will be Jan. 20 The Blackburn men will
have the new Democratic member here on

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Seven Sailors Meet Death on a
Rocky Bluff,
WRECK OF THE JEANNBTTE oowAN.

The Big Four Masted English Ship Went
Ashore on Vansouver Island, Known as
the Boneyard Of the Pacinc-survlvors
Rescued by the Tug Tyee.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 13.-Ten days of
suffering from cold and privation on
rocky bluff, during which time seven of
the crew, including the captain and mate,
met their death, and the other mate and
seamen met with with terrible accidents,
tells the tale of the wrecking of the big
four masted English ship Jennette Cowan
on Vancouver Island, otherwise known rs
the Bone Yard of the Pacific ocean The
news was brought to this city yesterday by
the tug Tyee which had but few hours
before landed fourteen mon bcrs of the
crew at Port Townsend
The tug Tyee sighted the wreck on Sat
urday afternoon. The sea was running
pretty high at the time the tug hove to.
A portion of the crew could be seen on vop
of high bluff, on which tent had been
pitched. A sight met the gaze of the res
ouers that will not be forgotten for years
to come.
Seated about the fire were thirteen men,
all wearing an expression of utter hope
lessness and misery. First mate Charles
Legal, who was lashed to n boatswains
chair, suffering from fractured leg, told
Mate Hall of the Tyee, the story of the dis
aster. He said the Cownn came from Cape
town, South Africa, for Royal Roads, b.
c., and was lOS days out when she reached
Cape Flattery on Dec. 10. There was a
terrible storm off the cape and the vessel
stood off the cape two days before trying
to come in. Then she was driven quickly
to the northward by a strong southwest
wind and sought shelter in the treach-
erous waters of Barclay sound to avoid be
ing driven ashore ON some more exposed
point.
The sound afforded but little shelter,
and she was driven on the rocks ut high
tide This was o'clock on the morning
| of Dec. 81, and Il snow storm was coming
on. The ship seemed to be breaking in
two, and it was decided to leave her at
once, and with the aid of a line made fast
ashore the entire crew was taken off.
Captain Thompson died three days be
fore the arrival of the Tyee, and the cook
and an able seaman and the man who ran
the donkey engine died the following day
the latter becoming violently insane. The
second mate and two apprentice boys met
their death while trying to make land in
small boat the night the ship struck
The survivors of the wrecked vessel are
Smithe, Olson, Kerr, Cox, Chamberlain
Chamberliss Cousin, Heats, ROsano, Car
penter and Wilson.

TERRIBLE WORK OF LYNcHERs
A White Man and His Negro wife Gre
mated by Mob.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13-Patrick Nor
ris, white railroad hand, and his colored
wife met with terrible fate Saturday
midnight They lived in fat boat rear
the West Wego wharf of the Texas and
Pacific, n few miles above the city, on the
opposite side of the river.
On account Of their difference in color,
as well az the charge that they kept dis
orderly place for negroes, there has been a
growing sentiment against them. They
were sitting up in their boat when a body
OF men came down and set fire to the hull.
They sought refuge on shore, and as soon
as they made their appearance they were
riddled with bullets. The woman was
killed outright, but the man foil crippled.
and the two were burned to ashes with
the boat
The authorities of jefferson parish,
where the affair occurred, claim that they
cannot discover the perpetrators, but the
ll-yearold son of the victims, who escaped
with his life and is now in charge of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children says that a business rivalry was
at the bottom of the burning his father
having had trouble with saloon keeper
in the vicinity. He claims to have identi-
fled several of the crowd, all of whom were
white men.
The citizens in the vicinity, however,
say that the place was nuisance aud that
the couple had hecn run away from scv-
eral places. They think that the men
went there for the purpose of giving Morris
whipping, but that he showed fight and
infuriatcd his opprcssors to encompass his
own DOOM

M Wharton, prominent as an evangelist
thinks the millennium is close at hand. In
his sermon yesterday he said in part
"Christ is coming again. 1t will be per-

Men will go on with business as before"
