibbs left Newport News
March l with a cargo of coal for New
Bedford. She was manned by the cap
tain and seven men.
The day of sailing the wind commenced
to blow strong from the northwest, in
creasing in force until March 8. When
off Abescon, the schooner was stripped
of all her canvas, the wind blowing it
to ribbons and her boats were swept away
by the enormous seas, which flooded the
vessel fore and aft She soon became
unmanageable and was obliged to run
before the gale.
The schooner pounded and strained, the
sea tossing her about in an alarming
manner until she sprang a leak. The situa-
ton was now serious, as Ii was apparent
that she would float but few hours, and
On March g. at 4:30 o'clock in the morning,

a boat in charge of the second officer,

siderable difficulty, four men were hauled,
by means of lines, to the lifeboat These

life boat returned for a second trip. When
but a short distance from the side of the
steamer it capsized, and the crew were
thrown into the sea. The cutter of the
steamer was quickly lowered, in charge
of the first officer, and picked up the men.
who were nearly exhausted. The second
officer was with difficulty restored to con-
seriousness. The first officer, with the
cutter, then went to the wreck and took
off the balance of her crew. The crew of
the schooner saved nothing but the clothes
they wore.
The Scottish Prince was on a VOYAGE
from New Orleans for Genoa. She stopped
at st. Michaels for coal, and landed the
shipwrecked mariners. The captain and
mate embarked on the Kingsweil. leaving

MERELY AN INCIDENT.
Soon There VIII BE no Recollection
of II in the World

Davisboro, Ca, April 14.-Near the site
Of the railroad track four miles west of
here, was found yesterday a bundle wrap
ped with a large paper bag Upon exami-
nation it proved to contain the corpse of a
pretty white baby with light hair and eyes,
apparently not more than a day old. The
child had not been dressed with care and
had evidently not been dead long when
found. The only reasonable deduction
that can be drawn from the circumstances
is that some depraved passenger on the
night train threw the bundle containing
quented swamp. The position of the baby
and the bursting of the paper bag all sup
port the theory that the hidden crime was
committed by some passenger in the hope
of shielding forever the disgrace of the
child's parents. Near the scene, in the
lonely swamp, the child was given a bur
ial, such as it was. and soon nothing will
mark the place where sleeps an innocent
and murdered babe.

the cure must be in making the blood
