The first outraged oyster dredger or the

luck story to that official.
He gave his name as John Sell, native
Of Ohio, twcuty-four years of age, and
said he had Just succeeded in getting away
from the oyster dredging schooner chcs-
the lower Potomac.
Sell was much emaciated, and looked as
though he had ieen suffering severely.

The amateur dredger was put ashore at
an isolated place on the banks OF the Po-

CEMENT IS BAD.
Building Inspectors Allegation Re
gartiing the Crematory Wall.

The building inspector has notified the
garbage contractor that the long retaining
wall built on the south side Of Water street,
between Twenty-second and Twenty-third
streets, preparatory to the installation of
the Smith crematory, is not constructed ac-
cording 20 the building regulations, and that
the defects must be remedied.
The fault found is with the mortar used,
the composition of which does not include
cement as required by the regulations.
The wall, when completed, VIII be about
one hundred feet in length, and fourteen
feet and six inches in height. Probably one
half of the work is done.
Unless iG can be shown to the satisfaction
of the building inspector that the mortar
is in every respect equal to the quality pre-
scribed for such construction, the wall will
have to be taken down and rebuilt.
There will be no delay, it is understood,
in the work of installing the Smith plant,
as that work can go forward pending the
change in the retaining wall. The owner
of the furnace is in the city, and has made
arrangements to begin his brick work en-
Monday next. rHf'
Itmay be stated. in this connection. what
the building inspector is taking pains TO
enforce the regulations in every particu-
lar, both as to the material used. bond
ing when necessary and in all other es-
SentialS.

CREW ALMOST DROWNED
Clung to the MaSts of Their Wrecked
Ship on Erie.
When Lines Were Thrown From
Breakwater They Jumped into
Icy Waves and We're Saved.

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 13.-A furious gale
that swept over the lake from the west al
daylight this morning brought trouble 10
two schooners off this harbor. At 8 a. III.
the schooner Marine City was being towed
nto the river by the tug Gregory, when lhe
line parted and she was leit drifting helll-
lessly in the breakers.
Before assistance could be rendered lhe
schooner drifted ashore. As the schooner
was light, she grounded ON the SAND boitoili
without sustaining serious damage she
was released by the tug Marguerite.
A serious condition of affairs, that may
result in the loss of the schooner Brenton,
was soon afterward discovered outside the
breakwater. The vessel was owned and
commanded by Capt. Albright, OF this
city. She cleared from Morpath, Canada,
Thursday night.
She mana ged to keep up fairly we'll until
off the entrance OF the harbor, when size
was taken in tow by the tug Harris. The
tow line parted and the schooner again
dyifted 'helpleSSly toward the center OF
the west breakwater. The anchor was
dropped. but it dragged in the sand and
the vessel continued its dangerous course
The schooner finally brought up against
the stone projection of the breakwater
and began pounding heavily. The life
saving crew, under the Command of Capt
Motley, was towed out by the tug Gregory.
Capt. Motley realized that in the heavy
seas nothing could be done to release the
schooner and he undertook to rescue
the crew.
The crew were clinging to the masts.
Tie tug Gregory tried to get line TO the
Brenton, but was prevented by the high
seas.
After giving Up all hores of pulling the
Breniun from her perilous osition, life
prcservers, attached to lines, were thrown
abroad from the Ereakwater by Capt Mot
ley'xmen Those aboard the schooner then
Jumped into the icy water of the lake.
They exerted every possible effort TO
keep afloat, but were under water most
of the time, as they were pulled into the
breakwater. Exposure on the schooner
and the chilling bath, left them exhausted
