LOSS OF THE H. j. scUDoER. E1
The Crew Saved Their Lives but Lost All
They Had.

Greenport. LII, February 9. 9.-Schooner
Fl. j. Scudder, Captain Rayner, went
ashore on Orient Point Bar, Long Island
Sound, on the north side of the beacon in
Plum Gut at eight last night. She was
carried on by the tide, owing to her
anchors not holding on the rocky bottom.
The Scudder was loaded with coal, CON
signed to New London, and the cargo
was insured. She left New York Friday
night andsanchored off New Haven at
midnight, leaving the latter port early
Saturday morning. Opposite Horton's
Point light house the wind, which ha d
been blowing southwest, shifted to the
east, and the vessel tackled along near
Orient point when the wind died out,
aud she struck the bed rock and headed
north.
At ten the gale began blowing. The
rocks pierced the vessel and she sank
rapidly in twelve feet OF water. The crew
barely escaped with their lives, leaving
all their personal effects behind them.
The Scott's Wrecking company of New
London, has been summoned as the
schooner is breaking up. A heavy seasis
running and she will undoubtedly go to
pisceslby morning. The Snudder Is owned
by G. W. Hartley of Greenpoint. She was

at S12 000

YESTERDAYS STORM.
Kept People Indoors and Made Congrega-

For several hours yesterday there was
heavy snow storm accompanied by a
high wind. People who could do SO
remained indoor and very few were out.

carried less passengers than on any
previous day this season. On one trip
from the Union station to the hill, but
three persons were on the Car at any
time, and but one went to the hill
At the Pine street church last evening
Rev. E. q. Rogers had been announced
to deliver a sermon in the Civic League
course of temperance sermons, but only
small audience gathered, and it was de-
cided to postpone the address for one
week.
The storm had depressing effect on
the series of missionary meetings held
yesterday, and at the St. Lawrence street
church Rev. A. H. Wright referred to
the storm as having deprived many of
the pleasure Of listening to "the best
missionary address ever heard" the
speaker being DR.. Berry.
The electric system in the city worked
we'll. There was a slight difficulty in
starting and stopping but the trips were
made on time. Outside the city there
were more delays. 1t was hard storm,
and it is thought must have bsen ex-
treInely so along the coast. Cautionary
signals were UP however, and no special
damage to shipping is considered
probable, the only danger being the ex-
tremely thick weather outside.

HAMMOND MADE TROUBLE.
So Say Americans Who Have Returned
From the Transvaal,

| Ironwood, Mioh., February S.-Capt.
William Knight and party, who left this
oity last spring for the gold fields OF
South Africa, have returned.
They tell an interesting story of the
troubles in the Transvaal. For a couple
OF weeks before HJameson's ride'' the
officers of the mining companies were
smuggling rifles and ammunition into
the country on the bottom of coke cars.
On Tuesday, December 81, the mines were
shut down and the men ordered to take
guns and ammunition and BIZ prepared
to march to Johannesburg by O'Clock
in the afternoon.
The Michigan party left at once and
were just over the line in the Orange
Free State when the battle between the
Beers and Jameson occurred. Many OF
the miners we're forced into taking UP
arms by the mining officials, who shunt
up all the boarding houses and bought
all the available provisions and literally
starved the men into accepting their
| terms.
Capt. Knight says that the miners,
or the foreign population of Johannes
| bur hae no fault to find with the Boer
government, and says that everything is
| ing men.
| The members of the party say that
John Hays Hammond, who demands
protection from the United States, is
not entitled to any sympathy whatever.
AS the head Of the so-oalled "reform
committee" +" he was largely instrumental
in causing the trouble. They say that
men in a position to know, claim that
so, 600 British soldiers cannot drive the
Beers from the ITansVaal.
Consuls at Odds.
New York, February S.--The Journal
this morning prints the following under
a Johannesburg date line: The examina.
tion of the members of the Johannesburg
reform committee, who were arrested by
the Boer government, has commenced.
There is practically no evidence against
the prisoners.
The condition of consular affairs here
is very bad. The quarrel between act.
ing consul Knight and consular agent
Mancon is causing serious trouble TO all
Americans in the Transvaal The state
of things, Is of course. very detrimental
| to the position Of John Hays Hammond.
We beg of you and Of all our friends at
| home with the secretary of state to an
point Capt. Mein, who is DOW a prisoner,
| to the position Of U. s. consul. Capt.
| Mein possesses the universal respect of
his fellow countrymen here.
| His being on the spot and his knowl-

Whatever is done in the matter should
be done quickly. In such crisis every

Strange Features of Case Heard al
Augusta.

Augusta, Me-, February s.-Mary Ma
lone was given hearing before United
States Commissioner Choate today for
alleged robbery of letters belonging to
Ernest Gilman at the South Norridge-
wock post office Wednesday. Postmaster
Vasie of South Norridgewock testified as
to the prisoner having received the let
ters from him and later to having at
tempted to pass the money order for $50
inclosed in the letter. She pleaded not
guilty. She says she has half brother
named Ernest Gilman for whom she had
taken the letter thinking it belonged to
him. The hearing was continued to
Wednesday morning. The prisoner will
be held in Kennebeo Jail awaiting its
continuance. Her evidence was remark
able in many ways and shows singular
condolences. Nothing has been heard
from the girls alleged parents who, she
claims, have disowned her.

A TERRIBLE WRECK AT SAILS.
BURY BEACH.

Lie Savers Tramped Many Miles to Try
TO save-While in the Blackness of the
Night they Tried to Send a Life Line,
the Dead Bodies Began to Wash
Ashore.
Newbu-yport, Mass, February "a
three masted sohoon er went ashore this
afternoon on Salisbury Beach.
When first discovered by two Seabrook
nshermen, seven men were seen on the
schooner. They attempted to launch a
yawl boat but it was smashed TO pieces
in the terribl seas. The men then took
the rigging, lashed themselves to the
main and mizzen masts. There is no life
saving station at Salisbury beach, the
nearest one being at Plum island, and

RIVER SEPARATES THEM,
SO there is no means or Communication
except via Newburyport. The telephone
station is three miles distant to this
point, but one of the fishermen haster
thither. He communicated with this
city, and the station at Plum Island was
notified and the savers crossed the river
and walked half dozen miles In the
face Of the storm. In the meantime
horses were secured and the apparatus
hauled over the road twelve miles.
Shortly after eight O'Clock the men
started to throw life line to the

but owing to the darkness and heay

About nine p. m. one body was washed
ashore. and shortly afterwards a second
body was observed in the SURF. At ten
the life savers were endeavoring to get a
line over to the vessel and they will con-
tinue their efforts through the night in
hope of resouing the five men supposed to
be on the schooner. It is highly probable
that all have perished.
