Death of David, Jones, an American Actor,
Who Was Passenger-Others without
Water ana Food for Six Days and Nearly
Dead When Rescued.
Port Townsend, Wash, Feb. 8. The
ship Louis Walsh, from Callao, brought
two of the crew, Stewart Chase and
Cook Mitchell, from the ship Parthia,
which was burned at sea several weeks
ago, 300 miles southwest of Juan Fer
nandez Island. Tho Parthia was coal
laden, from Liverpool to San Francisco.
The first intimation that she was atire
was when a dense volume of smoke
broke through tho hatch. Three boats
in charge of Captain Carter and his
first and second mates, respectively,
were we'll provisioned and launched.
The same afternoon, when the boats
were three miles distant, the ship blew
up and sank. For four days the
three boats remained together, when
storm came on and the second mates
boat was lost sight of. Water filled the
boats and the mems clothes and nearly
all the provisions had to be thrown
overheard. The captains and the first
oilicer'a boats reached Juan Fernandez
Island and from there the seamen were
taken to Valparaiso by a Chilian man
of-war. Tho second mates boat had a
severe time and was IA days reaching
Valparaiso. For six days lis occupants
were without water and food. David
Jones, an American actor, who was a
passenger became insane and died.
| Tho other occupants almost despaired
of reaching shore and were considering
the advisability Of resorting TO extreme
| measures when a wind sprang up and
carried their boat to Valparaiso, where
the crew was taken ashore unconscious
and nearly dead.

Morocco Manufacturers Get Into an Un-
pleasant Wrangle.
The morocco manufacturers of this
city had lively meeting on Saturday
afternoon at the Office of Charles Baird
& Co. About two weeks ago the mo-
rocco men appointed Gen. j Parke
Postles and Charles Baird a committee
to see the Patent Tannage Go. people
of Philadelphia and learn whether any
arrangement could be made for the use
of the company's patent process. Gen.
Postles however went 10 see Mr. Burk,
the president of the company, with
Messrs Mitchell and Thomas, but with
out Mr.. Baird. There was then some
talk among the morocco men as to what
this action upon the part Of Gen.
Postles might mean. Messrs. Mitchell
and Thomas arranged for the use of the
process.
At the meeting on Saturday Mr..
Baird was to report concerning visit
to Boston in the interest of the morocco
men. The meeting was well attended
and had just about opened when Gen.
Postles entered the Office and pro-
ceeded to make explanation OF his
action. In the course of his remarks
th3 lie was passed between him and
William Bond of the firm Of Fritz Y
Co. Then Mr.. Postles attempted to
strike Mr.. Bond, but the latter wardcd
off the blow, and the two men were
separated by others present. Mr..
| Postles was informed that his action
was in the highest degree ungentle-
manly. Further proceeding upon the
matter of the patents was postponed.
