ty of twenty-five men, who were picked up
from open boats Of Long Island yesterday
morning, by the schooner Helen III. Bere-
dict. were landed here late last right and
left here early today for Woods Holl Mass,
whence they sailed last Sunday. The men
were all reticent about their affairs, and
would give very little information as to
the circumstances attending the wreck,
but 1t was LEANED that their ship was the
steamer j. w. Hawkins, recently purchased
at Baltimore for an alleged Cuban cruise,
and that she sailed last Sunday night, hay-
Ing on board between seventy-five and one
hundred men, bound, it is claimed, 10 Join

The rescued men report that when the
steamer was off the eastern end of Long

Yesterday morning the men were picked
up by passing schooners. The Benedict

that all OF the others were saved.

Mr.. Smith of New York. Those interested
in the sale noticed that plenty of money
Tor the purchase was apparently at
hand, and that the buyers seemingly want
ed to get the vessel away as soon as DOS
slble. A great deal of money was owed by
the steamer to Baltimore parties. An old
account of the crew and other expenses
were promptly paid, and an open account
of ship yard was also settled Two firms
threatened libel suits for money due Them
ana their bills were promptly adjusted. The
sellers asked no questions and the bIIvers
did not volunteer any information of the
future of the steamer
This is the vessel mentioned in Associated
Press dispatches yesterday concerning
which the Spanish minister notified the
State Department, claiming that The Haw-

Sentences Imposed on the Hazlns
Seamen Gunners Approved.
That tine naval authorities are determined
there shall be no color line in the 1avy is
evidenced by their prompt approval of the

and to lose all pay that may become due
them during such confinement, except the
necessary prison expenses. The loss Of pay
IN the case of Fox amounts to $40, ami in
the case of the others it is s44 each.

Sequel to the Anderson -Bowles Runaway
Marriage.
The Little Girl Brought Into Court
TOday-HOxv the Minister
Was Deceived.

The sequel to the runaway marriage of
little Maggie Anderson, the thirteen-year-
old child of Joseph Anderson, with Joseph
T. Bowles, a soldier, said to be stationed
at the Washington arsenal, was the filing
today by the child's father of petition for
the annullment of the marriage.
The petition recites the age Of the girl,
and alleges that the 23d of this month
Bowles enticed her into a marriage with
him at Baltimore, Nd, by the Rev. Mr.
WenZell The petition was presented this
afternoon to Judge Hagner by Mr.. A. A.
Lipscomb, the attorney of the child's faith
er, when she and her father were brought
before the Judge in his private room.
The child is remarkably pretty and in
telligent one, and told her story Of the
marriage to the judge in a perfectly self
possessed manner. Noticing that her dress
reached but a little below her knees. the
judge inquired what induced the minister
to marry her. She explained that her hus-
band was accompanied by fellow soldier,
one Doris, who represented to the minister
that she was eighteen years of age. The
girl also explained that she was furnished
with dress which fell TO her heels, and
that she also wore long gossamer. The
minister, she frankly admitted, was i'm
posed upon by both herself and by her
husband and friend.
The girls father stated to Judge Hagner
that the child became acquainted with
Bowles at the Central Union Mission, where
she was frequently taken by her mother,
and where she often played the organ. Mr..
Anderson was terribly worked up by the
matter, and claimed that the child's mother
had advised him TO allow matters rest as
they We're. Believing that great and ter
rible wrong had been done his child he in
dignantly refused, and stated to a Star re-
porter that If there is any law, military or
civil, to punish Bowles, he will invoke it,
The girl stated that the night of her mar
riage she spent with her husband in Balti-
more. and that they returned to Washington
the next day, when Bowles carried her to
house on Az street and sent for her mother
This house, Mr.. Anderson informed Judge
Hagner, is .frequented by soldiers, and he
claimed that its reputation is very bad
After nearing the statements Of Mr.. Lips
comb and of Mr.. Anderson, and after pri-
vately questioning the child, Judge Hag-
ner signed an order, making the girl a
ward of the court, and restraining Bowles
from in any way communicating or inter-
ferinS with her. The judge also placed the
child in the custody of her father, directing
that meantime testimony be taken in the
case. ---------~
The girl anXiously- besought Mr. LIDS
comb and her father to prevent any pub
Ecity in the matter, but her father and
ner attorney declared that in the interests
of other parents and for the safety of other
children the widest publicity should be
might personally be to her father.

A RAILWAY RUMoR.
Proposed New System, to he Called
the baltimore and Ohio Northwestern


BALTIMORE, Nd, January 2S-It is not
improbable that the refundng of the float
ing debt of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company will result in the formation
Of new system, to be known as the Bal
timore and Ohio Northwestern.
The proposed collateral trust loan will
probably amount to s12,000,O0o instead of
$10,0o0,0oo, at first estimated, the great
er part Of it being intended to fund exist
ing debts, and the balance to provide for
needed improvements on the entire system.
To carry out this arrangement it is in
tended to form, it is said, the Baltimore
and Ohio Northwestern system out of the
various small branches running from Pitts
burg to Chicago, and forming the main
line to Chicago. The Pittsburg and West
ern branch Will be the nucleus of the pro-
posed new system The scheme provides
that new bond be issued on these lines
guaranteed by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad Company, which will be sold to
pay off the company's debts incurred by
these lines.
Another interesting rumor In connection
with the proposed formation of a new
system is that in the event the idea is
adopted Mr.. Thomas NJ. King second vice
president of the Baltimore and Ohio, will
be elevated to the presidency of the new
line.

committee on the District of Columbia,
